Gideon apologizes for his cold reaction the other night and admits that he was grappling with losing control during their sexual encounter. He asks Eva if they can begin an exclusive relationship with one another. They talk through this commitment and decide to try. A cautiously optimistic Eva returns to her office and later meets Gideon after work. She worries about how much she cares for Gideon.
Eva and Gideon buy her a new phone and head to his gym. Outside of the gym, Gideon kisses Eva in an exuberant display of affection. They work out before heading to a nearby hotel that Gideon owns to have sex. As Gideon showers, Eva notices that Gideon has stored some of his belongings in the hotel room along with prophylactics and sex toys. She realizes that he has used this hotel room before to be with other women. Jealous and triggered, Eva leaves the hotel room suddenly.
Eva walks around the city after leaving the hotel. She reflects on her choice to leave Gideon rather than talking through her feelings. Gideon calls Eva and tracks her down in a nearby Italian restaurant. He apologizes and takes Eva back to his apartment. He promises Eva that no other woman except his mother and staff have been to his apartment.
