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, uh...
05:52I'd better get back.
06:10I'm so glad you're okay.
06:15You're okay
06:28Dr. Larson, sorry, I just can you come take a look at my patient all the OBs are busy and there's something weird
06:35Megan, this is Dr. Larson. Nice to meet you. So what's going on?
06:44She's presenting with abdominal pain, soreness and nausea. The ER gave her meds to ease the pain.
06:50My doula wasn't worried, but I just want to make sure my baby's okay.
06:54So you don't have a doctor?
06:56Where I live, it's a tight-knit community, kind of off the grid. We don't believe in traditional medicine.
07:03I know what you're thinking, but uh...
07:07Our only concern is that you and your baby get what you need.
07:09We do. Moms-to-be are given the priority. I get the best food, longest showers, warmest blankets.
07:18Um, I'd love to take a look, so I'm gonna do another ultrasound.
07:26So, um, no one came with you?
07:30No. My baby's dad left a few months ago. Doesn't live with us anymore.
07:36It's okay. I'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, sorry.
07:47I need help.
08:00Why are you still here?
08:01I was sleeping. But I got pulled into a consult.
08:04Okay. Patient is presenting as seven months pregnant, rounded belly, pronounced breast changes, sensation of fetal movement, came in with abdominal pain, worried about the baby.
08:14And what did the ultrasound show?
08:16A concerning mass. We need a CT and a biopsy right away.
08:20So why do you need me?
08:21Because of what it didn't show.
08:23There's no baby in her uterus.
08:26Blood work shows that there never was.
08:29What are you doing here?
08:35Uh, I just...
08:36I can't right now. Just...
08:38Give me a minute.
08:41Did you start my patient on furosemide?
08:45Yeah, her O2 sats were dropped.
08:47She has chronic kidney failure.
08:48I checked her lab. She looked like she could handle a gentle diuresis.
08:52She's already had an A centimeter. You just doubled down on renal risk.
08:55Which is why I started her on vasopress.
08:58That raised her blood pressure but didn't address her heart failure or low ejection fraction.
09:03So what did she need, Dr. Clark?
09:08Do you have any idea what you're doing?
09:13An eindentrope.
09:14Now I have to explain to her daughter why she has a tube jammed down her trachea when she was turning a corner this morning.
09:22Lucy.
09:237-O-E-T-T.
09:24Autonomate and sucks.
09:25Stat.
09:26This is the big leagues, Brian.
09:28If you're gonna bring your double-A game, the least you could do is consult me when you're covering one of my patients.
09:32Well, we can't all be as brilliant as you.
09:34No.
09:35That'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 in this sect or cult or whatever it is, or what she knows about medicine.
09:48Okay, good.
09:49Because pseudosiasis has to be handled very delicately.
09:52The safest path forward is to treat Megan as if she's really pregnant.
09:56Lie to her.
09:57Yes.
09:58And throw full disclosure out the window.
10:00Do no harm has to come first.
10:02I'm not sure that enabling a delusion qualifies as do no harm.
10:06This is a delusion so powerful her body's compensated for it.
10:09Telling her the truth now could have her bolt before you can even biopsy the mask.
10:13But won't feeding a delusion this deep make breaking it even harder?
10:18Yes.
10:19And when that time comes, I'll help her confront it.
10:22But because you're the one lying to her, you'll have to rip off the band-aid.
10:33What's wrong?
10:34I think I'm having a delayed reaction to the tank.
10:37You're having memories?
10:38I mean, they're not like the memories that 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, but I have no idea with who or why it matters.
10:52If they're triggered by your environment, it's probably good you stay here today.
10:55Maybe you'll get a hit that gives you some clarity.
11:01How about Sean?
11:04Are you a Sean?
11:06No, he doesn't like that one either.
11:08He's rolled out all my names so far.
11:11Ryan, Archie, Sutton.
11:13No, I wasn't going to name my son Sutton.
11:15How about Simon?
11:24For my dad.
11:28Hey, new parents.
11:31Congrats.
11:32Can I steal him a moment?
11:34I assume you mean Michael?
11:36So, when are you taking your paternity leave?
11:39I figured in a month or two when the baby nurse leaves.
11:42Sooner is better.
11:43Like today.
11:45Is this about what happened with Yunos?
11:47You 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.
11:57Because you've been here seven months, and I'm the one who hired you, I will take the heat if we need to make a change.
