- Looking great.
- Mm.

Yeah, well, the secret is, uh...

night sweats with aggressive vomiting.

Dose-dense treatment's a bear, yes.

But you can't knock these results.

Hit me, coach.

Your tumor is regressing,
your polymorphonuclear cells

are over 1,000
for the first time in a week,

and your hemoglobin's
in the normal range.

I'd stand and cheer but, uh,

I think I'd, you know, fall over.

Max, you should feel good about this.

Well, yeah. No, I do, I do.

I just didn't know that feeling this good

would feel quite this bad.

Uh, Virginia?

I'm, uh, cold all the time.

Is that...

Common side effect.

Here.

And we'll hook you up to some fluids.

This is all good news.
The chemo is working.

Here looks good.

Sir, do you know what floor
your room is on?

I can call someone to get help.

Oh.

Sorry, Dr. Goodwin.

I didn't recognize you.

Science is about progress.

Why are we still relying so heavily

on methods developed 60 years ago?

For the same reason
we're still using penicillin

and aspirin: because they work.

In the future, when new
techniques have taken hold,

we will look back and cringe

at the barbarism of today's approach.

And immunotherapy is one
of these new techniques.

- I think it will be.
- But when?

Cancer patients need
effective treatments now.

How much of the cancer population

are your therapies
actually helping... 1%?

- More like 5%...
- Ah.

But some clinicians
are doing even better...

like Dr. Valentina Castro.

She even practiced at New Amsterdam

before Dr. Sharpe doubled down
on older treatments...

- Because they worked.
- And forced Dr. Castro out.

- Because hers didn't.
- Dr. Helen...

- Dr. Sharpe, please.
- Dr. Sharpe.

Can you tell us how you
view Dr. Panthaki's methods?

With pleasure.

I can't believe how much I missed that.

It used to be such a big part of my life.

It was my life.

You should come to Brussels with me.

What, now? 'Cause I... kinda thought

we were in the middle of something.

Well, next week
I'm presenting at a conference,

but you should be up there with me.

- Presenting?
- Doing

what we just did in that studio...

Debating.

More like wiping the floor with you.

Pretty sure I just
eviscerated your life's work

with my life's work.

Then I challenge you to a rematch.

In Brussels.

As long as we get
to keep making out like this.

Luke Bauer, previously
healthy 17-year-old,

status: post fall.

Now complaining of left arm weakness

and blurred vision.
Normal and stable heart rate and BP.

- Take him to trauma one?
- Tell me which came first:

the blurred vision or the fall?

Uh, I tripped because I couldn't see.

Take him to curtains.

We're gonna take good care of you, Luke.

All right, let's go.

Yesterday I was handing out flyers,

but I kept dropping 'em.

Thought maybe I was just
hungry, so I got a hotdog.

Took one bite, and I started choking.

You know, I could barely swallow.

After I woke up,
everything looked blurry,

and that's when I tripped and fell.

Botulism.

- Back off, dude!
- Sorry, uh...

Max Goodwin.
I'm the, uh, medical director.

Just grabbing a quick
thirst-quenching beverage.

Uh, all the symptoms
that you are experiencing

are from a toxin produced
by the botulism bacteria

that is growing
somewhere inside your body.

Wow.

Who knew talking could be this tiring?

That adds up. I'll order the antitoxin.

Yeah, I'll take care of him.

Who's gonna take care of you?

You're welcome to have a look yourself,

but the concerns are pretty clear.

You're being accused of forming
a non therapeutic alliance

with your patient, Avi Mantell.

- Yeah.
- As Deputy Medical Director,

all personnel complaints come to my desk,

so I'll be conducting the initial review.

Okay. And after that?

Let's hope there
isn't anything after that.

Yeah, okay. I trust the process.

I, uh, pulled all the case files

and therapy notes for Avi.

Everything's there.

- Great, thank you.
- Yeah, you got it.

We'll talk soon.

Helen, hey, hey.

I didn't, uh, you know...

I mean, I didn't
do anything wrong, right?

We'll talk soon.

Okay.

What's wrong with you?

Uh, throat cancer.

That sucks.

Really does.

Oh, here we go.

Cellulitis. This is where
the botulism bacteria is.

Growing in this cut is how
it got under your skin.

How'd you get this?

Uh, I was dumpster diving
a couple weeks back,

and let's just say my execution
wasn't a perfect ten.

I see that.

Hey, what... what are you doing?

I'm just outlining the infection

so that we can track
its, uh, progression...

or hopefully lack thereof.

Why didn't you come in sooner?

Don't have insurance.

That shouldn't have stopped you.

Come on, you know how it works.

