Kirsten is in her office and her boss comes in and asks if she told that mom from earlier to pull her daughter out of the study. Kirsten says she supported her decision, and the boss is mad she didn't discuss it with him first. Kirsten says she was making the best decision for the girl, not the study. Kirsten gets all fired up and says she made the right decision and he knows it. The boss asks what's wrong with her since they've had patients like this girl before and it didn't bother her so much. Kirsten says Lizzie is different. The boss says Kirsten has been acting different. She fought with the prescribing M.D., she's been calling in sick, and now this. He wants to know what's happening. Kirsten just sits down and starts crying into her hand. I really should keep track of the average crying jags per episode on this show. Some bottled water company should advertise on this show. I can see it now: "Poland Springs, when you need to re-hydrate yourself because you've been crying like a Salinger all day."
Bailey is back at the rehab center for an appointment with the counselor. Oliver comes up and sits down next to him, asking what he's doing there. Then Oliver spies a nurse getting a trayful of meds and says, "That's nice." The nurse turns the corner and goes up some stairs. Oliver gets up and walks after the nurse, and then we hear a commotion from the stairway, and the nurse cries, "Orderly! I need help!" Bailey gets up and runs after Oliver, who has snatched the bottle of pills and is snarling at Bailey to stay out of it. Oliver's all "Man, Interrupted" and trying to pry the lid off the bottle with his teeth. Bailey bum rushes him as two orderlies come and pull Oliver away. Oliver calls Bailey a "Boy Scout" as he is being hustled away.
Julia opens her hotel room door to discover Adam there. He walks into the room and tells her that he hasn't been honest with her. He says he can't touch what she and Justin have, because that's a lifetime of knowing each other, and loving each other. Then he launches into a rip-off of the final scene of "When Harry Met Sally." You know, the scene where Harry tells Sally, "I love that after spending a day with you, my coat smells like your perfume" and "I love that little line you get on your forehead when you're looking at me like I'm crazy." Anyway, Adam rips that off and then apologizes for dumping this on Julia now, but he wants her to be free with him, whatever that means. Then there's a knock at the door, and Julia says that it's Claudia. Julia opens the door, but it's Justin! Surprise! Like we didn't all see that one coming a mile away? Justin asks if it's a bad time and Adam says he was just leaving. Justin walks into the room as Adam walks out and Julia stands in the doorway looking back and forth between the two men, like "Oh, how will I decide among the many men who are in love with me, Julia Salinger. I inspire men to poetry and to leaving their girlfriends, and to driving to Vegas just to see my lovely, lovely face. I am Julia Salinger, queen of the world." Well, that's just my interpretation.
