   Summary

   When Shane gets hit with norovirus during a road trip, Ilya learns that "ginger ale" means a dozen different brands in America, and Shane's already-specific food requirements become absolutely non-negotiable. Sometimes love means three different stores at 2am and finally understanding why "close enough" will never be good enough.
