00:01Previously on Doc, Dr. Larson was in a car accident.
00:04He has no recollection of the last eight years.
00:07Dr. Larson, she's the reason we're here.
00:09If I'd had my memories, none of this would have happened.
00:12My home is the house where Michael lives with his new wife and baby.
00:16Half of me is trapped in that time, and the other half wants a man that I don't even remember.
00:23I get you want Jake, and to be the doctor you were.
00:26I had a memory. I need all of it back.
00:29Put me in the tank.
00:37How far along?
00:39Oh, I'm not sure.
00:41Oh, your old bee should be able to tell you.
00:43Yeah, I don't have one.
00:52You all right?
00:54I've been having stomach pains.
00:57Some of my sisters said I should get it checked out, so I'm on my way to Westside Hospital.
01:09Seems like someone's really trying to get a hold of you.
01:11I think not everyone wanted me to leave.
01:13And where are you from?
01:17Uh...
01:19I'm really not supposed to stay.
01:23Anything?
01:37Nothing.
01:39Let me out.
01:41Listen, one memory means more are possible, but that one took months, so maybe try to be patient.
01:53It's just an issue of me remembering who I am, so I have a prayer of somehow being whole.
01:59No biggie.
02:01It's been a rough 24 hours.
02:03Why don't you go home?
02:05Get some rest.
02:07Oh!
02:08Oh, you!
02:09Joan!
02:10Where did you get back?
02:11Yesterday.
02:12Oh!
02:13Jetleg's killing me.
02:14I thought you had two more weeks.
02:15Five months is enough of Burma.
02:16You know?
02:17Even I'd probably stay home from work the day after being held hostage.
02:18Oh, you wouldn't.
02:19Anyway, I'm not working.
02:20I was just too tired to make it out the door.
02:21Well, you look fantastic.
02:22You can't even tell you were in a car wreck.
02:23You have to be inside my head for that.
02:24Look.
02:25Look.
02:26Look.
02:27Look.
02:28Look.
02:29Look.
02:30Look.
02:31Look.
02:32Look.
02:33Look.
02:34Look.
02:35Look.
02:36Look.
02:37Look.
02:38Look.
02:39Look.
02:40Look.
02:41Look.
02:42Look.
02:43Look.
02:44Look.
02:45So I guess you're not jockeying for the old job just yet?
02:48Are you kidding?
02:49I'm an intern now.
02:51Come.
02:52There's some infants I want you to meet.
02:55Allow me to introduce my students.
02:58Uh, David, Ava, Sam.
03:00So you're the legendary Dr. Amy Larson.
03:02You know who I am?
03:04Best pupil she's ever had.
03:05And the gold standard we should all aspire to.
03:08Though, sadly, we will never measure up.
03:11All that time you were looking at your phones, you were actually listening to me.
03:15Ha!
03:22Okay.
03:23Onward, my motley crew.
03:30You're working today?
03:32Um, yeah.
03:33I just figured it'd be good for morale.
03:35What about you?
03:36I just wanted to see TJ.
03:38Then I'm going on the crash.
03:39Well, um, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then.
03:43I can't take it anymore.
03:44Look, I've tried everything.
03:46Sugar, vinegar, holding my breath, pulling my tongue, even digital rectal massage.
03:48Is that a thing?
03:49Modern medicine, sadly.
03:50Hiccups still mystify most practitioners.
03:51I've tried everything.
03:52Uh, sugar, vinegar, holding my breath, pulling my tongue, even digital rectal massage.
03:59Is that a thing?
04:00Modern medicine, sadly.
04:01Hiccups still mystify most practitioners, forcing us to rely on silly home remedies.
04:06Which is why I am compelled to introduce these wannabes and myself.
04:12Hi, I'm Dr. Ridley.
04:13I'll take a cure from anyone.
04:14Well, thankfully, Dr. Ridley's not just anyone.
04:15She's an instructor of medicine and surgery with privileges here at Westside.
04:18So apparently this poor soul has had hiccups for 11 days.
04:23Right on cue.
04:25Still a long way from the world record.
04:2668 years.
04:27Uh, not helpful.
04:28Even worse.
04:29Irrelevant.
04:30Sam?
04:31Family history of hiccups?
04:32There's absolutely no genetic conditions that cause this.
04:34The scans show anything?
04:35All negative.
