- Hey, guys, I think we should
take a paternity test.

Part of the paternity test
is to analyze my blood

to identify the fetal DNA.

And there was none.

I'm not pregnant.
And I never was.

- I was really hoping that--
- That it was yours?

Yeah. Me too.
It gave me hope...

that maybe, if we were
raising a kid together,

y-you'd give our relationship
a shot.

- My dear Avery, loss is a long
and painful and lonely journey.

But it has this amazing ability

to also galvanize you
into the present

and make you see more
and feel more and love more.

Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!

[ Screams ]

- Get her on the monitor.
Start a line.

- Yep. On it.

- [ Groans ]

- One. Two. Three.

- [ Groans ] Damn it!

- Rosie, what's your pain level,
one to ten?

- [ Groans ] Ten!

It feels like
it's gonna explode!

- Vitals up.
- [ Groans ]

- Can you feel this?
- Mnh-mnh.

- Alright. Numbness.
Internal pressure.

Extreme pain. No cap refill.

I think this is pointing us
toward compartment syndrome.

- Compartment syndrome?
That's a bit extreme, though.

It could just be severe swelling
from a fracture.

- I need you to get me an X-ray
and prep her for a fasciotomy.

Alright, Rosie,
you might feel a couple of pokes

while I check the pressure
in your foot.

- What's compartment syndrome?

- It's a very serious
condition.

Usually the result
of a crush injury...

- [ Groans ]
- ...a severe sprain...

or a broken bone.

- It's when pressure builds up
inside a muscle group.

If the pressure isn't relieved,
then it can effectively

kill the appendage.

- I'm gonna need to make
a couple of incisions

to open up the area
and relieve the pressure.

It's a very simple surgery.
- No surgery! Hold on! Hold on!

No, no, we don't even know

if this compartment thing
is what it is, right?

- Well, we don't--
- Yes or no?

- We don't know for sure.

- [ Groans ] Wait!

Avery, I love ya, but...

Surgery? No. Not without
Big Daddy Max here.

- I understand your concerns,
but I have performed

hundred of procedures
just like this one,

and I can assure you
that a fasciotomy

is the most effective treatment
for acute compartment syndrome.

- Listen, it sounds like
you read a lot of books,

but, bro, this is my foot!

And if you've never done it,
mnh-mnh.

- Look, Ros, if you decline

medical intervention
on this ship, then we can

medicate for the pain
and wait till you get to port.

We can monitor any changes
and report anything.

It is an option.

- Well, then,
yeah, I'm with Tristy.

- Despite "Tristy," Rosie,

if this is what I think it is,
it is critical that we act now.

You could lose your foot.
- Not without a doctor here.

Morphine. Lots of it.
Port. Hospital. Final answer.

[ Groans ]

♪

- We need to be a united front.

I know I'm not some suave,
handsome male doctor.

- I don't think it's about
you being a woman.

I think it's that you haven't
done the procedure before

and that compartment syndrome

is an incredibly hard thing
to diagnose.

- The pressure was over 60

in two of the compartments
of the foot.

That is a pretty good indicator,
Tristan.

- Avery, our job is to give
the patients information.

- That is not the whole job.
Patients are not qualified

to make their own diagnosis
or treatment plan.

- You gave her all the info.

She wants to wait
for a hospital.

- It's not just informing.
It's also persuading.

It's knowing
what's best for your patient

and laying it all out.

I remember the first week that
you came to work on this ship.

You led us, a bunch of the crew,
on a hike in Puerto Del Sol,

which you clearly
didn't know, either,

because we were totally lost.

And you kept making up
these bonkers stories

about the history of the area

and something about...
alien agriculturalists

and maize.

- Yeah. The Skywalkers.
- Ah.

- Famous for their
aquifer irrigation systems.

"Ohh.

for bringing her to us."

- Rosie...

it could be a very,
very long time

until you're able to work
in the engine room again,

let alone lead a hike.

Probably a year or so
before you're fully adjusted.

and the entire crew

when I say that is
absolutely not an option.

- That was good.

- When we talk to our patients,
we tend to focus on

We have to paint
the whole picture.

- Well, it's a good thing
you did...

for Rosie does have
compartment syndrome.

If we waited any longer,
she would have lost her foot.

You were right.

- Oh. I'm sorry.
I can't hear you.

You're gonna be okay. I promise.

by eating undercooked pork.

Can you think of anywhere

you might have eaten
questionable pork?

- I don't--
I hardly ever eat off the ship.

Port Chiapas, Mexico,
a few weeks ago?

We were out late.
We stopped at a roadside spot.

We had tacos.

- Uh, Tristan.
I was with Tristan.

It's trichinosis.

- What I'm saying is
you were with him,

you had the same meal,
and I need to find a treatment

that makes the most sense
for both of you.

- Let's just leave me
out of it, please.

- Just because you're okay now

doesn't mean
you're in the clear.

I'm putting both of you on
corticosteroids and albendazole.

- I will wait.
I'm not exhibiting any signs.

Plus, albendazole
is a very nasty drug

with some rather horrible
side effects--

like bleeding gums
and hair loss.

- Of the two, I can guess
which is scarier to you.

This can't be about your hair.

- Max will be back soon,
so let's just, please,

with all possible respect,
wait for him.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

- No!

My circus, my pony,
or whatever the saying is.

Both of you could have
little buggers growing
in your brain right now!

- And if I start exhibiting
little buggers in my brain,

you'll be the first to know.

- Are these, like, what, tumors?

- No.
- No. No.

Tumors are
uncontrolled cell growth.

This is far easier to deal with.

But, Munroe,
we just got to port,

and it's my recommendation

that we get you off ship
and into a hospital

where you can be
properly monitored.

- Wait. Why-- Why can't I
just stay in my cabin?

Why do I have to go
to a hospital?

- Because if they
have made it to your brain,

you're at risk
of seizure and stroke.

After that comes
coma, meningitis,

and eventually death.
Question - have either of you

been barefoot in Mexico
in the last six weeks?

- Yeah.
- On the beach. Why?

- Are you sure
it's trichinosis?

What if it's strongyloidiasis?
- It's not strongyloidiasis.

- What's strongyloidiasis?
- Strongyloidiasis

I think we should put you both
on ivermectin. Let's do that.

- Max, may I have a word?

Bad pastor tacos

Fits the timeline
for encysted larvae.

It's T. spiralis.

- Strongyloides have
a longer life cycle.

And, either way,
ivermectin is broad spectrum.

It can be used to treat
most worm infections

regardless of species.
- Let's lie down.

- Are you going over my head?

Because ivermectin is no longer
considered the gold standard

and is proven to be less
effective against T. spiralis.

Ivermectin also can't cross
the blood brain barrier,

so if there are any parasites
on the brain tissue

or the central nervous system,
ivermectin won't work.

- Good point.
What do you recommend?

- Albendazole.
Combined with prednisone.

- Get him on his side!

I'll push diazepam.

as well as an EKG
to monitor cardiac involvement.

on 400 milligrams
