Predicted intent not reflected in stories

I am having trouble understanding how to train the model to reflect my desired cases from the stories I have created. I would like to create two initial stories:

  1. User begins with “hello” intent, then commence a prompt for form filling (form called “count_episode”
  2. User begins by immediately stating the answer to the first intent in the form (vehicleCount).

I have two stories so far, neither of which suggests that a particular intent should ever be called (inform_zipCode). Despite this, when I try to test my bot by typing a particular number as an initial response to my bot with the hopes of eliciting the story #2 described above, the intent inform_zipCode keeps being predicted. Both inform_vehicleCount and inform_zipCode intents are heavily trained to identify number entities, however, inform_zipCode isn’t ever reflected in my stories at all.

Does anyone know how I can modify my stories file to elicit the desired behavior I described above? The docs are not informative, and I also can’t figure out how to launch interactive mode to create new stories. I’m attaching my files that are relevant below:
