00:01One of the most important skills doctors learn is how to keep their emotions in check.
00:05We call this skill Dr. Face.
00:07So during your son's surgery, we found a tumor. I'm so sorry.
00:13I wouldn't say the newbies were nailing it yet.
00:17It's about being professional.
00:23My Dr. Face had gotten better and better over the years.
00:27You've got something on your face, Asher.
00:30Looks like it's tomorrow.
00:31Nothing could rattle me.
00:33I'm not invited to the barbecue, but it's our tradition.
00:37J.D., we did it for 16 years. That's hardly a tradition.
00:40Oh, really? Then why did we record this last year?
00:43We're writing a prescription for our barbecue tradition.
00:47Yep.
00:47I'm already wishing for next year's edition of our barbecue tradition.
00:52Tradition.
00:55Okay, fine. Carla wants to do it with Elliot and Wes this year.
00:58You get it, buddy.
01:00Then you go to her and you fight for me.
01:01I'm not strong enough, J.D.
01:03She's going through menopause.
01:05She's having mood swings, night sweats, day sweats.
01:07She's always wearing sweats.
01:09I'm starting to avoid her.
01:10Hey, have you seen Turk?
01:12Okay, he's right.
01:15I haven't seen him.
01:19Oh, you just materialized. You're like Merlin.
01:22I've gotten good.
01:23I see you.
01:25I ain't mad at the back either.
01:26Okay, okay.
01:28We're super excited about the barbecue.
01:30Wes is bringing something called Pilot's Booty.
01:33It's first-class warm nuts mixed with Coach Pretzels.
01:37Oh, you could just bring ice.
01:39We'll figure out something else to bring.
01:40Save your Pilot's Booty for me.
01:43Okay.
01:43Good night.
01:46Another hot flash?
01:47Just shut up and fan me.
01:48I guess Carla wanted to hide her menopause, but it wasn't going to be easy.
01:55Lock your faces, everyone.
01:57Lock your faces.
02:11I've been thinking we should spend more time together.
02:14You know, really water the garden of our friendship.
02:16You're not coming to the barbecue, JD.
02:18Oh, is that happening?
02:18Our long-standing tradition of smoking meat and making memories that last a lifetime?
02:23I wasn't even thinking about it.
02:25Seriously, it's not about that.
02:27I just...
02:27I miss you.
02:29Don't be sweet with me right now.
02:30I can't handle it.
02:32Okay, thank you.
02:32Don't touch me.
02:33Okay.
02:36Mr. Butler, I'm Dr. Dorian.
02:39I'm sorry, is that ranch dressing?
02:41I brought my own from home.
02:42I'm kind of a ranch snob.
02:43Mr. Butler, if you don't make some serious lifestyle changes,
02:47you're going to suffer through bypass surgery for no reason.
02:50But I am making lifestyle changes.
02:51I take vitamins every day.
02:53I walk every day.
02:54I'm down to a jug a week.
02:56I'm putting in the work.
02:56Listen, I know making lifestyle changes is hard,
02:59but we're going to take this one step at a time.
03:01Something just as important as Dr. Face is nurse voice.
03:05And Carla was the best.
03:09Guys, we did everything we could.
03:11This was a high-risk case.
03:12Yeah, but that doesn't make telling the family any easier.
03:15And yet, you are so good at it.
03:18Actually, Deshauna, you're going to be the one to tell the Garcia family that he passed away.
03:22Oh, come on, man.
03:23Now, you know I'm not good at this.
03:25Hey, other people's feelings just bring up a lot of, you know.
03:29Feelings?
03:30Yes.
03:31Look, I'm not a crier.
03:32Okay?
03:33I'm not even a hugger.
03:33Uh-huh.
03:34Even in high school basketball, my coach told me to bring it in.
03:37Never did.
03:39Well, you're just like me.
03:41Hey, come on, Swin.
03:42No, no, it was a bad thing.
03:44I needed to work on it, and so do you.
03:45Look, that family is hurting.
03:47You need to step up and be there for them.
03:54Because that's the job.
03:57Even some of the old pros could struggle with Dr. Face.
04:01I am Mariah Carey.
04:04Don't look at me!
04:06But Elliot had other things on her mind.
04:09Girl, Wes just texted the funniest thing.
04:12It was not funny.
04:14All right, yeah.
04:15I get it.
04:15Cockpit means two things.
04:17Classic, right?
04:19Wait, do you not like him?
04:21I mean, I don't really know him yet, but I'm sure he's perfectly fine.
04:26Elliot's relationship wasn't the only one under scrutiny.
