Episode 3 Logline:Enzo's master plan forces Poppy to confess her love for Stewie in a moment of jealous desperation. But when the manipulation is exposed and James catches them kissing, the game spirals into chaos—and no one emerges unscathed.

Episode 3 Summary:On a bustling street, Stewie's ex-girlfriend Hazel attempts to rekindle their romance, asking for two days to prove she's changed. Though conflicted, Stewie agrees. His feelings are complicated—Hazel is stunning, but his heart belongs elsewhere. When Poppy suddenly appears, jogging alongside him, her questions about Hazel feel pointed and deliberate. She's clearly been following him, and her concern barely masks something deeper.

​

At a coffee shop, Stewie meets with Enzo to discuss his romantic prospects. When Stewie finally admits that Poppy is the one he truly wants—imagining them together in their forties doing crossword puzzles and making love—Enzo reveals his master plan: make Poppy jealous. Tell her about the date with Hazel. Book a hotel. Ask her for condoms. Push her to the breaking point until she admits she loves him.

Back at the apartment, Stewie arrives wearing an expensive suit, claiming he's going on a date with Hazel. Poppy's jealousy is immediate and visceral. She chokes on her chicken when he mentions Hazel ripping off his suit before they make love.
