2 The initial scans

show a five-centimetre left sphenoid meningioma

compressing on your optic chiasm,

which would explain your vision loss.

Meaning...

A tumour that grows in the outer three membranes of the brain.

I have a brain tumour?

I'm afraid so.

Cancer?

90% of meningiomas are benign,

so there's no reason to think that it's malignant.

But how could I have something that big

in my head and not know?

They're slow growing.

They can go undetected for years

before they start causing symptoms.

We're still waiting on the detailed scans

to get a complete picture of what's going on.

So, what now?

There's a neurosurgeon

over at Halifax General who can do the surgery

in the next few days, if you agree to it.

That soon?

Well, if they can alleviate the pressure

on your optic nerves quickly,

there's a good chance they can fully restore your vision.

And what if I don't want to have surgery?

Then, I'm afraid your vision loss will be permanent.

?

? Is this as good as it's gonna get? ?

? I've given all I can give ?

? But the rivers still get wider, wider ?

? We've been here all along ?

? Through the valleys, we carry on ?

? The journey takes us higher, higher ?

? This could be your home, if we try to build it ?

? This could be your life that's one in a million ?

? All the hard times, yeah, they were worth it ?

? Time and time and time again ?

? Time and time and time again ?

Jacob: So, they can remove it?

Yeah, they should be able to.

And then, she'll be okay?

If they can completely resect the tumour, then...

it shouldn't go back.

I still can't believe none of us noticed anything.

Can we go see her?

She could use the emotional support. I just-

I wouldn't stay too long. We don't want to overwhelm her.

Okay.

So, the surgeon they found,

he knows what he's doing?

He comes highly recommended.

Because we need to make sure Edna's gonna be okay.

I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that happens.

Thank you, Maggie.

Of course.

?

Here you go.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming.

I can't believe it.

Edna seemed perfectly fine the last time I saw her.

I know.

I can't imagine what Frank must be going through right now.

Well, at least Maggie's there.

How is she holding up?

It's hard to tell. She's in doctor mode.

Don't let her fool you.

Edna's always been like a second mother to her,

so I know she's got to be struggling.

Yeah, that's why I want to get over to the hospital

to be with her.

Go. Yeah. I'll take care of things.

Are you sure?

Look, I can wait for Lola and Jacob to get here.

No, I'll be fine. Just go. Be with Maggie.

Thanks, Syd.

You really can't... see us at all?

I can... make out some shapes, but that's about it.

I'm here for you, Auntie, whatever you need.

Oh, and Frank's garden's gonna need tending, too.

That's not important right now.

(sighing) I can't have it dying

just because you're in here with me.

I know how much it means to you.

Don't worry. We've got it handled.

And what about your research?

And Lola's internship?

We're trading off with Cal and Sidney at the store.

So, you don't have to worry about it.

The only thing you need to focus on right now is getting better.

We should let you get some rest.

It's gonna be okay, Edna.

I'm a little tired.

Why don't you go find Sully and get yourself something to eat?

I'm good.

There's no point sitting here watching me sleep.

Awas. Go on.

Okay, but I won't be long.

I love you, Frank.

I love you, too.

?

Cooper: Forget about that one.

Rafe, got a second?

Sure, Chief.

I heard Edna's in the hospital.

I wanted to say I'm sorry. I know she's a close friend.

Yeah, she and Frank are like family.

You let me know if there's anything I can do, okay?

Yeah, I will.

Yeah.

Actually, Chief, um...

if you got a second, I was hoping to get some advice.

Sure. What about?

Relationships.

Not sure if I'm the guy to be giving advice about that,

but, uh, I'll try.

Sydney and I were talking the other day,

and the topic of marriage came up.

She wants you to propose.

Actually, the opposite.

She told me she doesn't believe in marriage.

Oh.

Yeah, I was surprised too.

And you're not on board with that?

I mean, I've always pictured myself fairly traditional -

white picket fence, two kids.

I really want to get married someday.

