Mel came to work at Cedars hospital shortly after graduating medical school. She soon developed a relationship with her supervisor Rick Bauer after he protected her from an abusive ex-boyfriend. Their relationship took some time to develop due to his involvement with Harley and their son. When she finally went with Gus, Rick and Mel began dating, despite protests from her family. Their heavy work loads added stress to the relationship, but she proposed to him after their first night together. He happily accepted, but almost died during their engagement from a heart disease. In order to get him a heart transplant, she covered up for the possible murder of Richard Winslow so that she could take his heart. She was severely disciplined by the hospital administration until it came out that Reva pulled the plug on Richard. This combined with a little medical heroism (saving Eden August's life) led to her return to Cedars. Nursing Rick back to health brought them closer as did the announcement of her pregnancy, but she surprised everyone around her by announcing that she would now return to law school. With her new career, she devoted much of her energy to charity work and competition with Jeffrey O'Neil. She soon gave birth to Leah and found herself a helpful ally and confidant to the Cooper family, but, despite her growing place in Rick's life, the death of his best friend Phillip left him cold and distant. He soon looked to Phillip's wife Beth for support and this, combined with other deceptions and his involvement in Ross' death, further strained things. While the couple tried to sustain the relationship for the sake of Leah, she found herself unable to trust him anymore. The marriage collapsed completely when Jonathan announced that Beth and Rick were having an affair. She left him and the hospital, deciding to open a new law firm with Jeffrey.

Remy and Christina return to Springfield and hurry to the courthouse to get un-married. She's furious that this happened and she doesn't even know his middle name. "It's 'Tucson'," he explains. She doesn't care. They bicker until Mel walks by and starts laughing when she hears Christina say that they're married. They go into the courtroom and tell Mel the story. Christina is insistent that the marriage was never consummated. Mel says an annulment takes time. Christina stumbles away, leaving him to sort it out. Mel tells his brother that Christina could actually be good for him; they already argue like a married couple. He forbids her to tell their parents about this and walks out. She laughs.
Remy goes to see Christina at the gym. She tells him it will cost him 90 dollars an hour for her services. That's not why he's there. He feels terrible that her score on the MCATs was so bad and urges her not to give up. "I'll just work harder and sleep less. I've had to work for everything in my life... unlike some people," she snipes before walking away. He works out for awhile. She returns. He argues with her and tells her that her attitude sucks. She thinks that he's a 'golden child' and gets everything handed to him. "You just make things too hard," he says. He can handle pressure instead of putting everything on his back. As he walks out, Mel watches from the doorway. When she walks in, she tells Christina that lots of people have to take the test more than once. Christina has already signed up to write it again and hopes one day she can do an internship with her. Mel says it takes more than grades to be a good doctor, it takes compassion and suggests that she have some for her brother. She tells her about the baby he lost, Ava leaving and Tammy dying. Christina didn't know about any of that. Mel suggests that she do her homework next time and walks out. Christina sighs.
Mel runs into Jeffrey in the convenience store. He is buying flowers for Reva and insists he hasn't done anything wrong. She asks him about his job in D.C. He's vague.
