Original subtitles

Listen, girl's gotta keep options open for when Mr. Perfect comes along, okay?

Retract her.

Honey, you need a little less Mr. Perfect and a little more Mr. Good

while you can.

You ain't gonna stay that pretty forever.

Of course you will.

Thank you, Dr. Benson.

Find any good matches?

What are you doing here?

Well, I went by your place, but they said you'd move.

Are you trying to avoid me?

You went by my place?

That is not okay.

Are you following me?

Well, you already have 5 ,000 followers.

What's one more?

Spencer, I'm... Sorry I ghosted you.

But I've already told you I'm not interested. I just wanted... I just

wanted to give you this.

It's a lily.

It's all my lily.

I don't want your flower.

If you don't leave me alone, I'm calling the police. Okay?

Hey, man, I think you're in my spot.

You must be Jason.

Do I know you?

My apologies.

I seem to have interrupted an evening.

It's good to see you again, Lily.

He was nobody.

I went on a date with someone.

One too many.

Are you okay?

We can go somewhere else.

No, no, no, no.

Fine. You know what?

I suddenly got a craving for pizza.

How good did 3P Luke Warren's delivery sound right now?

Yeah?

Yeah.

Let's get out of here.

There you go.

Yeah.

It's okay.

Some dudes just don't take rejection well.

Doesn't mean anything.

Can't blame the guy. I'd be doing whatever I could, too.

You would.

As long as I'm around, you don't got anything to worry about, okay?

Which is pretty much why you should always keep me around.

Let's not let some weirdo ruin our night.

What weirdo?

Pizza guy.

Yeah.

You know I used to play football, right? Yeah, I'll remember that when the next

dogger shows up in shoulder pads.

Hang on.

Fifteen. Even?

Thank you. No.

Thank you.

That's not how it's supposed to be.

You have to forgive me.

Please tell me that you're going to forgive me.

I didn't forget you.

I thought they would call me.

You don't believe that we are?

We're so mad.

We're so mad.

I just... I wanted to do this.

Now, the truth is not to accept the gift.

It's Lily.

From my Lily.

Lily.

If I can't have you, then no one will.

You choose.

I really think something's off with my meds.

Have you been seeing him?

Not so much, basically.

No, but I still feel like he's around every corner.

I know that's impossible, but I read that you can build up a

resistance to medications after a while, so I think that might be what's

happening here. Your meds are fine, Lily.

PTSD doesn't just go away.

It's going to take time to adjust.

A new city, new surroundings.

Have you talked to anyone?

I haven't talked to you.

I mean, have you made a connection with anyone about anything?

It's understandable to avoid relationships, but it's also a key to

Lily. Stella.

I don't follow.

I changed my name since.

I'd like to go by Stella.

What is this about?

I think it's about starting over.

Well, then have you thought about returning to work, starting a new

don't think I'm ready for that.

What if I have an episode or work? What if, you know, someone gets hurt? I have

surgery soon.

I don't feel... Think of your name and that scar

as a reminder that you are in treatment and have emotional work to do.

Removing them before that work is complete could be detrimental.

Perhaps if you could postpone surgery a little longer.

No, there's no way.

You don't know what it's like to walk around like this.

The way people look at me, the way they avoid looking at me, I need this gone.

Just understand the lady. Stella.

Understand that removing the evidence won't remove the incident.

Miss Gordon?

Stella?

Stella Gordon?

Sorry, yeah, this is me. Hi, Joyce Mieser, physician's assistant.

Nice to meet you.

There's no need to be nervous. It's just a consultation.

Okay.

I still am.

Thank you.

Dr. Marlin and Dr. Caden are two of the best in the country. They'll explain

everything to you. Oh, great.

Great.

So just take a seat right here and we'll be right with you. Oh, great.

Thank you. You're in great hands.

Thank you.

Hi, Stella.

Dr. Marlowe.

How are you? Good.

She's beautiful.

Oh, yeah.

Yes, she is.

Can I get you to just glide over here?