And you're worried, if you tell her that,

she's not gonna understand how you feel.

Look, I want her to be happy.

But I also feel like I should be happy, too.

It's better to rip the Band-Aid off now

and be really honest with each other,

than wake up in a few years and realize you're both unhappy.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Good luck, man.

(exhaling sharply)

- Hey. - Hey.

How's Edna doing?

She's scared.

Why don't you go home, take a little time for yourself?

- I'll stay with Frank a minute. - No, I can't.

I have to talk with Dr. Rabney

and make sure everything gets organized for Edna's surgery.

- It can wait. - No, it can't.

There's a lot that needs to get done.

I need to go through all her tests again and-

All right, just come sit for a minute.

Take a seat.

Here.

- Thank you. - Drink.

I know you want to help out,

but you're not going to be any good to anyone

if you burn yourself out.

Maggie, Edna's detail scans are back.

I think you're going to gonna wanna have a look.

You know...

I can still remember...

how it felt the first time I saw Edna.

I went back to that diner

every day for a week until I got the nerve to say hello.

And I don't think that we've spent a day apart since then.

Edna's not gonna let some tumour get the best of her. Nope.

I don't know... what I would do without her.

Nothing's gonna happen, Frank. Maggie will make sure of that.

I'm gonna...

head back up, so that I'm there for her when she wakes up.

Yeah, sure.

?

You really should have a look at the MRI.

Maggie: Oh, no.

I can't believe I didn't see that before.

What's wrong?

The margins on the initial CT weren't clear.

Edna's tumour is compressing

and narrowing her carotid artery.

I'm sorry, Maggie.

So, what does that mean?

Surgery's going to be a lot more complicated

than we first thought.

185 Cal: You sure you want to do this?

It'll be easier on Edna coming for me.

Well, I'll be right here, if you need me.

?

Frank: Magpie.

How are you feeling?

Just trying to wrap my head around the fact

that I have a brain tumour.

Maggie: So, the scans came back.

What's up?

I'm afraid I have some more bad news.

What is that?

It turns out that the tumour is attached to the main artery

that supplies blood to the left side of your brain.

What are you saying, Maggie?

I'm not trying to scare you,

but you need to be aware of the risks.

There is a chance

that you could... suffer a-

a life-altering stroke during the procedure.

Life-altering how?

Worst case,

you could lose your ability to think and communicate.

Then, I wouldn't be me anymore.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

- Maggie... - I-I can't.

Jacob: It's a medium action rod with an 8-bolt bearing reel.

It casts like a bullet and it's pretty strong, too.

Let me know once you've decided if it's what you want.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Is this, uh- is this where we need to register?

Yep.

Mr. and Mrs. Hardy checking in.

Sounds like you're talking about your mother when you say that.

Mr. Hardy: You'll get used to it.

I wanted to take a hyphenate,

but my husband said it wasn't a good idea.

Well, that's because I don't think

'Hardy-Harr' would be the best name for our kids, do you?

- (both laughing) - Mrs. Hardy: I guess not.

I see you two booked the honeymoon cabin.

How about I walk you over?

Thank you.

I'm gonna stop by the garden on the way back,

see if it needs any watering.

Okay.

All right, if you'll follow me...

(door closing)

Those two were a bit much.

What? I thought they were cute.

Did you see the way she was hanging off of him?

Like he was the centre of her whole universe?

Well, they did just get married.

But she didn't have to take his last name.

He could have taken hers.

I guess.

Like, I just don't think

it's right for a man to expect you to change who you are.

Are you okay?

Uh, yeah, I...

Yeah, I guess I just have a lot on my mind right now.

Uh, listen, I still need to figure out

the colour scheme for the restaurant.

Is it okay if I, uh, head back to the lodge?

Yeah, of course.

(door closing)

Hey. Talk to me.

I'm right here, all right?

You don't have to hide your feelings from me.

I don't have time for feelings, Cal.

I'm worried about you, Maggie.

Well, don't be.

This is what I'm trained for, remember?

