Robert Preston is in denial about the lump Michelle found on one of his testicles, and his girlfriend's distraught when she discovers he lied about going to see a doctor. But when he gets injured, while saving Chesney's boy Joseph from getting run over, he has to be rushed to hospital where Michelle takes the opportunity to get a doctor to examine him. And when the couple learn that Robert probably has cancer, the Bistro owner tries to find solace in an old vice – gambling!
