The wife is waiting for Nick when he gets out of surgery. Foreman removes the breathing tube, and, sure enough, Nick can breathe on his own. He made it out of the surgery just fine despite what Kumar and Foreman told him. He introduces himself as "Nick Greenwald, former SOB." Everyone is happy. Nick says he's ready to go back to his beautiful life with his beautiful wife. Hopefully, she'll stop whining and give him a break since he almost died to get his tact back. Whoops! Foreman doesn't understand -- they removed the damage, so Nick's disinhibition should be gone. Taub says whatever caused the damage in the first place must still be there. Guess it wasn't the Rottweiler after all! Then why did it get better after the antibiotics? Meanwhile, Nick's body temperature is dropping. He's still not as cold as his wife, though, who takes this opportunity to get all pissy and ask Nick what he really thinks about her and her line of work. And since she asked for it, she gets it. Nick says people who publicize important things are people who can't do important things themselves. Wife cries. Whatever, Wife. He also said you were beautiful. Stop focusing on the negative. She asks Nick if he regrets marrying her. "Sometimes," he says. She asks if he loves her. He immediately says he does. That's not good enough for Wife, who starts walking away. Nick's heart goes all wonky, and Wife leaves without knowing if he'll survive or not. She sucks. I'd regret marrying her all the time.
