Doc (US) (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Previously, on Doc
Dr. Larsen has no recollection
of the last eight years.
But we're letting her audit
their cases anyway?
His arrhythmia was less benign
than everyone thought.
He was on a school trip
and his heart gave out.
And we couldn't handle the grief?
How am I supposed to tell her
that I don't even
- live with her?
- What happened, Michael?
- I can't do this here.
- Can I see the Dixon results?
One thing didn't add up.
Toxicology showed beta blockers,
but they weren't listed
on administered meds.
Trying to get into my old emails.
I thought eight years of information
might trigger some memories.
[DUCKS CALLING]
Well, Dad, I finally got you back.
[EXHALES]
I'm never gonna give up.
- Spare a dollar?
- Uh, sorry, no cash.
[MAN GRUNTING]
Did you seriously think
I was gonna fall for
[CHOKING]
[GASPING]
Hey! Oh my God.
Miss Hey, Miss, you okay?
You okay? Oh my God. Someone call 911!
This better be good. Or really bad.
Okay, 48 hours of deep diving
into my electronic past
and this is what I've got:
hundreds of sharp, curt,
sarcastic texts to Michael,
but somehow all of them
without much substance.
And then a two-week period
in September 2018
that's completely missing.
That was when you found out Katie
was reading your text messages.
You deleted that part of the chain
and you were a lot more
careful after that.
Well, apparently I wasn't
so careful on video.
"Marriage counselor suggests
we review this"?
Happy birthday to me!
Happy birthday to moi!
- Happy birthday to the greatest!
- [LAUGHS]
Happy birthday to you!
Oh my God.
- Is that what you call dancing?
- Well, no!
You're so embarrassing!
Go be with your friends then.
[EXHALES]
[MICHAEL]: Pretty great, huh?
Yeah. One big happy family.
'Kay. Maybe you want to keep
your voice down with the snark.
Yes, sir.
Everything can't be
about the holy Amy Larsen
and we can't be split into factions.
You want peace? Maybe don't
call her "brain-damaged"
in front of the entire department.
I'm sorry I offended.
Meantime, I'm a third-year resident
and you're an intern rounding with me.
So, you'll put your feelings
about all this aside
and follow my lead.
I never had an allergic
reaction to food before,
so I don't know if it
was the shrimp or peanuts maybe,
but my throat just started closing up.
Diminished breath sounds,
can hear crackles bilaterally.
How'd you get the cuts on your arms?
- I tinker with engines.
- Oh, you a mechanic?
Planes, not cars.
This was just supposed to be a short
trip. I gotta get back to Houston.
Fort Polk or Cavazos?
DOD number on your back
kind of gave you away.
I am a Marine. Inactive Reserves.
- You serve?
- Combat medic.
- Ranger. Four years.
- Impressive.
Your oxygen level's still low,
and your chest X-rays show
some airway collapse
and pulmonary congestion
from the anaphylaxis.
Well, what are you
worried about? I mean,
that's gonna heal with time, right?
Well, it should,
but we need to make sure
there wasn't any serious injury
to your lungs.
Did you throw up?
Or feel like you aspirated?
No, no, just my throat was
[COUGHING]
Can I see the chart, please?
[TENSE MUSIC]
Paramedics said when
they brought you in,
you were clutching onto
that canister. What's in it?
My father's ashes.
Oh, sorry.
No. He died a year and a half ago.
Donated his body to science,
and they just
[COUGHING]
I came back to take him home.
Are you taking corticosteroids?
No, why would you ask me that?
Your blood analysis shows
low levels of cortisol.
Which could be Which is probably
a result of the anaphylaxis.
Any history of adrenal issues?
Addison's Disease?
No, no. Never been sick
a day in my life.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Yeah. Your oxygen levels
and your blood pressure's
normal, so except for that
goose egg on your forehead,
I'd say you're doing fine.
