Whatever happens to the opening of the new flagship store, Josh doesn't care. Sure he is a bit concern about his family well-being, but had learned, years ago, to detach himself from his family business.

His plan to include Zach in the shoot for the ad-campaign of the company wasn't really for the sake of the success of their new flagship store and ensure that they wouldn't lose against Florence Skin, it was all about Zach.

Finding out that his mother had something to do with the accident that almost killed him and Zach, the accident that lead to Zach losing photography; giving up his passion because he would remember the day of the accident and be afraid, made Josh feel very responsible.

He took it in his shoulder to make sure that Zach would return to the world pf photography as soon as possible. It felt only right for him to be the one to cure Zach of his fear of holding a camera once again since his mother is the one that caused Zach to have that fear.

It's been a day since Naomi's visit. Josh told her everything about Zach's alter, leaving the details about revenge and his mother's hand in the accident out. The shoot for the ad-campaign would be in two day, and the flagship store opening would happen three days after the shoot.

Time was passing by, and yet Zach hadn't graced them with his appearance. Zed was in control the whole time, and Josh's only refuge from his flirtatious way was being in the flagship store while Zed was left alone. It wasn't easy to convince Zed not to come, that's when Josh's company-issued credit card came in handy.

That day, it was Zander's turn to appear, and Josh was actually quite relieved to see him. Zander resumed his work in the flagship store, and Josh couldn't be more grateful of that. He was at lost on how to run things smoothly, and Zander can put everything back in track.

Other than the flagship store, Josh had more important matters to attend to. Zach's therapy, for one. Bringing Zach's alter to Dr. Cassie's practice proved to be more challenging than anything else. Zed was impossible to convince, he kept on making a deal that if he went to the practice, then Josh would have to spend a wild night with him.

If it was Zach in control, then Josh wouldn't let that pass that chance at all, but with Zed; Josh wouldn't even think about it.

With Zander it was a lot easier, Josh was actually suspicious as to why he agreed to see Dr. Cassie so easily. What are you up to, Zander? Josh asked wondered as he and Zander walked in Dr. Cassie's office.

"Josh, Zach, it's nice to see you again." Dr. Cassie greeted them calmly as they entered her office.

"Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not Zach." Zander said as he sat down on the couch and crossed his leg. "The name is Zander."

"Zander... I see, the smart one." Dr. Cassie said with a smile.

"I heard a lot about you, and I must say, I am surprise to see you here." She said. "May I know why you agreed to be here?"

"Simple, really." Zander said with a grin. "I'm bored. I need something to do that would exercise my brain." He said. "You're a doctor, maybe you're smart enough to entertain me."

"Zander..." Josh said with a sigh. "That's rude." He said.

"I agreed to be here, at least let me have some fun." Zander argued.

The session consisted of Zander disagreeing and arguing about almost everything that Dr. Cassie says. At one point, Zander turned the table and started asking Dr. Cassie questions instead. Dr. Cassie was very patient the whole time, but Josh just wanted Zander to shut up and just be a normal patient for one second.
