Previously, on Doc.

Dr. Larsen was in
a car accident.

She has no recollection
of the last eight years.

You almost got
Jake and TJ killed,

because of the things
you didn't remember.

Your muscle was badly
torn up by the bullet.

You're lucky we
could save the leg.

If the board know
what you just did...

You put our
accreditation at risk.

Take your paternity leave now.

When you look at him,

all you see is the man who
you think let your son die.

You have no choice,
you have to leave him.

Would you maybe consider being
Chief of Internal Medicine

at the best hospital
in Minneapolis?

-So where ya headed?
-Pardon?

I saw you put in the
international terminal.

You flying somewhere fun?
-Mexico City.

Oh nice. Business or pleasure?

-Bit of both. I'm a chef.
-Oh.

-No better food scene.
-Ain't that the truth.

Good dancing, too. My wife
and I went there for our 30th.

You imagine me in
a salsa lesson?

Yeah, me neither.

But happy wife, happy
life.

You... you okay?

-I'm fine, just drive. Please.
-You sure you're okay?

I think I need a hospital.

-Anything?
-Nothing new.

So all you've got is
cake, wine, and flowers.

And Scotch.

Which Joan must
have been drinking.

I remembered her at the dinner.

She was telling me
to leave Michael.

And why am I hearing
about this now?

I'm sorry. It should have
been the first thing I said

when I got here this
morning, but I know how you

used to feel about her.
And I wanted to see

if the TMS would
shake something loose,

give me some context.

The context is, she
preferred the version of you

that didn't have a
life beyond medicine.

So... I told you
about this back then.

Nope. But I know how she thinks.

You really don't
trust her, do you?

Never did. Never will.

But I know she's done
some good things for you.

She championed me.

I never thought you needed that.

Right.

Same time tomorrow?

Depends. Still no side effects?

Little headache.
Nothing worrisome.

I had some memories.

Maybe I can remember me and us.

I know I can't ask you to wait.

Are you meditating
or short-circuiting?

Nah, I just... I didn't
get much sleep last night.

Well, buck up, soldier,
first day of basic training.

Yeah.

Let me get this straight.
You've had four days

to run blood work and
nothing to show for it.

Who are you, Elizabeth Holmes?

Wha... Yesterday would be
better but, sure, end of day.

Everything okay?

Oh, I just like to bust a
few balls the first day,

let people know
where they stand.

Okay, well, don't
let me skip the line.

That's not why you're here.

with Dr. Coleman

out a few more weeks, we
could use a new intern.

You're gonna interview them
and select the best candidate.

Wait, so you're giving
me hiring privileges?

Dr. Larsen and Dr. Miller
didn't let their Chief Resident

make decisions?
-Uh, no, no.

Not if they could help it.

Well, I believe in
empowering people.

They're all qualified. Figure
out which one has a soul.

Hi!

-Dr. Heller.
-Dr. Larsen.

So that's going well, huh?

You knew about us?
-Oh, you told me last year.

Oh! Per the HR briefing

I received yesterday, it
started up again post-accident?

It did. We're being in
a holding pattern now.

Well, the sequel
is never as good.

And how is it with
the TMS treatments?

Any more memories?

Just a few. Nothing
really of substance.

Ah. Well, keep me
posted on that.

So what do you think?

The decor is a work in
progress, but it beats

mosquito nets in Kenya.

Yeah, I see you added
some not-so-local flavour.

-I know.
-Well, um, don't get

too comfortable, because that's
my seat you're keeping warm.

I'm relieved the accident
didn't curb your ambition.

Can you tell me how
long is this gonna take?

I'm supposed to be on a plane.

Oh, well, uh, your
tests and labs indicate

drug-induced hepatitis, which
is why you were vomiting blood.

We'll treat you with
steroids, but I'm gonna need

to see your ALT and ASTs come
down before I can discharge you.

-Okay, so, like, a few hours?
-Could be.

First of all, I want to figure
out what medication caused this.

