At the end of the night, Ella returns to The Brew looking for Emily because she wants to ask if she's seen Aria. Emily had already left but Zack invites Ella to stay as he is the owner and can eke The Brew open as long as he likes.

Later, when Aria and Ezra are at The Brew, Aria has a brief conversation with Zack about how it feels to see her mom dating someone. Before taking her seat again, she warns Zack that if he hurts Ella, she'll crush his "scones."
That night, Ella drops by to tell Zack she has been dating other guys during the time they have been dating. He says he understands and if she feels she needs to see what's out there he won't stop her, but Ella explains that she hadn't expected to find someone she liked so much so soon. Then they kiss, agreeing to be exclusive.


Zack asks Hanna if she would like mustard, and Hanna says she would before saying that the decorations look really nice. Walking out of the kitchen, Zack says he’s glad she approves, and as he goes to put mustard on Hanna’s sandwich, she starts trying to pronounce the name of a county, before saying that he knows what she means. Zack gives Hanna a heads up that he can smell her from less than a foot away, before questioning whether it is rum he can smell. Hanna says that it’s whiskey, and Zack comments that it’s the rough stuff, “bad girl, huh? Always had a thing for the bad girls”. Zack goes on to say that this is the part where he’s supposed to lecture her about drinking, but he’s willing to keep it between them, “I can keep a secret. Can you?” Hanna asks if Aria made the flowers, and Zack tells her she did, before saying that they’re great. Giving Hanna her sandwich, Zack places a hand between Hanna’s shoulder blades, and as she goes to give him some money, Zack tells her that it’s on him, before trailing his hand down her back.
The next day, Zack knocks on Hanna's car window and gets in, apologizing for scaring her. He says that he saw her out here and thought they could talk. Hanna tells him she was actually just about to leave, and Zack asks what her rush is, and that she should finish her meal. Zack goes on to say that he wasn’t sure what her takeaway was from yesterday, and when Hanna tells him she was sort of off, Zack says that he wasn’t sure if she was feeling the same vibe as him, “I kind of think you were”. Tearing off a piece of paper, Zack jots down his number and passes it to Hanna, telling her to hit him up. Resting his hand on her thigh and giving it a squeeze, Zack opens the car door and heads back out into the rain.
In the Montgomery living room, Zack wonders why he can’t get the decoration making, and Ella tells him that there is a limited amount of tissue paper. Zack wonders if Ella is shaming him, to which Ella tells him he has no shame, and as Zack says that she is shaming him, he leans down to kiss her. After Zack notices the flowers Aria has made, he asks Ella, “is your son great at this to?”, only for Ella to tell him he’s not and that’s why he’s hiding upstairs. Aria announces that she’s going to take a break, and Zack wonders if it’s movie time, but Aria says she thinks she’s just going to go to bed. Giving in, Aria says they should watch the movie and she’ll rally, and movie to the couch, Zack and Ella sit either side of her.