Yeah, yeah.

All right.

First thing is first.

I'm sorry.

Just tilt into the light.

Well, the good news is I can help you.

What you have here is called a hypertrophic scar. Yeah, I know.

How did it happen?

Would you mind if I took some photos before and after?

This must be Stella.

Stella, this is Dr. Caden, my partner. He's here to give you a second opinion.

We're just going through Stella's options.

Well, right off the bat, we could try a catalog injection.

Or a laser resurfacing. I'm not interested in any of that.

Okay.

We could go with microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion won't cut it on account of the fibroblast. I want it

surgically excised.

Someone's done their homework.

WebMD?

Physician's assistant.

Well, I was.

I did some work in plastics, too, so... Well, you know, just enough to be

dangerous.

Stella, as you know, surgery is more invasive and risky.

The tissue could reform or even worsen. Great.

Not to mention costly.

Well, so crazy, but not stupid.

Basically.

So, yes.

Are you sure you don't want to... Dr. Merlin, I came here for you. I took out

loan for you because you're the best. So can you remove it to your standards or

not?

Yes.

I believe I can.

Then I've never been more sure of anything else in my life.

and get in here. I'm Danny, the building manager.

I have a key.

I made an appointment.

Sent you an email.

Did you ever hear of knocking?

Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just here to fix a leaky thing.

And do some drywall, too, I guess. Okay, yeah.

Sorry about that.

I'm pretty sure that was already there. Otherwise, I'd have to take it out of

your security deposit.

That's really nice of you.

That's because I'm a really nice guy.

You see what I did? Yeah, it wasn't bad.

Anyways, how about I come back when you are unarmed and I will take a look

at that sink?

I'd really appreciate that.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

Next time you might want to choke up on that bat.

All right, Stella, just relax, okay?

Um, make sure to pump me with my dad's lamb just in case I wake up.

I don't want to remember a thing.

Good stuff, Doc.

Post -op, I'd like to see you regularly.

Me too.

For follow -ups.

What? You're going to take a nice, warm trip to sunny Hawaii.

Oh, yeah.

Now, if you'll start from ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Don't worry. I'll take care of you.

Lily.

So how do you feel?

That depends.

How do I look?

The swelling has subsided nicely.

The wound should be well approximated.

Well, let's see what we got.

You ready?

As I'll ever be.

Uh, excuse me.

Trying to rob us of the best part of the job?

Joyce, what's happening? Are you limping?

Oh, my ACL's been acting up recently. A little track injury.

I'm actually going under the knife next week, and I'm nervous as hell.

Not as much fun on that side of the bed.

Oh, well, the surgery's going to be a piece of cake. I'm scared to death to

leave these two alone for a few weeks.

So, shall we get to it?

Okay, Stella, just relax.

What's wrong? How did it look?

Flawless.

A little foundation will cover that right up, and the redness will fade over

time.

Okay, Michael, you might just be the best after all.

Crazy, but not stupid.

I feel like you're family.

About that. We were wondering if you'd like to join ours.

I'm sorry?

We're in need of a PA to fill in for Joyce while she's out for surgery.

We think you'd be a perfect fit, as long as you're interested.

I'd be very interested.

He was there. He was outside my window. I mean, I know that's not possible. I

know Spencer's dead. I know that.

But this didn't feel like the other flashbacks. He was there and new

surroundings. I knew I shouldn't have taken that job. Calm down.

Let's do our breathing.

Into the nose.

Out through the mouth.

In the nose.

Good. Again.

Self -soothing is a tool.

We need to remember our coping tools so we can process our emotions with a clear

mind.

Now you say you've gotten a job.

I start Monday.

But I don't think I'm ready. This is an amazing step in the right direction.

What if it happens at work?

My vision. Then you do the work we're doing here.

The work you're doing now. I need more than just breathing.

Look, I'm sorry, I...

I'm

writing you a script for a spare down.

This is not a permanent fix, but it will address the paranoid delusion.