04:30Shaggy.
04:33I really do need some gauze.
04:35Sorry.
04:37Bye.
04:40Okay, anytime you have a hot flash,
04:44ice cream in the morgue is our new go-to.
04:48I'm just glad you're finally talking about the change.
04:51Call it that one more time, you're going to find yourself in one of those drawers.
04:53I'm not Teen Wolf.
04:55Carla as Teen Wolf?
04:58Don't get distracted.
04:59She needs you.
05:00Hey, tell me.
05:02What's been going on?
05:05It's been so hard, J.D.
05:07I'm anxious, I'm moody, I can't sleep.
05:10I'm finding hair in the strangest places.
05:12Well, bet you are.
05:14Hey!
05:15Sorry.
05:16You know what really sucks?
05:17I'm doing everything that I used to at home and at work.
05:20I always feel like I'm coming up short.
05:22Mm-hmm.
05:24I hate aging.
05:25Well, if it makes you feel any better,
05:27the only thing longer than my father's earlobes
05:30were his testicles.
05:32So I've got that coming for me.
05:35You know, that does make me feel better.
05:38Please don't make me do this.
05:39I want to cut stuff, but not talk to families.
05:42I'll just be a butcher.
05:44Deshaun, I'm going to give you some advice
05:45that's gotten me through some really hard times.
05:49The only way to grow is to face challenges
05:52that seem beyond your strength.
05:54That's on the poster behind me, isn't it?
05:57It is.
05:57Put your doctor face on and get in there.
06:03Um, Mrs. Garcia,
06:05I am so sorry.
06:08We did everything we could.
06:10Your husband didn't make it.
06:14It's just so hard.
06:15He worked all the time.
06:17He was such a good dad.
06:22It feels like you guys could just
06:25hug each other now.
06:26No.
06:27No, no, no.
06:28You guys are in great hands.
06:30Take all the time you need.
06:39For some reason, Amara really reminded me of myself.
06:49Give me a hug.
06:50Uh-uh.
06:51Let me guess.
06:51You've been kissing Asher again.
06:53That's the craziest thing I've ever done.
06:55And now that I've got a taste
06:56of this crazy girl lifestyle,
06:57I want more.
06:58I want to try sushi, pole dancing.
07:00I want to flash a trucker.
07:01And, uh...
07:02I love this for you,
07:04but you still live with your aunt.
07:06So you might want to stay off the pole.
07:08Maybe try going out with us on a Saturday night
07:11instead of making pasta
07:12and watching the Great British bake off with her.
07:13You're right.
07:14We're going out on Saturday night.
07:16We're going out on Saturday night.
07:17Oh, my God.
07:18On Saturday night.
07:18Hey, we're going out on Saturday night.
07:21So, shades inside, huh?
07:24Cool.
07:25Looks like we're going to get you started
07:26on IV antibiotics for your cellulitis.
07:29What you are going to get started on
07:31is this list.
07:34And this dressing room is unacceptable.
07:40Baby, you was falling asleep again.
07:42Again?
07:43What does that mean, again?
07:44You're always saying again.
07:45I wasn't nothing.
07:45I'll just be talking sometimes.
07:46I have an energy-boost smoothie
07:49for the hardest-working woman in the hospital.
07:51I call it the Mango Paws.
07:55It's funny.
07:57Yeah, it's so funny.
07:58I got to get some more napkins for my armpits.
08:01Okay.
08:02Would you like to borrow some of my thunder
08:04since I stole all of yours?
08:06J.D., I'm going to tell you something right now.
08:08You sound like that guy who went to go live
08:09with the grizzly bears.
08:10At first, he was like,
08:11I'm a grizzly man.
08:12They love me.
08:13And then one day, they tore his ass up.
08:14Don't hate me just because I understand women.
08:17You know, I should really teach a course
08:19for less enlightened guys like you.
08:21I could call it,
08:21Hey, man, Paws.
08:24Turg, you can still eat sweet barbecue sauce
08:27with your diabetes, right?
08:29Yeah.
08:30I mean, I got my pod.
08:31I can dose insulin from my phone
08:33for any meal I want.
08:34Then we have some big news.
08:36Wes is flying a pair of lungs
08:37to save a smoker in Kansas City.
08:39And then I'm stopping at a smoker in Kansas City
08:41to pick you up,
08:42the best brisket in the country.
08:46Wow, that's really nice.
08:48Wow, thank you, Wes.
08:49It's okay, Turg.
08:50You can be happy
08:50even though I'm not invited to the barbecue.
08:53Kansas City brisket, here we come.