Imagine wearing this
"goose egg" on your face
and having no idea how it got there.
Yeah, yeah, that's gotta be rough.
Rough is not getting the corner table
at Spoon and Stable on a Saturday night.
Dementia at 62 years old?
You're going to have to find
a more vivid adjective
than the pathetically pedestrian,
utterly minimizing one
that you just opted for.
- Yes, Ma'am, I
- Oh, don't "ma'am" me now!
Your "aw shucks" affect
may be a winning formula
with the nurses, but it's frankly just
an irritating pander for me.
Hello, Ms. Reinhold.
I'm told you were asking for me.
I didn't ask for
Wait! I remember you.
You're that simpering wannabe
I never liked in the first place.
Now where is the Chief? Dr. Larsen!
- Uh, Ms. Larsen
- Doctor, Dr. Larsen.
She'll be here in a minute.
Yes, go ahead. Consult, consult.
Whatever you do, don't mind me.
What do you think you're doing?
She has early-onset Alzheimer's.
She fell, she hit her head,
she doesn't recall it.
But she does remember her doctor,
and she's not gonna trust you
and me until she sees Amy.
I am a Rhodes Scholar, Oxford fellow,
and Dean of Applied Mathematics
at U. of M.,
and I demand to have my care supervised
by someone I'd consider a peer!
Yeah.
Hey, I need to talk to you.
Okay.
Happy birthday to you!
Oh my God, is that what
you call dancing?
- Well, no!
- You're so embarrassing!
Go be with your friends, then.
[EXHALES]
[MICHAEL]: Pretty great, huh?
Yeah. One big happy family.
'Kay. Maybe you want to keep
your voice down with the snark.
Yes, sir. Where are the gift bags?
Uh, I thought you brought them out.
No, Michael, that was your job.
Well, I guess if I'm not everywhere,
then things just have a tendency
to go wrong, don't they?
Today cannot be about Danny.
Don't come in here
and try to handle me, Gina.
[MICHAEL]: Okay,
I'm turning this off.
Oh, right, 'cause I'm the problem?
I assume you already
asked Gina about this.
Yeah. She didn't want
to get into detail.
Michael, why was I so angry at you?
[SCOFFS] I didn't bring out
- the gift bags.
- No, I
Okay, when I say,
"If I'm not everywhere,"
I meant the museum, didn't I?
We lost a child.
You know most couples
don't survive that.
Come on, Michael.
I am blaming you for something.
I'm blaming you for that day, right?
Oh my God.
You can't do this!
You know, you don't get to tell me
what I can and cannot do!
[TENSE MUSIC]
Michael, I know that I hurt you.
But I need to know what happened.
[KNOCKING, DOOR OPENING]
I'm so sorry to interrupt,
but you're needed on the Internal
Medicine floor right away.
I'll be right there.
[DOOR CLOSING]
Don't wait here.
I have nothing else to say about this.
[SIGHS]
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
You do understand we're not
leaving here without her?
I do not have the authority
to release her to you
and, frankly, I can't be sure
you have that authority.
We have the authority
of the United States Government,
so I'd appreciate your cooperation.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Sir, I'm going to have to ask
that you keep your voice down.
You are disturbing the patients
here and my staff
We're not disturbing
Dr. Coleman, are we?
[EXHALES] Dr. Coleman felt a duty
to call you, and we needed
access to her medical records,
but now you need to give us
space to do our work.
I'm Dr. Michael Hamda.
I run this hospital. You are?
Lieutenant Walter Branch, USMC.
We're here to transfer
Major Luna Elliott
to a military hospital forthwith.
I don't understand why
we're meeting such resistance.
I thought you said you were inactive.
What's going on here?
I lied. I-I'm sorry.
Respectfully, I understand
your position,
but, as I've already told you,
until we ascertain
the severity of her condition,
she should not be moved.
We have medical transport standing by
and can have her at
our facility within the hour.
I don't advise that.