So, you are taking Cladribine,

Baclofen, and Interferon
BETA for your MS?

I don't take those anymore.
Too many side effects.

I prefer to manage my day-to-day
symptoms with traditional remedies.

Like, ginkgo for fatigue.

Kava for anxiety.

Some golden seal and tryptophan.

Yeah, low-dose herbals
usually don't cause this.

Are you sure there
isn't something else

that you've been taking?
-Okay.

So, I've been getting

experimental stem cell
injections in Mexico.

I think you buried the lede.

I know it's just...

that can't be
what's causing this.

I've been on the
protocol for 6 months.

I've never thrown up blood.

Well, sometimes the
reaction time can lag...

No! Okay?

These injections aren't hurting
me, they've saved my life.

Dr. Walker? can you consult
on a patient with MS?

Apparently, she found
a drug trial in Mexico

through an ad on social media.

Mm. Let me see her scans.

This medical tourism thing is...

Evolved quite a
bit in the 8 years

you don't remember.
You weren't a fan.

Yeah, it's everywhere. I
mean, I can't scroll my feed

without seeing a discount code
for IVF in the Czech Republic.

Or a plane full of men with
Turkish hair transplants.

My sister-in-law got her
Mommy Makeover in Sao Paulo.

Boob job, lipo, and
tummy tuck for four Gs.

What? That sounds
too good to be true.

Yeah, double-D's for four
Gs? I'm texting my ex.

Peter, you're a pig.

-What?
-Okay. I know I should be skeptical,

but her scans look great, right?

Plaques are regressing.

And there's much less active
disease than a year ago.

I mean, you're telling me
that this is putting her MS

into long-term remission?
-Looks that way.

Going home today, right?

PT says you're hitting
all your milestones.

Yeah, maybe they'll let me

graduate to the
10-pound weights.

Well, not with that attitude.

Sorry, it's just when
Dr. Agassi said it'd be a long

recovery, I don't think
I realized just how slow

it would feel.

No. I don't need help!

I need this hunk of garbage
to do its freacking job!

See? This guy gets it.

Well, his name is Kevin Cross.

He lost his leg in
Afghanistan 12 years ago.

Maybe you
should talk to him?

Why, 'cause we're both part
of the sad soldiers' club?

Well, I hate to break it to you,

but you got shot in a hospital.

Far as I can tell,
you're just a sad doctor.

Look, I can't even
help myself right now.

How am I supposed
to help that guy?

We're treating her hepatitis,

but her ALT's and AST's
are still sky high.

I'm trying to figure out
what drug caused this.

What can you tell me
about the treatment

you're doing in Mexico?

They're mesenchymal stem
cells. But we administer

intrathecally, so systemic
absorption is unlikely.

What about pretreatment meds?

A stat in,
amoxicillin-clavulanate,

ibuprofen. All standard doses.

Unless they weren't.
She's taking several

supplements, which could
disrupt her ability

to metabolize the drugs.
-Well, there's our problem.

When do you think she can fly?

-I'd say end of the week.
-That's not gonna work.

Claire's due for
an injection today.

If she doesn't receive
it in 24 hours,

I have to discontinue
her from the study.

But if she doesn't
get this treatment,

her disease will
come roaring back.

The trial adheres
to strict protocols.

If I violate that,
I lose my funding.

I'm sorry. I wish I
could make an exception,

but my hands are tied.
-Okay.

Dr. Wilson. Been a while.

Wow, looks like... an open
casting call out there.

Yeah. Um, well, I gotta admit,
I was surprised to see you here.

If memory serves,
last time we spoke,

you said you were too
triggered to work here.

For what it's worth, I don't
think it was the environment

I found challenging, so
much as the, uh, leadership.

But this new chief has
a great reputation,

and an impressive list
of publications, too.

Glad you approve.

No, I... it's just... I don't
think anyone would dispute

that Dr. Larsen
could be difficult.

Well, due to her injuries,
she's back to being

an intern again, so that means
you would be rounding with her

as a colleague.

