- Previously on Nurses.

- I need things to be simple.

♪
- Your girlfriend kissed me.

- I broke up with Mo.
- I didn't mean to
mess up your life.

- It just kind of happened.
- Don't screw things up
with Naz.

- You were right. I don't want
to mess up what we already have.

- (woman): You might say that
a hospital is a wish factory.

A patient wishes
for the pain to stop

or a parent wishes
for their child's surgery

to be a success.
♪

Some wish they'll get
a second chance

to fix their mistakes,
a chance to live life

the way they've always wished
they could.

Superstitions are just
wishes on repeat.

Like nurses tying a knot
in the corner of a bedsheet

wishing for their patient
to make it through the night.

But hospitals aren't magic,

we can only make things happen
with our own strength and will

Sometimes at the expense
of our own wishes.

Because only one thing
is certain:

whatever happens
inside these walls...

- Good morning, Grace.
- ...you're gonna need

our help.

- Or not.

- Sorry, I just found out
that my patient,

Mr. Jeffries,
passed away last night.

- Aww... Oh no.

- He was doing so much better
when I left him.

- Sorry. I know how much
you liked him.

(Grace sighing)

- Well, the day can
only get better from here.

- Is something you should
never, ever say.

But I also would very much like
to believe it.

- You used up all the massages
in your health plan, didn't you?
- I needed it, OK?

Ten a year is just not enough.
I need... need ten a month.

- What you need to do
is read this.

It's a very negative patient
assessment form about you.

- What? This... this guy?
Worked my ass off for this guy.

I skipped my break
just to irrigate his sinuses.

Things came out of there I don't
even want to think about.

Where's the gratitude?
- If you say so, I'll ignore it,

but remember
what time it is, Mr. Wolf.
- (Wolf): It's time to remember

that we're not in it
for the glory. I know, I know.

I just wish I knew what I did
to rub this guy the wrong way.

(sighing)
- Someone's looking

at you, Naz.
- And I'm not looking back.

- What's going on there?
- Don't want to talk about it.

I don't need
any more bad advice.

- OK, let's start
with the good news!

Our beloved St. Mary's donors
dug deep for Nursing Week,

and we've made some improvements
to the lounge

based on your wish list.

Bye-bye,
crappy pod coffee maker.

Hello, new super automatic
espresso machine.

We've also fixed
all the broken lockers

and replaced the microwave
in here. I am going

to remind staff one last time
that microwaving

fish in this room is
a fireable offence.

Any questions
before shift begins?

- Yeah. Uh, everyone's talking
about the coronavirus.

I have patients,
their families, my family

all wanting to know
what's our plan here.

- Yeah. We are, uh...
monitoring the situation

and communicating
with other healthcare centres.

For now, it's business as usual.
I hope it'll stay that way.

There's a staff meeting about
this tonight; I'd like you
to be there.

- Then I'll be there.
- Thank you.

Now, let's get to it.
♪

- Miss Ish!

I see we have a broken wing.
This happened

two days ago.
- Cycling near Blue Mountain.

They said I could get
a lighter cast here.

- We'll set you up. You can even
choose your favourite colour.

(exhaling)
Hey, are you doing OK?

- I'm fine.
- Watch your shoes, guy.
She's fixing to vomit.

- Thank you for your input, sir,
but I have the situation
under control.

Oh, OK! We're gonna need
somewhere to lie down.
You're gonna be OK.

It's alright.
♪

Could I get a cleanup over here?
- Told you.

- You're a nurse.
- Nice diagnosis, rookie.

- How do you know I'm a rookie?
- Well, could be

the puddle you're standing in.
Anyone could have

told you she was set to pop.
- Sorry,

why aren't you at your own
hospital instead of mine?

- Just here on my lunch
break to see Dr. Dixon.
Best knee guy in town.

He's in the clinic today, right?
- Dixon's booked solid.

- He'll see me. We go back.

Hey, hey.
- Is that Dex Anthony?

Been forever, man!
How are you doing?

- You know me, man.
I'm living the dream.

Losing half my pay to alimony,
admin bullshit,

hypertension and... this trash knee.

- Gotta go easy
on yourself, man.

- Yeah.
- Hey, Wolf, you know
who this guy here?

- I have a feeling
you're gonna tell me.

- Dex Anthony.
Dude is a nursing legend.

