- Mm-hmm. - I stayed over just in case.

Everything was fine, and then she just collapsed.

I called Maya's mom, and she sent us straight to the ER.

- I convinced her not to jump on the first flight home

(sighing) What is it?

- Your lab results indicate hemodynamic instability.

- (friend): What does that mean?

- It means Maya's kidney stopped responding to dialysis.

She needs a transplant, and the sooner the better.

can cause complications.

- I don't care about the risks. Maya is my best friend.

We met in first grade.

I used to beat her up and take her lunch money.

Yeah. No, really. It was not my best look.

And then one day, Maya cut me a deal:

she said if I let her keep her money

that she would sit and eat lunch with me.

Once a week. - Haha!

- Which is all I really wanted anyway.

- How did she figure that out?

- She gets me.

Always has.

I need her to be OK.

I'm kind of like in this situation.

- Yeah. I don't know how much help I'm gonna be.

I've already broken rule number one this morning.

- Never mix coffee cups with the urine cups.

- Never promise your patient anything and definitely don't

promise to save them from God's wrath.

And if he wakes up with one leg? - Whoever this patient, you need

to transfer him. You make bad choices around religion.

- I do not! - Remember our road trip?

You threw a Gideon Bible at a motel clerk, and we had to sleep in the car.

- That was different; he was trying to convert us.

He's lucky all I threw at him was a Bible.

- No, this is your blind spot. - I'm already in neck-deep.

- Well, good luck with that.

- Incoming mom. Only 21 weeks into her pregnancy,

possible signs of labour. - Is 21 weeks even viable?

- 21-weekers have a 90% mortality rate,

but if we can buy another week, we triple her chances.

Otherwise, all we can provide the baby is comfort care.

- "Comfort care"? - That's the current policy.

Get her on magnesium and corticosteroids.

We need to do everything we can

to make sure she does not go into labour.

Code pink! Page NICU, RT. I need an incubator

What's happening? Isn't she supposed to be crying?

Tell me she's OK! - She's fading.

How's old the baby? - Too young to resuscitate.

- Please, you have to save her.

She was fine until... until today.

- In this hospital, the baby's born at 21 weeks,

there's nothing we can do except provide comfort care.

- What is that?

- We make the dying process as painless as possible.

- What?! I'm supposed to just let my baby die?!

- Are you sure about her age?

She's not 22 weeks?

- She's 22 weeks. I swear!

- She's 22 weeks! Baby's 22 weeks!

I did the math, she's 22 weeks old.

- I thought she looked big for 21 weeks.

Prep to intubate for oscillator! And where is NICU?

- OK, come on. - You, I will deal with you later.

- I'm Dr. McGowan. Are you Ezriel's father?

- He saved my leg. Thank you, Nurse.

- You had a compound comminuted fracture,

so we repaired your artery and stabilized the break.

- The Creator giving you a second chance.

- You know, God or the miracle of modern medicine.

We'll have you back on the court in no time.

- You went to the basketball court instead of shul?

Answer me please.

- Yes. I know you warned me that basketball will--

- Will take you away from your shiva,

away from your studies, yes.

- You'll have the next couple of months to hit the books hard.

What with the physio

and surgery. - And a bone graft.

- Uh, more surgery?

The graft, where does it come from?

- Called an allobone graft; harvested from a deceased donor.

- You want to put a dead leg inside of me?!

- Dead goyim leg from anyone?

An Arab? A woman? - Or, God forbid, an Arab woman.

Look, you can't be lugging this metal cage around--

- No. I don't consent. - Ezriel, without

this next step, you will never walk properly again.

- Which means forget about basketball.

- Which is obviously what He wants.

It's God who heals what He creates.

- Lexi's not a match?

- How did you know?

- You get used to the bad-news face.

- You need an O negative kidney;

Lexi is a B negative. I'm so sorry.

- I shouldn't have gotten your hopes up.

- Stop. I have been sick for years,

and no one else has ever offered me a kidney.

