ESL/EFL Test #737 "Boat/Sailing Common Phrases (1)", answer 4

I'm sorry that you are getting divorced. I just got a divorce last year so now we're in the same boat. I know exactly how you feel right now and I'll be there for you if you someone to lean on during this difficult time.

Correct answer: (c) same
_________________________

"I'll be there for you if you someone to lean on during this difficult time."

In the above quoted clause, I think it should read: "...if you should need someone to lean on..."

"...if you someone to...' does it sound logically correct? I am not sure, hence, posting it here. Thanks!
