- I knew Castro
was up to something,

but making her patients tumors
look worse

than they actually are
so that when they get better

it makes her trial
look more effective?

- So her trial's a sham.

- I don't know the extent
of it.

I only know that
she's falsifying her data.

- You have to take this to Max.
- I can't.

Max made it policy to go public
with our mistakes.

To own them.

If this gets out, New Amsterdam
will lose our NIH funding,

and that is millions
of dollars.

- What about Brantley?

- She'd just sweep it
under the rug

to avoid a PR nightmare.

- Well, then what are you
gonna do?

- Blow up her trial.

- [chuckles]

- I'd read about
pituitary veinous sampling.

I've never
actually seen it done.

- Many less experienced
neurologists

fear this procedure because it
requires a precise localization

Give me a moment, please.

Ella, I don't think
you should touch that.

We'll call her Callie

Well, Dr. Frome thought
it might be a good idea

animal to help manage my OCD.

And she's pretty much

Very cute.

Well, we'll see you at home.

Uh, it's for refusing
to go to school.

And, uh, your parents say you
came back about two weeks ago

a different kid.

Won't come out of your room,

skipping school, no.

Danica, why are you afraid

That's why.

How could you not tell me

Danica was in
a school shooting?

if there was a shooting
at our daughter's school.

- There wasn't.

- How was dinner with mom?
- Oh, it was great.

After 20 years,
I finally told her

what a nightmare it was

being raised
by such a raging alcoholic.

But instead of apologizing
and accepting responsibility,

she said she didn't
remember it.

- Wow.
She tried to gaslight you?

That's messed up.

- Guess I'll add that to her
list of irredeemable qualities.

- Yes?

- Why did you tell your mother
that our wedding

might not be in San Francisco

when you know
it definitely will be?

- It's called
"stepping out the truth."

- Mmm, it's called "lying."

And my one question is: how big
a going away party do you want?

- Oh, no, no, no, no.
[both chuckle]

No thank you.

Um, I'm trying to keep this
all low key.

- Not gonna happen.
- Of course.

- Well, look, my sisters and I
learned early that with Mama,

you gotta roll
the truth out gradually

- High profile case--we're
talking community backlash,

media circus, and a ridiculous
amount of money on the table.

HCC and the mayor's office
have already called

we don't screw it up.

- Who is it?
- George Whitney's family's

and wrongful death.

Every doctor involved
in his care

Okay, why are you stressed?
You're out of here, aren't you?

A patient died,
and we're being blamed for it.

- We didn't do anything wrong.

So all we can do now
is tell the truth,

and we're gonna be fine.

isn't about the truth.

It's about finding weak spots

"Go help her!"

But I couldn't move.

And then he shot her.

Mr. Marks was shoving a table
against the door.

Everyone was crying.

And I was just standing there,
staring at Megan on the ground.

Then the bell rang,

and the man stopped shooting,

and Megan got up.

And they told us
it was just a drill.

A stupid drill.

with blurred vision, shortness
of breath, and hemiparesis.

Tachy, hypotensive, and

- Any allergies, Mr. Whitney?

You taking any medications?
- No.

- Okay, let's get him
to trauma one,

and hook him up to a monitor
on O-2.

What do we got here?

- How many patients were
admitted that day

to the best of
your recollection?

- Eight patients,

all presenting
with the same symptoms.

- And what did the police say
happened to these people?

- Some sort of smoke device
went off

at a Middle Eastern
Street Fair.

- They were exposed
to more than just smoke.

- People complain of
a weird smell at the scene.

- Double vision, descending
paralysis, diaphoresis.

Botulism toxin.
- This was a terror attack?

- Casey, dilute one vile
of anti-toxin

in 100 cc's normal saline
and infuse as slow IV drip

Casey to give them.

our students' lives.

from a kid
that was in your drill,

or an MRI from a kid
that was in an actual shooting,

- They would be similar?
- They would be identical.

Right down to
the long-term problems,

from the fear, the depression,
the anger, the anxiety.

The full PTSD buffet.

