King of Sloth

Xavier’s father lives through the night, leaving the family hovering and anxious during the following days. Sloane brings Xavier food to ensure that he is eating, subtly showing her concern. As they watch soccer together, Xavier reminisces about his childhood dreams of becoming a professional soccer player, but he admits that he lacked the discipline to make it a reality. Sloane believes that while Xavier is not her rudest or most entitled client, he has the greatest wasted potential.

When Xavier turns the conversation to her, Sloane admits that she played sports as a child, though soccer wasn’t her preference. She slips up by mentioning her sister Pen, who loves soccer. Xavier is surprised to hear that Sloane has another sister, as he only knew about her older sister, Georgia. In another slip-up, Sloane reveals that she has seen Pen recently. Xavier thus becomes one of only a handful of people who knows that she is in contact with another Kensington despite her estrangement from the family five years ago. They are interrupted by Eduardo, who comes to notify Xavier that his father, Alberto, has awoken.

Alone with his father, Xavier faces disapproval. His father admonishes him and insists that he act like the Castillo heir, even though Xavier wants nothing to do with the company.
