Scrub in with The Resident.

This is a business.
It's not a charity.

Catch all-new episodes Mondays,

and check out
our other Fox programs--

9-1-1, Lethal Weapon,
and Empire.

We lost Empire,
but we are still here.

Only on Fox.

Previously on The Resident...

You're not wearing a ring.

I haven't made my decision yet.

You love Micah.

You love Conrad.
You're not getting married.

You know why I stay, don't you?

You're here.

We make a great team.

KIT:
Don't you look dapper?

-I could say the same thing...
-Shall we?

One of my investigators
was able to locate

a former QuoVadis employee

who witnessed fraud
at the company.

Will they come forward?

(low chatter)

CONRAD:
A special M&M?

Run by Bell.

With the entire board present.

Why?

Man, I wish I brought popcorn.

Maybe we're gonna get
an update on QuoVadis.

There's nothing to update.

QuoVadis is dead.

We killed it.

Gloriously.

Take your seats, please.

I called you here today
because we have

an unusual patient to discuss:
Chastain Park Memorial.

Our speaker will explain exactly
how Chastain fell victim

to an unscrupulous
device company.

Former QuoVadis device rep,
Julian Booth.

Did you know?

I thought she was dead.

Thank you, Dr. Bell,
for having me here.

I look out today

and I see dedicated doctors
and nurses

who come to work each day
to heal their patients.

That was my mission as well.

But, like Chastain,
I was misled by QuoVadis.

The results were harm

and, in some cases...

death.

And the most
frightening thing is

the fraud committed by QuoVadis

was far too easy
to accomplish.

And that is why I'm here today--
so that, moving forward,

we can make sure the devices

put into Chastain patients heal

instead of harm.

I can't believe
that you're here.

What happened to you?

Gordon's bodyguards
were following me.

I lost control of the car

and I crashed into the river.

Almost drowned, but managed
to get out and swim to safety.

Yeah, but where have you been
this whole time?

Hiding out in my parents' house
in Savannah.

Why didn't you just let me know
where you were?

I was afraid
of what Gordon would do

if he found out where I was.

And I...

I thought you'd
be in Silicon Valley.

No.

I didn't marry Priya.

I'm sorry.

It was for the best.

Julian, there is something

that we need to talk about
that can't wait.

-Your cat.
-What?

I've been taking care of him.

You have Bailey? Wow.

Uh, thank you.

Uh, so... my shift is over.

If you want to come by,
reunite with Bailey,

-and talk some more...
-(laughs)

Sure. I'd love to talk.

* You shake me like
a tambourine *

* Like a tambourine,
like a tambourine *

* Yeah, you shake me like
a tambourine *

* Like a tambourine,
like a tambourine, yeah *

* Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh *

* Oh, oh *

* Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh *

* Oh, oh *

* Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh *

* Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh. *

(Bailey meows)

No ring on your finger.

You still haven't given Micah
your answer?

I make decisions based
on rational thought,

long-term analysis,

and coldhearted logic.
That takes time.

Emotion needs to factor
into that, too.

Talk later.

Come on,
you can't dodge Micah forever.

He deserves an answer.

I'll handle my situation
with Micah

-if you handle yours with Alec.
-What situation?

You're never at the clinic
when he's there.

You're avoiding him. Why?

-Talk later.
-Mm-hmm.

-Am I night owl
or an early bird?
-CARA: Uh-huh.

Well, I guess it depends
on the company.

And how is the company so far?
(laughs)

Let me just say
I'm here for you.

Okay. How do you feel
about co-pays?

-Well...
-(bell dings)

-Are you single?
-(Conrad laughs)

Uh, I think
you're in the wrong place.

This isn't really speed dating.

We're helping patients
find doctors.

Oh, I know.
But my mom's been begging me

to find a nice doctor
to bring home, so...

No. Uh, just...

-No.
-Okay.
-(bell dings)

-Craziest disease
I've ever treated?
-(bell dings)

The weirdest place
I've practiced medicine.

