Hey, Catie.

I told you never to come here.

He loved her so much.

I just wish he
loved us that much.

You played his mom

Hello!

Please don't leave us.

I will not leave you.

Ripley, get out of there now!

Whatever happens,
I'm OK with it.

I need you.

Trust me, I am not the only one.

No! Mitch?

I love you too.

Dr. Lenox, we've
got an intake.

Josephine Tucker,
38-year-old female.

Suffered a seizure
30 minutes ago

and treated with
Ativan at the scene.

Heart rate's 110, BP's 131/77.

Respiratory rate and
efforts all over the map.

She's been in a coma
for the past 20 years.

22 years.

That's her mother,
Angela Tucker.

We're gonna take good
care of your daughter.

On my count.

One, two, three.

Call respiratory.

Let's get her hooked
up on high-flow

and order ABG analysis too.

On it.

Her urine output has been
less the last couple of days.

Darker too.

That's helpful. Thanks.

Sunset sign and
Cheyne-Stokes respirations.

What... what does that mean?

Mrs. Tucker, your
daughter's symptoms

are indicative of hydrocephalus.

A build-up of
fluid in the brain.

She's bradying.

Heart rate's in the 30s.

She's having another seizure?

Page neurosurgery?

There's no time. 1
milligram atropine IV.

Prep and drape her
right frontal scalp.

We need to place
an emergent EVD.

What is that? What's an EVD?

Dr. Lenox will drill a small
hole in Josephine's skull

and insert a tube
to drain the fluid.

It's the only way
to save her life.

Do we have your consent?

Yes. Do it.

Scalpel.

Drill.

[whirring]

Catheter.

[tense music]

Now page neurosurg.

Let's get labs and
a head CT, stat.

Is she gonna be OK, Dr. Lenox?

She's stable now, and
her breathing's improved.

We'll know more soon.

I'll wait with Mrs. Tucker
until neurosurgery gets here.

Good. Wait.

Aren't they handing out
Match Day envelopes soon?

You should go.

Oh, is that happening today?

Why are you stalling?

No, I'm not stalling.

I'm just avoiding the crowd.

Mm.

Cardiothoracic at Gaffney
is impossible to get into,

and for some insane reason

I put the University
of North Dakota

as my second choice because
it seemed realistic.

Which it is, because
it's a frozen hellscape.

Naomi, go get your envelope.

[sighs]
- Hi.

Hey.

Thank you so much for
setting this up for me.

Of course. Yeah.

Let's just find Maggie
for you, get you started.

Yeah.

Hey, how's your
friend, uh, Dr. Ripley?

They were talking about him
on the news this morning.

Yeah, no, he's gonna be OK.

Oh, good. I'm so glad.

Yeah.

Listen, if you're
still up to it,

maybe we can have
that dinner tonight.

Um, yeah.

No, that'd be great.
- OK.

Maggie. Hey, look who it is.

- Ainsley.
- Hi.

It's so good to see you again.

Thank you so much for
letting me shadow.

Absolutely.

Gonna be learning from the
best charge nurse around, so...

Does he always lay
it on this thick?

Mm, you have no idea.

Ah.

All right, let's go
find you some scrubs.

OK.

Did you bring a
comfortable pair of shoes?

Uh, no, I didn't. But, um...

Mom's here, Josie.

Is that Nurse Goodwin?

Uh, that's Ms. Goodwin, yeah.

She's our chief of

Chief?

She's the boss now?

She's my boss, certainly.

You know Ms. Goodwin?

hand is moving.

Is that normal?

Oh, my God.

No, I've never seen her do that.

Never.

some tests to confirm,

but it indicates an
increased neuroplasticity.

She might be waking up?

Yes, it's possible.

Oh, God. More flowers.

How are Sadie and Emilia?

Well, you know, I mean,

Sadie's got some adjusting

But you know, they're safe.

They're together.

I think they're gonna be
discharged this afternoon.

Wow, that's great.

Any word from the board

No.

No decision yet.

Last thing I want

I don't know about deserve.

I didn't really think I was
gonna make it out of there,

to go sideways,

voice on the walkie.

I know I haven't always made
it easy to care about me.

Caring about you, pal,

never been the,
uh... the hard part.

You know, you hear stories
about people waking up

from comas decades later,

but I've never actually
seen it happen.

Well, once she's out of CT,

maybe you'd like to say
hello to her mother.

Well, uh, I'm not so sure
Angela would want that.

