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.
05:53Yeah.
05:54I'm so glad you're okay.
05:55Come on.
05:56Come on.
05:57Come on.
05:58I just wanted to say congrats.
06:00Thank you, Amy.
06:02How's it, Amy?
06:04Good. Good.
06:06Does he have a name yet?
06:08Still working on it.
06:10I'd...
06:12I'd better get back.
06:14I'm so glad you're okay.
06:28Dr. Larson?
06:30Sorry, I just... Can 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.
06:48The ER gave her meds to ease the pain.
06:51My doula wasn't worried, but 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, kind of off the grid.
07:02We don't believe in traditional medicine.
07:05I know what you're thinking, but, uh...
07:08Our 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, I'd love to take a look, so I'm gonna do another ultrasound.
07:23So, um...
07:29No one came with you?
07:31No.
07:32My baby's dad left a few months ago.
07:35Doesn't live with us anymore.
07:37It's okay.
07:38I'm really lucky.
07:40My kid will be raised by 20 people instead of just two.
07:44Um, this shouldn't take well.
07:46Oh, it's cold.
07:48Sorry.
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.
08:08Rounded belly.
08:09Pronounced breast changes.
08:10Sensation of fetal movement.
08:12Came 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.
08:20So why do you need me?
08:22Because of what it didn't show.
08:24There's no baby in her uterus.
08:26Blood work shows that there never was.
08:34What are you doing here?
08:36Uh, I just...
08:37I can't right now.
08:38Just give me a minute.
08:42Did you start my patient on furosemide?
08:46Yeah.
08:47Her O2 sats were dropped.
08:48She has chronic kidney failure.
08:49I checked her lab.
08:50She 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 vasopress.
08:58That raised her blood pressure but didn't address her heart failure
09:01or low ejection fraction.
09:04So what did she need, Dr. Clark?
09:08Do 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.
09:237-0-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,
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.
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
09:45or cult or whatever it is,
09:47or what she knows about medicine.
09:49Okay, good.
09:50Because pseudosiasis has to be handled very delicately.
09:52The safest path forward is to treat Megan
09:54as if she's really pregnant.
09:56Lie to her.
09:57Yes.
09:58And throw full disclosure out the window.
10:01Do 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.
10:10Telling 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 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,
10:24you'll have to rip off the band-aid.
10:33What's wrong?
10:35I think I'm having a delayed reaction to the tank.
10:38You're having memories?
10:39I mean, they're not like the memories that I had
10:40when 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
10:51or why it matters.
10:52If 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.
11:01How about Sean?
11:04Are 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 going to name my son Sutton.
11:19How about...
11:22Simon?
11:25For my dad.
11:29Hey, new parents.
11:31Congrats.
11:32Can I steal him a moment?
11:35I assume you mean Michael?
11:37So, when are you taking your paternity leave?
11:39I figured in a month or two when the baby nurse leaves.
11:42Sooner is better.
11:44Like today.
11:45This is about what happened with Yunos.
11:47You put our accreditation at risk
11:49and 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, let the smoke clear,
12:07and by the time you get back the 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.
12:20Hey there.
12:28Hey.
12:31My mom's to here?
12:33Where else would I be?
12:36Hi baby.
12:37You feeling okay?
12:38Yeah.
12:40You didn't tell Liz any family secrets, did you?
12:42Well actually she told me all about your obsessions with Uncrustables.
12:47Hey TJ.
12:48How are you feeling?
12:49Good.
12:50Better when I can get out of here.
12:52What do you think doc?
12:53Couple days?
12:54Mind if I have a look?
12:58Ooh.
12:59Nice job with the wound closure.
13:01You are healing well, but I'm afraid you need to lower your expectations
13:06about how soon you're getting back to normal.
13:09Your 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 gonna need a lot of rehab
13:17to get your strength back.
13:18How long we talking?
13:19Maybe six months before you can walk normally again.
13:23About a year before you can run or play sports.
13:26Yep.
13:27I'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.
13:39Sure.
13:40I gotta go, but dad will be by later.
13:41He should still get some rest.
13:42I'm okay.
13:43How are you doing?
13:44I got snacks.
13:45I'm good.
13:46I mean after yesterday.
13:47Been through much worse.
13:48Besides, I'm not the one who got hit in the head.
13:49You got your CT yet?
13:50Yep.
