Mallory

teasing provocative confrontational playful forgiving

Mallory erupts into Sam's turbulent night at the Kennedy Center gala as his fiery ex-girlfriend, ambushing balconies and carsides with raw confrontations over a damning call-girl photo that shattered their romance. She flaunts her sizzling entanglement with hockey brute Richard Andrewchuk—bragging bedroom conquests, defending his street-smarts and ice-warrior brawn against Sam's sneers—yet flips to sly provocations, goading taxpayer fury at Galileo's salvage costs to unleash his primal roar for humanity's star-bound destiny. Pissed but playful, she probes unresolved scars, declares tentative truces, and greets C.J. with easy familiarity, her charged chemistry yanking personal vendettas into White House orbits of crisis and conviction.
