Dr. Syd has a good practice in the big city but a bad day when her terminal patient finally passes away. Her surgeon boyfriend, who has been sarcastically nick named "Mr. Personality" and "Settle For" by Syd`s best friend (Nurse Brenda), takes this opportunity to offer support and destroys it by telling Syd dying is part of life and she`d be a better doctor if she stayed more remote from her patients and, oh, by the way, "can I come over tonight"? He is surprised when she says "not tonight." Brenda tells Syd to get away for a few days and suggests Syd change her mind and go back to her small hometown for her school reunion. Brenda points out that since Syd hasn`t been back since her father`s funeral, she`ll be the star of the reunion as a successful doctor who wears the same size as she did in high school.
