Shepard is fascinated by hypnosis and Garrus is curious. They decide to test the theory on him, and apparently it doesn't work on Turians. But he wants to prank her, so he pretends it works, intending to make her believe it went horribly wrong. But then, when she's sure she succeeded, she unexpectedly asks him for a hug...

Shepard's been rather stressed lately, and try as she might, Garrus has still noticed. And he's decided to suggest something... outside the box to help her.
