Scott, newly blind and disabled, wakes anxious that Tina no longer loves him. Nurses and visitors insist Tina is devoted—she's been caring for him in the hospital and fetching his medicine—but she can't speak because her throat is inflamed. Joyce, they reveal, doesn't want Scott to feel indebted, while someone accuses Tina of timing her care to gain benefit and win his heart. That accusation erupts into a heated argument. The episode closes with Scott confronting Tina directly: "When I asked you about my blindness, why did you say the person by my side was you?"