(bell dings)

Valerie, right?

That gymnast training
for the Olympics.

Doctors who listen
and retain information.

-It's like Christmas.
-(chuckles)

Look, uh, my whole life has been
about getting into the Olympics.

I moved away from my family
to train at the best club,

sacrificed having friends,
delayed going to college.

But a few weeks ago,
I had some shortness of breath

and dizziness
that came out of nowhere.

And I sprained my calf
a few days ago,

but it could be because
of the extra training hours.

-Well, to be safe,
we could examine you.
-Hmm.

(tongue clicks)
But which doctor to choose?

Two for the price of one.

Let's see how this shakes out.
So, what's wrong with me?

ALEC:
I didn't hear any murmurs
in your heart

-and your lungs sound clear.
-No signs of edema.

We'll do a CBC
to rule out anemia.

We'll run an EKG
to have a look at your heart.

Valerie, you did good, girl.

(laughter)

Any pain besides the shoulder?

My back has been giving me
the blues, but that's old news.

I want to check your gait.
Let's take a loop.

(grunts)

Ooh, ooh.
(laughs)

I'd know that bum anywhere.

-Hello, sweet cheeks.
-(both laugh)

BOTH:
Mwah.

-First husband.
-You mean best husband.

Well, number two was a bit of a
bore. What are you doing here?

That's between me and my doctor,

not between me,
my doctor and my ex-wife.

We have two children and a
grandchild. I beg to differ.

I bought Josie a scooter,

and I took it for a test ride
and I failed the test.

-Brett...
-Though, to be fair,

that garbage truck
came out of nowhere.

I thought we agreed,
no gifts for Josie

-until her next report card.
-And when did "we" decide that?

When I said, "No gifts for Josie
until her next report card."

Ooh. Careful,
that's a little tender.

KIT:
Dr. Feldman, what did you feel?

Not 100% sure. I'll grab an
ultrasound, get a thorough look.

I got a call from Jessie's
doctors at her rehab.

She's fatigued and nauseous.

You think
this is residual effects

from the drug trial she was in?

I'm bringing her in
for some bloodwork.

-Let me help you with Jessie.
-Thanks,

-really, but I'm fine.
-Who's picking her up?

-Kyle.
-Kyle?

Jessie reconnected with him.
He offered to help.

(sighs)

Since when does Kyle
offer to help?

* Please let me
catch my breath *

* Let me catch my breath *

* Let me catch my *

* Okay, please,
let me catch my... *

Ah, come on, bring it in.

You know the drill.

Oh...

Gosh, I missed you, baby girl.

Glad you're doing okay.

-I missed you too, Daddy.
-Hop in. Let's go.

(tires screeching)

You broke up with Karen.

How could you
possibly know that?

Your blood pressure's high,
which usually means

you started smoking again,

and since she was
the only thing between you

and your hand-rolled
Cuban cigars...

Damn, she's good.

-Imagine being married to her.
-I liked Karen. What happened?

She wasn't the one.

And once you know that...
why waste time?

A focal dilation in the aorta
about 5.6 centimeters.

Add that
to his abdominal tenderness,

and Brett has
an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

I-It's an enlarged area
in the lower part of the aorta,

the major blood vessel
that supplies blood to the body.

Am I gonna die?

It's treatable.

We'll consult with our surgeons,
the best.

IRVING:
Until then, I'm gonna

put you on a drip to get
your blood pressure down

and admit you to the ICU.

ICU?

Come on, be straight with me.
Do we need to call the girls?

Yes, but don't worry.

I've got you.

DEVON:
That was incredible.

-Unless I'm kidding myself.
-No, you're not.

That was incredible.

-Then why are you making
a run for it?
-Uh, I'm not.

I'm not. I have a-a meeting
later this afternoon,

so I-I, um,
I need to get Bailey home

because he's clearly pissed
at me.

