Neela is walking around in the ER naked and chatting with Sam and Morris about
her rotation being over. As they talk, we see different elements of her
thoughts in her surroundings, such as models being photographed in an exam
room after she mentions that she is going to catch of with repeats of "Project
Runway" when the cable guy comes to fix her cable after it being out for three
weeks. Harold walks up and talks with her and then Neela walks outside
singing a song. She then looks up and it starts to rain. We hear a
voice calling for her and Neela wakes up as she is taking a shower in the
locker room at the hospital. Dr. Dubenko is the one calling her name.
He tells her that there was a mix-up and that her shift in General Surgery
started fifteen minutes ago. She is disappointed about it.
Gates and Chloe are spending time with Chloe's
grandparents. Tony and Becky Riley are discussing how well Chloe is
doing as they watch Chloe and her grandfather play air hockey. Chloe
beats him and he is out of breath. He does not look well.
Pratt is in a Management Seminar Workshop doing a
role-playing exercise with two guys. Pratt does not seem to be doing
well trying to control the two in their argument. We then see how Pratt
handles Frank and Morris arguing about Morris eating a sandwich in the work
area. Frank takes the sandwich from Morris and throws it out. Sam
walks up and talks to Pratt about a patient named Mr. Yanai who was kicked out
of his band because of his blood pressure medication is making him tone deaf.
Pratt has never heard of that. Sam receives a bouquet of a dozen roses
and Morris wants to know who they are from. Sam will not tell him, she
says that they are from a female patient that she had helped earlier.
Neela walks up and asks Frank what the date is. He tells her April 17th
and asks if she has done her taxes yet. He then shows her a picture of
Abby, Luka and Joe over in Croatia. Frank tells her that she needs to
get one of those and she asks, which a husband or a baby? Morris and
Harold walk up with a patient on a gurney named Sheryl Hawkins. She had
been in a car accident and the car rolled three times. Harold is trying
to talk Neela into eating in the cafeteria with him.
The paramedics have arrived and they are checking on Hank
Riley. He hit his head and has a laceration. Tony tells him that
he has to go to the hospital, but he does not want to. He says it is
because he skipped breakfast and it caused him to faint. They discuss if
he is going to go in or not.
Sam and Pratt walk outside as they are waiting on a
paramedic run. Sam asks him if he has ever sent a woman roses and they
discuss it. Pratt sees Bettina and goes to speak with her. He
tells her that he has been leaving a lot of messages, but never returns his
calls. She tells him that she has been busy. He asks if she would
like to go grab some coffee later, but she tells him she is sorry and has to
go and then walks away.
Neela, Harold and Morris are working on Sheryl Hawkins.
She is really dizzy as she tells them that she is a freshman in college and
has four kids. As she is speaking she begins to faint. Neela
suspects that she may have something wrong with her aorta, but Morris thinks
that Neela is hallucinating from the long hours that she has been working.
Harold follows Neela out of the exam room and mentions grabbing a coffee.
He leans over like he is trying to kiss her, but she pulls back. He
tells her that he was just trying to smell her breath to see what might be
missing from her diet. She walks away and tells him to quit hitting on
her. Sam gets her for a trauma consult.
The consult is on Sarah's grandfather, Hank. Tony,
Sarah and her grandmother are together. Morris is checking him out.
Sarah sees Neela and Neela flashes back to the time when she was trying to
save Sarah's mom's life after her overdose in Season 13's "Murmurs of the
Heart". During that scene, Sarah is mad at Neela for not doing anything
to save her and Tony had quit performing CPR on her mom Meg.

Neela and Morris continue working on Hank as Tony, Sarah
and Becky watch on. Lily comes to get Neela for her other patient.
Neela tells Becky that the head trauma was minor and that the problem is
cardiac. Hank wants to get some medicine and go home, but Morris tells
him that he needs to stay for a day or two to make sure he didn't have a heart
attack. Tony sees that Sarah is concerned and tells her that her
grandfather will be okay. Tony asks Sam if she received her special
delivery and she tells him yes and thanks him.
