Gavin asked if Sydney had taken her drugs, then he ended the call and hadn't called since. "I need a bag of vegetables, four packs of spaghetti..."

She raised her head, and through the hole in the door, she caught sight of Gavin talking with Doctor Natasha, a bitter expression on his face. Sydney stood, catalyzed. Why is he here?