Yes. But Enda's not just any patient.

I know that.

But I'm the only neurosurgeon here.

I have to be there for her.

- (phone vibrating) - Maggie, wait!

(phone vibrating)

(sighing)

Dad, everything okay?

Just wanted to check in,

let you know your mother and I are heading back home.

Already?

Thought we'd spend a little time with Sedona and the grandkids.

Are you sure everything's okay?

I'm fine. Just a little tired.

So, how are you and Maggie doing?

Uh...

Actually, we moved in together.

That's wonderful news, Cal.

I'm happy for you.

But to be honest, I... I'm a little worried about her.

Why's that?

I guess... I guess I'm starting to think

I'm holding her back from her career.

Did Maggie tell you that?

- No. - Well,

don't you think you should talk to her about it?

Still trying to figure out a way to do that.

Nothing good comes from sitting on how you feel, Cal,

you know that.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

So, talk to her.

I will. Thanks, Dad.

- Okay, son. - All right, travel safe.

- Bye. - Bye.

They'll get the tumour out, you'll get your sight back,

and this will be all behind us.

What if I wake up and I don't know who I am?

Or worse, I wake up and I don't remember who you are?

Well, I'll just keep reminding you until you do.

I'm serious.

So, am I, Edna.

I love you no matter what.

I'm here for you, and we'll get through this together.

But what sort of a life would that be for you?

Let's just stay focused on the positive.

One foot in front of the other.

Okay?

Here, try these.

Mm.

You're killing me.

- Huh? - Oh, that's good.

You have to keep that on the menu.

Everyone loves a warm beignet.

Ah, yes, good. Thanks for helping me.

I promise, once the restaurant's all up and running,

I will take you out on a real date.

No, I love hanging out with you here.

- Yeah? - It's comfortable.

I like hanging out with you too.

It's very different than how things were with my ex.

Oh.

You never really talk about him much.

I thought, after the divorce,

that things would finally be better between us,

but I guess that was wishful thinking.

Hmm. How did you guys meet?

At a party.

It was the perfect combination -

good looking and emotionally unavailable.

- Ha. - I think I just

got addicted to the roller coaster ride of it all.

What changed?

Me.

Yeah. After years of therapy,

I... figured out I'd rather be in a healthy relationship.

Listen.

There was something I was hoping to talk to you about.

Okay.

You know, I think you're an amazing person, right?

Right.

But...

No.

No buts.

I was just thinking

we could take this relationship to the next level.

Are you asking me to go steady with you, Rob Shandon?

You know what? I think I am.

So, what do you say?

I thought you'd never ask.

(both laughing)

Frank.

Maybe I'd have noticed earlier,

might have pushed her to see a doctor sooner.

No. Hey, there is no way you could have known.

Hey, these things just happen. We can't control them.

Why don't we go back inside?

I can walk you and Edna through the entire procedure.

I can answer all of your questions.

I can't...

lose her, Maggie.

I'm sure she's just scared.

Why don't you give me a minute,

and I'll try and talk to her, see what I can do.

There's no point.

Well, it'll help, I promise.

No, it won't.

Edna's decided not to have the surgery.

What?

367 I know it's a lot to take in,

and I know how frightening all of this is, Edna,

but you should know the procedure isn't painful,

and you will be home after a few days.

It's not the surgery I'm worried about, Maggie.

It's Frank.

I wouldn't be recommending this

if the benefits didn't outweigh the risks.

I know that,

but I also know Frank,

and he's not strong enough

to handle it if something goes wrong.

(sighing)

You said I've had this tumour for years.

Why not just leave it alone?

Because it's too big.

The symptoms are only gonna get a lot worse.

That won't be for a while yet, right?

You need the surgery, Edna.

It is the best chance that you have.

(sighing)

I don't know.

(gulls cawing)

Just watered the garden.

It's looking good.

And I...

thought these might help cheer you up.

That's very sweet of you, Jacob.

Where'd Sydney go?