- What's next? - We just keep our eye

on the transplant list. - I have a week.

We both know my number's not getting called.

Uh... look, my parents land tomorrow,

so you should get back to school.

Don't you sit around this awful place

waiting for me to kick it.

- That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

I'm not leaving you.

- I wish I could say the same thing.

(indistinct chatter) - Grace. Grace.

I hear you have a rare B neg kidney.

- Uh, yeah. My patient wants

to save her friend, but the recipient is O neg.

- I taught you better than that.

Step back and take a God's eye view. Lexi Grant just gave you

exactly what you need. I have a domino set up

and ready to go. It just needs a B neg kidney to kick it off.

- So, if Lexi donates her kidney to the domino,

then Maya gets the kidney that she needs?

- Yeah. As long as the HLA testing is compatible.

- What do I have to do to make it happen?

- I'll take care of it. Oh!

By the way, I could use your help with something.

- What exactly?

- I need your help to put an end to those rumours about me.

- Rumours? - I know that last surgery

really shook you up, and you're still making sense of it.

But you know me,

I'm not a bad guy.

So if I do this for you and trigger this domino,

whatever that story is will go away, right?

- Yeah, of course.

- Great.

His mom was tested, but she's not a match.

- And I know how she feels. - But there is a patient

who Kyle's mom does match at City General.

So if she donates to another patient, then we can

build a domino chain long enough to loop all the way back to Kyle again.

- Wow! - Dr. Hamilton

needs a B negative kidney, like yours, to close the loop.

You donate your kidney to Kyle,

and then Maya gets a kidney from someone else in the domino.

- So Maya doesn't get my kidney,

but she gets someone's kidney? - That's right.

And with your kidney, we can save six lives this way.

For this to work, the surgery needs

to happen almost immediately.

- Yeah, I'm in.

What do I have to do? - Well, this is the part where you need your mom's OK.

- She doesn't even know I'm here yet.

(small sigh)

- Uh... Hey, Red, how's your day going?

- Huh?

- Right. So...

- What the hell is this? - OK, man.

You already paid me for the stuff I gave you, we're good.

- This is your advance on your next delivery, OK?

A little something to inspire expediency.

- That was a one time thing. - Haven't you seen

any movie ever? Once you're in,

you're in. - Look, man, I was desperate;

that doesn't mean I'm gonna be syphoning drugs for you.

- Look at my face. I know I look soft and cuddly,

I get it, but my bosses, not so much.

- Red... Shit.

- The preemie is stable for now. Mom?

- Resting, trying to get her strength up

to visit her baby this evening. - If her baby lives that long.

- I know she has an uphill battle ahead of her-- - The reason we don't

resort to medical intervention with 21-weekers

is because the procedures are extremely painful,

and most of the time, they still die.

- So we just throw in the towel?

Ebola has a 10% survival rate;

should we just send the patients home?!

- A micro preemie can't consent, and it can't

say no. They cry for us to stop, but don't know

why we're hurting them. Some people think

comfort care is the most compassionate medicine.

- But what do you think?

- There's no easy answer.

But her lungs are two little rocks, and she's got

a hole in her heart; you're walking Mom through next steps.

nothing beats them.

- So when did my daughter start talking about donating

a kidney? - Her surgeon's in there, he'll

answer any questions you have. - Thank you.

- You're OK working with Dr. Hamilton again?

- Why did you have

to tell him? - I just... I just thought

if he knew someone was watching, he'd think twice

about trying anything else. - Who exactly

is watching? A couple of junior nurses?

- I didn't mean to make things worse.

- He traded me this domino to put an end to the rumours about him.

- Wait. Now he's trying to silence you?

Grace, you can't let him win. - He already has.

But if Maya's gonna get the kidney she needs,

then maybe some good can come of it.

- Where's your father? - He went

to see if there's anything kosher in the vending machine.

- There's barely anything edible in there.

