Lily peeks in on Dr. Ben in order to thank him for lying on Mateo's behalf. She starts to make Mateo's case as a good guy, but Ben's heard all the stories before. He wasn't lying for Mateo, he was lying for Lily. Because of looooove or something.
Ben then goes to check on Ryan, who's rocking some oxygen tubes but otherwise looking pretty okay. He tells her he checked the diving charts -- she wasn't deep enough to get the bends. He wants to give her an EKG and a chest x-ray, but she begs off for now. She smirks that he can stay if he wants to sing her a lullaby, otherwise, she's going to sleep. She turns over on her side, and we can see the cheerful attitude is just a front.
Nick is checking out, to leave Shannon to be with her mother, who is on her way. Before he can go, though, Plastics wheels Shannon in, and she's miraculously not a bitch anymore. She uncovers ol' stumpy to show her dad -- to let him share in this with her and be her dad. He apologizes, and she says it's not her fault. She looks at her leg again; "It's really gone, huh?" Nick steps forward, kneels down, and takes her hand. Hanging back, Plastics whispers to Mina that Nick probably should have been the one to come to Shannon, what with him having double the number of working legs. Mina tells him that for Nick, this being here for Shannon and holding her hand, this is huge. Plastics is being too hard, Mina's being too lenient. Let's all just agree that Nick has a terrible haircut, huh?
Zee bids Angus adieu. He gives her one last lustful look, then tells her if she ever wanted to grab onto him and beg him not to leave, now would be the time. She tells him to go. There's no telling if they'd even be good together anyway. Angus puts his face good and close to hers: "I think we'd do just fine." They arch towards a kiss for a billion years before she awkwardly puts her hand on the back of her neck, breaking the spell. I'll say this: I have never given a second thought to Valerie Cruz as an actress, but she's made me a believer more than a couple times on this show so far. She watches Angus's taxi take him away.
