She says she grieved and buried her father a long time ago and she is not interested in grieving him all over again. Audrey tells her that if she turns her back on him she is going to regret it.
Shaun tells Maya the plan to do a femur replacement, but the safest route is to amputate. She says her dance career would be over, Alex says she would be alive though. Maya says she wants the leg first and if she is going to die tomorrow, there is something she wants to do first. She dances with her partner.
Morgan tells Alex he should come over tonight. He tells her that she is emotionally stunted, anything that resembles intimacy freaks her and she starts throwing blows. And, if hooking up cases to be that way, it is better to go back to barely friends and no benefits.
Asher goes in to see Maya and tells her she is risking her life. He tells her about a girl that he was supposed to marry, Rachel, he was in love with her. But then, he fell in love with the boy down the street and all of a sudden, his world lit up, Rachel wasn’t enough, he was lying to himself and to her. He tells her that she needs to tell Leo about how she feels about him. She says they share everything, they are partners in every sense, except one and she doesn’t want things to change between them.
Shaun is home with Lea, he dances with her, she tells him that the swaying is making her feel sick, she goes to sit on the couch and read a book. He tells her that he feels disconnected from her and the baby, it is not a baby yet, it is a fetus. It is making his girlfriend mad at him, and he is feeling very alone. She tells him that he is so selfish, she is growing his baby, reading books, and taking tests for them. She goes into the bedroom and closes the door behind her.
Claire goes to see Miles, he tells her that she deserves better than him and he knows that. He tells her that he and her mother were young and naïve and stupid. He goes on to say that he tried for a while, but couldn’t handle her mother’s mental illness. She says she waited for him, she loved him and he left. He says he thought of her every single day. Claire is crying, she says he could have fought for her, he could have come back for her. He says he was a coward and running away from his own guilt. She says whether she is in his life or not, he should get the surgery, because if not, he is still a coward.
Lea tells Shaun that she is scared too and she doesn’t’ want to go through this alone. She doesn’t like that he calls the baby a fetus, she wants him to feel connected. She tells him to put his head on her belly and talk to the baby. He tells the baby about his patient, the dancer. She asks him if he feels better and he says no because the baby is too young to understand. She tells him that he shouldn’t go to the ultrasound, because he may say something to make her more upset.
Maya is in surgery when she starts rejecting the platelets. Asher goes to see Leo, he tells her that she is in love with him and that is the only reason she is having the surgery, she thinks if she can’t dance with him, she will lose him. He says he loves her, Asher asks him how much.

Asher goes to see Maya, Leo is not there and she doesn’t know where he is. She tells him that Leo loves her, but she doesn’t think enough. As long as he was around, she didn’t have room for anyone else, so she asked him to go.
Claire is in her father’s room, she tells him that she has been mad at him for so long that she couldn’t feel any other emotion but anger. She thought she outgrew it, but when he went into surgery, she didn’t feel anger, she felt fear. Miles wakes up and looks over at Claire, she tells him to get some rest. She says when he feels better he can take her for rocky road, it is still her favorite. He reaches out for her hand, she takes it. He tells her that he loves her, she cries.