I think it's best we have
a word with Major Elliott.
I have been taking steroids.
Just for the pain and recovery.
But they don't know, and if
they find out, I'm finished.
They're not gonna kick you out
of the Marines for that.
You don't understand;
I'm not just a Marine.
Uh, Major Elliott,
they want to talk to you.
Tell them I can't. Please.
O2 sats are dipping.
Them being here isn't helping.
Look, I don't want to get
into a pissing contest with you,
- but our patient's very
- Let me be clear.
Your patient is a United States
Marines test pilot
currently billeted
to the Johnson Space Center.
- She's an astronaut?!
- She's in training
for a space flight to
the International Space Station.
Grant me access,
or expect to hear from
the Department of Defense.
I'll await that call.
Now, if you don't mind,
there's a waiting room
over there for visitors.
Keep me posted.
[JAKE]: Hey, where's Dr. Larsen?
As I understand it,
she's not actually considered
- a doctor at the moment.
- Come on, give me a break,
Julie, you don't know
the rounding assignments?
She's supposed to be shadowing Dr. Park,
but I haven't seen her today.
- [DOOR OPENING]
- Oh, speak of the devil.
There you are.
I have got a mission for you,
should you choose to accept it.
- I'm intrigued.
- Good.
How's your method acting?
[KNOCKING]
Hey, look who I found.
- You want a gold star?
- You handing 'em out?
Millennials. Participation
trophy just for showing up.
- Yeah, okay, Boomer.
- At last,
- evidence of a backbone!
- All right, let's get this show
on the road. I don't have
all day. Are you in any pain?
- Well, I have a headache.
- Tell us about this fall.
- No recollection.
- Dizziness,
- migraines, blackouts?
- Your guess is as good as mine.
Well, I think you know I don't guess.
Let's have you walk for us for a bit.
Looks like some right hip weakness.
I'm gonna listen to your heart.
- No murmurs, rubs, or gallops.
- Are you really speaking
while I'm trying to listen?
Sorry, my bad.
Hmm. And her meds?
Just Memantine, 10 mg
twice a day for the Alzheimer's.
Any side effects?
I didn't see anything in the charts.
Maybe you should contact her neurologist
before you drag me in here
with incomplete information.
I am so sorry. Asking right now.
- Good to have her back?
- Yes.
When I said "follow my lead,"
this wasn't what I had in mind.
She lied about being in the Reserves
and she didn't have us
call her commanding officer.
It's called "failure to report,"
and it's unacceptable.
Well, I hope you didn't
tell them your theory
that she's hopped up on corticosteroids?
I ran some more tests on her blood,
and they came back inconclusive. So, no.
You ran unnecessary labs on your own,
then called the Defense Department.
- Without telling me?
- I guess we have different
ideas about loyalty.
Well, my loyalty's always
to the patient.
Which is why I'm gonna
tell you the truth:
she has been taking Medrol.
She experienced shortness
of breath last week,
assumed it was the meds,
got a new script for hydrocortisone
from her a la carte doctor.
Which is what caused
the allergic reaction.
- Very nice.
- Sounds like she's been getting
pretty banged up from all
her training exercises.
She was just trying not
to get herself bounced.
So she's been taking them for months.
Which is complicating
her medical situation.
I spoke to Dr. Miller.
Until she's in custody,
there will be legal discussions
at a much higher level
than ours, which will determine
whether we are compelled to reveal this.
So, mouth shut. Got it?
Yes, ma'am.
[EXHALES]
- [MICHAEL]: All right
- [DANNY]: Yay!
Last one, pal. You're gonna explode.
- Mwah!
- Hey! Katie,
stop torturing your brother.
- Can't. It's too much fun.
- Butt munch.
- Baby.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Knock it off. Get ready for school.
Okay, okay. That's it.
[DANNY WHINES]
- Why did we have kids again?
- Uh, because you wanted them.
