Then asks where Mateo is, her number one student, Audrey tells her that he was called away on a medical mission in Guatemala; Salen wants to know about extended absences in the future.
Shaun tells Lea that he had the lowest score in the whol surgical department, he made five people uncomfortable, seven patients said he talked weird and one woman was a little creeped out by his manner. The data reflects patients actual opinions, Shaun tells her that he will work on himself and improve his scores.
Audrey tells Asher about a case, Mrs. Castillo, she is from Guatemela, Mateo sent her there because they don’t have the equipment to deal with a bypass. She is happy to be there, she tells Dr. Lim she is happy to see the chief, she heard a lot about her.

Back at the hospital, Shaun is with Alex and tells Mr. Song that he has figured how to get rid of the tumour with florescent light. He might have some paralysis on his right side, but nothing else. Mr. Song says no. Alex explains that without the procedure he will have a year at most.

Jordan goes to see Mr. Song and asks why he didn’t tell his daughter what he is going through. He is trying to protect her, he doesn’t want her to hurt, he needs to be strong for her.
Asher finds out that Audrey is doing Mrs. Casillo’s surgery at county and he wants to assist. She tells him that he has no priveledges there and it will make Salen upset.
