Previously on The Good Doctor…

Dalisay,

I know didn't show you enough respect

and I didn't make enough effort

to see things from your point of view.
But I wanna change.

How about dinner?

You pick me up at 7:30 Saturday.

We can try the Filipino place.

I think maybe you and I could be
gifts to each other,

and we should be open to that.

No idea what our future looks like.

You'll figure out.

Perfect practice
for when your own comes.

I'm going off my IVF meds.
I'm not doing another cycle.

Eden is what I've been waiting for.
She's my daughter.

I thought it was
Dr. Glassman's cancer returning,

but it is damage to Dr. Glassman's brain

as a result of a mini stroke.
It is permanent.

He shouldn't be doing surgery anymore.

Two weeks to peanut day.

Yes.

So you're making lasagna for breakfast?

It's going in the freezer.

I packed my hospital bag,
written my birth plan,

and soon I'll have on my list
is to do many nails and relax.

73% of births happen before the due date,

so you need to start relaxing immediately,

Because if there's one thing
you can grab, it's relaxation.

Yes.

Have you heard anything from Glassy?

No.

He might be mad when he finds out
you went to Lim with his brain scans.

It was very important for his future,
both medically and professionally.

Not just the info,
the whole behind his back thing.

He wouldn't listen to me,
so I had no choice.

I think you did the right thing.

But just talk to him.

Okay.

I've had a stroke.

Yes, a small one.

- I should give you some time.
- Yeah, you should.

He hit the brakes instead of the gas

and hit his head on the steering wheel.

And a shoo-in
for the dumbest patient of the day.

Too early to hand that out.

Want a better dumb patient?

Doctor says,
"Tori's waiting for her X-ray."

She says, "Well, that's weird.
I never dated any Ray"

A little too early for that too.

Laceration's superficial,

couple stitches and you're good.

- Yay.
- You sure?

He hit his head pretty hard.
Maybe you should run some tests.

There's no sign of fracture,
closed head injury or brain bleed.

Dr. Murphy?

It's not about the accident.

He's been behaving very strangely
for the last six months.

He's alert, responsive,
engaging socially...

Which is nothing like him.

His whole life, he's been terrible.

Constantly fired,
been through four divorces,

away from all of his kids except me.

He was always just

a dick.

Then he changed.
Now he's telling dad jokes.

Asks about my day.
He gave me a birthday present.

He is a different person.

This does not sound to me
like a medical issue.

But I will order a brain MRI

because it'd be
very interesting if it were.

Are you mad at me for going to Dr. Lim
with your brain scan?

Yeah, a little bit.

But maybe you saved my life, so…

I didn't think you are.

But Lea said you might be
so we were right.

What are you going to do?

About your job?

I don't know, Shaun.

I just found out I had a stroke.

I'm still reeling a little bit.

Maybe when I decide,

I'll let you know.

Okay.

I hear it beating.

Wow. Dr. Wolke has a heart.

I wasn't sure myself.

I have one too.

Now that we all knew.

Hey, Nico.

The doctors are going to take Olivia
to get some ice cream

and you to get some tests,

followed, of course, by some ice cream.

- Thanks, Dr. Marcus.
- Yeah.

Ice cream.

Nico's Sarcoma has invaded
his thigh and hip, here and here.

But luckily, there's no signs
of metastasis, which means,

we can debulk the tumor.

How much time would he get?

Nine months, maybe even a year.

We could take him to Salzburg.

With Nico's illness and surgeries,
he's never really had a great Christmas.

He found this photo

of the Salzburg Christmas market
in Austria, talks about it all the time.

This surgery could just get us there.

Not just.

There's always medical advances.

You have to be realistic, Seb.

And you have to keep a positive attitude.

This is good news.

Some final pre-op testing.
Nico can have a surgery tomorrow.

Eden, be reasonable. Please.

You've been fed, changed, swaddled.

I have walked. I have rocked.

I have bounced.

I have held you on my front,

on my back, on my hip.

Please, Eden, you have to go to sleep.

Be reasonable. Please.

Okay, okay, okay.

