Over at PPTH, Melinda isn't getting any better after her first electrophoresis session. "Why do these things keep happening to me?" she wonders. I can't vouch for the latest medical crisis, but I would have to say that maybe if you hadn't eaten that cookie and forgotten to bring your medicine for your deadly allergies along with you, you would have at least avoided the heart transplant, hmm? Dan watches from the other side of the glass, but Melinda doesn't want to see him. She just wants the Mommy that she claimed to hate so much.

Later, Foreman and Mom share a moment during which she makes it clear that she never wanted her daughter to be sick like this after all her efforts to keep her safe, a line that didn't make much sense except that it throws in a little Munchausen's-by-proxy red herring. Melinda loses control of her throat muscles and can no longer breathe. Chase and Foreman have to intubate.
