Synopsis[]
As Sam gets political with his art, Elsa and Doug both explore a not-so-normal weekend away. Casey and Izzie both re-examine their romantic relationship.
Plot Summary[]
Elsa and Casey both have a mani-pedi and Casey has a voice-over about how she misses Evan, while Sam misses Zahid and sees him all around. Paige wants to talk her alone time with Sam, but Sam has to do an art project about something political, which he decides to do on the death of baby Magellanic penguins due to human activity. Sam catches Casey and Izzie kissing each other. Casey asks if he is fine with it and he compares them to two male penguins, Sphen and Magic, and their baby, Sphengic. Sam continues to draw dead and dying, bloody baby penguins, but something is still wrong. Elsa and Doug both fight each other, while Casey shows Izzie a drawing of Sphen and Magic.
Casey and Izzie both have a confrontation, because she does not want to broadcast their relationship and Izzie apologizes and asks to go slow. Paige checks up on Sam, making sure the stovetop is not leaking gas and she angers him. Sam finds Zahid's shirt, brings it to him at work and accidentally sets it on fire, causing the sprinklers to set off and making Zahid to continue on ignoring him while leaving the scene. Casey and Izzie both go to a party, and while dancing, Izzie feels that Casey is getting too close and Izzie winds up making out with a guy at the party. Elsa and Doug both play "Sam Takes a Walk" and talk about their relationship. Sam notices his wet drawings from the sprinklers, and realized that it is what was missing. Casey, angry at Izzie, wins her track race and avoids Izzie. Sam apologizes to Bob for setting the shirt on fire. Bob apologizes to Sam, because it is partly Bob's fault for him hooking up the gas, while he is living there during his marital problems. Sam finds out that Zahid is eloping with Gretchen, but it is on the same date as his nursing exam, which Sam promised not to let him screw up.