-(meows)
-(laughs)

Okay.

Look... I am figuring out

pretty much everything
in my life.

I just don't want you to get
caught up in that mess.

-You deserve better.
-Julian, stay.

Okay? Trust me, I am still
figuring out my own mess.

Maybe we do this together.

This was nice.

But I have to go.

(door closes)

Given the size and-and potential
for rupture with this triple A,

do you think he needs surgery?

Oh, there's no doubt in my mind.

Well, isn't there an alternative

that won't require him
to go under the knife?

He's the father
of your children. I get it.

Go on, get a second opinion.

Just quickly circle back to mine
before your first love

dies waiting.

This all looks good.

You don't have
to run these by me.

Just wanted to make sure.

Look, Nic,
you've been avoiding me

ever since I told you
how I feel about you.

(sighs)
No. Look, I just... I have

-a lot going on.
-Hey.

Hey.

Is that Valerie's blood work?

You guys sharing a patient?

-Yeah.
-Oh.

Cool. Well,
I will let you get back to it.

Valerie's EKG is normal.

So her heart is fine.

What if the intermittent
shortness of breath

and dizziness is a lung issue--
a pulmonary embolism?

Well, Valerie also
has calf pain.

Maybe it's a DVT.

Well, we should get a CT angio
to see what's going on.

No, I-I think a CT is premature.

Years on the road has taught me

that speed and efficiency
in diagnosis is key.

80 million CT scans
are done a year.

Many of them are unnecessary.

All right, fine.

We'll do it your way.

For now.

(Bell inhales)

I agree with Dr. Austin.

Brett's gonna need surgery.

-Well, thank you
for taking a look.
-BRETT: Ditto.

It's not every day you get seen
by the hospital CEO.

Happy to do it.
Kit's a friend.

When he says "friend,"
does he mean good friend?

-No. Stop it.
-Another F.O.W.?

-I mean, haven't you had enough
of those?
-BELL: F.O.W.?

What am I missing?

Stop worrying about me.

Just this once,

I'll let you worry about me.

All right, I checked upstairs.
They're gonna let me know

when they're ready for you.
How you feeling?

-Tired and just still nauseous.
-Well, if your blood work

-comes back inconclusive,
we'll tag in Conrad.
-KYLE: How's he doing?

Things still good
between you two?

(exhales)

Fine. Yeah.

Things are... things are great.

-How was the drive?
-KYLE: Traffic jam.

We'd still be staring at bumpers
if I hadn't improvised

a well-timed U-turn,
creating my own lane.

Which worked like a charm until
we saw the flashing lights

-behind us.
-Yeah, okay, look.

I'm developing this app to help
the people who keep us safe.

FBI, firefighters, cops.
It's a dream of mine.

So, I get to talking to
this very handsome young officer

-who pulls us over.
-(chuckles)

And I told him
about this passion of mine.

Nic, ask yourself.
What if law enforcement agencies

could share information

ten times faster
than they do right now?

Huh? Game changer.

The cop loved the pitch,
and Dad promised

to drive like a normal person,
so no ticket, no big deal.

I thought your dream job was
at that real estate firm

after you left
your other dream job

reinventing
public transportation.

Fickle markets.

I read the tea leaves,
and thankfully...

You'll need to know a lot
about programming.

Sweetheart, I can hire other
people to dig into the details.

-Right.
-(pager buzzing)

-They... are ready for you.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait, wait, wait.
You know what?

What if I converted my app

to help
the health care industry?

What do you think?
That sounds amazing.

Yeah. Yeah, it does.

We should get going.

(beeping)

ALEC:
You have a deep vein
thrombosis--

a blood clot in your leg.

That's why
you were having calf pain.

Yeah, we want
to put you on blood thinners

to treat this clot
and stop it from getting worse.

Valerie...

you will need to suspend
your training for a few months.

A bad fall could cause
internal bleeding.