What caused Josephine's coma?

What was the initial trauma?

It was a... a
terrible car accident.

As I recall, the roads were wet.

It had been pouring all morning.

Josephine's father was
driving her to school

when the car skidded and
flipped over into a ditch.

He died on impact.

Josephine's brain
was hemorrhaging

when the paramedics
brought her in.

Did she go straight to the OR?

Well, there was a
difference of opinion

amongst the doctors...

surgery or trying to
decrease the swelling with...

with medication.

What did Mrs. Tucker decide?

She couldn't decide.

She was paralyzed with grief.

I advocated strongly
for surgery,

perhaps too strongly.

They fixed the bleed,

but Josephine never
regained consciousness.

[somber music]

Angela couldn't possibly
blame you for that.

She was heartbroken
and distraught.

Well, I didn't
take it personally.

Liam. Hey, bud.

Is there any dietary
changes you've had recently?

Maybe something you ate
that didn't sit right?

Uh, I do all of the cooking,

and we don't really
eat out much.

OK.

Was anyone else in the
house feeling ill, or...

No.

No, Jessica and I are fine.

So are his older brothers.

Doris, let's get a
CBC, BMP, a tox screen,

a urine analysis,
and then call GI

for an endoscopy, please.

OK.

Hey, buddy.

I'll be back soon, all right?

Try to get some rest, OK?

- Thank you.
- Of course.

Really? Cheese curls?

Like many others, I've found

that high-sodium
snacks lift my energy

during mid-morning slumps.

You know, it's these kind
of oddities I look forward

to learning more about.

Does that mean...

I've been accepted
into Gaffney's

cardiothoracic
residency program.

North Dakota's loss
is Chicago's gain.

I couldn't have done
this without you.

You know that, right?

You're about to
become a surgeon.

Lose the humility.

[chuckles]

Student Dr. Howard.

Dr. Hayes.

I hope you've heard
the good news.

Hot off the press.

I wanted to come down in person

to congratulate you
and welcome you aboard.

I am incredibly excited
for this opportunity.

I also wanted to invite you

to an informal
gathering tonight.

The cardiothoracic department
does a weekly get-together

at Bar La Rue, end of shift.

Blow off some steam.

I'll be there.

Cheesy curls.

- Mm.
- You?

Mind if I...

You're so generous
with your snacks.

- Oh, I'll take it back.
- No.

Your very detailed
email about Naomi

factored significantly
in our deliberations.

I just thought you should know.

There you are.

I just reviewed Josephine
Tucker's head CT.

- And?
- It's not good.

[sighs]

A brain tumor?

That's what's waking her up?

The neuronal progenitor
cells within the tumor are

firing electrical impulses
into the thalamus,

so it's almost like jumper
cables for her brain.

Uh, how long before
she's fully awake?

It can take weeks, even months,

if it happens at all.

Time that we
unfortunately don't have.

What do you mean?

The neurocytoma is 6
centimeters in size,

so it's disrupting CSF flow,

which caused Josephine's
hydrocephalus

and subsequent seizures.

So we need to resect
it as soon as possible.

Is that dangerous?

Uh, yes.

The tumor is in a very
challenging place to reach.

Will she survive the surgery?

We don't know.

But without the procedure,
there is no uncertainty...

she will die.

[tense music]

So the thing that's
waking her up

is also killing her.

Oh, hey, thanks, Catie-Cat!

Hey, you got a minute?

Shoot.

I've got a 12-year-old in
Treatment 4, Liam Russell.

He came in vomiting
blood this morning.

Oh, that's not good.

Pretty unusual for a
12-year-old too, right?

His labs came back and
his tox found traces

of ipecac in his system.

Oh, man.

Well, what are you thinking?

Maybe bulimia?

I mean, maybe, but it's unlikely

a kid his age would
know about ipecac.

GI scope him yet?

Yeah.

They found several small
tears in his lower esophagus.

Well, caused by
repeated vomiting.

So it's been going
on for a while.

It appears so, yeah.

Why don't I wait till Liam
wakes up, have a little chat,

see what I can suss out?

Yeah, that'd be
great. Thank you.

You bet.

Hello.

[monitor beeping]

Sharon, please.

I understand Josephine's
surgery has been

scheduled for later today.

Well, she's in very good

He's one of the best
neurosurgeons in...

Well, you'll forgive me if I
don't take your word for it.

I'm sorry.

It's been a...

Uh, no, it's OK.