13:51All good.
13:52I'm gonna take two Tylenol and call myself in the morning.
13:55Uh, listen.
13:56About the other day, I'm gonna take two Tylenol and call myself in the morning.
14:02Uh, listen.
14:03About the other day, I...
14:04No.
14:05I told you.
14:06We're good.
14:07Anyway, doesn't matter.
14:08Amy, me.
14:09We're good.
14:10I'm gonna take two Tylenol and call myself in the morning.
14:11Uh, listen.
14:12About the other day, I...
14:13No.
14:14I told you.
14:15We're good.
14:16Anyway, doesn't matter.
14:17Amy and me, we're not together anymore so...
14:21Oh, um.
14:22Sorry.
14:23No, you're not, but...
14:26Thank you for trying.
14:27Well, I am sorry you're hurting.
14:29Uh, but yeah.
14:31You deserve better.
14:32All right.
14:33No, no.
14:34I'm sorry.
14:35No, no.
14:36I could have an issue.
14:37No, no, no.
14:38I'm sorry.
14:39You're hurting.
14:40Do you?
14:41I'm sorry.
14:42You're hurting.
14:43Uh, but yeah.
14:45You deserve better.
14:47Appreciate it.
14:49This cam will give us a clear picture of what's causing your discomfort.
14:53This is Dr. Walker.
14:55She'll assist.
14:57A few questions before we get started.
14:59When 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?
15:16Yeah.
15:16That's when I really started showing.
15:19Do you have any family we can contact?
15:21No.
15:22I was raised in foster care.
15:25Moved around a lot.
15:26I 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.
15:37Anne?
15:38Um, sorry, who are you?
15:39I am Megan's family, and you may not do a CT scan on her.
15:43We don't take orders from you.
15:44It's bad for the baby.
15:46It 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.
15:53Okay, I will.
15:54Megan.
15:56I'm sorry, Sister Anne.
15:57I just had to make sure the baby's okay.
15:59We'll take care of you both.
16:00You can't trust these people.
16:01She can, and she clearly knows that, or she wouldn't have traveled four hours to get here.
16:06Megan.
16:06Megan, I can't put radiation in my baby.
16:09Then we can do an MRI which doesn't use radiation.
16:13Her pain will only get worse if she leaves here without treatment.
16:19Fine.
16:20But when she goes, I go.
16:22Big mistake there?
16:33He's a good doctor.
16:34I'm just tired of running circles around everyone.
16:37Well, I was in the neighborhood.
16:40Thought I'd say hello and show you these.
16:43Tchaikovsky's fifth.
16:48Box right above the string section.
16:50I wish I could go.
16:51Having dinner with Joan.
16:53Can't you reschedule?
16:55Oh, she's only here for two weeks before she goes to Thailand.
16:58Amy.
16:58Katie, I'll go with you.
16:59We need a night out for us.
17:05It's three o'clock.
17:08Next time, plan it beforehand.
17:10Look, I need to get back to work.
17:12I will see you at home.
17:13Well, well, look who's back.
17:19Oh, congratulations, Dad.
17:23It's very nice of you to come up here to say that.
17:25Oh, that's not why I came up.
17:27There's the Joan we know and love.
17:28I understand you're in the unenviable position of trying to find a new chief of internal medicine.
17:33Oh, yeah.
17:34So a friend asked me to put in a good word.
17:35Nick Facitelli.
17:36Oh, I'll have my assistant set up a meeting.
17:39Oh, God, no.
17:40I wouldn't do that to you.
17:40He's awful.
17:41But who else are you looking at?
17:44Well, Tori Davis has great credentials.
17:46She does.
17:47Unfortunately, she's a serial sexual harasser.
17:50Ah.
17:50I mean.
17:52Max also mentioned Joseph Liu.
17:55Oh, he'd be great.
17:56But I'm pretty sure he died three months ago.
17:59Well, not ideal then.
18:01Um, a word of advice.
18:04Don't hire anyone who's asking for it.
18:07And I just want to say congrats and hi.
18:11You're sure this won't hurt the baby?
18:14The MRI is not harmful.
18:16Our goal is to heal people, not hurt them.
18:18I know you don't understand the way we live, but I will be just as much a mother to that
18:22baby as Megan.
18:22I'm sure it'll be wonderful for her to have that support.
18:26When she came to us, she was quite lost.
