Original subtitles

[Hayley] Even with the new hires,

it's still always gonna be SkyMed.

- I'll do compressions. You do jaw thrusts.

- I'm sorry, who are you? - Zay.

[Crystal] He's skilled, but he's not

here for the right reasons. [Lexi] Wheezer's trusting

me to be a training captain. Maya Chang,

I don't know what squadron you came from,

but in mine, we respected the uniform.

[Stef] Must have gone on autopilot for a minute there.

Wow. What is with this brain fog?

- But my life isn't exactly normal right now, cowboy,

and I can't get distracted.

My parents died, brother's only 15,

so it's just the two of us now.

[Hayley] My boyfriend has an ex-fianc�e

I didn't know about, and I can't hire enough medics

to keep the planes in the air.

[Crystal] The Jeremy Wood Clinic?

- And we want you to run it.

[Crystal] I, I'd have to leave SkyMed.

[Hayley] Piper? Wyatt?

He's lucky you found him when you did.

[Hayley] Wheezer, you used to be engaged.

- Hayley, I used to be married.

Why does being engaged before that matter?

- Because I knew about the marriage.

This is the first time I'm hearing about Riley.

- Yeah, because it's ancient history.

We were 19, we were in flight school,

and I had no idea that she was going to be

the Aviation Management Group rep coming up here.

- Well, what happened with you two?

Why didn't it work out? - Look, we...

We got different opportunities out of school.

We went our separate ways. We were young.

But we haven't seen each other in years.

And if I'd known she was coming up here,

believe me, I would have warned you.

- Well, is there anyone else from your past

you'd like to inform me of? Any other ex-fianc�es

or wives or former pets?

- I promise, I have no skeletons in my closet.

I got nothing up my sleeve, but you might want to check

just in case. You know what?

You might want to check the whole flight suit, actually.

- Wheezer, I don't want Riley to know we're together.

I'm chief nurse. And if I have to ask for more money,

for more staff, I want to be seen as professional,

not management's ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend.

- You got it. I'm gonna keep it totally profesh.

Maybe I can get a sexy little handshake or something, though?

- Okay, you can have a little kiss.

- A little one? [Riley] What a day to fly!

Clear skies, low winds.

I can see why you stayed out here so long, Opie.

- Hi, Riley. Have you met SkyMed's chief nurse?

This is Hayley Roberts. - Hi, nice to meet you.

Um, look, I'm sure you've got lots to get up to speed on,

but when you have a minute, I'd love to talk about staff.

- I'm all yours. Where are we headed first?

You don't mind having an FO with more pick time

than you do, you Opie? - I don't know if you got

more time than me, Riley?

- All right, sorry. I meant more type ratings.

Let's kick the tires and light the fires.

[Wheezer sighs]

[theme music]

[plane roars past]

- Damn, kid. You walk into a propeller?

I'd hate to see the other guy. [embarrassed chuckled]

- Yeah, never wear your flight bag cross-body.

Patient slipped and grabbed it. Nearly yanked to me off my feet.

Hey, Crystal, have you been to the hospital yet?

How's Wyatt?

- Oh, I didn't know you two were close.

- Some medics just actually care about their patients,

you know, like human beings?

- D-did he say anything about the accident?

- Yeah, it'd be great if they could catch

the asshole who hit him. [sharp exhale]

- The police took his statement.

He didn't really have many details,

but I can go ask him again today.

- No. No, don't stress him out.

Just wanted to make sure he was okay.

- Okay.

- Listen, I think we got off on the wrong foot,

but it looks like we're gonna be working together,

so maybe we can start over.

- If it was up to me, we wouldn't be working together.

- Oh, come on. I'm a good nurse.

- With a bad attitude.

You don't care about your patients,

and if you don't care, you shouldn't be up here.

- I know my stuff.

Does it matter if I know the patient's

favorite color, too? [scoffs]

- You think it's fun to come up

where there's no resources, no supervision,

and you can just do whatever you want?

These are people! - It's not a joke to me.

I take this very seriously.

- Then act like it.

[door opens]

[Riley] Wow, it's smaller than I remember.

I guess jets, you get used to bigger cockpits.

