Storyline

Finally fully supportive of Evan's proposal to Paige, Hank hands over mother's ring. The enthusiastic bride to be however won't keep it until he asked her hand to her father, the hostile general, pretending that comes first. It's a steamy challenge in a sauna, and Paige feels it failed as Evan agreed to wait 'until after the elections'. Raj finds broke Divya unable to pay the damages his parents demand to repay their canceled wedding. Elsewhere, Hank improvises, assisted by Divya, by treating a difficult farm-workaholic patient whom is Libby's mother.
