Eli takes an atypical seat, right next to Jordan, although that could be because it's the first one of these meetings to which he hasn't been horribly late. Eli asks Jordan how he is, and the response is a terse "Things could be better." He then kicks off and tells them about their new client, to whom Tom Amandes refers as "the Mason Andrews," in case we were worried that Jordan normally hobnobs with people whose reputations don't precede them. Jordan says he needs a second chair, and every associate in the room's hand goes up -- except Eli's. And I know she's not necessary to the scene -- that kind of goes without saying -- but did these meetings suddenly become optional for Maggie? Does she actually work here? Jordan notes Eli's reticence, and Eli stammers that he wasn't sure...under the circumstances...Jordan: "I'm sure Mr. Andrews would be well served by such...eloquence." Hee. Eli's eyes then go wide as he sees the guy from his vision sitting in Tom Amandes's chair, although he speaks with Tom Amandes's voice as he asks what the heck is up with Eli now. Matt has also been replaced by the guy, and Matt's voice snarks about how he needs to start bringing a camera to these meetings. I think Berlanti Television has you covered, dude. Eli lamely says something about bad sushi and leaves the meeting, to Jordan's continuing chagrin...
...and then he's shown up to bother his brother for some medication, notwithstanding the fact that Nate's with a patient. Nate slams the door in his face, but Eli barges in after him, prompting Nate to apologize to "Jake McCann," his patient -- who just so happens to be the guy from Eli's visions. Eli, after gaping for a moment, recovers and introduces himself, which is an improvement on passing out cold, although perhaps not from George Michael's perspective. Title card.
Out on the street, Eli has apparently been badgering Nate with questions about Jake, and Nate wants to know why, especially since he just woke up from a coma. That gets Eli's attention -- "Jake McCann is Coma Guy! You're treating Coma Guy!" Apparently the guy appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which seems like kind of a gyp, especially since the guy's hard-luck story seems like the sort of thing Oprah wouldn't wait to get her hands on. At least he didn't have to talk to Tyra, though. Nate goes on that Jake doesn't need a lawyer, as his coma came about when he fell off his roof while cleaning his gutters. Eli begs Nate to ask Jake if he has any legal problems, and if not, he'll leave him alone. Nate: "If this ends up in a malpractice suit, I'm going to kill you, tool." I'd get on that -- there's a line forming.
