What Happened in the Previous Episode (Season 2, Episode 9)
The storyline leading into Episode 10 involves a major personal decision for Joyce and growing tension between Matt and Serena. In Episode 9, Joyce enlisted Alex’s help to plan her wedding to Sanderson, who wanted a Viking-themed ceremony. The planning process revealed Joyce’s own doubts about the marriage. After experiencing a panic attack, Joyce concluded she did not want to marry Sanderson.
Meanwhile, a subplot focused on the relationship between Matt and Serena. When Matt began wearing glasses to work, other nurses showed interest, but Serena claimed not to care. Dr. Bruce pushed Serena to confront her true feelings, leading her to admit she likes Matt—though she quickly clarified she meant only as a friend. Bruce warned Serena that her mixed signals could hurt Matt, suggesting someone like Holly might be better suited for him.
