Original subtitles

A few days ago, I received a death threat.

Well, did they find out who sent it?

Not yet, but working theory is a disgruntled employee.

I thought you looked familiar.

Think maybe people will forget about this soon?

It's not every day you find out your colleague

was a teen heartthrob.

Most emergency departments don't have an OB specialist,

so I'm curious if you find your position essential.

I just thought, as a woman, you'd appreciate having someone

who specializes in women's health.

As a woman, I do appreciate it.

Are you dancing?

No, I had a cramp in my calf.

Okay, listen up, everybody. I just got confirmation.

We've got a code orange coming in in T-minus ten minutes.

Are we ready for that?

Let me tell you something. We better be.

Halloween night can be one of the busiest of the year.

Be smart about triage and resource management,

and don't get too caught up in the pageantry.

I expect the highest level of decorum.

Hey, stop right there!

It's gonna be a long night.

Almost there, bud.

Almost there, Coop.

Hang in there, Superman. Hang in there, buddy.

All right, Coop. Almost, buddy.

You're good, you're good, you're good.

Whoa.

How did he even get it in there?

I... no... mm.

- Does that taste good, bud? - Mm-hmm.

Two birds, one lollipop. Right on.

Ow, Superman!

You're so strong. You're so strong.

Wow. Excellent costume choice.

But this tracks, right?

I mean, you never just see one minion.

Facts.

Hey, Dr. Frost.

Oh, no.

Both: That was a close one.

What do you think?

I think you should watch higher-quality television.

You're kind of low-key famous.

Very low-key.

Among millennial females of a certain age.

I've never seen "Nick of Time!" Sorry.

Thank God. We'll get along.

Yeah, we will.

Oh, I'm guessing this was coordinated.

I wanted to be an astronaut.

Yes, but every hero needs a sidekick.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I'm gonna hit the head.

Well, make it quick. We need you.

Things are going well, I see.

Yeah, he's really been showing up lately.

Showing up?

The man literally dressed like a Ken doll to please you.

Sweetie, he's head over heels.

Mm.

Okay, the prenatal clinic head count

is three patients in five days.

Lenox is gonna pull the plug

if we don't get those numbers up.

Doesn't help that she keeps us on a tight leash.

All we need is to get the word out.

- Yeah, I hope you're right. - Yeah.

Jackie, weren't you supposed to

go to a Halloween party with your daughter tonight?

There was a change of plans, so I picked up a shift.

Oh, good. We got a code orange on its way.

Oh, well, I should get changed quickly, then.

No, it's gonna have to wait.

I need you on the floor.

Everybody, timeline's moved up. Battle stations now!

- You ready? - Come on!

- Let's do it. - All right.

All right.

Make sure you have enough candy.

Make sure you have enough.

Thank you.

All: Trick or treat!

- Happy Halloween! - Happy Halloween, guys!

Happy Halloween. There you go.

Yeah.

Yeah, I understand,

but we have to work with

the resources that we have available.

Well, yeah, that's a good point.

But let's keep that in mind when we have to,

uh, tackle that fourth quarter budget.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, you know,

for now, why don't we just stay the course?

Um...

let's pick this up in the morning.

O-Okay.

Who's there?

I've already called the police!

Ah!

That stings!

Kyle!

Oh, Kyle! Oh, no, I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

Come on, let's go get your mother.

Come on.

All right, Kyle, we're gonna hold this over your eyes.

Can you do that for me? - Yeah.

Great. He'll be fine.

We irrigated his eyes, no sign of corneal damage.

Just need to manage the swelling now.

Thank you, Dr. Frost.

Of course.

Helen, I am so sorry about this.

Is there anything I could do to make it up to both of you?

Can I have all your peanut butter cups?

Mom, don't guilt-trip Ms. Goodwin.

It was an accident.

No worries, Kyle.

It's a deal.

But seriously, Sharon,

someone was in your house?

That's terrifying. - Well, I think it was.

