Asher says maybe Oscar’s problem is psychological, Alex says to do an MRI.
Regarding Dr. Chambers, Shaun says he didn’t think he was a jerk and he knows what he has. Shaun tells Dr. Chambers that his condition is probably caused by his repetitive technique, he doesn’t do sutures in varied ways, this kind of obsessive behavior is common in people with autism.

He tells Dr. Chambers that he can change too. Then, Shaun tells him about his brother, he gave him a plastic scalpel before he died. He gives Dr. Chambers his mug, he fixed it. Dr. Chambers says he was nine years old when his father died, he always brought him a mug with hot chocolate. He always tried to fit in, but it didn’t work, he gave up on relationships, everything, except the one thing he is good at. People tolerate him because he saves lives, without that, why would anyone care about him. Shaun says he cares. Time for surgery, Shaun takes the mug out of Dr. Chambers’ hand.
Shaun is home, Lea is making dinner. She asks him if he has thought anymore. He says he made a list, Lea did too. He says he thinks he would be a good father, but he can’t know for sure. She thinks he would make a good dad. He tells her that she was right, it is complicated, but he wants her to be happy. She says there are so many reasons to do this, and so many doubts, she is scared. She says if they are both having doubts, maybe now is not the right time. He says ok. Shaun holds her hand.

Alex has packed his bags and he is moving out. Morgan asks him if he was messing with her or not. He says he wasn’t messing with her. She says it is good they are not roommates anymore. She leans in and kisses him.
Shaun and Lea are in a clinic, they both look terrified. She says she spent all day telling herself why this is a good idea, but now that it is actually happening, it doesn’t make her feel any better, just really sad.
