I thought you liked him.

I did.
We had sex.

Oh.
Twice.

And then I find his
wedding album. To Ryan.

I had sex
with Ryan's husband.

- How did I miss this?
- This is not a problem.

Can we talk?

- Whoa!

Fine. I'll get coffee

We're gonna get
a night nurse.

- The other entrance.

Even if you've done hundreds
of kidney resections

or heart transplants,

you've never resected
this kidney

or transplanted this heart.

Past experience usually helps,

but for unique cases,
you fake it first.

No. Sorry.

Then who
are those for?

Me. I'm going to
put them in the fridge.

I don't have time

Yasuda's shifts this week.

Same. She and her sister

Woman: Excuse me. Have
you registered to vote?

- Already registered.
- Yeah, me too.

Same.
Not my thing.

You rehearse on replicas

and hopefully when the real
patient is on the table,

Marsha: When you're juggling
two busy schedules,

it's perfectly normal
to schedule intimacy.

Okay. You schedule
a haircut.

I do not want to have to
schedule sex with my wife.

Why do you think
this bothers you?

It feels like she's not
trying to fix anything.

You know?
We are hemorrhaging,

and she's just reaching
for a Band-Aid.

So if I don't want
to fix our problems

the same way that you do, that
- means that I'm not trying?
- No, no, no.

Unfortunately,
we have to stop for today,

but I want you
to see this through.

Have scheduled sex this week
and see how it feels.

It might not be what you think.
For either of you.

Well, I guess I'll see you
at 10:00 tomorrow night.

reschedule?

Or you can stay exactly

will be the first one

who will officially
assess me.

Um, you left your laptop open
on the kitchen counter today.

Hey, hey, hey.
You lurk, I snoop.

Okay. Just-- Just-- Mnh.
Just be yourself!

I've never been

I went on a field trip
in seventh grade.

We picked apples.

Hey. Today you are

She's 10 years old.
She fell off a moving tractor.

Her vitals are stable,
but she's got

a bad leg injury
and a TBI,

so she needs
a higher level of care

than her community

I would go myself, but
I got a full patient roster.

I don't mind getting out
of the hospital.

your recommendation?

Chest tube and
change the antibiotics.

Oh, a chest tube
won't drain this,

and the antibiotics
aren't penetrating,

so we'll need to completely
remove the source.

The source
is his lung.

get him off the table.

do everything himself?

Well, he let me sew

What about in 2016?

What do we got?

Uh, Zayne Johnson, 32.

Diffuse pain, greatest
in his abdomen and right hip

after a supply rack
fell on him.

We're still
working on his history.

Do you take
any medication?

How much room do you have
on that thing? [Groans]

I take folic acid,
hydroxyurea, ibuprofen,

and tramadol
as needed.

- You have sickle cell?
- Yeah.

And I know about that new
gene therapy that cures it,

but my insurance
won't cover it

and I don't have
$3 million laying around,

so I still got it.

FDA approves a cure, and
nobody can afford to get it.

If I had three mill,
I wouldn't want to
spend it on treatments.

I'd buy a boat and
sail around the world.

I was kind of in the middle
of another patient upstairs.

Yeah, I brought you here
for that hip.

The articular surface
is completely destroyed.

upstairs for an MRI.

And we should also