08:55Let's go.
08:56I'm going to put a hex on his belly.
08:58Where is my witchcraft workbook?
09:02So, Turg seemed excited.
09:04Most meat makes Turg excited.
09:06Three of our daughters
09:07are because they kept bringing back the McRib.
09:10Carla, do you like Wes or not?
09:12Honestly, I thought your first fling
09:14would be a lot more exciting.
09:16He flies a plane in the sky.
09:19Yeah.
09:20You think that'd be more interesting?
09:22Hmm.
09:24I have something to show you
09:25behind this curtain.
09:30So, when I told my dad about us,
09:32he said that when you really like someone,
09:33you should do something for them every day
09:35to let them know.
09:36His name is Asher Bear.
09:39You told your dad about us?
09:41Mm-hmm.
09:42It's been less than a week.
09:43We haven't even made out
09:44in real clothes yet.
09:45Well, that's long enough for me
09:46to know how I feel about you.
09:48Yeah, yeah.
09:50Yeah, when I visualized this moment,
09:52there was more kissing
09:52and less backing away.
09:55That sounds...
09:55Yeah.
09:57Yeah.
09:59When you open your locker,
10:00there may be an eruption of flowers.
10:02Please disregard.
10:04Deshauna,
10:05I'm going to be honest with you.
10:06You failed the Garcia family
10:07big time.
10:09But good news,
10:10you get to retake the test.
10:11Okay, retake the test.
10:12Mrs. Garcia knows he's dead.
10:14I made that very clear.
10:16Remember when the Garcia family
10:17was saying how he was always away working?
10:19Yeah.
10:20Yeah, what he was working on
10:21was hiding his second family.
10:24Ooh, second family.
10:25This is my favorite kind of hospital gossip.
10:28Second only to when the baby
10:29come out the wrong color.
10:32Oh, God, I cannot believe this.
10:34Me neither.
10:35Mr. Garcia was not cute.
10:38Fresh Flowers Fruit Bowl Perrier.
10:40Who does she think she is?
10:42Mariah Carey.
10:44She was very clear.
10:45She suffers from psychosis.
10:47Like, you got to treat
10:47the whole patient.
10:49even if that means
10:50supporting some
10:51of her delusions.
10:53What?
10:54How am I supposed to do that?
10:56Look,
10:58Blake,
10:58you're the best intern
10:59in this place.
11:00You'll figure it out.
11:01Oh,
11:02the best?
11:03Really?
11:04See how good that made you feel?
11:06Support the delusion.
11:08Being kind
11:09is part of being the best,
11:11Blake.
11:14How come I only have
11:15two patients?
11:17Oh,
11:17child,
11:18Dr. Dorian asked us
11:19to cut your workload
11:19into what you can handle.
11:20Yeah, we got you, baby.
11:22The way you carried us
11:23when we first came on,
11:24we're gonna carry you now.
11:25Mm,
11:25hallelujah.
11:26Mm,
11:27mm,
11:29mm,
11:30mm,
11:32mm,
11:33mm,
11:33observe, Turk.
11:34What's possible
11:35if you stop running
11:36from Carla's needs
11:37and start anticipating them?
11:39Hey.
11:41How dare you?
11:42What now?
11:42Mm-hmm?
11:43Carla can't handle
11:43being a nurse anymore.
11:45Carla's a failure
11:46at everything.
11:47Yeah, man,
11:48how dare you?
11:49Carla,
11:49I was just trying to help.
11:50You're overreacting.
11:51It's probably just the hormones.
11:54Just the hormones?
11:57Hormones!
12:01Oh,
12:01I'm sorry,
12:02wait.
12:02You better give me back
12:03my patience
12:04because I was here
12:05on your first date
12:06and I can sure as hell
12:07make this you last.
12:13Merlin.
12:14Tore your ass up.
12:17Ha ha ha!
12:21Ha ha ha!
12:23I know just how
12:24to fix this.
12:26Carla,
12:26I'm really sorry.
12:27I'll give you
12:27all your patience back.
12:28I didn't mean to...
12:29Oh no,
12:33she's Dominican, Matt.
12:35I wonder what
12:36testiculose means.
12:38Okay, Manny,
12:39how are we...
12:39Oh, dude,
12:40come on,
12:41you gotta be kidding me.
12:42We talked about this.
12:44Sorry.
12:44Every time I eat it,
12:45I'm sitting at my grandma's table.
12:47She used to put it on everything.
12:50It's a part of my life
12:51and I can't let go of it.
12:52If only Carla
12:54wasn't mad at me
12:54and could use
12:55her nurse voice,
12:56maybe I could
12:57give it a shot.
