His arm may be good as new but Jared’s jacket, not so much. Elena will take care of the coat – now what brought you here? Jared tells the story of being ambushed when he was closing his grandfather’s shop. Two guys barged in and started stealing everything. He cut his arm when they shoved him into a security gate. Jared needs to get home – his grandfather has diabetes. Stop by the hospital for a tetanus shot tomorrow, Elena insists. Agreeing, Jared really has to go. We’re not going to see that kid again, Elena says knowingly. Devon then runs out after him.
Reclining on the bed with a safe distance between them, Billy attempts a deep discussion about feelings and a fresh start to their relationship. Amanda’s too tired but invites Billy to stay on the couch (which he wastes no time trying to get comfy on)
Back in the living-room, Chloe and Kevin are aghast to find Mike and Lauren cuddling beneath a blanket in front of the fire. I meant enjoy the fire – not *enjoy* the fire, Kevin looks ill.
Devon comes back to say that he followed Jared to make sure he got home safely. He also checked the shop (it’s locked up safely) Elena hopes he comes to the hospital tomorrow. If not i’ll got to him and check his grandfather too. Devon will get a space heater, Nate will pick up a new coat. All conclude that this is the perfect place for their clinic. A passionate Elena wants to help the thousands of Jared’s’ out there who need us. Let’s start planning tonight.
Back at Sharon’s, Mariah and Faith talk about coping mechanisms over hot chocolate and brownies. Mariah lashes out and pushes away people who don’t deserve it. If you ever feel you’re on the brink, I’m your girl, she tells Faith – what are sisters for?
When a sick looking (and silent) Sharon makes her way down the stairs, Mariah and Faith jump up to help her over to the couch.
I told you two to get a room – there’s a half dozen up there to choose from! Kevin scolds. Lauren’s wrapped in a blanket and Mike’s putting his shirt on as Kevin and Chloe conclude their lecture – nighty night kids. Best storm ever!! Mike and Lauren are left to cuddle.
Devon’s thinking about Jared – and the baby he would have had. It’s amazing that you can miss someone you never met. Yes, Elena thinks he’d be a good Dad.
Sharon’s freezing, nauseated and terrified she’ll be too sick to go to chemo tomorrow. Yes, it’s making her sick but it’s also shrinking the tumour. We need to get someone from my care team. Of we can’t, it’s off to the ER.
When Amanda awakens from a nightmare screaming, Billy runs over and settles her back in. I can stay here, it’s up to you. Getting no objection, he gets into bed (both fully clothed)