But honestly, I've been a little keyed up lately.

CPD is doing a full sweep of the house, so.

Hopefully it's nothing. - Yeah.

I saw your flyer at the community center

about prenatal screenings.

Yes. Yes, that's right.

Um, unfortunately, though,

our clinic hours are over for the day.

When... when are they?

Weekdays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Um, I work then. Just about everybody does.

Yeah, I... can you come in on one of your days off?

Um, yeah, it's been a while since I've had one of those.

Is... is there any way that you can see me now?

I mean, something just... it doesn't feel right.

Yeah, you know, let me... let me see what I can do.

Okay, thank you.

So he escaped from the psych ward?

Yep. Name's Ted Kachler.

He's got a pretty nasty gash on his arm

after security tackled him at the front entrance.

We're waiting on X-rays before sending him back up.

And why did Dr. Cuevas hold him in the first place?

Well, the police brought him in for erratic behavior

during a domestic dispute.

He was pretty unhinged and paranoid during intake.

Thank you.

This is all a huge misunderstanding.

Ted, how are you doing? I'm Dr. Charles.

Um, Jackie has been telling me that, uh,

you were involved in an incident at home?

Yeah, which Becca has totally blown out of proportion

for her advantage. - Okay.

So Becca is your... your partner?

Your... your wife?

Not for long.

Um, we're in the middle of a nasty divorce,

and she is... she's trying to sue me

for full custody of our daughter, Ella.

Oh, well, I'm really sorry to hear that.

I mean, divorce...

Divorce, uh, sucks.

Yeah, uh... um, the thing is,

the custody hearing is tomorrow morning,

and I'm... I'm stuck in here. - Uh-huh.

So that's why you were trying to get out of the hospital?

I can't lose my little girl, doc.

I hear you. Really, I do.

Um, the thing is Dr. Cuevas probably wouldn't have

put you on a psych hold without a pretty good reason.

So if you don't mind, can you just tell me a little bit more

about what happened?

Look, I...

I lost my temper, okay?

I... I was... I was tired, I was stressed.

I don't know.

Um, my... my... my brain, it just suddenly glitched.

Okay, so when you say that your brain suddenly glitched,

can you get a little more specific about that?

I mean, was it... did you see something or hear something

out of the ordinary, or...

No, I...

I just lost control, okay?

But I feel totally fine now.

But I'm thinking that it's actually probably

in all of our best interests to drill down and figure out

what's going on with this glitch.

I don't... I don't know what to say, you know?

I... I freaked out,

and now I find myself suddenly in a psych ward.

- Right. - Which I do not belong in.

Okay.

Look, I want you to try and relax a little bit,

'cause we gotta wait for your X-ray anyway.

But, um, we are gonna get to the bottom of this, okay?

And I want you to trust me on that.

- Okay. - Good. Thank you.

Um, we'll check back in a bit.

I did Ted's intake.

He's got IBS, asthma, hypertension,

but absolutely no history of mental illness.

So you're thinking that

this is just a legal tactic on the part of the wife?

It's worth considering, yeah.

If his wife uses this psych hold against him in court,

he might not ever see his kid again.

Yeah, but I mean,

clearly there's something going on here, right?

I mean, Ted himself brought up this glitch.

Sometimes people crack under pressure.

Doesn't make them mentally ill. - Very true.

But, uh, you know what?

I just need a better understanding

of what's going on here

before I release him in good conscience.

So you know, let's, um, let's figure it out.

We already talked about this.

Tonight's gonna be a madhouse.

I don't have the space for the prenatal lab after hours.

Dr. Lenox, she took three buses across town to be here.

Does she have an acute medical need?

- No, but... - Then please send her home.

I'm sorry.

All I'm asking for

are a few prenatal labs and an ultrasound.

How long do you need, Dr. Asher?

Hour, tops.

Dr. Lenox, given the extremes

the woman went through to get here,

perhaps we can make an exception.

- Knock yourself out. - Thank you, both of you.

