Plotting using fimplicit and plot in the same figure

I copied my code below. The issue I am having is in the second figure. I want to plot two different curves/lines, one using fimplicit and the other using plot in the same figure. However, it only plots the fimplicit statement and seems to completely ignore the plot statement, despite the fact that it works fine in the first figure. I'm not sure what to do. I thought I was using hold on and hold off correctly. Any insights would be appreciated!

[t, y] = ode45(@(t,y) (t-exp(-t))/(y+exp(y)), [1.5 0], 0.5);
fprintf('\nWhen t = 0, y is approximately %d.\n', y(t == 0))
fprintf('When t = 1, y is approximately %d.\n', y(t < 1.02 & t > 0.98))
 
told = t;
yold = y;
 
[t, y] = ode45(@(t,y) (t-exp(-t))/(y+exp(y)), [1.5 2.1], 0.5);
fprintf('When t = 1.8, y is approximately %d.\n', y(t < 1.81 & t > 1.79))
fprintf('When t = 2.1, y is approximately %d.\n', y(t == 2.1))
 
t = [told t];
y = [yold y];
 
figure(1);
plot(t,y, 'r');
xlim([0 2.1]);
grid on
grid minor
hold off
 
syms z x
f(x, z) = 2*exp(z) + z^2 - 2*exp(-x) - x^2;
c = f(1.5, 0.5);
 
figure(2);
plot(t, y, 'rx');
hold on
fimplicit(f-c, [0, 2.1, -1, 2], 'b');
grid on
grid minor
hold off

Your code is correct. The two plots are so similar that you cannot see them as distinct curves unless you zoom in.
