As they rehearsed their heated discussion, Penny took off her jacket and held it in the crook of her arm, revealing her toned arms.

It was then time to film the scene, at which point she put her jacket back on. Later on, she and Ditch turned to their director for notes. 

Ditch’s character, Dr Green, appeared upset during the scene as Dr Morgan looked to be explaining something important to him.