- No, it's not flashy, but it gets the job done.

None of my patients ever complain.

- None of "our" patients. And it's a great plane.

Captain Heaseman said you went to flight school together.

Where have you been flying since then?

- Kind of everywhere.

Flew the 777 in Japan.

Then I came back to North America

to fly the 737, 757, 787.

- Wow, all the sevens, huh? - Yeah.

What about you, Opie? What have you

been up to the last 20 years?

- Ah, well, this.

Yeah, but, uh, but between air ambulances,

passenger flights, and cargo,

I oversee ten planes and 60 crew.

I'm actually taking the staff survival training this weekend.

It's a safety initiative I created.

- "We're" taking the staff to do team building.

We agreed to expand the training.

- Yeah, well, we... we talked about that.

I didn't think we decided yet.

- I thought we did decide?

I thought we agreed team building is essential

for everyone to work together every day,

not just in emergencies?

- Look, survival training is my program.

It's an aviation program.

- And we have a lot of new crew coming in

who need to get comfortable with each other and build trust.

- This is about safety. It's not about

making friends, Hayley. [Riley laughs]

- Classic Opie,

always thinking of the worst-case scenario.

- Why do you call him Opie? - It's an aviation saying.

There are old pilots. There are bold pilots.

There are no old, bold pilots.

He's never been much of a risk-taker.

- That is not true. - That's why we broke up.

I got offered the job in Japan right out of flight school,

and I wanted Opie to come,

but he thought it was too big of a risk.

- I'm not risk-averse. I just like knowing

that I'm taking a smart risk.

- That's Opie. Always gotta do things his way.

But he's the kind of guy that I didn't know enough

to appreciate when I was 20.

Sometimes you don't know what you had until you're older.

- Look, I know it hurts,

but I need to have a look, okay, Reg?

[cloth squelches] - Whoa, okay, whoa, whoa!

I think I saw inside his head.

That hole goes inside his head, right?

- Ow! - Yes, that would be

the internal auditory canal.

- You always did have a delicate tummy.

- The gentleman is missing an ear.

- Probably tore it off with that stupid fishing line.

- It was an accident.

I didn't know he was standing right behind me

when I cast the line,

and I didn't know it got caught on his ear.

- What, did you think I was screaming just for kicks?

- I thought you was excited about the fishing derby.

- Paul, you idiot! - Okay, everyone

try to remain calm, okay?

The good news is, ears can be reattached.

And luckily, we have a pretty good idea where your ear is.

- No. No, this is a prize-winning fish.

- If we don't get Reg and the fish to the hospital

before the ear degrades, they won't be able to reattach it.

- But they judge by weight. If you take it now,

no one will believe me. It's my fish. I caught him.

- Yeah, with my ear.

- Okay, well, what if we can document how big the fish

is before we take it? I don't have a scale,

but I do have this. We use it to measure babies.

It uses height to indicate the corresponding weight.

- For babies? This is a fish.

- Well, look, Hayley is a professional.

The judges will take her assessment.

Plus, it's not really a winning fish

if your partner loses an ear, right?

[screaming] - Ow! Ow!

- Okay.

- Ugh, oh God.

Uh, okay, can you hold that there? Thank you.

[gagging]

[tape measure clicking]

Okay, one, two, three, cheese.

Yeah, okay, there you go. See, not squeamish at all.

- Very manly. - Mm-hmm.

- You handled that really well. A true leader.

- Nah, that was all Hayley.

[Wheezer] You know, Riley was right,

I do like things my way. But you were right, too.

We're a team, and we agreed to make all the decisions

for SkyMed together, so...

yeah, we can work a little team building

into survival training.

- We can work some survival training into team building.

- Great.

- Wow. You have a flexible HR policy.

- Yeah, we... uh, we were trying to keep this quiet.

- You don't need to keep your love life

a secret from me, Opie. - Oh, it was me.

Um, I wanted to be professional.

But we've been together for a while,

and it does not interfere with our work.

- Totally. It makes us stronger

being able to collaborate so intimately.

No, I just, I mean that having a romantic relationship

means that we know how to work hand in glove.

[stammers]

Look, I just mean that dating

allows us to keep a finger in each other's... pie.