Pratt is working on Mr. Senula, who seems to have some head
trauma. He has a fractured radius and ulna. Sam points out from
the x-ray that he has a Humeral head also. It looks like he has been
beaten several times during the past. Frank hands Pratt a piece of paper
for Pratt to sign. He tells Dr. Pratt that he is filing a grievance on
Dr. Morris and his aftershave. Frank tells Pratt that Dr. Brenner's
connecting flight had been cancelled and that he will not be in until tonight.
Sam goes out to talk to Mr. Senula's son Nick. Pratt follows her.
They find out that it is only the two of them and an aunt, but the boy does
not remember the aunt's number. They tell Nick that his father is
showing symptoms of violence, but Nick tells them that he does not know of
anyone that is hurting his father. Nick seems to be aggravated by their
questioning and tells them that his father's arms are all busted and he
doesn't know how it happened. As he walks to go see his father, Sam and
Pratt realize that they never mentioned that his arms had been hurt.
Hanks condition has worsen. He has a lot of belly
pain. Morris works on him and Tony helps. He is in a lot of pain.
Neela is wheeling Sheryl in to surgery. Sheryl is on
a cell phone speaking to her five-year-old daughter Lucy. Sheryl thanks
Neela for letting her speak with her. Dubenko and Harold are scrubbing
in and Dubenko tells Neela to scrub in and that she can be first assistant.
She tells him that she has been awake for like thirty hours. "I'll let
you to the aortic repair yourself.", he tells her. Harold tells her that
she has to do it. It will be a great way to spend their last case
together. He is going to Pedes ICU, which surprises Neela, because she
thought he would be going to Pedes surgery. She tells him that he only
has five years and needs to take advantage of it. He does not need to be
doing a non-surgical rotation she tells him. "You need to make every
month count".
Morris is still aggravated with Frank. He thinks
Frank is hiding his food from him. He tapes Franks desk and posts signs
that say "Frank Sucks". Sam is talking with Nick about his dad and
accuses him of hurting his dad. He gets mad and storms off. Pratt
gets on to her and she talks back to him.

Pratt goes outside and speaks with Nick. Nick
tells him that his dad has been falling a lot lately.
He tells Pratt that his father was in a car accident a
few years ago and that he ended up having to stay with a
foster family. He is the one that called 911, but
he disguised his voice to make himself sound older.
There really isn't an aunt for him to stay with.
He was afraid that he would have to stay with a foster
family again and did not want to have to go through
that. Pratt starts to think about why Nick's
father is falling a lot and wants to go check some
things out.
Morris brings Hank back down from
radiology. His condition has worsen and he has
been tubed. Beck Riley is concerned and wants to
know what needs to be done. Morris wants surgery,
but Gates doesn't. Mrs. Riley get upset with Tony
and tells him to stop contradicting Morris. He has
a big clot and it needs to be broken up. The blood
flow needs to be restored to his bowels. Tony
wants to use a clot busting medication to unblock the
clot without surgery. Morris wants them to page
Neela for a consult.
Dubenko, Neela and Harold wheel
Sheryl out from surgery. Dubenko walks away and
Neela starts talking to Harold about leaving surgery.
Harold tells her that he does not want to be a surgeon
and she thinks it is Dubenko trying to "squeeze him
out". He tells her that Dubenko has been very
supported of his decision. She still does not
listen and continues to state that she will take care of
it and she gets into the elevator to go down to the ER
for a consult.
Sam and Tony speak about what is
going on with Hank. She tells him that he does not
know how to talk with women, but she can teach him.
They go back into the exam room where Neela is speaking
with Mrs. Riley. She tells her that surgery is the
best option, but Tony and Sam speak up about other
options. Morris and Neela say that they will
lose valuable time if they try the other options and
Tony disagrees. Beck yells out for Tony to stop
it! He always has to be right, she tells him.
Nick walks up to Pratt and asks about
his dad. Pratt tells Nick that his dad is not
getting enough calcium because of his hormones causing
too much calcium in his blood. It is making his
bones brittle and causes them to break easily. He
will need to have surgery to correct this and will need
to be in the hospital for about a week. Nick is
concerned about having to go to a foster family, but
Pratt tells him that as long as he comes and visits his
father everyday and checks in with him, that Nick can
stay alone until his dad returns home. Nick thanks
him.
Pratt sees Gates and asks about Hank.