Removing that scar is what triggered this regression, not the prospect of a

But we'll get through this.

one step at a time. People do their deepest work in a state of calm, so

get you there first, okay?

So no more visions.

That's the plan.

Now I'll get you lots of free coffee outside the building.

Hi. Welcome.

Thanks. How do you feel? Feels good to be back in the scrub.

Good.

Hi,

Abby. Nice to see you again.

Caleoplasty? Yes.

And Abby was the bravest patient I've ever had. Now, what are we going to say

that cleft lip?

You're out of here.

She's a little nervous.

Okay. You know, Abby, I had a scar on my face not too long ago.

People would stare and they mean things.

But then I met Dr. Marlin.

Voila.

And when you go back to school, all the kids are going to wonder, where did Abby

go?

Because when you walk through that door, they won't even know it's you.

Thank you so much.

My pleasure.

And the records are color -coordinated. I'm very particular about that, so make

sure they stay that way.

May I suggest cutting back the scalpel order?

Absolutely not.

I don't know what it's like in Ohio or whatever, but that's a key instrument in

the OR.

Yes, it's always on standby, but when was the last time you actually called

an 11 -blade for facial surgery?

I can't remember calling for one in some time, actually.

All right, reduce the order as you see fit.

Okay.

Hey, what are you up to tonight?

I have some unpacking to do.

Oh, yeah.

Cool.

I'm packing.

Sounds fun.

Take it easy.

Damn it, Danny.

Do you ever check your email? I'm in another appointment.

What is your deal?

Me? Every time I come over to help, you're trying to kill me.

I'm sorry.

No, no, no. I get it. Anyway, your first murder attempt is on my to -do list.

Baseball bat, hole in the wall.

But for now, smoke detectors.

May I?

Yeah.

It looked good, by the way.

I mean, not that it didn't before.

Does it even matter what I think anymore?

Well, if you're going to do it anyway, then why even bring it up? What do you

want me to say?

I'm going to have to call you back on that.

Okay.

Stella, what's up?

I was wondering if you could take down the before and after pictures online.

The surgery waiver that you signed gave us permission, but if you're

uncomfortable... I am.

Thank you.

Okay. I just... Like my privacy.

Yeah, yeah. Consider it done.

Hey, um, you were, uh, really great yesterday with Abby.

You were an inspiration, honestly.

You changed her life, changed mine.

I'm just happy to have a front row seat to what you do. It's, um, pretty

incredible. If you really want to see what I do, you've got to meet this guy.

Come on.

How you doing, Joshua?

This is Stella. She's my new PA. She's going to be helping me out for the next

few weeks.

Joshua has a lot to say, but he's got third -degree burns and a jaw wrap to

prevent from tearing, so he can't speak.

But we're going to fix all that, right, Joshua?

Thanks to meet you too, Joshua.

We're going to have to regraft his face in stages.

Stella's going to be conducting follow -ups and keeping track of all your

progress. Now, as you can see here, he's got severe third -degree burns from his

corrugator down to his masseter, resulting in extensive scar tissues.

So we're going to have to continue with this process.

Dr. Marlin, I'm going to have to excuse myself.

What are you doing in here?

Nothing. I just wasn't feeling very well. Sorry.

What, all right?

I'm on the other side of town.

Don't be silly. Get in.

So you said you did a stint in plastic.

You, uh...

There's been many burn cases before?

Yeah.

Actually, I'm sorry about earlier.

I don't know what happened. I just... Yeah, I was gonna say.

Sorry.

So, how long have you guys been married?

A long time.

High school sweethearts.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, it will be.

Well, Dr. Marlin, I... I wanted to thank you.

You already have.

And please, call me Michael, because the doctor's name is... Michael.

Except this time, I wanted to thank you for the gig.

Honestly, Stella, Joyce has been with us since the beginning.

So you got some pretty big shoes to sell.

But from what I think so far, I think you're going to kill him.

Oh, and any chance Joyce decides to retire soon or something? Well, I'll

certainly know who to call if that happens.

It's me, right?