You walk up to the desk,
they ask you for a card.

Without one, no one even looks at you.

It's embarrassing.

Being invisible is almost
worse than being sick.

Did you know Luke's had
that infection for two weeks?

Not surprised.

Back then it could have been
treated in a clinic, you know?

A few stitches, some antibiotics.

Cheap fix. But instead, he waited.

He ended up much sicker and in the E.D.

with inefficient, complex,
and very expensive care.

All solid points I'd love to discuss

when I'm not slammed.

All because he didn't have insurance.

I bet half the people in this
E.D. don't have insurance.

Probably more than half,
but there's nothing we can do.

You know what, there is.

There is something that we can do.

We can get every hospital administrator

down here right now.

Why would I do that?

So they can enroll everyone
in a proper insurance plan.

This is what the ACA set out to do...

to give everyone access

to health insurance they can afford.

- Isn't that... complicated?
- Yes.

Very.

But it's hurting our patients,
and it's costing us money,

and this could maybe fix both.

Health insurance
is available to these people,

and we're gonna get each
and every one of them enrolled.

This is Dr. Helen Sharpe,

Deputy Head of Medicine at New Amsterdam,

presiding over an internal investigation

into Dr. Ignatius Frome.

Also present is Ms. Tiara Dobbs.

This inquiry alleges that you, Dr. Frome,

violated hospital policy ADMN #23.

This policy addresses
non therapeutic relationships,

including ones where members
of staff are overly invested

in a child or family's care.

I... I've always tried to
provide the best care possible.

Your intentions aren't in question.

Oh, good.

Your methods are.

Have you ever shown favoritism

towards a particular patient?

No.

You've never bought gifts for a patient?

Um, birthdays, maybe. Yeah.

And... and sometimes
I might see a little something

that I know a kid
would respond to really well

or like in particular.

Uh, but I wouldn't, uh,
I wouldn't call it favoritism.

So your answer is yes.

Yes.

Have you ever brought special food

into the hospital for patients?

Uh-uh, no.

W-uh, wait, yes.

But the... the patient
specifically mentioned s'mores

in session, so...

- That's a yes also.
- Yes.

But w-we all go
the extra mile around here.

This inquiry isn't about
everyone else, Dr. Frome.

It's about you.

Have you ever initiated

uninvited physical contact?

I've never made anyone uncomfortable,

if that's what you mean.

That isn't a no.

Dr. Frome, have you ever hugged,

kissed, or otherwise touched
a patient without invitation?

No, I have never...

kissed a patient.

Have you ever hugged or touched a patient

without invitation?

Yes.

And you understand...

that that is outside the bounds

of a normal therapeutic relationship?

Yes.

I'm looking for my consult,
a seizure patient.

- Feng Shen?
- Follow the noise.

Please, Feng is very sick.

He needs you!

Yes, yes.

I see.

Excuse me.

Hello, Feng.

I'm Dr. Kapoor.

Has Feng lost weight recently?

- One at a time.
- Yes.

Feng does not want to eat.

Not at all.

Prep Feng for
a lumbar puncture right away.

You are staring awfully hard
at that screen.

Yeah, this might be
an awkward time to tell you,

but I'm in love with
coronary artery bypass surgery.

- Mm-hmm.
- What are you doing out here?

Uh, I was actually trying to see you.

Oh, that's cool.
I was on my way to see you.

Oh, do tell.

Well, I want you
to come to Sunday dinner.

Meet my family.

Or not?

I was gonna surprise you,
but I got invited

to this salon in Harlem
to see Ta-Nehisi Coates,

and you were gonna be my plus-one.

- No way.
- Yes!

- Oh, you know that's my boy.
- I know!

That's why I was so excited.

But I can meet your family
next Sunday, right?

Oh, my mom will look at me sideways

if I miss Sunday dinner,

and then my sisters will pile on.

So you've never missed a Sunday dinner?

College.

Then you deserve to have Ta-Nehisi

sign your "Black Panther" comic.

I do, don't I?

I'm in.

Yes!

- Phone number?
- No phone.

Address?

Wherever we are right now.

Do you have a PO box or something?

Yeah, for all my Amazon deliveries.

Oh, well, then I suppose there's no way

to mail you your insurance card.

Um...

I'll be right back.

Sorry to bother you, Dr. Goodwin.

My patient doesn't have
a social security number,

- and it's required for ACA.
- The family I just

tried to sign up
all gave me the same name.

- They're a family.
- The same first name.

Okay, give me... give me a second.

Curious: is this better

or worse than what you had in mind?

Luke Bauer's cellulitis has progressed

to necrotizing fasciitis.

He may have already seeded
his heart valves.

