Is your name Nora Perez?

You know it is.

Damn it! Yes or no?

Yes.

BETHANY: Is today Saturday?

was it you who divulged
my secret information?

For the thousandth time, no.

Not now, Mom.

Sorry to interrupt, sweetie,

Not that I'm not defending

He barely acknowledged
we were in the room, Chim.

I mean, I hate to think it,
but maybe our experience

would have been different if
he had looked more like us.

I was a 12-year-old Korean
boy translating to the doctor

on behalf of my sick mother.

Makes you wonder how bad it is

for a patient who doesn't have anyone,

no one to advocate for them.

That's why people like
you and me can't put

all our trust in doctors.

Because they don't trust us.

To know how we're feeling,

to-to know when something's wrong.

I know something's wrong, Chim.

brilliant medical minds

to bounce ideas off of.

You know any of those?

I-I can't run blood,

do an X-ray or-or order an echo.

All I have is what I know,

and my ability to listen to
what the patient is saying.

Even with every tool a-at your disposal,

you still got it wrong.

Okay, what-what would you
have had me do differently?

Believe them when they tell
you that something is wrong.

Start there.

(TOYS BEEPING AND WHIRRING)

EDDIE: Oh.

- Carla.
- Uh, here you go.

CHRISTOPHER: Does he like video games?

I have some old ones
I don't play anymore.

You know what, I'm not sure.
I didn't see a television

when I was there.

- You know, let's just stick to books and toys.
- No TV?

- He really does need our help.
- (CARLA CHUCKLES)

Just remember that
help doesn't always come

in the form of screen time.

- EDDIE: Uh-huh.
- (LAUGHS)

Wow, someone's feeling generous.

Hey, Eddie.

- Can I talk to you for a second?
- Yeah.

Now, don't let him give away
the whole house while I'm gone.

CARLA (LAUGHS): Okay.

- What's going on?
- I was thinking about what you said,

how that family supports themselves

through their Fund Me page,
so I started looking around...

You went snooping?

I was trying to make a donation.

Maybe circulate it on
the faculty newsletter.

But I think there's something
wrong with this woman.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY) That feels like a leap.

You haven't even met her.

No, but I found some weird stuff online.

I think she lied to you.

About what?

CARLA: That's a lot of Fund Me pages.

There's Sheila and
Charlie Burns in El Paso,

Sheila and Charlie Young in Phoenix,

and Sheila and Charlie
Watts of Santa Fe.

It's him, the same kid every time,

just with different last names
and different cities.

Charlie did say they moved around a lot.

That would explain the different
accounts and different cities,

but not the different names.

What did his mom say his illness was?

(LAUGHS SOFTLY) She didn't. Not really.

Said it was autoimmune.

Well, that's awfully general.

Charlie did say he goes to
a lot of different doctors.

Could be doctor shopping.

Which is what you do when
you're not really sick,

you're just looking for a
doctor to say that you are.

You think she's lying?

Well, we wouldn't be the only ones.

Most of the Fund Me
pages were shut down,

but the comments are still up.

"This woman is a fraud and a scammer.

Do not trust her".

"She's a con artist looking
for money and attention".

- Oh, God.
- CARLA: What?

"I think she's making her kid sick".

Oh, you didn't have to do dishes.

- You cooked.
- Well, that's okay.

What do you say, you
want to watch a movie?

May is out and Harry's at Michael's.

We could have a date night in.

Um, rain check?

I just had a really long day,
I think I got to crash.

Hmm. Is everything okay?

I mean, if something's bothering you,

if something's on your mind,
you know you can talk to me.

Everything is fine.

- Nothing to talk about.
- It doesn't feel fine.

I'm worried about you.

- Athena, I'm...
- I know you have

your meetings, and I'm
glad you have people

that you can talk to.

- But you can talk to me, too.
- Yeah, I know,

it's... the meetings... not the same.

Yeah, I know.

I can never really understand
that part of your life,

but I'd like to try.

Maybe I can go with you to your meeting?

You have one tomorrow, right?

That is very sweet of you, but no.

I-I don't have one tomorrow,
but you could come on Saturday.

Great.

Good, okay. Good night.

(ATHENA EXHALES)

HEN: I'm fine, Karen.
You, you stay there.

I'll call you when I have an update.

You're still here?

You didn't, you didn't have to.

It's your mom.

Thank you.

- For everything.
- (DOOR OPENS)

SYDNEY: Hen.

SURGEON: Ms. Wilson?

Good news.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

Hey, Ma. How you feeling?

A little sore...

... but a lot grateful.

The surgeon did a good job.

You're gonna make a full recovery, Ma.

I'm glad to hear that.

But it's not the doctor
I'm grateful for.

You saved my life.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

Well, the truth is, I got
used to having you around.

So I'm not ready to let you go just yet.

I won't be around forever, Henrietta.

- Ma...
- I won't.

So let me say this.

I am so proud of you.

Henrietta, you... working
so hard and going to school,

taking care of your family.

I know it's a struggle.

But it is worth it.

Because people like me?

We need doctors like you.

So, promise me...

... no matter how hard it gets,

you won't give up.

You promise?

I promise.

Guess B shift's still out on a call.

BUCK: Damn.

- You're early.
- EDDIE: Couldn't sleep.

You remember the mom
the other day? Sheila?

- With the sick kid?
- BOTH: Yeah.

He's not sick. Not really.

She's making him sick.
Probably for years.

Munchausen by proxy? That's
a big accusation, Eddie.

EDDIE: I tracked down some
people that knew them before.

All signs point to it.

