Coy asked him to look in on Hope.  Hope asked him to help Coy.
It's a regular O Henry tale...

Donna Lee: Charlie Parker ringing changes on Carry Me Back to Indiana

where there are sax players, there is Donna Lee...

Once conceived of as the symbol of freedom for youth, the rock band,
pressed into service for commerce, is Coy's prison.

Running a big open house or constant party sounds like a lot
of fun, but somebody having that kind of fun usually means
a bunch of other somebodies stoking the fun, and still other
somebodies cleaning up the inevitable messes...

anyway, the whole scene probably struck many people as canned,
zombified, Doc goes from admiring the appointments ("this isn't as
unhip as most rich people's places") to when he really gets a whiff
of the vibes getting as creeped out as one might when reading about, say,
Elvis's private life for instance, or some [but not all] other entertainers.

To feel a human connection to one in the midst of this
is to feel pity and terror.

There's a parallel between Coy here and Coy at Chryskylodon.
He's a bit freer in the loony bin, isn't he?

anyway, Doc unfocusses his eyes for a second and Coy disappears.
