With all the pressures of running a hospital, Turk and I had come up with a

way to stay mentally and physically fit. I'm really enjoying our man walks.

I'm not calling them that. Fine, how about dude cruises? Use it in a

sentence. Tomorrow night, I'm going to meet Turk in the park for a dude cruise.

Bro strolls it is.

Next topic.

I finally made it to the pre-teen years of my memoirs, and I still haven't

gotten your notes.

You want my notes? When you said Smurfette was the first woman to water

the fertile soil of your sexual garden, I had to stop reading.

I'll smurf my smurf to her. But I'd rather you date a cartoon lady than that

hospital administrator.

You're such a gargamel.

Her name's Cassie. Don't say it like that. I don't trust her. She's already

made cuts to my department. She's replaced everything with the cheap

stuff.

Gesundheit.

Turk, she's not watering down the anesthesia. Yet.

Oh, man, she's gonna seduce you, and you're gonna let her do whatever she

wants around here. Look, I know most hospital administrators are corporate

shills, but Cassie's different. Oh, really? So then you don't mind if I go

over there and ask her intentions with this hospital, huh? Or with you? Oh, in

fact, Turk, I would welcome it. Oh, really? Good. Here I go. Go, go, go, go.

I'm sorry. I'm coming in to get you.

I hear you, buddy, but I don't see you.

I'm not leaving until you forgive me.

Don't even think about pushing me into that pile of leaves. You know what's in

there. Oh, Turk, Leaf Man is a legend. No one's ever seen him.

Leaf Man!

I can't do this all.

One thing about working with my ex, it wasn't always easy to keep our personal

and work lives separate. J.D., do you have a minute?

Ollie is in love with some girl, and he refuses to tell me anything about her.

And I don't know why. All I did was burst into tears, tell him he was too

young, and make him watch Little Women with me. Don't worry, Elliot. I'll come

over tonight and help with the talk. If you do it alone, Ollie will be 30,

wondering when his woo-woo is ever going to find a bajingo.

Well, your woo-woo finding my bajingo is how we got into this whole mess in the

first place. You put on Sade, Elliot. What did you think was going to happen?

As for the new lady in my life, Cassie and I were trying and failing to keep it

professional. This vestibule is technically outside the hospital so we

can safely flirt.

What do you got, big boy?

Will you go to dinner with me tonight?

Is this a business dinner or a wine-soaked evening of workplace conduct

violations? Oh, well, wine burns my tummy. I have a tear in my esophageal

sphincter. Your sphincter's safe with me.

I know what you're both doing. Enjoy your slut hallway.

Okay, guys, Mr. Reynolds here is in a medically induced coma.

We need the brain swelling to go down. I know most workplaces have Taco Tuesday,

but here at Sacred Heart, we have Cerebral Edema Friday.

Okay? Need all hands on deck.

No one's dying on our watch. Let's go.

Come on.

Yeah. High fives all around.

Hey, can I talk to you really quick? About the no one's dying thing?

Obviously, like, a lot of these people are gonna die, but you can't really end

a speech like that.

No, my grandma called me, and she has this really thick, wet cough. It's kind

of like... I know what a cough sounds like. I think she has pneumonia, and she

does not trust doctors, like, at all. I had to tell her I was a hairdresser, and

I panicked and gave her cornrows.

Anyways, I'm supposed to work tomorrow, and I'm like... Hey, Tosh, don't even

worry about it. Go be with your grandma.

Thank you. Yeah.

You're the best.

Grant, anybody ever tell you you're a chump?

Just two hours ago, Amara told you she wanted tomorrow off for a death in the

family. I didn't get to say goodbye.

I have to do surgery.

You relax.

I'll get you there.

I don't want to be mad at that, but that was pretty hot.

Clearly, one of them is lying to you. Come on. What kind of person would lie

about a sick or dead relative?

Interns. They work 80 hours a week and haven't slept enough in a year to know

right from wrong. And despite what that poof of chest hair poking through your

scrubs might suggest, I don't think you're men enough to call them on it.

It's been a minute since I've known my wife biblically, God.

