- Previously
on "Royal Pains"...

- I got big news.
I'm getting married!

- That's a little sudden, no?

- Yeah, and yet,
it can't come soon enough.

- We have a problem.
- What?

- Dad--
he's not coming.

I guess you were right
to have doubted him, after all.

- Hank hasn't heard
from him either?

Are you going to reach out?

- No, not this time.
The ball's in Eddie's court.

- Hank, I want to apply
to medical school.

- Divya, it's the admissions
office from Johns Hopkins.

- I'm wait-listed.

- Is it true?

- The doctor called
this afternoon,

and if all goes well,

we could be pregnant
by the end of the month.

[engine sputtering]

- Really?

- Thanks.

[clears throat]

[monitor beeping]

- Thank you.

[bell rings]

- [sighs]

You got to be kidding me.

- Oh. You're here.
- Yes, I am.

- Oh.
Today's the day.

- Well, Paige and I were keeping
her egg retrieval private,

given the expectations,
but, yeah, today's the day.

- Okay.
- Why are you here?

- Your office said you were
in the male room,

which I assumed is a room
where mail is delivered,

not where that
gets delivered.

- [laughs]

Yeah, well...

What's wrong?
- What?

- You look like
something's wrong.

Did you have to
euthanize the Saab?

Or is your dream house
sold already or both?

- No, and, no.
The Saab is fine.

Oh, she will be
once her radiator's stabilized.

And I'm looking at the house
after work today.

But I need to borrow your car.
- Yeah.

- We don't have to get into why.
- Sure.

When you say,
"We don't have to get into why,"

I really start wondering why.

- Yeah, just give me the keys.

It's nothing for you to worry
about, especially today.

- Okay, now
you're freaking me out.

What the heck's going on?
- [sighs]

I found out
that Dad had heart surgery.

Five days ago, he underwent

a transcatheter
aortic valve replacement.

- I'm not a doctor.

- It's a repair of his stenosis.
- Henry?

- His heart valve
wasn't working.

- Is he okay?
- I think so.

I mean, it's not like
it was open-heart or anything,

and he was discharged,
which means he's fine,

but I'm going to Passaic
to try to find him.

- Passaic?

Wait. How did you find out
about all of this?

- Um, I hired a PI
to look for him.

And get this, she found him
under the family name Roth,

when he used
his health insurance.

- So I thought
we were keeping the ball

in Eddie's court
this time.

- Yeah, that's how you felt,
and I get it,

but I felt differently.

- So you went behind my back?

- Look, this just didn't feel
like dad's other disappearances.

Before, he was always
escaping from trouble.

This time--
- I don't care why.

- Do you have
something for me?

- Oh, yeah. It's this.
That's my, uh...

Evan R. Lawson.
Handle with care.

[sighs]

You know what, Henry?
Do whatever you want.

- Look, don't think
about this, okay?

You got a big day. I'll let you
know what I find out.

- Don't bother.

You're right, Paige and I don't
need the extra stress right now.

[rock music]

♪

- [clears throat]

- May I help you?

- Yes. Hi.
I'm Dr. Hank Lawson.

A patient of mine,
Edward Roth,

recently had
a valve replacement.

I wanted to pick up
his records.

[keys clacking]

- Roth. Roth.

Oh, yeah, Eddie.
Sweet guy.

- Yeah, he is.

- He sent a copy of his book
to the doctor.

- That's him.

- Wow. The Hamptons.
Nice there?

- Very nice, yeah.

- Never been. Is it better
than down the Shore?

- It's, uh, different.
- Huh.

So what brings you all the way
to Passaic, Dr. Lawson?

- Oh, actually, I grew up here.
- Oh.

- Still have ties.
- Mm.

- Okay, look,
I can't do this.

He's not my patient.
He's my dad.

We're not in contact,
and I'm worried about him.

Can you help me out?

- Are you really
Dr. Hank Lawson?

- Yes, yes, I am.
I promise.

- Then it's not an issue.

He listed you
as his emergency contact.

- He did?

- He wrote,
"in case something goes wrong,"

and signed the release.