So you're gonna tell me, or not?

- Where we going tomorrow?
- It's a surprise.

As in you have no idea.

It's been harder than I thought.

A movie is too predictable.

An escape room is too dark in.

Well, dinner at my place is out.

I'll pick something.

I don't want you to.

It's meant to be fun, Danny,
which it will be

once we get over this first hump.
So let me do it?

And yes, I said hump, which I regret
saying for multiple reasons.

His daughter was right.

I will take ACE inhibitors,

aspirin, statins,

to help reduce
the likelihood of future stroke

to near absolute zero.

I will reduce my workload by 25%.

Any operation over six hours,
I will have a backup

in the OR, I will even eat more broccoli.

I'm not really comfortable with you

doing any surgery right now.

Not until we've determined the full extent
of any potential impairment.

Do I look impaired to you?

No, but I think we should run a few tests.

You see any evidence at all?

That my work has suffered.

You are a brain surgeon.

The margin of acceptable error
is minuscule.

I have a pretty good idea
of how precise I need to be.

I'm not comfortable
with subjecting any patient to that risk.

Most of the patients that I take on,

other surgeons won't even touch.

Without me,
the likelihood that they will die

is one hundred percent.

I am not questioning your value.

I'm just asking that you wait

until there is no doubt.

There's no such thing as no doubt.

Aaron, I cannot have you
operating right now.

I'm sorry.

Then you will have to fire me.

And I will sue you.

You know, I'm thinking of cooking up
a batch of the world famous,

Poulet a la Andrews tonight.

I'm in.

But I want to give you
a courtesy heads up.

The nurses are gonna send out

an official email
about a unionization drive.

I increased the nursing budget.

More than a year ago, and mostly
went to temps or traveling nurses.

Not mostly. I can show you the numbers.

Point is, we're underpaid,
underappreciated,

a union could protect us.

Sorry to interrupt.

Got Nico's pre-op testing back.

His chemo hit his bone marrow.

Platelets. Only 22k?

He can't have a surgery.

You have a large,
malignant hemangiopericytoma,

compressing your frontal lobes.

Malignant?

Yes, but it's operable,
which is good because if left untreated,

this would likely kill you within a year.

Okay.

You were right.

The tumor is probably why
your father stopped being a dick

a few months ago.

Sorry, Dad.

It's all right.

I knew our relationship has improved,
I just didn't know it was because of this.

So if you remove it,
could that change my personality back?

Most likely.

Thank you. I'm gonna pass on the surgery.

If you want to bench our top surgeon,

you're gonna need more
than one indeterminate scan.

Are you worried to lose
our top surgeon or top earner?

Why does everyone think wanting to keep
the hospital solvent is to be ashamed of?

You wanna invite another takeover?

I just want to clarify our agenda.

Well, then, let me clarify.

Yes, I'm worried to lose our top earner,

but more worried about Theo Singh.

The 27-year-old newlywed
with the pilocytic astrocytoma.

We can refer Dr. Cochoa at General.

Theo's tumor's compressing his brain stem,
Cochoa won't take him.

I can deal with that.

And you're doing it again.

My department, my call.

Once litigation is threatened,
it becomes my call.

Glassman refused cognitive testing,

and until I have more information,
I'm not letting him into the OR.

So he does all the surgeries as planned,

but with a backstop.

You assign another surgeon,
on all of his cases and not just the OR.

- He'll be happy with that?
- It's a compromise.

Nobody's ever completely happy.

I know I'm not.

Neither am I,
hallmark of a successful negotiation.

I forgot you were coming.

That's odd, given how you read my text
ten minutes ago,

but a beautiful, healthy baby,
beautiful and healthy Mom.

So it looks like things are going great.

Definitely.

She eating well?

- Like a horse.
- Nice.

Sleeping?

Like a baby.

I underestimated the diaper demand
but everything else is perfect.

It's okay.

When Kellan was fussy, we'd put his
car seat on top of the washing machine.

The vibrations knocked him right out.

This isn't like her.

Do you mind?

I've missed this.

See? Like a baby.

