Episode Overview
Harrison is hospitalized for his leukemia treatment, sharing a room with a fervently religious roommate, which makes him uneasy. He’s adamant about not accepting help, even lashing out at Brooke. Meanwhile, Brooke grapples with her past struggles with anorexia, dreading her return to the clinic. Sugar Daddy, feeling low about his appearance, also checks into the same facility for eating disorders. Mike hears someone vomiting in the bathroom and initially suspects it’s Jane, but soon realizes it’s Brooke and takes her to the clinic. Sugar is downcast and clashes with Brooke, who suggests he reach out to one of the girls at the clinic. She even tries to play matchmaker by slipping a love note under the girl’s door, but it mistakenly ends up with the clinician. Feeling guilty, Sugar confesses to Ashley that he wasn’t the author of the note, unaware that it never reached her. Just as Harrison’s roommate begins to settle, he has a seizure.