12:58You know, Manny,
12:59I get the connection
13:01to grandma's.
13:03I remember having
13:04pollo
13:05and plantains
13:06with my abuela
13:07and her testiculos.
13:09Nope,
13:09that felt wrong.
13:10I'll be back.
13:19I need to say this fast
13:20because I'm nervous.
13:21I'm having so much fun
13:22with you,
13:23but I don't think
13:24we're on the same page.
13:25I mean, you know,
13:26I haven't done a lot
13:26as an adult.
13:27I haven't even tried sushi
13:28and you've probably had sushi
13:29with a bunch of people.
13:30While I have had
13:31a lot of sushi,
13:33it was meaningful sushi
13:34with just a few people.
13:36Actually,
13:36I'm talking about
13:37actual sushi.
13:38I mean,
13:39there's a lot of things
13:39I haven't done.
13:40I just want to keep
13:41it cash.
13:42Yeah, I'm glad
13:43you said it first.
13:44Yeah, let's keep this fun
13:45and meaningless
13:46and empty.
13:47Totally.
13:47We'll accept a little fun.
13:49I'll see you later then.
13:50Yeah, or maybe you won't.
13:52I don't care.
13:53I'm so glad we talked.
13:59Look, I know
14:00it's hard to say goodbye.
14:06Goodbye.
14:11You know what?
14:12Go ahead.
14:13Be mad.
14:14I don't care anymore.
14:17I am not good at that
14:20and I never will be.
14:22You know what I am good at?
14:24Surgery.
14:25And that is my job.
14:26It's not crying.
14:27It's not hugs.
14:28Why are you grinning?
14:29Because when I hear you talk,
14:30all I hear is stupid
14:3125-year-old me.
14:33All you're missing
14:34is the tracksuit
14:35and the gold chains.
14:36Yeah, I got them both.
14:38Tashana, this is part of the job.
14:40Come on,
14:41if you can't do this here,
14:41how are you expecting
14:42to do this for the people
14:43in your life?
14:43Well, I don't have
14:44emotionally needy people
14:45in my life.
14:47Who put this here?
14:49Why is everybody
14:50against me?
14:54You will, young Turk.
14:57You will.
14:59Baby!
15:06How's it going?
15:07Your wife is dead.
15:09Some aging, incompetent bitch
15:11has taken her place.
15:13Don't you talk about
15:14my wife that way.
15:17That's true.
15:18Mm-hmm.
15:20You know,
15:21this job was always hard.
15:24But it was always fun.
15:27Now,
15:30it's just hard.
15:32I can't keep up.
15:34Finally.
15:37Interesting choice
15:38of last words.
15:38I should finish.
15:40You've always been
15:41smarter than me,
15:42stronger than me.
15:44When I was that
15:45cocky-ass intern,
15:47you always had my back.
15:50Now,
15:50for the first time,
15:51you actually need me.
15:54And I get to be there
15:55for you.
15:57I love you.
15:58I know.
16:01Okay,
16:02get off me.
16:02I'm hot.
16:03You guys will always
16:04have each other,
16:05and I'm super happy,
16:05but I just want to remind you
16:06that I might die alone.
16:07You're not coming
16:08to the barbecue, J.D.
16:09Damn it.
16:10All right.
16:11I hope this is all
16:12up to your standards.
16:14That's much better.
16:15Now it looks nice
16:15for when my family
16:16comes to see me.
16:17Great.
16:18I hope they come.
16:23I haven't seen my family
16:24in so long.
16:25And there it was,
16:27the slippery slope
16:28of kindness.
16:29I hope they come, too.
16:32Maybe if I put on
16:33a concert.
16:34And I'd obviously
16:35need backup dancers.
16:36Of course.
16:38I'll see what I can do,
16:39Miss Carrie.
16:41Hey, Manny,
16:42Nurse Espinosa
16:43has something
16:44she needs to tell you.
16:45Oh, no, please.
16:46Hey, not my ranch.
16:47Manny, your body
16:48can't handle the things
16:49it used to
16:49when it was younger.
16:50You have to let go.
16:52You might suffer
16:52some ranch withdrawal syndrome.
16:54I don't think
16:55that's a thing.
16:56But the people
16:57who love you
16:57will help you through.
17:00Okay.
17:06Come here.
17:07Come here.
17:08Oh, here.
17:09It's okay.
17:10You take this
17:11big jug of ranch
17:12and you use it
17:14at the barbecue
17:14that I'm not
17:15invited to.
17:17Elliot.