Do you think that'd
be a problem for you?

Dr. Larsen, an intern again?

Have you ever heard of the term
"schadenfreude," Dr. Wilson?

Because I'm not really sure
that's a look we want here.

But it was good to see you
again, and I'll be sure

to send Dr. Larsen your regards.

-Hey, everything okay?
-Hi. Why are we whispering?

I don't want to
wake my new boss.

Oh, my gosh, you're on
paternity leave already.

Yeah, I, uh, I was
gonna wait a few weeks

but then decided to just strike

while the iron was hot.

Well, I'm sorry to bother you.

It's okay.
Don't be. What's going on?

I need a chartered med
flight to Mexico City.

And I thought diapers
were expensive.

What did Joan say?

Oh, um... I haven't
asked her yet.

I figured with
something this big,

I should go right to the top.

Joan holds the purse strings
now; let me patch her in.

Yeah, of course.

Michael.

Oh, okay.

Okay, we're all on.

We'll be paying with cash
or card for this med flight?

I get that this is
an aggressive ask,

but the patient is
a 37-year-old female

with relapsing remitting MS

and this is...

You wanna send Claire
Pinto on a four-hour flight

with active hepatitis?

We've fixed her diathesis
issues, and she is a participat

in an experimental stem
cell therapy and...

You want to fly her to Mexico
for experimental treatments?

I get that it's unusual, but
this doctor is the real deal.

Trained at Hopkins.
Awarded an R01 from the NIH

but moved his trials to Mexico.

You're talking about Rodriguez?

Oh, you know him?

Oh, brilliant mind.
Unconventional in the best way,

but his treatments
flaunt the FDA

and would put the
whole hospital at risk.

-After the UNOS run-in...
-She's right.

And if anything goes wrong
in-flight, we're liable.

But these treatments are
literally saving her.

That's a hard no.

I suggest you find a trial
this side of the border.

Look, uh, I gotta go.

I'm sorry it's not
what you wanted to hear

but you have your decision.
-Okay.

I've been on the job 3 hours,

and you're already
going over my head?

Old habits die hard, I guess.

Look, I'm sure you feel
like you have a lot to prove

and so you wanna go the
extra mile for your patients.

But people get sick,

and we can't always
offer them the moon.

Show Ms. Pinto how to make
peace with her disease

and with the limits
of modern medicine.

Sometimes that's all we can do.

She's your biggest fan.

Yeah, I'm still here.

He is my Chief Resident.

I can't just make a move no
matter how I feel about him.

Hey, you making a run for it?

Just headed back to
my room after PT.

-Alone?
-Here, let me help you.

I got it, Julie. But thanks.

-Can I help you?
-TJ Coleman.

75th Ranger Regiment.
I hear you served too.

Is this the part where we
do the secret handshake?

No, brother, I just
came in here just to...

Oh, oh. You saw
my meltdown in PT,

and you thought I
needed a pep talk.

You call it a meltdown;
I just call it a Tuesday.

Well, it sounds like
you've been here a while.

I work here. I mean, when
I don't look like this,

I'm a doctor.
-What happened to your leg?

A guy came into the
hospital with a gun.

I tried to disarm him
and...

Why is that funny?
-Ranger. Doctor. Action figure.

And you've been in that
chair for what, a week?

So you thought you'd wheel
your bored ass down here

and find someone to fix
to take the edge off.

-I didn't mean to offend.
-No, no, no, no.

You just got a hero
complex and you figured

you'd work it out on me.

That's not what I
was trying to do...

You wanna help me?
Track down Dr. Brandt.

Okay, I've been waiting
here for 3 hours

for a routine check-up.

Actually, you know, better yet,
you tell him the prosthetic

that he said would change
my life has been nothing

but trouble since
the day I got it.

-It shouldn't be that way...
-"With the right equipment,

people will barely notice."
That's what he said.

Turns out, it's the only
thing people notice!

I can't even get groceries
without someone thanking me

for my service.

