Liz cools Jody with the excuse that Carolee will be home soon and wants time alone with Steve. Nick attempts to take control of the conversation at dinner but is interrupted. Althea invites Nick to her hospital room. When Steve is confused by Carolee's accusation of being insensitive, she explains that he's on the rebound and she's on the bound. Althea suggests that Nick be himself instead of the man he thinks she wants to him to be. But when he shows her who he is, there's an awkward silence between them.