Look, without this surgery,

your leg will heal six inches shorter.

You will never be able to play basketball again.

- How can I live with myself knowing I went against God?

And my father, he'll never accept me.

- So, this isn't just about God.

You're worried you'll disappoint your dad.

OK.

In First Samuel,

King David was starving. He went into the temple

and ate the bread of Presence off of the altar.

Now, that was the holiest of bread,

it belonged to God, but He understood that David had

a human need that superseded devotion.

God will understand this too.

He heals, but He also forgives.

- (man): Interesting theory. - Aba.

- The nurse knows First Samuel,

very illuminating. I'd like to hear more.

- The nurse is right here.

- He can't acknowledge you.

- Well, in that case, I have other patients.

If you'll excuse me.

- You could end up on dialysis or even on the transplant list

yourself. - Any major surgery

requires recovery time. For some patients, it can take up to a year.

- Whose side are you on? - If you do this,

it means to be in full appreciation of the risks.

The possibility of damage to the nearby organs,

some patients have allergic reactions--

- But I'm healthy. - It's true,

Lexi is a strong candidate. - Sweetheart, you're 17,

and you have your whole life ahead of you.

If you do this, it could cost you 10 years.

- If Maya doesn't get a kidney, she dies now.

- I'm sorry.

My answer's no.

to let a kid undergo a risky treatment?

- When it was in the patient's best interest.

But for an elective surgery, you don't stand a chance.

- Lexi's gonna turn 18 next year, and then she won't

need permission, but Maya's not gonna live that long.

- My kids are the reason I got sober.

No way I'd let Ella donate a kidney.

If I give the OK and she ended up with organ damage or worse--

- And what if Ella needed the kidney?

Hmm?

- Then, I'd move heaven and earth to get it to her.

(Lexi crying)

- Sorry. I can't cry

in front of Maya, so...

- Believe me, I have cried

in this bathroom. These walls can hold a lot.

- I just can't handle this feeling.

The fix, it's right here,

but I can't...

- You're doing all the right things.

- She's still gonna die.

I can drive at 17;

how many kids die in car accidents?

And yet somehow, I'm not old enough

to know that saving Maya's life it's worth the risk.

- Hmmm...

there might be one last thing we could try.

It's called a consent and capacity hearing.

- You're taking me to court?

Is this a joke? - It's not court,

it's a mediation. - They'll hear Lexi's side first

and then yours. - My daughter could die on that table.

- This is how the hospital resolves disagreements

about medical care. - This is not a disagreement!

It's not even a discussion! Lexi, I'm in charge until you're 18!

- Which the board will take into consideration.

- Oh, what... - If she dies,

and I could have done something to help her,

I will never forgive you.

- I don't care if you don't like me...

as long as you're safe.

- Before we were friends,

I was...

I was so angry.

I had no one.

Mom, she saved my life.

- I'm your mom, baby,

not hers.

- If the board sides with you,

then I will accept their decision,

but I have to try.

- Owen. Bella's boyfriend. Got here as fast

as I could. - Nazneen, her nurse.

Your baby was born very early.

I'm afraid the odds are not in her favour.

There are some things that we can do to improve her chances,

but we need to decide right now

what level of intervention you're prepared to take.

She's not breathing properly, so she's on a oscillator.

But she'll need surgery.

It's invasive and... very painful.

- But this surgery, it'll save her life?

- It may keep her alive for a couple of days,

but she'll need a string of procedures like this--

- Stop. Please.

Someone in the NICU said that she only has a 10% chance.

10%

and she'll be suffering the whole time.

- To be clear, she won't survive without this operation.

- But with it,

we're not sure either? - We don't have much experience

treating preemies this small.

- We're gonna torture her, and then she's gonna die.

That's cruel.

- So we leave her to die? - No.

No, no. She'll be with us.

And we'll be together as a family until she...

She'll know that we love her.

- What if she's a fighter

and then we let her go? - How do we live

with ourselves knowing that we made her last hours hell?

