Things don't have to end

-between us.
-When's your flight home?

Tomorrow morning.

-Will I ever operate again?
-KIT: It will take months

of PT before you can even think
about operating again.

Rose, I can't imagine the pain

-you've endured.
-ROSE: I'm a dancer.

I was a dancer.

Now I teach dance
to high-risk kids.

Those girls, they're my life.

Let's stick to the only thing
that matters.

-How is Nic?
-Attack nearly killed her
and the baby.

Mentally,
each day's a little worse.

She has PTSD.

-Can't even make it
through the night.
-CONRAD: Nightmares.

-I know.
-They're getting worse.

Hi. Leela Devi.
New surgical intern.

Jessica Moore.
Old surgical nurse.

(chuckles)

You know the interns
usually pre-round at 5:00

and not 3:45, right?

When you get to know me,

you'll see
I tend to overprepare.

So, what's your story?

The hospital where I matched
shut down.

Financial losses from COVID.

It's been happening
all over the country. I'm sorry.

-But welcome to Chastain.
-Thanks.

Hey, um, when you have a minute,

I would love to learn
everything about your patients.

Not just the medicine.

Personal stuff, too.

-Seriously?
-Yeah.

Nurses always know more
than anyone, right?

(chuckles)

You're gonna take notes?

-I write everything down.
-Wow.

Okay. Well, um,

let's start over here.

So, we have Mr. Watts.
And he is the sweetest thing,

but if you talk
about his sailboat,

you'll never leave the room.

This place hasn't been the same
without you.

-Welcome back to work.
-I'm glad to be here.

Schlumping around the house
was getting old.

That's called healing,

not schlumping.

I'm excited to be back.

I'm just sad that
my first day's Billie's last.

Where are you headed?

Back home to Charleston
to figure out

-the rest of my life.
-(man shouts)

MAN:
Get your hands off of me!

-We're trying to help you, sir.
-Go to hell, all of you!

-DEVON: Let's go to 11.
-(man grunting)

One, two, three.

(all grunt)

Are you okay?

(man grunting)

That's the man who stabbed me.

♪ ♪

(grunting)

I'll get someone
to cover for me,

and then I'll take you home.

-I'll stay another day
to be with her.
-That's not necessary.

-I'll be with her.
-Okay, you guys
are overreacting.

No, we're not. This is
a trigger. You don't need this.

I won't be anywhere near him.
I don't even work this floor.

Now I'm worried about you.

Do I want to kill him
with my bare hands? Maybe.

Will I? No.

-Maybe you should go home.
-And leave you here alone?

NIC: Why would we let this guy
scare us off?

He's under armed guard.
He's handcuffed to the bed.

There's no reason
anyone has to leave.

If Nic wants to stay,
I'll stay with her. Conrad,

you can keep seeing patients.

NIC: I'm gonna head upstairs.

Promise you'll keep
your distance,

I promise I'll keep mine.

I won't let her out of my sight.

You take care of you.

Is that the guy?

Yeah.

-(man grunting)
-Not your problem.

Listen, we're gonna do
everything we need to do

and then send him back to jail
where he belongs.

Now, you steer clear.

-I need some help here!
-Come on, let's go.

Open left tib-fib fracture

after fall. Patient complaining
of abdominal pain.

-Vitals stable.
-Yeah, we just made our vows.

We were heading down a rickety
staircase when Megan...

I was pushed down the stairs
by a ghost!

Hotel's super haunted.

All right, here we go.
One, two and three.

Hundley,
let's give her two of morphine.

-(Megan whimpering)
-IRVING: Mild tenderness.

No rebound or guarding.

-We'll have to do an ultrasound.
-Stabilize the fracture here.

And then after that,
you will need

surgery to put the bones back
where they belong.

48-year-old, status
post three-vessel CABG postop

day one. Vitals stable.

Labs with a slight creatinine
bump to 1.2. No chest pain.

-Plans for the day?
-Send off urine electrolytes.

Repeat the creatinine
in the p.m.

