When Liza asks Greenberg about symptoms that would warn of a return of any tumor, Greenberg tells Liza that Adam had grilled Greenberg's associates about the symptoms several weeks earlier. Dr. Greenberg tells Liza that some symptoms of a returning tumor would be hallucinations, hearing things incorrectly, seeing things and memory lapses. Liza asks if that would include something like believing she saw lights flashing when no lights were flashing and Greenberg confirms that that would be an example. Dr. Greenberg tells Liza she can go home that evening. But when Dr. Greenberg suggests he call Adam to let Adam know Liza can be released, Liza tells Dr. Greenberg that she wants to surprise Adam with her good news.

At the Chandler Mansion, after Trey listens to Adam talk Mia into attending the fund-raiser, Trey tells Adam that Trey has finally figured out that Adam is NOT just dumping Liza - it is obvious Adam plans to trade Liza in for her sister Mia.

Jake convinces Liza to talk to Mia about returning to her old job at the Hospital, now that Liza appears to be making a full recovery, and Liza agrees.

Meanwhile, back at the Chandler Mansion, Mia is surprised to see Adam dressed in his tux and planning to attend the fund-raiser with her.

But Adam persists and eventually sweet-talks Mia into consenting to attend the fund-raiser with him.