Learned everything
from this guy.
- Yeah, including

on where to hide out
so no one can ever find you.

- Yeah, I still use that one.
Come on!

(all laughing)

- You're gonna clean this up?

- What are you still
doing here, Stretch?

Go tell Dr. Dixon
that I'm here.

- Oh, Grace! Good morning.
I heard about Mr. Jeffries.

I know that you put in
a lot of time with him.

- Comes with the territory.

- Well, I'm glad
to hear you say that

because I'm gonna be asking
a lot of you today.

- What kind of a lot?
- I had another nurse

request reassignment
for religious reasons.

- OK... What are we talking
about here? A Satanist?

- I just want to make sure
you're up for it today.

(Ding-ding!)

Now go.

- Hi.
- Hi. I'm Theresa.

So, are you
my party planner?

- Sorry?

- I've been hearing
those words a lot lately.

Oh, no. They didn't tell you.

- I mean, I could look
at the chart, or you can
tell me if you'd prefer.

- OK. Uh, well, um...

I've been fighting
breast cancer for six years...

...but it's in my bones now

and my brain.

I've had every treatment
under the sun.

There's nothing
left to do.

And the pain...

...has become unbearable.

So, uh, my fight's over,

and I accept that.

- Theresa, I'm so--
- Sorry?

Yeah, I know.

But it is what it is.

I've decided to go ahead
with assisted dying.

I don't regret any of the time
I spent fighting,

but, um... now I'm just ready
for whatever's next.

- So you're approved
for assisted dying

here at St. Mary's?
- Yes.

And today's the day.

Now I know it's last minute,
but I just want

my final day to be special.

Or at least different.

Kind of

dropped a heavy on you, huh?
- Don't worry

about me. Let's focus
on what you need.

- Well, I'd just like
a small gathering.

You know, close family.
I've made a list

of some things
that I might want.

But, hey, listen, if you're
not OK with any of this--

- No, no. I am here for you.
Whatever you need,

I will make it happen.

(Theresa chuckling)
♪

- Assisted dying... today.

- She wants me to help her throw
a little send-off.

She's lovely, but--
- It's a lot to have

sprung on you
on a Monday morning.

- I've never had
a patient go through this.

Really don't want to mess up
her last day on Earth.

- Oh, come on, you won't.
But if you need any help,

I had an assisted dying case
at St. Christopher's.

It was hard,
but just be there for her.

- What would you want to do
for your last day?

Who would you want
to have there?

- Uh, I'm not really sure.
But look, I do know

that your patient is very lucky
to have you with her today.

(sighing)
- I really hope you're right.

- Hey.
(both chuckling)

(toilet flushing)

- Morning, Diego.

I'm Keon.
Are you feeling OK there?

- Yeah.

- You haven't been eating,
have you?

- No. No.
I'm on an empty stomach

for the procedure,
like Dr. Carver told me.

It's just
a little heartburn. Ahem!

- Good. You have a laparoscopic
surgery on for today?

- Yeah. It's a twofer actually.

I'm having the lap band
around the top of my stomach

removed, and then the doc's
gonna give me a Roux-en-Y.

- Dr. Carver is the queen
of that procedure.

- It feels weird
that I'm basically gonna have

two stomachs,
but beats having

a tired, old
inflatable ring in there.

- How long have you had
the stomach band?

- Almost five years.
Yeah, there's a reason

why they don't do them
much anymore.

It's complication city.

Also, I have started
putting some weight back on.

- I don't know about that. Looks
like it worked out for you.

- I mean, between the band,
the diet and exercise,

I lost 150.
- Wow!

That must have
taken some time.

- A year and a half. You know,
once I started making changes,

I did the full life makeover.

Actually, I even found myself
a pretty hot new boyfriend.

- Nice. Is he gonna
come by today?

- No. He can't make it.

- Alright. Well, let's get
your intake started.

Are you taking any medication?

- Nope.
Clean as a whistle.

- You're sure you're OK?
- Yeah.

- Let me get your temperature.
- But it's

a cool 36.7. I took it
right before I came in, but...

(beep)

(beep)
Still 36.7.

Looking good.
- I'm...

I'm just excited
about getting this done,

that's all.
- OK.

You change and just relax

until you're ready
to head up for surgery.

Fill out these forms. I'll let
Dr. Carver know you're here.

