Prescription for Love

Morning, Claire.

Hey, Serena.

- Will you ever take this plastic off?

It's practical.

- It's been on so long it's starting to turn yellow.

No, it's not.

Whoops.

Careful, oh.

Now you see why it's good to have?

Relax.

- Why don't you sit at the counter with me?

Why?

The couch is just as easy to clean up.

How was school last night?

It's night school.

I mean, by the end of the day,

I'm not sure much sticks.

Well, then why bother?

Your dance career is good.

Not suitable enough,

according to my family.

How are things at the hospital?

Anything new?

Same.

Speaking of, I actually got to run.

I'm gonna be late.

- Don't forget about my performance tonight.

It starts at 7:00.

I'll be there.

Good morning, Mr. Samuelson.

These just came for you.

Gorgeous, aren't they?

- What are you people doing about the pain I'm in?

- The doctor is just waiting on the test results.

Which ones?

I've been poked a dozen times already.

I'll let you know as soon

as the doctor hears back from the lab.

In the meantime, you can enjoy these beautiful flowers.

I don't like them.

Out of my way.

I have to pee.

Careful.

An admirer, Claire?

They're Mr. Samuelson's.

He doesn't want them.

Older men, huh?

You know, you're not supposed to date the patients.

I'll take care of that.

Thanks, Jonathan.

No problem.

Has anyone heard from Maria?

Nope.

Isn't she supposed to be back

from maternity leave on Monday?

Hope so.

Do you think Maria--

Is really quitting?

Maybe the rumors are true.

You don't know that--

Are we talking to you?

- I'm gonna go make a trip down to HR.

You have time to chew.

- You know if I'm a minute late back from break,

Lena makes it a federal case.

- Did you just swallow that whole?

- I mean, it's bad enough that she and Whitney

do anything possible they can dump on me.

I didn't think that humans

could swallow something that big.

Humans are capable of a lot.

- Whoa, you got to spit that back out,

and then chew it again?

Who does that?

Cows.

I think you made my point.

Hey, you have to enjoy life every now and then.

I do.

So how's your shift going?

Oh, it's pretty quiet so far.

I envy you.

Have you tried bribery?

Maybe Lena will ease up then.

- No, she likes to keep me under her thumb.

Sometimes I think about quitting.

Sure, you didn't work hard

for that nursing degree anyway.

I'm just saying.

You'd miss the patients.

Better to just keep your chin up, alright?

Besides, Maria will be back soon, right?

- No, it feels like the same layout as last time,

so tell Mike he has to stop messing

with the concept of clean space.

Payton?

She's doing okay.

Poor girl is just so tired.

Yeah, okay, keep me posted.

Alright, bye.

Hi.

Hi.

Hey, we're just gonna check your vitals, okay?

Okay.

- So I heard your appendectomy went well.

- The surgeon said it was pretty messy.

- That's why we're gonna keep her

on some heavy antibiotics for a while.

Oh, it's Mike.

I got to take this.

I'll be right outside, okay?

Hello.

Uh huh.

Finally.

How are you feeling?

Lousy.

- Well, when the doctor took out your appendix,

he also had to take out the infection,

and then when the appendix burst,

the infection spread everywhere,

so it can be a little tricky.

Am I gonna be okay now?

- Yeah, in a few days you'll feel better,

but you just let me know how you're feeling, okay?

Okay, thanks.

Do you dance?

Oh, yeah.

My friend's a dancer.

I'm actually gonna see her dance tonight

at the Metropolitan Center.

Really?

I want to dance there someday.

- Well, then I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.

Okay.

There you are.

The patient in room 412 just threw up.

Oh, my shift is over,

and I have somewhere to be.

Wasn't that your patient?

So?

Unless you want a bad performance review on your file,

you'll go clean it up.

You're quite late.

I know.

Sorry.

Your seat's in the balcony.

You can take the elevator over there.

Smells good.

- Yeah, it's for the reception after the performance.

I hope I haven't missed much.

My friend's one of the dancers

and got me a ticket.

Whoa, hold up.

Please don't fall.

Please don't fall.

Please don't fall.

It just stopped.

It's no big deal.

- Well, why aren't the lights turning on?

- Maybe it's an electrical problem.

Is there an emergency phone?

Nope, just a button.

You guys, oh,

I think I'm gonna pass out.

No, no, no, here, sit down.

Okay.

Okay,

I can't breathe.

We're running out of air.

No, we're not.

Just breathe.

Are you claustrophobic?

No.

You sure?

No.

Just slow down.

Breathe in and out.

Again, it's okay.

It's okay.

Don't worry.

I'll get a hold of someone.

Again, it's okay.

Come on.

No signal.

Elevators.

Easy, easy.

Hello?

- We're gonna be trapped in here forever.

I doubt it.

Someone will come looking for us.

No, that's staying shut.

Well, it sounds like the performance is still going on.

Yeah, everyone's still inside.

- Let's see how long my battery lasts.

- Well, at least we won't go hungry.

- Middle one's worth 100 points, right?

Yep, okay, my turn.

Oh, 50 points.

What are you up to now?

410 to 320.

Sorry.