Make sure he gets out of bed.

And his daughter's visiting.

I'll prepare to see her dad
in the hospital.

(timer beeps)

Strong work for an intern. Next.

Quicker this time.

You know how surgeons feel
about rounds. Overnight events?

None.
Chest tube drainage was only

20cc's, but she's very anxious.

-Plans?
-Clamp the chest tube,

repeat an X-ray. Hopefully
we can pull it later in the day.

And then maybe
she can visit the garden.

This is your first morning
at Chastain.

How'd you learn so much
about these patients so quickly?

I asked a really smart nurse.

Good job.

(monitor beeping steadily)

Does that happen often?

More and more lately.

I have Huntington's disease.

My father died of it.

It's probably the real reason
I fell down those stairs.

My balance
is getting worse and worse.

We got married
as soon as we realized

Megan inherited the gene.

I had a fifty-fifty chance,

and I lost that coin toss.

Symptoms started
soon after we fell in love,

and Megan knew what it was
right away.

Huntington's is brutal.
I know how bad this is gonna be.

I spent my childhood
watching my father waste away.

All the nerve cells dying until
there was nothing left of him.

IRVING:
This is Dr. Voss and Dr. Bell.

-You're in great hands, okay?
-Thank you.

-See you after surgery.
-MEGAN: Okay.

Looks like you broke
a few bones here.

I'll be taking you to the OR.

-(Megan whimpers softly)
-So, you have some fluid
in your abdomen

that shouldn't be there.

We'll get a CT

to confirm, but we'll likely
repair that in the OR, as well.

Okay.

Josko.

We-We're gonna miss
our honeymoon. I'm so sorry.

It's all good.
No worries. Don't worry.

Such a hard booking to get, too.

We were gonna stay at
the Stanley Hotel in Colorado.

The inspiration for The Shining?

I wouldn't set foot
in that place

-for all the Bitcoin in Iceland.
-(all laugh)

Our love of horror films
is what brought us together.

(sighs)
Honestly, Billie, you can go.

I'm fine.
You're gonna hit rush hour.

-A little traffic
doesn't scare me.
-Even on I-20?

Wow, you have been gone a while.

-I'm brave.
-(chuckles)

Hey, you feel like a coffee?

Oh, I'd love one.
Cream and two sugars?

I was thinking both of us
would hit the café.

Well, I'm just about
to start my rounds.

-Morning.
-Hello.

Go. I'm fine.

(sighs, chuckles)

-What?
-I just heard from my lawyer.

She says immigration
is demanding more proof

of my medical training
in Nigeria.

-Why?
-I don't know.
She said it's unusual.

Can't you just give them
what they want?

I don't know
if I can get the paperwork

out of Nigeria quick enough
to make the deadline.

And if I don't,

no visa. I'll be deported.

And once someone is deported,

it's nearly impossible
to get back in.

Why is this happening?

Is someone trying
to sabotage my career?

Where's Nic?

She left the floor
right after you did.

(Jay grunting)

Get off me.

-BILLIE: Nic.
-What are you doing?

-Yeah?
-Get out of here.
Okay? I got this.

-(Jay grunting)
-Here.

-Hey, are you a...
-Doctor? Yeah.

Hey. No.

Are you kidding?

You don't have privileges here.
That is illegal.

Pravesh,
I know that every broken rule

tears at your psyche,
but she was struggling,

-and this guy
needed to go to sleep.
-All right.

I got it from here.
Please just go check on Nic.

Pressure's 76/48.

What's going on?

Look at his neck.

We need an ultrasound.

Muffled heart sounds.
It's Beck's triad.

Pericardial effusion, there's
fluid around his heart.

Must have been too small to see
in the scan

when he first came in.

Page Dr. Austin.

We need to drain the fluid now.

BILLIE:
What the hell were you
doing in there?

I answered a code. It's my job.

That's the best you've got?

You gave me and Conrad
your word.

-I thought you had eyes on her.
-I was literally gone
five minutes.

Oh, my God,
do you guys hear yourselves?