04:36No stroke or MS.
04:37Hardly inspiring, Dave.
04:38I'll take a cure from anyone.
04:39I'll take a cure from anyone.
04:40Well, thankfully, Dr. Ridley's not just anyone.
04:41She's an instructor of medicine and surgery with privileges here at Westside.
04:43So apparently this poor soul has had hiccups for 11 days.
04:46Right on cue.
04:48Still a long way from the world record.
04:4968 years.
04:50Not helpful.
04:51Even worse.
04:52Irrelevant.
04:53Sam?
04:54Family history of hiccups?
04:55There's absolutely no genetic conditions that cause this.
04:56Hardly inspiring, David.
04:57Wow me, Ava.
04:58Adam, any chance you recall the events leading up to the hiccups?
05:01Yeah.
05:02It was, uh, Sunday.
05:03Gonna have a routine.
05:05Woke up.
05:06Denver omelet.
05:07Uh, went to the gym.
05:09So, no one's gonna ask about the tattoos?
05:12Are they medically relevant?
05:13You can't know unless you ask, and anyone with that many tattoos wants you to ask.
05:17Aw, so what's your story?
05:19I am an artist.
05:20Mm.
05:21Uh, about three years ago, I lost my studio in a fire, along with all my work.
05:25So, I started to use my body as a canvas.
05:28Now I can never lose my art.
05:30Dress my mind.
05:31Let's see what we can do about that.
05:32Doctor made for tri-baclifan.
05:33Or hiccups?
05:34It's like a sledgehammer.
05:35Subtleties overrated.
05:36Hey there.
05:37I was looking for you.
05:38Why aren't you home?
05:39I'm heading there now.
05:40I just, we...
05:41We didn't get a chance to talk last night.
05:42No, we didn't.
05:43This is big for you, Michael.
05:44And I wanted to say congrats.
05:45Thank you, Amy.
05:46How's it, Amy?
05:47Good.
05:48Good.
05:49Does he have a name yet?
05:50Still working on it.
05:51I'd better get back.
05:52Yeah.
05:53I'm so glad you're okay.
05:54He's ready for me.
05:55We all started to talk, Sam.
05:56Do you have a chance to talk last night?
05:57No, we didn't.
05:58This is big for you, Michael.
06:00And I wanted to say congrats.
06:02Thank you, Amy.
06:03How's it, Amy?
06:04Good.
06:05Good.
06:06Does he have a name yet?
06:07Still working on it.
06:11I'd, uh, I'd better get back.
06:12I'd better get back.
06:13Yeah.
06:14I'm so glad you're okay.
06:28Dr. Larson?
06:30Sorry, I just...
06:31Can you come take a look at my patient?
06:33All the OBs are busy, and there's something weird.
06:36Sure.
06:39Megan, this is Dr. Larson.
06:41Nice to meet you.
06:42Um, so what's going on?
06:45She's presenting with abdominal pain, soreness, and nausea.
06:49The ER gave her meds to ease the pain.
06:51My doula wasn't worried,
06:53but I just want to make sure my baby's okay.
06:55So you don't have a doctor?
06:58Where I live, it's a tight-knit community.
07:00Kind of off the grid.
07:02We don't believe in traditional medicine.
07:05I know what you're thinking, but, uh...
07:07Our only concern is that you and your baby get what you need.
07:10We do.
07:11Moms-to-be are given the priority.
07:13I get the best food, longest showers, warmest blankets.
07:19Um...
07:20I'd love to take a look, so I'm gonna do another ultrasound.
07:23So, um, no one came with you?
07:30No.
07:31My baby's dad left a few months ago.
07:35He doesn't live with us anymore.
07:36It's okay.
07:38I'm really lucky.
07:39My kid will be raised by 20 people instead of just two.
07:43Um, this shouldn't take well.
07:45Oh, it's cold.
07:46Oh, it's cold.
07:47Sorry.
07:59I need help.
08:00Why are you still here?
08:01I was sleeping.
08:02But I got pulled into a consult.
08:04Okay.
08:05Patient is presenting as seven months pregnant.
08:07Rounded belly, pronounced breast changes,
08:10sensation of fetal movement, came in with abdominal pain,
08:14worried about the baby.
08:15And what did the ultrasound show?
08:17A concerning mass.
08:18We need a CT and a biopsy right away.