- But she still has a chance!

- Maybe, but...

Whatever. I won't be a part of this.

I'm grateful my son is alive,

As a father, I want what's best for him,

This choice is up to you.

Trust in medicine or in prayer.

Someone like Lexi Grant.

You have raised a daughter

She's lived with Maya through

all the ups and downs of her chronic illness, and she fully appreciates

the risks of what she's asking to do. I'd like to ask the board

to consider that,

and that we respect this young woman's autonomy.

- Any word from the hearing? - Not yet.

But there are a whole lot of people who care about you

trying really hard to make the right decision.

- It doesn't matter if they rule against me.

If there's a kidney out in the world for me, Lexi will find it.

- She's certainly leaving no stone unturned.

- Lexi needs to do everything she can.

- What about what you need?

- This is a non-disclosure agreement.

- Yeah, that's standard procedure between two hospitals

that are collaborating. Protects both parties from

- You were brilliant. - I need to see her.

- I'll see if she's awake. - OK.

♪♪ (indistinct intercom message)

- What?

- Maya, she didn't make it.

- How is she doing? - She's stable.

Any word from Maya's surgical team?

- It's not clear yet,

but they had problems ventilating her.

Couldn't oxygenate her.

- How did all of this go sideways?

♪♪

- Grace, make damn sure Lexi knows she did everything right.

- Where's Maya?

- Maya didn't wake up. - What do you mean?

- She suffered a pulmonary arrest

during surgery. - No.

- She didn't make it, sweetie, I'm so sorry.

- Why?

- I'm so sorry.

(Lexi crying)

- Just put two fingers on her chest, she'll know

you're here. - Will I hurt her?

- Skin-on-skin therapy is the best tool we have

to heal micro preemies.

- All these machines,

did I do the right thing?

I know my baby is dying...

...but what am I supposed to do?

- There's a little girl in San Antonio...

...born at 21 weeks.

The doctors had to revive her twice.

She survived a heart operation,

and then both her lungs collapsed.

She had five blood transfusions

But she just started the first grade,

and she's fine.

At 9 p.m.,

your baby will have made it through the first 12 hours...

...and that's huge.

(siren blaring)

(indistinct chatter)

- Uh, hey.

- Dev...

Do you need more help studying for your exams?

- No, no, I came to see you.

I'd... I'd like to take you out to dinner.

- Like...

as a friend or... a date?

- Or a thank you for all your help.

But mostly a date, yeah. (Naz chuckling)

- I'd like that.

There is one thing I've been thinking about.

You asked me why I'm not a doctor.

- Yeah, yeah. You're smart enough.

- So, nursing is for people who can't cut it in med school?

- No. No. Hey, look, uh...

doctors are nothing without nurses,

but nurses are...

support staff. - My job isn't

to support you, Dev;

it's to support my patients.

What if it was the worst day of your life and no one cared?

Like, people ignore you, walk on by

or they fire empty clichés,

like, "You'll get through it"

as they back away.

You need so much for someone to just look you in the eye

and say, "You're right,

"this is shit, it hurts,

"but it's OK if you fall apart a little

because I've got you."

- The day Veer OD'ed, the doctors abandoned us

because there was nothing they could do

to fix it.

Yeah, I was... so scared.

But then you were there.

- Because I'm a nurse.

♪♪

- I thought we had this one.

- I know. I thought Maya was out of the woods,

that all we had to do was get her to surgery.

- The hearing, the transplant,

all of that and none of it mattered.

- Hey, that's not true. Five people went home healthy

because of Lexi's bravery.

- Just not her person. - No.

Not her person.

Grace, I was wrong about Dr. Hamilton.

You're the expert here, so whatever you need to do

or not do, I'm in your corner.

- I just got my life back,

but pretending like nothing happened is killing me.

- I feel you because no matter what you do, you're screwed.

- Yeah.

- Then if you're screwed either way,

Grace, you can just do whatever you want.