So, even though nothing
did go wrong,

I can email it to you.

- Great. Great.
Thank you.

Did he leave an address?

- A PO box.
- Oh.

- He has a follow-up appointment
in a week.

- Yeah, if he keeps it.

- The doctor
doesn't read much.

He asked me to recycle it.

- Oh.

- It's not too far.

Do you need directions?
- No, I know the way.

[chuckles]

[doorbell rings]

Hello?

Anybody home?

- [coughing]

- Dad?

What are you doing here?
- [groans] I'm dying.

- Dad, are you having
chest pain, trouble breathing?

- No, just my stomach.

- Okay, what about your groin
where they put in the catheter?

- No, no, no, no, no.
No, my stomach.

- Okay. Let me feel.
I'm not gonna hurt you.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What happened to the part where
you're not going to hurt me?

- Yeah, Dad, your bladder
is severely distended.

When's the last time
you peed?

- I don't know.
Maybe yesterday.

The day before that was
every five minutes.

- Okay, and did it burn?

- Uh-huh.
Like the Cuyahoga River.

Hank, I feel like
I'm going to explode.

- Yeah, you're burning up.
Okay, stay here.

- What am I going to do--
shoot hoops?

- Okay.

- Hurry up.

Oh.

[upbeat music]

♪

.

- Okay, ambulance is on the way.

I'm not sure we can
wait that long.

- Because?

- Because I think
your bladder's about to rupture.

Post-op urinary retention
is normal,

but you're running a fever.

You had
a Foley catheter, right?

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay, I think
it gave you prostatitis--

an infected prostate
that's swollen so badly,

it's obstructing your bladder,
and if your bladder bursts...

- I die.

- Well, at the very least, you'd
expose all your abdominal organs

to infection,
and you don't want that.

- No, no, no,
Hank, it hurts.

[groans]

- Okay. Okay.

- It hurts.
Hank, it hurts.

- I know. I know.

And in we go.

- That hurts.
- Yep, yep, okay.

- Oh.
- It's about to feel better.

And I'm removing the needle.
That's it.

Okay.

And...

there we go.

There we go.

- [groans]
- [sighs]

Whew.
- Thank you, Hank.

- You're welcome.
- Oh, you know...

- What?

- It's always been your brother
that's taken the piss out of me.

- [laughs]

- Watch your shoes.

- Oh, thank you.

- Oh.

- So...

we have retrieved 14 eggs
from you, Mrs. Lawson--

healthy
and perfect in every way.

- Oh, that's wonderful.
- Oh, my God.

- Indeed.

The laboratory
must separate them

from their follicular fluids and
prepare them for fertilization.

- That's gr--
And what about my, uh, stuff?

- Your semen is substandard.
- Yeah, I know.

- But if we are able to
salvage a few healthy gametes,

we will proceed

with the intracytoplasmic
sperm injection.

- ICSI.
- Right, ICSI.

Uh, and if that works,
we get--

- Blastocysts...

then embryos.

- [chuckles]
Sorry.

Has anyone ever told you you
remind them of a Bond villain?

Like--

- Dr. Gruber, um, would it
be possible for us

to actually watch
the procedure?

- No.

During fertilization, the
environment must remain sterile.

[laughing]

[sighs]
That is my joke--

sterilization and fertility

being customarily antithetical,
of course.

- Of, of course. Right.
- Right. Antithetical.

- And it's very funny
once you explain it.

- We are talking about the
moment of conception, though,

like, the two of us
making a child.

So, if there's any way for us
to be present, it would be--

- Nonessential.

Trust me, if you wish
to become pregnant,

you must step aside
and let us do nature's work.

[chuckles]

- Okay, we've
emptied your bladder,

filled you with antibiotics,
and away we go.

- You're a lifesaver, kiddo,

and thanks for saying
you'd take care of me

so I could be discharged.

- Yeah, I didn't just say it.
I am taking care of you...

in the Hamptons.

- Oh, that works for me too.

Look who got
a big-boy doctor car.

- It's Evan's. Here we go.