Please help me. - Uh, so we decided

to switch up survival team weekend.

You should come along. - It sounds really fun,

but I have to be back on the West Coast on Monday.

Actually, I was hoping we could go over aviation operations.

There's some pretty big losses and costs.

I want to understand where they're coming from.

[exhales]

- Whatever you need, I'll get maintenance control

pulling records.

- Well, I feel like a jerk

telling you what a catch your boyfriend is.

- No, I'm the jerk for keeping it a secret.

I just wanted to be taken seriously as the chief nurse.

And I have to ask for funding for more medical staff,

and I didn't want to be seen as Wheezer's girlfriend.

- Absolutely. Let's talk Monday before I leave. Sound good?

- That's great. Thank you. - Okay.

[soft music]

[Crystal] Okay, pupil response looks good.

Can you follow my finger?

[Crystal] Okay, that looks good. Very good.

- It was you.

[breathes shakily]

- Wyatt, I... - You're the one who saved me.

- You're lucky Piper found you

and brought you to the ER so fast.

Your injuries were minor, all things considered,

a little whiplash, some bruised ribs,

and a mild concussion.

- So, he's gonna be okay?

- He can take those flowers to go.

Just make sure you take it easy.

- But it's SkyMed survival training this weekend?

- Oh, I can write you a note. Wheezer's gonna understand.

- No. No, no, no, I-I need to go.

I already screwed up my first week getting hit by a car.

I need to go to survival training

to prove I was worth hiring.

- Okay, normally, I don't advise camping

right after an injury, but your scans were clear.

Just don't push it

and let us know if you're struggling, okay?

- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

[chuckling] - I'm glad you're okay.

- Yeah. Yeah, I do got a sharp pain right here.

- Your vitals look okay.

You want me to call Crystal back?

[deep exhale then chuckles]

- You saved my life, Piper.

And how am I ever going to impress you now?

- The only thing that matters now is that you're okay.

Don't worry about anything else.

[female voicemail] Leave a message, loser.

- Happy birthday!

You'll never guess where I am.

I...

am in the right seat of a King Air.

Your girl's an FO, baby! [giggles]

Oh, God, I wish you could see this.

I wish we could talk.

Especially today.

Anyway,

just wanted to hear your voice.

Happy birthday, gorgeous.

[soft pensive music]

[sighs]

- You're early. - Yeah,

just wanted to practice my flows.

First day as FO, want to get it right.

- And when I went flight line, my buddy Nowak and I

would eat lunch in here together so I could do the same thing.

- Sounds like a good friend. - The best.

You took kind of a big break in between

getting your private license at cadets

and going for your commercial, like five years?

- Yeah, just sometimes you have to go down the wrong path

before you find the right one. - Hmm.

- But I've wanted to fly ever since I sat in a glider.

- It was a glider for me, too.

- It's the freedom, right?

The tow rope falls away, your stomach drops,

and it's just... you and the big sky.

- Yep. [Stef] Good morning!

Who wants... coffee?

[Maya] Oh! [Stef] Lex, I got your uzh,

but Maya, I don't know how you take it,

so there's black, light, and sweet, or tea.

- Thank you. - You are in a good mood.

- Oh, I got sleep. A whole eight hours of it.

And I'm not working any more doubles

since Piper and Zay, started.

Today's gonna be a good day. I can feel it.

[airplane roars]

[George] My sutures really hurt.

- Let me have a look, okay, George?

[grunting]

[blood spurting]

[tense music]

- Why is there so much blood?! - You have a bleed,

but I'm pushing fluids.

We need to divert back to Thompson.

Tell dispatch I need fluids and an ambulance standing by.

45-year-old man, heavy bleeding post-abdominal surgery.

[eerie unsettling music]

[heart beat thumping]

[breathes shakily]

[high-pitched ringing]

[water rushing]

[steadying exhale] - Get it together, Stef.

- Finn? - Hey, Piper.

- What are you doing here? - It's cool. I work here now.

- What do you mean you work here now?

- Relax. I'm just doing part-time.

And I'm not doing anything dangerous.

And basketball hasn't even started yet so--

- Finn, I thought we agreed you lay low

until school started?