No. No, if I do that, I won't be
ready for the qualifiers,

and I'll miss out
on joining the Olympic team.

Look, I'm 18.

That's old for my sport.
This is my last shot.

We wouldn't ask this of you if
your life didn't depend on it.

Hey, you know, Valerie,

my sister...

...she had the same condition.

And she was torn between

playing professional
basketball...

and taking this treatment.

She chose her career
and lost her life.

I can't watch you make
the same mistake.

Okay.

Give me the blood thinners.

I'm sorry about your sister.

When did she pass?

She lives in Buffalo.

Please tell me you didn't
just lie to our patient.

Well, I could,
but that would be a lie.

We don't coerce patients into
treatments they don't want.

Even if it's for their own good

and they don't understand
what they're choosing?

That's why we take the time

to explain it to them.

Look, when I treated people

in underserved communities,

I didn't have the luxury
of time.

I did what I had to do
to save my patient's life.

Yeah, but you're not
out there anymore, are you?

-You're at Chastain.
-Yeah, and maybe

you've been in here
way too long.

Are you sure you were
a medic in Afghanistan?

Oh, I know who I am.

Question is who are you?

CONRAD:
I've been summoned.

Must be important.

Dad, what's going on?

I'm leaving Chastain.

Leaving?

Why? Was there
a shake-up on the board?

No. I resigned.

I came here to rebuild
our relationship

and we've done that.

Yeah, we just got
to a great place.

I know.

And, as a result
of your influence,

I've come to realize

that I want to use
my vast resources

to change the medical industry
for the better.

But you can do that here.

There's still work to be done.

But there's even more
in the device industry.

I'm considering

-righting the QuoVadis ship.
-What?

-Why?
-I am putting that plan

-together as we speak.
-Dad...

I think you are making
a huge mistake.

-We should discuss this
over dinner.
-(pager buzzing)

It's important to me
that you're on board.

Fine.

Oh, thanks for being here.

I know you have got
a lot on your plate

and more important things to do.

Nothing's more important
than you.

Listen, I'm s-sorry,
I-I just got to ask.

"F.O.W."?

If you don't tell me, it's just
gonna keep me up all night.

Brett knows I write
my dance card in pencil.

He was asking if you were
my current "flavor of the week."

As an ex-husband,

I find it interesting
that Brett cares.

He wants me to be happy.

And in his mind, happiness
includes finding someone

to share my life with.

Which is sweet,
considering I broke his heart

into a million pieces.

I was dedicated to my career,
wanted out.

Didn't have it in me
to end our marriage,

so I gave him a reason
to divorce me.

I cheated on him.

(Bell sighs)

I s-sometimes wonder if I...

should have fought harder
to have a marriage and a career.

One of them would have suffered.

Yeah, see,
people like you and me--

we believe that.

And here we are.

Alone.

Well, it seems appropriate
that we're both here

-in the ruins of QuoVadis.
-How so?

The information
that you gave my investigator--

that QuoVadis
made their devices in China--

started the chain of events
that led to this.

Thank you for convincing me
to come forward.

-Hmm.
-And for not telling anyone

where I was.
What was the final nail

in the QuoVadis coffin?

It was a study.

Called "SEVER."

20 people were implanted
with a VNS device

and 15 of them died.

Oh, my God.

But my experience here
has shown me that we need

medical device companies
that care about their patients.

So I'm thinking...

about buying, rebranding

and retooling QuoVadis.

Okay.

Uh, but why am I here?

Because I was moved by your
speech at the M&M.

See, I bet on people.

And not the letters
after their name.

I wish I could share
your vision,

but I don't know what
I believe in anymore.

MARSHALL:
Yes, you do.

You believe that the industry

needs to be changed.

Gordon used words
just like that.

-Yeah, that's not me.
-That remains to be seen.

I have to do my homework on you
before I give you an answer.

Very well.

You'll let me know
what you decide.

AUSTIN:
Administer the anesthesia.