I'm gonna need you to come through.

If you plan on granting my prayers, please give me a sign because it will

affect what I have for lunch. Amen.

Oh,

you don't mind, do you? I have a solo at church Sunday.

Absolutely not. Sit down. The chapel is for everybody.

What's she doing here?

I don't know, but I do not like that woman. Did you guys say something? Are

you talking to me? No, we are not.

I heard she's gonna cut the budget on the break room. She better keep her

hands off my seasonal creamers.

Okay, now you guys are staring at me and talking really quietly, so I'm just

gonna scooch on over. No scooching. You're late. I'm scooching.

Coming in.

Wow, what an amazing space.

I feel like I can really find the answers in here.

Can I get an amen?

No. Okay, I'm just gonna scooch on out. God is good. All the time.

Hey, Dr. Dorian, there is a problem with one of our geriatric patients.

Mr. Frankel, yeah. He discovered the air vent.

No, it's Miss Croft. She's freaking out and nothing's working to calm her down.

It's 4.30. She's sundowning. Walk with me.

A lot of patients with dementia have symptoms that get worse towards the

evening. I'm on the ceiling!

I'm on the ceiling!

She's been hallucinating. Please get me down!

I keep telling her everything's okay, but it's just making her more upset.

I could sympathize with Mrs. Croft. I couldn't always control my thoughts

either.

Sometimes you have to meet patients in their reality. Come on. Come on, please.

I'm coming up there, Mrs. Croft.

You have to get me down. I'm going to come up there and be with you. I don't

know how much longer I can stay up here. Okay, I'm coming up.

I can't look. I'm climbing up to be with you, okay?

All right.

Okay. I'm up here with you.

I'm up here with you. Give me your hand.

You're safe. You're not alone anymore.

You're very brave to be up here all by yourself.

What do you say we go back down to the ground together now, though, okay?

You can do it. Just close your eyes, take a deep breath.

Here we go.

We're going back down to the ground. It's like a fun ride.

Remember the rides at the amusement park when you were a kid?

It's just like that.

And now we're safe on the ground again.

And you can close your eyes and relax.

I'm here, okay?

Guys, as your chief resident, I should be doing a lot more for you.

Tosh, I put together a little care package for your grandma.

A little honey to soothe her throat. A little bit of codeine. Gonna smoke them

if you got them. She loves codeine. Thank you.

And Amara, you just lost someone in your life. I didn't even ask who it was. I

would love to know.

I care.

It was a cat.

My aunt's cat. Stop being so nice. Your aunt's cat.

I'm appalled, Amara. Shut up, Tosh. Your grandma's fine. She crocheted the bikini

top you're wearing to the music festival you're actually going to.

Oh, my God, you are staying for your shifts. And you're working all of the

holidays. I'm talking Labor Day, Arbor Day, Hanukkah. All eight nights.

Great. I have plans on the seventh night. No one cares.

Ellie and I may have split, but nothing brings you together like a common enemy.

In this case, our son's budding sexuality.

Always be respectful, get consent, and remember the most important sexual organ

you have.

Your ears. Ew, what? Ew, what? For listening, J.D. I meant be a good

listener. Ollie, how deep a crush is this? Do you hear, like, music when you

see her? Because when I used to see your mom, I'd hear American Girl by Tom

Petty. Who's Tom Petty? Tom Petty's the picture your mom takes to the hair

salon. Yeah, similar.

Cheekbones and shoulders.

Uncle Turk and Aunt Carla already gave me the talk.

You said Dad wouldn't be able to explain the bases, right? What? I can't believe

it. I might not know sports, but I know the lady bases.

Listen, I gotta go. I love ya.

We know, Dad.

Please stay.

We're about to watch a movie.

This is the part of being broken up that never gets easier.

I can't, buddy. I gotta go to work. I love you.

The mind is a mystery.

Sometimes the smallest moment can make you long for the past.

even as you're trying to look to the future. Hey, you.

I'm excited to head out to dinner soon. I'm so sorry I have to reschedule. The

board is all over my butt about an ex-quarter's budget.