- Cool. Thank you.

(stapling)
(sighing)

(phone ringing)

- I see. Wow! Yeah,
that... that does sound bad.

Well, I-I-I would just...
just not...

- Female, 41.
She passed out in the lineup.

Says she's not diabetic
or hypoglycemic. Just says

she felt faint.
- Well, I am Naz.

How are you doing?
- Anne.

This is Harry.
- Hi.

- Sorry about this, buddy. We'll
be out of here in a minute.

- Hey, what's your hurry?
How about we figure out what's

going on with you first?
Have you had any fainting
episodes recently?

Are you on any new kind
of medication?

- No and no. Please tell me
you have the keys.

- I have them. Don't worry.

- Honestly, I just have had
too much caffeine

and not enough food.
I'm fine.

- Will you allow us
to make sure? Thanks.

- Can you make it quick?
If I'm not

out of here in three hours,
we lose our home.

So I'm more concerned about
not having somewhere to be.

- Oh, surely, your landlord will
understand that you're

in a hospital. I can make
a call for you if you like.

- That's not gonna work
in this case. Thanks.

Please, just get me out of here
as quickly as you can.

- Hey, Ash.
- Hey, Mara!

Are you psyched
for your surgery?

- Ready to be
called up to the OR.

- Hey, where are your parents?
I thought they'd be here by now.

- I don't know. They said
they'd come first thing.

- Well, I'm sure they'll be
here any minute.

I'll keep you company
until then, OK?

- Hey, Mom. You're late.
And where is Dad?

- Your father, he's...

he's just not gonna be able
to make it today.

- What do you mean, he's not
gonna be able to make it today?

My surgery is today.
- Your dad wants you to know

he is very sorry.
- I don't... I don't understand.

I need him.
- Ashley, could we have

a moment, please?

- Mom.
- It's gonna be OK.

- Meow!

Aww. Ahem!

- Hey, man, do you know
a nurse named Dex Anthony?

He's my patient today.
- Dex is here?

I gotta go say hey.
- Dude, he's crazy

backseat driving me
in fracture clinic. Like...

"Why does she need an X-ray?
Why is this kid still waiting?"

- You should listen to him.
Dex knows what he's doing.

- I know what I'm doing.
- I used to work at the General

with Dex. Guy's as tough
as they come.

He was stabbed in the back with
a pen and didn't even notice
it was still stuck in him.

He even finished his shift
after they pulled it out.

- Did a co-worker stab him?
(Damien and Dex laughing)

- Dex! Good to see you, man.

- How have you been, Damien?
- You know.

- Wow! You know
when I started,

if I left a patient cooling
his heels for that long,

I'd be doing enemas for a week.
- Come on, man!

What hospital were you at
that required that many enemas?

- He always this confrontational
with his patients?

- Wolf is a work in progress.

- OK. Well, rule number one,

rookie: never treat
your next patient

like the patient you just had.
(cell phone buzzing)

- Dr. Dixon is free.

St. Mary's miracle.

- Lead the way.

- Hello, Theresa.

- Kate.

So you're here to confirm
my final answer?

- Not quite yet.

I just wanted to run you
through today's procedure.

So, the first medication

the doctor will give you
is a sedative.

You're going
to become very relaxed,

and you're going
to go to sleep.

- And then it's coma time.
- That's right.

The second drug will render
you comatose, and the third...

- Lights out.
- Shuts down

all muscle functions, yes.
But you won't feel that.

- It's not like I can write you
a bad Yelp review if I do.

- You'll have to consent
to the procedure

one last time before the drugs
are administered.

- And you can change your mind.
Any time.

- I know that.

And I'm not gonna
change my mind.

Now, can we get back
to the fun part?

- We're making her day special.
- Ah.

Well, let me know
if I can help.

- OK, Grace...

this is where
it gets complicated.

My mother has not been
in the same room

with my father since they signed
the divorce papers.

She still holds a grudge.

(Grace chuckling)
- I am great with mothers.

Mothers love me.
I can handle her.

- And my father doesn't approve
of the choice I made.

My sister will make it
all about herself.

And also, it's no big deal,

but there's this cellist
from this symphony

that I wanted
to play today,

but she broke her hand.

Listen to me.
What a princess!

- Hardly.
- I think it's just...

