Mazarin's idea of the perfect Valentine's gift for his beloved Em is restitution from the woman who did Em wrong. Heading into a rival speakeasy for a little romantic revenge isn't anything Mazarin can't handle, and besting Em's ex at a jive contest should be harmless fun. With a plan, plenty of skill cutting a rug, and Reed by his side, he can pull this off. But there's something fishy about this wingding.