Trauma doesn't happen
because you're in danger,

it's because you think you are.

Pretend school shootings

happens here.

I recognize that you are in

an impossible situation here,
but there are alternatives.

There are desktop
training programs.

One where the kids don't have
to act out traumatizing events.

Because all that does
is make them believe

that they've already
been through one, like Danica.

- Well, I'm sorry about Danica,

but I haven't heard
any other complaints.

have checked in

okay, how much can substance
abuse affect someone's memory?

degree to which it was abused.

Genetics can also be a factor.
Why are you asking?

- Um, I abused Adderall
for a while.

Now I'm forgetting things.

- What kind of things?

- Details about a day

that I should've remembered
everything about.

And my alcoholic mother says

she can't remember
the last 15 years, so,

I don't know, given my stellar
gene pool and my own issues,

maybe I'm just--

- Lauren, there's
a significant difference

between the type of memory loss

associated with a lifetime
of substance abuse

and your situation.

- Are you sure?

- I see you every day.
I work with you every day.

There is nothing

is much more serious.

And very real.
She may never remember.

after you made the decision

to perform the more invasive
LVAD procedure?

- Yes.

Dr. Reynolds had already
cracked the chest

when I saw the tattoo.

- Thank you, Dr. Nottingham.

Uh, you can go.

- Evie, I'm impressed.

You're even interviewing
the residents.

So, what's
the hospital's liability?

- Dr. Goodwin, Dr. Bloom,
and Dr. Reynolds--

none of them caused
George Whitney's death.

- That's good to hear.

- But if I put any of them
on the stand,

the plaintiff's attorney
will rip them to shreds.

- Why?

- They all made choices that
would appear suspect to a jury.

I know this will be
a big pay out,

but to avoid a bigger one,
we need to settle.

- [sighs]

[fast-paced percussive music]

- Oh, he's coming in hot.

- Forgive me, Ella,

but your cat cannot enter
our home.

- Why?
- You know me.

I'm--I'm educated,
and reasonable,

and modern, but to a point.

But black cats--wherever
they go, bad luck follows.

- So you're superstitious.

- Yes, and I'm ashamed
to admit it.

Because for you it may be
a silly superstition,

but for me it's real.

The stress this cat
has caused me is unbearable.

- I understand completely.

- You do?

- Unbearable stress
over irrational fears?

That's pretty much how my OCD
makes me feel every single day.

Like, sometimes I think
I'm losing it,

and I would never want you
to feel that way too.

- Does this cat
really help your OCD?

- Yeah, uh, so, um.

Like, if I'm obsessing
over something,

and I can't stop.

Like my pregnancy or what kind
of mom I'm gonna be.

Callie does this little thing
where she flips belly up

and then she tucks her head
under my hand.

It just gives me something else
to focus on.

It--she brings me back
to Earth.

[empathetic music]

- Then you must keep this cat.

♪

- Really?
Are you sure?

- Yes.
That's my final decision.

But there's one thing
you must do.

Change its name.

- What's wrong with Callie?

- Kali is a sacred
Hindu goddess.

Often associated with
the bloody death of demons.

It's okay.
You can say it.

I'm really sorry.

- For what?

kids deal with this problem

That's not fair.

We've received your
thoughts and prayers, thanks.

- But you know
what gives me hope?

- What?
- You.

You and your whole generation.
You've blown me away.

You're already taking on the
big issues way better than us.

Yeah, no pressure.

is to do the exercises,

the fear will subside.

You will feel safe again.

We all will.

- What?
No.

Listen, we can
work something out, okay?

You can start your trial over.
Here.

[fast-paced percussive music]

- No.
Thank you.

I need to be centered
on my research right now,

and I cannot do that here.

Not in my O.R.

You know, I remember
the first time knowing

I wanted to be a doctor.

I was learning

- Yep.

Died after
being refused service

in an all-white hospital.

Buried in an unmarked grave.

I knew right then that I wanted
to become a doctor,

But let me tell you one thing,
Dr. Reynolds.

If you ever step out the truth

exactly is the situation?

Castro hasn't changed since