- That was before your car accident.

- Have you... told anyone here about that?

- No, why? You hit a deer. Is that a crime or something?

Look, I just want to help, Piper.

And I know you can't afford to get the car fixed.

- Finn, you need to run these things by me.

- Can I keep the job?

[deep inhale and exhale]

- But let's keep the car thing between you and me, okay?

- Okay.

- Come on.

[Wheezer] Well, that looks fancy.

Jeremy Wood Clinic. Is this, is this happening?

- It's a proposal.

I'm helping the community with final touches.

- Oh, that is great, Crissy. Jer would be so proud.

- It is great. And if we get funding,

they want me to run it, but they want to have it

up and running by this spring.

- What? That... that's fast.

Have you told Hayley?

[sighs]

- I'm worried she'll be upset I'm leaving SkyMed.

- She's your best friend. She's going to be happy for you.

But I wouldn't sit on it for too long

because she's already having a hard time with staffing.

- A little fancy for the bush, no?

- Oh, yeah. I got to go through operations

with Riley this weekend. So, Hayley's running

the team survival training without me.

- I thought we agreed to call it survival team building?

- I'm late. Have an adventure for me.

- Mwah, will do.

- And how do you feel about Wheezer spending the weekend

with his ex-fianc�e?

- I trust Wheezer.

Okay, Riley did still seem into him,

but she knows we're together, so...

Pilots come and go,

but nurse besties are forever, right?

- Right.

[Hayley] Welcome to SkyMed Survival Training

Team Building Weekend.

[all whoop]

Now, you all have the coordinates to an airstrip.

The goal for this weekend is to use our skills

to navigate to that airstrip where Wheezer will pick us up.

But along the way, we'll face challenges

that'll help us work together as a team.

But the most important part of our job...

...our patients. [all laugh]

Your goal is to keep Captain Wheezer alive

until we reach the airstrip.

- Wow, she got the epaulets on there and everything.

- Now, take a look around.

This may look like a normal clearing

with logs and rocks,

but when we are transporting a sick patient,

it can be a minefield, okay?

So, it is crucial that we communicate

and act together to navigate it safely.

Now, to practice that...

the person at the front of the backboard

will be blindfolded. - Oh!

- Okay! - The person at the back,

it is your job to give directions

to get the patient across safely.

Pilots, you're up first, Maya and Wyatt. Let's go!

- Yep. - Let's go!

[Wyatt] Come on, let's do this!

[whistles]

- Oh, I don't feel comfortable being blindfolded.

I'll take the back. - Oh, no, no, no,

I just had a head injury, so I can't risk falling,

and most of the weight's at the patients head,

so I think the stronger person should be at the back.

- I am strong. Also, if you were just injured,

shouldn't you take less weight?

- Just walk where I tell ya, okay?

[Hayley] All right, hurry up, guys. Let's go.

[sighs]

- Hey, can I ask your professional opinion?

- Mm-hmm. - I had a patient the other day

with weird symptoms. She was, she had this brain fog

that she couldn't shake. And she's tired all the time,

but she can't sleep. And then she started, like,

dissociating, like, feeling outside of her own body.

- It could be an undiagnosed mental illness,

brain tumor, an infection.

But your patient will definitely

need an MRI to confirm.

- Sounds kinda serious.

- Could be. It's a good thing your patient's getting help.

- Yeah.

[Wyatt] Whoa, wait. Hey, just hold on.

Slow down. You need to veer left.

- I can't slow down. You're pushing me.

And do you mean turn left or straight and then left?

- No, I mean veer left. You're drifting.

- What does veer left mean? Can't you just say turn?

Ah! Gah!

You, you walked me into a tree, bro.

- Me? - Yeah!

- You're weren't following my directions!

- Maybe give better directions! [Lexi] Hey!

Come on, pilots. We're a team here.

- This is a great example of why communication

and trust are key, you guys, okay?

[Hayley] Crystal and Zay, you're up.

We have to get the patient over the hill

to get to the airstrip. And just like on a real call,

these are the tools you have to work with.

[quirky tense music]

- So, you want to discuss a plan or maybe--

- I'll sling a pulley around that tree.