- Slow, slow, slow, slow.
Slow.

- This is slow.
- Okay.

- Wait. Your car
is in the shop again?

- Yep.

Thank you.

[sighs]

Dad, before we go,
I need to ask you something.

- Put on my seat belt.

- No.

Well, yeah...

but what I really need
to ask is,

why the hell
did you disappear like that?

- When I asked Newberg
to marry me,

I knew two things...

that I loved her

and that I needed
heart surgery

and I could die.

- That's three things.

- Are you gonna nitpick,

or are you gonna let me
finish the story?

- Sorry, sorry.
Go ahead.

- And I didn't want
any of you to think

that I asked her to marry me
so that I wouldn't die alone.

- Nobody wants to die
alone, Dad.

- That's why I asked her
to marry me.

- Oh.
- And I love her.

I really do.
- I know you do.

- But lying to her...

created
so much guilt.

I panicked.

And when I panic...

- Yeah, we know.

- My therapist
almost fired me.

- [chuckles]

- I'm a schmuck.

- [sighs]
[engine turning over]

- [sighs]
- Any word from Johns Hopkins?

- No, but Raj
is in Baltimore right now,

looking into
job possibilities.

- Oh, that's good.
- No, it's not.

It's more pressure.
It's more anxiety.

It's more of me spinning around
in my own head,

wondering if I was an idiot

to pin all of my hopes
on one school.

- You're not an idiot.
You're, uh--you're aspirational.

- Okay. I'm hardheaded
or uncompromising.

That's what my mother would say.
[car alarm beeps]

That if you insist
on having it all...

you could end up
with nothing.

- Maybe if I'd been
more socially active

when I was at Johns Hopkins,

my letter of recommendation
would have carried more weight.

- Oh, no, no, no.

I'm sure it actually
has more to do

with how much money you give
after you graduate.

- Right. Probably too late
for that now.

- Good afternoon, Divya,
Dr. Sacani.

I'll see you at tomorrow's
board meeting, yes?

- Uh, yes, yes,
we'll definitely be there.

- Good.

Important matters to discuss.

[engines turning over]

- Well, I bet I know what one
of the important matters is.

Your virosome.
Congratulations.

- Oh, um, it's hardly news.

Promising, yes, but there's
still a lot of work to be done.

- That is not what I heard.

My friend in Berlin told me
about the Phase One trial

that's happening over there,

like, in Latvia
or something, right?

- Uh, maybe it's
someone else's virosome.

Ours isn't ready
for trial yet.

- Are you sure?

Because they said they heard
it from a KJR exec

who said it was theirs.

Is it possible Boris' company

has more than one virosome
in development?

- It's possible,
just not likely.

- Here we go.

All right, we're gonna
sit right here.

Easy, easy, I don't want to
call you Papa Stitch.

- Oh. Oh.
- There you go.

- Better. Good.

- [clears throat]

[sighs]
Home sweet home.

- If you don't mind, I'm going
to spend the rest of the day

right here.

- Yeah, I don't mind.

Dad?
- Hmm?

- One last question--

Why Passaic?
Why the old house?

- It's where your mother
got sick.

- Yeah, okay, but how'd you know
the owner wouldn't be there?

- [chuckles]
I knew. I'm the owner.

- What?

You've owned that house
this entire time?

- Yeah, it was always my plan
to give it to you and Evan.

Then one day Evan said,
"I hated that house."

It made me sad.

Then you guys did so well
for yourselves,

I thought giving you the house,
it's pathetic.

And so it's been sitting empty
for a long time,

and I thought, "This might be
the perfect place to..."

- To punish yourself
and suffer alone.

- Seemed fair.

My turn.

- But Mom didn't suffer
alone, Dad.

She had me,
and she had Evan,

and now you have me
and Evan.

But you've got to decide
if you deserve us.

.

- Oh, my God,
I love the master suite--

all that beautiful woodwork.

- Oh, I restored
that myself.

- When my Saab broke down in
front of your "for sale" sign,

I thought life had
thrown me a curveball,

but maybe it did me a favor.