You know I've been
fighting cancer for so long,

I really want to feel
like I'm in charge of today.

- And you are. Just point me
in the right direction.
(cell phone buzzing)

- Well, uh...

my sister's just arrived.

So if you like
putting out fires,

I'm sure she's starting
one somewhere.

- Yeah, our sisters have that
in common.

(chuckling)

- Either you're gonna
talk her out of it

or I'm gonna sue you
for killing my sister.

- This is what Theresa wants.
You should respect that.

Also, you can't do that.
- I'm sorry,

you've known her for what?
Five minutes?
- I understand

that this is difficult.
- Do you really?

Oh, great!

Our dad's here. Words I never
spoke after the age of 12.

Always too busy with work to
spend time with his daughters.

But here is
eager to play loving dad

at the bitter end.
- It's not gonna be bitter.

Theresa wants her whole family
around her, together.

It's her last day,
not yours.

- I have to go talk to him,
but I can tell you

right now, I am not
letting this happen today.

for a little while
after the procedure,

- Dad wouldn't just bail on me.
- OK,

the truth is, Mara:
your father isn't here

because of something he did
last night.

- What did he do? Where is he?
- It's not important right now.
honey. Can we just...

Please, can we focus on your
surgery so it can go well and
we can have one last day.

(breathing heavily)
- Hey, hey.

Easy, Corinne, it's OK.
Let's take a seat, we're gonna

do some box breathing, OK?
- I'm sorry.

- Four seconds in.
And hold four.

And then out, OK?

- I'm sorry. This is not about
me. I can get this
under control.

- No, this isn't about control.
This is about one breath

at a time. It's OK.

Good, good.

Better?
- Yeah. Yeah.

- I've never seen you
scared before.

- Well, I'm...
I'm scared, honey.

- Hello, Mara.
Hello, Corinne.

Everything OK in here?
- Yeah.

Mara, why don't you talk
to Dr. Carver for a moment?

Everything is
gonna be fine.

- Hi.

- OK, what happened?

You guys have been waiting so
long for this; where's Andrew?

- Andrew's been a rock
through all this.

He took a leave from work.
He visits Mara every day.

He... holds me when I cry myself
to sleep at night.

And then driving home
last night,

this guy cut us off,
and Andrew...

he flipped out.
- Oh, God.

- I think he's been
bottling everything up

for so long, and suddenly
this guy in a pickup became...

...the human embodiment
of our daughter's cancer.

- What did he do, Corinne?

- He forced the guy
to the side of the road.

They exchanged words, and
Andrew knocked him on his ass.

♪
- OK.

Well, that's not great,

but surely
under the circumstances--

- Yeah, that may help him later,
but for right now?

My husband's in jail.

My daughter's life
is on the line, and I'm...

...I'm all alone in this.

- Hey, hey.

No, you're not alone.

- Thank you, Ashley. Thank you.
(cell phone buzzing)

That's the lawyer, I gotta go.

Hello?

- (Diego): So what am I at?

(scale beeping)
- "105.8 kilos."

- But I was 105 even at home.
Why do these scales

always bump you up?

- You lost 150 pounds, Diego;
don't sweat one.

- I have to, every single one;
that's how I got this far.

- You have
all your follow-ups booked?

- Yeah. Dietician,
social worker, trainer,
therapist. I've got

non-stop appointments
for the next few months.

- All I'm saying is you're
winning. Give yourself a break.

- The things people used
to say behind my back.

I mean, crappy kids

and ignorant adults
you'd expect,

but doctors and nurses even.

- That's cruel.
People should know better.

- My boyfriend doesn't even know
I was obese before we met.

I just never told him.

- It's a pretty big secret
to keep from your partner.

- So, Keon, do you have someone?

- Actually, I think
I might have messed it up

before it even started.

But we're not talking about me.

Look, I think your boyfriend
would be impressed

if you told him the truth.

The change you made takes
a lot of drive and commitment.

Pretty great qualities
for a partner to have.

- Hello, Diego!
- Hi.

- I saw your intake, everything
is looking good for today.

(sighing in relief)

You look a little sweaty there.

- Oh no.
- Doing alright?

- No, I-I am just
a nervous sweater.

I mean, I have to bring
a change of shirt

to scary movies.
- Nothing to be nervous about.

We're gonna get
that lap band out,

do a few quick renos and be
out of there before you know it.

