Their relationship is sustained by Gene taking an interest in her father, Doug, who writes jingles and has a room full of high-tech musical equipment which Gene, a natural songbird, wants to gain access to.
After Gene becomes angry at Courtney interrupting his jingle/demo he's performing to Doug at her birthday, she collapses in shock and as a result of palpitations caused by her heart condition, is rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, she persuades Gene to admit that he wants to break up with her and after doing so appears to die, but it is later revealed to be an elaborate prank staged by Courtney, her parents and the attending Dr. Chegler. Courtney forgives Gene after he agrees to get Peter Pescadero to go out with her and clean her bedpan which he keeps for himself.
