Blackmail forces a fake breakup to shield careers and futures.
David never expected shielding Owen from a post-game assault would land them in the same hospital bed, let alone rewrite years of on-ice hatred into something tender and unspoken. That fragility shatters when David's parents storm in, weaponizing the intimacy they witness to issue a brutal choice: Owen disappears, or his professional aspirations and Emma's future get dismantled. Cornered, Emma refuses to accept the terms and crafts a reckless alternative — orchestrating a very public, very convincing breakup that masks the truth while buying them time to outmaneuver the threat.