- Now you're talking.

- OK, Dex. Look, you're lucky
you came in

for an arthroscope today
because this knee, I mean,

the cartilage in that knee
is as bad as it gets.

You need a new one.
- Oh, come on, we talked

about this before. What's it
gonna be? Three months off work?

Who's gonna take care of
my patients? What the hell
am I gonna do with myself?

- You're gonna rest, heal, go

to your physio appointments,
watch kung fu movies, whatever.

- You know, most people would
be happy to take a break.

I know I would.
- I just need

a little boost in my pain meds,
So you can write me up for that

and get me a new knee brace;
I'll be on my way.

- Nah. You're beyond that now,
OK? And, you know, if you're

not gonna stop working,
you should think about taking

a desk job.
- Why suffer with this?

The man is trying
to give you a new knee.

- I don't need a new knee.
I need a new knee brace.

I need a boost in my meds.

- I've had a cancellation.

I can fit you in
for surgery this week.

- Let me think about it, OK?

- Would you please try
to get through to your patient?

- He is not gonna listen to me.
- That is correct.

- Alright, well,
stay off it

as much as possible.

Get yourself a second opinion
if you want,

but, you know, any orthopedist
is gonna tell you

the same thing as me.

- Thanks, Doc.
- You got it.

- I am not gonna be
pinching pennies on
a disability leave, OK?

- So what are you gonna do then?
- I don't know.

I ain't gonna take time off
and I ain't gonna retire early.

But hey... Ah!

I'm still standing.

(hissing in pain)
- You know, standing shouldn't

mean chronic pain
and long-term health issues.

- Oh, just go get
the fresh brace, rookie.

- Yeah, I know.
She told me.

Montreal's great.

Uh... Um...

No, I didn't make it
there yet.

Listen, babe, my meeting's
about to start, so...

I-I love you too. Bye.

(exhaling)
- Is everything OK, Diego?

I know you're not feeling right.
- It's just...

(shouting and groaning in pain)
- Oh, OK.

OK, uh... Dr. Carver,
we need your help!

He just started retching.
Something's wrong with him.

Can you move up the procedure?
- I'll have to.

His stomach may be perforated
on the band's side.

Double that antibiotic dose
in that IV.

I'll scrub in
and get OR 12 ready.

- AH!

Ah! I'm fine.
- OK.

- I'm fine. Keon, listen to me.

I need to make sure
that she does it, OK?

The whole procedure.

- OK, get him up to OR 12!
Go, go, go, go, go!

It's not yours.
Honestly, it's her.

- You only think about you.
- I don't think you have a say

in this.
- Yes, he does.

- Everybody, please, please!
Please, everybody.

I just need quiet
for a few minutes.

- Let's go outside. Let's go.

- I always said
I was gonna stop doing this...

...but today, though,
I mean it.

- What can I do
to make you feel better?

- Maybe some tea.
♪

And a pillow for my butt.
It's starting to hurt

from sitting.

- You know what?
I have a better idea.

- Maybe this was
a mistake.

Maybe I should just
wait it out

a... few weeks,

couple of months.

What's a little more pain?

- Theresa, you know
what's best for you.

This is what you wanted.

- I wasn't scared
this morning, but they...

...they put doubt
in my mind, and now...

If they're here, I'm just...

...I'm gonna have to pretend
to be brave.

And I'm not sure I have
the strength to do that anymore.

- Well, it's your party,

and you can cry
if you want to.

(Theresa chuckling)
That's an actual party law.

- I think, um...

I need you to tell them
I wanna be alone.

They can come and see me after.

- I can do that for you

- They know I wanted them here.

But I need peace.
- You enjoy the view,

handle all that.

♪

- It's gonna be OK.

- Theresa would like me
to tell you

that she would like
to be left alone.

- You can't keep us from her.
- I'm not, but it is my job

to make sure that my patient's
wishes are respected.

She wanted you there,
but since you weren't

able to put her feelings
above your own,

she wants to be alone.

- Don't talk to me
about my feelings.

I'm about
to lose my only sister.
- Miranda, please!

- And for that, I am deeply
sorry, but these are her wishes.

There is something
you can do.

Write a note with the last
things you want to say to
her, and I'll pass it on.

Can we all at least
do that for her?