You tie it to the litter. I'll pull, you push.

- Great.

[grunts]

[Zay] This is team building, you know.

We're supposed to work together. I do actually know some stuff.

- We know. You won't stop showing off.

- Maybe you just don't like that there's finally

someone else up here as smart as you.

Is that why you keep hanging around SkyMed,

to be the smart one? Or are you just worried

that the world won't turn if Dr. Crystal Highway

isn't spinning it?

[Crystal grunts] Ah!

[rope zipping]

- Ah!

- Look out! - Move! Move!

[loud crash]

[gasps]

- Well, he did have epaulets.

- Okay...

obviously some things to work on.

- Nice one, Doctor.

[Hayley] Come on, team.

Let's hike to the next challenge.

[tense quirky music]

- Piper, hey, Piper,

want me to carry that? Seems heavy.

- You're supposed to be taking it easy.

- Come on, Piper. How else am I going to thank you

for saving my life? Besides, I gotta prove myself

after that challenge with Maya,

when I didn't exactly click.

Maybe you and I can partner up on the next one?

- Sorry. I think pilots are supposed to be with pilots,

and medics stick with medics.

- What's the deal with you two?

She was pretty upset after your accident.

- She was?

- Still don't remember anything about that car that hit you?

- No, I remember opening my eyes and Piper being there.

- Maybe be careful with her.

- What about you and Crystal?

- Yeah, well, the thing about that is, she hates me.

I usually don't have to work this hard to impress people.

Most girls are pretty impressed before they even meet me.

- Well, I've never had that problem,

but if whatever you're doing isn't impressing her,

then why don't you try figuring out what she thinks

is impressive and doing that instead?

- You're a good guy, Wy. You know that?

[gentle music]

[birds chirping]

[Hayley] Welcome to your next team challenge.

This is the most direct path to the airstrip.

If we don't cross here, it adds six hours to the hike.

- Oh. - Pilots,

these are the supplies you have to build your raft.

And medics, let's secure the patient

and our medical gear.

All right, let's go, guys!

- I'm sorry. Dropping Dummy Wheezer

down a hill didn't exactly help team spirit.

- Hey, that's okay. I set up a campsite

on the other side with food and marshmallows

and a projector so we can have a movie night under the stars.

Something my mom would always do when our family went camping.

Sure, you and Zay aren't getting along quite yet,

but you're going to be at SkyMed until you finish your residency,

so you'll have lots of time to figure it out.

Plus, the planes are small, so it's not like

you can stay enemies forever.

- I have to tell you something.

[Maya] Stop! It isn't ready yet!

You can't put it in the water.

[Wyatt] I'm not putting it in the water.

I'm just getting it closer.

By the way, these ropes are too loose.

I think you gotta tighten them up, hey?

- Okay, this isn't the blindfold challenge.

You don't get to give me orders.

We're supposed to be a team, right?

- I grew up on a ranch, okay?

I know how to rig all this stuff.

I think I should be the lead here.

- Yeah, I was a cadet. I built rafts.

You don't get to take control.

- Okay, hang on.

We need to make sure the patient's secure.

- Relax, it's fine.

- I told you it's not ready!

[grunts] - Hold on, just wait.

- You're supposed to work together! Guys, please!

- Come on, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Oh, Wyatt!

- Oh, my-- - Oh!

[group shouting]

- You just lost your chief pilot!

- You guys!

Oh, my God. All you had to do was work together!

Without the raft, we have to walk around the river.

It's a six-hour hike to our campsite.

- Yeah, looks like we're sleeping here tonight.

- That's smart. Mixing cattails with birch bark.

- Gotta get at least one thing right today, right?

- Earlier with Wyatt... [sighs]

I get he was being a jerk, but you kinda lost control.

- I just... I have a hard time with people like that.

And I know, former cadet, you'd think I'd be

used to getting ordered around, but...

- Depends on who's doing the ordering?

- Yeah.

- You're a first officer now, Maya.

You can't lose control.

Just makes the other person look like they're right,

even when they aren't.

- My sister used to say that, too.

Yesterday was her birthday.

They say milestones are hardest the first year

after someone dies, but...

the second year hasn't been any easier.

