She obviously likes Tom, too, but tells him she plans to spend three years in Switzerland studying to be a pediatric surgeon. Norman urges Tom on in the affair though Tom is hesitant because it means eventually asking Liz to give up her plans for Switzerland. One night after a date, Liz tells Tom she has been accepted for study in Switzerland but tears up her acceptance letter as a commitment to Tom. It looks like Tom has found a mate until they look in on a sleeping Eddie, who is suddenly running a fever. Liz treats Eddie and in doing so she and Tom realize she must fulfill her dream to become a surgeon, thus ending the romance.
