Hospital- Ryan asks Vicky why she's having a physical. She tells him something happened in Switzerland she needs to find out about. He says she should tell him what it is. Sassy's- Vic and Lorna show up. Vic goes to order their food. Lorna protests because he didn't ask her what she wanted but he recites what she was going to order almost word for word.

Jake says if Rachel wants to blame someone she should blame Mac. Rachel physically attacks Jake. Convent- Brett goes out to the yard and sees a guy. She starts to talk to him. She says she feels weird about her convent retreat. She thinks it's partly because she was brought up 1/2 Catholic and 1/2 Jewish. She says she doesn't know how to deal with religion and she feels closed in. He asks if her problems have to do with a guy. She says she's having trouble with concepts of life in general. He makes a comment about her liking baseball and tells her he's sorry to hear she's not finding a good job. He asks if she's a designer. She says yes, but she thinks that's the reason she doesn't have a handle on spiritual stuff. He says that heaven and hell and all that is the foundation of all the convent stuff. He tells her he's the priest who said mass. Court- Frankie tells Cass the problem is she doesn't know anything about Morgan, so she can't plan for his visit. He says Morgan isn't that important and not to worry about it. Maggie tells them she's worried that Paulina won't get better. Frankie tells her not to worry. Hospital- Jake and Rachel are separated as John and Kelsey show up and Ryan and Vicky intervene. Vicky tells Jake to get a grip on himself. Rachel asks John and Kelsey if Jake brought the papers. John says yes, but they're still working on interpreting them. Ryan tries to calm Rachel. Vicky asks Jake if he still loves Paulina. Jake says no, but that he hasn't stopped caring about her. Rachel reminices about how Paulina came into the family's life. Ryan says not to worry- they'll find a way to help Paulina.

A nurse tells Vicky she's ready for her. Vicky tells Ryan she'll meet him at Sassy's. Kelsey tells John the research is going slow. John says she'll figure it out. Convent- Priest Peter tells Brett he also has a job youth counseling, and he's dressed in street clothes to go to work. He agrees the convent life isn't for everybody. Brett says it's not for her and she's not gettign a job- she can't get the type of job she wants and she won't get a hack job. So she's stuck in a crappy job in half a uniform. She says she's not good at choices and asks how to know the right choice. He says he thinks that's why she's here- to learn about why she's here on Earth. He says life's not a rehearsal. He tells her she has to consider everything carefully because everything counts and she's working too hard. She says she can't wait for life to happen- it'll run her over- that he doesn't know because he's not out in the world. Priest says he misses his fiance, but that he just had a feeling inside that wouldn't go away. He says he thinks if you pray you get answers. He says he'll help her start her spiritual learning. Sassy's- Lorna says she can read a man's mind if she stares into his eyes. Vic asks her what she figured out. She says he likes french fries, and other than that, not much. Vic says he sees raw desire in her eyes, waiting to be unleashed. Matt shows up and asks Vic what happened to their racketball game. Vic says he didn't think Matt would want to play with everything going on. Matt says that's why he needs to play. Lorna says to go play. Brava- Amanda says the good stuff about Mac will be in the next issue of Brava. Felicia says Jenna should do a call-in show about Mac. Rachel shows up and says Paulina's not doing well. Iris says they can't help her, so they should plug on at Cory Publishing. Rachel says she found out in Fall River that the rainforest Mac owned was destroyed the same time the paper was bought by Mac. Iris says she hates to have to say something, but ... Brava- Iris says she came up with the same info. here. She says maybe it's true. Iris says she loved Mac, but she thinks the story about Mac might be true. She says maybe the Mac they knew didn't exist- that they imagined it. Rachel doesn't agree. Iris says maybe she inherited her unethical tendencies from Mac. Iris says profits were soaring when Mac was in charge of Cory, but now that they're being so damned ethical, profits are going down the drain. Rachel says Iris's mistakes aren't Mac's fault. Rachel says Mac could never betray one of his friends. Hospital- Ryan asks how Vicky is doing. She asks him why he's at the hospital and not at Sassy's ordering cheeseburgers. He asks about the tests. She says she'll know soon enough. Kelsey tells John they're still working on a cure, but Paulina doesn't have much time. John says he's grateful for Kelsey. He says after this is over he'll take her on a good honeymoon. They go back to their patients. Court- Cass tells the judge Maggie's been good and her records should be sealed and her meetings with the probation officer should be reduced. Judge agrees but Maggie interrupts. She says she has to tell the judge something. Racketball Court- Brett tells the priest he's wicked at racketball. He says physical exertion is good for the soul and the body. priest syas hiding out in church can be an excuse not to help other people. She says she needs to find her spiritual center. He says she should give herself credit for being a good person and let God clue her in in good time. He says she should help other people. He says not to worry, that a good man and job are right around the corner for her. Priest makes a call. Locker Room- Brett asks Matt how things are. He says they're not much better and scares Brett off by being so gruff. Lorna and Vic show up. They decide to play racketball winner takes all (i.e. one hour where the loser does whatever the winner says to). Sassy's- Ryan says he'll make sure Vicky eats what she needs. He says after Switzerland it's a miracle she has any energy. She smiles at him. He says he's glad they're back together. She says she's going to tell him something. Brava- Iris says she doesn't believe Mac's innocent and Rachel tells her she'll regret having ever doubted him. Jake listens at the door. Felicia asks if everything is alright. Rachel says nothing will be alright until Mac is proven innocent. Hospital- John tells Kelsey he's moving Paulina to ICU because she's not responding. He thinks she's heading into a coma. Kelsey says nothing's working. Court- Maggie thanks the judge for giving her time to speak. She says Ian needs to be released to help Paulina. She says the reason Ian left the country is to get his dad's notes and Paulina is about to die. Judge says he'll talk to Ian. Sassy's- Brett is there. Vicky tells Ryan she's pregnant.