- I'm sorry. Were you two close?

- We grew apart the last couple years.

I just really miss her.

She's my best friend.

- That must be really tough.

I've really been missing Nowak since he left.

So what happened? Why'd you two grow apart?

- I think I disappointed her.

But I don't want to disappoint you, Captain Martine.

- My dad always says, "When you sit five inches apart,

your copilot is your closest friend."

So... it's just Lexi, okay?

Okay, show me what you got, cadet.

[Zay] Hey, Piper.

- Hey. - How's that bruise doing?

[chuckles] - It's fine. It's just a bruise.

- It's funny how much it looks like a seatbelt bruise.

And didn't your brother say that you needed money to fix the car?

- Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about, Zay.

- What happened, Piper? You hit something? Or someone?

You just happened to show up

the moment someone hit Wyatt and took off.

He's a good guy, Piper.

And he likes you, but he deserves to know the truth.

- I was gonna tell everyone,

but they all just assumed someone else hit him.

- Yeah, and you didn't bother to correct them?

- It's just me and my brother since my parents died.

He's still a minor. If I get in trouble,

I can lose custody. He's already lost his parents, Zay.

- Look, I'm sorry about your brother,

but Wyatt doesn't deserve this.

- Please, I will tell him. I will.

[stammers] I'll tell him.

Just give me a chance to make it right, okay?

It should come from me.

- Okay.

But if you don't tell him, I will.

[breathes shakily]

- You okay?

- I just had this vision for tonight.

If I made everything perfect, then we would all be--

- A family?

- Yeah.

Maybe Wheezer was right. Maybe...

Maybe SkyMed will never be a family again.

At least I have you and Wheezer.

You're my family.

- Hayley,

the community is raising funds

to open a medical clinic.

The Jeremy Wood Clinic.

- Oh my God, Crystal, that's amazing.

- And if they get the funding, they want me to run it...

in the spring.

[soft music]

This is important for North House.

And it's important for me.

And look, I-I know you're short-staffed.

I don't want to leave, but we... we still have a few months.

- No, this is... this is huge.

And you worked so, so hard, Crys.

You deserve this. - We could help a lot of people.

It's just happening a lot sooner than I thought.

And I can't help worrying.

I mean, maybe the right thing's happening at the wrong time.

- No. No. This is the right thing

at the right time.

And I'm so proud of you.

[chuckling softly] Come here.

[tender music]

[loon hoots in distance]

[foliage crunching]

- Watching the stars?

- Trying to figure out a way to apologize to Maya.

I'm just trying to prove I deserve to be here, you know?

Especially after my accident.

- Wyatt, I need to tell you something.

- What is it?

- The night of your accident, the car that hit you, it--

- Piper, look.

- Are those fireflies?

- Yeah.

Fireflies are good luck.

We used to get them on the ranch all the time

when I was a kid.

You know, I haven't seen any since Briscoe died.

Briscoe Bowler, he was a racehorse. Yeah.

Sweet boy would do anything for a snuggle.

[Piper chuckles softly]

But one weekend when my parents were out of town,

Briscoe broke his leg. And, um...

I had to be the one to make the decision to...

[sniffles] I've had bad luck ever since.

[sniffles]

I met Finley at the hangar today.

He told me about your parents. I'm sorry.

- Yeah, I kinda liked you not knowing.

It was nice pretending to be a normal 24-year-old

with normal 24-year-old problems.

[soft music]

[sighs] - I have such a headache.

- Hey, let me, let take a look.

[sighs]

[music becomes tender]

You look good to me.

- Do I?

[Riley] So, let me get this straight,

in the last year, you had to repair

a snapped cable that jammed the elevator on SkyMed 922,

a plane which later blew up and still needs to be replaced.

And then a patient tried to steal 911.

And two days ago, there was an oil cap mishap

on 933 that nearly torched the engine?

- Well, when you put it like that...

- When you put it like that, I am surprised

you've kept this base running at all,

let alone as efficiently as you have.

- Really? - I wasn't kidding

when I said that you are worth appreciating, Opie.

You are a damn good chief pilot.

In fact, I think it might be time for an upgrade.

