Szymon leaves the apartment building and makes his way to Andrea Darling and Cecilia Nakamura's home where he confides in Cecilia the morning after and spends some time with his son Sammy, who is always happy to see his father.

2x11: "Family Portrait"

When Szymon arrives at the emergency room, Cecilia is waiting for him. She tells him that they don’t know what is wrong. Sammy’s been having a fever and night sweats. He’s been complaining about headaches and hasn’t been eating very much. Andrea is sitting with the boy and tells Szymon that the doctor is calling a consult. Sammy has been sick for weeks. Szymon is angry that he had to find out when his son looks close to death’s door. After realizing that getting mad at Andrea will not make his son well, Szymon apologizes.

2x12: "Wait"

Cayden finds Andrea and Cecilia and they inform him that the doctors told them that Sammy has leukemia. Cayden is shocked and asks what happens now. Andrea and Cecilia vow to be strong and urge Cayden to be watchful of Szymon. Szymon listens as the doctor goes over treatment options with him, Andrea, Cecilia and Cayden. She explains that nearly 80% of children diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia are leukemia-free for a long time afterward.

2x13: "No One"

At the hospital, Szymon, Andrea and Cecilia listen to Dr. Flores' advice that they should have Sammy undergo chemotherapy. Andrea is scared by this news and lashes out at Szymon, blaming him for giving their son leukemia and Cecilia because she always takes his side in an argument. Szymon tells Dr. Flores to go through with the treatment and tells Cecilia that she needs to get Andrea to get it together for Sammy's sake.

Cayden finds Szymon in the chapel and listens to him share his fears about Sammy. Andrea and Cecilia arrive and Andrea and Szymon forgive one another. The four of them light candles and say pray to God for Sammy's sake.

2x14: "Forget You"

When Sammy's treatments begin to fail, Dr. Flores informs them that there is still one last option, a stem cell transplant. She will start with Sammy's parents, then broaden the search if they are not matches. Andrea is crushed when she finds out that she is not a match for Sammy. Dr. Flores brings in a therapist named Tom Waterman to help and at first, Cecilia is hesitant to let him, but she understands that Andrea could use another shoulder to cry on.

2x17: "Give Me One Reason"

At the hospital, Cayden approaches Szymon to talk about things, but don’t seem to make much headway. Szymon accused him of spending all of this time and attention on other people. Cayden tells him that he doesn’t want to be around him when he acts like this, but they are interrupted when Jesse arrives and announces that he is a match Sammy’s bone marrow. Cecilia and Andrea arrive. A distraught Szymon tells him that he doesn’t want Jesse’s tainted blood in his son. Jesse says that he always knew Szymon was a hypocrite and that he is willing to let his son die. Szymon says he doesn’t want Jesse’s blood in his son’s body. Liliana tells him that it is too late for that, Jesse is his nephew and she is Szymon’s mother. They have the same blood running through their veins.

Szymon Skubisz waits in the hospital chapel as Tom Waterman arrives. The shrink is surprised that Szymon called him. Szymon admits that his concerns about Jesse and the transplant are irrational, but he is still afraid of what Sammy will inherit from his messed up lineage. Tom asks him if it is worth it to gamble and pass on this opportunity. Afterwards, Tom leaves and Andrea pleads with Szymon to let Jesse save Sammy’s life. He agrees.