(rapid beeping)

CHU:
He's having
a hypertensive crisis.

Despite the meds
we've given him.

MINA:
Systolic pressure's at 250.
If we don't stabilize

-his BP...
-He'll bleed out and die
before we make a single cut.

AUSTIN:
Phentolamine, now.

(beeping stops)

MINA:
This is a temporary fix.

We can't go forward until we get
his hypertension under control.

Till then, we need
to abort the surgery.

She still in there? How long
you think it's gonna be?

Well, these things can
take a while, so,

-if there's somewhere else
you need to be, just go.
-Ouch.

Nic, what's the problem?

Why are you here, Kyle?

I thought you could use
an extra hand with Jessie.

An extra hand?
Seriously?

I was going to Jessie's
parent-teacher conferences

when I was 16.

Where were you when I had
to bail her out of jail

on my prom night,
or when she OD'd last year?

Or the year before that?

-Ah, sweetheart, how'd it go?
-Fine. You know.

They won't have the results
till tomorrow.

So, um, see you at home?

Yeah, yeah.
Call if there's anything.

JESSIE:
Oh, we'll be fine.

I got this guy to wait
on me hand and foot.

-Yeah, you do.
-We'll make dinner.

-Love you.
-Love you.

KYLE:
I'm thinking lobster thermidor.

JESSIE: (laughs)
I bet you are.

(knocking)

I was a jerk. You were sweet,
and it's not who I am.

Not that that's an excuse,
but can I come in?

We should have started
with this conversation

and not, you know, sex.

But it happened,
and we can't take it back.

-Would you?
-No.

No.
That's-that's not the point.

The point is you were
great and kind.

I want to take you out
for dinner.

My treat.

A thank you for
taking care of Bailey.

And time for us
to talk about everything.

You, me, what the hell
we're gonna do with our lives.

Mostly mine.

-Before you say no...
-I wasn't gonna say no.

Good.

How long do you think
he'll be staying with you?

You know Kyle. When things
get tough, he'll bail.

Not too long ago, the same
could have been said about me.

Well, you wanted to change.
He doesn't.

Anyway, enough about my dad.

What about yours?

I heard rumors.

(groans)
They're true.

He's leaving Chastain
to pursue a new passion.

I don't know.
I should be happy.

But part of me
just feels like...

Like he's leaving you again.

Yeah.

VALERIE:
I need help!

(coughing)

CONRAD:
Valerie, what's going on?

I'm scared.
I don't know what's going on.

NIC:
She has hemoptysis.

She needs a CT now.

(Valerie groaning)

There's a sharp pain
in my stomach.

Add an abdomen pelvis sequence.

(beeping)

Valerie doesn't have a uterus.

ALEC:
Incredible. What's going on?

Her ovaries aren't cystic,
and there's no torsion.

What if they're masses?
They are smaller.

Inflammation caused by cancer
could explain the DVT

and the abdominal pain.

We need to schedule
a biopsy.

These are cancerous cells.

Well, that explains
the pelvic pain and DVT.

Wait, I see sertoli cells.

Seminiferous tubules.

Are you saying our female
gymnast has testicular cancer?

Did you get sneaky
and go behind my back?

I was supposed to pay
for dinner. That was the deal.

Okay, the chef remembered me
from the ER on Valentine's Day.

I saved his pinky, which meant

-he could cook dinner
for his wife.
-(laughs)

He insisted on covering
our meal.

That's romantic-adjacent.

Pretty impressive.

(both chuckle)

Hey, can I ask you
about your wedding?

I've been secretly hoping
I wasn't the reason

it all blew up.

You know, if I was..

truly in love with Priya,

I wouldn't have
had feelings for you.

Now, what I don't know is...

I did and I do

have feelings for you.

And now you're back.

With a job offer
from Marshall Winthrop.

I don't know if
I should take it.

To be honest,
it scares me a little.