So I went to see him.
That was up to me.

And you know what,
Lisa was in trouble,

-So I called for help.
It's over.
-Is it?

-Yeah, it is.
-Where you going?

I have a patient.

He's got a cardiac issue.

They'll fix it
and send him back to jail.

All's well that ends well...

if this was a one-shot deal.

Pressure's dropping.

-He's in tamponade.
-Devi, grab the ultrasound.

(monitor beeping rapidly)

Move it. This guy could code
while we wait on you.

-You want me to take over?
-No, give her a shot.

AUSTIN:
Move the probe up a bit.

Move it up.

What are you doing?
Put it back where it was

and rotate it cranially, now.

Incorrect!
Pravesh, take over.

Devi, get out of my sight.
Move it!

All right, that's a good visual,
Pravesh, thank you.

Entering the pericardial sac.

And... we're in.

Draining the effusion now.

All right?

(beeping slows)

AUSTIN:
All right,
he's stabilized for now.

Let's book an OR,
find the source and repair it.

Why are you still here?

Go.

You'd think a mid-year
surgical intern would know

-how to do an ultrasound.
-She certainly fooled me

during the rounds this morning.

-I thought she was
a potential star.
-(cell phone rings)

Oh, let me know if you need
anything, I gotta take this.

Yeah, go ahead, man.

Nadine, what a nice surprise.

Hey, Devon. Guess what.

I'm in Atlanta for my yearly
moyamoya checkup.

I'd love to stop by
and say hi.

Yeah, that'd be great.
I'd love to see you.

I get off around 7:00.

Can't wait.

And I, uh, have a surprise
for you.

What kind of surprise?

It wouldn't be a surprise
if I told you.

I'll see you later.

KIT:
This poor woman.

I wouldn't wish Huntington's
on my worst enemy.

BELL:
Well, hopefully we can
give her back

whatever quality time
she has left.

I hear Cain is back at Chastain
for the first time today.

Yes, for PT. I'm gonna check
on him after this. Rongeur.

-You know, I know you don't need
my advice...
-No, I don't.

I think you should
cut him loose.

He's more trouble
than he's worth.

You're probably right.

But we've lost so many doctors

since we went public.

We're struggling.

I had hopes for Cain's return.
Without him,

I may have to shutter
the neurosurgery department.

You said you were gonna
find replacements.

Believe me, I've tried.

Now, complete the word

by placing the correct block
on top.

-This is ridiculous.
-Think of them

as building blocks
to your recovery.

Look... (sighs) The more
you do it, the easier it'll get.

I'm not doing it again.
Let's move on.

In order to move on,
we need to complete each task.

So... begin again.

Do I look like a toddler?

Don't talk to me like one.

Don't act like one.

Tammy's just doing her job.
Have some respect.

Whoever you are, when I want
your advice I'll ask you for it.

Dr. Cain.

-Is there a problem?
-He's a doctor?

Dr. Cain is one of the top
neurosurgeons in the country.

Well, here's hoping my disease
never creeps upstairs.

I don't like her attitude.

That's Rose Williams,

-one of my favorite patients.
-Mine, too.

Never complains.
I love her

to the moon and back.

She obviously has no idea
what I'm going through.

You've had some bad luck,

but Rose has sickle cell
disease.

She's young and should have
her whole life ahead of her.

Instead, she has
a devastating diagnosis.

How's that new hip settling in?

(laughs)
It's feeling much better.

I'll be dancing again
in no time,

and I can't wait.

Good. Take your time.

There's no rush.

My office when you're done,
Barrett.

We need to talk more
about what happened.

You promised both
Conrad and me

you'd stay away from
Jay Pickering, and you didn't.

Why did you do it, Nic?

I'm still having nightmares.

I guess I'm still scared,
in a sense.

Maybe it helped to see him...

broken and weak.

I just need to stop reliving it
over and over again.

I mean, every time
I close my eyes...

Time will help all of that.

You remember when your mom died?

You and Jessie were devastated,
and you both began acting out.

Yeah.

