We were in for some shocking confessions this week when 'Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist' returned on Sunday night for an all-new episode. 

It is already a known fact that fans ship Max and Zoey, now they have also added Mo and Eddy to the ship list. But amongst all the couples we've seen come and go over the past few weeks since 'Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist' premiered, one couple who fans refuse to ship or even want to see on screen together is Joan and Leif. 

Last week we got to know that Joan and her ex-husband's divorce had been finalized. She wanted to party with Zoey but ended up at Simon's engagement party. That's where she and Leif, Zoey's teammate, came up with the idea of 'Chirp', a piece of technology that would provide you with the information needed when your memory lapses. 

Kicking off right where they left off, back at the office the next day, Leif and Joan open up about their new project to the group. While everyone was shocked, Leif's bestfriend Tobin was hit the most because he felt left out as he belts out the lyrics to 'Don't Speak'. 

Meanwhile, Max confesses his love for Zoey in a huge food court flashmob to 'If I Can't Have You' by Shawn Mendes, that leads to Zoey telling Max about her super power. He did not believe her until Zoey revealed she knew about his feelings earlier. 

Stuck between wanting to help out Tobin and fixing her friendship with Max, Zoey finds herself back at work only to see Leif reveal his inner thoughts by performing 'I Put A Spell On You'. That's not the worst, by the end of the song, Joan and Leif shared a steamy kiss that has fans repelled, affirming again that they do not ship them as a couple. 

Taking to Twitter a fan wrote, "NOOOOOOOO I do not ship that. I’d rather have a thrupple btn Zoey Simon and Max before I ship it." Adding to that another said, "I have to admit I am not a fan. I would’ve liked to see Joan journey more by herself before going into another relationship." 

"Don’t get your honey where you get your money!" a fan shared. While another wrote," Loved the “spell on me” number—super talented guy. Not comfortable with the relationship piece though." 

"At first, not a fan, but on second thought, he’s 100% using her and she’s smart enough to know that so I don’t this becoming anything other than them both using each and not getting anything significant," a fan shared. 

Do you ship Leif and Joan? Let us know in the comments below.
