Beth decides that her fondness for God's creatures extends beyond animals and after praying for Carly McKenna (Tom's ex mistress) to wake up for days, she decides to pay her a visit. Tom is uncomfortable and wants to leave but Beth tells him to slow down and that they are supposed to talk to patients in a coma. When he asks what they should say, Beth replies small talk and she tells Carly that they are helping Elliot throw a surprise party tonight. Then Beth goes on to say that Elliot made a mistake and told Maggie the name of his ex wife and that she finds it ridiculous that Maggie is so insecure because no one liked Elliot's ex wife Diane. Tom interjects that Carly needs her rest and then reads a text from Elliot asking them to pick up balloons on the way over to JP's. Tom leaves the room and Beth lays her hands on Carly and says heal thee. When she looks down, Carly is still in a coma so Beth says, "I'll keep praying for you bitch."
Tom and Beth are in the car and it is now full of balloons. Beth notices that Tom is quiet and so she asks him if he is upset that she came with him to see Carly. At first Tom says that's it great if that is what Beth needed to do and then says that he thinks it's creepy. Beth asks if Tom wanted to be alone with Carly because he is still in love with her. Tom denies being in love with Carly and Beth insists that he still seems mad. Tom tells Beth that they shouldn't look back and he insists that he is not mad about anything. When a squirrel runs into the road, Beth demands that he stop but Tom does not stop in time and hits the squirrel. Beth gets on her knees and apologises to the squirrel. Tom says that they have to put the squirrel out of it's misery. He grabs a huge rock and is about to squash the squirrel, when Beth gets a message that she is suppose to save the squirrel, so she takes off her sweater and wraps the squirrel up in it.
They take the squirrel to Elliot and he says that if it were human he would run some tests to find out why he has fur and a tail. Elliot clearly does not want to touch the squirrel. Beth tells Elliot that she promised God that she would save the squirrel. Elliot is not convinced and says that he admires Beth's feelings for animals but that he took an oath in medical school to do no harm and sometimes it means not intervening with nature. Elliot finishes by saying, "cadaver's boobs are still boobs."
Beth is looking down at the squirrel in a diner when Jenna approaches and tells her that every life is precious. Beth says precious and unnerving and admits that squirrels have always freaked her out because squirrels have always reminded her of rats. Jenna then asks Beth to move away from the window before their YELP score gets crashed. When Beth looks out the window, she sees cats and dogs staring in at her.
Tom and Elliot are talking and Elliot says that he can't decide if it's weirder that Beth visited Carly with Tom, or that she is busy nursing road kill. Tom says that Beth was chatting up Carly like they were in the same traipse act and one of them got injured. Elliot believes that this is a good thing because Beth actually forgave Tom for having an affair. Tom replies that he doesn't feel like a winner and wishes that he could erase the last six months. Tom feels that Beth's reaction is not normal and wants her to be mad about the affair. Elliot talk about the fact that he is always in the dog house with Maggie and suggests that they should do a couples switch, so that he can have all the forgiveness and Tom can have the rage that he needs. Tom says that he would take the evil eye over crazy eye any day. Tom adds that he always imagined growing old with Beth and didn't imagine her going crazy. Beth approaches and says that the squirrel's breathing is laboured and that its fur is pale. Elliot suggests that it's time to call the squirrel priest but Beth is adamant that they cannot let the squirrel die. Beth tells Tom that they have to take the squirrel to a real doctor and Elliot says that Beth means a vet.
At the vet, they learn that the MRI revealed that the squirrel has a couple of broken ribs. Tom says that he cannot believe they are having a conversation about a squirrel MRI. The vet adds that the squirrel also has a shattered pelvis with internal bleeding and Beth asks what they can do. The vet recommends euthanizing the squirrel and Beth says no and Tom adds that they should have just done the rock thing. Beth says no again and asks the vet what he can do. The vet suggests surgery and Tom is concerned about the cost. The vet tells him that it will cost between 1700-1800 and Tom immediately says no. Beth tells him that they cannot think about money and should focus on the precious life. Tom denies thinking about the money at first and then says that he is thinking about the money and the poor squirrel. Tom points out that by doing this that they are extending the squirrels suffering and adds that if he had this much damage, he would want her to put him down. Beth again points out that God really wants her to save the squirrel and that maybe this is all connected to Carly. When Tom expresses doubt, Beth replies that if he had spent the fifty minutes with bible that she has, he would understand that God works in super weird ways. Tom says that this had been made really clear. Beth suggests that maybe if she saves this squirrel that she can save Carly and Tom replies that maybe if he eats a really big meal that he can solve hunger. The vet returns to find out if they have made a decision and Beth tells him to do the surgery. Tom leaves to help Elliot and the vet calls for his nurse to prep the squirrel for surgery.
At the party, Elliot thanks them and says that he is looking forward to gratitude sex with Maggie. Jenna says that Maggie just texted her and is on her way there and that Beth has been texting updates on the little guys surgery. Tom points out that the squirrel is not his little guy and that he is the most loved squirrel in the world. When Maggie walks in, everyone yells surprise. Elliot tells Maggie happy anniversary and Maggie asked him how he didn't know that surprise parties are her worst nightmare. Elliot tells everyone that Maggie is very happy.
Back at the vet, Beth says that she is confidant that when she gets the squirrel up and running again that Tom would appreciate all of her efforts. The vet walks into the room with the squirrel in a box and tells Beth that the squirrel didn't make it. Beth says that it's not possible but the vet assures her that they did all that they could and that it's just a squirrel. The vet hands over the box and tells Beth that she can see Gena on her way out and that if she pays cash, they will validate and incinerate.
Maggie's party is in full swing, as Beth watches Tom make mix a drink. Beth say that she is worried that her attempt to save the squirrel has caused some internal bleeding in her marriage as well. Jenna tells Beth that she gets it and that she once lost a job because she stayed home three days to nurse a lame butterfly back to health. Jenna adds that the butterfly got better and then flew into her fan. Beth asks how she could fail at something God wanted her to do. Jenna tells her that she will get through this and instructs Beth to put her present down and to ask Tom to make her a drink. Beth admits that the box she is holding is not in fact a gift but the dead squirrel. Beth asks to put the squirrel in the fridge because it is starting to smell. Jenna says that she cannot have a dead animal in there and suggests that Beth take the squirrel home and change into something more festive and come back.
