However this is soon the least of Alec's worries as his annual medical says that his blood pressure is up slightly and he needs to cut back on the scotch a little and watch his diet a bit. Zoë however is convinced that Alec is about to drop at any moment and for the first time Zoë really notices the age gap between her and Alec.
