Dean gets back home around 3pm. His trip back was filled with thoughts of him trying to figure out how he'll talk to Brooke. He wants to talk to her about the Master Plan, but how? Call it off all together? Just tell her how he feels about everything? Does he tell her about the cameras? He didn't check the cameras once on the trip home.

Dean walks in the front door, and Brooke leaps off the couch. "Welcome home babe!" she runs up to him. Instinctually he leans in for a kiss. He's met with a big hug. "Of course..." Dean thinks to himself. As she pulls away, Dean can see the pink collar, still around her neck. "How was your trip?" Brooke startles Dean, staring at him with the same loving eyes. This gives Dean hope. If nothing else, Dean still has Brooke’s heart.

"Boring, nothing fun about working with a bunch of people I don't know on a project." Dean takes off his coat and sets his luggage down.

"Well, I'll make you some lunch. You go relax." Brooke practically hops into the kitchen. With moments like this, everything seems normal. But just as soon as he has a nice thought like that, Brooke comes out of the kitchen a little later and Dean's eyes go right back to the collar. A symbol reminding him that another guy currently "owns" his girlfriend. "Spam and egg sandwiches. Your favorite." She reaches her hands out. She even made one of Dean's favorites, even though she hates spam. Dean again feels loved.

"Thanks babe. You want to watch something?" Dean asks as he sits back on the couch.

"Yeah, just let me go upstairs and shower. I was cleaning so I feel a little dirty." Brooke turns and goes up stairs.

Dean starts to eat and flips through his phone. After a few minutes though, he gets bored of social media. Out of mostly boredom, Dean opens the cameras to look at Brooke in the shower. But when he flips to that camera, Brooke isn't there. Confused and curious, Dean flips through the other couple places she could be, until he lands on Richards room audio. He can hear Richard’s shower running. Why is Brooke in Richard's shower? And what if Dean went upstairs? He would've noticed. Dean puts the phone closer to his ear to try and hear anything. For a long moment, he just hears water running. Then it stops. There's some shuffling around then the door opening. "No bra, and no panties." is the first words Dean hears. It's Richard, giving Brooke a command. He hears no argument or protest. Just a little more shuffling and Richard bedroom door opening.

Brooke slides onto the couch next to Dean. She's wearing a white tank top, which Dean can practically see through confirming she's not wearing any sort of bra, and black pair of black gym shorts. And of course, the pink collar. "What do you want to watch?" Dean asks while acting like he wasn't looking.

"Let's continue watching Cracked Mirror, Tiffany keeps talking about it and I don't want her to spoil it." Dean picks up the remote and flips to Netflix. Starting up the show, Brooke grabs Dean's arm and snuggles into his shoulder. They watch the show for hours, watching episode after episode. Finally, with only two episodes left in the season, Brooke stands up. "I'm getting hungry. I'll go make us dinner." Brooke stretches her arms above her head.

Just as Brooke turns around, Richard walks down stairs. "Dinner sounds good." Richard just keeps his head down looking at his phone while walking into the kitchen.

Brooke just hurries into the kitchen behind him. Dean stands up. stretches himself, and goes into the kitchen as well. Richard is sitting at the table and Brooke is at the cupboards preparing stuff. Dean just sits down across from Richard. "So how are thing going man? I feel like we haven't talked in a bit." Dean tries to strike up a conversation with Richard.

"Not much, looking for a job hasn't been very fruitful yet." Richard talks to Dean for the first time in a long time while not looking at his phone. He's actually looking at him. "I did find a girl though." Richard smiles.

Dean forces his head to stay forward, wanting to look at Brooke. There's no way he means her. Not right to my face. Right? "Oh yeah? how long have you two been seeing each other?" Dean tries to get info.

"Not to long now, maybe a few weeks." Dean can't get anything from Richard's face.

"Well when do we meet her?" Dean gives a quizzical look.

"Maybe soon? I don't know if she's ready yet." Dean sees just the faintest hint of a smile on Richard's face.

Dean decides to see how how much he can get out of Richard. "Well, tell me about her."

"Well, she's a blonde. She has short-ish hair. Nice tits but a great ass." This has Richard laugh a little.

Dean just stares for a moment. All of those things describe Brooke, but nothing there is concrete. The silence goes just long enough to become awkward. Just then, Brooke sits down. "Well, I'm sure she'll be ready eventually." Brooke doesn't look at Dean. This has to be about Brooke.

"She'll be ready when I tell her to" Richard looks at Brooke when he says that.

"Woah man." Dean sounds a little offended for the ‘mystery girl.’

"You don't know her like I do. She loves when I tell her stuff like that. She's a complete sub. I bet she'd get wet just hearing me say that." Richard talks to Dean but doesn't look away from Brooke.

Now Dean knows for sure it's about Brooke. Dean doesn't know how to respond. Richard doesn't know this was all Dean's idea. Well a twisted outcome on what was Dean's idea. Just then a timer goes off. "Foods ready" Brooke jumps up from the table, happy to be away from that conversation.

Richard leans over to Dean while Brooke is turned around. "I'm telling you dude, girls love when a guy takes charge. When they take ownership of them. You should try it. Try with Brooke." Richard leans back again just in time for Brooke to put a plate in front of him. Dean thinks to himself if Richard is testing him. Or maybe testing Brooke. Brooke sets food in front of Dean and sits at her own spot.

The rest of dinner is mostly quiet. They all make small talk from time to time but Richard finishes first and leaves the couple. "I'm surprised Richard could find a girl." Dean makes a comment while clearing the table of his and Brookes dishes.

"Y-yeah, me too" Brookes stumbles a little over her words. Wanting to change the subject, Brooke stands up. "I think I'll head to bed early tonight." She walks out of the kitchen.

Dean isn't to far behind her. "Yeah me too. I miss our bed.”

The two go upstairs and get ready for bed. While sitting and watching Brooke, Dean gets an idea. He's gonna try and take Richard's advice. What if it works, and Dean can get Brooke back right now.