You know, bending isn't always breaking.

Bending means more expectation to bend.

Excuse me. Can someone please help me?

There's something really wrong with him.

Dr. Frost, we need help here.

Hey. Let me take a look.

It's okay, it's okay. Let's take a little look.

Baby's slightly cyanotic.

Can we get a cot crib, please?

- You're going to Trauma 1. - All right.

Just follow me and tell me what happened, okay?

I don't know. He just started wheezing.

Okay, was he exposed to cigarette smoke?

- No, I don't smoke or vape. - Okay.

Was he sleeping near a vent?

No. He was fine and then he wasn't.

Okay. Let's set him down.

Hey, buddy. You're okay, you're okay.

All right.

Let's see what we got.

Okay, crackles bilaterally.

Let's get a CBC, BNP, blood culture, X-ray,

and then swabs for COVID, influenza, and RSV, all right?

- Copy. - Thank you.

What's his name? - Nate.

Hey, Nate. How are you doing? Are you his mother?

Uh, no, I'm the babysitter, Whitney.

Okay, well, Whitney, I'm gonna want you

to call his mother for me, okay?

I already did. She's on her way.

Will he be okay?

I'm gonna take very good care of him, I promise.

Good evening. I'm Dr. Ripley.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Mary Katherine, but people call me MK for short.

So the, uh, triage nurse says that you've been

experiencing some abdominal pain.

That's right.

Any chance you just, uh,

had too much to drink at a Halloween party, sister?

I haven't had a drink in 20 years.

And the only party I'm attending

is my weekly sewing circle.

At the rectory.

I... I am so sorry, sister.

Oh, don't be. It's... it's Halloween night.

I get it.

So how long have you been experiencing pain?

Off and on for about a month.

Any, uh... any dietary changes lately?

Halloween candy is my weakness.

Well, sugar can impact health,

but, uh, it's unlikely to cause an acute episode.

Uh, would you mind sitting back for me?

Of course.

- May I? - Yeah.

I think we're looking at diverticulitis.

It's an inflammation of the large intestine.

We usually treat it with antibiotics.

Mm.

So how about we start with a CT scan to get a closer look,

and uh, we'll take it from there?

- Sounds good. - Okay.

Uh, his name is Nate Sullivan.

He's three months old. Uh, my babysitter...

- Lynne. - Whitney... oh, Rip.

Uh, Nate was brought in with a fever?

Oh, I'm... I'm sorry to hear that.

He's in Trauma 1 with Dr. Frost.

Okay.

I'll walk over with you so I can see him.

- Okay. - You've... you've been drinking?

Yeah, I had a few at a bar with some friends.

Wait, you... you took Nate to a bar?

No, I got him a babysitter.

That's... that's who brought him in.

Has he been sick?

No, he...

he has a little cough.

So you left a sick baby to go get hammered?

Do... I'm... I'm not hammered.

I went out for a little Halloween celebration.

Unbelievable.

Screw you and your judgment, Saint Rip.

I don't need this.

I just got Nate's X-rays back.

It looks like a mild case of pneumonia,

but I think a course of IV antibiotics

will clear it right up.

Thank you.

So... sorry, he's gonna be okay?

I'd like to keep him overnight in the PICU

for observation, but I expect him to be just fine.

I already requested the transfer.

They'll be down in ten minutes.

Thank you so much.

You got it.

What? You got something to say?

Honestly, I'm not sure what to say.

Yeah?

Well, if you're so damn worried,

why don't you come over and help me out once in a while?

I'm all alone with him.

When he doesn't sleep, I don't sleep,

so I'm going crazy.

Look at me.

Look at Mommy, look at Mommy.

Shh, shh. Hey, hey. Please just sit for Mommy.

I just need you to sit.

I just need you to sit for Mommy.

Look what I found, Leo.

- Look what I found. - Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. It's okay.

Just play your game, okay?

Okay.

Sorry, it's, um... it's been a long day for him.