18:29What?
18:30Everyone can see what this baby has done for her.
18:32Oh, for God's sake, there's no baby.
18:35What are you talking about?
18:36You brainwashed her into needing it to feel special.
18:40And now, here we are.
18:42That is not possible.
18:43She is obviously pregnant.
18:45No.
18:46Megan's suffering from a complex delusion that causes her body to mimic the effects of pregnancy.
18:52It's rare.
18:53So you're manipulating her.
18:54No more than you people are.
18:55And we'd better talk outside.
19:01You all think your way is so much better.
19:03I'm not debating this.
19:04What matters is, Megan, do you care about her?
19:06Of course I do.
19:07Well, she has a tumor.
19:08If we don't treat it, she could die.
19:10That landing?
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.
19:18We need to treat her physically first.
19:19And if I decide to take her someplace else to do that?
19:22You're right.
19:24We don't know you or what's going on, where you're from.
19:27But whatever it is, I have DCYF, state police, and the FBI on speed dial.
19:32So if you even think about trying to move her or breathe one word of this to Megan,
19:36you'll have an army of blue windbreakers knocking down your doors.
19:39I'm assuming that's not what you want.
19:43I need to make a call.
19:4918 inches long.
19:50Head circumference, 30 centimeters.
19:53You're doing great, little buddy.
19:56Assuming the lab tests come back normal, you can take him home today.
20:00Does he look jaundiced to you?
20:04It's faint.
20:05Fairly common.
20:06Yeah, bililite, maybe?
20:08Just to be safe?
20:09It'll resolve itself in a few hours.
20:12Right.
20:12I do think it would be a good idea to get an echo.
20:17His cardiac auscultation is completely normal.
20:20That would really be unnecessary.
20:25Please.
20:27Paging Dr. Barrett to ICU.
20:30Paging Dr. Barrett to ICU.
20:31Paging Dr. Barrett.
20:32Oh, okay.
20:34No.
20:35Let me call you back, okay?
20:37We'll find out.
20:38TJ, 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.
21:20Oh 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.
21:33You need to make decisions for yourself.
21:40Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
21:43I'm sorry.
21:47I'm sorry.
21:48I know that you're just scared.
21:49When 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?
22:05He was fine.
22:05And 16 years later, we have amazing technology and even better doctors.
22:13You have nothing to be afraid of.
22:20Is it true you can see the sex from the ultrasound?
22:25Did you see?
22:25Usually, but because of the way the baby was positioned, I couldn't.
22:34That's okay.
22:36The name I picked works either way.
22:39Jordan.
22:41It's a beautiful name.
22:43Okay.
22:51You can do the biopsy.
22:54I 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.
23:45Amy, 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.
24:03I'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?
24:12I 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 your life,
24:25just like you did for all those years after your son died.
24:29And everything that happened yesterday, all of us being held at gunpoint.
24:34Do you realize you 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,
24:44it was misguided and narcissistic to begin with,
24:47but now we know it puts people in danger.
24:50So I'm going to say what no one else will.
24:53You 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.
25:20Okay, thanks.
25:21You'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.
25:49You have no choice.
25:51You okay?
25:53I just had a memory from the missing years, and 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.
26:28Yeah.
26:28I'd love that.
26:29Okay.
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.
26:49He'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.
27:15He's not replacing Danny.
27:20Trust me, you have enough room in your heart for them both.
27:25Michael?
27:27Hey.
27:29I was, I have a patient on this floor, and I...
27:33Congrats.
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.
28:23I got it.
28:33Okay.
28:36She's in V-fib.
28:37Clear the field, I need to shock the patient.
28:39Doesn't make sense, she's got no cardiac history.
28:43It's not V-fib.
28:43She's having myoclonic tetany.
28:47No, no, stop, stop.
28:48Wait, it's not cardiac, it's a hormonal storm caused by the tumor.
28:51Two milligrams of IV lorazopam.
28:52Are you sure?
28:53Do it.
28:53Do it.
29:05Tetany stopped.
29:06We got an almost sinus rhythm again.
29:09I got it all.
29:15And she's sleeping now.
29:17Good.
29:19It's almost over.
29:20Not for Megan.
29:21For her, the hell is just about to start.
29:29Hey, Jordan Collier is here to see you.
29:33Megan's brother.
29:35Jordan was her name for the baby.
