Dana and Nick are at the apartment loading boxes and things into a moving van as they are moving to New York to take the jobs with Manhattan General. Both have already resigned from RWHC and plan to be out of Philly within the next couple of days. Suddenly, Dana's cell phone rings.
"Hello" Answers Dana
"Dana, OMG! It's Lu. Are you busy?" Lu says seriously and urgently
"Well, I am in the middle of packing right now. What do you need?"
"I really need your help. Can you help me?" Lu continue to sound urgent
"Where are you?" Asks Dana concerned
"I am at my place. It's Marc, I need you and Nick to help us here" Says Lu
Dana thinks for a minute and tells Lu to hold on. She finds Nick in the moving truck and asks him if he would go with her to Lu's that something was wrong with Marc. He hears the urgency in her voice and they tell the movers to finish packing everything while they are gone. They get in Nicks car and drive to Lu's place. They run upstairs and knock on her front door. Suddenly, they hear Lu from inside yelling for them to come in. Dana opens the door and steps in with Nick following behind. The place is dark and Dana fumbles for a light on the wall when suddenly, Dana and Nick are shocked.
"SURPRISE" yells a group and Lana walks over and flips on a light.
Dana and Nick look surprised as they see several folks from RWHC gathered around Lu's living room. Peter, Marc, Lana are there and they come up and hug Dana and Nick.
"WOW!" says Nick
"You guys are great" chimes in Dana
"Hey, you guys deserve it!" Shouts Peter
"Do you think I would let you guys leave town without a proper good-bye?" Says Lu
"OMG, what can I say?" says Dana
"You guys are fantastic," says Nick
"Thanks" Dana and Nick say at the same time.
The party is going full force. Lana is running around trying to liven things up by passing around the bubbly. Marc is playing DJ by keeping the music alive. Peter and Lu are circulating the room with food and drinks. Lu has a ton of food on a table like pizza, chips, dip, Mexican appetizers and champagne, wine and beer plus coke for those underage or not able to drink alcohol. Dana and Nick are circulating through the maze of people. So many good-byes are being said. Many hugs, kisses on the cheeks etc. The party is going strong and as Dana passes by the food table, she hears someone sitting in a corner.
"Hello Dana" she says quietly
Dana looks up to see Susan, Jerkson's wife sitting in a chair. Dana comes up to her and Susan stands up as they face one another.
"Susan! How are you?"
"I am okay, still trying to let things sink in here," she says
"Susan, I am so sorry about Jerkson," says Dana
Susan rolls her eyes and laughs.
"Oh Dana, thank you"
"I know things are not easy for you right now"
"You could say that. I am hanging in though. We have a RN at the house helping me and I have a full time nanny now for the kids. It is just too hard to do it alone, you know?"
"Oh Susan, I can only imagine"
Susan looks at her seriously.
"Dana, I know"
Dana looks shocked, what does she know?
"Know what?" asks Dana
"I know that Jerkson loved you very much."
"Susan.." Dana starts
"No, it's okay. I knew you were the one he loved and not I. " Interupts Susan "Susan, that is not true" says Dana
"Dana, it's okay. I do not begrudge you in any way. As a matter of fact, I had a plan of my own anyway"
Dana looks puzzled "Plan?" she says
"Yes, if Jerkson had not passed on, I would have left him anyway. I was on the verge of doing so"
"Oh Susan.."
"No, I was planning to for a while. I knew he did not love me and besides, the MS was really getting on his nerves, he was at a breaking point"
"Oh Susan, I know he loved you"
"Loved is the word for it. That was back when we were kids in college and starting our lives together. We grew up and grew apart in time, it happens"
"Oh gosh...I am so sorry" Dana says reaching her arm.
"Thanks Dana but really, I am okay. I am getting his estate in order and taking this one day at a time" Susan says
"Please, please know you can call me anytime you need anything, okay" Says Dana
"Thanks Dana. I will. Besides, this is not good-bye, just a party saying that we will see one another later" says Susan
Dana and Susan embrace and Lana comes up with the bubbly
"Ladies" says Lana
"Hi Lana" Dana and Susan say
Lana turns to Dana and begins her spill
"Dr. Stowe, I know you are a perfectionist and wound a little too tight for Lana. Sometimes, you really got on Lana's nerves. BUT, you are a fine Dr. and I appreciate you for who you are. You and Nick both"
"Thanks Lana, I appreciate that"
Nick comes up and Dana leaves Lana and Susan and goes over to Lu and Peter.
"Guys, you can't leave us!" Says Lu
"Well Lu, it is time we move on to other pastures," says Nick
"So Nick, are you going to play golf when you get up there?" Asks Peter
"Yeah, if I can find a good country club. Dana and I will try to look into some organizations and do some socializing with colleagues once we get settled" says Nick
"Well, if you see Kilner the creep.." Says Lu
"I know Lu, tell him to.."interrupts Dana
"That I thank him for all he did to me" finishes Lu
Dana looks at her as if she has lost her mind. Afterall, this creep raped Lu
"Lu, what do you mean?" Asks Dana
"After what he did to me, I was angry, so angry. However, the experience has brought me a lot closer to Peter, we are closer now than we have ever been" says Lu
"Lu, I am so glad to hear that. Sometimes, experiences have miracles behind them" Dana says.
Lu and Dana hug one another and the party winds down. Dana and Nick realize that they need to get back to the movers. People are leaving bit by bit and Lu, Peter, Lana and Marc are cleaning up. Dana and Nick embrace them all and walk to the door. Everyone is crying, as it is sad to see Dana and Nick leave. As they walk to the door and open it, they stand there and look at their friends, colleagues who were gracious enough to give them this party. Everyone looks up as Dana and Nick say..
"Remember, this is not good-bye, just see ya later" They say together and walk out the door to a whole new world and experiences coming with it.