- Curveballs are like that.
Trust me. I'm an expert.

Come see the view outside.
- Yeah.

- [sighs]
- Wow.

[chuckles]
- Feel free to wander.

The property line
goes down to the water.

I'd join you, but my knees
can't take the hills.

Oh. Well, my knees, my hips,
my ankles...

- You have a health issue?

- Early stages,
rheumatoid arthritis.

One of those common diseases

that doctors still
don't know much about.

- While it's not my specialty,

I do know they have
new treatments

that can ease the progression.

- My granny had RA and was
pretty crippled by age 50, so...

it seems wise to move back
to Manhattan

where I have an elevator
and my pick of rheumatologists.

- Well, I'm sorry to hear
that's why you're selling.

- Hopefully not so sorry
that you won't make an offer.

- [chuckles]

- It is hard
to let go of a place

that's been such a huge part
of your life.

- Yeah, I know what you mean.

And this house
is clearly special.

I mean, I didn't even know
I was looking until I saw it.

I don't have
a real-estate agent yet.

- Me neither.
- Oh.

- I'm a big DIY fan this year,

and I don't just mean
sanding woodwork.

I had no idea
what to ask for this place,

so I went on Zillow,
looked for comps--easy.

Turns out you can do anything
if you're forced to.

- God, I wish all my patients
had your attitude.

- [chuckles] Well, I wasn't
talking about my health.

The offer has to be approved
by my soon-to-be ex-husband.

- Ah.

I'm beginning to understand
your expertise in curveballs.

- Not that he won't accept
the offer.

It's just, he's traveling, so it
may take a while to reach him,

but it's a friendly divorce.

- Oh, I hear that's the best
kind, if you can pull it off.

- 24 years with
your childhood sweetheart

should count for something.

- Yeah.
- But, you know, we grew apart.

To be honest, he grew apart.

So I decided to move out here

and devote myself
to turning our summer house

into a fresh start for me.

- Uh-huh. And then you
became symptomatic.

- Please don't mention
anything about my health

if you have occasion
to speak to my husband.

- He doesn't know
why you're selling?

- I don't want him
to feel like

he has to come
and take care of me, you know.

He was unhappy.
He should be happy.

I think he's even found
someone new.

He deserves a new life.

- And how about you?

- Mm, we'll see.
[chuckles]

- Wow. I'm impressed
by how nice and civilized

and modern you are.

- Oh, no. I am totally
old-fashioned.

I follow my heart.
- Oh.

- Which is why I hope
you make an offer.

I have a good feeling
about you.

- Mm.

- So go, look around.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Okay, great.

- [giggles]

- Hey.
- Hi.

- I'm so glad you're free
for dinner tonight.

- [sighs]
Why, are you starving?

- No, I just feel like
we should be together.

- I know.

You feeling okay?
- Yeah, I am.

The sedation wore off
like they said it would.

It's just so wild to think
that sometime soon,

some of your sperm are
going to meet some of my eggs.

- I know. I know.
I hope they hit it off.

- Oh, of course they will.

I just wish we could be
part of it.

So where should we go
for dinner?

- We're not going to dinner.

- I really can't allow you
in a sterile environment.

- Yeah, we know it's sterile.
That's why we're gowning up.

- Still, without
a doctor's approval, I just--

- Look, I'm the administrator

visiting one of
my hospital's departments

in order to better understand
their needs

and to determine their future
budget allocations, so...

- Let's get started.
- Okay.

- Nice.

- I've identified seven
of the most robust sperm,

the first of which I will
now inject directly

into the center of an egg.

- There he is.

- Yeah.
- You can see him.

Oh, did--just gonna...

both: Wow.

[both chuckle]

- Felicity?
Are you home?

- Hank, I'm here.

I'm sorry.
Did you ring?

- Uh, yeah, I did.

Are you okay?
- Oh, I'm a little warm.

My knee is acting up,

but if that contract even comes
close to my asking price,

I think I'll recover.

- [chuckles] May I feel?
- Sure.

- Oh. Would you mind
a quick exam?