My patient is refusing
hemangiopericytoma resection surgery

that'll save his life.
I want you to talk him into it.

That's not how this works, Shaun.

It should be. You are more persuasive,
than I am.

Ask Glassman.
He's removed more anterior fossa tumors

than anyone on the west coast.

But Dr. Glassman shouldn't be doing
any surgery until...

I agree that I was overruled.

You want someone to change
your patient's mind,

Glassman's the best.

You are persuasive.

Nico's body isn't making the blood cells
and platelets he needs.

Well, there's got to be a way
to get his counts up.

With Nico so sick…

it may be time
to consider palliative care.

- No.
- Let's hear the doctor out.

No, I'm not giving up on him.
Neither should you.

Neither should they.

Nico's been through so much.

You think I don't know that?

I'm trying to save his life.

Dr. Park will pull the team together

and see if there's a solution
that works for everyone.

Thank you

so much.

He doesn't want his tumor removed,

so I don't know what to discuss.

With tumor's impact on his frontal lobes,

he is not competent to take the decision.

You think I'm not competent
to be a doctor. So?

No, just to be a neurosurgeon.

The surgery should give Kurt
about 20 more years.

Let's recap, 20 more years
as a bad father versus

one year as a good father.

There is no medical justification.

Yes, there is. There's an emotional one,
an emotional issue.

Voice is getting louder
and your face is flushed, are you upset?

You should've come to me with the scan.
Not go to or show it to Lim.

You said you were only a little mad at me.

You ratted me out
to the head of the department

when I specifically
ask you not to do that.

Yes, I did that
because you did not believe me.

Then you come to me, try to convince me.

Again, again and again.
Don't you think you owe me that?

That's four times.
I tried a lot more than that.

What'd you want from me?

You want me to go with you to see
if he's competent? Okay, fine.

Let's go.

Hey.

Did Dr. Park find anything?

Not yet.

I want to see how you guys are doing.

Seb's with the kids,

I needed a little break.

Seb and I used to talk about

how every day was...

A beautiful day.

I remember.

Do you understand what will happen

if you don't have the operation?

Yes.

I'll be dead within a year.

And why is that preferable to surgery?

Hailey was right about me.
I was a terrible person.

A terrible father.

Never played with her or talked to her.

I can't even remember holding her hand.

The Wizard of Oz.

I was 5, terrified of the flying monkeys,
but when I reach for your hand…

I pulled it away.

I never tried to again.

I don't want to go back.

I don't want to lose this.

I don't wanna lose you.

The brain is a funny thing.

It wants to do the things
that makes it feel good,

to get that dopamine hit.

In fact, it actually can reshape itself.

As it continues to try
to experience those good feelings.

So you're saying that I might

be able to stay this way?

Maybe.

You work hard

to be the best version
of the person you want to be.

I've had that fight.

You should listen to Dr. Glassman.

He has removed more
anterior fossa tumors than

anyone on the West Coast.

I have faith in you, Dad.

You can do the work.
You could stay a good man.

Well, like the patient said,

"I didn't want brain surgery,
but the doctor changed my mind."

Was that a dad joke?

And a "yes".

If you do the surgery,

I've heard that you know
your way around a fossa tumor.

As you wish.

What are we doing here?

You don't remember?

A bicoronal frontal craniotomy.

- And?
- Possible orbital osteotomies.

Drill.

We would place a lumbar drain first.

Before incision, yes.
I thought I'd focus on the surgery.

Be careful of the sutura coronalis.

Why, does the patient have those?

All higher primates do.
If you don't remember...

It's a joke.
In the OR we call that a joke.

Popping the top.

Let's get under the lobes.

Wait.

That is not the next step, it's...

Assessing and ligating the anterior third?

I thought I'd do that
after I get a better view.

That is an acceptable option.

Wonderful.

- But you must remember to...
- No more talking now.

This is my patient. So I should be able...

- Please leave.
- I won't be quiet.

One of us is going to leave, Shaun.

It will not be the one doing the surgery.

Let's get after it.

With blood transfusions,

plus a cocktail of five medications

to increase blood cell.

