After he leaves, Lexi urges Brady to keep talking to his ex-wife. When she leaves them alone, Brady holds Chloe's hand and tells her he knows what's it like to feel as if no one cares. He refuses to give up on her or let anyone find out what she was doing. She squeezes his hand when he mentions Parker. He calls Maxine in. The nurse checks her over and says it might have been nothing but it's a good sign.

Rafe goes down the hall. Sami hears him coming and hides under Lexi's desk. Her phone starts to ring when he tries calling her. She crawls out and acts sheepish. He's impressed that she hacked into a computer. He hugs her and promises to always be there for her. Lexi walks in and sees her desk is a mess but doesn't ask what happened.

Roman arrives at the hospital just as Daniel discovers that Chloe was the latest victim. He runs into her room and is so distraught he nearly pukes on her. He stutters as Roman enters.

Lexi joins Sami and Rafe in her office. Sami shakes and spazzes. Lexi explains that there is no evidence of cancer. Sami falls over and cries. She apologizes for being a freak. The doctor reminds her that she had nine cysts and needs to see a gynaecologist regularly. "Awesome," says Sami. She starts making out with Rafe. They run out.

He skips away.

The detective asks her to put herself back into the moment she saw her attacker. Mandy freaks out. She calms down and they start again. A musical montage later and they have a drawing that looks remotely like Gus. Down the hall, Lexi checks on Chloe. When the doctor leaves, Chloe mumbles, "Gus."

Gus and Viv arrive at Chez Rouge. They're led to a table and she tells him the reservation doesn't include her. Quinn arrives. "Hello Russ," he says to Gus with a smirk. Gus mopes over to the bar and brings them champagne. Quinn spills it on him. Viv tells him three is a crowd. Victor and Maggie show up at her restaurant. Viv swans over to their table and starts making pot shots. Maggie snipes at her until she leaves. Victor tells Maggie how much he likes having her at his place. After they start their chocolate mousse, he tells her that she makes every room brighter and cleaner. He asks her to stay permanently. She can't think without dancing so they hit the floor. Across the room, Jenn joins Daniel at his table and she thanks him for the dress. She can sense that something is wrong. With some prodding, he tells her what happened to Chloe.

She doesn't think she's good enough to eat there. He's sure she's larcenous enough to skip out of a check. When they get to their table, their song starts playing. She nearly hyperventilates. He gets her up to dance. They notice Jenn and Daniel dancing and ask them to join them for champagne. The two couples toast to life. Meanwhile, Gus heads down to the crime scene to plant Quinn's hairs as obviously as possible before forensics do their final sweep.