08:21So why do you need me?
08:22Because of what it didn't show.
08:24There's no baby in her uterus.
08:27Blood work shows that there never was.
08:34What are you doing here?
08:36Uh, I just...
08:36I can't right now, just give me a minute.
08:42Did you start my patient on furosemide?
08:46Yeah, her O2 sats were dropped.
08:48She has chronic kidney failure.
08:50I checked her lab.
08:51She regrets she could handle a gentle diuresis.
08:53She's already on a nascent hameter.
08:54You just doubled down on renal risk.
08:56Which is why I started her on vasopressin.
08:58That raised her blood pressure,
08:59but didn't address her heart failure
09:01or low ejection fraction.
09:04So, what did she need, Dr. Clarke?
09:07Do you have any idea what you're doing?
09:13An eindentrope.
09:15Now I have to explain to her daughter
09:17why she has a tube jammed down her trachea
09:20when she was turning a corner this morning.
09:22Lucy, 7-0-E-T-T,
09:24autonomate and sucks, stat.
09:27This is the big leagues, Brian.
09:28If you're gonna bring your double-A game,
09:30the least you could do is consult me
09:31when you're covering one of my patients.
09:32Well, we can't all be as brilliant as you.
09:34No, that's why you call me.
09:36I assume you can handle the intubation.
09:41So what did you tell her?
09:42Nothing.
09:43I don't know how long she's been living
09:45in this sect or cult or whatever it is
09:47or what she knows about medicine.
09:49Okay, good.
09:50Because pseudocycis has to be handled very delicately.
09:53The safest path forward is to treat Megan
09:55as if she's really pregnant.
09:56Lie to her.
09:57Yes.
09:59And throw full disclosure out the window.
10:01Do no harm has to come first.
10:02I'm not sure that enabling a delusion
10:05qualifies as do no harm.
10:06This is a delusion so powerful,
10:08her body's compensated for it.
10:10Telling her the truth now could have her bolt
10:12before you can even biopsy the mass.
10:14But won't feeding a delusion this deep
10:17make breaking it even harder?
10:19Yes.
10:20And when that time comes,
10:21I'll help her confront it.
10:23But because you're the one lying to her,
10:25you'll have to rip off the Band-Aid.
10:33What's wrong?
10:36I think I'm having a delayed reaction to the tank.
10:38You're having memories?
10:39I mean, they're not like the memories
10:40that I had when I was with Alex.
10:41They're just weird flashes without any context.
10:44Like a piece of cake, a glass of wine, flowers.
10:48I think I'm in a restaurant,
10:49but I have no idea with who or why it matters.
10:53If they're triggered by your environment,
10:54it's probably good you stay here today.
10:56Maybe you'll get a hit that gives you some clarity.
11:02How about Sean?
11:05Are you a Sean?
11:07No, he doesn't like that one either.
11:09He's rolled out all my names so far.
11:12Ryan, Archie, Sutton.
11:14Well, I wasn't gonna name my son Sutton.
11:19How about Simon?
11:23For my dad.
11:29Hey, new parents.
11:31Congrats.
11:32Can I steal him a moment?
11:34I assume you mean Michael?
11:35So, when are you taking your paternity leave?
11:39I figured in a month or two,
11:40when the baby nurse leaves.
11:42Sooner is better.
11:43Like today.
11:44This is about what happened with Yunos.
11:46You put our accreditation at risk and you left me and the board unprepared to deal with the fallout.
11:52I'm sorry.
11:53You did what you could under impossible circumstances.
11:56That's what I've told everyone.
11:58Because you've been here seven months and I'm the one who hired you,
12:01I will take the heat if we need to make a change.
12:03You can't be serious.
12:04Take your paternity leave now.
12:06Let the smoke clear and by the time you get back,
12:08the board will have moved on to a different target.
12:10What about a new chief?
12:11I'd like that to be my hire.
12:13You can wait.
12:14And if I find someone, I'll give you a chance at betting them.
12:18Now go, be with your family.
12:27Hey there.
12:28Hey.
12:31My mom's to her?
12:33Where else would I be?
12:35Hi baby.
12:37You feeling okay?
12:38Yeah.
12:39You didn't tell Liz any family secrets, did you?
12:42Well, actually she told me all about your obsessions with Uncrustables.
12:45Hey, TJ.
12:47How are you feeling?
