The next day at eleven in the morning Luke Tribbiani was hard at work.
Today alone he'd tested three people for STDs, administered four pregnancy tests, stitched up two open wounds for less than chatty people, and tried to help a woman who clearly didn't speak English before he finally figured out her infant son had an ear infection.
And the entire time he did those things he was trying not to think about the events that had taken place the day before.
It didn't take a genius to figure out his father was Joey Tribbiani, the famous actor and known well known womanizer.
But he didn't know that the guy who's apartment he'd interviewed for happened to be his nephew, if he did know he wouldn't have gone near Jack Bing or his friends with a ten foot pole, but Luke just doesn't have time to think about that now, he had a patient.
When Luke walks into exam room B, he found a blonde woman in her mid forties sitting on the table texting using a shiny new iPhone, and was wearing designer labels.
She could obviously afford to go to places better than this, must not want anyone to know.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Tribbiani, and what's the problem today, Miss..,"Luke says closing the door and is reading the file when he see's a familiar last name,"Alexis Tribbiani,".
"Hi,"The blonde woman says slipping her phone into her purse.
"Stepmom ?"Luke asks leaning against the counter next to the door.
"Yeah,"Alex says holding her hands in her lap.
"Did Joey send you,"Luke asks laying the file next to the small sink.
"No, he thinks I'm at the book club I quit six months ago, he believes everything I tell him. But he's really upset about what happened yesterday,"Alex says as Luke smiles only slightly.
"He's an actor, how can you tell when he's actually upset or if just he's just acting,"Luke says crossing his arms over his broad chest.
"I know my husband, he's genially upset, and he wants to know you,"Alex says getting off the table and takes a step towards Luke.
"He had his chance with me fifteen years ago, now there are people who actually need to be here, so if you please,"Luke says going over to the door, opens it, and hopes Alex would take the hint.
"What are you talking about, he didn't know about you until yesterday ?"Alex asks staying where she stood.
"Then you don't know your husband as well as you thought you did. When I was eleven I wrote a letter to your husband, told him exactly who I was, and I never heard back, that's what I mean. Now I think it's time for you to go,"Luke says still standing by the door.
Just as Alex is about to leave, she reaches into the pocket of her gray slacks, pulls out a business card for Central Perk and hands it to Luke,"If you ever change your mind, go get a cup of coffee,".
After Alex leaves the room Luke closes the door and looks at the business card in his hand.
Just as he's about to throw it into the trash bin, he has second thoughts and instead of throwing it away as he planned, he sticks it into the front pocket of his light blue scrubs, and goes back to work, trying not to think about the events that just transpired.