No. No, no, no. It was all you.
We were at the lake and you said,
"Don't you think
we should start a family?"
And then you looked at me
with the sexy eyes.
Oh, yeah. No, I remember.
- Do you?
- Mm-hmm.
Good, well, keep those happy
thoughts in your mind
while you agree to take my place
on Danny's field trip today.
- That was sneaky.
- I know, but I have
this extremely obstinate
end-stage heart failure patient
who wants meds instead
of the LVAD that he needs.
And let me guess.
Only you can convince him.
Well. I mean, I am very convincing.
I guess I can move
some things around. For you.
Thank you.
[MICHAEL SCOFFS]
Mmm [CHUCKLING]
[KNOCKING]
Sorry, Dr. Hamda?
Bill Malden from the Department
of Defense called again
No. Tell him I'm in a meeting.
And Dr. Walker's here to see you.
[EXHALES]
You have bent over backwards
to help her.
I know how painful all of this is.
So when you asked me and Katie
to keep quiet about Nora's pregnancy,
I respected it.
I don't know what your plan is there,
but you asked,
so I'm going with your flow.
But this?
She has a right to know
what happened to her son.
And to her marriage.
And not the watered-down
Cliff Notes version
you've been selling her.
So I'm obligated to put myself
through this again.
That's what you walked in here to say?
Yes.
You here as her psychiatrist
or as her friend?
'Cause it feels like
you're wearing too many hats.
You can't leave her in the dark forever.
And if you don't tell her,
eventually I'll have to.
[MACHINE WHIRRING, BEEPING]
Some patchy areas of consolidation
in the lower lobes.
Swelling of the left node,
small pleural effusion.
Looks like pulmonary edema, too.
- Likely from the Medrol.
- Maybe.
What happened with the PFTs?
Recent insult,
looks like another process
likely preceded it.
We're thinking pneumonia.
[EXHALES] Yeah, definitely pneumonia.
And we just got her labs.
Her white count's up to 19.
- How's her fever?
- The last one was 101.8.
Cough's getting worse, more productive,
chills, sweating, headaches.
Start broadspectrum antibiotics,
chest physical therapy,
Lasix to diurese some of this
fluid from the corticosteroids.
Well, I'm assuming they're
no longer trying to move her.
Well, this definitely
helps our case to keep her.
I'd very much like
to go home now, please!
Unless you're enjoying
the Poke and Prod clinic
you've been doing with my body!
In which case, by all means,
keep me here
until I completely lose my mind!
And I mean that literally!
Unfortunately.
- So, we think she had a TIA.
- Mm-hmm.
- Why?
- She has right hip flexion
weakness on walking, and no right
hip weakness in her history.
Well, she's sore. She just took a fall.
She's 62 with early onset.
A sudden fall seven months
into her diagnosis
And she has no memory
the moments right before.
Any history of coronary artery disease?
No.
Valvular heart disease? Arrhythmias?
- No.
- And my cholesterol's fine!
Not even on statins!
Guess her hearing's fine, too.
And I'm not interested in any TIA!
Unless you're talking about that
snappy number from "A Chorus Line."
It can't hurt to do a brain MRI.
You want to put that woman
through a 45-minute brain scan
based on an intuition that defies
the rest of her history
and exam findings? No.
No, get a hip X-ray,
rule out a fracture and send her home.
Not appreciating
the clandestine whispering!
Now, please. You stay.
[EXHALES]
I'm sure you think that was about
me not trusting your instincts
- Wh-
- I need you to know something.
After Danny died, you changed,
in terms of how you practiced medicine.
The simplest explanation
for anything wasn't good enough.
You tested and overtested
and for every time you found
that esoteric diagnosis,
there were 50 times
it went the other way.
I knew it was that you didn't
want to miss anything,
but it wasn't fair to the patients,
and that's not how I'm going
to run this department.
Thank you, Richard.
Not everyone is willing
to tell me what I need to hear.
