When we return from commercials, we flashjack to Muskrat Jack sitting in Sarah's hospital room, waiting for her to wake up. When she does, she asks if she's alive. She's alive, uh-huh, so alive. He scootches over in his chair, and she tells him he smells. Well, at least she'll be able to smell at her wedding (Stinky Jack might no longer be invited, though). Jack does have a bit of a sweat ring around his OR scrubs, and he explains that he just went running. "You smell like you ran far," she says, and she has this look on her face like she's a little upset about it, which I found funny. He says he showered, but apparently it didn't take. Then he goes into this whole thing about how a tour de stade is when you run all the steps in a section of a stadium. Hey, Dr. Jack, are there any other things you can do with your legs that you can describe to Sarah, who can't do that anymore? Do you have a kickboxing class later? Do you like to make your own wine by stomping grapes in a tub? Did you stub your toe earlier and want to complain about how much it throbs because of the way your nerve endings all annoyingly connect? Maybe you should keep this to yourself. Sarah just wonders why Jack would run around a stadium. Jack says, I swear to god he says this, that he's "intense." She asks him if he finished, and he says he hurt his ankle. "That sucks for you," says Sarah, with just a twinge of pointed anger, and Jack takes the hint. She asks if her fiancé -- Dickwad, I think his name is -- is here, and Jack says as nonchalantly as possible that he didn't see him. "I'm sure he'll be back," says Sarah, clearly not actually believing it and likely not unaware that Jack doesn't believe it either.