12:48Good.
12:49Better when I can get out of here.
12:51What do you think, Doc?
12:52Couple days?
12:53Mind if I have a look?
12:58Ooh.
12:58Nice job with the wound closure.
13:00You are healing well, but I'm afraid you need to lower your expectations
13:06about how soon you're getting back to normal.
13:08Your muscle was badly torn up by the bullet.
13:11You're lucky we could save the leg.
13:13You can probably go home in about a week, but you're going to need a lot of rehab to
13:17get your strength back.
13:18How long we talking?
13:20Maybe six months before you can walk normally again.
13:23About a year before you can run or play sports.
13:26Yep.
13:26I'll check on you later, but if you need to get up, call someone.
13:30If he knew you like I do, no way it will take that long.
13:37Sure.
13:40Gotta go, but Dad will be by later.
13:43He should still get some rest.
13:44I'm okay.
13:46How you doing?
13:47I got snacks.
13:48I'm good.
13:49I mean after yesterday.
13:50Been through much worse.
13:55Besides, I'm not the one who got hit in the head.
14:00You got your CT yet?
14:01Yep, all good.
14:02I'm gonna take two Tylenol and call myself in the morning.
14:08Listen, about the other day, I...
14:10No, I told you.
14:11We're good.
14:12Anyway, doesn't matter.
14:13Amy, I'm sorry.
14:14I'm sorry.
14:15I'm sorry.
14:16I'm sorry.
14:17I'm sorry.
14:18I'm sorry.
14:19I'm sorry.
14:20I'm sorry.
14:21I'm sorry.
14:22I'm sorry.
14:23I'm sorry.
14:24I'm sorry.
14:25I'm sorry.
14:26I'm sorry.
14:27I'm sorry.
14:28I'm sorry.
14:29Anyway, doesn't matter.
14:30Amy and me, we're not together anymore, so...
14:33Well, I'm sorry.
14:36No, you're not, but thank you for trying.
14:40Well, I am sorry you're hurting.
14:42But yeah, you deserve better.
14:45I appreciate it.
14:48The scan will give us a clearer picture of what's causing your discomfort.
14:52This is Dr. Walker.
14:54She'll assist.
14:56A few questions before we get started.
14:58Uh, when did you know you were pregnant?
15:00Well, I missed my period.
15:02Just thought it was late.
15:03A few weeks after that, I guess.
15:05So, five months ago.
15:07And when did the pain start?
15:09Three, four weeks ago.
15:11Did your baby have a growth spurt around that time?
15:15Yeah.
15:16That's when I really started showing.
15:18Do you have any family we can contact?
15:21No.
15:22Uh, I was raised in foster care.
15:24Moved around a lot.
15:25Uh, I have a brother, but we got separated when I was 11.
15:29Haven't spoken since.
15:31Okay.
15:32Let's get you into the scan.
15:34Oh, good.
15:35I'm not too late.
15:36Anne?
15:37Um, sorry, who are you?
15:38I am Megan's family, and you may not do a CT scan on her.
15:42We don't take orders from you.
15:44It's bad for the baby.
15:45It is?
15:46No.
15:47It's an acceptable level of radiation, given our concerns and what we need to look for.
15:51You need to come home now.
15:52Okay, I will.
15:53Megan.
15:55I'm sorry, Sister Anne.
15:56I just had to make sure the baby's okay.
15:58We'll take care of you both.
15:59You can't trust these people.
16:00She can, and she clearly knows that, or she wouldn't have traveled four hours to get here.
16:05Megan.
16:06I can't put radiation in my baby.
16:08Then we can do an MRI which doesn't use radiation.
16:11Her pain will only get worse if she leaves here without treatment.
16:18Fine.
16:19But where she goes, I go.
16:31Big mistake there?
16:33He's a good doctor.
16:34I'm just tired of running circles around everyone.
16:36Well, I was in the neighborhood.
16:39Thought I'd say hello and show you these.
16:46Tchaikovsky's fifth.
16:47Box right above the string section.
16:49I wish I could go.
16:50Having dinner with Joan.
16:52Can't you reschedule?
16:54Oh, she's only here for two weeks before she goes to Thailand.
16:57Amy.
16:58Katie, I'll go with you.
17:02We need a night out.
17:04For us.
17:05It's three o'clock.
17:07Next time, plan it beforehand.
