Nick works in his office late at night. He looks over his shoulder to see if there's anyone around, and then pops over to an online poker site. He hesitates for a moment before joining the table.
Egan asks Jeremy where the other guys went. Jeremy slurs that one guy went to puke, and the other has been gone for a while. Jeremy then blurts out that Lizzie is pregnant. Egan congratulates him. Jeremy says that he wants to do the right thing, but he doesn't think Lizzie will let him. Egan saw that they were in love when they entered the bank, so he's sure it will all work out. Jeremy isn't so sure. Franny walks up and flirts some more while delivering another Scotch. She leaves to get Egan another drink and Egan notices Jeremy watching her walk away before commenting, "Oh! That's gotta make things confusing."
Lizzie sits at her desk, which is conveniently close to Randall's ward. Her pager goes off, and when she calls, she's informed that Lucas is calling from jail. She accepts the call. Lucas wants to know, when they discussed trying to convince Randall to live, who took which position. Lizzie says that Nick and Egan thought Randall should die, Malcolm abstained, and Jeremy thought they should try to save him. Lucas is surprised about Jeremy, and Lizzie admits that she is too. Lizzie adds that she, Kathryn, and Franny all want Randall at the trial. Interesting that all of the women wanted to face Randall in court. I don't know what it means, but it's interesting. Lucas asks about Franny, and Lizzie snaps that her sister is dead. Lucas asks what Felicia wanted, and Lizzie says that Felicia couldn't vote because she doesn't remember anything. Lucas didn't know that. He didn't? I thought he did. Lucas sighs that this whole thing really messed everyone up. Lizzie tells him that's why they need to face Randall in court. Lucas just pinches the bridge of his nose real hard.
Lucas is led into the hospital, hands and legs cuffed. As he walks, he flashes back to Randall holding a gun to his head in the bank. Lucas enters Randall's room and the guard helps him to sit down near the bed. It actually cracks me up because the guard places a chair near the bed and starts to help Lucas walk closer, but Lucas kind of shrugs him off, so the guard makes this "okay, man, just trying to help" gesture. I bet the actor playing the guard called his parents and told them to watch for his big moment in this scene, and that was it. Anyway, Randall wakes up and asks if Lucas is there to give him his last rites, and then sarcastically says, "I got so much to live for." Lucas says that they still have each other, and Randall asks if they really do. Lucas glances at the guard and says that, at the end, they hadn't slept in two days, and things got out of hand. Randall says that he almost killed his brother, and Lucas almost chuckles and says that he got lucky. Randall asks if their mother has been to visit him, and Lucas lies and says no. Lucas brings up how they used to pretend that they were the Wonder Twins when they were kids, and how one time Lucas hurt his ankle and they put their fists together, and Lucas got the strength to walk home. Randall responds by calling his brother a pansy. Lucas swallows his pride and says that he's going to donate a piece of his liver, and it means that he could die during the operation. They put their fists together as best they can, and Lucas says that it will be the two of them together, like it used to be.