How long has it
looked like that?

Man, you can't take
a hint, can you?

You know what, if you're not
gonna leave, then I will.

No, no, no! Wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait!

Hey! I need a hand in here!

What are you doing?

This man has an AV fistula

that should've been dealt
with long ago. I need hydrogel

dressings, gauze, and
an elastic bandage.

Don't worry, brother.

You'll get some real help.

This isn't happening.

Just get me whatever
you need me to sign,

but I'm leaving and
getting on that plane.

The last time you
went to the airport,

you threw up blood.

If that happens when
you're up in the air,

there'll be no way
to stop the bleeding.

Well, that's a chance I'll take!

I understand that you
think that this treatment

is your only shot, but
Dr. Walker has found

two new possible therapies.

They've received FDA approval
for trials as early as next year.

And in the meantime,
I... I... what?

I just go back to
the way things were?

A year ago I couldn't feed
myself, much less anyone else!

I lost my restaurant,
my livelihood...

I'm sorry, Claire, but
you're in no condition

to leave this hospital.

And if you refuse to stay
put, I have no choice

than to place you on a
72-hour psychiatric hold.

-Can she do that?
-Uh, she can and she will.

Well, so much for my
body, my choice, right?

You know, if I had terminal
cancer, the FDA would approve

an experimental
treatment in a heartbeat.

But because I have a
degenerative disease

that won't kill me tomorrow,
I'm not allowed to fight

for the life that I want!

No one is saying you
can't fight for it.

These other trials...
-I don't want another trial!

I want the one
that's working now!

We're trying to
mitigate your risk!

No. No, what you're
doing is paternalistic.

And wrong.

And I think that
you both know that.

Just go, please.

Get out!

The heart has beta
one receptors.

The lungs have beta two.

So a cardio-selective approach
lets us treat the heart

without compromising
pulmonary function.

Ah, Dr. Coleman.

I was looking for you earlier.

I hear you have been busy
catching Ortho's mistakes.

I like the hustle. Thank you.

-I do what I can.
-And how's the recovery?

Going home today, actually.

Just making sure they're
holding down the fort up here.

Well, I assure you, the
department's in good hands.

In fact, I'm bringing on a
new intern to lighten the load

while you're recovering.

So, take all the time you need.

We want you at full strength.

Hey, so, what do
we think of her?

Too early to tell.

You got time for a consult?

Hi, Kevin, I'm Dr. Maitra.

It's a pleasure to meet you.
And thank you for your service.

Mind if I take a
look at that leg?

Yeah. Your call.

The last guy who tried
got covered in blood.

Does that hurt?

No, nothing compared
to my prosthesis.

That thing rubs like hell.

Increased echogenicity
in the lateral quadrant

and loss of normal architecture.

-Thickening medially as well.
-Is that as bad as it sounds?

You ruptured an abnormal blood
vessel, which is unfortunately

a complication
from an infection.

So I need more antibiotics.

Unfortunately, it's
too advanced for that.

Most likely, you'll
need a stump revision.

You mean... you're gonna
take more of my leg.

Above the knee?

I'm sorry, man.

I mean, honestly, you know,
after winning the Weiss award,

I'm currently fielding
multiple offers.

Like Yale. Hopkins.

So maybe you could tell
me what you think Westside

has to offer me?

You know what?

We're actually
running short on time.

Sorry about that, but
why don't we do this?

How about if you have any
questions about the program,

you just shoot me an email.

Uh...

I'm just gonna need a minute.

Naproxen? You feeling okay?

Oh, I'm fine. Just a tough day.

What was that look for?

Nothing.

Okay, come on. You
clearly want me to ask.

She told me that I
don't belong here.

That this whole thing I'm doing
is misguided and narcissistic.

What? Sonya, why
would she say that?

You know she's never liked me.

And, apparently, she
has a thing for you.

Okay, you might wanna just
go easy on the medication.

I had another memory where I
heard her talking about it.

I guess I never told you?