We still need to replace 922, so how would you feel

about adding a Learjet to your fleet?

There's one for sale in Winnipeg.

- Can SkyMed afford that?

- We would have to institute a hiring freeze

for the rest of the year,

but a faster plane would allow SkyMed to service

a bigger area with more critical patients.

This is exactly what SkyMed Manitoba needs to grow, Opie.

[sighs] - Yeah, but a new aircraft

means added training, exclusive parts.

We'd have to fly into different airstrips in some cases.

- Oh, come on, Opie this is bold pilot stuff. Take a risk!

Do you know how many chief pilots

would kill to have their AMG offering them

a newer, better plane?

- I do take risks... when they're smart.

[chuckles] So, I guess, um...

Yeah, SkyMed's getting a Learjet.

- Okay, there you go, Opie,

making bold moves. I'm proud of you.

- Hey, I take risks, Ri.

Look, you remember when we borrowed your dad's 152?

We flew to that concert in Montreal. You remember that?

- I remember. - Mm-hmm.

- You were terrified to enter controlled airspace at YUL,

and then when you tried to refuel after the show,

the ground crew yelled at you in French.

[chuckles] - Yeah, they wouldn't let us

refuel 'til 0600 when they reopened, right? Yeah. Mm-hmm.

- We had to sleep in my dad's plane

'cause we spent all of our money on the tickets.

- Yeah.

Whoa.

Riley, I...

- Ooh. I, uh...

I read that wrong, didn't I?

- It's just Hayley and I, we're, we're serious.

It's, um...

something special.

- Well, I hope she's smarter than I was.

I hope she knows to appreciate you.

- She does. And I appreciate her, too.

Yeah. [clears throat]

- So, um, 933,

what exactly happened to the oil cap?

[gentle music]

[birds chirping]

[inhales and exhales deeply]

- Good morning, sunshine.

You know, maybe getting hit by that car

was actually good luck if it means waking up next to you.

[chuckles]

- Wyatt,

I need to tell you something.

There's something that you need to know.

- What is it?

[unsettling music]

- Help! Just don't move. Help! - What are you...

- I need help over here! Bring the gear!

- What do you mean? What's wrong?

- Just don't get up. Don't get up, okay?

Just, just stay there. He's... he's got a blown pupil.

He was complaining about headaches yesterday.

[Hayley] Is Wyatt okay? What's going on?

- Could be a bleed from getting hit by the car.

- I thought his CT was clear?

- It must have been a slow bleed.

We need to get him to a hospital.

- Okay, I'll call Wheezer. But it's at least

a six-hour hike to the airstrip

if we don't get across that river.

- Wyatt, can you stand?

- Yeah, I think so.

[dazed grunt]

- Okay, no, we don't have six hours.

Okay, everyone, listen up. This isn't training anymore.

One of our own is hurt, and at SkyMed,

we take care of our own.

So, we're gonna set aside all the bullshit

and we're gonna get Wyatt across the river

and out of here, stat. Is that clear?

[all] Clear! - Let's go.

[gripping music]

- Thanks for letting me know. Great.

- Hey, I heard what happened. How's Wyatt?

- Crystal said his CT found a slow cerebrospinal fluid leak.

That can cause a blown pupil. But it's much less severe

than a bleed. So, they're going to drain it

and he should be okay. - She'll keep us posted?

- Ugh, team building definitely didn't go how I was hoping.

- Hmm. - Crystal tell you

she's leaving?

- Yeah.

- You were right, SkyMed isn't the same.

I really thought that I could just make everyone

like each other. Like, I could...

Like, I could just make us a family.

But now, I just don't want anyone to die

while I'm in charge.

- Well, Hayley, in my experience,

that is being a parent.

What? Um...

I just, I got something I need to tell you.

Just last night, Riley and I were working late.

We were talking about old times, and she kissed me.

I... I don't think it meant anything.

I think that she just got caught up in the old memories,

but I stopped it right away. I told her how serious we were.

It's not gonna happen again, but I just, I...

I needed you to know that.

- Okay.

Well, tomorrow's gonna be awkward

when I have to ask her for money for more staffing.

- Well, she left this morning before you came back.