Wait, that's a good thing.

If it doesn't scare you,
it's probably not worth doing.

It's our job as parents
to push our kids.

You tell your husband
to get on the train,

-but let you drive.
-Oh, yeah.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

You came to see Mr. Winthrop,
and I talked your ear off.

Oh, that's okay.
Is-is he available?

Uh, well, you don't
have an appointment,

and he has
a board meeting soon, so...

Well, good news is
I have another appointment

and a board meeting myself,

so I'll just be five minutes.

Not to mention my daughter
is dating his son.

Mr. Winthrop, I put Mr. Nevin

-on the schedule
for a quick hello.
-Hey, there.

Kyle Nevin.
Nic's father.

It's great to finally
meet you.

A pleasure.

Your daughter is the best thing
that's ever happened to my son.

Well, what, uh,
what brings you by?

Marshall...

yeah, I've spent
my entire career

building a brand
with little regard

for anyone other than myself.

It's always been about me.
My legacy.

Now I find myself
wanting to give back.

So I'm on the cusp
of revolutionizing the way

doctors communicate
with their patients.

It's a very personal
venture for me.

I'd like to keep it
in the family.

So, I'd love to explore
a partnership...

if you're interested.

Unfortunately, I'm not looking

for new business opportunities.

But I wish you the best of luck.

Ah.

Okay.
(chuckles)

Thank you.

Thank you for your time.

Hey, you know where to find me.

We got to figure out
Brett's hypertension pronto.

We had to put him into
a medically-induced coma.

Well, you just rescanned him.
Tell me you learned something.

A mass in his right adrenal.

I think it's a pheochromocytoma.

I mean, it produces hormones
that spike blood pressure.

MINA:
We paged the lab
to add on plasma

and urine metanephrines
to confirm.

How bad is this?

Well, it's-it's bad.

AUSTIN:
Look at that.
The aneurysm is dissecting

and blocking
flow to the kidneys,

so if we don't operate,

we risk organ failure
and possibly death.

If they operate on Brett
with an uncontrolled pheo,

he could have
a hypertensive crisis,

leading to a stroke,
a brain bleed or...

rupture of his aneurysm.

This is an impossible choice.

And it's-it's one
we don't get to make.

This is up to his
power of attorney.

Did he list one on his intake?

He did.

You.

My ovaries are
actually testicles?

That never descended.
It's a genetic condition

known as androgen
insensitivity syndrome.

The disorder prevented
your male DNA from processing

testosterone in utero.

And because you could
only process estrogen,

you were born with external
female characteristics.

-But now one of those testicles
has cancer.
-ALEC: Yes.

But the good news is
the cancer didn't get far.

CONRAD:
Once we remove your testes,

you have a high chance
of full recovery.

And knowing you, cancer's
the underdog in this fight.

What does this all make me?

-Who am I?
-The same person
you've always been.

Did the testosterone
give me an edge?

Then the Olympic committee
could deem me ineligible.

I just traded
one obstacle for another.

Look, we've only been together
a couple days,

all right?
But game recognizes game.

You're like me.
You break down doors.

When one closes,
we climb through windows.

Windows won't open,
we barrel through the ceiling.

We chew up obstacles and
find a way to move forward

no matter what.

None of that changes,

unless you let it.

So what's it gonna be, Valerie?

Let's remove these bad boys.

I have the Olympics
to train for.

What man puts his life
into the hands

of the woman who broke
his heart?

A man capable of forgiveness.

I guess that's true.

I don't know why
he's forgiven me.

What am I supposed
to do, Randolph?

There is no logical choice.

Well, you know, sometimes
logic just goes out the window,

and you have to trust
your instincts.

I know Brett wouldn't
want to wait.

Send him to the OR.

Okay.

(buzzing)

MINA:
Micah, hi.

Wow. I'd nearly given up on you.

I've been considering
your proposal.

We need to talk.

I know.

I assume you have your answer?