Well, I get it. It is a very nice butt. Very nice?

It must be these quarteries, because it's usually fantastic.

Okay.

Your butt is fantastic.

Medically. Medically speaking.

Sometimes your mind can fool you into thinking someone's on your side.

Hey, what's going on in here?

Your boss lady wants to turn this place into a coffee shop.

Even when they never were.

What? Well, where's everybody supposed to pray?

You're standing in it.

Prayer Square?

Poor Mrs. Croft's mind was turning her whole world upside down.

I'm not going to sleep.

I don't want to start seeing things again.

That's okay.

I'll just sit here with you.

Why don't I play that song you told me you love?

You know, music can help you remember a happier time.

To my horror, at the point of no return, my mother opened the door. Our eyes met.

And now, Victoria's secret was our secret.

I'm so sorry, Mrs.

Croft. I've been laying down my memoirs, and you weren't supposed to hear that.

Here we go. This is the song I wanted to play.

This was a song that was playing when Joe proposed to me. I remember.

You told me. It was the most romantic moment of my life.

I can still see his face when I said yes.

That is so sweet.

Why don't you just try and stay in that happy memory?

I'll sit here with you till you fall asleep, okay?

As for my mind, it was playing the same old tricks it always did.

I started thinking of my own happy memories of Elliot.

Just

hold

me tight and tell me you'll miss me While I'm

alone and blue as can be

Dream a little dream of me. What am I worried about?

Elliot and I are just two parents here to talk about our kid.

Well, she was an American girl.

Raised on promises.

See?

Now, I know you're not shrinking down to chapel because you said that room had

the answers.

Yes, to my question of how do I turn this space into a moneymaker.

Was that not clear?

You are evil.

Now, you've left me no choice.

Nurse Dubois!

Oh, hi. You think you're the bitch who runs this place?

But I'm the bitch who runs this place.

Tell her, bitch.

And once I spread the word about you, the reckoning will be fierce.

Fierce.

Wait up.

So I followed Ollie's crush on Instagram.

A lot of videos of her making slime in a pretty lame Laboo Boo collection.

I don't think she's smart enough for him. I once watched Ollie put his pants

on after his shoes, Elliot.

I think they'll be a fine match.

You ready?

This is one of the hardest things about getting divorced.

Having no one to go split-seas with. My life was all surf and no turf.

For me, it was night.

All of night.

Yeah, that was hard for me, too.

I sprayed your perfume all over a weighted blanket, put an ice pack on my

legs to remind me of your feet. Aw, so creepy.

Oh, please. Like, you didn't have any weird ways of getting over me?

You know that trainer at our gym that always called you pops?

I slept with him right away. Cody? Yes. You know, he hit on me, too. He told me

I needed to try new things. I thought he meant leg day.

He did not. You should have done it.

She threw me around like a kettlebell. Oh, yeah. Cody's strong. We wrestled a

bit in the yoga room.

Look, Grant, should I have lied about my grandma being sick? No.

But this is not just about a music festival. It's a symbol of all the

things I've missed in my 20s because of this job.

All the weddings, birthday parties, even stupid stuff like riding a train and

pretending I'm the main character of a movie while listening to music and

thinking I'm just about to be absolutely railed by Jacob Elordi.

I just want one memory outside of this hospital.

No.

Maybe you can go to the ICU and rave to the sound of the beeps.

Look, I'm in a really hard job, and I've learned just to give it to people

straight. I like your friend, and I want to bone him. Excuse you? How's the Lord?

I heard you begging the big man for booty earlier. Yeah, well, he hath

forsaken me, because Carla already said she's tired, so I ate a burrito. So what

I'm hearing from you is that you want me to like you, so J.D. will.

Yeah? I can do that.

If you save the chapel.

Okay, okay. We both know hospitals like this one, they're closing everywhere

because they're losing money.

And the board asked me to lay off six nurses.

And your friend Nurse Duval was on that list.

So I came up with this plan so I didn't have to do that one.

Thank you.

You're already regretting giving me that, aren't you?

But I can tell you feel guilty because that's going to keep me warm inside.

