Sophie dashed out of the lab, catching sight of Colby deep in his work on the latest inhibitor. "Hey, I've got some good news. Wanna hear it?" she called out. Colby paused and turned to see Sophie at the door. Ever since her last visit, he had been adamant about not letting her into the lab without proper safety gear.

Colby quickly crossed the room. After peeling off his protective gear, he playfully tapped her head. "I keep telling you, it's dangerous here. If you miss me, just holler and I'll come to you." "Mr. Gordon just shared some good news," Sophie said, raising an eyebrow. "Someone might finally get a break from being cooped up in the lab 24/7." Without needing more details, Colby immediately understood. His face lit up with joy as he scooped Sophie into his arms. "Is it true? Is there hope?" "Yes, yes! Now put me down!" Sophie laughed, patting Colby's shoulders to signal him to lower her. As he did, he placed a tender kiss on her forehead. Taking her hand, Colby led Sophie out of the Aldridge Estate. "Colby! Where are we going?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

From the second-floor bedroom, Gordon watched Colby and Sophie head out. "Hey, hey, hey! What's Colby doing?" Adler exclaimed. "If anyone sees them holding hands right now..." "Rick, get a car ready for them," Gordon instructed.

"Yes, sir," Rick replied, hurrying off.

Adler and Jenna exchanged puzzled looks. "Mr. Gordon, where's Colby taking Sophie?" Jenna inquired.