What are you doing?

What's going on out there?

Joyce, uh... She's gone.

What do you mean she's gone?

There was a problem with her medication.

She passed away last night at the hospital.

Oh, my God.

much you meant here yeah if you need any anything uh

i don't know what your plans are but um you're doing a really good job and

we're gonna need to permanently fill the position so michael really maybe we

should take some time to think it over yeah yeah of course but if you end up

needing someone i don't need time to think I'd love to help.

Great. Stella,

would you excuse us?

Yeah, of course.

Thank you, Michael.

Both of you.

Thank you,

Michael.

A little casual, aren't we?

And what happened to making hiring decisions together?

Don't you like her?

I don't know her.

We need to keep everything afloat while we figure this all out. Stella is great.

The patients love her. She hit the ground running. Yeah, with a mouthful of

pills.

She's a pauper.

What?

I'm serious.

I saw her in the supply room yesterday, crashing hard.

They were probably uppers. Who knows where she got them? I haven't done

inventory. Oh, what? So now she's Nurse Jackie? Brandon, please don't do this.

Not right now. What, vet her?

No, blow everything up all at once.

You like this girl.

You like her.

You don't even know her. Then we'll get to know her.

Wow, these walls can talk.

Um, I wasn't really that close to her.

I'm new.

Blood pressure's a little high, but I can give you a CTP for that.

How's the pain?

I do.

It's supposed to be temporary, but looks like you and I will be seeing a lot

more of each other.

So save that.

I know you're laughing next time.

Dr. Kaden, um, excuse me.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah, yeah.

Might as well call me Brandon.

Some of us are attending a service for Joyce tonight, and afterwards the whole

team's meeting for drinks at Joe's. Some trauma team -building thing.

You should come.

Yeah, um, yeah, I'll be there.

Let's get you out of here.

Hey, nice outfit, doc.

Physician's assistant, actually.

Hey, what are you doing?

Well, the damn carburetor float is stuck.

The float helped regulate the fuel. You can start by removing the fuel line from

the carburetor and then plug it.

So it doesn't leak.

You know about cars?

Enough to be dangerous.

Hey, guys.

Hi.

Here, sit. Oh, thanks.

Oh, how did it go?

I think it was a really nice service.

Oh, good.

You look lovely, by the way.

Can I get you a drink?

Stella for Stella?

Perhaps you'd prefer something stronger.

Uh, a club soda with wine?

What?

We're celebrating a life here.

Brandon.

Okay, okay.

One never hurt anyone.

And a girl.

Thank you for coming.

Okay, so then the plastic surgeon asks the old woman, what issue are you

with? And she says,

gravity!

Joke never gets funny.

Now listen, I wanted to ask you.

Yeah, go ahead.

Who's Spencer?

No, I didn't mean... It's just that you called me.

Spencer, while you were under drug surgery, I just thought you might be

boyfriend or something.

Oh.

No, I'm single.

Room for one more?

You came. I thought you were at book club.

Telling you, honey, I am done with those ladies.

I just want to have a little glass of rosé, but they all want to get drunk and

talk about their husbands.

Aren't you adorable?

Michael? Oh, sorry.

Claire, this is Stella, our new PA. She's replacing Joyce.

Terrible.

I mean, what happened to Joyce? Not you, honey.

It's really nice to meet you, Claire. I've heard a lot about you.

Have you?

Wow, it's the first I've heard about you.

But then again, I'd keep you all to myself if I were him, too.

See one of yours?

What?

He is a master of discretion. I will give him that.

But I can see it all over your face.

You have that look. The one that says, you changed me, Dr. Marlin, from the

outside in.

I mean, we all have it for him. That's why I married him.

After all, I'm not just the wife.

I'm also a...

Client?

You'd never know.

I would know.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I just need some fresh air.

Hey.

Okay.

What happened?

Put this on.

What happened?

What happened?

What happened?

I'm not well.

I'm not well.

Is she okay?

I don't know.

I got too much surgery.

