Jolene can't concentrate, thinking about Wayne and the atmosphere he's creating at the Bull. She tells Lilian, the doctor has diagnosed bronchitis. Lilian's pleased she can do the listening for a change. Later, they call in at Jaxx for coffee. Lilian is still worrying about Matt. They both wish there was a tap for turning off emotions.
