While Danny celebrated love, his son Daniel found himself crossing a dangerous line. After visiting the clinic and finding Mariah detached and fragile, Tessa turned to Daniel for comfort. Drinks flowed, emotions spilled over, and one impulsive kiss changed things between them.

Daniel admitted he was falling for her but promised to keep his feelings buried. Both agreed not to let their moment ruin what mattered most: Tessa’s marriage and their friendship. Still, it was clear that line won’t stay buried for long.
