Ecstasy (Mixed in Zoey's Drink)

Jean-Paul slips a colorful tablet of ecstasy into Zoey's vibrant champagne drink at the nightclub. She consumes it unknowingly, leading to lightheadedness and her restroom dash. At the street crime scene, Charlie shouts that Jean-Paul gave her ecstasy (X), naming Wes's key forensic lead amid Josh's timeline and the dropped panic button. Agents zero in on Jean-Paul as the source, shifting the frantic search into toxicology tests.

Before: Held, concealed, and already introduced into Zoey's drink by Jean‑Paul prior to the confrontation.

After: Dissolved into the drink and presumably entering Zoey's system; no longer a discrete, visible object in Jean‑Paul's possession.
