That's the question, which means at some point we're gonna have to hear the answer. Despite seeing Zoey's arc of choices from beginning to end, we don't actually know what her motivations are in the story at this point. We can only deduce with meta knowledge that Zoey is back to reconnect with the MC, because it's a game that revolves around the MC. In the actual narrative, we don't know how she really feels about the MC or how she's doing to resolve that and move on with her life, which again is something we're going to have to see, otherwise the hour-long mandatory viewing of her life story is going to be very out of place once the game completes. It's the same thing with Maya's story, we're forced to be at least peripherally involved in her drama with her dad, which means we're gonna have to see the resolution of that arc whether we like it or not, otherwise it turns into a pointless narrative loose end and a waste of time.As for Zoey being a bitch, the whole point of the Interlude is that she ignored what she had in search of greener grass. She felt like she needed to prove herself to her grandmother and had a pile of money burning a hole in her pocket. Waiting for the MC (when she didn't even realize how much he meant to her) was the adult move, but Zoey was still young and naive.
I'd say the real question is what Zoey learned from her time in San Diego, but we'll have to wait until at least Episode 9 to learn that.
So yeah, look forward to more forced drama with the MC finding out Zoey never thought they were together and had no boyfriend and Zoey being like oh nooo I didn't know you liked me somehow haha and then you either bang her or reject her like the ep 8 finale Super exciting.