I'll page Reynolds and book an O.R.

- Okay. Hmm?
- Dr. Goodwin.

I can't tell if my patient is a good fit

for this insurance plan

because I can't decipher the plan myself.

I've gotta hand it to you, boss.

You have outdone yourself this time.

- Did I?
- The entire hospital...

and I mean the entire hospital...

have been talking about your insane plan

to sign every single patient up
for health insurance.

Uh, seriously, what were you thinking?

Max? Max!

Yeah, I'm right behind you.

You want me to have someone
bring you up a wheelchair?

No, no, I'm totally good.

I'm just... much slower.

You got lapped by a 92-year-old

- with a walker.
- Ouch.

But you're not wrong.

The, um, insurance thing was flawed,

but you, uh, know why?

Um, it's hard to narrow down

exactly which joke to make here.

This is a public hospital, right?

Our help is free to the public.
That's the whole thing.

People don't need insurance
to be treated here,

and most people right now
don't know that.

And how do you expect
to fix that problem?

Um, let me see this.

Now, look.

This is how we fix it.

And what exactly is included

in the New Amsterdam Family Plan?

Um, just about everything.

And how much will people pay for it?

- Kinda like nothing.
- Yeah?

- That's what I thought.
- Yeah, I'm gonna need copies.

Maybe... what do you think,
500,000 to start?

Yeah, sure.

And then what?
We hide them in chocolate bars?

No, I was thinking we might hand them out

to every resident of New York City.

Have you and Dr. Frome ever been alone

in the same room together?

Yeah, during session.

And during session...

has Dr. Frome ever initiated
physical contact?

Why are we talking about this?

Ms. Dobbs told me
that she witnessed Dr. Frome

touch you on your head, neck, and face.

It's okay.

Like, a hand on my shoulder, I guess.

Or on my knee sometimes.

How did it make you feel?

This is stupid.

I'm sorry.

I am sorry, but it... it's important.

How did it make you feel?

I don't want to talk about that, okay?

Does physical contact make you feel

uncomfortable sometimes?

Avi?

Have you ever been
touched inappropriately

by Dr. Frome or anyone else?

Honey.

I didn't know how to tell you.

Avi, we're gonna protect you.

Can you tell us who?

I wanna talk to Dr. Frome.

Injecting dye.

Dye filling chamber.

Right there. You see that, Max?

Small vegetation
on Luke's bicuspid valve.

Got it.

- You okay up there?
- Mm.

Numbers never been better. Huh.

That's surprising, seeing as
you've never looked worse.

- No offense.
- None taken.

Dr. Reynolds?

Dr. Kapoor's requesting a consult.

Okay. I'm done here.

Oh, Max?

I took a look at Luke's calf.

The, uh, general surgeon's on the way.

All right, tell them
he's been injecting heroin

under the skin.

He said he got it dumpster diving.

Then he lied.

Pulmonary and meningeal tuberculosis.

- Very troubling.
- Well, TB happens.

We just gotta isolate the boy,
zap him with antibiotics,

and Bob's your uncle.

Yes, if only it was just Bob.

Their entire family lives in
a multi-family home in Queens.

I've asked them to come for testing.

All of them.

Iggy!

You need to think about this.

What's there to think about?
A patient asked to talk to me.

He's no longer your patient.

Well, those darn
doctor-patient boundaries.

Famously a weakness of mine.

There's been hearings about it
and everything.

- You were there.
- Iggy, you are a kind man,

but if you talk to this boy

your kindness
is gonna be used against you.

Every word you say is gonna be
placed under a microscope.

I hear you. I understand,

and I know you're trying to help me,

but if I'm not there for my patients

when they need me the most,
what am I doing here?

Why even do this job at all?

Avi has something to say to me,

I'm going to listen,
no matter the consequence.

- Iggy...
- That's it!

End of story.

Please, everyone, let's...
let's just stay calm, okay?

TB is a very treatable disease.

But when can they come home?

TB likes to play hide-and-seek,

so the process of eradicating the disease

from the body can be lengthy.

Ann and Feng will need to pass three

negative sputum tests in a row.

How long will that take?

Three to nine months.

Surgery went well.

We managed to remove
all of the infection.

Few weeks of pills and you should be...

you should be fine.

Um, this is...

well, it's just like insurance.

And you can use this

to get, uh, follow-up care here
at New Amsterdam.

You just walk up to any of these desks

and you flash this baby, and...

and they'll honor it.

And they'll treat you with respect.

And you won't get a bill.

Seriously?

Yeah.

And you can use it also at, uh...

- At one of our rehab clinics.
- What...

And you should, Luke, because
what you're doing to yourself...