12:03You can't be serious.
12:04Take your paternity leave now, let the smoke clear, and by the time you get back the board will have moved on to a different target.
12:10What about a new chief? I'd like that to be my hire.
12:13Then wait.
12:14And if I find someone, I'll give you a chance at bedding them.
12:17Now go, be with your family.
12:26Hey there.
12:27Hey.
12:30I'm a mobster here?
12:31Where else would I be?
12:34Hi, baby.
12:35You feeling okay?
12:37Yeah.
12:38You didn't tell Liz any family secrets, did you?
12:41Well, actually, she told me all about your obsessions with Uncrustables.
12:44Hey, TJ.
12:45How are you feeling?
12:47Hey.
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?
12:57Ooh.
12:58Nice job with the wound pleasure.
12:59You are healing well, but I'm afraid you need to lower your expectations about how soon you're getting back to normal.
13:08Your muscle was badly torn up by the bullet. You're lucky we could save the leg.
13:11You can probably go home in about a week, but you're gonna need a lot of rehab to get your strength back.
13:17How long we talking?
13:19Maybe six months before you can walk normally again. About a year before you can run or play sports.
13:25Yep.
13:26I'll check on you later, but if you need to get up, call someone.
13:33If he knew you like I do, no way it will take that long.
13:39Sure.
13:41Gotta go, but Dad'll be by later.
13:43You should still get some rest.
13:44I'm okay.
14:01How you doing?
14:02Ah, I got snacks. I'm good.
14:06I mean after yesterday.
14:08Been through much worse.
14:10Besides, I'm not the one who got hit in the head.
14:13You got your CT yet?
14:15Yep, all good.
14:17I'm gonna take two Tylenol and call myself in the morning.
14:22Uh, listen, about the other day, I...
14:25No, I told you, we're good.
14:29Anyway, doesn't matter.
14:31Amy and me, we're not together anymore, so...
14:34Well, um, sorry.
14:37No, you're not, but thank you for trying.
14:40Well, I am sorry you're hurting, but yeah, you deserve better.
14:46I appreciate it.
14:47Oh, thanks.
14:48The scan will give us a clear picture of what's causing your discomfort.
14:53This is Dr. Walker.
14:54Um, she'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.
15:04A 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.
15:25I 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-I'm sorry, Sister Anne. I just had to make sure the baby's okay.
15:58We'll take care of you both. You can't trust these people.
16:01She can, and-and she clearly knows that, or she wouldn't have traveled four hours to get here.
16:05Megan.
16:06Megan.
16:07I can't put radiation in my baby.
16:09Then we can do an MRI which doesn't use radiation.
16:12Her pain will only get worse if she leaves here without treatment.
16:19Fine.
16:20But where she goes, I go.
16:31Big mistake there?
16:33He's a good doctor. I'm just tired of running circles around everyone.
16:36Well, I was in the neighborhood. Thought I'd say hello and show you these.
16:46Tchaikovsky's Fifth. Box right above the string section.
16:49I wish I could go. Having 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.
16:59We need a night out. For us.
17:05It's three o'clock. Next time, plan it beforehand.
17:10Look, I need to get back to work. I will see you at home.
17:12Well, well, look who's back.
17:13Oh, congratulations, Dad.
17:15It's very nice of you to come up here to say that.
17:16Oh, that's not why I came up.
17:17There's the Joan we know and love.
17:18I understand you're in the unenviable position of trying to find a new chief of internal medicine.
17:19Mm-hmm.
17:20So a friend asked me to put in a good word. Nick Facitelli.
17:21Oh.
17:22I'll have my assistant set up a meeting.
17:23Oh, God, no. I wouldn't do that to you. He's awful.
17:24But who else are you looking at?
17:25Well, uh, Tori Davis has great credentials.
17:26She does. Unfortunately, she's a serial sexual harasser.
17:27Ah.
17:28I mean...
17:29Max also mentioned Joseph Liu.
17:30Oh, I'm sorry.
17:31I'm sorry to come up here to say that.
17:32Oh, that's not why I came up.
17:33There's the Joan we know and love.
17:34I understand you're in the unenviable position of trying to find a new chief of internal medicine.
17:37Mm-hmm.
17:38So a friend asked me to put in a good word. Nick Facitelli.
17:39Oh.
17:40I'll have my assistant set up a meeting.