Maybe I should take you home, huh? You stay with Claire.

Yeah, that's probably a good idea.

You going to be okay?

Going in. Got it.

What do you want?

Nothing.

Yeah, your pupils are dilated.

You sure you don't want to lie to me?

I saw you popping pills the other day in the bathroom.

Yeah, conveniently, no medications are listed on your surgery records.

What, you checking up on me?

When there's cause for concern.

My inventory intact.

I'm on risperidone for PTSD.

Prescribed.

You can't drink on that shit still. Yeah, I tried not to.

Whoa, whoa, okay.

Okay, we should get you to the hospital.

No, I'm fine and I'll pass.

Look, my place is around the corner.

Why don't we at least go back there and I can give you a bag to flush you out.

Okay.

This will help straighten you out.

I'll get you some water.

Infinity. Stella, clear today's schedule and meet me at Cedars ER.

Wait, why? What's happening?

I'll explain when you get here.

Wait, Michael.

Michael, what's going on? No one's at the office.

Stella, come here.

What's happening?

Brandon was found beaten unconscious at his apartment last night.

He's in critical care now.

Oh, my God.

I need to know what happened between you two.

As do I.

I'm Officer Davis.

Dr. Marlin here mentioned the last time that he saw Brandon, he was leaving the

bar with you.

Yeah, we went back to his apartment.

You went to his place?

He was trying to help me. I drank too much.

Go on.

I don't know.

He wouldn't take out any water, the last thing I remember.

Can you please excuse us?

Am I in trouble?

I just want to get to the bottom of this.

Now we can talk a little more openly.

Did you have sexual relations with Dr. Caden? What? No.

No, I was lying on his couch. I felt dizzy and sick. He gave me something to

help.

And you say you can't remember anything after that. Right.

Do you want to report any kind of sexual assault? You might have been slipped

for hypno. That's not what I'm saying. This is just a misunderstanding.

I'm a licensed physician's assistant.

I know drugs.

That would pretty much make you an expert. Exactly. I take...

With Baradone for PTSD.

And I mixed with alcohol.

I wasn't roofied.

Forgive me, I'm trying to understand. Why drink on medication?

I'm new at the office. I didn't want to seem uptight.

It's a team building thing.

I understand you recently lost a member of your team.

Yeah. The previous PA choice.

The one you replaced.

Kind of a coincidence.

Everyone starts dropping like flies as soon as the noon girl arrives.

Look, I was hallucinating from mixing.

Brandon was trying to help me.

Next thing I know, I woke up in pajamas in my bed at home.

Did anyone have access to your place?

Boyfriend? No.

Well, the building manager has a key, but he's harmless.

Can you check on Spencer Morgan? He's a building manager?

He was my stalker.

Um, restraining order, the whole thing. He died.

He fell off a balcony.

That's why I decided to move here.

And legally change my name to start over.

Maybe... You think he's alive?

I know that's impossible.

Thank you for your time.

Don't say anything to Dr. Merlin. I don't want this to affect my job.

Let's get you home.

Lily? Lily?

Hey, I'm feeling kind of dizzy. I need to get pressure.

Feel better?

Yeah.

Who's that woman back there?

She called you Lily.

What woman? The woman. She seemed to know you.

I'm sorry. I didn't see anyone. I don't know.

Try to get some rest.

We've got Joshua's surgery first up tomorrow.

Yeah, I will.

It's gonna be okay.

It'll all work out. You know it.

Well, 50 % of my staff are either dead or hospitalized.

And according to the authorities, the other 25 % may or may not be

So forgive me if I'm not my chipper self, Stella.

I'm sorry.

I was out of line.

Damn it.

Thanks for the ride.

Hey, Stella.

Stella?

You okay?

Hey, Stella?

It's Joshua. He won't let me prep him for surgery.

What do you mean, he won't let you? He consented, but he keeps writing on that

pad. I don't know what he's saying.

Do you mind if I... Yeah, please. Be my guest.

Hey, Joshua.

How you feeling?