And for several years,
you and I drifted apart.

Probably when we needed
each other the most.

I was terribly lonely.

There was this guy, a neighbor.

Started giving me attention.
You know, having me over

for one excuse or another.

He made me feel special.

Then one day he touched me
where he shouldn't.

And he raped me.

How old were you?

-Thirteen.
-(exhales sharply)

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't tell anyone.

I was ashamed.

It was difficult and painful.

I'm so sorry, Billie.

It took time, but eventually,
I broke his hold over me.

And that's what you have to do.

Move on.

Because if you don't,
you'll continue to be a victim,

and you've given him control.

The fracture has been repaired.
The surgery went well.

I'll be in in a sec.

-Hey.
-Hi.

-Those newlyweds gave me
an idea.
-Mm-hmm?

They got married at a spooky
hotel and are honeymooning

-at the Stanley Hotel.
-(chuckles)

Redrum.

-Redrum.
-Mm.

I love scary movies.

I say we make our wedding
our wedding.

-Mm-hmm.
-Personal.

-Special. Just for us.
-What'd you have in mind?

When did we have
the best time ever?

-Snorkeling in the Keys.
-Mm-hmm.

-But we can't leave Atlanta.
-Yes, but...

-I have an idea.
-Someone help!

JOSKO:
What is happening?

(Megan retching, gasping)

All right, call the blood bank
for two units, stat,

and page Conrad.
She's having a GI bleed.

-What happened?
-She said she felt sick

-and then blood was just
everywhere.
-Help me sit her up.

Pretty decent episode of
hematemesis,

Vitals stable.

All right, let's give her
a bolus of omeprazole, 80 mil.

And call Bell.
We need him here.

-This can't be from the fall.
-I don't think so.

Something else is causing
her GI bleed.

(coughing)

-Megan, stay with us.
Stay with me. Stay with me!
-(monitor alarm beeps)

Oh, my God.
Help her! Help her!

-Need to intubate now!
-Hey, Josko, you need
to wait outside!

-You need to wait outside.
-JOSKO: Sorry.

Can you prep the ET tube?

CONRAD:
Where's the pipe? Ah...

I can't see a damn thing.

All right, I see the cords.
Tube.

(machine beeping)

She's gonna need an endoscopy
to locate

the source of the
bleeding.

Yeah, and she needs that now.

-How's the new intern
been doing?
-Mixed bag.

Sometimes total confidence,
others a flailing mess.

Just like every intern.
Including you, Pravesh.

I think there's more
to it than that.

If you'd rather be an artist,
by all means go do it.

At least no one dies when
you color outside the lines.

Right now, you really should be
focusing on your patients.

Especially after
today's performance.

So kind of you to give me
that advice

on my first day at Chastain,
Dr. Pravesh.

Thanks so much.

Do you want to see
what I was drawing?

You don't know me
and I don't know you,

but you need to understand this.

There is nothing
that matters to me more

than learning to be
the best doctor that I can be.

And as far as my
performance goes,

when you were an intern,
did you perform flawlessly?

It's a learning process,

and I was rather hoping
you'd help me learn,

not tear me down.

CONRAD:
Hold on.

-Bulging vein at six o'clock
-BELL: Yeah, a variceal bleed.

I need to band it.

CONRAD:
I'll get her started on a drip.

Okay, I have the culprit.

Twisting the dial...

And the band is on.

Cutting off circulation
to the abnormal veins and...

...stopping the bleed.

So Megan was bleeding
due to varices.

She likely has cirrhosis.

Yeah, it explains why
her coags are off.

Liver disease.

-Drugs, alcohol...
-No.

When we took her history,

she said she only drinks
tea and seltzer.

I'll send off studies.

Hepatitis panel,
autoimmune serologies.

They have to tell us something.

Impressive.

I'm motivated.

I want my life back.

Me, too.

Sickle cell is, um, it's brutal.

Earlier today, I was, uh...

-I was a little...
-Oh.

I'll fight it
till my last breath.