29:37I tried 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.
30:03Then he really checked out.
30:05For 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.
30:19In light of my failure at intervention, I started thinking, your case must be structural.
30:2511 days ago at the gym, did you work shoulders?
30:27Yeah, yeah, I did shrugs.
30:29Okay.
30:31Raise your right arm.
30:33Something's supposed to happen.
30:35You're going to know when you feel it.
30:36Now you're left?
30:39There's a tingling in my fingers.
30:41Congratulations, you have a lipoma.
30:44Right 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.
30:56This is your ultrasound from this morning.
31:01There's no baby there.
31:03There was never a baby.
31:06No.
31:07No, look at me.
31:08I'm pregnant.
31:09I know it's hard to process, but you have a condition where your body mimics...
31:12No, 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, no.
31:20She would never leave us.
31:21Well, she left because there's no baby.
31:22No, no, no.
31:24You took my baby.
31:25Where's my baby?
31:26Go, go, go, go.
31:26Open your arm up.
31:27Don't pull it out.
31:28Right, grab her arm.
31:29Fuck.
31:29I hear you're not being a very good patient.
31:46Uh, where are you?
31:49Um, I inserted myself into Jake's case from my bedside.
31:53Almost killed his patient.
31:55And I crashed a board meeting with a bandage on my head, demanding to come back to work.
31:59So, not so much.
32:02I think I was out that day.
32:04Shame I missed it.
32:05Do 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.
32:24I need to know if you still love her.
32:28Nora.
32:29It'll break my heart.
32:31But it'll be a thousand times worse if you deny it because you feel guilty.
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.
33:09Maybe 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.
33:23Or you can take the harder 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.
33:42I'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 being 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.
34:28Of course.
34:29Of course, Michael.
34:31I'll do whatever I can.
34:33How'd it go?
34:46You tell us.
34:53Okay, 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 ya?
35:14Hi.
35:15Don't you have a baby to take home?
35:18First, I have a proposition.
35:20Oh.
35:21Okay.
35:21I 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.
35:36Okay, 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.
35:49We 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?
36:04No.
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.
36:18No 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
36:30one day a week of 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?
36:42It'll take some time, but she'll be okay.
37:01Do you think the me from a year ago
37:02would have had a problem lying to her like that?
37:05No.
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.
37:16What did I do to you, Gina?
37:25Let's just say it was death by a thousand cuts.
37:28When you lost Danny,
37:33I felt like I lost you.
37:35And when I really needed you,
37:38you 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,
37:48everything else felt trivial.
37:50I'm glad you're telling me now.
37:53And I know that I'm sorry sounds so hollow,
37:57but I am so sorry.
38:00I'll do whatever it takes to make this right.
38:04How do you even fix a thousand cuts?
38:07With a thousand stitches.
38:24How you doing?
38:27I apologize to Liz.
38:29That's good.
38:31You sent Amy to talk to me.
38:37You 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.
38:49I honestly don't know how I'm going to get through this.
38:53Have a good night.
39:09I have some memories.
39:13Of what?
39:14It doesn't matter.
39:15The point is, now at least I have some hope
39:20that maybe I can remember me and 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.
39:35Look, I know you're trying.
39:38But I just don't think you're being honest with yourself.
39:43If there was no Nora and Michael didn't have a baby
39:45and he said you should go home to him and Katie,
39:49would you really say no?
39:49Please.
39:54Just stop this.
40:06Sometimes I wonder
40:09If I'm ever gonna make it home again
40:13It's so far and out of sight
40:18You look like you could use a drink.
40:32You buy it.
40:39Oh, he's...
40:40Oh, he's...
40:41Oh, he's...
40:43Oh, he's...
40:44Oh, he's...
40:46Oh, he's...
40:48I won't be happy till I see you alone
40:53Yeah?
40:54What are you doing?
40:55Till I'm home again
40:57You're right.
40:58Yeah, I'm going to keep kicking it.
41:01Lady...
41:02Baby...
41:05Baby...
41:16Snow 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 feel right
41:57Till I'm home again and feel right
42:05I wanna be home again and feel right
42:12That's brutal.
42:26Couple's counselling isn't helping?
42:30That's a legitimate question.
42:31From 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.
42:53He's always held you back.
42:55But now, when 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.
43:12You have to leave him.
43:31You have to leave him.