That should get Nico
through the operation.

Few weeks later, we get a stem cell
transplantation from one of you.

What'd the side effects be?

High risk of infection
and bleeds from the surgery

and possible toxicity
from drug interactions.

You know the alternative.
He'd be gone in just a few months.

If you were in our place,
what would you do?

I'd do the surgery.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We'll prep Nico for surgery.

Okay.

If this works, it'll be a real win-win,

because one day I do plan
to do laundry again.

All right, Eden,

I'm just gonna sit down

for one sec.

No.

That'll stay just between us.

Oh, my God.

I want Shaun off the case.

It's his patient.

I don't want to crack a skull open

standing next to someone
waiting for me to screw up.

I want a team I can trust 100%
and who will trust me.

Shaun's off the case.

Thank you.

I'll be assisting.

Welcome aboard.

This is nice.

The chicken?

Not exclusively.

I just hope it doesn't get messed up
by things at work.

The unionization drive.

What if I could

squeeze the board,

get them to sign off on
some real and meaningful improvements?

You might not need a union.

Those'd have to be some big concessions.

How about…

A 5% raise?

1-4 cap on nurse-to-patient ratios?

Might even be able to get
a Chief Nursing Officer on the board.

That's pretty interesting.

No idea if anyone else would go for it.

Could you find out?

There's a difference
how hard I can push for a proposal

that might work versus one that will.

I can float it to a couple people.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Dessert?

Yes.

As soon as the surgery's over,
the case is yours again.

I will watch from the gallery.

No need. I'll have a much
better view from the floor.

The video feed on the monitors
is excellent,

and it couldn't hurt to have more backup.

Actually, it could, Shaun.

I was wrong sending you to Glassman.

He's pretty upset right now.

If you push it,
it could hurt your relationship.

But if a doctor is making mistakes...

You don't have to be the one
to catch them. Not when others can.

Not when the doctor is your dad.

There's a few left.
It's okay. Don't worry.

No, no, no!

I knew I was running out. I knew it.
What kind of mom runs out of diapers?

Morgan?

Eden, if you're alone, open the door.

I can't do this.

Yes, you can.

I'm failing at everything.

When Kellan was three months,

Mia had to go out of town.

It was my first time alone with him,

and he was teething.

It was 4:00 in the morning,

and neither of us had slept and suddenly,

I knew exactly how to fix everything.

One or both of us
was going out that window.

No one went out the window.

We both fell asleep.

Of the many times
I've heard about your failures,

none has ever made me happier.

You're not failing, you're just…

muddling through.

I'm not a muddler.

Every parent is.

Key's to not lose your mind
while you're muddling.

Freed up the lateral aspect.

Cauterizing.

We're ready to remove the tumor.

Dr. Kalu, want the honor?

Thank you, Doctor.

Mets all over his liver.

Can we resect the most involved segments?

It's too widespread.

So what do we do?

Close him up.

Tell the family.

Start the timer.

Place the lumbar drain, please.

Hi.

- Tough day?
- Yeah, it was.

When I was arguing with the board
and fighting with Lim and…

I just found out I got
to tell the kid's parents

that the surgery I recommended failed

and their boy has a month to live, so…

that tipped it a bit beyond tough.

I'll come back later.

I'm sorry. I'm okay.

What's up?

- This may not be the time.
- No.

It's fine.

I floated your idea to a few nurses.

They don't trust perks
that can be taken away at will.

They want a union.

I'm sorry.

Which nurses?

Their names?

You want me to inform on my coworker?

To know how serious is it.

Are we talking influential people
or some disgruntled part timers?

No!

You need to use a Penfield dissector
to avoid lacerating the sagittal sinus.

- Dr. Murphy.
- Using the blunt end

of the drill bit instead.

Okay, carry on.

Thank you. Speak again, Dr. Murphy,
and I'll have you removed.

I heard you were here
and I said, "Impossible"

because Lea and I talked about

how this is her very precious
and finite me time.

Tonight's date with Perez, right?

- What are you gonna do?
- I have no idea.

