Aaron is trying to sell his house when his ex-wife, Ilana, shows up. He tells Ilana that Debbie thought he was controlling and selfish. He wants to go to Montana, where nobody knows him and has no expectations of him. She notes that he has done this before, after Maddie's death. She says that she needs his assistance because her spouse is dying. His diagnosis is body dementia, which he has had for two years. They have found an experimental trial that uses deep brain stimulation to slow cognitive deterioration. She wants Aaron to look at it. Aaron tells her that there are more doctors that have more experience, to which she replies that she doesn’t want to waste the time they have left, she just wants to hear the truth.

Salen invites Morgan and Alex to a dinner with her and Marcus. Aaron goes to the hospital to help Ilana's husband, Sunil. As he says that they are going to do some tests, Sunil has a sudden memory loss and screams why he is at a hospital. Ilana tries to calm him down by showing him photos of their family.

Alex is looking over Sunil’s x-rays, he thinks he would be a good candidate for the experimental trial. Aaron joins him and looks at the x-rays.
