Marty, Cole and Brianna arrived at the casino and as soon as the maitre' d saw Marty and her children, she escorted them to the private room Zack had prepared for them.
"I appreciate the tickets for dinner for me and my children, but I never expected this?" Marty told the maitre' d.
"Well, Mr. Slater wanted to make sure you were well taken care of." the maitre' d said, not letting on the real reason for the private dining.
As Marty, Cole and Brianna sat down at the table, the head chef came out with a buffet of all Marty and her children's favorite that Zack had miraculously pried out of Marty during her interview.
Cole and Brianna began to eat the delicious dinner as Zack arrived to join them.
"Well, it looks as if you are enjoying your dinner." Zack said, pleased.
"Mr. Slater?" Marty said, surprised. "I didn't expect to see you tonight?"
"I just wanted you to have a pleasant dinner with your children on your first night in Pine Valley and celebrate your first day tomorrow." Zack exclaimed.
"Mom, you got a job here at the casino?" Cole inquired.
"Yes, honey!" Marty told him. "I got the job here."
"I'm happy for you."
"Mommy, this mac-n-cheese is good!" Brianna exclaimed.
"I'm glad you like it, Brianna!" Zack said. "My chef made it especially for you!"
Brianna just smiled and continued eating her mac-n-cheese.
"Zack, thank you for this delicious dinner." Marty told Zack, gratefully.
"I have a confession to make." Zack began. "I really just wanted a night with you and your lovely children."
"I'm touched." was all Marty could say.
As Zack is enjoying his dinner with Marty and her children, Kendall walks into the casino looking for Zack.
"Lily, have you seen Zack?"
"Yes, Ms. Slater." Lily informs her. "He's having dinner in the main private dining room."
"Thank you, Lily." Kendall says, as she heads upstairs to the main private dining room.
When she gets there, she sees Zack enjoying himself with Marty and her children and doesn't like it one bit. She slams open the door to the private dining room, startling little Brianna, as well as leaving Marty, Zack and Cole surprised.
