Complete story — includes the ending
Maggie flies Joel to a medical conference in Juneau, where he hopes to hook up with single young women doctors. Maggie looks forward to seeing a road production of Les Miz. They are forced to share a hotel suite (with separate bedrooms). Joel meets a New York City doctor ( Beth Broderick ) who wants to sleep with him, but is put off by her aggressive approach. Eventually he and Maggie decide to have sex, but she falls asleep before they do. The next morning, she assumes they did. Joel, insulted by her embarrassment, does not correct her and agrees to never to speak of it again. Chris experiences difficulty speaking, and he and his brother Bernard, newly returned from Africa, are out of sync with each other for the first time.
