Nick and Althea discuss her deteriorating relationship with John. When she comments that her mother holds Nick in very high esteem, he cautions her to leave him out of her marital problems. Vito turns on the charm at the nurse's station and cajoles Miss Frobisher into giving him Toni's home telephone number. Before Vito can leave, Hank passes by and recognizes him as his old buddy "Mac" from their New York hospital days. Maggie debates whether or not to confide in Matt her fear that she's slipping into dementia, but she realizes that she can't leave him unless there's someone else to take her place as a wife and mother...someone like Karen.
