Tom's craving that feeling of youth again. Unfortunately his body is far weaker than his mind, and despite collapsing after a run, he refuses to heed Diana's or the doctor's advice to slow down. Harvey, however, is feeling wonderful about his plans to replace all English-speaking staff with cheap immigrant workers.