Ah, no, no, and I kinda
wish you didn't tell me now.

You're my Chief Resident, right?

Don't you want to know if
one of your third years

is trying to undermine...
-You know I love you, right?

Hey, what, what, what
is it? What's wrong?

I just...

...remembered you telling
me you loved me...

in... in the parking garage?

Yeah, yeah, that... that was
the day of your accident.

So, you're... you're
really starting to have

a lot of memories.

This is a pleasant surprise.

I figured you and Nora could
use a home-cooked meal,

judging by all the DoorDash
you've ordered this last week.

Hey, if you're gonna judge,
you can get your own account.

And pay for food myself?

Pretty sure that's child abuse.

-Is that who I think it is?
-Hey, how're you feeling?

Oh, I couldn't tell
you. I'm too tired.

Is someone cooking?

Try and look a
little less surprised

and I'll throw dessert in, too.

Plus, I was hoping if I fed
you, maybe we could talk

about my senior
project proposal?

Oh, my God. I forgot to read it.

Oh, that's my fault, sweetheart.

I had him pull a double
shift last night.

Lucky for Dad,
bolognese takes time.

And I brought a hard copy.
-I'm on it.

What did Mom think?
-Um, she hasn't read it either.

She's been kinda
busy with her TMS.

She's back to that?

-What's TMS?
-She didn't tell you?

She got a few memories back.

Uh. No. She didn't mention it.

Of what?

I guess she got some at
the hospital with that cop,

and then some more
a few days ago.

Something about a restaurant.

Ah, this round's on me.

Claire, I know you
asked for privacy

but it's time to do your labs.

What the hell is going on?

I just wanted to help.

You had your injection
couriered from Mexico?

And who is this?
-A friend.

And a nurse practitioner.

Have you ever performed
a lumbar puncture?

-I've assisted on several.
-Okay, put the needle down.

Step away from my patient
before I call security.

No. No, wait! Just
close the curtain

and give us 10 minutes.

You don't
want to help me? Fine.

But do not get in the
way of the only hope

I have to hold my life together.

Claire, an improperly
administered injection

could leave you paralyzed!
It could kill you!

-I don't care!
-You stop this, I'll try

something else.

But I am not going back
to the way things were.

Do you understand me?

Give me the spinal needle.

So, before your clinical
rotations started,

you spent your summers doing
internships at NIH and Mayo?

Bit of an overachiever, huh?

I just did what I had to do.

I mean, I worked my ass off for
that med school scholarship,

but most of the
people I'm up against

went to Harvard and Yale, right?

Yeah, is that why you got
here today 5 hours early?

-Too eager?
-No, no, never.

And it looks like you made
the most of Case Western.

Summa Cum Laude, Alpha Omega
Alpha, and a publication

in Circulation Journal?

Yeah, that's why I stayed
on a few extra months.

I was doing research on
aortic valve stenosis,

wanted to see it through.

Then when this position
opened up off cycle,

it felt like kismet.
-Why is that?

Oh, well, my father
used to work here.

He was an attending in
this department, actually.

I'm kind of following
in his footsteps.

-Clark, as in Brian Clark?
-That's him, yeah.

Wow, okay, yeah. I only
met him a few times

but he always seemed
like a great guy.

I was very sorry to
hear that he passed.

Yeah, way too young.

Look, I know you've been
here since, like, 9 AM,

but if you can stay
a little longer,

I'd love for you
to meet Dr. Ridley.

-Wait, are you serious?
-Yeah.

Oh, my God, thank you!

Well, don't thank me quite yet.

I'm just the good cop.

-Have they started?
-No. No. Why?

-What's going on?
-Secondary labs came back.

His prothrombin time
is through the roof.

You operate now,
he'll bleed out.

Why isn't his liver functioning?

This can't all be
from the infection.

No, we must be
missing something.

Can you track down the records
from his original amputation?

The name's Kevin Cross.

No, I heard you the first
time. I'm just not seeing it.

I don't think we
ever treated him.