17:41Oh, God, no. I wouldn't do that to you. He's awful.
17:43But who else are you looking at?
17:44Well, uh, Tori Davis has great credentials.
17:46She does. Unfortunately, she's a serial sexual harasser.
17:54Oh, he'd be great. But I'm pretty sure he died three months ago.
17:58Well, not ideal then.
18:00Um, a word of advice. Don'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. Our goal is to heal people, not hurt them.
18:17I know you don't understand the way we live, but 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? Everyone can see what this baby has done for her.
18:31Oh, for God's sake. There'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. She is obviously pregnant.
18:44No. Megan's suffering from a complex delusion that 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. What matters is Megan. Do you care about her?
19:05Of course I do.
19:06Well, she has a tumor. If we don't treat it, she could die. That landing?
19:10Megan?
19:11Now, since you know what a CT is, I'm pretty sure you've heard of a psychotic break.
19:15That's where she's headed if we destroy her fantasy right now. We need to treat her physically first.
19:19And if I decide to take her someplace else to do that?
19:22You're right. We don't know you. Or what's going on, where you're from. But 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, or breathe one word of this to Megan, you'll have an army of blue windbreakers knocking down your doors. I'm assuming that's not what you want.
19:41I need to make a call.
19:4818 inches long, head circumference 30 centimeters.
19:53You're doing great, little buddy.
19:55Assuming the lab tests come back normal, you can take him home today.
20:00Does he look jaundiced to you?
20:04It's faint. Fairly common.
20:06Yeah, bililite, maybe? Just to be safe?
20:09It'll resolve itself in a few hours.
20:11Right.
20:14I do think it would be a good idea to get an echo.
20:17His cardiac auscultation is completely normal. That would really be unnecessary.
20:25Please.
20:27Paging Dr. Barrett to ICU. Paging Dr. Barrett to ICU.
20:32Oh, okay. No.
20:35Uh, let me call you back, okay?
20:37TJ. Oh my god. Are you okay?
20:51TJ! Oh, my God! Are you okay?
21:05I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.
21:06You're not. You've got blood in the drain.
21:08If you had to go to the bathroom, why didn't you call me?
21:10I can do it myself.
21:11You heard Dr. Agassi. You can't.
21:12Don't tell me what I can't do, okay?
21:17Now, the MRI shows that you have a tumor in your abdomen.
21:21Oh, no, that's really bad.
21:22We can't know for sure until we perform a biopsy.
21:25What does that mean?
21:26We're going to take a needle and put it into your abdomen.
21:28No, I don't want to do anything if it's going to hurt the baby.
21:30I want to talk to Anne.
21:32Okay, you are going to be a mother.
21:34You need to make decisions for yourself.
21:40Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
21:43I'm sorry.
21:45I'm sorry. I know that you're just scared.
21:50When I was pregnant with my son, they had to do something similar called an amniocentesis.
21:58Just the idea of the needle going into my stomach that close to his little body, I was terrified.
22:04But you know what? He was fine.
22:05And 16 years later, we have amazing technology and even better doctors.
22:13You have nothing to be afraid of.
22:15Is it true you can see the sex from the ultrasound?
22:25Did you see?
22:26Usually, but because of the way the baby was positioned, I couldn't.
22:34That's okay.
22:34It's the name I picked works either way.
22:39Jordan.
22:41It's a beautiful name.
22:48Okay.
22:51You can do the biopsy.
22:52I do trust you.
22:57Okay.
22:59Hey, we're doing the biopsy now.
23:01I talked to my contact in social services to see about trying to track down a brother.
23:05Oh, I can't imagine that's going to be easy.
23:07Where is the den mother?
23:09Last I saw in the waiting area.
23:10I'm pretty sure that the biopsy is going to show a stromal tumor.
23:14Oh, that's why you asked about the baby's growth spurt.
23:16If I'm right, it means the pregnancy hormones she's producing as a result of the delusion are feeding the tumor.
23:21They're accelerating its growth.
23:22The longer that Megan thinks she's pregnant, the worse this is going to get.
23:28You're in luck.
23:30I spoke to my people and Megan is all yours now.
23:33What?
23:34Are you kidding?
23:34You're going to abandon her?
23:37There's no place for her with us anymore.
23:39You have a nice day.
23:43I, sorry, Amy, can I have a word?
23:47Sure.