17:10Look, I need to get back to work.
17:11I will see you at home.
17:12Well, well.
17:13Look who's back.
17:14Oh, congratulations, Dad.
17:16It's very nice of you to come up here to say that.
17:17Oh, that's not why I came up.
17:18There's the Joan we know and love.
17:19I understand you're in the unenviable position of trying to find a new chief of internal medicine.
17:24Oh, yeah.
17:25So a friend asked me to put in a good word.
17:26Nick Facitelli.
17:27Oh.
17:28I'll have my assistant set up a meeting.
17:29Oh, God, no.
17:30I wouldn't do that to you.
17:31He's awful.
17:32But who else are you looking at?
17:33Well, uh, Tori Davis has great credentials.
17:34She does.
17:35Unfortunately, she's a serial sexual harasser.
17:36Ah.
17:37I mean.
17:39Max also mentioned Joseph Liu.
17:41Oh, he'd be great.
17:42But I'm pretty sure she's a serial sexual harasser.
17:44Oh, he'd be great.
17:46But I'm pretty sure she's a serial sexual harasser.
17:49Oh, I mean.
17:50I don't know.
17:51I don't know.
17:52I don't know.
17:53I don't know.
17:54I don't know.
17:55I don't know.
17:56But I'm pretty sure he died three months ago.
17:58Well, not ideal then.
18:00Um, a word of advice.
18:03Don't hire anyone who's asking for it.
18:06And I just want to say congrats and hi.
18:11You're sure this won't hurt the baby?
18:13The MRI is not harmful.
18:15Our goal is to heal people, not hurt them.
18:17I know you don't understand the way we live,
18:19but I will be just as much a mother to that baby as Megan.
18:22I'm sure it'll be wonderful for her to have that support.
18:25When she came to us, she was quite lost.
18:28What?
18:29Everyone can see what this baby has done for her.
18:31Oh, for God's sake.
18:32There's no baby.
18:34What are you talking about?
18:36You brainwashed her into needing it to feel special.
18:39And now here we are.
18:41That is not possible.
18:43She is obviously pregnant.
18:44No.
18:45Megan's suffering from a complex delusion
18:48that causes her body to mimic the effects of pregnancy.
18:51It's rare.
18:52So you're manipulating her.
18:53No more than you people are.
18:56And we'd better talk outside.
19:00You all think your way is so much better.
19:02I'm not debating this.
19:03What matters is, Megan, do you care about her?
19:05Of course I do.
19:06Well, she has a tumor.
19:08If we don't treat it, she could die.
19:09That landing?
19:10Now, since you know what a CT is,
19:12I'm pretty sure you've heard of a psychotic break.
19:14That's where she's headed if we destroy her fantasy right now.
19:17We need to treat her physically first.
19:18And if I decide to take her someplace else to do that?
19:22You're right.
19:23We don't know you.
19:24Or what's going on, where you're from.
19:26But whatever it is, I have DCYF, state police, and the FBI on speed dial.
19:31So if you even think about trying to move her,
19:33or breathe one word of this to Megan,
19:35you'll have an army of blue windbreakers knocking down your doors.
19:38I'm assuming that's not what you want.
19:40I need to make a call.
19:4818 inches long.
19:50Head circumference, 30 centimeters.
19:53You're doing great, little buddy.
19:55Assuming the lab tests come back normal,
19:57you can take him home today.
20:00Does he look jaundiced to you?
20:03It's faint. Fairly common.
20:05Yeah, bililite, maybe? Just to be safe?
20:08It'll resolve itself in a few hours.
20:11Right.
20:14I do think it would be a good idea to get an echo.
20:16His cardiac auscultation is completely normal.
20:19That would really be unnecessary.
20:24Please.
20:25Paging Dr. Barrett to ICU.
20:26Paging Dr. Barrett to ICU.
20:27Paging Dr. Barrett to ICU.
20:28Paging Dr. Barrett to ICU.
20:29Paging Dr. Barrett to ICU.
20:30Oh, okay.
20:31No.
20:32Let me call you back, okay?
20:33We'll find out.
20:34Just kidding.
20:35Uh, let me call you back, okay?
20:36We'll find out.
20:37Just kidding.
20:38TJ.
20:39Oh my god, are you okay?
20:40I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.
20:41You're not.
20:42You've got blood in the drain.