Tony tells him that it can be better. Neela walks
up and talks to Tony about Julia leaving. Neela
can't believe that he has moved on t Sam now. She
tells him that he needs to be more concerned about
taking care of Sarah and that having another woman in
his bed every week is not helping.
Neela gives Mrs. Riley the surgical
consent forms. Mrs. Riley is not sure what to do.
She reads the forms and sees what can happen to him if
he has surgery. She tells Tony that maybe he was
right. Maybe doing the TPA to unblock the clot
will be better and then Hank won't need the surgery.
Tony tells her that Dr. Rasgotra is an excellent surgeon
and that he thinks surgery is the best option.
Mrs. Riley nods her head in agreement.

Dubenko and Neela perform surgery on Hank as the Riley's
and Tony watch on from the viewing room. Neela is
not doing so well.
Pratt and Nick walk as they wheel his dad up to his
room. The father seems to be happy that Pratt
worked things out with his son. Pratt and Sam
speak about what happened and she is glad that it all
worked out. He tells her that he has been taking a
conflict management course and she laughs and says that
he has a long way to go. Morris and Frank get into
it again. Frank calls Morris a "garden gnome".
Pratt tries to use some of his new methods. Frank
tells him that it is because Archie had a party and did
not invite him. Archie begins to speak with Frank
and Frank tells him that he may not like sushi and
karaoke, but he could have grabbed a burger before he
came and then watched him do karaoke. They
hug and make up as Pratt watches on in amazement that
his methods worked.
Neela and Harold finally get to have a talk. He
tells her again that it was his decision not to continue
in surgery. He wants to have a life. He does
not want to end up being alone because he would never
have time to form relationships if he continued the
course of being a surgeon. He tells her that it is
not her, but it is him. and walks away.
Pratt has stepped out to get a coffee or something and
sees Bettina sitting with a man talking. Pratt
walks over and Bettina introduces him to Grant Hayward
from Oncology. Pratt is trying to chime in to
their conversation about what is going on at the
hospital, but Bettina tells him that they are not
talking about work, but about her.
Tony sees Sam walking out with her dozen roses.
She tells him that they are beautiful, but kind of
embarrassing. Morris walks up and tells Sam that
he has figured it out. She has been sending the
flowers to herself. She agrees and walks away and
then Archie turns around and sees that she is with
Gates.
Neela and Dubenko have a chat in the lounge. Neela
tells him that her college roommate is having another
baby shower. She has turned down dates so that she
can sleep. She tells him that she has been dumped
by a nineteen-year-old intern. He tells her to go
home, she is tired. She tells him that today
is her thirty-first birthday. He apologizes for
not realizing it. He gives her an old muffin.
She tells him that she fell asleep in the shower this
morning and realizes that she has been going on like
things are going okay, when they are not. He then
walks her around the recovery rooms to show what a great
surgeon she is. If it were not for her skills,
these people's lives would not be the same. "You
have a gift Neela. The minute you start comparing
yourself to others is the minute you forget that you're
doing exactly what you are meant to do." He tells
her to go home, her shift ended fifteen minutes ago.
She walks away and Sarah comes up and thanks her.
Bettina and Pratt talk. She tells Pratt that she
has colon problems. She has colon cancer and that
is why she was speaking with the guy from oncology.
She tells him that he wasn't 100% committed to their
relationship and that she ended the relationship because
she did not think that he could handle what is going to
happen with her. She does not need his pity.
He doesn't want her to go through it alone. It is
not his problem. "I'm letting you off the hook",
she tells him.
Tony tells Mrs. Riley that Hank will be in the hospital
for a week and that he and Sarah would like to have her
stay with them. She thanks him for what he has
done for her husband and apologizes for how she has
treated him. She tells him that he has come a long
way from the messed up vet coming from the war and
dating her daughter. She then thanks Dr. Rasgotra.
Tony and Neela talk and she apologizes for what she said
about him dating Sam. She is sleep deprived.
He tells her Happy Birthday. She is surprised that
he remembered. Neela answers her cell phone.
It is the cable company telling her that she missed her
appointment and that it will be three weeks before they
can come out again. "Look, I'm a doctor and I'm
single. All I have is "Project Runway".
"Hello? Hello?"
