When the episode begins, Max nonetheless hasn’t heard from Helen after seeing her on TV, and he explains to Floyd that he can’t open that door after making an attempt so onerous to recover from her. Instead, he apologizes to Elizabeth for his response. Seeing Helen was like seeing a ghost as a result of she’s not in his life anymore, he explains. Elizabeth appears to understand his apology, however she additionally insists that she received’t be a part of another person’s romantic drama. Then, simply after Max asks for a do-over, he will get a textual content from Helen, asking if she will be able to see him tonight.
But Max would fairly keep away from Helen, so he jumps on the chance to take over a affected person’s Great Escape journey, and by some means finds medical doctors to cowl for Elizabeth and Lauren on the final minute to allow them to tag alongside. (Iggy, who’s struggling to signal his divorce papers, additionally jumps on the alternative to keep away from actuality.)
According to their Great Escape information, rappelling off a 300-foot cliff reveals what one actually desires, so perhaps that may clear Max’s thoughts? Well, perhaps it will have if their information hadn’t plummeted a number of ft, been trapped underneath rocks, and had her leg lower off and cauterized! (If this isn’t an commercial in opposition to being outdoorsy, I don’t know what’s.) In the midst of making an attempt to avoid wasting the information’s life, Max shares with Lauren that for months after Helen left, he dreamt of seeing her once more and getting the possibility to ask her why she left him. Lauren believes he’s doing the correct factor by not assembly up with Helen and that no matter she has to say isn’t going to assist Max. She urges him to look ahead, not backwards.
Eventually, Max reveals Elizabeth the texts from Helen. He says he’s not going, however Elizabeth replies that he wants to take a look at Helen and determine what he actually desires. “You can’t run forever. At least not with me,” Elizabeth provides.
So after they’re rescued from nature’s nightmare, Max stares at Helen via the window of the bar for an extended second, however he doesn’t go inside. Instead, he reveals up at Elizabeth’s door and kisses her.