20:43If you had to go to the bathroom, why didn't you call me?
20:44I could do it myself.
20:45You hurt Dr. Agassi.
20:46You can't.
20:47Don't tell me.
20:48Why not?
20:49I'm fine.
20:50I'm fine.
20:51I'm fine.
20:52I'm fine.
20:53You're not.
20:54You've got blood in the drain.
20:55If you had to go to the bathroom, why didn't you call me?
20:56I could do it myself.
20:57You hurt Dr. Agassi.
20:58You can't.
20:59Don't tell me what I can't do, okay?
21:00Now, the MRI shows that you have a tumor in your abdomen.
21:02Oh no, that's, that's really bad.
21:03We can't know for sure until we perform a biopsy.
21:06What does that mean?
21:07We're gonna take a needle and put it into your abdomen.
21:08No, I don't want to do anything.
21:09I'm fine.
21:10I'm fine.
21:11I'm fine.
21:12I'm fine.
21:13I'm fine.
21:14I'm fine.
21:15I'm fine.
21:16I'm fine.
21:17I'm fine.
21:18I'm fine.
21:19I'm fine.
21:20You're not.
21:21You've got blood in the drain.
21:22If you had to go to the bathroom, why didn't you call me?
21:23I can do it myself.
21:24You heard Dr. Agassi.
21:25You can't.
21:26You're gonna take a needle and put it into your abdomen.
21:28No, I don't want to do anything if it's gonna hurt the baby.
21:30I want to talk to Anne.
21:31Okay, you are gonna be a mother.
21:33You need to make decisions for yourself.
21:36Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
21:41I'm sorry.
21:44I'm sorry.
21:47I know that you're just scared.
21:49When I was pregnant with my son, they had to do something similar.
21:55called an amniocentesis.
21:56Just the idea of the needle going into my stomach that close to his little body.
22:01I was terrified.
22:02But you know what?
22:03He was fine.
22:04And 16 years later, we have amazing technology and even better doctors.
22:12You have nothing to be afraid of.
22:16Is it true you can see the sex from the ultrasound?
22:23Did you see?
22:25Usually, but because of the way the baby was positioned, I couldn't.
22:31That's okay.
22:33The name I picked works either way.
22:38Jordan.
22:40It's a beautiful name.
22:43Okay.
22:48You can do the biopsy.
22:52I do trust you.
22:56Okay.
22:57Hey, we're doing the biopsy now.
23:00I talked to my contact in social services to see about trying to track down a brother.
23:04Oh, I can't imagine that's gonna be easy.
23:06Where is the den mother?
23:08Last I saw in the waiting area.
23:10I'm pretty sure that the biopsy is gonna show a stromal tumor.
23:13Oh, that's why you asked about the baby's growth spurt.
23:15If I'm right, it means the pregnancy hormones she's producing as a result of the delusion
23:19are feeding the tumor.
23:20They're accelerating its growth.
23:22The longer that Megan thinks she's pregnant, the worse this is gonna get.
23:27You're in luck.
23:29I spoke to my people and Megan is all yours now.
23:32What?
23:33Are you kidding?
23:34You're gonna abandon her?
23:36There's no place for her with us anymore.
23:38You have a nice day.
23:40I'm sorry.
23:44Amy, can I have a word?
23:46Sure.
23:52TJ's having some problems.
23:54He's giving the nurses a hard time, which is obviously not like him.
23:58There's no one he respects more than you, so...
24:01Yeah, of course, I'll talk to him.
24:03Appreciate it.
24:04Thanks.
24:05Hey, because of everything that happened, I didn't get a chance to apologize.
24:08What I said to you the other day...
24:10Let me just stop you there, okay?
24:14I will always be grateful for what you did for me with Rafi.
24:17But you were right.
24:18We're not friends.
24:19You said that in an awful way, because you were acting out about something going on in your life.
24:24Just like you did for all those years after your son died.
24:27And everything that happened yesterday, all of us being held at gunpoint.
24:33Do you realize you almost got Jake and TJ killed because of the things you didn't remember?
24:38This whole experiment of you being back, us all catering to your needs, it was misguided and narcissistic to begin with, but now we know it puts people in danger.
24:48So I'm gonna say what no one else will.
24:51You don't belong here.
24:53Lucy, do you know where TJ is?
24:57Oh, he opened up his incision.