I guess something came up at SkyMed Pacific,

but she's gonna be back soon to make arrangements

for the new Learjet.

- Wait, we're getting a new plane?

- Yes, we're upgrading the fleet.

- And we can afford that?

- Well, we can if we put a... freeze on hiring.

- Wheezer, I'm short-staffed. You know that.

- Oh, shit, yeah.

- You and Riley made this decision without me?

Without the chief nurse? - No, it was not like that.

It was a flight ops decision. - Yeah, a flight ops decision

that affects medical. Wheezer, I need nurses

to staff your fancy new plane.

I already don't have enough people,

and you didn't think this would affect me?

- Hayley, I'm sorry. Riley was pushing it.

- Just like Riley was the one who kissed you.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on. It...

It was not like that. I told you that she kissed me.

- This is almost worse, Wheezer.

Making a decision that affects me,

that you would have included any other chief nurse in,

and you didn't even think you needed to tell me about it?

I know that you respect me as your girlfriend, Wheezer,

but it is very clear that you don't respect me as your equal.

[woman] Thank God you're here!

Please! Please! Please! You have to help my husband.

Rod's been having trouble with that trailer hitch.

But when he tried to load the trailer,

the hitch popped off. The whole thing fell on him.

- Okay, we got it.

[woman breathing nervously]

Breathing but tachycardic.

- Likely internal entries.

We got to get this thing off of him.

Hey guys, you're with me.

- Pressure's dropping.

We need to get him outta here fast.

- We're on it!

- All right. - You ready to lift?

- All right, on three. One, two, three.

[heroic music]

[music stops abruptly]

[monitor flatlines] - No pulse. He's arresting,

starting compressions.

- Give them some room to work. Please!

[dissociative undulating music]

[exhaling sharply]

[muffled] Stef!

[muffled] Hey! Stef!

[music stops]

[clearly] Stef!

[panicked music]

- Move!

Cardiac arrest following blunt trauma to the chest.

[sobbing]

- Are you okay?

What happened back there?

- I...

I think there's something wrong with me, Lex.

It's my brain. I just, I keep having all these

weird symptoms, and I... I can't... I can't.

- Hey, hey, I got you, okay?

I got you, okay? Okay.

Okay. Okay. [Stef sobbing]

- What's wrong with me?

[unsettling music]

- I love you.

- Okay, so Crystal and I have gone through your results.

- Whatever it is, don't sugarcoat it.

I want to know.

- Your MRI and your CT came back clean.

So did your blood work.

- What? How?

No, there has to be something.

I'm-I'm having all these symptoms.

- I know, but your results are normal.

- But I'm, I'm constantly exhausted.

And I've... I've been losing time.

Like, I'll be in the middle of doing something

and just suddenly wake up,

like I just sleepwalked through it.

I feel so foggy.

Like, I'm... untethered,

like I'm standing outside of myself.

Like, I don't feel like me.

I feel...

I feel empty.

- Stef, you went through a lot last year.

And you didn't take any time to deal with it.

I think you need a rest.

- Are-are you saying this is all in my head?

- Babe, I'm sure that's not what she's saying.

- No, no, this is... this is very real.

I think you have burnout.

It's very common in first responders.

I think you need a break from the job.

- What? No, no, this job is my life. It's who I am.

No, I-I... I shouldn't need a rest.

I should be able to just keep going.

- But burnout doesn't work like that.

I mean, the more pressure you put on yourself to keep going,

the worse it gets.

- No, no, I'm... I'm fine. - Hey, Stef.

- Look, I don't, I don't need a break.

I just need to get my shit together.

- Stef,

as chief nurse,

I have to put you on leave.

- What?

- You're not fine.

And you can't just get your shit together

with something like this. It's not safe for you,

and it's not safe for the patients.

You need treatment.

I'm going to refer you to a therapist.

- No, okay. Look, maybe some 12-step program

worked for you.

But there is nothing wrong with me.

You said it yourself, my test results are all fine.

Hayley, this is my career.

- And you're a good paramedic.

- No, I'm a great paramedic.

And you're barely chief nurse.

- Hayley, she didn't mean that.

Stef, wait!
