Harry sends her away in frustration, leading Lucy to feel guilty and determined to make it up to him. She attempts to help the nurses make their rounds, but her overzealousness and clumsiness leads to her tripping and knocking over various objects in the hospital.

When Lucy finally gets to Harry's room, she realizes he's not there. She panics and assumes he has passed away, but soon discovers that he was only moved to another room. Her relief is short-lived as she proceeds to catch a cold from wandering around the hospital. Though she tries to hide it, Lucy's persistent coughing and sneezing worry the patients she's trying to help.

In an effort to redeem herself, Lucy decides to care for another patient, a young boy named Timmy. However, her well-intentioned actions only cause more mayhem in the hospital. She accidentally breaks the boy's cast and ends up stuck in Timmy's bed, unable to move. Meanwhile, the hospital staff is trying to find her because they believe she's gone missing.

The chaos that Lucy causes eventually lands her in the hospital bed next to Harry's. Though her intentions were good, Lucy realizes that she's not cut out for the nursing world. She decides to leave it to the professionals and focus on her talents elsewhere.