I want to dance again.
It gives me a goal.

I can understand that.

I'm a surgeon

and I'm nothing
without my hands.

How did you hurt yourself?

I was hit by a car.

Oh. Damn. I'm sorry.

Well...

you'll cut again,
I'll dance again.

We're both fighters, right?

I think you have
a far harder road.

But good luck with that.

No, no wheelchair.

I'll be walking out of here
on my own two feet.

(clears throat)

In my career, I've found that

patients need to be honest
with themselves

about the prognosis.

And only then can they truly
plan for what the future holds.

Okay. It's a good point.

Based on
what I saw this morning,

you will
never likely operate again,

but you're honest with yourself
about that.

Right? (laughs softly)

Fine motor skills.

You couldn't even put one block
on top of another, so...

Good luck with that.

-Hey, Megan.
-Hey.

You have cirrhosis of the liver

and we need to find out why.

You already said
you're not a drinker.

-Just tea and seltzer.
It's all I do.
-Okay.

Um, have you ever had a hep B
or hep C infection?

No, not that I know of.

When you first thought
you had Huntington's,

what were the signs?

I started to be clumsy
all of the time

and then came the fatigue

and the memory loss,
difficulty swallowing.

I remember very similar symptoms
when they started with my dad.

(groans)

And this is a new one

that happens more and more
all the time.

Josko said it looks like

-I'm trying to fly away.
(laughs)
-Yeah.

-Put your arms up
like this for me?
-Yeah, yeah.

-Yeah, just a little higher.
Higher, higher.
-Yeah.

There we go.

(chuckles faintly)

Who diagnosed
your Huntington's, Megan?

Uh, I did.

Was it ever confirmed
by a doctor?

No, but I know what I have.

There's not really a treatment,
so, like...

-Hey, what's going on?
-Hey, hey, hey.

-Hey.
-Oh, it's okay. It's okay.

Hey, Josko, I...

need to run some more tests.
I'll be right back.

Okay. Hi.

Hey, baby. Yeah?

AUSTIN:
All right. You see the tear
in the right atrium?

That's why
he wouldn't stop bleeding.

MINA:
Hmm.

Hey.

Do you feel any ambiguity
as we try to save the life

of the man
who nearly killed Nic?

MINA:
Oddly, I don't.

Once they're in our OR,
I focus on the task at hand.

Hmm.

2-0 Prolene and pledgets.

Would you like me
to scrub in here?

I do not have time to teach you
over this particular heart.

She can watch over my shoulder.

AUSTIN:
Suit yourself.

Dr. Okafor,
you're needed in the lobby.

Tell them I'm in surgery.

JESSICA:
They said that it's urgent.

Somebody from the medical board.

AUSTIN:
Go.

I can handle this.

So, it looks like today is
your lucky day.

Go scrub in.

Hey.

Are you all right?

I'm actually doing
a bit better.

Yeah.

How are you?

Honestly, I'm not great.

I don't know what to do
with this anger.

I want to kill the guy
for what he did to you.

But, you know,
we have each other.

We have our baby.

And this man who hurt us

is going to spend
the rest of his life in prison.

So...

(exhales)

How did you get to this place?

I had, um, an interesting,

difficult conversation
with Billie earlier.

But we can talk
about that later.

(indistinct chatter)

-Dr. Okafor.
-Yes.

Shamus O'Reilly,
Georgia Medical Board.

I'm here to inform you
that an investigation

is underway that could put your
medical license in jeopardy.

I have a few questions
to ask you, if you don't mind.

Were you ever
romantically involved with

a Micah Stevens?

I believe
he was a patient of yours.

I will take that as a yes.

And are you currently
in a relationship

with your attending,
AJ Austin?

So... yes again.

Do you or did you ever
run a medical clinic

out of your home?

I need to speak to my lawyer
before this goes any further.

That is your right.

I will set the time
for an interview under oath.

Here's the file that we built
on you so you can prepare.

♪ ♪

Perhaps ask
more pointed questions

as they're completing
the survey.

