Episode: 3
Rhea hands her water bottle to Jasper, and he smiles as their fingers meet. He teases her about going back to support his opponents before skating away. Teammate Jake invites Rhea onto the bench and reveals that Jasper never accepts drinks from girls. When Jasper catches them laughing, he sends Jake onto the ice and sits beside Rhea. The match concludes with St. Clair winning and Ethan looking bitter.
Jasper takes Rhea's water bottle, smiling as their fingers brush. He asks if she plans to head back and cheer for the opposing players. After delivering his playful jab, he turns around and glides back onto the ice rink.
Jake asks Rhea to take a seat on the bench. He mentions that Jasper has never taken water from another girl. The two of them talk together, and Rhea laughs out loud at Jake's remarks about Jasper's endless stamina on ice.
Jasper skates over from the rink and tells Jake to take the next shift. Once Jake departs, Jasper sits down right next to Rhea on the bench. He immediately starts teasing her about laughing so hard while he was playing.
The final whistle blows and Jasper's squad secures the win. Both teams line up on the ice for the post-game ritual. Ethan leads his players through the handshake line, wearing a sullen and bitter expression after the tough loss.
“What's this? Bring me water and then go cheer for other guys?”
“You're the first girl whose water Jasper actually took.”
“You look fine to me. Mouth's been running nonstop. Go.”
“What's so funny? You're laughing pretty hard.”
The game finishes with a victory for Jasper's squad. Ethan and his defeated teammates walk through the post-game handshake line looking thoroughly sullen and bitter about the outcome. How will Ethan react when he confronts Rhea about sitting on the rival bench, and will Jasper step in to protect her?
