Complete story — includes the ending
Hutch, the pitching prospect who was Dani's first patient through V3, has renewed anxiety issues. On the eve of his call-up to the majors, he suddenly announces his retirement, leaves V3, and disappears. Dani insists on continuing to help him in spite of her exclusivity contract, leading her to briefly quit before Connor apologizes and asks her to stay. Nico travels to the Caymans and finds that the "children's hospital" to which Carl was sending money is a vacant lot owned by an auto mechanic in New Jersey. He hacks the mechanic's computer and finds more money laundering, including payments to Joseph Crabcheck, a former student at V3's baseball academy who appears to be at the center of Hutch's hidden issues. Dani demands that he tell her everything about the money laundering in spite of his fears for her safety, and he finally kisses her and agrees to tell her everything. Meanwhile, TK attempts to break it off with Sheera, but after makeup sex, an episode of property destruction, and a tearful speech, he instead becomes engaged to her. Also, Connor discovers that Troy is lying to him about his travel schedule and Paloma is temporarily replaced by an incompetent intern while dealing with a "family emergency".