17:18Hmm?
17:19I hope you're not
17:20mad at me
17:20because of Wes.
17:21I've just been
17:22so moody.
17:23You know,
17:23the funny thing is
17:24I kept waiting
17:24to spiral,
17:25but then I didn't.
17:26And then I spiraled
17:27about not spiraling,
17:27but then I realized
17:28I just don't care.
17:31Maybe that's a good
17:31part of what getting older.
17:32I do not give
17:33two fricks
17:34about what anyone thinks,
17:35so you can say
17:36whatever you want
17:36about Wes.
17:38Thank God.
17:39Because he's a little dull
17:41and not funny
17:41and I think he looks
17:42like the man
17:43in the yellow hat
17:43from Curious George.
17:47Have you ever thought
17:48about hormone therapy?
17:54Oh, sorry.
17:55Oh, you're alone.
17:56Sorry.
17:57I thought you'd be
17:57making out
17:57with your girlfriend.
17:59Uh, she's not
17:59my girlfriend.
18:00She wants to keep
18:01things cash.
18:02Why do you Americans
18:03abbreviate everything?
18:05IDK,
18:05okay, but I'm guessing
18:06that's not what you want.
18:09No, but I understand
18:10how she feels.
18:12When I was 16,
18:13my dad got sick,
18:14so I moved over here
18:15to care for him.
18:17I know what it's like
18:18to miss out on being young
18:19or experiencing life
18:20because of someone else.
18:22I'm so sorry.
18:23I didn't know that happened.
18:27Dr. Face
18:28at the obvious
18:29sexual tension.
18:32And now he thinks
18:33we're banging.
18:34Great.
18:39The most important part
18:40of Dr. Face
18:41is knowing when
18:41to drop it.
18:42Like when you finally
18:43understand that your
18:44attending was just
18:45trying to teach you
18:46a little compassion.
18:50And I want to skydive.
18:52And I want to dance
18:53on a table.
18:54Or when you realize
18:55it's okay to open up
18:56to someone who's
18:57a little more needy.
18:58And I want to go to the movies
18:59and buy overpriced concessions
19:00instead of sneaking
19:01in my aunt's giant bag
19:02of Pissachios.
19:03All right.
19:04A cute crazy thing
19:05to put on your list.
19:06What about moving
19:07out of your aunt's?
19:08Yes.
19:08And moving in with you.
19:09Oh, Amara.
19:11Wait.
19:13Wait, yeah.
19:14Why the hell not?
19:15Wait, seriously?
19:16Yeah.
19:17Whether it's a new friendship
19:18or an old one,
19:20we get by by leaning
19:21on each other.
19:22You can cut my patient load.
19:26It was just really hard
19:29for me to admit
19:29that Bambi knew best.
19:32I get it.
19:34You know why I didn't
19:35invite you to the barbecue?
19:37Turk said it's because
19:38last time I ate too much
19:39of the collard greens.
19:40I can see through
19:41your doctor face.
19:42I've always been able to.
19:44You're scared.
19:46Like that first week
19:47when I named you Bambi
19:48and placed all your IVs
19:50for you.
19:51You're afraid
19:52of moving on.
19:54But if I keep coddling you
19:56and inviting you
19:57to all the comfy,
19:58familiar barbecues,
20:00you're never going to find
20:01the life that's waiting
20:02for you.
20:04And by life that's
20:05waiting for you,
20:06I mean an accomplished
20:07woman that I can actually
20:08have a conversation with,
20:09okay?
20:09I'll always be Bambi
20:11and Carla would always
20:12take care of me.
20:13My first day, Bambi.
20:15Carla will take care of you.
20:18Some things change.
20:20Some things don't.
20:32And why is this
20:33limited edition figurine
20:34in your stomach?
20:35Because mint condition
20:36Astro Boy is worth
20:37$15,000
20:38and I was not about
20:39to pay 6%
20:40to Japanese customs.
20:41So I swallowed
20:42that little bitch.
20:45Give the team
20:46a moment to discuss.
20:47Doctor Face exit.
20:52That guy's like
20:53a walking Happy Meal.
20:54That is not going to be
20:55a mint condition
20:56once Astro Boy
20:57blasts his way
20:58to freedom.
21:00Doctor Face check-in.
21:03Let's do this.
21:08Me and my crack team
21:09are going in.
21:11Spread them.
21:13Bye-bye.
21:14Bye-bye.
21:16Bye-bye.
21:17Bye-bye.
21:18Bye-bye.
21:20Bye-bye.
21:20Bye-bye.
21:20Bye-bye.