Well, your record appears
to be different from the man

you say you are today.

I don't take gambles on men
I don't know. Not anymore.

Well, I'm sorry you won't be
working for me.

That doesn't mean
I won't take your money.

I want to start a nonprofit
that will hold device companies

like QuoVadis and the FDA
accountable.

Something that will become
a solution to this epidemic.

I knew I was right about you.

JESSIE:
Hey, w-what's going on?
Why do I need to be in the ER?

Your potassium levels
are elevated.

Okay, well, what does that mean?
Am I gonna be okay?

Um, we just need to try
to normalize your levels.

-Okay.
-Here, why don't you
lie down here.

Hang a liter and let's get her
up on the monitors.

I need to talk to Kyle
for a second.

You pitched your thing
to Marshall.

You used my name
and put my boyfriend's father

in the position to have to
reject your offer.

I mean, do you see how weird
this is for everybody?

-He struck up a conversation.
-You orchestrated this.

-That's why you're at Chastain.
-Don't you do this.

-I am here for Jessie.
-You called me weeks

before Jessie needed
to leave rehab.

You knew that Conrad's father
was chairman of the board,

and when I didn't
return your call,

you just found another way in.

It doesn't mean
I'm not here for her.

Okay, yes, look...

I know I crossed a line.

But I'm telling you,
if this app takes off...

(Nic sighs)

...we'll never have to worry
about money again.

I did this for the two of you.

I can't...

It could be my legacy.

You think this app

is gonna change your legacy?

Growing up, our school
didn't have your number

for emergencies,
they had our neighbor's.

Even the nurse knew
that our father

couldn't be trusted to be there.

There isn't one person who
relies on you in a time of need.

That is your legacy.

Look, Jessie needs
stability, okay?

If that's not you, just leave.

Nic...

this time I'm here.

For her, for you.

You're just gonna have
to give me a shot to prove it.

-You mind if I join you?
-Oh, I prefer it.

There aren't enough bones
in this surgery.

I'm bound to get lost
in the weeds.

Well, I can walk you through it
if that's helpful.

It is. And thanks again
for being here for me.

Well, Brett's under, his blood
pressure seems to be holding.

So we're already off
to a great start.

You know what's even more
helpful? Honesty.

Don't sugarcoat this.

Walk me through it
like a surgeon.

So, by manipulating the pheo,
it could release

even more "catecholamine"
hormones into his body,

causing a hypertensive crisis,

resulting in a stroke
or rupture.

That's more like it.
Thank you.

(Bell exhales)

Now what's Dr. Austin doing?

He's trying to get control
of the distal

and proximal abdominal aorta,
and this way,

if the aneurysm ruptures,
he can clamp it off immediately

so Brett doesn't bleed out.

AUSTIN:
Gerald Forceps and vessel loops
for the iliacs.

Right angle to Mina.

(monitor beeping rapidly)

Chu, I need you to max out
those drips.

CHU:
We maxed out two minutes ago.

-NOLAN:
Austin, do you have control yet?
-If he can't get control?

He will. These are
our most talented surgeons.

NOLAN:
U-Uh, guys,
I think he's gonna stroke out.

-We need to abort.
-MINA: If we abort now,
we'll never get

another shot at this.
It's now or never.

Dr. Austin.

AUSTIN:
Dr. Okafor.

Aortic clamp.

We now have proximal

and distal control.

I am ready to open up
that aneurysm sac.

Potts Scissors to me.

Nolan, your days of being
a wallflower are over.

Come join the party, brother.

Aortic graft is going in.

-BP's normalizing.
-(exhales)

Brett's almost there.

God, the nonprofit
sounds awesome, Julian.

-(laughs)
-And you got Marshall on board?

-Impressive.
-You should know

that a teeny, tiny part

of what you said was helpful.

Oh, yeah?

-Which teeny, tiny part?
-(chuckles)

"If it doesn't scare you,
it isn't worth doing."