25:14He took him to the procedure room.
25:17Should be back in an hour or so.
25:19Okay, thanks.
25:20You're still here.
25:24I ended up with another patient.
25:27Where are your students?
25:29I put them on Scott.
25:30They're probably collecting stool samples right about now.
25:33How are you doing?
25:35Yeah, okay.
25:37All things considered.
25:39Yeah, I saw Michael down in OB.
25:41That must be hard for you.
25:48You have no choice.
25:50You okay?
25:52I just had a memory from the missing years and you were in it.
25:58You're kidding me.
25:59We were at a restaurant and there was chocolate cake and scotch, of course, and you said to me you have no choice.
26:10Do you remember that?
26:11Do you know when that might have been or what we were talking about?
26:13It sounds like me, but we've had a lot of dinners and you've made a lot of choices in the last eight years.
26:20Yeah, right.
26:22I'll think on it.
26:23Okay.
26:24Do you know this weekend?
26:26Yeah.
26:27Yeah.
26:28I'd love that.
26:29Okay.
26:34Clear four chamber view.
26:36Proper valve function.
26:39He's a strong, healthy boy.
26:41Time to take him home.
26:43Shh.
26:44It's okay.
26:45It's okay.
26:46It's okay.
26:47It's okay.
26:48It's okay.
26:59He's perfect.
27:00Yeah.
27:02I was worried.
27:03But he's healthy, right?
27:05I'm afraid to go home.
27:12Not because I think he's sick.
27:15He's not replacing Danny.
27:18Trust me, you have enough room in your heart for them both.
27:22Michael?
27:23Hey.
27:24I was...
27:25I have a patient on this floor and I...
27:29Congrats.
27:30He's beautiful.
27:31We missed you.
27:32I can't believe that worked.
27:33Neither can I.
27:34How long's it been?
27:35Last one was, what, seven minutes ago?
27:37And how's the headache?
27:38It's finally going away.
27:39Chest pain, too.
27:40I'm so excited.
27:41I don't know what to do first.
27:42This has been the worst 11 days of my life.
27:44Well, luckily it's over.
27:45Get up!
27:46Get up!

29:29a jordan collier is here to see you
29:33megan's brother jordan was her name for the baby
29:39tried to find her for years she's been living off the grid on a farm there isn't much information
29:45on the group but it has all the hallmarks of a cult well i was 12 when we got separated i guess we both
29:52changed a lot she told us she was in foster care but not much more than that mom died in childbirth
29:58with her dad emotionally checked out then he really checked out for a while we lived on our own
30:07surviving on whatever we could scrape together until dcyf came and separated you and everything
30:13good was gone well i'm glad you're here now in light of my failure at intervention i started thinking
30:23your case must be structural 11 days ago at the gym did you work shoulders yeah yeah i did shrugs okay
30:31raise your right arm something's supposed to happen you're gonna know when you feel it now you're left
30:36uh there's a tingling in my fingers congratulations you have a lipoma right at the nexus of the
30:45brachial plexus and the phrenic nerve why is she congratulating me because this time she can fix you
30:53megan there's something we need to tell you this is your ultrasound from this morning there's no baby there
31:02there was never a baby no no look at me i'm i'm pregnant i know it's it's hard to process but you
31:11have a condition where your body no you're lying you took my baby get ann where's ann and uh went back
31:18to the commune what no no she would never leave us well she left because there's no baby no no you took
31:24my baby where's my baby where's my baby don't open your mouth don't pull it out right grab her arm
31:43i hear you're not being a very good patient uh were you um i inserted myself into jake's case from my
31:52bedside almost killed his patient and i crashed a board meeting with a bandage on my head demanding
31:58to come back to work so not so much i think i was out that day shame i missed it
32:08do me a favor okay don't punish the people who are trying to take care of you
32:13i need to know if you still love her nora it'll break my heart but it'll be a thousand times worse
32:34if you deny it because you feel guilty i love you
32:37and i'm not going anywhere
32:55you did something to the baby during the surgery i know it now why would we do that
33:01why would we take your baby from you
33:02maybe because you thought i wouldn't take good care of it there is another possibility to consider
33:11maybe after a lifetime of being ignored you finally felt seen you have a choice now you can cling to
33:20that belief and spiral further from the life you deserve or you can take the harder path accept what's
33:26real grieve it and start to heal but you don't have to do it alone
33:39jordan will help you hi mix
33:41i'm telling you she humiliated this other doctor in front of a room full of people