- Mm-mm.

- Okay.

That should ease the pain.

I'll have the lab run tests
on this fluid,

but I'm a little puzzled.

Fever is not a hallmark of RA.

Have you had
any other symptoms?

- Uh, a little fatigue,
nausea.

- And the swollen lymph nodes.

- Oh, yeah, and a rash
on my legs.

I'm falling apart.

- Hmm. Tell me more
about your diagnosis.

You said you're still
at an early stage?

- Yeah, as my GP explained,
it was a diagnosis of exclusion

and too early for the factor
to be detected in my blood.

- Okay, let's have a look.

Um, can you feel that?

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.

Now with your eyes closed.

- But everything else
was ruled out,

and since my granny had RA,
it seems the likely culprit.

- Yeah, except that,
like you said,

there's a lot
science doesn't know,

and while there can be
a genetic propensity,

RA isn't considered
hereditary.

You have some decreased
sensation in your lower legs.

How's your appetite?

- Mm.
- Okay.

Did your joint pain begin
around the time

you started woodworking?

- Yes.
Why does that matter?

- Your fever might be
the sign of a simple infection,

but in an old house like this,
there could be toxins

that might account
for your fever,

as well as your joint pain
and neuropathy.

- Like what?
- Arsenic maybe.

It was used
in the past to treat wood.

- So are you telling me

that I don't have
rheumatoid arthritis

or that I do have it
and some other disease?

- Let's find out.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- And good.

That brings us to a bit
of housekeeping

before I turn the meeting over.

If--

Ah, Hank.

So glad you could join us.

- Sorry.

- As I was saying,

as Mr. Lawson, Evan R,

has now admirably completed
six months as administrator,

it seems prudent to move that he
be assigned my proxy vote

in the event of my absence.

Any objections?

- Motion carries.
- Excellent.

I'll turn the meeting over,
as I have other obligations.

- I have a question.

- Perhaps Mr. Lawson
can address them.

- It's a question for you.

Is KJR Pharmaceuticals
conducting a Phase One trial

of my virosome on patients
in Latvia?

- That is not a matter
for the board to consider.

- Well, if research generated by
our Rare and Orphan Diseases Lab

is being improperly rushed
forward without the knowledge

of the lead investigator
into a third-world environment

in order to skirt
safety regulations,

then the board
should be made aware.

- And if that were the case,
Dr. Sacani,

such discussion
would be merited.

Since it is not--

- Are you denying
that my virosome research

is the basis for a trial
in Eastern Europe?

Because I made some calls--
- The trial was accelerated

for reasons inappropriate
to discuss here.

There are factors
of which you are not aware.

- There are factors
of which you are not aware,

such as a basic understanding
of microbiology

and the potential cataclysmic
immunological response

engendered by
the invasive presence

of an untested virosome
in a human environment.

[door slams]

- Well...
[stammering]

[door closes]

Meeting adjourned.

.

- You know, I've been
sitting here thinking

about how much we all take
for granted.

- You mean family.

- No, I was thinking
about the ability to urinate.

- Oh.
- Yes, family.

- Come here.

[thermometer beeping]

You're doing a lot better.
Lean forward.

- Can I tell you--last night
was the first time

I could sleep lying flat.

- Deep breath in and out.

Yep, that's your repaired
heart valve. Again.

See, you don't have fluid
pooling in your lungs anymore.

- Yeah. That's not the only
thing clear, I'll tell you.

- You mean your conscience.

- No, again,
I was talking urination.

Yes, my conscience.

I saw Newberg this morning.

- And how'd that go?

- Oh, she gave me
quite a tongue-lashing.

- Please be a metaphor.

- Then I had to get
on my knees.

- Oh, God.

- She rode me pretty hard.
- Uh-huh.

- Nearly came to blows.
- Dad.

- But once she took
the whole thing in...

- Right.

- I was forgiven.
- Ah, good.

- She was pretty satisfied.
- Okay, Dad, I get the picture.

How about the wedding?

- Oh, it's back on, except now
we want to do it "her way."

- With a bride and a groom?