- Harry, when your mother said

you're gonna lose
your home today...

- That wasn't really the truth.

We're gonna lose
where we live,

but it's not a home.

We've been living
in our minivan.

- I see. And, um...

now it's... it's gonna
be impounded?

- Yeah. Then, we'll really
have nowhere.

- Nurse Khan, I've got
Anne's test results.

- Just wait here.

Anne, it's Naz.

Dr. Turcotte has
some results for you.

- Miss Charleston,
you're severely malnourished.

I'm surprised you haven't
been hospitalized sooner.

- I don't understand. I mean,
we've been struggling.

I've missed a few meals.

- More than a few, I think.

- I've been busy
looking for work.

- We can keep you here

a few days and give you
outpatient status.

- You'll come see us, and we'll
give you the proper nutrition

you need without
overwhelming your system.

- Refeeding suddenly
can be life threatening.

We can ease you back in.
- But where would

Harry go while I'm here?

Where will we live? I told you,
if we don't get out of here

soon, I'll lose my home.
- Hmm... Harry,

he told me something.

- He told you about the minivan.

It's OK.

I should have
told you myself.

- I'm sorry. What van?

- We're living
out of our minivan.

Things were going OK
for a while, really.

Showering at a public pool.

Harry always got
to class on time.

I had a part-time job.

Then I got laid off.

We were already struggling.
- I can't

imagine the stress you've
been under. There's no family?

- I was a regular
suburban working mom.

I gave
homeless people change

and felt bad
for 10 seconds.

Meantime, I was just
a dead husband and some bad luck

away from joining them.

- And we can set
you and Harry up

with social services
and their shelters.

- I don't want to take space
from someone who needs it more.

Where is Harry?
- He's just outside.

He's gone.

- He's looking for food.
- He's what?

- He wants to help.

He's a good boy.
- You close your eyes.

I'll find him.

- Naz. Wait! Please, just...

hear me out.
- It was a mistake, OK?

Kissing you,
then I might kissing you again.

Workplace romances,
they don't end well.

You obviously have other
priorities. You're in
a different phase!

- I get why you think that,
but let me explain, please.

- My life is chaos...

...and all I wish for
is some stability.

But I think
you're the opposite of that.

I'm sorry.

- Whoa, hey! What are you doing
out of bed?

You could pull out
your IV.

Mara, Dr. Carver

has already moved back
your surgery once, OK?

You've got to calm down.
- Every spelling bee I won,

every goal I scored in soccer,
my dad was there.

He's my good-luck charm.
I won't do this surgery

if he's not here.
- Hi there.

- Hi.
- Are you sick?

- Yes.

- Are you gonna be OK?

- I'm... I'm not sure.

- Hi. Can I help you
with something

or... are you here
with someone?

- Harry!

There you are!
We were worried about you.

- Sorry, I was
just scrounging.

My mom's sick too.

- Are things gonna get better?
- I keep wishing they will.

- Who's the boy?

- Harry. His mother's in the ER.

Hey.

Do you know anyone
with a tow truck

or know anyone who knows
anyone with a tow truck?

- Umm... I think
Caro's brother has a garage.

- Do you think
you could ask him a favour?
- Of my ex's brother? Hell no.

Alright, I'll see
what I can do.

Hey, have you heard
anything from the lawyer?

- No.

- OK, well, what if

you tried calling the guy
he hit? Did you get his number?

- The lawyer specifically
told me not to try to
contact the victim.

But there was
a company name on his truck.

Solzel Renovations, I think.
- Mara needs her dad.

Try talking to him. What's
the worse that can happen?

- Hey.

(grunting in pain)

(groaning)

- I will do the surgery, OK,

but not until next year.

- You see people fighting
for their health every day;

try taking care of your own,
instead of grinding that knee

down and popping pills.
- You would be surprised

at what I can do, OK?

Ah! Ugh! Ah!
Don't nurse me, rookie!

- Hey, Wolf,
everything OK?

Oh, Dex Anthony!
No way! Hey, man!

- Seriously, you two?

- Come on.

- Oh, yeah. I know you're
gonna talk about me, guys.

- Dex giving you a hard time?
- He needs to take some time off

and get his knee replaced, but
he won't even... It's like
he likes the pain.

- I don't actually think
it's the pain, man.

You see it
in some of the veteran nurses:

it's chronic self-sacrifice
or something.

