Adam is at work and Crosby can see that he is stressed so he gives him a massage.
It’s moving day, Sarah is freaking out because she is paying the truck by the hour and Drew is stalling – he tells her that he doesn’t want to go.
Hank drops by to see Sarah and tells her not to quit, he finds out quickly that she took a day off work to move.

Kristina expresses to Max that she and Adam are really bumped out that they are going to miss his speech.
Drew and Sarah have moved their stuff, she wants him to join her and Mark for dinner and Drew doesn’t want to. Basically Drew is not happy about the move and thinks it completely sucks that she did this during his senior year.
Julia has made a schedule for visitation at the hospital when Kristina goes for her procedure and is telling Crosby about when he is walking Adam and Kristina’s dog, Otis, to be helpful and the mutt gets away from him.
Mark doesn’t have cable, which only makes it worse for Drew. At the Braverman’s, Kristina wants someone to be with Max for support and Haddie steps in.
Amber is at dinner with Ryan and she looks really nervous to the point that Ryan thinks she may have agreed to it just to make her grandfather happy. Amber explains that she is just distracted because of Kristina’s surgery the next day and apologizes to him for being so heavy on their first date together.
Kristina, Adam, Max and Haddie are waiting for dinner, Crosby brings it as promised, but he is late.

Haddie is with Max at school, she tries to give him some pointers but he just wants to join the other candidates because he knows his speech and is ready.
At the hospital, Adam is still waiting, first with Julia, now with Sarah. Adam wants Sarah to tell him whats going on with her so he doesn’t think about Kristina and she tells him that Hank kissed her. Adam tells her to do what feels right, life is short. Crosby and Julia arrive for support.