I've waited 22 years

it's happening...

Well, I'll, um...

I'll let you be

Mrs. Tucker doing?

Every time I go in there,

she's just trying
to will Josephine

to open her eyes or
squeeze her hand.

Oh, I can't imagine it...

all these years waiting
for her to wake up,

dreaming of this moment.

You know, if only the tumor
had worked a little faster.

I mean, jump-started things

before it got so bad.

You mean if it was accelerated?

Yeah.

Why?

Liam, how are you doing?

I'm Dr. Charles.

Your, uh... your mom and
dad are doing some paperwork

with Dr. Frost
right now, I think.

OK.

So, um, this has
happened before?

This, uh... this vomiting?

Wait, why?

Why do you think
it happened before?

Well, because the doc who...

who checked out your throat,

he found some lesions
on your esophagus,

which usually, you know,
happens with repeated vomiting.

I threw up a lot today.

The thing is, you're not
gonna get multiple lesions

from just a single day,
you know, of vomiting.

Like I say, it...

it just suggests a
history of it, you know?

Sometimes I have to
throw up after I eat.

I just have a weak
stomach or something.

It's not a big deal.

You don't have to tell
my parents or anything.

OK, OK.

Um, so you are in seventh grade.

How's that, uh... how's
that going for you?

You like it?

It's fine.

Yeah.

You know, my daughter really
struggled in junior high.

I did, too, come to think of it.

There's so much pressure to
look a certain way, you know.

By the way, total myth
that only girls struggle

with that kind of thing.

I'm not bulimic.

Well, then, um, why are you...

why are you making
yourself throw up, buddy?

How do you know
I'm making myself?

Because we found a
drug in your system

that's, you know, used
to induce vomiting.

I am not here to
get you in trouble.

Not my job, OK?

what's going on so I can...

so I can help you.

Similar to the neurocytoma's
progenitor cells,

the medicine that I'm
injecting, baclofen,

could theoretically
restore neurotransmission

between wakefulness
and awareness.

In other words, it's mimicking

what the tumor's
doing, only faster.

It's a long shot.

But it could allow Josephine
to wake up before surgery.

Emphasis on long shot.

There's a good chance
this won't work.

And as we've discussed,
introducing any substance

into the brain
intrathecally can increase

intracranial pressure,

so if Josephine's ICP
level rises above 40,

we need to take her to
surgery immediately.

So you're saying that
Liam is feeling the need

to harm himself because
he's attracted to boys,

and this was his
attempt at, like,

some DIY conversion therapy?

He read about a form of
aversion therapy online where

they administer nausea-inducing
inducing medications to people,

then show them
same-sex materials,

idea being to condition
them to feel sick

when those attractions come on.

OK.

Well, what do we do now?

I mean, Liam's intentionally
harming himself.

Do we put him on a
psych hold, or...

The problem is he didn't
really see it that way, right?

He thinks he's fixing himself.

Those are his words, you know?

Not... not hurting himself.

And I mean, honestly,
5150 wouldn't be

the top of my list anyway.

It'll just reinforce this
idea that he's somehow,

you know, deserving
of punishment.

I mean, in a perfect world,
we'd find him a good shrink.

But, you know...

Yeah, which we would need
the parents' consent for.

But look, I can only
imagine Liam begged you

not to say anything
to his parents,

but at this point, uh...

We've got to tell them
about the ipecac, right?

I mean, it's on the blood test.

But there's no way I'm gonna
tell them why he took it.

It would be immensely damaging,

not to mention unethical,
to out the kid,

you know, without
his permission.

OK.

Then how do we tell his parents
that their son needs help

without explaining to
them the actual problem?

Very, very carefully.

I don't understand.

Liam's a happy kid.

Why was he doing this?

You know, I haven't quite
gotten that out of him yet.

Um, which is why, with
your permission, of course,

I would really like to
keep him here another day,

maybe two, you know, to...

Sorry, I'm confused.

You want to keep him here,

but you don't know
what's wrong with him?

I mean, do you
think it's some kind

of a suicide attempt
or something?

I mean, I know he got picked on
at school for a little while,

got teased a little
bit, but he's got

a solid group of friends now.
- No, OK?

That is not it.

We are not at all suggesting
that Liam is intentionally

hurting himself in a...
- Well...

In a traditional sense.

Traditional?

What are we talking about here?

We brought him in today because
he was vomiting up blood.

You really don't know why?

I'm sorry, we, uh... we don't.