- Oh, no, much more
of a spectacle--

fountains and white tigers
and fireworks,

all the important things.

- [laughs]
I can't wait.

- Yeah, me either.

Now all I got to do is clear
things up with Evan and Paige.

- Uh-huh.

Uh, Dad, they--they have a lot
going on right now, you know.

- Oh, right now
I'm taking a nap.

- Oh, good.

- But you think it's possible

that I can square it
with Evan and Paige, right?

- Yeah, if you find
the right moment.

What you don't want to do is
just show up without warning.

- No.
- But you'll figure it out.

You always do.
- Thank you.

- Okay.

- So you believe the trial
of your virosome

is being conducted
in Eastern Europe

in order to avoid
FDA regulations?

- Yes.

- I can assure you
it is not, Doctor.

The trial parameters conform
fully to FDA standards

for an IND application.

- Then why exclude me?
And why Latvia? Why the rush?

- Would those be
your only questions?

- No, I have a few more.

- Yes, and that is why
I excluded you.

With my company for sale,
there was no time for debate.

- You're selling
KJR Pharmaceuticals?

- Indeed. Privately.

So, please, keep
the information confidential.

- Okay, but I still have--

- If I were to sell with
no Phase One trial completed,

the purchaser would be acquiring
only your research.

A clinical trial
takes care of that.

It gives KJR
a tangible product

and you quite
a handsome royalty.

- Yes, but you excluded me.

And I have no need
for greater personal wealth.

- Jeremiah, the benefits
in this case for you

would not only be financial.

Should your virosome
prove successful,

your name will be placed

alongside some
of the great names--

Ehrlich, Pasteur.

- As flattering
as that would be,

my work isn't about
my reputation either.

- What is it about, then?

- Advancing the human condition
through scientific knowledge.

- Your perspective
is admirable.

I hope whoever acquires
my company

recognizes the asset
they have in you...

assuming, that is,
you wish to remain.

- Hey, Evan, I have--

Are you okay?

- Yeah. Yeah, come in.

Sorry. Hank's just updating me
on Dad's condition.

- And?

- He will live
to exasperate another day.

- Well, that's a relief.

- Yeah. Yeah, it is.

What's up with you?

- Well, I saw the embryologist,
and five are developing.

- Five eggs?
- Five embryos.

- But we started with seven.
What happened?

Well, some of them
didn't progress normally,

but it's expected.

- Oh. Well, great.
I'm sure they'll catch up.

I had to repeat kindergarten,
so I understand.

- This is a little different.

This is like if seven yous
got sent to kindergarten

because they knew most of you
wouldn't survive it.

- I know. You're saying
they can't all be winners.

- Yeah, and we wouldn't
want them to be.

- Right. Or else we'd have
seven kids and a reality show.

- And we do not need that.
We are busy.

- Yeah.

I just want two.

- Two would be good.

- I hope some
of them make it.

- Don't worry.
It's just kindergarten.

- Hmm.

- Are you working
or house hunting?

- Both sort of.

Um, I think I found
the perfect place.

You want to see it?
- Yeah.

- Okay.

Check it out.

- Ooh, look at you Zillowing.

- That's right.
- [chuckles]

Oh, it's gorgeous.

- It may be a little big
for me at the moment,

but I could see myself settling
there and growing into it.

- Okay, so why were you making
your angry face when I came in?

- My angry face?
- Yeah.

Mm.

- That's not my angry face.
That's my thinking face.

- Ah.
If you say so.

- The owner is selling because
she's got rheumatoid arthritis,

or so she thinks.

- Oh, now I see where
we're going with this.

What are her symptoms?

- Debilitating pain in multiple
large joints, fatigue, fever,

and a mild maculopapular rash
on her legs.

- What are her glucose levels?
- Normal.

- So it's not diabetes-related.
How about gout?

- Negative for gout.
- Lyme disease?

- Negative for that
and antinuclear antibodies

and rheumatoid factor.

- Memingococcemia?
Parvovirus?

- She's not that sick, and
all of her cultures are normal.

I even tested
for arsenic poisoning.