Always a charmer.

That's what you wanted.

I'm gonna be there the whole time, but Dr. Marlin, you're the best.

Okay? You'll be perfect.

And look.

See, you never know. I have a scarlet vibe of Texas right there.

Okay, good.

All right, let's work your magic, Dr. Marlin.

Let's put him under first. Just eat the pain and take a look off, please.

And I'm going to go scrub in. I'll take it from here.

What are you talking about? I just promised him. I need you managing

ER nurses at Cedars. I can't have another mishap like Joyce.

Yeah.

Update me if you get any news.

Oh, hey.

Thanks for this.

You're a natural.

Takes one to know one.

Take care of my guy.

Hey, how'd it go?

Just finishing the post -op report now.

Joshua should be ready for the second stage in a couple days.

Great. Any news on Brandon?

I requested a C -scan and confirmed a neurology, but he's still status quo.

Thank you.

Of course.

Oh, um, Claire stopped by while you were in surgery.

Everything okay?

No, actually, um, we've been on the rocks for some time.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't tell you that. That's not appropriate.

Hey.

Anything I can do to help.

I'm here for you.

See, that's the thing.

You've shown more compassion in the last few weeks than Claire has in years.

I mean, it wasn't always like that.

We were in love once.

But I found out a few months ago that she was having an affair.

I just thought that if we could get past it, if I could get past it, then... But

she's so convinced that I'm going to try to get back at her, that she's

become... Well, you see now, she's become... She hasn't exactly been

the warmest person to me, but... I can

understand.

Between... Joyce and Brandon and everything that's happening at home. I

feel like I'm gonna go crazy.

Honestly, Stella, you're the only person who's keeping this whole place

together.

It's Lily.

My name is Lily.

I had a stalker.

He killed my boyfriend. He tried to kill me, but he's dead.

You asked how I got my... Gar, and because of him.

Spencer.

My God, I'm... I'm sorry.

I moved here, and I changed my name to start over.

Sometimes I... I still see him... haunting me.

My therapist gave me medication, and I feel good.

Brandon thought you were stealing inventory.

I just didn't want to jeopardize my position here because this job,

working again, this, this is my therapy.

And you, you saved me.

Sign here.

Thank you.

Something wrong?

It's blank.

Who sent these?

They didn't give a name.

Stella. Did you send me these?

You shouldn't be here.

What, did it slip your mind, Michael? Keep your voice down.

I didn't send you those on account of the fact that I'm married, remember?

Let Claire know about me.

Did she know that I hate Lily?

That I need to talk to her. I need to talk to her. Take it easy.

I didn't tell her anything, which is why you showing up here is completely

unacceptable.

What do you think is happening here?

I don't know. I thought that maybe she... Maybe she sent me these to mess

me.

Claire might not be perfect, but she's not crazy.

You think I am?

I think you've been through a lot.

You're such a hypocrite.

I'm a hypocrite.

Oh yeah, you know exactly what I'm saying. I'm a hypocrite.

That's interesting.

Really? That's interesting. Do you want to tell me what those flowers were all

about?

You are so full of shit. Oh, stop it, please.

Answer me!

I still have a right to be angry.

You know something? You wanted this.

You wanted this.

So you don't have to feel guilty anymore. That is not true. Yes, it is.

Yes, it is. Because I've been trying, Claire.

You threw us away long ago.

I am so sick of living this way. How many times do I have to apologize? How

times have you slept with him? How about we start there?

What are you doing?

Those are my car keys, Claire. Don't take my car.

We are still married, remember?

Claire, just wait a second. Don't do this, please.

Claire, come on.

Oh, shit.

What are you doing?

Just get out of the car.

Claire.

Claire, stop it. Get out of the car.

Everything's going to be okay.

I got your car.

I don't care about the car.

Claire, I don't care about anything anymore. I just care about you.

I mean, you're still my wife, aren't you?

Can you, uh...

Can you remember anything?

Anything at all?

The gas pedal was stuck.