No, no, it's...

it's totally fine. I should have asked first.

The day I... I found out I was pregnant with Leo,

I just about emptied the Amazon warehouse

of every baby toy and onesie they had in stock.

I just couldn't wait.

Now you get to spoil this one.

Yeah.

I didn't, um...

I didn't take proper care of myself.

And I've always wondered if...

if that's why Leo has the issue that he has.

No, Olivia. Don't put that on yourself.

This wasn't your fault.

I swore I... I...

if I ever got pregnant, I'd do better.

I mean, that's why I'm here.

I'm on my own and got rent to pay,

and times are hard to come by.

And I'm just... I'm terrified that...

I'm terrified that the, um...

I just want this baby to get proper care.

Okay. It's okay.

Dr. Charles.

What was so important that I had to leave my brother

and six-year-old nephew in the middle of trick-or-treating?

I don't understand.

Nurse Nelson called and said that you

needed an immediate consult for Ted Kachler.

Oh, right, right.

That's because, um, I do have some significant questions

about his intake and I could be on the verge

of... of releasing him.

And I just wanted to, you know, consult with you first.

But you're my boss.

In what world do you need me to sign off?

Oh, I don't know, professional courtesy.

You know, it's your patient.

I appreciate that,

but maybe next time, just give me a call.

Noted.

I think we might have crossed our wires.

But look, while I have you here,

do you mind going into a little more detail

about what you observed on intake

that led you to hold him?

Yeah, he was erratic and violent

when the cops brought him in, and he was screaming threats

at his wife, who was clearly terrified.

Got it, got it.

You do whatever you feel is right,

but I would fix his arm and send him back upstairs.

Okay.

Well, thank you, Nellie, and I'm sorry about the mix-up.

No problem.

Are you kidding me? What were you thinking?

I just thought you could talk to her.

That's not the way it works, Jackie.

You can't just summon another doctor

to the hospital in my name without my permission.

I really have to explain that to you?

I just can't stop thinking about

a little girl losing her dad. - Okay.

Well, you heard Dr. Cuevas.

Whatever this glitch is, it ain't good.

So for now, anyway, he's exactly where he needs to be.

Dr. Ripley, this is my sister, Connie.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you so much for taking such good care of MK.

She needs to slow down.

Please stop, Con.

Are you ready to go up to radiology for a CT?

Are you okay? You seem sad.

I'm... I'm great.

Why?

You just lied to a nun, Dr. Ripley.

My big sis has a sixth sense about human emotion.

You should just confess now.

Uh, can I confess after the CT?

Only priests take confession.

But you and I will definitely have a chat.

Deal.

Okay, Olivia, I have great news.

Your red count is within a healthy range,

your liver and kidney function is normal,

and you are negative for Rh protein.

That's such a relief. Thank you.

Okay, let's just get a quick look at baby

and you should be good to go.

- Sounds good, Dr. Asher. - Okay.

Here we go.

Do you not know the sex of your baby?

No, uh, I didn't do it with Leo.

Kind of old-school.

That works for me.

Is there something wrong?

No. No, nothing's wrong.

But if you're okay with it, Olivia,

I would like to run a few more tests.

Something is wrong.

I just wanna be extra thorough

since you came all this way.

Okay. Um, do whatever you need to do.

Okay.

I'll put those work orders in and check back shortly.

Mags, Olivia's baby's heart rate's low.

- How low? - 125.

That's the low side of normal.

Bradycardia in a fetus can have a number of explanations.

Yeah, but in rare instances it can also indicate

a fetal heart block, so I wanna get

an SSA antibody test just to rule it out.

Well, we told Lenox that it was gonna be an hour,

and it's been two hours.

If she catches wind of Olivia even being here...

I get it.

Okay.

So you were bitten by a bat?

No, dude.

I told the nurse I had a close encounter with a few bats

and my mom insisted I get a rabies vaccine.

Okay, and where did you encounter these bats?

Kevin's house.

