As Yokas and Bosco climb up a stairwell, Carlos is on his way out. He reports that the rape victim is pretty banged up with a hurt ankle and hand. Upstairs, Doc is tending to the woman, who looks severely banged up. He's splinting her hand as Yokas asks if the woman is able to answer a few questions. Doc gives Faith the go-ahead. "You were raped?" she asks the victim flatly. The woman nods. Yokas asks for her name. It's Bonnie Price. As Bosco looks on fiercely, the woman describes the assailant. He was in his twenties, with muscles, short brown hair and tattoos on his arms. She says that in the middle of the attack, the attacker got hungry and made himself a sandwich. Bosco looks at the nightstand and there is indeed half a sandwich lying on a fallen picture frame.
At the hospital, Bosco can't believe the bastard made a sandwich. But he is quickly distracted when Doc comes by to tell them that Morales is examining Bonnie. Bosco asks if Doc wants in on his fantasy football league. It's just a job, huh Bosco? Doc tells Yokas that she is being requested in the exam room. Faith makes a long walk there, and arrives just in time to hear Morales ask the rape victim if there was any anal penetration. Yeah, in case you haven't figured it out yet, this episode is going to be pretty serious. Not a lot of Sully pratfalls or Carlos temper tantrums in this one. Morales lays on bad news upon bad news: she's going to have to treat Bonnie for STDs. There's a chance of pregnancy. And she'll have to be tested more than once for HIV. Yokas, who looks a little uncomfortable (who wouldn't be?) asks if there's anyone she can call for Bonnie, like maybe her husband. Bonnie's husband, it turns out, is in the military and stationed in Germany. She's just returned to the U.S. to start law school at Columbia. As Morales starts explaining what they'll do about HIV testing, the sound fades down as we focus on Yokas.
Out in the hall, Yokas tells Dr. Morales that she and Bosco can come back in a few hours to take Bonnie home. Morales agrees not to release the patient until they return. Faith asks whether Morales knows of a family clinic. And by "clinic," she doesn't mean a place to treat a cold. Morales asks whether Yokas has a gynecologist. Yokas looks like she's about to forget the whole thing, but Morales comes through with a clinic recommendation.
