Jackie grows nervous as she prepares for her official date with Frank, and she ends up calling Charlie's phone to confide her frustrations. Elsewhere, Carrie and Coop continue their sexual relationship, Zoey helps deliver a baby, and Gloria proves her worth to Prentiss by identifying a spinal fracture in a patient that Prentiss had initially cleared for discharge. Zoey and Thor help Jackie choose an outfit for her date with Frank, which initially goes well until Jackie receives an unexpected call from Charlie's phone; Jackie answers the call and discovers it is Mike, who has followed her inside the restaurant and wishes to meet with her. Jackie leaves her date early and follows Mike to his apartment; she comforts him as he emotionally recounts Charlie's death, and the two end up having sex. While Jackie is away with Mike, Grace sneaks out to meet with Danny at a club but quickly becomes overwhelmed. She leaves the club alone and calls Jackie to pick her up.