Did their doctor explain
their treatment plan?

Are they clear on their
discharge instructions?

But I'm hoping for something
more substantial.

Okay. Thanks, Caitlin.

-You wanted to see me?
-Yes.

You look tired.
Please, sit down.

No, I'm not tired at all.

But if you insist...

Based on what I saw
this morning, Barrett,

it's clear your road to recovery

-is going to be long and hard.
-Oh, no, that's not true.

I'll be right back in the OR
in no time.

Not in one of my ORs.

I think it's only fair to warn
you that I'm going to start

interviewing for someone
to replace you.

We need a top neurosurgeon.

Without one,
the whole department will fail

and that's an outcome

-I can't accept.
-You can count on me.

Just give me about a month

to prove that
I can get back fast.

I'm very sorry, Barrett,
but I can't.

It's not just your uncertain
physical recovery

that's troubling me,
it's your attitude.

The way you acted this morning
is not something I want

or expect from a doctor
at the new Chastain.

That's fair.

I was out of line then.

Just give me another chance.

I'm willing to watch and see

how you do personally
and physically.

I won't write you off yet,

but I have to be honest.

At this moment,

I see no place for you
at Chastain.

(lock clicks)

(exhales)

(inhales)

(exhales)

LEELA:
What can I do here?

Nothing.
I will let you know.

He's losing pressure.

If we can't control the bleed,
we need to put him on pump.

(suction hissing)

All right. There was a tear
in the right atrium.

It was repaired,
but now there's another.

And I can't slow down

to talk you
through every move.

Time is of the essence.

I actually work better
in silence.

Yeah, we'll see about that.
Hand me a cl...

...clamp.

Retractors.

Ah, there it is.

It's right there.

2-0 Prolene.

All right. There we go.

There it is.

That should hold.

That's a pretty impressive
OR debut

for our surgical intern, no?

There may be hope for you yet.

-Do you mind if I...
-Yes.

You may close.

Come on,
the suspense is killing us.

You have Kayser-Fleischer rings.

And that, that is good news?

-Yeah. Yeah, it is good news.
-Yeah?

It's a diagnostic
of Wilson's disease.

It's a rare, inherited disorder
that causes copper

to accumulate in your liver,
brain and other vital organs.

It's often missed
or misdiagnosed

-as something else.
-Like Huntington's?

Yes.

That motion you made
with your arm, Megan,

is pretty specific to Wilson's.

I need to run
some more tests to confirm,

but I'm feeling really confident
that Wilson's disease

is causing all of your symptoms,

and you do not
have Huntington's.

But how bad is Wilson's disease?

It's serious,
but it's treatable.

Wait, so...

my death sentence
has been commuted?

It looks that way.

We'll give you medications
to help

rid your body
of the excess copper.

And we'll monitor
your liver function,

but...

all of your
neurological symptoms

that you've been experiencing...

...they should all
vastly improve.

(laughs)

(Josko gasping)

Oh, God, we got married so fast
'cause I had an expiration date.

-Are you sure you still want...
-Do you think that I want
to be a widower?

I was looking forward to that?

We now have a whole
lifetime together.

We definitely
have to go to Salem.

And Transylvania.

Oh, and Paris has catacombs.

I've always wanted
to see a catacomb.

-We're gonna see a catacomb.
-(both laugh)

NIC:
I'm glad you stayed today.

Me, too.

It can't have been easy
being here.

I know how much
you miss Chastain.

I know you wish your career
was back where it was.

I can't lie.

I wanted so much
to be a neurosurgeon.

It's a terrible loss,
but I brought it on myself.

You ever think about trying
to get your residency back?

Like that would ever happen.

Mm, I wouldn't be so sure.

Kit, this is Billie Sutton,

the neurosurgery resident
I was telling you about.

Billie, this is Kit Voss,
our new CEO.

Can you spare a minute to talk?

(Nic laughs softly)

When I was a second-year
surgery resident,

I told a twit of an attending
to shove a meniscal probe

up his-- well, you know.

And there were
worse transgressions.