She said she had to do something at the lodge.

I'm just glad it isn't busy today.

Why don't I stick around and give you a hand?

Thanks.

I really appreciate that.

So, have you always had a green thumb?

My koohkom taught me a lot about plants.

Koohkom?

Grandmother.

- Oh. - You know,

you should trim the ends and put some sugar in the water.

It'll help them last longer.

Here.

I didn't know that.

Actually, I've never been very good with plants.

I had a cactus once,

and I drowned it.

I'll teach you everything I know,

so that doesn't happen again.

The cactuses of the world will appreciate that.

Mr. Hardy: Hey, sorry to bother you.

- Is everything okay? - It turns out

we've got a bit of an ant situation.

- Um... - I'll be right over.

Thank you.

Be right back.

?

Sully: Don't worry. It's gonna be okay, Frank.

Maggie's gonna talk some sense into her.

You know how stubborn Edna can be.

I think she just needs a little time.

I mean, she just got the diagnosis.

Oh, there's Maggie now.

- Any luck? - I tried my best,

but she said her mind's made up.

I thought I'd be able to get through to her.

I'm so sorry, Frank.

Thanks for trying.

This is ridiculous. She has to have that surgery.

We can't schedule it without her content.

So, what now?

We just need to come up with a different approach.

?

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I asked Cooper for the afternoon off.

I thought you might need the company.

That's really nice of you, but you didn't have to do that.

I wanted to. So, what's all this?

I'm just trying to figure out

what the inside of this place is going to look like.

I'm having trouble making up my mind.

Okay.

Maybe I can help.

Okay. Uh, well,

Rob's leaning towards a more conventional look,

but I was thinking...

something contemporary would be fun.

So, what's the problem?

I guess I'm just worried about making a mistake.

Well, you're gonna have to make up your mind

sooner or later, Syd.

Yeah, I know.

?

(knocking)

Cal: Hey, Edna.

Cal?

I just wanted to come say hi

and... see how you're doing.

As well as could be expected.

Yeah.

Do you remember when I first came to the Crossing?

Of course.

I'd just left New York, and, uh...

...I'd left my entire life behind me -

my job, everything.

And I was really struggling.

I was...

I was looking for a place to call home.

and you welcomed me with open arms.

I could tell you needed a friend.

I remember you, uh...

You even offered me odd jobs just to keep me busy.

I'm not sure...

I'd still be here today...

if it wasn't for you.

Well, I am glad you are.

I just want you to know how much you mean to me, Edna.

You know, Sully's out there, waiting.

He's has something he wants to tell you, too.

I'll send him in.

Sully: Brought you some chocolates from the gift store.

Hmm?

I know what you're doing.

Well, I'm not sure what you're talking about, Edna.

I'm not changing my mind, Sully.

We all just want to remind you of how much we love you, Edna,

that's all.

You know, I've been thinking a lot...

about when you first moved to the Crossing with Frank.

You've always been like family,

supported me through all my ups and downs.

Then, when I thought I'd reached the end of my rope...

...there you were,

waiting on the other end to help pull me up.

So, I know what it's like to be afraid.

And I'm here for you,

no matter what you decide.

I really appreciate that, Sully.

I talked to Dr. Rabney, told her how you feel.

(exhaling sharply) Thank you.

Look, I know that you said you've made up your mind.

And as a doctor, I can...

respect that decision.

But I love you, Edna.

(voice breaking:) The Crossing needs you.

And I need you.

- Maggie- - You once told me...

some risks are worth taking.

This surgery will give you and Frank the chance

to have a long and happy life together.

Isn't that worth fighting for?

I trust you, Maggie,

and I know you're

an excellent doctor.

So, if you really think I should have this surgery...

...then I will agree to it.

You will?

Thank God.

On one condition.

What's that?

You have to be the one to do it.

529 Maggie: I'm worried, Cal.

What if Dr. Rabney can't give me the paperwork?

Well, we'll just have to wait and see what she says.

I can't let Edna down.

