Off the Wagon

I'll Make You Happy
Noah shows up at the hospital in a not so good mood, and tells Robin and Patrick that Anna bailed on him, and he tells Robin "you happy?"

Mind Blowing, Headboard Banging Sex.....
Sorry, my mind is not functioning after that....hold on....ok.
Noah continues to give it to Robin good (but not in the same way that he wanted to give it to Anna good ), telling her she needs to mind her own bees wax (but not in those words). Patrick tries to take up for her, and Robin wonders why since she knows that Patrick basically agrees with Noah, and Epiphany is quick to point out that with Noah being cut off, now "Drake, JR." can make up for lost time.

Bobbie Remembers
Bobbie Runs into Noah at the Metro Court (dressed up as Eli). He has a drink and he tells her it's club soda, and she's welcome to check it if she wants (she declines, but maybe shouldn't have).
Bobbie tells Noah he's doing a very convincing job impersonating Eli. He tells her it's just an act. Bobbie reminds Noah of how he was when they first met, and wonders if he can't be more like that without losing his sobriety. (If Noah finds any more neckwear to put on, he might not be able to stand up straight, they seem to be adding something every day)

Here's to You
So we watch as the bartender pours a drink into Noah's glass. And finally, someone from Eli's camp actually shows up to check things out. He tells Noah he's doing a great job, and Noah reminds him that there's a difference between impersonating Eli at a cocktail party and belting out his greatest hits. Eli's manager (?), who looks like he might have borrowed Rick's glasses, tells him to have some faith. Noah takes a really big drink out of that glass, then smiles a wicked little smile. It does appear he's heading for trouble in a big way.

Classic Signs
Noah comes back to work, chewing a huge wad of gum (to cover up the smell, no doubt, as if that ever really works). Patrick asks him to scrub in on an operation.

Alcohol over Pride
So Noah, in order to avoid operating after having taken a drink (or two), tells Patrick he doesn't need him and that the patient couldn't be in better hands, given him what Patrick called a "surgical triumph".
