## Biography

### Season 4

As Shaun talks to Dr. D'Souza, Morgan, Alex and Jordan observe their conversation. Morgan names the flirting signs that Shaun and Cintia exchange. When Shaun comes up to them, he says that he wanted to hear her opinion about an intriguing set of scans. He also says that Dr. D'Souza is very talented. Jordan tells him that he's crushing on her but Shaun denies it and says that he loves Lea.

Later at the hospital Shaun notices Dr. D'Souza who's watching The Weather Channel. She says that she finds it soothing and offers him to sit next to her. She then asks Shaun if he'd mind if she lowered the volume by four output level. Shaun smiles and says it'd be perfect. She then moves closer to him and tells him that their reflection on the screen distracts her. Shaun says that he feels the same way. Cintia moves her hand as the lights in the room go dim and they start kissing. Shaun lays down as they continue to kiss and all of a sudden he's woken up. He finds himself in the bed with Lea. Turns out it was a dream.

The next day, Dr. D'Souza brings the imaging to Shaun. He quickly turns his back and avoids looking at her. After she leaves, Park tells him that he's safe as she's gone. Shaun tells him that she's still in his mind and he doesn't like it. He then tells Park and Jordan that he and Dr. D'Souza kissed. They quickly rush over to him in shock. Park asks him about the kiss and Shaun tells him that it happened in his dream. He also says that his brain isn't behaving the way he wants it to and he asks how he can make it stop. Park tells him that he's simply attracted to her. Jordan tells him to have a nice dinner with Lea. Shaun says that he'll tell Lea about it. Park and Jordan immediately warn him not to.

During lunch, Shaun tells Lea about his crush. As a result, Lea decides to take an action. She observes Dr. D'Souza and makes notes. Later, she presents the observations she made to Shaun:

* *"She [Dr. D'Souza] smells like cinnamon"*. (This doesn't work)
* *"She does this weird self-grooming gesture where she tucks her hair behind her ear. And then sorta massages her ear."* (Shaun finds it even more attractive and anxiously says that this doesn't work either)
* *"At the salad bar, she used the cucumber tongs to reach for the cucumbers, and then tomatoes. And the olives. And the pickles."* (Finally, Shaun's disgusted by hearing about pickles)

When Shaun and Lea are leaving, Dr. D'souza catches up with them in the hall, holding salad. Shaun once again tries to avoid looking at her but Lea seems very calm and he turns around. He tries to smell her as she walks in between him and Lea. Dr. D'Souza asks Shaun about the procedure. Lea notices salad and asks her if it has pickles in it while looking at Shaun, smirking. She says yes and asks them if they want some. Lea and Shaun say no. Dr. D'souza smiles and leaves. Lea and Shaun are happy as they managed to "crush the crush".