(phone vibrating)

That must be her.

(phone vibrating)

Dr. Rabney.

Hi, Maggie. Good news.

I pulled a few strings and it looks like

I'll be able to get you that expedited

temporary license after all.

That's great.

We'll be transferring Edna to Halifax General for the surgery.

So, I guess we'll see you in a few days.

I really can't thank you enough.

I'm just happy I was able to help.

So...

looks like you're heading back to the OR.

Am I making a mistake, Cal?

What do you mean?

I haven't...

I haven't performed surgery in a while.

What about Jackson?

That was a much simpler procedure.

This one will require... a lot more skill

and a surgeon who can make quick decisions

under extreme pressure.

To be honest, I'm not sure I'm that person anymore.

Maybe you could call another neurosurgeon,

see what they have to say.

Yeah, maybe.

?

(phone ringing)

(phone beeping)

Helen: Sully, there you are.

I've been trying to reach you all day.

Where would you want to go first, if you had to pick one -

Kilkenny, Dublin,

or Galway?

Um...

I meant to call you.

Edna's in the hospital. She has a brain tumour.

Oh, no.

Is she gonna be okay?

Not sure yet.

Well, will you please let her know I'm thinking of her?

I will, but... I'm afraid this means

I won't be able to go to Ireland with you.

Oh.

I'm sorry, Helen.

I... I was looking forward to it, too.

That's all right. No, I understand.

You should be with... Edna.

It's important.

Yeah.

I hope this trip is everything you want it to be.

Thank you, Sully.

(phone beeping)

Thanks for dinner.

- It was great. - I'm glad you liked it.

It's nice to be able to cook for someone again.

Eating alone is no fun.

No.

They look so happy together here.

They really do.

You think Edna's surgery will go okay?

Edna's going to be in great hands.

I hope so

'cause I'm worried about Frank.

I know how much he loves her.

Why don't we go on a walk?

Try to take our minds off things for a bit.

Yeah. I'd like that.

Okay. Let me go grab my coat.

- (phone chiming) - Hi Jacob. It's Dr. Granovsky.

I spoke to the Dean and, unfortunately,

the department isn't willing to grant your request

to finish your master's remotely.

So, you'll need to complete your studies in Alberta.

- Call me back. Bye. - Lola: Did you say something?

No. I was listening to a message.

You ready to go?

Yeah.

(phone ringing)

- (phone ringing) - Hello.

It's me.

Maggie. I'm glad you called.

I hated how we ended things the other day.

Yeah, your call took me a little by surprise.

I shouldn't have called you on your mother's phone.

That wasn't fair of me.

Listen, I really need your advice.

Sure. What's going on?

It's Edna.

We found a lesion on her brain,

and, um, I wanted to get your opinion on it.

What kind of lesion?

It's a five-centimetre

left sphenoid wing meningioma.

It's encasing her optic nerves and carotid.

Any cognitive impairment?

Just headaches and vision loss.

Um, she's scheduled for surgery

at Halifax General in a few days.

Which procedure?

Craniotomy.

Sounds about right. What do you need my advice on?

She won't agree to the surgery unless I do it.

Oh. You want some help with a temporary license?

No, the hospital's already taking care of that.

Then, what is it?

Should I be doing this?

What do you mean?

What if I'm too close to Edna

to be able to make the right decisions?

You know what you're doing, Maggie.

I've been out of the O.R. for a while now.

You're the best neurosurgeon I know.

If anybody can help Edna, it's you.

Okay? Just...

remember to trust your instincts.

Okay? You'll be great. I'm here if you need me.

Thanks, Walter.

I'll check in with you later.

655 ?

? There's a light ahead ?

You nervous?

Uh... a little, yeah.

Can't stop thinking about how it's gonna be Edna

lying on that table.

I get it, but don't focus on that, all right?

It's gonna be fine.

Just... settle yourself and breathe.

Yeah.

? There's a day coming ?

And don't forget to change the daily specials on the board

or it'll confuse the customers.

