Hospitalized for an EEG and other brain tests, Maggie asks Dr. Hendryx what could be wrong with her if she doesn't have a brain tumor. John speculates to Matt that Maggie isn't showing symptoms of psychiatric neuroses; however, he agrees that something is clearly wrong with her. Karen drops by Maggie's hospital room to gush about having Matt's help in her selection of a used car. Later, Matt walks out when Maggie says sarcastically that she doesn't need his help. Nick and John meet in the staff lounge. Nick discusses his plan to eliminate any future strife between them all. After he leaves, John says to himself that there won't be any strife unless Nick asks for it. Maggie becomes unhinged by a ticking clock, which seems to grow louder. When she reaches for a carafe of water, she accidentally knocks it off the table. Her screams bring Nurse Duncan running, but when Maggie insists she heard the carafe shatter, Nurse Duncan shows her that it's solid plastic and still intact. Dr. Hendryx enters and doesn't comfort Maggie with his joke that she's too young for dementia.
