On the morning of a scheduled operation, Dr. Jenkins delays the case to stage a public display of his importance, flirting with someone he calls "Babe" and promising another kind of thanks after surgery. A nurse interrupts: the patient has already waited two hours. Dr. Jenkins insists staff can wait longer—he wants Edward to know who the hospital's top surgeon is. When administrators search for him, they're told Dr. Jenkins and his assistant Chelsea are in his office, and coworkers begin to gossip about their private time. The operation remains stalled, the patient waiting, and the surgeon's stunt hangs unresolved.