I know, Edna.

And the Hardys, did they get checked in okay?

It's their honeymoon. I want everything to be perfect.

They're all good, Auntie. We're taking care of them.

I love you both.

I love you, Edna.

We'll be back after your surgery, okay?

? Bleed me white ?

? Find it harder than it's been ?

? This time ?

? To freedom I run ?

Big day today.

Yep.

You know it's gonna be okay, right?

Maggie's gonna take care of you.

Promise me you'll watch over Frank, if...

I need to know he's gonna be okay, Sully.

I don't want him to be alone.

He won't be.

I'll make sure that doesn't happen.

(sniffling)

? Drain what little hope you can ?

? You can try ?

I don't think I ever thanked you.

For what?

For giving Frank and me a place to call home all these years.

Wouldn't be much of a home for me without you in it

and your family, Edna.

I'll see you soon.

- Oh, and Sully. - Yeah?

No more sticky notes, okay?

No more sticky notes, Edna.

? Find it harder than its been ?

? This time ?

They said they'd be by to pick you up in a minute.

- (exhaling sharply) - ? This time ?

The surgery's gonna be over before you know it.

I'm looking forward to seeing your smiling face again.

Nothing's gonna happen, Edna.

But if it does...

It won't.

If it does...

I left an advance directive I need you to follow.

Edna, please.

I know you don't wanna talk about this, Frank,

and God, neither do I.

But if something goes wrong,

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life hooked up to a machine.

That's no way to live.

So, promise me...

...that you'll do what I need you to do if the time comes.

I will.

And I want you to take that Alaskan cruise.

Go see the Northern Lights for me.

And I will be there, with our ancestors, waiting for you.

We'll go see the Northern Lights together.

Nurse: Sorry to interrupt.

They're ready for you, Mrs. Cranebear.

You've given me a wonderful life, Frank.

Kis�kihitin.

- Kis�kihitin. - (Edna sniffling)

Kis�kihitin.

? They say everything ?

? Happens for a reason ?

? But I can't seem to find a way ?

? To settle and believe it ?

? Some things will level you ?

? With no lesson to be learned ?

? Some fires start from nothing ?

? And through the trees ?

? They burn ?

? But I'm cracking under heavy weight ?

I'm gonna place the oxygen mask over your face now, okay?

Okay.

? Some things just don't make sense ?

? You can't explain it all away ?

Gonna start the anaesthetic drip.

? And will never be okay ?

Okay, prep the patient for surgery.

? I'm asking why, a reason why ?

? Tell me why ?

? Tell me why... ?

? I will try not to cry ?

? Tell me why, tell me why ?

? Asking why ?

? A reason why ?

? Tell me why, tell me why ?

? I will try not to cry ?

? Tell me why, tell me why ?

You can do this.

759 ? Feel the breaking ?

? Pulling me under ?

? Caught up ?

? In a waiting game ?

? But I'm still holding on ?

? Show me a way out ?

? A way home ?

? Away from the pain ?

? Searching for light ?

? Through the darkness ?

Scalpel and sponge, please.

? All this time ?

Making the first incision.

? Morning comes ?

Sydney: Appreciate the update, Cal.

Thanks.

? They come and they fade ?

? Catching breaths ?

? In between the waves ?

They've taken her into surgery.

It's gonna be okay.

Jefferson forceps and monopolar cautery, please.

Elevating the scalp flap.

? Sometimes, it hurts ?

- Thank you. - ? Before it gets better ?

Opening the dura.

Can I get the navigation probe, please?

? So let it hurt ?

(monitor beeping)

? Everything's changing ?

? I shed my skin ?

Opening the sylvian fissure, exposing the distal artery.

Starting to debulk the tumour.

? I am so lost here ?

? All crashing down ?

I've identified the optic nerve

and proximal carotid artery.

Ultrasonic aspirator, please.

Taking the tumour from around the optic nerve.

Carotid's free.

- Nice work, Dr. Sullivan. - Congratulations.