- Mm, so it could be anything,
except right now it's nothing.

- Exactly.

Wait a second.
Say that again.

- Uh, it could be anything,
except right now it's nothing.

- Oh, my God.
The Great Imitator.

- Ah.

- [sighs] Felicity...
- Yeah.

- I don't think
you have RA.

- Okay. Why?

- Well, I'm still waiting on
some tests to confirm my hunch,

but can I see your palms?

Okay, good. No rash.

Um, how about
the soles of your feet?

- [laughs]

- Please.

Yep. There it is.

Are you sexually active?

- No.
- Okay.

- Not since I split
with my husband.

- And was he
your only recent partner?

- He was my only partner ever.

- Oh.

- I told you
I was old-fashioned. Why?

- Because your rash suggests
you might also have

a very old-fashioned disease...

syphilis.

- Oh.

.

- That's great news.
- Did you hear what I just said?

- That Raj got the job
in Baltimore.

- But she's still wait-listed.

- Which means we'll be
moving to Baltimore

whether I get
into Johns Hopkins or not.

- Oh, that's fine.

If you don't get in, you can
just reapply, like Rudy.

- Who's Rudy?

- Rudy Ruettiger.
They made a movie about him.

You've never seen "Rudy"?

Okay, so this guy wanted to play
football for Notre Dame so badly

that he moved there,
worked as a groundskeeper,

and kept applying
till he got in.

- After how long?

- Four years.
- Terrific.

- It will not take you
that long.

Any day now, you could
hear good news.

- Actually, so could we.

- Really?
IVF is moving forward?

- We could have embryo transfer
as early as tomorrow.

At last count, there were still
three developing blastocysts.

- Do we have to call them that?
It makes them sound dangerous.

- Good morning.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Hello, there.

So...
- How'd it go?

- How did what go?

- Did you apologize to Boris?

I'm assuming
you fell on his mercy

since you still have
all your appendages.

- Actually, we both recognized
that apologies were unnecessary.

- Well, I'm relieved at least
that you didn't lose your job.

- No, I didn't,
um, but...

I may be starting my own lab.

- Oh.
- What?

- Yeah, I've been
contemplating it.

- That's huge.

Does that mean
you'll leave HankMed?

- No, I think patient contact
is good for me.

- Wow.

Your own lab--
that sounds impressive.

- And expensive.

- Well, I may be coming in
to some money,

but I can't discuss it now.

- It sounds like everyone
has changes on the horizon.

Paige and Evan--they're hoping
for an embryo transfer.

Oh, and I may be working
as a groundskeeper.

- Sorry.
A groundskeeper?

- We should really go out
and celebrate tonight.

Tomorrow
you could be joining Divs

in the sparkling-cider club.

- So we should stay in
and celebrate.

- No, we should--
- [laughs]

- [laughs]
I don't get it.

- They're sharing an innuendo
based on the fact

that after the viable embryos
are implanted tomorrow,

you'll have to avoid the
uterine spasms caused by coitus.

- It's your last night
to have sex with your wife.

- Right.

We should stay in.
- Mm-hmm.

[giggles]

- And here it is.
- Oh.

So this one injection
will cure all my symptoms?

- Yes, it will.

- Even my gullibility
and my chronic naiveté?

- I would never cure someone

of her most endearing
characteristics.

You're going to feel a pinch
and then a burning.

- Okay.

- Okay, here's the pinch,
and now it's going to burn.

- [inhales sharply]

- Okay, all done.
- Ow.

- You just hold on to that.

So you'll need follow-up testing
at 3, 6, and 12 months

to confirm that the syphilis
has been completely eradicated.

- Plenty of time for me to
reassess my happy marriage.

- You spoke to your husband?

- He admitted
to quite a history.

He wanted to give
a full confession,

but at a certain point,
I had to just hang up.

- Hey, you're busy.
You got a new life to start.

- And my divorce lawyer
was on hold.

It's gonna take some time,

but I'm starting to realize
that this curveball

has a silver lining.

- That is one
very special curveball.