There's good and bad
to your story.

That's not unusual.

And although the bad
is very bad...

-I cost a man his life.
-You overestimated your skill.

You crossed a line
you should never have crossed

and your patient paid
the ultimate price.

But you published some stellar
papers and your mentor reviews

-were second to none.
-Yeah. Most of them.

Stop arguing against yourself.

My neurosurgery department
is dying since we became

a public hospital.

You were one of the best.

And I believe in second chances.

I don't know what to say.

I'd like to reinstate
your residency on a trial basis.

A month, then we reassess.

Are you interested
in joining our team?

Say yes, Billie.

Yes.

Good.

(laughs)

Hey.

Sorry I couldn't make it back.

It's all good. Leela was
surprisingly excellent.

What did the medical board want?

Uh, to inform me
that I'm under investigation.

Investigation for what?

The clinic I ran in my home,

for dating a patient, Micah,
and for dating you.

It's Cain. It has to be.

No one else would
leak that information.

I can't confront him.

I have no proof,
but I'm sure it's him.

He's out for revenge.

AJ, I could lose
my medical license.

A-And your chance for a visa.

I don't know what's worse,

being deported
or not being a doctor.

Listen to me, Mina.

You are not going anywhere.

You hear me?

(siren wails in distance)

I know I was
hard on you earlier.

It is my job to help you.

You didn't have
all the information

that would have made
my mistakes make sense.

My entire life
I've wanted to be a surgeon,

despite knowing I have
one big obstacle to overcome.

You're dyslexic.

You've kept the secret
fairly well.

I had a friend in med school
who was dyslexic

and he also drew
patients' anatomy

to make sense of it.

Which is why I did well
in the OR.

But when I have
to do something new

without preparation,
it's a challenge.

So I overprepare.

I arrive hours
before anyone else,

I review CT reports
multiple times, writing down

key information
to fully comprehend it.

And you have to work
twice as hard as everyone else.

I do poorly on written exams.

So I didn't get an interview
at most residencies.

In fact, the only reason
I'm here is my mentor convinced

Dr. Voss to give me a chance.

Look, I'm glad
that it is clear between us.

And I will keep your secret
if that's what you want.

But moving forward,

make me understand
how I can help you.

Well, I don't want
to be treated differently.

I have to be as good
as any other resident.

Done.

(exhales)

DEVON:
Hey. Are those from

-the patient appreciation booth?
-What can I say?

Once a resident
always a resident.

I see free food,
I cannot help myself.

-(laughs)
-My policy, too,

until free sushi
ruined a long weekend.

(laughs)

Is that the princess?

Princess Nadine.

Yeah, yeah, she,
uh, called earlier,

said she was back in town
and that she had a surprise.

Oh, Pravesh, this is...

Is that little prince your son?

Brother, I've got to admit,

you have put me
in a vendetta kind of mood.

A rare, special brand
of pissed off,

and I find myself with some
inspired ways to make you pay

for what you're doing
to Mina Okafor.

Excuse you.

Oh, no.

You don't have to run away
from me, Barrett.

I won't hurt you, baby.

Not yet.

See, I had an epiphany,

and the irony is way too sweet.

You're gonna walk away from me,
take the elevator

to the penthouse,
where you will settle in

at rock bottom.

And I have no interest
in punching down.

You ruining Mina's life
and career

will not heal you, Barrett.

If anything,
you will sink to a new low.

-She tried to destroy me.
-No.

She called you out
for all the right reasons.

And you're trying to destroy her
for all the wrong reasons.

And now I hear even Kit
thinks there's no seat

for you at our table.

But as far as I'm concerned,
that's not punishment enough.

Fix it, Barrett.

Now.

If you don't...

...I'm coming for you.

You hear me?

And you won't walk away from me

ever again.

Yeah, it's Barrett.

I want you to ease up

Drop the whole thing now,

the challenge to the visa,
all of it.

KNOLL:
Sorry, Barrett.

That's out of our hands.

It's a moving train
that can't be stopped now.
