Lesley breaks up with Joel because he cannot make a lifelong commitment to her, whereas Cameron is helping her rent a cottage. Joel admits to Lesley that he is afraid of commitment because of health issues in his family. He has feared for his life since an irregularity was found in his heartbeat.

Meanwhile, Salvadore Piazzara, a patient of Joel's, dies from a fatal heart seizure. Cameron tempts Joel to resign with a job offer out of town, which would supposedly spare the clinic bad publicity after the Piazzara case.
