00:00Previously on Shortland Street.
00:01This is Kathleen.
00:02She has confirmed flu, eh?
00:03She has that new virus. I told them they should keep her here.
00:06This heart isn't meant for Esther at all.
00:08She'll never legitimately get a place on that list and you know it.
00:10Is there a problem, Chris?
00:11Chris, I can explain.
00:13No, that's what I came in to say.
00:14Let's get Esther to surgery.
00:21I'm busy, Poppy. I don't have time for whatever drama this is.
00:24Have you come into contact with her?
00:30Oh, the lovely Cleo.
00:31This patient, Kathleen.
00:33Not today.
00:33Okay, we're isolating. No one in or out of this room.
00:36What? Why?
00:37Let's keep humidified oxygen in here.
00:39And her symptoms are in line with Xavier's.
00:40If this virus is contagious, we don't know how it spreads or how fast.
00:44Okay, first of all, we don't know where it's the virus.
00:47And secondly, she tested positive for flu, eh?
00:49No, Poppy's right.
00:51Until we know what it is, it's best to be safe.
00:54I told you not to discharge her.
00:57God's sake, Poppy!
00:58No, I told you and you didn't listen to me.
01:01Typical.
01:02What?
01:03Is this really about the patient?
01:04You think I want to be tricked in here with you?
01:06Focus on her.
01:08I'll spread word of the rooms to be isolated.
01:10I'd check if anyone else came into contact with her.
01:16Right.
01:17Well, here we are.
01:20Yeah, thanks.
01:20Well, you can tell me what to do now.
01:25Oh, my God.
01:26What?
01:26You're the expert.
01:28Let's get her antivirals.
01:30Osel Tamavir seemed to work on Esther.
01:33Maybe you say.
01:38Emma!
01:38I don't want to hear it.
01:41Hey, I just come to chicken on you.
01:42See if you're all good.
01:44I'm fine.
01:45Why?
01:46Because there was a pretty stink way to treat Selena, so I thought that something might
01:49be bothering you.
01:50Distracted nurses in my ED are bothering me.
01:52People taking private conversations and broadcasting them all over the internet is bothering me.
01:56Yeah, you sure it's not more than that?
01:59Yeah, pretty sure.
02:01I just don't think she deserves you going off video like that.
02:04She's in the wrong, right?
02:06Instead of making smart alec videos, she could just be doing her actual job.
02:10So you're mad because she talked about you online?
02:12Yeah, I am.
02:13She had no right to go online and tell everyone that I've gone soft.
02:16Emma, she didn't say you're soft.
02:17Ah, yeah, she did.
02:18Please don't tell me I'm a liar.
02:20Well, what does that mean, anyway, soft?
02:23Weak.
02:24It means weak.
02:25Does it?
02:26Yeah, it does.
02:27Ah, so if you're soft, then no one will respect you?
02:30No.
02:32No one will listen to a word I say.
02:34Nothing I say will matter.
02:39God.
02:43Why am I telling you this?
02:45I don't know, but I'm glad you did.
02:48Keep doing it.
02:49Bob's a stable?
02:51Good.
02:52Rip the wire cutters, please, will you?
02:54Would you like to do the honours, Chris?
02:58Chris?
03:00Yes?
03:01The wire cutters?
03:03You do it.
03:06Look, I know Julian wants you on this case, but if you're too close to Esther...
03:10I'm fine.
03:12Let's proceed.
03:16You're going to burn a bloody hole through the floor.
03:18I just don't want to watch this part.
03:20You don't have to stay here.
03:21You go away in the ward.
03:23No, no, I'm staying.
03:25Are the kids okay?
03:26Well, they're still too young to properly understand what's going on.
03:29Lucky them.
03:30I'm a nervous wreck again, so it's good they don't have to see that.
03:33You got me.
03:35Hey.
03:36How are you going?
03:37Sorry.
03:37Silly question.
03:39It's fine.
03:39Thanks for checking in, Mom.
03:40Yeah, well, you know, I care about you, obviously, but unfortunately, I'm here for Gia.
03:45You'll need her back in ED.
03:46What?
03:47I was literally just there.
03:48Yeah, stunning timing.
03:49Something about Poppy being in isolation or something, but yeah, just don't shoot the
03:54messenger.
03:54Fine.
03:54I'll be back when I can.
03:56Kia kaha.
03:56Yeah.
03:58I can stay for a bit.
03:59Thanks, Mom.
04:01I was just on the phone to TK.
