Zoey is dealing with a lot in her life: she is vying for a promotion at work, and her beloved father is slowly dying from a neurological disease. Fearing that she might be developing symptoms herself, she undergoes an MRI. An earthquake during the procedure alters her brain patterns so she can now essentially read minds as people begin "singing" their private thoughts and feelings to her. She uses her power to emotionally connect with a hurting co-worker, Simon, whom she has a crush on, though she later learns that he is engaged. Later, her gift allows her to communicate with her father for the first time in months. Zoey organizes a sailing trip to lift her father's spirits, and takes charge at work in dealing with a system software bug. This impresses her boss, Joan, who agrees to give her the promotion. When she tells some of this to her close friend Max, her gift reveals that he has been secretly in love with her.

Zoey believes that it is a sign he wants to get intimate. She tells her mother, who is delighted, since her husband, despite gaining more control over his muscle movements thanks to improved medication, is still unable to effectively communicate with her.

Later, she and Mo discuss her power, and Zoey realizes that she may be able to use it to help people with their problems.

His condition is beginning to deteriorate rapidly again, and he may have only a few weeks left to live. The extreme stress and sad news cause her power to "reverse", so that rather than hearing other people's most intimate feelings as song, Zoey herself uncontrollably sings her own innermost feelings. Ultimately she breaks into "Pressure" by Billy Joel when she is supposed to be presenting her timeline for a project to the CEO. Zoey and Joan assume they will both be fired as a result of her outburst, but the CEO is impressed by her "weirdness" and not only greenlights the project, but accepts her one year timeline.

Emily receives advice from Maggie about how to let her husband know that she wants to have sex again. Max receives a job offer from Ava Price on Floor 6, which he accepts with Zoey's approval. Zoey and Tobin talk to Abigail about her relationship with Howie and about a potential internship at SPRQ Point; ultimately Zoey helps convince Howie to let Abigail study abroad.

Zoey thinks that he is torturing her for not supporting him; Max retorts that he wants to focus on his own happiness now rather than everyone else's. Zoey then blows up at Howie for sedating her father so he could sleep better, the drawback being that he is less responsive, and to Zoey, is one less moment to bond with him. Following a dispute with Simon over his grief and a cathartic dance party orchestrated by Mo, both Simon and Zoey help each other to acknowledge their own griefs.

She goes to the airport with Mo to confess her feelings to Max, but retreats after hearing his heart song for Rose. Max surprises her by the Golden Bridge and says that he and Rose broke up at the airport since it is obvious that Max is still in love with Zoey. Zoey confesses her feelings to Max via a heart song, which he actually hears for the first time, much to their mutual astonishment.

26	"Zoey's Extraordinary Christmas"	Richard Shepard	Story by : Austin Winsberg and Sam Laybourne and Samantha McIntyre Teleplay by : Austin Winsberg	December 1, 2021 (2021-12-01)
Having shared Zoey's powers for two weeks, Max thinks using them to help people is easy. Zoey considers how to spend her first Christmas without her father. David and Maggie both plan vacations away from San Francisco, and Max is surprised that Zoey gives her blessing after singing a resentful heart song. Zoey's coworkers downplay their holiday plans, but a heart song reveals they are all thrilled to spend time with family. After Max suggests they also leave town, Zoey admits she wants to preserve Mitch's traditions at home instead, and she persuades her family to agree. When a heart song reveals Maggie's attraction to tree-lot owner Jack, Zoey discusses it with Maggie, who feels unready to date; but Max invites Jack to Christmas dinner. Maggie and Jack share a kiss under the mistletoe, shocking Zoey. After Jack accidentally breaks a snowglobe Mitch treasured, the family's sad heart song leaves Max in tears. A dream of Mitch tells Zoey that he will always be with her, even if she creates new holiday traditions and allows her life to change. Max apologizes for never considering the burden presented by Zoey's powers. She concludes that he received the powers in order to experience that empathy, and he suggests she got them so she would engage with the world. They share a heart song, but then Max becomes unable to hear it anymore; both are at peace with this. At Mitch's grave, Maggie decides to find herself before dating again. A law school rival's gloating Christmas newsletter irks David and Emily. They create a fake newsletter of their own to send in reply. After Zoey questions their motives, Emily is touched when David writes a letter authentically sharing the challenges of the previous year. They then agree to send the fake one. Simon visits his mother and new stepfather in Las Vegas, and gives Zoey a souvenir snowglobe. Perry encourages Mo to become involved in his children's lives. But after Mo makes himself the star of Amirah's holiday pageant, Perry explains that it was meant to be a chance for the children to shine. Mo gives Amirah the first performance slot at his "Christmas Carol-oke" event at MaxiMo's, which the Clarke family attends. Later on, Max apologizes to Zoey for not understanding the burden the powers put on Zoey. His newfound empathy results in his losing the powers, in response to which Zoey says that if he wants to know what she’s thinking or feeling, he can just ask her about it.
