Though Hartley previously told PEOPLE that he likes “the fact that Colter doesn’t have a girlfriend," a possible enemies-to-lovers romance with Billie might be in his character’s future based on the trailer.

“Aren’t you mister popular,” Billie says in the clip while she walks up to a bar where Colter is seated.

The two can then be seen dancing briefly before Rene says in a voice-over, “Notice I didn’t ask about you and Billie,” to which Colter answers, “Can we just focus on the work?”

Last season, Pernas, 34, guest starred on the show’s sixth episode, titled “Lexington," introducing viewers to her character and the will-they-won’t-they dynamic between Billie and Colter.

Colter even asked Billie out to dinner — an idea she, herself, had pitched earlier in the episode — but Billie shockingly declined.
