Cathy questions Nick about Rico and why he came to stay with Nick last year and suggests he was more of a father to Rico than an uncle. Nick reminds her that she's rapping on the wrong door with idea about marriage and kids. Martha catches Nick and Cathy kissing in the lab. A tired Maggie feels like she's in the bottom of a well and isn't engaged by Althea's concerns about Karen staying on at the Hospital and finding a new apartment. Hank suggests to Martha that Nick doesn't feel he's needed in the O.R. for neurosurgery. A dazed Maggie walks past Nick in the lounge and fails to hear him calling to her. Althea tells Nick that everything has been cleared up between her and John, and she also says that she intends to introduce John to her mother now that Edna has improved. After hearing that he's not needed in Greenville, Nick asks Cathy over for dinner, playfully suggesting that he has an idea how they can work up an appetite.
