Potentially Drugged Drink

Zoey mixes this vibrant, colorful drink in a glass with champagne at the crowded nightclub pulsing to 'Angel.' Jean-Paul offers it during their talk about her France plans. She soon feels lightheaded, her agency undercut as disorientation hits amid dancing kids. The liquid glimmers under lights, its contents unknowingly laced with ecstasy by Jean-Paul.

Zoey's Doubt Interrupted by Dizzying Vulnerability

Referenced directly by Zoey as the second drink she mixed with earlier champagne; narratively it functions as the immediate physical cause of her lightheadedness and as a possible vector for compromised agency (implied risk in the nightclub context). It shifts the scene from abstract questioning to bodily vulnerability.

Before: In use at the table/couch area of the nightclub; in proximity to Zoey and Jean‑Paul and being consumed.

After: Consumed partially; its effects (Zoey's lightheadedness) are manifest and the drink remains an implied factor in her vulnerability, potentially suspect though not confirmed.

Zoey's Confession and Jean‑Paul's Quiet Sabotage

A colorful, potentially drugged drink is taken from the waitress by Jean‑Paul and placed in front of Zoey, functioning as the immediate instrument of manipulation and as the physical mechanism that will amplify her disorientation and silence her confession.

Before: In the waitress's tray, being carried past the table among other drinks.

After: Set in front of Zoey by Jean‑Paul; now in reach of the intended recipient and positioned to affect her state.

Drugged: Zoey Confronts Jean‑Paul

Zoey's colorful champagne drink serves as the vehicle for the drug and the immediate evidence of Jean‑Paul's action; it is the tangible object that transforms social intimacy into betrayal and triggers Zoey's decision to withdraw.

Before: In Zoey's possession on the nightclub floor; presented as a normal social drink under club lighting.

After: Still associated with Zoey but compromised as evidence of tampering; functionally abandoned as Zoey chooses to remove herself to the restroom.