That can't be right.

Anyone injured in Afghanistan
would've went to Ramstein.

It would've been
March 2013. A BKA.

I don't know what
to tell you, man.

According to my records,
Kevin Cross was never here.

Sorry, I gotta go now.

120 over 81.

-That's good, right?
-No headache?

Vision changes?

Any numbness, tingling anywhere?

I'm fine, really.

Well, the good news
is, your transaminases

are levelling off.

I added a fresh frozen
plasma to help your clotting.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

I know that I put you
in a bad position.

You did.

But I know what it's like
to have the life you want

taken away from you.

Thanks, Elias.

Hey.

How'd it go in there?

How did she take the news?

Oh, yeah. As well
as can be expected.

But Dr. Walker has found
a group at NYU launching

an autologous stem cell
trial for MS patients.

-You're... bleeding.
-Oh.

Oh, God.

Uh, excuse me.

-Amy? You okay?
-Uh...

Found what we're looking for.

Turns out, Kevin
wasn't in Afghanistan

at the time of the accident.
-What?

Why would he lie about that?
-Any number of reasons

why a soldier might not come clean
about where he was stationed.

Point is, his operation
wasn't in Germany.

It was in Georgia.

-And that matters because...
-They also replaced his hip.

Now, the hip's asymptomatic,
but arthroplasties

can degenerate into
metal on metal.

And 12 years ago, in
Georgia, they would've used

a cobalt alloy, not titanium.

Cobalt toxicity would explain
the fistula, infection, high PT.

He has metallosis.
-Good catch, TJ.

I just hope we're not
too late to fix it.

-Got a minute?
-What can I do for you, Joan?

I wanted to talk to you about Amy and
the treatment protocol you have her on.

I don't discuss my patients
or their treatment protocols.

Are you aware she's
having nose bleeds?

And her ID badge scanned
the PYXIS for multiple doses

of naproxen today.

You're surveilling
her PYXIS access?

It's my job to know what's
happening with my staff.

Not just be her friend.

Headaches and nosebleeds aren't
uncommon for TMS patients.

Well, they're not particularly
desirable in doctors.

She's doing what
she needs to do.

Come on, let's get real.

I think we both know
that memory recovery

is a pipe dream at best.
But at worst, it'll make her

emotional, irrational,
distracted.

So, if she's really trying
to get back to where she was,

you're not doing
her any favours.

See there you go again.

Acting like you know
what's best for her.

Well, guess what? It's not
up to you, and it never was.

You're the only one who
doesn't seem to get that.

Welcome back.

Dr. Brandt said the
surgery went well.

Turns out your hip
replacement was the culprit,

but he fixed you
up, and the necrosis

in the stump wasn't as
widespread as we feared.

Which means the
revision was minimal.

Your knee's still intact.

Wait, really?

With physical therapy
and a new prosthetic,

you'll be good as new.

Let me change that for you.

You really think this
one'll be different?

Hate to be one of
those annoying doctors

with their promises,
but yeah, I do.

Then I guess I owe
you an apology.

No, man.

I think maybe you
were right about me.

My whole life, I've been
a man with a mission.

Son of cops.

Military. Med school.

Until last week.

You took a bullet on the job.

And became just another thing
my friends had to worry about.

Now I'm out of commission
for God knows how long.

And I keep replaying
it in my mind.

Asking myself why
I jumped that guy.

What it is I'm so
desperate to prove.

I don't know.

Maybe I do have a hero complex.

I was just being bitter.

And I am the last person who
should make you doubt yourself.

My whole life I've
been a waste of space.

Pissed away my 20s.

Joined the military at 31,
hoping to find some purpose.

Never even made it out of Basic.

I mishandled a grenade,
blew my own leg off.

I wore the uniform for 6 weeks.

And what do I have
to show for it?

It doesn't matter how
long you wore the uniform.

Most people are never
brave enough to put it on.

You remember that, next time you
feel anything other than proud.

I can try.

Hey.