I lost my life once as a dancer
and then in a job

that I settled for.

What scares me is living a life
without meaning.

It is inspiring to watch you
dedicate yourself

to moving the needle
in health care.

-And I know you will.
-I'll have to devote everything

to making this project work,
which means

leaving Atlanta
and traveling the world.

I understand.

Now is not our time.

Well, eventually,
I'll have my sea legs.

You'll have your research year.

-And who knows what'll happen?
-True.

And we still have tonight.

And I want to make
the most of it.

So we got Valerie all set up
for her surgery.

A hundred says she wins
a gold medal.

I'll put a grand on seeing her
face on a box of cereal one day.

Ooh. High roller.

(laughs)

No dice.

She's sharp,
you're probably right.

So, listen,
about our disagreement...

Look...

we're just two doctors who
do things differently, right?

Which means we probably
shouldn't work together again.

But if you ever want
to grab a beer...

Yeah.

I know where to find you.

-(Nic sighs)
-CONRAD: How's Jessie?

Well, we stabilized her,
but her kidneys are failing.

Is the damage reversible?

We don't know yet. There are
still more tests to be done.

Sorry to interrupt.

Conrad.

Kyle.

I was talking to Jessie.
Do you think

her kidney damage
is related to her opioid use?

No. It's most likely
experimental meds she was given

during a drug trial.

Well, I-I know we're gonna
get through this.

The Nevins will do whatever it
takes to help one of their own.

That is, if I'm welcome.

Let's go see her together.

You've died
and gone to hell, darling.

(both chuckle)

You'll be in critical condition
for the next week

and in physical therapy
for at least six months.

But I'll guide you
through both...

if that's okay with you.

I care about you, Micah.

More than I ever thought
I could for anyone.

Really? Because I haven't heard
from you in weeks.

Well, I was weighing the pros
and cons of your proposal.

I... I don't like
to make decisions

-based solely on emotions.
-Look, maybe we should just...

But yes.

Yes, I...

will marry you.

* You should be with him,
I can't compete... *

(laughs)

I love you.

You know that.
But Mina,

I need to be with someone
who loves me on the same level.

-I-I do love you.
-I know.

But these past few weeks
have made it very clear.

We're not supposed
to be together.

I'm sorry.

* When you got to run *

* Just hear my voice in you *

* My voice in you *

* Shutting me out of you *

* Shutting me out of you... *

I should let you pack.

I should let you sleep.

You have an early shift.

Somehow...

work is not on my mind.

Yeah. Suitcases, neither.

(both chuckle)

I have an idea
that'll get us out of bed.

One last dance.

(music playing)

I love that idea.

* Night around you *

* Is what night becomes *

* Lake becomes an ocean... *

(laughs)

Well, look at you.

-A left foot and a right foot.
-(chuckles)

Just wait till
you see me next time.

I'll have hips, too.

* Please don't *

* Please don't make
a fool of me *

* Please don't make... *

If you feel like you've found
your next calling,

then I'm happy for you.

Well, thank you,

but I want to do our exit
differently than last time.

Last time, I would've
ushered you right out the door.

(chuckles)

Now...

I'm considering
locking you inside.

Son, I-I'm leaving town,

I'm not leaving your life.

I want to see you often.

And I'll be making
many trips to Atlanta.

You know what?

Why wait for that?

Maybe we finally take
that trip to Anguilla.

And you would actually go?

Dad, I told you things
have changed between us.

I'll send you a few dates,
we'll put it in the books.

I'd love that.

Hey, Nic.

Look, I don't mean
to add to your stress,

but we can't just keep
avoiding each other.

Right? I mean, my feelings
aren't just gonna change.

Alec...

Conrad and I have fought long
and hard for our relationship,

and we've been through it.

But I love him.

But if you and Conrad
weren't together?

Look, right now, the work
we're doing at the clinic

should be our only focus.

Let's not complicate things.
