Tate, after years of alcohol-fuelled partying is sober and ready for a comeback. He is in top form at Scarlett&rsquo;s party and blows the audience away with his performance&mdash;though Scarlett herself still isn&rsquo;t impressed. But an encounter ends in a kiss that surprises them both&mdash;and immediately goes viral.