33:56if she's demanding her colleagues rise to her standards so be it you're not getting me i don't
34:02even recognize her right now i don't know what's going on at home but as far as her career she's on
34:08the road to being named chief and finally living up to her potential well what's going on at home is
34:13we're falling apart i know you're having dinner with her tonight and you want me to mediate
34:18i can barely get her to show up to couples counseling and gina can't get through to her
34:22she trusts you looks up to you can you just try we're not surviving this of course of course michael

35:22tied down but would you maybe consider being chief of internal medicine at the best hospital in
35:28minneapolis michael you can have free reign to do it how you like salary's competitive
35:36okay fine it's a 15 pay cut the hours are horrible dr coleman was shot yesterday not far from where
35:42we're sitting you know it's customary for the cmo to woo the potential chief by telling them how
35:48right they'd be the position we all know how smart and talented i am and i come with the added bonus
35:54of being your ex-wife's friend and mentor so maybe despite your new family you're still trying to
35:59take care of amy which is lovely so you'll do it no i didn't want to have to appeal to your humanity but
36:07i need you and you always go where you're needed
36:14just give me a year three years options are mine no non-compete i get complete autonomy hiring firing
36:23budget no board reviews for a year i don't want those politicos breathing down my neck well i can
36:28manage them i need you to guarantee me one day a week of dedicated or time i know you love to cut
36:34and i get to name my successor never gonna happen veto power congratulations
36:47how was megan it'll take some time but she'll be okay
36:53do you think the me from a year ago would have had a problem lying to her like that no that amy was
37:07a master detachment would have done whatever it took without a second thought probably easier for me
37:12like that maybe i still prefer this version
37:16what did i do to you gina let's just say it was death by a thousand cuts
37:32when you lost danny i felt like i lost you and when i really needed you you weren't there for me
37:39what could i say compared to what you were going through everything else felt trivial i'm glad you're
37:51telling me now and i know that i'm sorry sounds so hollow but i am so sorry i'll do whatever it takes
38:01to make this right how do you even fix a thousand cuts with a thousand stitches
38:25how you doing i apologize to liz that's good
38:31you sent amy to talk to me
38:37you needed it
38:42i'm an army ranger asking for help i don't leaning on people isn't a sign of weakness tj
38:52i honestly don't know how i'm going to get through this
39:01have a good night
39:09i had some memories
39:13of what
39:14it doesn't matter
39:17the point is now at least i have some hope that maybe i can remember me
39:22and us
39:27i know i can't ask you to wait
39:29but you still want me to
39:31you were never my security blanket jake
39:35never
39:36look i know you're trying
39:38but i just don't think you're being honest with yourself
39:40if there was no nora and michael didn't have a baby and he said you should go home to him and katie would
39:49you really say no
39:52please just stop this
39:55please
40:07sometimes i wonder if i'm ever gonna make it home again
40:13it's so far and out of sight
40:21i really need someone to talk to
40:25and nobody else
40:27no
40:28look like you could use a drink
40:32you buy it
40:35you're right
40:49i won't be happy till i see you alone
40:54what are you doing
40:57right
41:05so
41:19Snow is cold, rain is wet
41:39Chills my soul right to the marrow
41:45I won't be happy till I see you alone again
41:53Till I'm home again and feelin' right
41:57Till I'm home again and feelin' right
42:04I wanna be home again and feelin' right
42:12That's brutal
42:25Couple's counseling isn't helping?
42:30That's a legitimate question
42:31From the woman who thinks shrinks are all charlatans
42:35Individual therapy is just paying someone to watch you gaze at your navel
42:40And then ask how you feel about it, but with a couple
42:42At least it does force both parties to communicate
42:45What's there left to say?
42:50It hasn't already been said
42:51I'll tell you
42:53He's always held you back
42:55But now
42:55When you look at him
42:57All you see is the man who you think let your son die
43:00That's bad for you
43:02What you have to do now is hard but clear
43:07You have no choice
43:09You have to leave him
43:12And this is what I have to do now
43:13I have to leave him
43:18And the sia
43:18BO meng livro
43:19I have to leave him
43:20To take him
43:21And in the s***
43:21And go