You know what? Let me do
this. It's my turn, anyway.

Won't argue with that.

I'm sorry I haven't
been much help today.

I wasn't expecting Katie...
-I love having her here.

It's Amy being here
I could do without.

Come on. I think that's unfair.

So that phone call
you had earlier today

had nothing to do with her?

This should be
our time, Michael.

I know. And it is.

I think we can both agree
her memories coming back

must be destabilizing.
-For her or for you?

You should've seen the look on
your face when Katie told us.

What, I'm not allowed to
have complicated feelings

about my ex-wife remembering
the worst years of our lives?

Wow. So, now our marriage
is part of the "worst years"

of your life.
-You know that's not

what I meant...
-Just tell me this:

what exactly are you afraid of?

'Cause I think that you're
scared that she'll remember

why she left you and
then she won't be pining

after you anymore.

No, that's just not...

And that scares
the hell out of me.

Nora, honey, come here.

Hey.

I love you and I meant what
I said at the hospital.

I'm in this.

I know. Sorry.

I'm just... I'm so tired.

Claire, have you
been up and about?

Dr. Larsen. Uh, I haven't...
I haven't left bed. Why?

Are you having chest pain?

How about palpitations, nausea?

No, I'm just a little
dizzy, I guess.

Is something wrong?

Your heart's acting up a bit.

I'm gonna settle it down.

-Crash cart? What's going on?
-I could use your help in here.

Claire, this is Dr. Heller.

He's going to help stabilize
your rhythm and fix

that dizziness, okay?

Hey, Claire. How long have
you been feeling this way?

Um, just a few minutes.

I'm going to start Propranolol.

Do you have any history
of heart problems?

No, none.

It's an odd complication
from hepatitis.

It's not from her hepatitis.

I injected her with intrathecal
stem cells about an hour ago.

It's probably from a
fluid bolus in prep.

You gave her a non-FDA drug
treatment sent from Mexico?

Jesus...

Claire!

She's V tach.

Charging to 200!

Clear.

Wait. I can... I can explain...
-Just stay with your patient.

Get a beta blocker drip
going and a full-loading dose

of amiodarone on board, and then
you monitor her blood pressure.

She's not out of the woods yet.

Neither are you.

Dad, you okay in here?

Sh, sh, sh, sh.

Whatcha looking at?

Well, I was trying to
find that old mobile

we hung over the crib
with you and Danny.

Then I found this.

Simon looks like
him, doesn't he?

You know, he does, a little.

Except...
-The eyes.

Those are all Nora.

Between you and me, I think
he's got Nora's lungs, too.

I know how happy you are,

but I'm sure it's
also really hard.

For you, too, right?

I guess Nora's kinda living
in a pretty big shadow.

I might've heard you arguing.

We're just running
on empty. That's all.

Part of you still loves
Mom though, don't you?

Part of me always will.

Guess I gave you
quite the scare.

I'll say.

Your heart looks
good now, though.

Is this gonna disqualify
me from the trial?

I spoke to Dr. Rodriguez and
he's agreed to keep you in

despite your latest setback.

That is twice that
you saved my life.

I don't really know
how to thank you.

She's hemodynamically stable
and normal sinus rhythm.

Good.

If you're all set
here, I'd like a word?

Just make the most of it, yeah?

So that's it? All's
well that ends well?

You don't understand.

Those treatments
were saving her life.

You were lecturing me earlier
about how I'm Chief Resident.

Tell me, how do you expect
someone in that position

to keep quiet about this?

Okay, then go report me to Joan!

I'm not gonna do that.

And you know that, which
is part of the problem.

Because you still love me.

I will never do
that to you again.

I asked you to stop this.

I do remember that.

Sorry.

Okay, you don't look sorry.

No?

How do I look?

-You outta here?
-And not a second too soon.

Before you fly the
coop, Joan wants to see

the whole department.

She's calling an
all-hands at 7 PM?

Damn, this woman is no joke.

I'll help you with your stuff.

