Jesse thinks they got to be extra careful when it comes to her living with them. Angie tells Jesse that she's gone over Maya's background and there's nothing that causes her any real concern. Angie admits to Jesse that she think Maya has been in an unhealthy relationship but she thinks Maya moving in can help the situation. Jesse thinks it will cause problems.

Cara tells him she's sorry and Tad asks her about her morning. Cara informs Tad that Amanda has cervical cancer. Tad is shocked and asks how long they've known and if he should call Jake. Cara tells him they will be at the hospital most of the morning. Tad worries about Amanda and asks how they're doing. Cara tells him that Jake is being loving and supportive while trying not to worry. Tad says he can't do a thing to help anyone like JR, Amanda or Jake so he's useless. Cara tells Tad to stay there as she gets up and tells Tad that they're going to the beach. Cara and Tad then sit in front of the couch pretending it's the beach.

Jesse states that it can't happen. Brot asks Jesse what he needs him to do. Jesse tells him that he's got to go and rushes off. Brot hears a sound and heads in the opposite direction.

Amanda and Jake tell the oncologist that they hope the cancer hasn't spread. Amanda still wants to know how to get rid of it and asks if she can still have more children. He tells her that there are ways to destroy the cancer and still allow her to have children. Amanda asks more about it. He says there are many ways to go about it and there is a chance she couldn't get pregnant again. Jake hugs Amanda as she cries.

Maya and Angie go back home and Maya tells her how grateful she is for her coming with her and her new job. Maya admits she wasn't happy working at the Chandlers. Angie tells her it will be good for both of them especially since she wants to go back to work eventually. Maya states that it means a lot that Angie trusts her with Lucy. Angie says they will go inside to get her settled in her new home. As they go inside, Mookie comes around the corner and watches them go in.

Cara and Tad continue meditating. Tad continues to joke with her. Tad asks Cara if the beach thing is just something she would do. Cara tells him that she would like to go on the beach with him alone as they finish meditating.