- [chuckles] I have my health,
and I have my home.

- Yeah, rub it in.

- I'm sorry it's not
for sale any longer.

- Well, I can't think of anyone
I'd rather lose a house to.

- [chuckles]

- Yep, turns out house hunting
is as challenging as dating.

- Well, I hope not.

I don't want my son
to be single and homeless.

- I'll try to avoid that
for your sake,

but, yeah,
houses are tricky.

I was so sure
this one was meant to be.

- You should have seen--

first time we saw
the Passaic house,

it needed a lot of work.

Your mother walked in, fell in
love with the potbelly stove.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember
how much she loved that thing.

- Her eyes lit up like it
was Christmas, and I thought,

"Okay, yes, this is the place
to bring up our sons."

- Right.

- Now it stands empty,

reminding me of everything
I didn't live up to.

- Dad...maybe it's time
to sell that house.

- Hmm.
- Let it go.

- Henry!
[door closes]

You here?

- Evan!
Hey, what a surprise.

- I drop by like this
all the time.

- I know.
No, I know.

I just thought you and Paige

would be otherwise occupied
tonight.

Isn't tomorrow
another big day?

- It is, yeah.
She turned in early, though.

I guess I was restless.

Um, thank you so much for
texting all those Dad updates

I said I did not want.

- Oh, well, I just thought
you might be curious.

And if you are--

- That last one
was a joke, right--

that he and Ms. Newberg
are planning another wedding?

- Not a joke, and Ev--

- Oh, my God.
I can't believe him.

Is he even well enough
to do that?

- Sounds like
you're worried.

- He's my father.

Of course
I'm a little worried, but--

- Well, that's nice to hear.

- This you didn't text?

- Look, Dad still needs
to be under observation,

but his infection
is clearing up,

and his heart valve
is in better shape than ever.

- That's good.

So there's nothing
physically wrong with his heart.

- Ev--
- No, no, no, no.

He's right. I had
a major dishonesty relapse.

Evan, I am ashamed.

I'm ashamed that I let
the old me burst through.

- Pretty sure the old you
is the only you, Dad.

- Okay, look, this time Dad
was trying to not be a flake,

not to mislead us.

- Except I handled it badly,

and I shouldn't have
left you out.

- But it won't happen
again, right?

- I promise, never.

- Well...

uh, mazel tov
on your wedding.

- Thank you.

- But, uh, as far as
believing your promises,

Paige and I are trying to start
our own family right now,

and when we do,
my first promise will be

to never let you near enough

to hurt or disappoint
our child.

- Are you gonna cut me
out of your family?

- He's not saying that.
Evan...

tell Dad
you're not saying that.

- I'm not cutting you out.

That's--that's your move.

Paige and I will come
to your wedding.

We will wish you well,

but make no mistake--

my first job as a parent will be
protecting my family from you.

[door closes]

.

- So we have been
monitoring the eggs

which were successfully
fertilized,

and it gives me great pleasure
to inform you

that one has developed
into a blastocyst.

- A potentially viable embryo.

- Yeah, I know. Just one?

That means all our eggs
are in one basket.

- Not until I put it there.

- Yeah, but one
is all it takes.

- Oh, okay.

- So are you ready
to make the transfer?

- Absolutely.

I mean, are you ready?

- Yes. Yes.
- Then, yes, we're ready.

Just don't go anywhere.

♪

- Good morning, Hank.
- Good morning.

You have a moment?

- I do.

But first, I should tell you
Dr. Sacani and I

have spoken about what occurred
at the board meeting.

- Ah, good to know, but I'd
actually already heard.

So I gather
you're making some changes.

- I expressly told Jeremiah
not to discuss the sale of KJR.

- And he didn't.

I was talking about giving
your proxy to Evan,

but now you've added
to my curiosity.

- Yeah, such is your nature.

- Giving Evan your vote,
selling a major asset...

Boris, are you going
somewhere?

Is it because of the people
after your DNA?

- I appreciate
the concern, Hank,

but all is well.

Should that change,
I will alert you.

- Okay, so you are
going somewhere.