You knew, didn't you?

About Kevin?

So when I asked you why somebody
would lie about their injury...

Wasn't my story to tell.

Well, for what it's worth,

I don't think you
have a hero complex.

I think maybe
you're just a hero.

I'll be damned.

Sonya Maitra has a soft side.

Don't tell me you're
sneaking outta here

without saying goodbye.

Nah, new chief
wouldn't allow that.

But hey, thanks for
the nudge today.

I'm glad I talked to Kevin.

Yeah, well. I find,
in my experience,

the best way to
get out of a funk

is to be of service
to someone else.

I don't know if I'd
call it a "funk."

Please.

-What?
-Kevin's gonna be okay.

And I will, too.

Happy to hear it.

Do you need a ride home
tonight, after the meeting?

Headed that way.

Thanks, but my parents
are coming to get me.

Appreciate it though.

Yeah, anytime.

Florence Nightingale never
offered me a ride home.

Whatever it is, you're
strong enough to fight it,

and I'm here.

It's um, it's MDS,

so there's a good chance
it'll turn into leukemia.

Then we'll cross
that bridge, okay?

I'm sorry.

I know it's not what you
want to hear right now but...

...if it gets bad and you
start to experience deficits,

you can't perform
surgery any more.

That's a hell of a bedside
manner you got there.

Look, I'm just saying...

...that you can't operate
if your hand's shaking.

I would never do anything
to jeopardize a patient

and I don't need
you to tell me that.

You wanted to see us?

Yes, uh...

I wanted to talk about
Claire Pinto's "spontaneous"

ventricular tachycardia
earlier today.

She didn't tell you that either?

Well, it's a rare
complication of hepatitis.

Very rare.

More likely, it's an adverse
reaction to an intrathecal shot,

which happened to occur
just hours after a courier

signed in a package
from Mexico to Claire.

I think we all need to
stop assuming the worst.

Do you deny giving
that woman the shot?

Let me put this plainly.

Your ex-husband is the
CMO, your boyfriend

was your Chief Resident,

and your best friend
is your neurologist.

Which means you've been
given too wide a berth.

What you've accomplished since
your accident is remarkable.

But I've been
reviewing your cases

and your behaviour
is concerning.

You're reviewing my cases?

Yes, of course.

You know, I have always
taken pride in your success.

But you took advantage
of our friendship today.

And let's be clear, kiddo.

You're still auditioning.

Now, if you'll
join me in the IMO,

I have a few
announcements to make.

Nosebleeds? Naproxen? An
IT injection from Mexico?

Why am I hearing
about that from Joan?

It was a pretty busy
day with patients.

I was gonna tell you.

We need to slow down
your treatments.

No, Gina, no. It's working!

I had two new memories today.

I'm not saying we stop.

But if we continue the
TMS, we do it my way!

Slow. Steady. No
secrets. We clear?

Yeah.

You ready
to go down to dinner?

I don't wanna jinx it, but
Simon says it looks pretty good.

I'll be right there.

I'm about to make your day.

My Dad's plans fell through
tonight, so he can't use

his floor side tickets
to the Timberwolves game.

Uh, that sounds great,
but I've... I've got Mia.

Oh, I thought it was
Rachel's, uh, turn.

Never mind. Some other time.
-Yeah.

Okay! I think we have
a quorum. Let's get started.

First, I want to thank you
all for a great first day.

From what I've seen so
far, I can work with this.

We have a talented group, and
I'm excited to captain the ship.

I know that there has been some
disarray in this department,

and some issues with
leadership, but make no mistake:

I am here to make this the
best hospital in the country.

And that starts with
making each of you better.

With every patient every
day, we will be smarter,

more efficient,
leaner and meaner.

In 2 months, there will
be an official evaluation.

Some of you will not survive it.

If that scares you, good.

It means you want this.

And for the best of the
best, fear is a motivator,

not a deterrent.

Now we will see who
rises to the challenge,

and who doesn't.

See you all tomorrow.
