Weaver walks into Trauma Green, where Jake and Abby are giggling while suturing a patient. She tells them she's looking for an "obnoxious bald guy who needs suturing." Jake and Abby talk over each other nervously to point Kerry next door to Trauma Yellow. Kerry looks through the window in the door. The patient spots her and starts yelling that his head is throbbing and no one will give him any drugs. An incoming gurney gets slammed into him, just as Kerry shuts the blinds. What in the hell was that? Weird. I get that they're trying to point out the huge change in Kerry's attitude from earlier, but weird. Weaver notices that Jake and Abby's patient is Screwdriver Simon. Jake and Abby both start to explain why he's still there. Jake takes full responsibility. Weaver asks if Dubenko doesn't deserve a little of that responsibility, since he ordered all of those tests, adding, "I hear everything, Mr. Scanlon." Abby agrees, "She pretty much does." Weaver asks if there's any hope that the patient will be sent upstairs in their lifetime. Jake promises it'll be ten minutes, and Kerry thanks him, and then orders them to handle obnoxious bald guy when they're done. Kerry walks out, and Jake asks, "Does she have multiple personalities?"
Shane West walks in, and Jerry comments that he's not working tonight. Shane says that Malarkey called in sick, so he was ordered to cover. Fucking Malarkey. Weaver asks Frank if he's seen Neela or Carter, and he hasn't. She hands the chart for the drug-seekers to Shane, telling him to review the chart and then kick them out.
Darlene goes over a list of skilled nursing facilities with Charlotte, who is very grateful. Weaver spots her and Darlene explains what she was doing. Weaver asks if Pratt is "remotely involved with this patient." Darlene says that they're swamped, and that Pratt is busy, but that he's involved, sort of.
Pratt checks out Darlene's suture work on Mrs. Devon, and is impressed, as is Chuny. Pratt grabs the chart to sign off, but Mrs. Devon drops a tissue box on the floor. Pratt picks it up. This goes on for a long time. Finally, Pratt realizes that he shouldn't give her back the box. He looks up and sees Weaver and Darlene smiling at him from behind the desk.