I couldn't stop. It kept going faster.

Sorry to intrude.

Claire, do you have any reason to believe someone might want to harm you?

No. Ever since you was hired, bad things have happened.

No, hold on. You're referring to Stella Gordon?

Yeah.

Think about it, Michael.

She's obsessed with him.

She came over to our place the other day with flowers, thinking they're in love.

She killed Joyce for her job.

And then Brandon.

And now me. It's okay, Claire.

Thank you.

Doctor? A word?

Your wife's theory?

It's interesting.

Look, the girl may have a crush on me, but she's not a killer. I just said it

was interesting.

You're sleeping with her.

Excuse me? Sometimes, I'm not saying this time, sometimes passion can cloud

judgment in situations like this.

It's okay.

I'll use the utmost discretion.

That's not necessary.

Claire already knows.

But that doesn't make Stella crazy or me stupid.

I happen to know that Stella's been through some serious shit.

Did she tell you about the stalker?

Yes.

Maybe there's a connection.

I'm looking into it.

In the meantime, keep me posted on her.

Hey, you.

What the hell are you doing here?

I'm just checking on Brandon. For the goodness of your heart.

Hey, look, Michael.

I'm sorry that I came to your house, okay?

I was scared.

I thought you'd understand and that we could... Look, I was stupid, okay? I

wasn't thinking.

So... I was wondering if maybe I can buy you an apology drink. Last

time we drank, my best friend ended up in a coma.

Lily.

Where were you last night? And be honest.

I was at home with my neighbor Danny.

Claire was in a car wreck last night. And my accelerator freaked out or

something. Is she okay?

No, she's not. She's in that room. She thinks she had something to do with it.

Me?

That's ridiculous.

Is it?

Because ever since you showed up, Stella, things have been falling apart.

I thought I was the one holding them together.

What happened between us?

It was a moment of weakness that can never happen again.

A weakness?

So her having an affair on you over and over? That kind of weakness, Michael?

Yeah, it was a mistake, just like us.

You really believe that?

I have to.

She's my wife.

Look, now, given your past situation, I want to be kind to you.

So if it's easier for you not to show up to work, I understand.

What are you saying?

No, I love the clinic. No, you can't take that away from me, Michael. Please.

Joshua's reveal tomorrow?

I need this.

I know.

And I want to help you.

If... Only if things between us can be strictly professional.

See you.

Danny Hart?

Yep. You here for the one bedroom?

How much is it?

$18 .50.

If you'd like, I can give you a tour.

Show you around.

What you working on here?

Uh, the whole thing, pretty much.

You got a few questions for Miss Stella Gordon?

Everything okay?

She live here?

Uh, right there.

What's this, uh, what's this regarding?

She keeps to herself mostly?

Yeah, when she's not swinging a bat at my head.

I'm kidding.

I'm kidding.

When we first met, she thought I was an intruder.

She's pretty great, actually.

You two together last night?

Yeah, we made some, you made some pasta.

Anything else?

Ate it.

Thank you for your time.

Morning, Dr. Marlin. Stella, glad you're here.

Here for Joshua.

Room four.

We'd like you to do the honors.

Hey, Joshua.

How are we feeling?

Excited.

Whoa, he can talk.

How's that for a recovery?

You know, I'm excited.

Thank you for everything.

Hey, hey, hey, it's okay. Take it easy. Just breathe.

In.

Okay.

Okay, baby steps before we turn to printing, okay?

Okay. Now let's get these bandages off you, right?

Now your face won't be fully healed yet, but we should start to see the new and

improved you.

Here. You seem happier.

More than before.

Do I?

Well, this really is the best part of the job.

That's why I helped you.

That's why I'm here.

Well, a patient's request of staff goes a long way, so... Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'd do anything to protect you.

What are you talking about, Joshua?

Why else would I do this?

To my own face.

When? If not to be near you.

My perfect Lily.

Look!

See how far it would go for you?

For us?

Shh. My perfect flower.

You've been bad. Playing doctor around the office.