But if I had to
guess at this point,

I would say that it might have
something to do with Liam,

I don't know, somehow
not feeling safe.

Are you saying he doesn't
feel safe at home?

Not necessarily, because...
because I don't know yet.

Well, I'm honestly not sure what

you're suggesting, other than
committing my 12-year-old son...

We are not committing...

When you have no idea
what's wrong with him.

If Liam needs to
talk to someone,

he can always talk to us.

He knows that.

We'll handle this as a family.

When can we take Liam home?

Science, it... it actually,
it just doesn't support

this idea that, you know,

but it was my decision.

I knew what I was doing.

And whatever it was, it's
well in the past now.

I've moved on.

That is not what I saw today.

OK.

You're not being
honest with yourself.

Maggie, I'm not a
victim here, all right?

[tense music]

I'm just trying to be a friend.

No, no. Stop, stop.

You and I may joke
around at work,

and that's fun and all,
but it does not mean

that you know me, or her.

Drop it. It's not
your business.

Hey.

I'm supposed to tell you
that visiting hours are over.

Can't the boss bend
the rules a little?

Well, unfortunately,
ICU rules are ironclad.

I don't want her to be alone.

Oh, then I'll sit with her.

Don't you need to
be getting home?

Well, I live here anyway.

[chuckles]

OK.

If you don't mind.

It'd be my pleasure.

Josephine, my name is Sharon.

I met you long time ago.

I did blame you for years.

But I also blamed the rain,

and Josie for oversleeping

and missing the
bus that morning,

and... so that her dad had
to drive her to school,

and I blamed her dad for not
getting the tires checked

after I reminded him to.

And when the pain
became unbearable,

anger was the only thing
that kept me going.

I understand.

But sitting in that
waiting room today,

the possibility of losing
Josie as real and as terrifying

as it was 22 years ago,

I realized I am so grateful

for every moment I've
had with my daughter.

And I have you to
thank for that.

[gentle music]

I'll see you tomorrow?

I'll be here.

Uh, Angela!

Josie?

Mom's here, baby.

I'm right here.

She's squeezing my hand.

Three times.

That's right.

I love you too, Josie.

Hey, Catie.

[grunts]

Oh, hey, no way.

Gyuro?

Well, you said ramen,
so I got ramen.

And the DVD's in the
case under the soundbar,

and we're doing the singalong
version, so you know.

You made plans.
- I kind of made plans.

But we could put the
ramen in the fridge

and watch "Newsies"
when I get back.

When's that?

Not too late.

By midnight.

I'll be sleeping.

Mind if I hold on
to your key, then?

Here.

Uh, you should take the spare.

I think you should have it
anyways, for emergencies.

[scoffs]

What's going on?

You're the only
family I have left.

We should take
care of each other.

It's what Mom would have wanted.

Oh, you big softie.

Shut up.

[tense music]

What was that?

Uh, nothing, Catie.

How long has that
been happening?

It's nothing, OK?

I just had a few too many
espressos today, that's all.

Kip.

Look, it's not like I
would do anything about it.

We promised.

I know, but if this...

But what, Catie?

Look, whatever time I have left,

I'm not gonna spend it worrying.

I'm gonna have fun.

You should try it sometime.

I have fun.

Oh, tough love, sis,
but when's the last time

you had plans on a Friday night?

OK.

You want to spend your time
partying, fine, go ahead.

I want to spend
mine being useful.

Doesn't mean that you
have to be miserable.

- I'm not.
- OK, fine.

But will you just
do something tonight

that involves you
leaving your apartment,

and maybe putting on pants
that aren't scrubs or sweats?

Or maybe taking them off
for somebody special.

Or not so special, you know.

Just somebody, anybody.

[door thuds]

Thanks.

Dr. Ripley, how's your ankle?

Dr. Stano says I can
start PT next week.

Should be upright in
less than a month.

Well, I'm pleased to hear that.

The board convened today.

Turns out becoming
an overnight hero can

buy you some goodwill.

You've been reinstated.

[sighs]

Which I know you
recommended against.

Look, talk is cheap,
so let me just say

I'm gonna prove to you that
I've changed, Ms. Goodwin.

Well, after the day I've had,

I'd be remiss not
to acknowledge that

patience can be rewarded.

Rest up, Dr. Ripley.

We'll see you back in
the ED when you're ready.

What a relief.

Hey.

There he is.

Sorry, I was just

Yeah. You ready for dinner?

I'm gonna be able
