When they get there, Meg says she should just tell Bob and Jack what Craig's done, but he says that won't bring the dead patient back to life, it will just stop Meg from being able to help people in the future. Meg says he's using the 1-2 punch of excuses and then justifications for what he's doing and that he's not doing this to help her, he's doing it so he can have her. Craig tells Meg there's no "grand design" here, he's just trying to help her keep her job because he admires her for doing the kind of work she does. When he asks what's the harm in letting him help her, she replies, "That I might end up being like you." Realizing she may have actually hurt Craig's feelings, Meg apologizes.

Craig then tells Meg that he wants her to like him, "because if I can get you to like me, I won't be who everyone says I am." As she leans in close to him on the sofa, Craig tells her she's "too close and too beautiful" for him to remain a gentleman, and she asks what he'd do if he weren't a gentleman.
