Private Dancer is being released from the hospital. But when he finds out he can't join the army, he tries to commit suicide.
- Big Damn Kiss: Elliot pulls Dancer in for one after she finally gets through to him and convinces him he's got a future. It's not romantic, it's not a promise, it's... hope.
- "Not So Different" Remark: Though Brian initially rejects Elliot's attempt to reach out about her attempted suicide, she convinces him that her childhood was a WASP hell, and it was a genuine attempt. And if she can get through that, he can get through this.
