## Plot

*Its been 6 months since Holden and Rosie got their surgeries, now they are both healthy and are official T.V.s. They are walking down the hall of Attaway general together when they see a girl named Eva with a swollen ankle being carried by two other people, she calls for a doctor and is taken by one. Benny shows up saying they go to the same school.*

Nina and Dr. Henry are with the new T.V.s discussing that since the passing of the hospital's greatest benefactors, Lawrence DuPont, his family has established a grant in his name which will offer one of the volunteers a scholarship and an opportunity for a summer internship at Manhattan metropolitan. Then a late volunteer named Sasha rushes in who appears to be Nina's sister, she is then greeted by Dr. Henry. He then says he will be choosing the winner of the program and to work hard wishing them good luck. Holden asks what happened to Kit, Maeve says that she got suspended after prom and will not be returning this semester.

Sasha tries to explain to Nina why she was late who tells her that the internship is great for her and to work extra hard for it. Sasha doesn't seem to care about it as much, then she asks about Holden who she appears to have a crush on him. Nina tells her to get over it and that it will be bad for her to fall for him, then she mentions how Kit liked him and hosted a prom at the hospital for him without permission which messed everything up for her scholarship. Sasha refuses to listen to her.

Rosie is introducing Benny to a patient named Elijah who has osteosarcoma. Then she notices he looks familiar and asks if they have met before, Benny tries to lie and say that she has him confused with his twin brother Grayson who has been acting out since his parents got divorced, she believes his fake story.

Sasha is walking with Holden and asks him what his heart surgery was like, he responds by saying that it was a life changing experience especially because Kit took care of him a lot. Then they head down to the lecture with Dr. Henry who is teaching a lesson by checking on Eva's injury. He asks why an MRI was done on her instead of an x-ray, Maeve is about to give the answer but Sasha cuts her off saying that swelling can indicate damaged ligament so MRIs would be better for evaluating soft tissue because x-rays are only for bones. Dr. Henry is impressed by this and then tells Eva that her injury is more severe than she thinks and will take six to nine months to recover and will have to do surgery on her, Eva is very upset by this and goes into a state of depression.

Holden is talking with Sasha how he feels bad for Eva and knows how it feels to be in her position. Sasha wonders and asks him how he's feeling about his own condition just before Maeve interupts to give them their jackets. They put the jackets on, Holden leans over to fix her collar then she kisses him on the cheek thinking he was leaning over to kiss her. Sasha is then embarrassed and tries to leave. But then she stops tells him that it was her first kiss didn't even do it right. Holden humoured by this, asks her if she likes omelets wondering if she wanted to split one with her, then leans in and kisses her. Then they walk together to Junior's.