Thought of this Italian place,

then I remember they have
house wine on tables

and figured that might trigger a relapse.

Then thought of indoor skydiving,
but what if he gets hurt?

So I…

You're really overthinking this.

I thought maybe he wasn't ready to date,
but now I'm thinking I'm not.

Maybe you're not.

But you're gonna regret it
if you don't give it a shot.

Take him to the Batumi Grill,
order the khachapuri.

Blanket is waiting.

Khachapuri.

Okay.

- You're giving up?
- That's not what...

You can't do this to us, to him.

- I'm so sorry.
- You can't promise

you have a cure then abandon us.

- Nothing we can do.
- Find another surgery.

We need to focus on improving
the time Nico has left.

Don't tell me where to focus. He's my son.

I don't want quality time.
All I want is my boy.

I'm talking to him.

You're being selfish.

Forcing any more operations
will only cause Nico more pain.

You and Talia and Olivia will have
terrible memories of his last days.

I don't care about memories.

You should,

because soon, they are all you'll have.

You wouldn't let me give up before.

And you were right.

But now it's time.

Dads are supposed to fight for their kids.

So you fight

to give your son
as many beautiful days as you can.

You need a rest?

No, I'm just stretching.

Okay.

And there is our houseguest.

And it overstayed its welcome.

There's a lot of bleeding.

Vascular clips.

It must be a tear
in the anterior cerebral.

No, it's from the dural feeders.

As expected.

And here we are.

Bleeding stopped.

Nice.

No.

Dr. Glassman, please tell us
what the next step is.

You hesitated. You need to say
what comes next in the surgery.

Somebody, call security.

- Shaun, you are out of line.
- Answer.

Please.

It's…

We need to decompress the optic nerve.

Rhoton dissector.

Hey.

Patient's in recovery.

Your surgical plan was flawless.

Alison Borden,

34-year-old mother of two.

My first solo surgery.

Frontal AVM, was walk in the park.+

I was pumped. I was flying.

And then,

her feeding artery tore,

and I couldn't stop the bleeding.

Bipolaring, clipping, suturing.

We thought we were going to lose her.

And I couldn't get this image
out of my mind

of her kids, coming home from school

and seeing their father just

sitting there, you know.

Finally,

I stuck a neuro-patty
on a muscle patch graft and it held.

And when I walked
out of that OR, I thought,

I am never going back in there again.

Then I saw Alison in recovery.

You know, husband, kids, all smiles.

She gave me a big hug.

Despite my raging ego,

I've tried, I've always tried,

to make it about the patients.

To do what's best for them.

I never thought that would mean
putting down my knife.

The surgery went very well.

We were able to completely
remove your tumor.

Hey, Dad, how are you feeling?

My head kinda hurts.

I bet.

I gave you that locket?

Yeah.

For my last birthday.

Yeah.

That seems like a long time ago.

Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top

Okay, I know, I know.

Okay. Okay.

Hey, Siri, play "Deceptacon" by Le Tigre.

Do you like this?

Do you like dancing with me?

Well, I love dancing with you.

Your mommy loves dancing with you.

- You look great.
- Thank you.

- So do you.
- Thank you.

So, where we headed?

It's a Georgian place.

Lea swears by their khachapuri.

That sounds amazing.

I have no idea what that is.

I had to look it up.

It's cheese bread.

Okay.

Sorry about earlier.

Not your finest moment.

This, on the other hand…

Amazing.

Wow.

Do you think maybe…

We can do dinner another night.

I like the suit.

Like, I really like the suit.

Maybe it could come home tonight?

It's a beautiful day.

Kurt and Hailey held hands.

It must be hard to accept
you're compromised.

But you didn't hurt a patient.

Now you understand why I did it.
You can't be mad at me.

You didn't have to do it that way. Okay?

You were right.
You didn't have to do that.

If I was right, then...

You humiliated me in public.

In my operating room,
in front of my colleagues.

Do you have any idea
how much that hurt coming from you?

I don't know what to do.

You can just leave me alone.

Hello, Lea?

The peanut's coming early.

The peanut is coming!
