With Reid dying not long before he is set to leave for LA, Noah is convinced by Allison to comfort Luke, but while he is willing to remain in Oakdale during his time in need, Luke urges him to pursue his dream. Noah tells Luke to stay in Oakdale, grieve, and heal, and that he will be waiting for him, leaving the door open to reconciliation. Noah leaves and Luke continues to grieve Reid. In his last scene Katie, Reid's best friend and roommate, gives Luke his stethoscope saying Reid would want him to have it. Luke asks Chris, the man who received Reid's heart after he died, if he could use it to listen to his heartbeat. He says it's okay and the final shot we ever have of Luke is of him listening to Reid's heart with a sad smile on his face.