04:03Kauai's family are organising arrangements for the heart.
04:06Hi.
04:06I know they must be really weird to talk about.
04:10Hey, Brinton.
04:11Good.
04:11I'll start the arterial cannula and the ascending aorta for bypass.
04:14Are you happy to take the venus?
04:16Entercom, please.
04:18Monique.
04:19Is there a problem?
04:20Everything's fine, Chris.
04:23Just focus on Esther.
04:25Right.
04:27We're getting a venus cannula for bypass.
04:30Ah, man, I'm three, three, four, just charge.
04:31Just need your sign off.
04:32All right.
04:33How drunk teenage are in room seven?
04:35Raving and love and pretty drunk.
04:38Ha!
04:38Well, let me know him when he sobers up, will you?
04:40Selina.
04:41Yeah, um, I settled Beth in room two.
04:44I just need an order at x-ray for a potentially fractured ankle.
04:47Okay.
04:47I'll get it out.
04:49Great.
04:50Two.
04:52Give him a chance.
04:54I already gave him one.
04:56Yeah, there's some pretty ugly swelling there.
04:59I'm afraid x-ray may be quite a wait.
05:01Okay.
05:02How's your pain relief?
05:03Good.
05:04Okay, well, I'll be back to check on you soon.
05:08Selina.
05:09Wait.
05:10Mm-hmm.
05:11What can I do for you?
05:12You want to take another shot?
05:13I shouldn't have said that.
05:14Okay.
05:15Well, go on then.
05:16But make it quick because I've got to go and do it.
05:18Oh, look at me.
05:19I've had a cancer scare video.
05:21I was out of line.
05:22You reckon?
05:23I just, I don't want people online knowing about my personal life.
05:27Because God forbid everyone finds out that you've got emotions like the rest of us.
05:31Selina, I'm sorry.
05:34Please.
05:35Okay.
05:36Okay.
05:37That's it.
05:37We're done?
05:38No, no.
05:39You're buying me lunch.
05:40Done.
05:41And I am working late tonight, so you're going to order in dinner too.
05:44No, now you're pushing it.
05:45Yeah, worth a try.
05:48Hey.
05:49Coffee's out.
05:50She and Cleo are in isolation while they work out what their patient's got.
05:53Yeah.
05:54Terrific.
05:55And here was I thinking everything was starting to run smoothly again.
06:00Since administering the antiviral, her odds are stable and temps lowered.
06:04Keep an eye on her.
06:05Let me know if anything changes.
06:07Chris should know about this.
06:08Can we get him down here?
06:09Uh, he's busy.
06:11Oh, um, how is this surgery going?
06:13Oh, God, sorry.
06:15They had barely started when I was there.
06:17According to Mom, so far so good.
06:20Sorry you can't be up here.
06:22Can't be helped.
06:24Hope you didn't drag Jay away from Esther for nothing.
06:27You know people have already died from this.
06:29I'm not just making it up.
06:31Wouldn't be unlike you to bend the truth, though, would it?
06:34Oh.
06:36Oh.
06:37Let's go in here, Kathleen.
06:38My head.
06:39Okay, is it more of like a sharp pain or more dull?
06:42It's sharp.
06:44Whoa.
06:45What?
06:46BP shot up 130 over 80.
06:48Has this happened with the others?
06:50Uh, the head pain, yes.
06:51The BP?
06:52Um, maybe this is a new symptom.
06:54No, wait, maybe this did happen with Esther.
06:56Let me check.
07:00Well?
07:01Uh, no, no, it didn't.
07:04Great, so this is a new symptom.
07:06I don't know, just, um, give me...
07:08I'm going to put a dinner.
07:09Just give me a minute.
07:10Okay?
07:14Nothing?
07:16No, it's hard to find through all the swelling.
07:19Surgical consult?
07:20Not here.
07:21It's next door.
07:22Can't find the pedal pulse?
07:23Not yet.
07:24May I?
07:26Unless I'd be stepping on your toes, of course.
07:29Be my guest.
07:29Well, a man with manners.
07:32So rare nowadays.
07:35The swelling is intense, but...
07:38Got it.
07:40Strong.
07:42Glove low's fine.
07:44Shouldn't be any more than a bad fracture.
07:46You always did ever feel for that.
07:48Mm, a gentle touch.
07:49But that doesn't mean I'm a pushover.
07:53Don't I know it?
07:54What the hell was that?
07:58What?
07:59I've never seen anyone go through red so quickly.