23:53TJ's having some problems.
23:55He's giving the nurses a hard time, which is obviously not like him.
24:00There's no one he respects more than you, so...
24:02Yeah, of course, I'll talk to him.
24:04Appreciate it.
24:05Thanks.
24:05Hey, um, because of everything that happened, I didn't get a chance to apologize.
24:09What I said to you the other day...
24:10Let me just stop you there, okay?
24:13I will always be grateful for what you did for me with Rafi.
24:18But you were right.
24:19We're not friends.
24:20You said that in an awful way, because you were acting out about something going on in
24:24your life, just like you did for all those years after your son died.
24:28And everything that happened yesterday, all of us being held at gunpoint, do you realize
24:35you almost got Jake and TJ killed because of the things you didn't remember?
24:40This whole experiment of you being back, us all catering to your needs, it was misguided
24:46and narcissistic to begin with, but now we know it puts people in danger.
24:50So I'm going to say what no one else will.
24:52You don't belong here.
24:54Lucy, do you know where TJ is?
25:15Oh, he opened up his incision.
25:17He took him to the procedure room.
25:18Should be back in an hour or so.
25:19Okay, thanks.
25:24You're still here.
25:26I ended up with another patient.
25:28Where are your students?
25:30I put them on Scott.
25:31They're probably collecting stool samples right about now.
25:34How are you doing?
25:36Yeah, okay.
25:38All things considered.
25:40Yeah, I saw Michael down in OB.
25:42That must be hard for you.
25:44You have no choice.
25:51You okay?
25:53I just had a memory.
25:55From the missing years.
25:57And you were in it.
25:59You're kidding me.
26:00We were at a restaurant and there was chocolate cake and scotch, of course.
26:06And you said to me, you have no choice.
26:11Do you remember that?
26:12Do you know when that might have been or what we were talking about?
26:14It sounds like me, but we've had a lot of dinners and you've made a lot of choices in the last eight years.
26:21Yeah, right.
26:23I'll think on it.
26:24Okay.
26:25Dinner this weekend?
26:27Yeah, yeah.
26:28I'd love that.
26:29Clear four-chamber view.
26:38Proper valve function.
26:40He's a strong, healthy boy.
26:43Time to take him home.
26:46Shh.
26:47It's okay.
26:48It's okay.
26:49It's okay.
26:49It's okay.
26:49It's okay.
26:59He's perfect.
27:01Yeah.
27:03I was worried.
27:05But he's healthy, right?
27:10I'm afraid to go home.
27:14Not because I think he's sick.
27:17He's not replacing Danny.
27:20Trust me, you have enough room in your heart for them both.
27:25Michael?
27:27Hey.
27:27I was, I have a patient on this floor and I, congrats.
27:34He's beautiful.
27:39We missed you.
27:45I can't believe that worked.
27:47Neither can I.
27:48How long's it been?
27:50Last one was, what, seven minutes ago?
27:52And how's the headache?
27:53It's finally going away.
27:54Chest pain, too.
27:57I'm so excited, I don't know what to do first.
27:59This has been the worst 11 days of my life.
28:02Well, luckily it's over.
28:04Get up!
28:10Inject the epinephrine.
28:14Tumor's big.
28:16Yeah.
28:20Tighten up.
28:21I got it.
28:24I got it.
28:33Okay.
28:36She's in V-fib.
28:37Clear the field.
28:38I need to shock the patient.
28:39Doesn't make sense.
28:39She's got no cardiac history.
28:41It's not V-fib.
28:45She's having myoclonic tetany.
28:47No, no, stop, stop.
28:48Wait, it's not cardiac.
28:49It's a hormonal storm caused by the tumor.
28:51Two milligrams of I-V-Lorazepam.
28:52Are you sure?
28:53Do it.
29:05Tetany stopped.
29:07We got normal sinus rhythm again.
29:11I got it all.
29:15And she's sleeping now.
29:17Good.
29:19It's almost over.
29:20Not for Megan.
29:23For her, the hell is just about to start.
29:29A Jordan Collier is here to see you.
29:33Megan's brother.
29:35Jordan was her name for the baby.
29:39Tried to find her for years.
29:41She's been living off the grid on a farm.
29:44There isn't much information on the group, but it has all the hallmarks of a cult.
29:49Well, I was 12 when we got separated.
29:51I guess we both changed a lot.