Educate me.

It's a haunted house in Uptown.

Back in the early '90s, Kevin was my age.

Liked to sass the 'rents,

so eventually they chained his mouthy ass up in the basement

and let him starve to death.

Still haven't found his body.

Okay. Looks like you did get bit.

I didn't feel a thing.

Yeah, well, bat teeth are tiny,

so the bites can sometimes go undetected.

But we'll vaccinate you for rabies

just to be safe, all right?

Am I gonna die?

Well, it's almost 100% fatal if you start showing symptoms,

but I got you.

It's okay.

Dude, my friends are gonna be shook.

Excuse me?

My bros, over there.

Right. Okay.

Well, looks like your bros are gonna need a jab, too, then.

Hey, uh, can I get your eyes on something?

Yeah, sure.

It's my patient in T3.

- The nun? - Yeah.

Are my eyes playing tricks on me,

or is that what I think it is?

It's a baby, right?

Yeah, at least...

it was.

I've never been pregnant.

Well, even though you may not have realized it at the time,

this image shows us that you were

until sometime in the second trimester.

Clearly, the fetus did not survive.

But that's a miscarriage.

You're telling me there's a baby in me right now?

Normally, the body would expel the fetus,

but in very rare cases it can be retained by the uterus

and the body launches an immune response that calcifies it.

It's called a lithopedion. Um, a stone baby.

But why now?

Uh, after all these years of having no idea it was there?

Well, your body's entered a premenopausal phase,

so the hormone changes likely caused your uterus

to contract, which resulted in your abdominal pain.

And sometimes this condition

can remain asymptomatic for a lifetime.

So what happens now?

We remove it surgically.

Sooner the better.

I'd like to get you into surgery tonight.

But, um, we can...

we can wait a day or two if you need some time.

Tonight is fine.

I'm ready.

CPD called.

My house was completely cleared.

- Total sweep? - Y-yeah.

I mean, they didn't find any evidence of forced entry

or that anyone had been there.

Okay. So what now?

I mean, better not be trying

to tell you you imagined the whole thing.

Well, who knows? But I know how I felt, Daniel.

Someone was in my house. - Okay.

Well, that's easy.

You're gonna sleep somewhere else,

you know, until we figure out what's going on.

Well, they offered a patrol car out front.

I said yes. - That ain't nothing.

I mean, will it make you feel better?

At least it might help me sleep.

Where is the real injury?

The cut over my right eye.

The skin tore pretty deeply.

You are definitely gonna need stitches.

I got clocked in the face by a customer.

Customer?

Yeah.

I'm a performer at the Fun Farm Halloween Night Show.

It sounds like you're too good at your job.

Who goes to a Halloween show

if they don't want a few jump scares?

It's what he paid for.

I'd take it as a compliment.

Really?

Well, yeah, it means you gave an authentic performance.

Mm.

- Thank you. - A small pinch here.

Next.

All right. You okay?

Hey, thank you for your patience.

Can you lift your sleeve up over your shoulder, please?

I need you to calm down, all right?

Take a seat for me now!

Oh!

Relax!

He's biting me!

God!

Relax!

What's up with your friend, man?

- We don't know him. - You don't?

He escaped the psych unit a few hours ago.

He must have slipped out during that other guy's attempt.

Come on, Kevin.

Whoa, it's Kevin.

Kevin's alive! - Whoa!

Kev... what is going on tonight?

Mm-mm.

God! Ouch!

Wait, so you're saying

that there's something wrong with my baby's heart?

Your test shows what I believe to be

an atrioventricular block.

What does that mean?

It means that your body

has developed a rare set of antibodies

and has disrupted your baby's cardiac development.

Oh, my God.

- Just listen. - Okay.

We've already given you a course of steroids

to help root out the dangerous antigens

and now have started an IV drip

to help replace them with the healthy ones.

So my baby's gonna be okay?

She's gonna be just fine.

Wait, she?

