Ryan asks about Jake's idea. Angie says it is something to look into but not something to jump into! "It could be fatal," she says and reminds him that a quick fix isn't the best option. Angie leaves. Jake returns and tells Ryan the surgery is a long shot but could be worth it. "No risk, no reward," Ryan says.