But it's okay.

Because you fixed yourself for me.

And now I for you.

We are perfect again.

Infinite.

Flawless.

Soulmate.

Somebody help me!

Stella. He's in there. He's in there. Who? He's right there. Who?

Where's Joshua?

No, he... No, he... Joshua

is Spencer. He's alive and...

hallucinatory side effects, I think I should call someone.

Who prescribed these? No, stop it. I'm not crazy.

It was him.

Joshua. Spencer.

Please tell us about us.

Stella, there is no us.

You're in danger, Michael.

And Claire?

What about Claire?

The accelerator?

You said it was your car. She's driving your car. He was trying to get you,

Michael. He was trying to kill you just like he killed Jason. Just calm down.

I just need to breathe.

Look, you need to believe me.

He probably killed Joyce and attacked Brandon.

I'm sorry, but this is not working anymore.

I'm going to need your credentials.

I'm not lying to you, Michael.

We're not safe.

Dave advised me to file a restraining order against you. Please don't make me

that.

He won't.

This is Dr. Marlin with the Infinity Beauty Surgical Clinic calling for Dr.

Isaac about a shared patient we have by the name of Stella Gordon.

Try first name Lily.

Speak of the devil.

Where is he?

I don't know.

We did confirm a restraining order filed against Spencer Morgan by Lily Abrams.

Stella.

And according to this case file, your girlfriend... She's not my girlfriend.

She claimed that she killed Spencer in self -defense when he was in violation

this restraining order, said he fell from her balcony.

That's right.

Except in this intake report from the coroner's office, there was only one

logged that night.

Jason Dunn.

So what?

The stalker could still be out there?

It's possible. She's telling the truth.

Yeah.

Or? Well, the way I see it, there's no clear evidence of anyone present except

your girlfriend and her dead boyfriend.

So it's either a paperwork thing or one hell of a magic trick.

Jeez.

Go now, Danny!

She's been suffering for quite some time.

Hallucinations, paranoid delusions.

The police mentioned that there was only one body found that night. How is that

possible unless she's telling the truth and the guy is still out there?

I've adjusted her meds accordingly, but from what you're telling me, it sounds

like she's regressed substantially.

She thinks her stalker is one of my patients.

She tried to attack him.

It's starting to sound less like the paranoid delusions I've been treating

for. more like dissociative identity disorder.

The two are often confused.

Wait, I'm sorry, I'm not following you. Sometimes patients under great arrest

from PTSD suffer a mental fracture.

A split personality taking on the very persona of their attacker as a defense

mechanism to remain in control.

Okay, so what are you saying?

I'm saying if she's warning you of a danger, I'd consider her a threat.

You need to call the police immediately.

Hello?

Dr. Eisen?

Somebody there?

Stella?

Stella, please.

What's up, Doc?

Joshua. You can call me Spencer.

You're alive.

Looking fabulous, thanks to you.

Don't worry.

You can fix that.

Maybe not this time.

Don't hurt him.

I already told you. If I can't have you, then no one will.

Should have just accepted my flowers.

I wasn't talking to you, Spencer.

I was talking to him.

Hello, what are you doing?

Didn't you hear the man?

My name is Lily.

What other man is I've devoted?

What did you ever do for me other than leave me for your slut wife?

I tried to get rid of him, but she took his car. I'm sorry.

Wow, it's perfect.

So perfect.

Oh, he is good.

I'll give him that.

It's too bad.

Nothing worse than wasted talent.

Let me.

I need that, Spencer.

I didn't understand.

I wasn't ready for it before.

But now I am.

I need to end this once and for all so that you and I can be together.

Yes.

Let's do it together.

So nice.

You and me.

Perfect.

Flawless.

You bitch!

You're doing the paperwork now.

You'll be out of here in a bit.

How you feeling?

I'll have to pen.

How do I look, Doc?

Flawless.

You should be with your wife.

Fix your marriage.

Nobody's perfect.

Let me know what name you want to go with.

For payroll.

If you're still interested.