29:54She told us she was in foster care, but not much more than that.
29:57Mom died in childbirth with her.
29:59Dad emotionally checked out.
30:02Then he really checked out.
30:04For a while, we lived on our own, surviving on whatever we could scrape together.
30:09Until DCYF came and separated you.
30:12And everything good was gone.
30:14Well, I'm glad you're here now.
30:18In light of my failure at intervention, I started thinking.
30:23Your case must be structural.
30:2511 days ago at the gym, did you work shoulders?
30:28Yeah.
30:28Yeah, I did shrugs.
30:29Okay.
30:31Raise your right arm.
30:33Is something supposed to happen?
30:34You're going to know when you feel it.
30:36Now you're left?
30:39There's tingling in my fingers.
30:41Congratulations.
30:43You have a lipoma right at the nexus of the brachial plexus and the phrenic nerve.
30:47Why is she congratulating me?
30:49Because this time, she can fix you.
30:53Megan, there's something we need to tell you.
30:57This is your ultrasound from this morning.
31:01There's no baby there.
31:02There was never a baby.
31:06No.
31:07No.
31:07Look at me.
31:08I'm pregnant.
31:09I know.
31:10It's hard to process.
31:11But you have a condition where your body mimics...
31:13No, you're lying.
31:14You took my baby.
31:15Get Anne.
31:16Where's Anne?
31:17Anne went back to the commune.
31:19What?
31:19No.
31:19No, she would never leave us.
31:21Well, she left because there's no baby.
31:22No, no.
31:23No.
31:24You took my baby.
31:25Where's my baby?
31:26Go, go, go, go.
31:26Open your arm.
31:27Go, go, go.
31:28Go, go.
31:28Grab her arm.
31:29Go, go.
31:32I hear you're not being a very good patient.
31:47Uh, were you?
31:48Um, I inserted myself into Jake's case from my bedside, almost killed his patient, and
31:56I crashed a board meeting with a bandage on my head, demanding to come back to work, so
31:59not so much.
32:01I think I was out that day.
32:04Shame I missed it.
32:08Do me a favor, okay?
32:10Don't punish the people who are trying to take care of you.
32:14That is one thing that I am not going to do over.
32:18I need to know if you still love her.
32:28Nora.
32:29It'll break my heart, but it'll be a thousand times worse if you deny it because you feel
32:35guilty.
32:36I love you.
32:40And I'm not going anywhere.
32:42You did something to the baby during the surgery.
32:58I know it.
32:59And why would we do that?
33:01Why would we take your baby from you?
33:03Maybe because you thought I wouldn't take good care of it.
33:07There is another possibility to consider.
33:11Maybe after a lifetime of being ignored, you finally felt seen.
33:17You have a choice now.
33:19You can cling to that belief and spiral further from the life you deserve, or you can take the
33:24harder path, accept what's real, grieve it, and start to heal.
33:30But you don't have to do it alone.
33:32Jordan will help you.
33:41Hi, Max.
33:52I'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.
34:00You're not getting me.
34:02I don't even recognize her right now.
34:04I don't know what's going on at home, but as far as her career, she's on the road to
34:08being named chief and finally living up to her potential.
34:11Well, what's going on at home is we're falling apart.
34:14I know you're having dinner with her tonight.
34:16And you want me to mediate?
34:18I can barely get her to show up to couples counseling.
34:21And Gina can't get through to her.
34:23She trusts you, looks up to you.
34:24Can you just try?
34:26We're not surviving this.
34:27Of course.
34:29Of course, Michael.
34:31I'll do whatever I can.
34:43Hi.
34:44How'd it go?
34:46You tell us.
34:46Okay, we're not waiting all night.
34:55They're not coming back.
34:56I promise.
34:58Just tell me, how bad is a scar over my egg?
35:01I hid the incision in a tattoo at your clavicle.
35:04Can't ruin a man's art.
35:06Didn't think I had it in me, did you?
35:08Yeah.
35:14Hi.
35:15Don't you have a baby to take home?
35:18First, I have a proposition.
35:20Oh.
35:21Okay.
35:22I know you don't like to be tied down,
35:24but would you maybe consider being chief of internal medicine
35:27at the best hospital in Minneapolis?
35:30Michael.
35:31You can have free reign to do it how you like.
35:33Salary's competitive.
35:34Okay, fine.
