Dee warned Faith to keep her mitts off Pat or else. Frank's disruptive behavior at Pat's medical board hearing didn't help Pat's chances, but Faith presented test results that prove Angel could recover. Dee caused Pat to be late for work. Mary realized she shouldn't be defensive about Jack and made up with Tom.  Roger put the screws to Pat after the medical board issued an official reprimand against Pat, who was allowed to stay on staff but only under Roger's supervision. Jack and Mary's divorce went through, even though Jack had second thoughts after learning he'd lost all rights to Ryan. Mary learned that Tom won't ever return to Ireland because he feels responsible for someone's death. Roger played up to Dee, who fretted that Pat's getting too chummy with Faith again. Pat decided not to pamper Dee any longer.