Look at us. If someone was walking by, they'd have no idea we ruined the lives

of two marriage therapists.

Well, to be fair, Teresa came in with her own baggage. Nobody smiles that much

if they're really doing fine. You know, I once saw her at the farmer's market

screaming at someone for not composting.

Why didn't we work?

We should have worked. I know.

But we didn't.

Maybe the fact that we can still be friends is our happy ending.

I've just gone over it so many times in my head and I feel like I just never had

any clarity about it because I was so upset about how you ended things. But

with some distance, I think I can see, I understand a little bit more.

You know, when I left Sacred Heart to start private practice, I thought it was

like the last piece in building this perfect future for us.

And then I wasn't happy.

I couldn't figure out why.

I think I lost my purpose, and I didn't know how to be the guy that you fell in

love with anymore.

That's what the whole in sickness and health thing means, J.D.

That's what I promised you.

I could have helped you, but we stopped talking.

I was kind of drowning, and I pushed you away, and I'm so sorry.

Thanks. I think it took coming back to Sacred Heart to remind me who I am. I

mean, I finally feel like myself again.

I can tell.

But, Elliot, I don't think I could ever really be myself without you.

Am I man enough for you now?

So which one was the liar?

Both of them, but I shut it down.

Oof. They look miserable.

Yep. What are you gonna do to lift them back up?

Lift them back up.

You don't break someone down and just leave them like that. What is wrong with

you? Okay, could you just give me, like, all the lesson at once? Like, this

piecemeal stuff is killing me.

We can't do this, Jeannie.

Every time we try, it ends badly.

It's only ended badly, like, four times.

I do think we're different now, you know? I'm...

I know, I just, I'm so clear on who I am and what I want and what's important to

me.

Helping my patients, being a great father, and loving you.

It only has to end right once.

Sometimes the things we hope for are the same things that break our hearts.

Whether it's giving up something you care about to save something that means

more. What are we gonna do about this?

Jesus says turn the other cheek.

Bitch, I didn't mean that.

Or sacrificing for a dream job.

You guys look pretty bummed.

Look, Blake, I don't know what's wrong with you.

I was timing my grandma's death for when the Bob Seger cover band was rolling

into town, and now that you're on to us, I just... That's not gonna happen.

Look, I feel really bad.

Not for you, Blake. That's really stupid what you just said.

But I wanted to show you something.

You guys worked hard all day, and now Mr.

Reynolds is going to make a full recovery.

And it makes it all worth it, right?

Good.

Because this will happen again.

Unfortunately, riding motorcycles is super cool, and we're not going to

convince people otherwise.

There you go. Thank you so much. The thing that broke my heart was getting

the life I wanted so badly and losing it.

Now can you stay and watch the movie with us?

I was never gonna lose it again.

Yeah, buddy.

I can.

just a perfect day drinks sangria in the park

and then later when it gets dark we

go home oh it's

such a perfect day glad i spent it

It's okay. I'm here. I'm here. I got you. You're not going anywhere.

Okay. I got you. You're safe.

Let's go down now, okay? Let's go back down.

Just take a deep breath.

Exhale it out.

You're safe, okay?

You're with me.

Okay.

Close your eyes.

Get some rest. I'm here.

I missed my family.

I missed her.

But I couldn't risk hurting her again.

Hurting my son.

Maybe some things are better left unsaid.

My love for Elliot would have to live on in my mind.

You know what that space was before it was a chapel?

It's where they lobotomized women in the 50s. Yeah, this guy tried to bring that

back, but then his wife died and he lost interest.

the good times will never have i'm buying all night cheers really

this is how you build them back up i'm messing with you it's perfect thanks for

the beer um

Hello. So when I said I was buying, I did just mean the interns.

Don't worry about it. I'll pay for all the drinks. And if you could not mention

your generosity, I'm trying to build a rapport with them. I will not tell them

that you are a cheap liar.

You guys are great. Thanks.

JD bought the drinks.

I know it was killing you. I prefer honesty.

The bell has rung and the laughs are back.

Join the teachers for another school day.

Abbott Elementary, now.