Sounds like someone let the cat out of the bag.

I cannot believe I just did that.

- Oh, my gosh. No, Olivia! - No worries.

I'm so... I've never... oh, my God.

I'm glad that you told me.

Thank you. Thank you for helping me.

No, thank yourself.

Dr. Asher only caught this

because you decided to come in early.

It could have been a lot worse had you decided to wait longer.

Leo, you're gonna have...

wait, where did... where did Leo go?

Wait, where did he go?

Okay, no worries.

I'll go track him down. - Okay.

Leo.

Leo.

- Stop trying to hurt me. - Leo, are you okay, honey?

- I will not let you hurt me! - No, Ted, we're trying to...

- Stop it! - We just...

It's okay, Leo.

They're just trying to help him.

Leo, it's okay.

They're just trying to help him.

It's okay, Leo.

It's okay, Leo.

Okay, Leo...

What's going on here?

Leo's autistic, and he wandered out here

and just melted down,

and he screams any time I get near him.

Okay.

Hey, is she mad that Olivia's still here?

No, she ju...

I don't know what she is right now.

All those people are scary, huh?

And it's really loud in here.

You're safe, Leo.

We can stay here as long as you want, Leo.

What, um, what happened?

After his X-ray cleared him,

a guard came to take him back to psych

and he had a full-blown asthma attack.

His oxygen saturation was down to 90

and he didn't have his inhaler,

so we treated the asthma attack.

And a few minutes later, he just...

he completely freaked out.

What... what meds did he get?

An albuterol nebulizer and fluticasone.

- Fluticasone. - Mm-hmm.

The, um... the nasal spray.

Yeah, you were right.

You've been right this whole time.

He, um...

He is mentally ill.

You know what?

I am not so sure about that.

Excuse me, MK.

I'm so sorry to interrupt,

but we need to get you into surgery.

Please pray with me.

Okay.

Now, tell me what's been bothering you.

Me? - Mm-hmm.

It shouldn't be about me. It should be about you.

I can sense sadness.

That's my gift.

Please.

My, uh...

my best friend's dying of cancer.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Dr. Ripley.

And tonight his little boy was brought in with pneumonia.

Actually, a babysitter brought him in because his mother,

my friend's girlfriend, Lynne, ignored his symptoms

and decided to party the night away instead.

I'm not sad.

I'm angry.

Mm.

Sometimes, they're the same thing.

I met my baby's father

when I was 19.

He was a few years older than me

and he had the most piercing blue eyes.

They melted my heart.

We fell head over heels in love.

And like magic,

I could suddenly picture our entire lives together.

Marriage, travel, kids,

everything.

What happened?

He fell in love with someone else.

And that whole life I saw...

vanished.

I'm so sorry, MK.

I think Lynne pictures a life

which is now slowly vanishing before her eyes,

which might be the most painful goodbye of all.

Be patient with her, Dr. Ripley.

I will.

And I hope that beautiful baby boy of hers

feels better soon.

He'll be fine, MK.

I like when you call me that.

Believe me, Sister gets old.

What did you say her name was?

Dr. Lenox.

She knew exactly what to do when Leo melted down.

No one ever does.

She clearly has a kind soul.

Yes, she does.

Okay, Olivia.

So you are just about done with your infusion,

and your baby's heart rate is strong.

So I'll need you to follow up here every few weeks,

but I expect that your baby will be just fine.

I'm just so glad you're doing this clinic.

It's not usually an option.

We're really glad you came, Olivia.

Yeah. And spread the word.

I'm feeling much better.

Uh...

but I don't know why this keeps happening to me.

Uh, I don't know. Maybe... maybe my ex is right.

Maybe I am crazy.

Mm, I'm not so sure about that.

Do you mind me asking,

did you happen to have an asthma attack

when you were arguing with your wife?

Uh, I did, actually, yeah.

And do you always combine fluticasone spray

with your inhaler to manage your attacks?

Actually, no. Rarely.

