Two weeks into this job, Alicia and Rupert visit Will’s house and awkwardly tell him that they are getting married after bonding in the wake of his accident. Lou keeps at it because they need the money even more now that Treena wants to go back to school. The nurse Nathan helps with his physical needs, but Will never speaks to Lou or Nathan. He ignores her and sulks in his room while she does chores for him. Lou does her best to help Will, but he doesn’t seem to appreciate it. Lou meets Will Traynor, who is angry that his mother has hired yet another person he does not want caring for him. She chooses to go ahead with the interview because of the pay and benefits offered by Camilla Traynor, who happens to be intimidating in her own right. Finally, she is left with a choice between a six month caretaking position for an elderly quadriplegic man or no job at all.