- I knew it.
- Luke, I just...

Just forget your stupid card.

I'm not coming back here
so you can talk down to me,

accuse me of things I didn't do.

You're just like everyone else.

- Wait...
- Just back off, okay?

Hey.

I know this is weird, but...
but it, um...

This is a bad idea.

You know what?

This is unusual. I get it.

Don't even look at them, all right?

Just hang with me.

It's just me and you, like always.

Okay?

What's up? How you feeling?

Messed up.

Okay, that's a good start.

What's messed up?

Like...

they asked if... if you touched me.

And... and you do, right?

And that's, like, okay,

because when you do,

I feel loved or whatever.

Good.

But then it's like, what do I know?

Because, you know...

times in my past...

before you, I, uh...

Have you ever felt differently

when someone else touched you?

Well, n-no.

I don't know...
that's what's so messed up.

Yeah, yeah, I get it.

It sounds confusing.

Why... why don't we... Let's simplify.

Where were you first time this happened?

I was in Missouri.

- Watching TV.
- What was on TV?

- A soap.
- A soap?

- She liked them.
- Okay.

Tell me about her.

She'd watch me while my mom was at work.

You know, I'd sit on her lap

and she'd scratch my back.

Oh.

And then one day...

she asked if I...

if I wanted to kiss.

You know, like they did on the TV.

And we did.

And then she asked me
to lie on top of her.

- How old were you?
- Five.

That must have been really scary.

It wasn't. She was nice to me.

I just...

I couldn't.

You looked forward to it.

I'm sick.

- I'm disgusting.
- No, no.

Avi, you are not disgusting.

The only disgusting thing here is a woman

in a position of power
taking advantage of a kid.

Of a child.

Not you.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't you tell your mom?

It's okay.

You'll feel better if you say it.

She's my aunt.

Care to explain this latest scheme?

Um, I wouldn't really call it a scheme.

Uh, nothing on that card is a lie.

We are a public hospital and, uh,

we do treat everyone

whether or not they have, uh, insurance.

- So you're advertising.
- Yeah, exactly.

I mean, do you know...
do you know how many people

don't even know that they can
come to us for free?

How many of these did you make?

Um...

I don't think you want to know that.

If everyone in the city knew
they could just walk in here

without insurance,
the whole system would crumble.

Agree to disagree.

I think the more patients
that we can help

and the earlier we can help them,

then the better the system will be.

A public hospital only survives

because so many people
don't realize they can use it.

If everyone started coming
in here when they were sick,

this hospital would run out of money.

Well, good thing
I'm talking to the one person

who can actually get us more funds.

Are you trying to
singlehandedly socialize medicine?

Public hospitals are socialized medicine.

It already happened, it's already here,

and it had nothing to do...

with me.

So why don't we just call some
things like we see it, right?

The U.S. military... largest and
most funded socialist program

in the entire world.

We have public schools and...
and public libraries,

and the police department
and the fire department.

And we can all get behind
socialism there,

but just not in our hospitals.

Is this the hill you want to die on?

Despite all appearances,
I am not dying anytime soon.

Dr. Reynolds.

So, how are things with you and Evie?

You... you just went
right there, didn't you?

I'm sorry, okay?

I just don't have the headspace
for small talk anymore.

All right, well, we're good, you know?

We're... we're really good,
thanks to you.

You taking her home
to meet the family yet?

- Not yet.
- Why not?

You should get on that.

You know, it's good to have you back.

- "Back."
- Yeah.

You're back, aren't you?

I was actually here to talk to Max

about extending my leave.

Oh, for how long?

Like... forever.

Is there any chance
I can change your mind?

No.

Any chance, I mean,
Max can change your mind?

No, which is why I wanted to

talk to him in person.

Have you seen him?

What, it's that bad?

It's way worse.

Jeez, I thought I was the liability.

Hey, Lauren?

You know I got you, right?

Hey, whoa. Is there a problem?

Caught this guy stealing
these from the hospital.

Uh, no, he... he didn't steal those.

Uh, I... I gave them to him.

It was part of a needle exchange program.

Luke.

Well,

it's, uh... it's all out in the open now.

Hannah told us that her sister

was a victim of abuse as well.

But she never imagined her sister

would do... that to someone else,

let alone a member of her family.

I'll call Child Protective.

Great, thank you.

Will they be okay?

Yeah, I think so.

Just... it'll take
a little time, you know?

- Thank you.
- For what?

Being you.

Yeah, I'm not sure
that's a good thing anymore.

Feng starts kindergarten in two weeks.

- He was so excited.
- I understand,

but active TB is highly contagious.