But, uh, she... she really got me worked up this time.

It was... it was a doozy.

Okay.

Can you remember roughly how many pumps you used per side?

Oh, I don't know.

Five?

I think that what we're talking about here, Ted,

is something very simply known as a medication overdose.

You know, fluticasone, it's a corticosteroid,

which is a class of steroid that has absolutely been known

to induce psychosis in people

with, you know, a certain vulnerability.

W-wait. I'm... so I'm not crazy?

That's what was causing your glitch.

And we think that the reason maybe it happened again today

is even if we gave you the right dose,

right, that that overload is still in your system

and it just triggered another episode.

If it's okay with you, I'd like to keep you till the morning

just to make absolutely sure that all this stuff

is out of your system.

But you will still have plenty of time

- to make the custody hearing. - Oh.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. Uh...

You were pretty amazing with Leo tonight.

Yeah, her mom wanted us to thank you for her.

Well... and...

Happy Halloween.

Dr. Lenox is a mystery.

- Even possibly to herself. - Mm-hmm.

Hey, great job with the clinic patient.

I heard it was very lucky that she came in.

Yes, an atrioventricular block.

I am very glad that we caught it.

But overall, your prenatal clinic

has not been particularly well-attended.

What are you saying?

That maybe we should pivot.

I spoke to Violet Mikami last week, from Firehouse 51.

She delivered a baby

mere minutes after the mother's death,

a death that could have been avoided

by a standard prenatal examination.

It made me think of Elise Thompson.

So I'm proposing a mobile unit

that could visit communities most at risk,

'cause listen, if the patients can't get to us,

we gotta go to them.

That would be incredible.

We need to do better by the pregnant women that need us.

And we will.

Good. Let's talk details tomorrow.

Oh.

I know I overstepped today.

Yeah, you did.

I'm sorry.

It will not happen again.

Mm.

I'm just still trying to figure out what you were thinking.

Totally get on the face of it, like,

why you wouldn't want Ted to be misdiagnosed.

I mean, I understand... - I've been there.

As you well know.

And, um, here's the thing about a psych ward.

It's... it's scary.

It's heavy and it sticks with you.

Every Halloween, I...

I take my daughter to this big bash

with all the neighborhood kids

and I was supposed to go with her tonight,

but Carl changed his mind at the last minute.

Yeah, he says he's worried about me.

Um...

but the truth is, he doesn't want me to be alone with her.

There's always that fear that,

you know, that I'm gonna go to that place again.

Do you, uh... do you mind me asking, did you...

did you ever think maybe that I had misdiagnosed you?

No.

No, there was something wrong with me.

And I'm... I'm grateful for what you did.

Otherwise, I don't know if I would be here today.

Mm.

That's great.

Nate's breathing is improving.

That means the antibiotics are working well.

When can I take him home?

I'd like to keep him overnight for observation

just to make sure his oxygen levels remain normal.

- Can I stay with him? - Sure, yeah, yeah.

We'll set up a cot for you so you're comfortable.

Thank you.

Need some company?

That depends.

Will that involve judgment and thinly veiled condescension?

I'll leave you to it.

Thank you for everything, Dr. Frost.

Of course. Yeah, yeah.

I'm sorry.

For how I treated you and...

For what you're going through.

And you were right.

I haven't been there like I should.

But that changes now.

Whatever you need, I'm game.

Mitchell Ripley, taking the high road?

Taking my head out of my ass, actually.

- Oh. - Yeah.

Does Sully know I'm here?

No.

And he won't, not from me.

Helen, I come bearing peanut butter cups, as promised.

Who says guilt isn't useful?

Not me.

How's Kyle?

Milking the photos of his red eyes

for full sympathetic impact on Instagram.

Good for him.

Well, if there's anything I can do.

You know, actually, there is.

I just noticed that you have a doorbell camera.

Can I see the footage?

Of course you can. I'll send you a file.

- Great, thank you. - Yeah.

- Good night. - Good night.
