At some point in late 2392, Blake's sonic shower is victim to a power surge caused by raiders the ''Veritas'' had tractored. Due to a lack of resources available to replicate new parts, Blake instead made use of Zhou's shower until the ''Veritas'' docked with another vessel willing to trade for parts they needed.

Zhou is said to have encouraged Blake to take the position aboard the {{USS|Syracuse}} to assist with the Orion Syndicate investigations, claiming that "it'll be fun!" and "it's just the [[Menthar Corridor]]". He rejoins her when the ''Veritas'' has shore leave outside of the Shoals for the first time in months, buying her a drink on [[Astrofori One]] to celebrate the one year anniversary of her re-joining Starfleet. Among other topics (such as Blake having a [[Sky Blake (hologram)|holographic persona]]]), Zhou suggests that they remain for the [[Khitomer Centennial]] and assist with the {{USS|Venture}}. Blake acts as the old vessel's XO during this period.

Facing the Doomsday Machine, Blake expresses to Zhou her concern about being trapped in the 2200s and having to avoid impacting the timeline, to which he encourages her to keep focus on the task at hand. In the aftermath of the mission aboard the ''Venture'', Zhou sends Blake home to the Delos system on a few months leave to spend time with her children.

In 2394, Zhou accompanies Blake's son, [[Ayden Blake]], to the ''Veritas'' and remains aboard during the [[The Irresistible Prize (Veritas)|the ''Astraeus'' incident]]. With the {{USS|Astraeus}} towed back to [[Star Station Esperance]], Blake and Zhou arrest Victor Yeager, the vessel's commanding officer.

Blake's relationship with Zhou borders on "friendship" and "casual sex" - the two work well professionally, but off duty, the two were near inseparable, sometimes to a point of fault on Blake's part. Blake formed an attachment to Zhou and the sense of safety he provides, and found it difficult to operate without him on the ''Veritas''. She especially finds it difficult to move into the XO's office - devoid of Zhou's belongings at the time of their reassignment, Blake felt uncomfortable moving her things into the newly empty space, and struggles to adjust to what used to be his position. This is perhaps one of the reasons she ultimately made the decision to relinquish the position and become a ranger. Though flippant by nature, Zhou is a voice of reason for the once volatile Blake, having stepped in on occasion to talk some sense into inexperienced Blake when the ''Veritas'' faced complex scenarios during their early days. They swap roles in this aspect in the aftermath of Carrero's passing, and have seemingly shed the "mentor/mentee" relationship since then, standing on equal ground on most matters following Zhou's reassignment to Star Station Esperance.
[[Tasnim Shandres]] delivers Blake a message sent by Zhou, where he offers her the XO's position aboard the {{USS|Montreal}} - of which she immediately agrees to. They reunite in late 2395 when the ''Montreal'' rendezvous with the ''Veritas'' at [[Havley's Hope]], though Zhou is injured when his newly assigned vessel was attacked by [[Tholian]]s. Though she expresses frustration that Zhou was injured because he chose not to remain aboard the Bridge of the ''Montreal'', she is genuinely concerned for the wellbeing of her friend. However, that concern is overshadowed by further frustration when Zhou asks her to bring [[Roshanara Rahman]] and [[Evan Delano]] down to Sickbay to discuss prioritizing matters, confirming that Zhou is no longer in command of the vessel - thus her transfer to serve him is null and void. Later, when he arrives in a hover chair to assist her with anti-sabotage efforts, she merely questions whether he is technically meant to be out of Sickbay once before dropping the matter entirely and relying on his expertise of the ''Veritas''.  


Due to Blake's easy-going nature regarding flirtation and comfort in her own skin, no topic (or action) seems off limits between them - they often tease each other for various things, sometimes to the point of immaturity. Their relationship is also incredibly physical, the two comfortable with casual and intimate contact - though this sometimes extends to scrapes and bruises (much to the confusion of their chief medical officer at the time). It's this part of her relationship that actually caused her serious physical injury, as continued use of her electrical abilities actually began to burn her arms from the inside, though it's unclear if she'd ever made him aware of this.

Despite her attachment to Zhou, Blake is not ready for a committed relationship, comfortable in retaining a friendship with Zhou more than pursuing anything romantic. To that end, she's surprisingly comfortable in "seeing" other people.
