Just before the season’s finale, the story placed Zoey in a tough situation—she had to figure out whether her heart belonged to Aaron, Luca, or Cash. All three men expressed their love for her on the same night, catching her off guard and adding tension for those watching.
Instead of rushing the decision, Zoey decided to stay in her room, hoping that some quiet time alone would give her clarity. However, her friends had other plans and didn’t hesitate to look for her one after the other, each determined to speak on behalf of the guy they believed suited her best.

Ana came across Aaron at the dining hall, where he tried to impress Zoey by offering Hamilton tickets. Nomi later visited Luca’s room and found him working on an artwork, using a belt that Zoey once designed during a fashion course. Meanwhile, Jazz and Sky approached Cash at the gym.
He confessed that he would rather remain at Cal U than accept an NBA offer, just so he could be with Zoey. Every one of them had serious intentions about being with her. At the same time, tensions increased when Cash attended Aaron and Luca’s marketing class.
There, he stirred things up by asking if Zoey had ever brought up the idea of getting back with either of them. That question quickly escalated into a heated confrontation.
Zoey Follows Her Heart Without Outside Influence
With so many mixed messages from her close friends, Zoey eventually realised that she could not depend on their advice to make her decision. She understood that this was a choice she had to make on her own. Her first stop was a meeting with Cash.
She acknowledged the role he played as her first love and told him he would always have a special place in her life. But she made it clear that he wasn’t meant to be her future. Afterward, she met with Aaron and shared how much she valued the way he challenged her to grow.
Still, she didn’t feel that he was the right person either. At the end of it all, Luca turned out to be the one Zoey chose. She sealed her decision by sharing a kiss with him, showing that her heart had finally found its match.
