Dean has been sent off on a work trip that ran over time. Way way overtime. He's finally on his way home, and anxious to see his girlfriend Maria. They've always had a pretty healthy relationship, but something seems to be off with her lately – she's told him she has a new hobby, but won't say what it is. Is she hiding something?

When she picks him up from the airport, she's wearing a giant oversized sweater, despite it being the middle of summer. Arriving home, she finally lets him in on the secret as she takes off the jumper to reveal bulging biceps, and enormous shoulders. While he's been gone, Maria has been hitting the gym, hard. Dean is surprised to discover exactly how much he loves her jacked new look, especially once she confides there have been some side effects – like a lot of extra energy she's excited to burn off.
