Chapter 16 Summary: “Subthalamic Nucleus: Interruptions”

On the car journey back to Houston, Bee asks Levi what he said to Tim. Levi confesses that rather than finding Bee ugly, he had always found her extremely attractive; his avoidance of her in grad school came from his inability to think clearly when she was around. Tim had lied to Levi back then, telling him that Bee knew of Levi’s interest in her and it was making him uncomfortable. He warned Levi to stay away from Bee, and at brunch, Levi called Tim out for his lies.

The conversation is interrupted by a phone call from Boris, asking them to come in immediately about an issue regarding Rocío and Kaylee. Boris informs Levi and Bee that Rocío and Kaylee have been caught having sexual intercourse, which is forbidden in the workplace. The security cameras that are on 24/7 have caught them on tape, but since Guy is a security admin, he has agreed to erase the footage. Boris will not write up a formal complaint this time, but Bee and Levi, being Rocío and Kaylee’s respective superiors, are requested to handle the issue.

Bee and Levi confront the pair after Boris’s departure and learn that Guy had caught Rocío and Kaylee having sex on Bee’s desk and reported it to Boris.