08:01No, you don't know what you're talking about.
08:03Something that I am not aware of here.
08:06Like what?
08:07Something between me two.
08:10We're colleagues.
08:11We used to work together.
08:12Ah, that's what you used to call it back then.
08:15Selina.
08:15Hey, no, your secret's safe with me.
08:17But I did pick up on some serious wipes.
08:22Really?
08:22Yeah, anyone with two eyes could tell
08:24that there's definitely unfinished business there.
08:27What unfinished business?
08:29Ah, nothing, no.
08:31It's good.
08:32We should...
08:32Let's get back to work.
08:34Okay, yeah, sure.
08:34Keep your secrets.
08:35I have ways.
08:38Wise poppy, I better...
08:39I need a sign-off.
08:42Okay.
08:42Bypass is up and running.
08:45Ready for cardioplegia solution, Willie?
08:50Administering initial bolus.
08:52Heart has stopped.
08:58I'll begin the cardiectomy.
08:5920 blade, please, Billy.
09:03Look at them, just chatting away.
09:06Like it's nothing.
09:06When Esther's whole chest is just, like, wide...
09:10Sorry.
09:11Oh, my God.
09:11I don't know what's wrong with me.
09:12It's like my filter's left the building or something.
09:14You're just nervous.
09:15I mean, yeah.
09:17Obviously.
09:19But you must be losing your mind.
09:20I wanted this.
09:22Yeah, obviously.
09:23We all did.
09:25Yeah, of course.
09:26I still can't believe they okayed her to receive a new heart at eight weeks pregnant.
09:31Esther is well aware of the risks to the fetus.
09:34She knows it's not likely to survive.
09:36Hey, mate.
09:38Hey.
09:38True.
09:38Hey.
09:39Good.
09:39Um, I'm going to get you coffee or something.
09:42Thanks, ma'am.
09:43Need you then?
09:47Just...
09:47Just her to live.
09:50Sorry.
09:51Sorry, that was thoughtless.
09:53It's fine.
09:55You're living through a nightmare.
09:57And Hayther did wife club doesn't need any more members right now, either.
10:02So how do you do it?
10:03Without her?
10:05Badly.
10:07I'm sorry, mate.
10:08I'm pretty bad company right now.
10:10That's not what I'm here for.
10:11It's definitely a bit weird.
10:14Incredible.
10:15But weird.
10:15Well, Esther's the one they've given the heart to, so can we just focus, please?
10:19Damn it.
10:20There's a bleed from the aortic cannula.
10:23Come on, Chris.
10:25Come on, we can't lose her now.
10:28True IV.
10:29I have.
10:29That was the first thing I did.
10:31No improvement?
10:32Nothing.
10:33If we can't get a blood pressure down, we risk organ damage.
10:35Is there an underlying condition we're missing?
10:38It's the virus.
10:39And why aren't the antivirals working?
10:41Maybe it's not the virus, Poppy.
10:43It is.
10:44Back her with a cooling blanket for now.
10:46Wait, hang on.
10:47What about a cool lavage?
10:48If we bring her temperature down, it might help?
10:50You could cool down all her organs with it.
10:51Too risky.
10:52I've seen people die of this virus.
10:54Xavier crashed and died within an hour.
10:56I won't let the same happen to Kathleen.
10:58If we do the cooling lavage, it would bring her blood pressure down enough to pump more antivirals in.
11:03She's right.
11:04Have you done one before?
11:06I won't.
11:07No, but I can work it out.
11:08You can walk her through?
11:09Yeah.
11:10Maybe I should take this one.
11:13Be my guest.
11:14Okay.
11:15I think I like the scratch phrase.
11:17Okay, I need cool fluids at Kepeda.
11:19Already on it.
11:22Thanks.
11:24What for?
11:25Having my back.
11:28It's for the patient.
11:31Of course.
11:31I'm good.
11:36It's got bourbon in it from Julian's office dish.
11:40Thanks.
11:42So what have I missed?
11:44She had a bleed from the aortic bypass cannula side.
11:48Okay.
11:48How worried should I be?
11:50I look bad for a minute, but Kristen knows I've got it under control.
11:53Don't know how to.
11:53Looks in good condition, and the anastomosis should be fairly seamless.
11:59Such a gift.
12:09Is there a problem with the heart, Chris?
12:11Okay, I don't want to scare anyone, but we are running out our viability on the heart,
12:20so we need to make a move.