- OK, but why not help people
and have a good life too?

- Look, the guy's divorced,
he barely sees his kids,

he hates where he lives;
the job's all he has.

- But that's just tragic.
- Yeah, well,

maybe he'll come around.

But you know how it is:
you can't nurse a nurse.

You got this.

- Hey, Diego.

Good to see you.
How are you feeling?

- Did...

did something happen to me
before the surgery?

- You were suffering
from complications

from the lap band.
But they snipped it off

and pulled it out,
so all good.

- What about the Roux-en-Y?

- That's gonna have
to wait for a bit.

There was some tissue damage
and potential infection.

Your stomach needs to heal.
That's all Dr. Carver told me.

She had to prep
for another surgery.

Your, uh... your port sides
are looking good, though.

- This is bullshit.
Carver won't do it;

I'll find someone who will.
- Diego, that's not
gonna happen.

Be patient while you heal.

And even if you put
some weight back on,

your guy's still
gonna love you.

- It's not him
I'm worried about, OK?

I hated my life before.

I hated seeing
my own reflection.

- You said you were seeing
a therapist for your
weight loss?

- Yeah, but I stopped
a while ago.

- I think you need
to talk to someone.

You want me to give them
a talk for you?

- No, don't, don't.

I will.

There's just someone else
I should talk to first.

(knocking)

- Hey. I know we're gonna talk
about it tonight at the meeting,

but I just wanted
to check in with you.

- Close the door.

What do you wanna know?
- What are you hearing

from other hospitals
about this virus?

- That we're not ready.
And we don't even

fully understand yet
what we're not ready for.

But we're gonna get
all the protocols in place

we can. We're gonna try
to order some more PPE.

- Kate, just tell me,
scale of 1 to 10,

how worried are you?

- 10.

- It's what I thought.

I'll see you tonight
at the meeting.

- Damien...

...I was gonna tell you
this soon anyway,

but circumstances
have changed.

If we're going into the kind of
crisis I think we are,

I can't think of anyone
I would rather have

looking after my nursing staff.

They respect you,
and so do I.

- You're making me charge nurse?
- Effective immediately.

- Thank you, Kate.

- You might not thank me
a month from now.

(door opening)

- Got what I came for.

Should keep me going a while.

I'll probably quit when
the wheels fall completely off.

- But why? You even said
yourself that you've been

punched, you've been stabbed,
you're underappreciated,

you're underpaid.

You do everything for everyone,
they just spit on you,

and every decision you make
feels like a mistake and--

- I'm sorry,
who are we talking about?

- Why does anyone do this job?

- Somebody's gotta.

(monitor beeping)

- Dad! You made it!

And you smell.

(Mara and Andrew chuckling)

- I am very aware
of that, sweets.

So, are you ready

for the main event?
- Yeah, I am now.

- There you are.

- That's my mom.
Hey, Mom, did the--

- The minivan got towed
to a safe spot.

Thank you so much.

- My pleasure.

These are Mara's parents:
Andrew and Corinne.

- Oh, my God!
Corinne Proust?

Is that you?
- Anne Charleston?

What's happened to you?
- Oh, it's nothing permanent.

Harry told me all about
your daughter. Is she...?

- She's going up
for surgery soon.

- So you two know each other?

- We went to
high school together.

(chuckling)
We were pretty close back then.

- I meant to keep
in touch, but--

- I... I wasn't
the greatest friend.

I just got
so busy, and...

I thought about
reaching out again, but...

things haven't been going

so well lately.
- Oh, same here.

I've got a daughter
just going into surgery,

and a husband

just coming out of jail.

- I'm Andrew. Hi.

- I'm homeless.

I haven't said
that out loud before.
- No, Mom.

- It's OK, honey.
Corinne's a friend.

- Guess we have
some catching up to do.

after the day that I've had.

- Speaking of which,

you asked me a question
earlier, and, uh,

it's not that I didn't want
to answer. I couldn't.

I lost my father

at 9,

my mother at 17.

The grandparents
are gone now.

So when I think about the people
I'd want to have with me

they're all gone.

- I'm so sorry.
I didn't know.

And we are forever bonded

- Oh, we are not bonding.
You have not seen me bond yet.

ordering us another round.

that round for somewhere else?

I like you, Naz.

A lot.
