- I want a baby, too.

- My motility and
sperm count are low.

- Low isn't no.

- Hank, I want to apply
to medical school.

- You will be
a fantastic doctor.

- It would mean that I have
to slow down at HankMed.

Eventually quit.

- You know that glitch?

It's not a technical problem.

- So then,
what's the issue?

- We've been hacked.

- How many were affected?

- They were clearly after
only one patient record.

Yours.

- You really still
don't want to know?

- Please, God,
let it be a boy.

- Carlos is about
to receive his first treatment.

- For what?
- My family's disease.

He has the marker too, Hank.

- What treatment
is he undergoing?

- I'm off to see him
in the morning.

If you were able
to join me, I'd--

- Of course.
Consider it done.

So, where is Carlos?

- Hong Kong.

with him about anything.

- No, I think I've got it.

- Yeah, well, look,

it's a full schedule,

I'm in the middle of
this hospital renovation.

- So I can't call on
your medical skills

in case of an emergency?

- No, no, it's just--

between Hamptons Heritage

I pretty much have
three full-time jobs,

and I'm afraid
they all suffer.

- Tell me about it.

Who knew having it all
would be so exhausting?

- Yeah.

It's funny, I used to
complain about the fact that

no one treated me like an adult,
and now it's reversed.

It's like,
everyone's depending on me.

- Welcome to being
a grown up.

But you don't have to
stress about HankMed.

I've covered for Hank
before, you know.

- Yeah, but not when you were
this b--when you were this far--

you should take
care of yourself.

That's all I'm saying.

- You are grown up.

That's very considerate.

- I guess after everything
Paige and I have been through

I have an appreciation for how
precarious pregnancy can be.

- Rest assured: Jeremiah has
the bulk of the patients today.

I'm doing some paperwork
and some simple follow-ups.

- Oh, all righty, then.

- But I thank you for
your thoughtfulness,

and so does this increasingly
restless baby boy.

- Wait, boy?

You're having a boy?
- I meant--I said "baby."

I said "baby."
I'm sure that I said "baby."

- Sashi's getting
a baby brother?

I can't believe it.
Divya, that's so--

I thought you guys
didn't want to know.

- We don't.

We didn't want to know--

I just saw it
on the ultrasound, okay?

I just--I haven't told Raj.

Just please--just keep this
between us.

I promise.

Sashi's getting
a baby brother!

- Evan.

It'll be our secret, yeah.

Don't ever tell anyone
I told you this, including her.

- They're flying you to
Manhattan for the surgery.

Your finger's no worse
for the wear,

and thankfully,
you're still in

the time frame
for replantation.

- Is it too late to attach
bolt cutters instead?

- You'll also be given
supportive therapy

for the metal fume fever,

and your effusions of
the lungs and the chest

will clear in a few days
with the right medication.

- Stop for a sec.
- Mm-hmm.

- Never thought I'd get sick
from cutting through metal.

- Not that I am one to endorse
breaking and entering,

but if you use a respirator,
this won't happen again.

And the mask,
it's necessary.

- Eh, kinda ruins
my impossibly dashing image.

- Really, Win?

I'll--I'll wear the mask.

Divya, thank you.

- Just floating in the water?
- Yeah.

- Oh, my God.
If I ever lose a finger--

- Make sure it's in open water.
- Just not rapids.

- Or quicksand.
Avoid quicksand.

- Yes, quicksand
would be bad.

- You know, modern medicine
today, it's amazing.

It's given us
so many options

that were unthinkable before.

- Mm-hmm.

- So, you would agree, Raj?

- Absolutely.
My life's been totally changed.

That arthroscopic knee
surgery saved me.

- Oh, you had that?
- Yeah.

Yeah, and look at
all the advances

in sports surgeries, too.

- Tommy John has totally
transformed the MLB.

- Totally.
- What about the twins?

Are the twins into
baseball yet, Raj?

- Well, I hate to brag,
but even at age two,

Cal rolls a mean curve ball.

- Aw, they're so adorable,
and even-tempered.

Have they always
been so easy?

- Well--
- Actually, no.

But Divya and I have a pact

not to talk endlessly
about our kids.

- It can get tiresome.
- I like that pact.

- Oh, no, but I love to
hear about kids,

and where they
came from.

- Yes, Raj,
why don't you tell us

how Bea and Cal began?

- Um, that could get
a little personal, now.

- Not at all.

Unless you believe intimacy
belongs in the Petri dish.

- Oh, your kids are
the result of...

- IVF.
- IVF.

What was it like?

- Well, if you really
want to hear about it...

- Yeah, why don't you
tell us all about it?

- Well, all of it
may not be fitting

for the end of such
a lovely meal.

It's not really something
a man can be proud of.

Never have I felt
less essential.

- Really?
How come?

- Where to begin?

The sticky old-school magazines
in the deposit room?

The nurse actually called it
"the deposit room."

- Oh, my God, I'm having PTSD
from the time I donated sperm.

There was no way I was gonna

touch that remote,
I'll tell you.

- Luckily,

that short-lived
moment led to...

- Months of Karen
crazed on hormones!

Suddenly I was shacked up
with a category 5 cyclone.

I felt hormonal.
- Yeah, well, yeah--

- One night,
we'd run out of whipped cream,

her best stabilizer,
and I was in a race against time

with the mixer on ten,

and I got the spoon
twisted up in the blades--

- That's funny.
- And I went outside

and howled at the moon.

Not my finest hour.

It may, in fact, well have been
the beginning of the end for us.

- Yeah, well, it's over now,
and, uh,

you got two great
kids out of the bargain, so...

- And I couldn't
love them more.

Though sometimes I still do
hold it against them.

- Wow, that's rough, man.
- I'm not proud of it.

- Yeah, does anyone
want any more coffee?

- No, I think it's late.
We have to go.

- Is it?
I mean, it's not even--

- Why don't you take some
pie with you?

- I believe I owe the success
of this venture to you, Hank.

- Oh, it was
a team effort.

- I would not have conceived
of the improvised implant.

- Well, med school pranks
can still be useful.

It fits just below
the epidermal layer.

How long before someone realizes
it's my blood, not yours?

- We'll see.

Their next move could
tip their hand.

- Do you know who it is?

- Unfortunately,
at this moment,

I can imagine
only one possibility.

- And you won't tell me.

Because you think
I can't be trusted

with that information?

- No, because I pray
that I'm wrong.

well be the last, Hank.

That is something I dared not

Thank you, Hank.

out with those guys more often.

- I've always liked Raj.
- Me, too.

- I was kind of surprised
by his IVF rant, though.

- Well, I think he was joking.

I mean, we did kill
two bottles of red.

- No, he just sounded
a little insecure.

Us guys can have
such fragile egos.

- Really?
About IVF?

- Yeah.

It's just one more
viable way of making a baby.

- Totally.

- It's all about

- Exactly.

- Yeah.

I think I might be ready.

- Well, that's awesome.

- Are you ready?
- Oh, I've been ready

You know, with low motility,
it's recommended, right?

- Why didn't you
say something?

- Because, you're the one

take all the drugs
and have the procedures.

I couldn't...
push that on you.

You know, this one
had to be your call.