12:25Heart rate's steady.
12:27You're doing great, Kathleen.
12:29Is that the full two litres?
12:30Yep.
12:31Good.
12:32Drain it now.
12:34Are you sure you don't want to break?
12:35Give it more time to absorb the heat?
12:36Yes, but we need to keep a record of exactly how much fluid comes out to avoid fluid imbalance.
12:42Exactly right, Cleo.
12:44Got it.
12:45BP 125 over 70.
12:47It's dropping.
12:49Good work.
12:51Oh.
12:53You can get there.
12:54Are you sure?
12:55Yeah, we've got it.
12:57Keep an eye on her body tan.
12:59Duh.
13:00Of course, anything above two degrees per hour is bad news.
13:04Yes, I know.
13:05So, maybe I should stay...
13:07Lady Anne, we've got this.
13:10Okay.
13:15I was just thinking you should check for thermal burn.
13:18Yes, I have been.
13:19Because the risks of that are high, and I actually think Kathleen could deal with some peace and
13:22quiet right now.
13:23And don't forget to watch out for rebound hypothermia!
13:26Oh, my God.
13:28What?
13:30Have you two been, like, obsessed with each other all week?
13:32Are you kidding me?
13:33She's been driving me insane.
13:34She's micromerging me like crazy, I can't really think.
13:37Right?
13:38That's what I'm talking about.
13:39It's so annoying.
13:41And this weird, like, sexual energy thing you've been telling me about, it's so intense,
13:46and it's...
13:46She's just, like...
13:47On the prowl?
13:48Yeah.
13:49Full-body cringe.
13:50I've missed you.
13:55Me too.
14:00Here she comes.
14:03Hi.
14:03It looks like you're all right, Dr. Chowdy.
14:05How about?
14:06Uh, just a fraction.
14:07Okay.
14:08Uh, how's her cold lavage?
14:10Fine.
14:10Barely kneeled me there, actually.
14:15Marianne.
14:15Yes?
14:17I was just thinking it's been a while since we talked.
14:20I don't think we ever did much talking, actually.
14:22Oh, right.
14:23So, um, you know, I thought maybe we could...
14:25What?
14:26Is everything okay?
14:27Why wouldn't it be?
14:28No.
14:29Yeah, no, that's right.
14:30I just thought maybe...
14:31Look, is this work-related?
14:34Because I've got a patient waiting.
14:36Right.
14:37Yeah.
14:37What were you going to say?
14:40Nothing.
14:40Just, you know, thanks.
14:42Bring me that.
14:43No worries.
14:47Just finishing the pulmonary anestomosis.
14:50Say nine, please.
14:51Wash the cardioplasia solution.
14:54Here you go.
14:55And I've got the protamine ready to go to reverse the heparin.
14:58You've done an excellent job, Billy.
15:00I'm just glad this is going to be okay.
15:02We should all be proud.
15:03I mean, we've achieved the world's first transplant on a pregnant patient.
15:06I'm already drafting a case study.
15:07Happy for you to co-author, Chris.
15:09At least wait until she's off the bypass before we start making assumptions.
15:13Of course.
15:14Let's get her off bypass.
15:18It's your time to shine, Esther.
15:23This part never gets old.
15:26Nelson, would you mind closing up?
15:28Are you all right?
15:30Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
15:31I just want to give Marty the good news.
15:39It's done.
15:50I thought I was going to lose her.
15:52You still might.
15:54I'm sorry?
15:55She's never going to forgive us for this.
15:57Hello?
16:09Oh, come on.
16:10You're not just going to leave me hanging.
16:12Mariana?
16:14Forget it.
16:15Sure, if that's what you want.
16:17But you'd be crazy not to ask her out because she's fully...
16:19I did ask her out.
16:20She wasn't interested, clearly.
16:23I was, uh...
16:25Happy now?
16:26What?
16:26Why would I be happy?
16:29I'm sorry.
16:31I'm sorry, she...
16:32I don't want to be patronised.
16:34That's not what I'm doing.
16:35Isn't it?
16:36Then what is all this?
16:38All what?
16:39You encouraging me, telling me there's unfinished business.
16:42Okay, I get that you're upset, but what you're not going to do is take this out on me.
16:46I'm not upset.
16:48Here we go.
16:49Oh, what's that supposed to mean?
16:50You guys all good?
16:51Yeah, fine.
16:52How hard is it to say that you're upset?
16:54Just, let's just...
16:55No, no, no.
