Nikki has been asked to meet the hospital administrator in the staff recreation room to face questions about an operation that went badly and a law suit that has been filed against the hospital. He tells Nikki that he needs to suspend her from duty while an investigation is conducted. Nikki begs not to be taken off her case load, especially with some of her patients who need follow up care. The administrator is mainly concerned with liability, but Nikki's pleas are so heartfelt, he decides he will accede to her request if she is willing to do something for him, right away. It's a request a professional woman like herself finds very hard to meet.
