The board decide that if she is not there in five minutes they will write her off. Maggie does make it and Nathan grills her about hospital quotas. Harry interrupts and tries to defend her. Maggie gives a passionate but forceful answer about patient care. When Maggie leaves, the board discuss her interview. Nathan and Dr Greene think her answer was inappropriate but Harry defends her saying he would prefer someone who is passionate to a yes person. Later, Maggie speaks to Harry assuming she didn’t get the job. Harry winds her up for a bit pretending she didn’t get the job but then reveals the job is hers.