If you go home or Feng goes to school,

you risk infecting a great many people.

You can infect your entire family.

I want NaiNai.

Will they get the best care
here at the hospital?

Yes.

_

Bao Bao, NaiNai is here.

And I'm not leaving.

Ann and Feng need more
than just antibiotics.

- They need their family.
- Right.

Then their family can come
during visiting hours.

How do you think that 80-year-old woman

can sit on that stool?

Or for any one of them
can stare at their loved ones

through that glass wall?

The family will adapt.

That's what I'm scared of.

They will adapt to a life
without each other.

Look, there's nothing
we can do, all right?

Ann and Feng have to stay in isolation.

Dr. Goodwin, can I get you a wheelchair?

Yes, thank you.

- Max.
- Could you give me a hand?

I don't remember
this slope being so steep.

Max, you need to stop.

Why? No.

The Community Care office needs these.

They're gonna help pass them out.

How long has it been

since you could swallow your own saliva?

- Few days.
- Can you get dressed?

- Shower by yourself?
- Look, the chemo's working.

It's working. Stauton said it could be

as little as... as three months.

"Three months"?

You won't make it three weeks.
You're wasting away.

Look, I just need to hang on
a little bit longer.

The numbers don't lie.

The cancer will be cured,

but we will run the last course
of chemo into your dead body.

You are dying, Max.

Well, then this may be one
of the last things I do.

Just... just... Max!

Oh...

No, it's okay. We're fine, thank you.

It's over, you are done. No more chemo.

- You're not my doctor.
- I am now.

I am your doctor, Max.

I'm taking you off the chemo
and radiation.

I'm gonna find you a different regimen,

and I'm gonna save your life.

But first thing I'm gonna do
is send you home.

It's time for you to go home, Max.

You're going home to stay alive.

This is not the end.

Dr. Frome?

I'm sorry to have put you through this.

Are you serious?

You put my entire
medical practice in jeopardy,

and now you're just gonna... what?

You're just gonna let me off the hook?

I realize you were just
trying to help him.

But I didn't.

You were right about me.

Dr. Frome...

Do you... do you have any idea
how many patients

I have held in my arms?

How many kids I've bought clothes for?

Books for?

I try so hard to make them feel safe...

Make them feel the love

that they should have gotten
somewhere else.

I can see that now.
What you did for Avi...

only you could do that for him.

That's the problem.

If you hadn't filed your report,

Avi would have gone on to some therapist

and he would have had a huge setback

because he couldn't speak
his truth to anybody but me.

If I'm only teaching patients
to speak to me

and not to deal with the world
after they leave my care,

well...

the phrase I would use for that

is "non therapeutic relationship."

The rules exist for a reason,

and I broke them repeatedly.

Now the only thing for me to do
is to be a different therapist.

Different therapist than I want to be.

Than I know how to be.

Vijay.

There's nothing more to do for the Shins.

Ansuya and I were a...

love match.

But my parents didn't approve...

So we saw them less and less.

Along the way, we made...

many little decisions...

that added up to...

A big distance between us.

Soon...

family meant only...

me...

Ansuya...

And Rohan.

So you don't see them anymore?

We haven't spoken to each other for a...

Long, long time.

We won't let that happen
to the Shins, will we?

No.

We won't.

How long have you been standing there?

I gotta come clean.

Okay.

Ta-Nehisi may be my boy,

but I have a whole family
who still thinks of me

as their boy.

So we won't go this Sunday.

Well, that's the thing.
I'm not saying no to this Sunday.

I'm saying no to every Sunday.

That's how important my family is, and...

I think I was afraid to admit that.

Why?

Well, there's a whole part of me

outside this hospital
that you don't know.

You know, like church, my aging mom,

my sisters ganging up on me, you know?

What if you didn't like that part of me?

Or them?

- How could I not?
- You don't know my family.

Well, you're right. I don't.

So I'd better be meeting them
this Sunday.

I don't have an appointment,

but I'm hoping you can fit me in.

Well, I will have to check my books.

Our hotel...
I can't wait for you to see it.

It is in the center
of the historic district.

Three Michelin-starred restaurants

in walking distance.

But you won't be joining me, will you?

I can't.

Akash, I am so sorry.

Right now, I can't imagine...

sitting on a panel defending
traditional chemotherapy

when my day has been
one long, crushing example

of precisely how traditional
chemotherapy can fail.

This is about Max.

Yes, it is.

Max helped me rediscover
my love of medicine

and got me back in the hospital.

And it's not just me.

You can see it on the faces
of all the doctors.

All the nurses. All the staff.

He has helped them all so much,
so profoundly.

And now...

it's our turn to help him.

Max.
