Though Tom argues that she has a right to know what was done to save her life, Ben asks him not to tell Lien about his use of the foreign drug because he doesn't want her to feel obligated to him.

Ben's caught off guard when Lien admits that her encounter with death has put her future in question and their relationship on hold.
