At a hospital, a pregnant woman meets her partner and insists she can’t tell him that he’ll be operating on her this afternoon because it would stress him. They exchange affection, but the partner panics that Dr. Quinn, waiting outside, might discover them. He then reveals he’s running for Quinn Group president and needs Dr. Quinn’s vote, so he refuses to rush into marriage. She says the afternoon surgery will allow them to have their baby. The episode closes with surgery confirmation still pending and both the secret and his election hopes hanging in the balance.
