LONG VERSION
PREVIOUSLY
Sarah gets a job with grumpy photographer Hank. Kristina sees her doctor and gets a diagnosis (we dont hear this) that gets her a hug from Adam.
CURRENT
Max and Micah navigate their schools crowded hallway to get to the vending machines next to the drinking fountain. When they get there, the machines have been removed. Max has an outburst.
Adam tries to make small talk with Kristina at the oncologists waiting room. Another patient, Gwen, pegs Kristina as a first-timer (she has her hair, her husband is with her, etc.).
At the photo shop, a young couple is talking to Sarah, worried that they dont have a photographer for their wedding this weekend. Hank claims he has a personal day and cant do it, and, to Sarahs dismay, the couple leaves. Hank explains to Sarah he does not do weddings.
Zeek is driving Max, Sydney, Jabbar, and Victor. Max is complaining about the vending machine situation when Zeek does a mid-street U-turn. A cop pulls them over; Zeek sees that he is young and is worried that the cop will be impatient. Zeek's license expired more than a year ago. He sees the cop writing him up and gets out of the car to explain. The cop tells him to get back in the car, and when Zeek continues to argue, the cop cuffs him.
CREDITS
The doctor is examining Kristinas breast and recommends a lumpectomy and soon. He was highly recommended, but he has made them sit in the waiting room for over two hours, is very cold to them, answers his cell phone during the exam, and is very direct and methodical and this rubs Kristina and Adam the wrong way.
Sarah is helping Mark make a salad. She is complaining to him about Hank not taking the wedding shoot. Mark tries to role-play Hank, and Sarah lets out that she is most angry that Hank is patronizing and insulting to her.
At the police station, Julia and Joel are grilling Sydney and Victor about the incident, while Crosby (with Jasmine and Jabbar) sees the whole thing as an adventure, and Adam (with Kristina and Max) is just confused. Zeek comes out of booking and blames all of it on the overzealous cop. Camille leads Zeek out of the station.
Adam, Sarah and Crosby are with Julia in her kitchen discussing Zeek. Julia guesses theres a serious reason why their dad has not renewed his license in over a year. Crosby reveals that Zeek is on heart meds and everyone freaks. Adam gets a text from Kristina reminding him to bring home dinner and leaves.
Adam confesses to Kristina that he does not like her doctor and they should at least get a second opinion. Kristina, appearing indifferent, agrees, seemingly just to make Adam happy.
At the recording studio, Adam comes in and Amber tells him that a client they had is going to another studio. Adam snaps at her about everything.
At their lockers, Micah is trying to talk to Max but Max is obsessing over the vending machines. He reminisces there was a time when kids could buy Skittles whenever they wanted. The other students laugh at him and walk away. Micah also leaves.
At a new doctors office, Kristina and Adam are happy that she is touchy-feely. She is very optimistic with Kristinas prognosis.
At the photo shop, Sarah confronts Hank. He claims he just doesnt do weddings. She reminds him that he doesnt seem to want clients at all, as their date book is empty.
Adam, Sarah, Julia and Crosby have a sit-down with Zeek. Zeek says he just forgot to renew the license. As they continue, Zeek storms out. Camille defends him and says the kids should be ashamed of themselves.
Adam finds Zeek in the garage. He tells Zeek he knows about his heart condition. Zeek says hell be alright, but you never know whats going to happen. Adam agrees.
Sarah tells Mark how frustrated she is with Hank. He sympathizes but asks to change to subject. She agrees but then they are silent.
Adam catches Kristina on the computer but she claims she is not going against the doctors advice and searching about breast cancer. Micah comes into the kitchen and asks to be taken home. He says Max is still obsessing and that they havent been playing at all. As Adam goes to talk to Max, Micah suggests to Kristina that she put Skittles in Maxs lunch box.
Camille is quizzing Zeek from a DMV manual as he is driving to his test. She agrees that the cop was probably an ageist; but worriedly points out to Zeek to keep a safe distance from the car ahead, and to stop at a flashing red.
Crosby finds Amber at the studio late. She tells him about Adam outburst. Crosby says thats just Adam and invites her to a session the next day so she can apprentice with him.
At home, late, Adam is surfing a cancer website with survival statistics. Kristina, getting ready for bed, looks at her breast in the bathroom mirror and holds back tears.
Adam tries to get Max to talk about what being a good friend with Micah means. Max is still obsessing about the vending machines.
Kristina meets Gwen at a café. Gwen tells her how people will behave differently toward her during the course of treatment. She also tells Kristina that the doctor is there to be her doctor, not her friend. Kristina confesses she cant talk to Adam about her cancer because he always tries to be positive and she feels she cant tell him she is scared.
Hank goes to Sarahs house and asks her to get ready for a job in five minutes . . . the wedding. She tries to pry an apology out of him for his behavior toward her, but he remains aloof.
At the studio, Adam tells Amber to pick up Max at school. She tells him she has a session with Crosby, but Adam insists. Amber defends herself and says she could be a more than a Girl Friday for them and that hes been unkind to her recently. Adam confides that Kristina is sick and apologizes and asks for Ambers understanding.
Amber picks up Max at school. Max tells her about the vending machines.
Zeek passes his test.
Sarah and Hank are at the end of the evening having a celebratory drink of wedding champagne at the bar. Out of ear shot, they laugh at the newlyweds and how the couple probably thinks the world is theirs. Sarah finds out Hank, like her, had been married. Sarah insists that this time her marriage will last forever.
At bed time, Kristina tells Adam she wants to go back to the first doctor. Adam reluctantly agrees. Max storms in and says hes running for student body president and will win and will convince the school board to return the vending machines.
