- Previously

- I'm glad that you're up
for complicated

because I'm pregnant.

- Do you foresee any problems

working in a public hospital
system like New Amsterdam?

- The only problem I see having
is getting any work done

while staring into those
amazing, blue eyes of yours.

- You lied to me!
I asked you if this residency

was on the level,
and you said yes.

- I'm going to wait you out,

and then I'm going to undo
every bloated program,

every underfunded clinic,

and everything that you've
built on very shaky ground.

- I am going to miss
this place,

but we are getting ready
for a brand-new chapter

of our lives together
in London.

- JFK, terminal four.

Insurance companies,
they want people to schedule

their elective surgeries from

When I send a patient
up for surgery,

it's because they need it.

When insurance companies
dictate what's elective,

people die, and I'm not
sending patients home

don't have insurance

with quiet dignity

unrivaled rehabilitation clinic

Dr. Grey,
I couldn't help but notice

your pediatrics department
is bursting at the seams.

- The NHS allots its resources
using an algorithm

based
on neighborhood demographics,

and four doctors
is all they gave us.

- That's because
their algorithm is from 1997.

Since then the number of minors
in Hampstead has tripled.

I've hired six
new pediatricians.

looking forward to these.

on a scale up to 100.

All these single digits

But these scores are terrible.
What are we doing wrong?

No, yes, yes. Absolutely.

I'm just going

Hi.
How can I help?

That's a lovely name.

Yep.

Why would I patronize you?

I mean, unless you're telling
me that being Santa is easy--

- It's not easy!

There's a lot of
hard work involved!

- That's what I'm saying!
We're on the same page here.

I mean, the amount of work
that goes into one night--

- One night?
[scoffs]

It's not one night!

Everyone always thinks
it's one night,

but the prep
starts December 26,

and it does not stop,
believe you me.

- I do.
I do believe you.

I can barely manage
the logistics in my department.

- Logistics, record-keeping,
organization,

overseeing all types
of interesting personalities--

- Hold on.

I got it.

- What?
- Your perfect job.

[UK police siren wailing]

- Roderick Cantleigh?

Hi. Dr. Helen Sharpe.
Thank you so much for coming.

So exciting to have
the NHS Regional Director

for all of London
visiting our humble hospital.

- Unexpected visits
from one's boss' boss' boss

are rarely cause
for excitement.

- Right. Okay.
Um...

look, I know that my
proposed reforms are ambitious,

but I assure you
they are useful,

they are commonsensical,
they're patient-focused--

- American.

Your ideas are American.

- I am aware that there
are differences

between the American health
care system and England--

- Ours is better.
- But...

England shaped me
as a doctor and as a person,

and I promise you,
under my leadership,

Hampstead will be the essence
of English health,

and the community
that I am proud to call home

will support it wholeheartedly.

Shall we?

- We demand personalized
oncology services!

- Doctors of our choosing
available when we need them!

- And you should get out
your bloody cell phones!

- We want it the American way!
- This is a human right!

[overlapping angry chatter]

.

- Dr. Baptiste, your wife
and the fetus are stable.

- Thank you.

- Would you like to
come be with her?

- Yes.

[indistinct PA announcement]

You coming?

Hey.

Dr. Matsudaira said
you're doing good.

- And the baby, too.

- Yeah.
We're good.

- I'm so sorry, Lyn.
- Yeah, we both are.

- Can't speak for Floyd,
but for me,

this ride that we're on can
bring up a lot of insecurities.

[soft dramatic music]

- Amen to that.

- None of it's an excuse.
You needed us. Both of us.

And we were off playing
who's the alpha.

- And who won?

♪

- We don't know.

We told the lab
to destroy the samples.

We got so wrapped up
in that test

that we didn't even ask
about the test that mattered.

♪

- What did your CVS show?

♪

- It came back clean.

- That's good.

- I want to know too
who the father is.

How could I not?

But if we're being real,

you don't need a DNA test

He's the guy who doesn't have
to think twice

about showing up.

I wanted us to be better
than this.

- How you feeling?

- You can skip the preamble.

You opened me up and you found
that the cancer had spread.

- No.

- Or an aneurysm
or a plague of locusts.

- No.
No, it went great.

- Did I die?

Am I dead right now?

- Mr. Treize,
I just looked at your labs.

We managed to remove
all the cancer.

Margins are clear.

Medically speaking,
you're cured.

- [sobs and sniffles]

- She did it.
- Who did what?

- Dr. Castries.

She said that she was going
to break the curse,

that she was going to be
by my side during surgery.

And here I am.
Here I am.

And you were skeptical
at first,

but you got to hand it to her.

- I guess I do. Come on,
let's get you to post-op.

- [shudders]

You know,
I feel a real sense of harmony.

You know,
like the universe and I--

- Whoa!
- Sorry!

- All right. I'm going
to take you up there myself.

- I'm in the market
for a second assistant

because my schedule
is just too complex

for one person
to handle it alone.

This job is demanding.
It is high-octane. It is fast.

Do you think you are up
for that, um, Chris?

- Absolutely.

- It's only part-time.

- Perfect.

- That said, may call you in
on the weekends.

- It'll be like I never
leave the hospital.

- Hm.

Now it says here that
you worked for Goldman Sachs,

left three years ago,
haven't worked since.

Bit of a red flag.
Why the break?

- I needed to take some time
off to see the world.

- Wow.

Anyway,
this all sounds great to me.

Is there anything else
that I should know?

- Um, yes, there is.

Um, I hope this isn't
a dealbreaker,

but I'll need
December 25th off.

- Hi.
I was paged?

- Greg Treize wants to talk
to you about his chi.

- Yes. Where is he?
- Post-op.

- But his surgery
was cancelled.

- No.
I heard it went well, actually.

- So you're telling me that
Veronica's new assistant

is a secret Santa?
- I am.

[laughter]
- Oh, my God. It's too good.

- It felt good,
I got to be honest.

What about you, though?

This place is
a surgical theater,

it's a revolutionary hideout.

I mean, you almost forget
it's chock-full of dead bodies.

They're right there.

they tell no tales.

That's so dark.

Oh, guys,
I'm having some feelings.

New Amsterdam again

for starting a rebellion

like dosas and chutney, right?

My mistake.

You can't help
but rebel against the system.

It's in your blood.

- Well, to be fair,
you did leave a Yank

in charge of a British system.

Uh, you should count yourself
lucky no one threw tea.

- Roderick repealed my reforms.

Every last one.

- Could be worse, right?

- He also cut 10%
of my funding.

- Should have let you finish.

But good news,
I got my license,

so I am now a fully-certified
practicing UK physician,

and I am ready to rock.

Put me in, Coach.

I am ready to help
this clinic in any--

- You're fired.
- I'm--I'm what?

- I can't hire you, Max,

and you are fired
from being quite possibly

the worst receptionist ever.

Today I had to face the fact
that my, um,

my "American fixes"
are not going to work here.

They're not going to work
in this system.

And that includes you.

I know that you're
looking for something,

Hampstead on my own.
