She and Doc Stuart are splitting up the patients in the valley based on geography, meaning that Joe will have to go to her if he gets sick. His new plot is for someone to come up with a fake illness - something that she can't diagnose - which will lead to no one having any confidence in her abilities. After losing a lagging contest with Sam and Wendell, Joe himself is elected the patient with the mysterious illness. With heating pad and ice cubes in hand to mimic hot and cold spells on different parts of his body simultaneously, Joe enacts his plan. What Joe doesn't count on is that doctors talk to each other, they, who in combination, come up with a "diagnosis and remedy". What Joe also doesn't count on is that illnesses really do happen when you least expect them. Written by Huggo See less