The nonspecific autoimmune disease,

the revolving door of doctors.

He's frail, he's weak,
he's always throwing up.

She's poisoning him.

Poisoning him? W-With what?

Eye drops. I saw them in the kitchen.

CHIMNEY: Eye drops. Tetrahydrozoline

could cause the symptoms
that you're talking about.

It can be lethal if it's ingested,

doesn't show up on a
standard toxicology test.

- You have to know to look for it to find it.
- She's dosing him.

Not enough to kill him but
enough to keep him sick.

I called social services.

They're coming here to take a report.

Why-why would she do that?

Well, sometimes it's to gain sympathy.

Oh, or maybe to make a profit.

I found multiple Fund Me pages.

She's conning people out of their money.

(PHONE VIBRATING, RINGING)

- Hello?
- CHARLIE: Eddie?

Charlie? You okay?

I think I did a bad thing.

(RETCHING)

(LAUGHS): Athena, come on.
You-you followed him?

Not my finest hour,

but I needed to know where he was going.

Okay, and?

He went to a meeting.

Now, that's a great thing. Right?

Except he lied to me about it.

So you still think that
he's hiding something.

(SIGHS)

Maybe not a what.

Maybe a who.

(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

Got to go. Talk later.

(SIREN WAILING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Buckley, you get promoted to
captain when I wasn't looking?

- Only vehicle available.
- Diaz, you called this in?

Yeah. Possible O.D.

She's over here. I-I don't
think she's breathing.

EDDIE: We're here now, we got her.

MEHTA: Do we know what she took?

BUCK: Yeah, uh, Eddie thinks
it's tetrahydrozoline poisoning.

Uh, eye drops.

She always puts drops in my food.

She thinks I don't see her, but I do.

I just wanted to see what would
happen if I gave them to her.

- I-I'm sorry.
- Oh, no, that's okay, that's okay.

You didn't mean to hurt her.

BUCK: Yeah, the kid's
gonna need treatment, too.

Same kind of poisoning,
just smaller doses.

But for a really long time.

MADDIE: So she was hurting her own kid?

CHIMNEY (OVER PHONE):
Yeah, for money or attention

or something that doesn't
really even matter.

My God. That's terrible.

You know, I never thought
I'd say this, but I'm glad

she fell through that balcony floor.

At least that kid will be
safe, far away from her.

Yeah. Sounds like he's
better off without her.

Yeah, I guess some people just
aren't meant to be parents.

Anyway, kind of made me
want to hear your voice,

tell you guys how much I love you.

You're sweet.

How are things there? I
don't hear Jee-Yun crying.

That seems like a good sign.

She's finally asleep.

Well, that's a relief. Hey,
listen, Hen just showed up,

and I want to hear about her mom.

Can I call you later?

Yeah.

Yeah, we're good here.
There's nothing to worry about.

You followed me to a meeting?

You lied to me.

I couldn't understand
why, and then I saw her.

That's Rachel Hawkerson, the
drunk driver from the pileup.

Are you sponsoring her?

Look, I am trying to help her.

She's having a hard time
finding somebody to talk to

who can actually relate
to what she went through.

The other night, when you came
home smelling like bourbon?

That was Rachel's.

She fell off the wagon and called me,

she was still drinking when I got there,

and the bottle spilled on me

when I tried to take it away from her.

You gonna have to help
me out here, Bobby.

Why didn't you just tell
me what was going on?

Because it's not my story to tell.

I didn't want to violate
her confidentiality.

Oh, you can tell me what you're
doing without telling me who.

All the sneaking around,
leaving me in the dark.

Why shut me out? I'm your wife.

Yeah. It's hard when your spouse
keeps things from you.

Trust me, I know.

Wait.

Is this supposed to be
some kind of punishment?

You mean you're keeping
this secret on purpose

- to get back at me?
- No!

I don't know.

I decided to help somebody
and I didn't think

I needed to tell you about it.

You don't let me in on
half the decisions you make.

Like what?

You decided to go back to work
without talking to me about it,

just like you stopped seeing Dr. Sanford

without mentioning it to
me, and then it turns out

you were offered retirement
and you dismiss it,

and I'm kept completely
in the dark about it.

I didn't think I needed to
ask you for your permission.

You don't. This is about me

not even being a factor
or a consideration.

You don't... It doesn't cross your mind

to include me in the conversation

or wonder what I might think.

We're supposed to be partners,

but the truth is, you don't want
one, at work or in your life.

I'm used to doing things
on my own. That's who I am,

and you knew that when you married me.

Well, I thought that,
eventually, you would start

to trust me more, but now
I'm starting to think

that you're just gonna
always keep this wall up

and I'm always gonna feel
like an outsider looking in.

Well, maybe you wouldn't feel
like an outsider if you talked

to me instead of playing
this tit-for-tat game.

Marriage isn't supposed
to work like that.

Well, who said this marriage is working?

We're not partners because
that's how you want it.

- (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
- What about my mom?

- Will I see her at the hospital?
- EDDIE: She's a little more sick.

She's got to go to a different hospital.

This is your ride.

SHEILA: My-my baby!

Where's my baby?

(MUFFLED): Where's my baby...

(ENGINE STARTS)

Should've gotten here sooner.

That kid is just lucky he met you.

MEHTA: Diaz, you want to ride
with the kid to the hospital?

- Yeah. That'd be gr...
- (GUNSHOT)

- (PEOPLE SCREAMING)
- MEHTA: Get down!

- (RADIO CRACKLES)
- Shots fired.

Shots fired. A firefighter is down.

I repeat, firefighter is down!

Shots fired. Shots fired.