35:37It's a 15% pay cut.
35:38The hours are horrible.
35:40Dr. Coleman was shot yesterday,
35:41not far from where we're sitting.
35:43You know, it's customary for the CMO to woo the potential chief
35:47by telling them how right they'd be for the position.
35:50We all know how smart and talented I am,
35:52and I come with the added bonus
35:54of being your ex-wife's friend and mentor,
35:56so maybe despite your new family,
35:58you're still trying to take care of Amy,
36:00which is lovely.
36:02So you'll do it?
36:03No.
36:05I didn't want to have to appeal to your humanity,
36:07but I need you,
36:09and you always go where you're needed.
36:14Just give me a year.
36:16Three years.
36:18Options are mine.
36:19No non-compete.
36:20I get complete autonomy.
36:22Hiring, firing, budget.
36:24No board reviews for a year.
36:26I don't want those politicos breathing down my neck.
36:28Well, I can manage them.
36:29I need you to guarantee me one day a week
36:31of dedicated OR time.
36:32I know you love to cut.
36:34And I get to name my successor.
36:35Never gonna happen.
36:36Detow power?
36:41Congratulations.
36:41How was Megan?
36:47It'll take some time, but she'll be okay.
36:53Do you think the me from a year ago
37:02would have had a problem lying to her like that?
37:04No.
37:06That Amy was a master detachment.
37:08Would have done whatever it took
37:09without a second thought.
37:11Probably easier for me like that.
37:14Maybe.
37:15I still prefer this version.
37:22What did I do to you, Gina?
37:23Let's just say it was death by a thousand cuts.
37:31When you lost Danny, I felt like I lost you.
37:35And when I really needed you, you weren't there for me.
37:41Did we ever talk about it?
37:44What could I say?
37:46Compared to what you were going through,
37:47everything else felt trivial.
37:51I'm glad you're telling me now.
37:53And I know that I'm sorry
37:55sounds so hollow,
37:57but I am so sorry.
38:00I'll do whatever it takes
38:01to make this right.
38:04How do you even fix a thousand cuts?
38:07With a thousand stitches.
38:08How are you doing?
38:27I apologize to Liz.
38:29That's good.
38:31You sent Amy to talk to me.
38:32You needed it.
38:42I'm an army ranger.
38:44Asking for help, I don't...
38:46Leaning on people isn't a sign of weakness, TJ.
38:52I honestly don't know
38:53how I'm going to get through this.
39:02Have a good night.
39:10I had some memories.
39:13Of what?
39:14It doesn't matter.
39:17The point is,
39:18now at least I have some hope
39:20that maybe I can remember
39:21me
39:22and us.
39:26I know I can't ask you to wait.
39:29But you still want me to.
39:31You were never
39:32my security blanket, Jake.
39:35Never.
39:36Look, I know you're trying.
39:38But I just don't think
39:39you're being honest with yourself.
39:43If there was no Nora
39:44and Michael didn't have a baby
39:45and he said
39:47you should go home
39:48to him and Katie,
39:49would you really say no?
39:52Please.
39:54Just stop this.
40:00Sometimes I wonder
40:09if I'm ever gonna
40:11make it home again
40:13It's so far
40:16and out of sight
40:18I really need
40:23someone to talk to
40:25and nobody else
40:28knows how to hurt me tonight
40:32You buy it?
40:35Snow is cold, rain
40:38is wet
40:40chills my soul
40:44right to the marrow
40:46I won't be happy
40:51till I see you alone
40:54What are you doing?
40:56Till I'm home again
40:57Right, yeah, okay
40:59I just can't kick it

41:54Until I'm home again and feelin' right
42:01Until I'm home again and feelin' right
42:07I wanna be home again and feelin' right
42:24That's brutal
42:26Couple's counselling isn't helping?
42:30That's a legitimate question
42:32From the woman who thinks shrinks are all charlatans
42:36Individual therapy is just paying someone to watch you gaze at your navel and then ask how you feel about it
42:41But with a couple, at least it does force both parties to communicate
42:48What's there left to say?
42:50It hasn't already been said
42:52I'll tell you
42:54He's always held you back
42:55But now
42:56When you look at him, all you see is the man who you think let your son die
43:01That's bad for you
43:04What you have to do now is hard but clear
43:08You have no choice
43:11You have to leave him
43:22above all
43:26Perhaps you want to go for you
