Connor Rhodes: How was your first day back at work? I was hoping to come down and see you but I had to cover a few surgeries for Doctor Latham.

Ethan Choi: Don't worry about it. What time are you home tonight?

Connor Rhodes: Are you ok? You sound off.

Ethan Choi: Yea. I just miss you. The bed's not the same without you in it.

Connor Rhodes: You only have to wait a few more hours and then you can have me all to yourself.

Ethan Choi: I look forward to it.

Kris Delaney: Hey Nat, can you send me Doctor Choi's number? I need to run through a few things with him.

Natalie Manning: Sure I'll send it along.

Contact: Ethan Choi - Sent

April Sexton: Did Doctor Choi seem a little off to you today?

Maggie Lockhart: He seemed quiet but it is his first day back so I put it down to that. I can't imagine what it must be like to work in the same area where something like that happened to you.

April Sexton: Good work keeping him out of Treatment 5 by the way. I think that would have been way too much for his first day back.

Maggie Lockhart: Doctor Delaney insisted on it. He wanted Doctor Choi's transition back to the E.D as smooth as possible.

April Sexton: Noah says they did a few tours together in the Navy.

Maggie Lockhart: I didn't get that vibe off them this morning. They seemed completely professional.

April Sexton: That's weird right? Why would Doctor Delaney care enough to make sure Ethan avoided Treatment 5 if it was just professional?

Maggie Lockhart: Let's keep an eye on it over the next few days. Something doesn't feel right.

Kris Delaney: Hi Ethan, it's Kris. Have you got time to talk?

Nina Shore: If you don't remove the last of your stuff out of my apartment, I swear to God I will burn it.

Will Halstead: I'm still looking for a new place Nina and my dad's place can only accommodate so much.

Nina Shore: You have until tomorrow evening.

Connor Rhodes: That did not look like it went well.

Will Halstead: It did not. She wants the last of my stuff out of her apartment but there's nowhere else to put it. I'm living out of the bedroom at my dad's at the moment. I thought if we spoke face to face I'd be able to calm her down.

Connor Rhodes: I think you just poured fuel on the fire.

Will Halstead: Yea, this is not an amicable break up.

Connor Rhodes: Why don't you take the keys to my apartment for a couple of days, you can store your stuff there until you find a place of your own. I spend most of my time at Ethan's anyway so you'll pretty much have the place to yourself.

Will Halstead: Your sure? It would be doing me a real favor.

Connor Rhodes: I'll find you after shift to give you the keys.

2 Missed Calls - Kris Delaney

Jeff Clarke: Come on Nat, talk to me.

Natalie Manning: You can't just tell me something like that and expect me to be ok with it.

Jeff Clarke: It was something I said when I was drunk. At the time things weren't going so well with me and Lisa and I saw you at the bar and it just came out of my mouth.

Natalie Manning: I don't need you to explain it to me all over again. You made me think that we would have had his blessing. I was terrified to move on from Jeff. Even more afraid to get involved with you, my husband's best friend. And yet I thought there is no one Jeff would approve of me being in a relationship with more than you. And you let me think that.

Jeff Clarke: I am so sorry that I didn't say something sooner. I was afraid I'd lose you.

Natalie Manning: I'm sorry Jeff it's over between the two of us. Don't text me again.