16:56If you're going to say you're part of the family, then you should be able to open up.
16:59Just leave it alone.
17:00Yeah, let's just call it off.
17:01I put my heart out to you.
17:02I told you my deepest fears and you can't even admit that you're upset.
17:05That is not how friendship works.
17:07Well, maybe I'm not your friend.
17:09Maybe I'm your boss.
17:11Now, I know you all like sitting around a fire eating burnt marshmallows, singing boo-hoo songs together,
17:15but I don't need it in my ED.
17:17You know what?
17:17I won't.
17:18I won't be doing anything in your ED.
17:20Good, because I don't want you in there.
17:22Fine.
17:25Don't.
17:25Billy, you're real funny.
17:41And Sky, you're really good at sharing.
17:45She is very good at sharing, especially for a little three-year-old.
17:49And Dad, you give the best hugs.
17:52Thank you, Marley.
17:53I appreciate that.
17:54And how about you, buddy?
17:55What do you love about yourself?
17:58Um...
17:58Well, I can give you lots of ideas if you want.
18:00No, it's okay.
18:01I think I'm really strong, like, on the inside.
18:07Bang on.
18:07You are very, very strong on the inside.
18:11And hey, you three, it has been a huge week, hasn't it?
18:14A massive week, but we have to remember to be patient and very kind to each other.
18:19Can we do this every night?
18:20Tell each other things we love about one another, yeah?
18:24Can we sleep here every night?
18:27Well, we can do the sleepover thing while you two get the bedroom situation sorted out,
18:34but pretty happy with the setup, to be honest.
18:37I'm happy if you're happy.
18:38Well, then I'm very happy.
18:41I'm sleepy.
18:41Well, I am sleepy, too.
18:46Might be time to go to sleep, eh, T?
18:48What do you think?
18:49Yeah.
18:49Well, this is a dream.
19:01I can't believe it.
19:03I know.
19:07It looks like you've done six hours of surgery.
19:12I suppose you did.
19:14It was pretty terrifying.
19:16But it's all done now.
19:18We don't have to think about that ever again.
19:20And then, guess what?
19:22I got them to check the baby's heartbeat.
19:25It's still there.
19:27What?
19:29There's light.
19:30Oh, no.
19:34Wow.
19:36I want to know everything.
19:40How or when.
19:42Yeah, of course you do.
19:44Now I was going to run you through every detail of it, okay?
19:46I can see Chris is standing by.
19:56Yes.
19:57What?
19:58What?
20:00Your placement on the list.
20:05What about it?
20:07They would never have given you another heart if they knew you were pregnant.
20:10What did you do?
20:11What did you do?
20:15I don't actually know.
20:19What do you mean?
20:20I went to Julian.
20:23And I told him to do whatever it took.
20:27And I don't know what he did.
20:30But I'm glad he did it because you're here.
20:33But I am sorry that I lied to you.
20:36I wish you'd do that to me again.
20:47That was kind of sick.
20:49Yeah, I have never seen her calling lavage before.
20:52Thanks for the backup.
20:53No worries.
20:56Cleo, I'm really sorry about Logan.
20:59Yeah?
21:00Just wanted to say congratulations.
21:03For?
21:03You were right about the virus.
21:05It's a new strain of para-influenza.
21:07They're calling it HPIV5.
21:09What?
21:10Are you serious?
21:10I don't have all the details yet,
21:12but the virologist seems to think it's something similar
21:14to the existing para-influenza types.
21:16Can be dangerous.
21:17They're immunocompromised.
21:19Bobby, that's insane.
21:21That is beyond cool.
21:24Well done.
21:24You're an example to your peers.
21:27Got cover for us to come in in.
21:30Keep up the good work.
21:31We'll talk soon.
21:34Wow.
21:35Okay, I guess...
21:37Okay.
21:39Are you kidding?
21:40How many people get to say they discovered a new virus?
21:43I know.
21:44Oh, God.
21:45This is so exciting.
21:46We've got to celebrate, right?
21:47A drink?
21:49You don't have to.
21:51Nah.
21:51Let's do it.
21:53Do you think they're going to name it after me?
21:55What?
21:55The poppy virus?
21:57I mean, maybe.
21:57We've just got to keep a chartie out of it,
21:59or my mum will try and call her.
22:00Yeah.
22:01She so will.
22:02She will.
22:06Hey.
22:08What are you doing here?
22:10Julian asked me to come in.
22:11Cover for Esther.
22:13It's good to see you.
