Lea meets Shaun at the cafeteria and awkwardly she was telling him she was boosting her own morale. Shaun says but they have satisfying sex -- is this because they didn't have sex in 9 days? Lea hasn't been counting but it was a stressful few months. Shaun wonders why she didn't want to have sex with him. Lea said it wasn't that, she just woke up and wanted to take the edge off. Shaun asks if it's the same as when they are together. Lea says it's not as good but it's faster. She says it's not a substitute for being with him. He was busy when she wanted to have sex.

Jordan's patient is hiding in the toilet because she's scared. She had a date that will now have to wait and she's a 45-year-old virgin. She thinks maybe she didn't have sex because of her obsession with Jane Austen. Jordan tells her she doesn't have to be ashamed. The woman tells her that she has a date with an old friend named Victor. He was honored to go out with her. She's afraid she may never have sex and doesn't want to have surgery before she does.

Shaun tells Glassman about his problem with Lea. He wants to know Glassman's sex life secrets. Glassman tells him something about a car he tried to drive and was hitting the brake and accelerator at the same time. Sex is the same. A nurse interrupts to complain about the nursing schedule. Glassman tells her to try Andrews and gets back to the conversation. Another nurse interrupts with an issue. Apparently Andrews is too busy to take care of anything.

Jordan has got flowers and some painkillers for her patient. Her patient remembers her mom trying to talk to her about sex when she was young. Why is she so scared now? Jordan says it's special because it makes you vulnerable.

Shaun gives Lea a massage and offers her a chocolate. Lea falls asleep while he is getting her the chocolate.

Asher watches a slideshow of Tori's photos while he examines her. She wanted to show that undocumented people are not all sad cases. She doesn't want Asher to bother trying to call Isaac. If he can't support her, she doesn't want him here. Asher tells her the story of how he told a boy in his Yeshiva he was gay and he became his first boyfriend. His boyfriend pushed him to come out and his dad lost it. Micah never even told his parents, so Asher stopped talking to him. He goes on and on about how he missed Micah and realizes now he must have been scared. Tori crashes. She has a collapsed lung.

Lim and her team are finishing up with Tori but the nurse tells Lim that Tori's kidneys are failing. They need to clear the fungus before they can operate on her kidneys.

Victor arrives. Shaun gives him the chocolates minus the one he ate to give to Brenda so that he won't waste time in the gift shop. Victor comes in and Brenda hopes this isn't too strange. Jordan goes out to guard the door. Shaun says not to be too loud. Left alone in the room, Brenda and Victor look at each other.

Andrews refuses to be on the team. Glassman says that Andrews is not well liked lately and is not being a good boss. He needs to show he's on the staff's team and maybe then they will also stop bothering him.

Shaun hides behind a door and Lea accidentally opens it on him.

Lea suggested a planned surprise. Shaun says that Jordan recommended a schedule. Lea thinks that is a buzzkill. Shaun goes to check if Victor is finished.

Meanwhile Tori is throwing up. Isaac turns up after all. He says she lied to him and he doesn't know what's going on anymore. Tori admits she should have told Isaac the truth. She hopes he understands why she didn't. Crying causes her to have a seizure.