Yeah, I'm meeting her in the cafeteria.
Okay, that's news to me. Um
When was this planned?
A couple days ago. Why?
I'm afraid she's gonna ask you things
you're not gonna want to talk about.
About Danny, you mean.
Exactly, yes.
So you want me to bail?
She's already on her way down here.
No, I don't just
Look, if she starts
to talk about that day
or if it feels like too much,
you can go.
- Just take care of yourself.
- I will. I get it.
Okay, just call me after, okay?
Hi, Dr. Hamda, you can go on in.
[CLEARS THROAT]
I've been summoned.
Guess you forgot how much
federal funding we get?
Department of Defense threatened us?
You'd know if you bothered
to take their calls.
Something more important going on today?
- No, I
- It's Amy, right?
I heard that she has been
stalking through the Admin wing.
No idea why you stuck your neck
out for her in the first place,
since she's been nothing
but a pain in the ass
ever since you took the job.
Well, she's built
an Internal Medicine Department
with a stellar reputation
you can't buy at any price.
That's yesterday's news.
And you have burned
all your political capital
on this little experiment.
Which is why I've handed over
the astronaut.
You're serious?
Feel free to thank me
for taking it off your plate.
[SCOFFS]
[LT. BRANCH]: I told you.
It's been decided.
She has severe pneumonia.
She's not remotely stable to transport!
Then maybe you're not doing your jobs,
and it's better we take a crack at it.
You can't take her now! Her lab's
going in the wrong direction.
[CHOKING]
She's seizing! Towards you.
- Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn.
- Get them out of here!
- What's happening to her?
- Step back! Now!
- [MACHINE ALARMS BLARING]
- Okay.
- Oxygen, please. Oxygen.
- Okay. Luna, you're all right.
You're all right, Luna.
Yeah, no, it's going okay, I guess.
I mean, for a half-doctor
who doesn't remember
anyone she works with.
[CHUCKLING]
So, uh, Dad said you might
want to talk about
what happened with Danny?
What? No. No, I not with you.
I figured I'd just throw it out there,
in case it's, like,
the elephant in the room.
No, sweetheart. That's between
me and your father.
The last thing I would want
is to drag you into it.
Okay. Yeah.
No, it must be so hard for you,
and I know you don't want to talk about
anything that's already happened.
I do have to ask you,
because I have this feeling
that I
Did I forget about you, Katydid?
[EXHALES SHAKILY]
You haven't called me that in forever.
I just, I just Everyone says
that I put up walls. And I
Did I do that with you, too?
Did I just stop seeing you?
Oh, sweetheart.
I'm so sorry, Katie.
I'm so sorry.
I'm gonna make it up to you.
Just not all at once. Okay?
What the hell are you doing?
- Nothing, I
- Katie, come on.
- I'm taking you home.
- No, I'm fine, Dad.
I can't believe
you would do this to her!
We're not talking
about Danny! Stop this!
Wha Why were you crying?
Because
we were connecting.
So, can you please just
[SOFT MUSIC]
You'll feel a slight pinch
from the lidocaine,
and then I need you to stay very still.
Are you all right?
Just shortness of breath.
Nothing I can't white-knuckle through.
Unless it acts up while
you're orbiting the Earth.
Please don't move. And Dr. Coleman,
maybe don't provoke her?
Sorry. He's just got me all wrong.
You know, my dad taught me
how to fly a plane
when I was 10 years old.
I may be a speed junkie,
but I got it from him.
He always wanted to be
an astronaut before my mom died,
and then he grounded himself
and spent all his time teaching me
everything he knew about
the constellations,
and the galactic quadrants,
and just the wonders of space.
He said
the only thing better
than reaching the stars
would be to
watch me do it for him.
So this time, I was gonna
take his ashes with me
and tell him that we finally made it.
Don't give up on that.
We're gonna do everything we can
to get you ready for it.
Coming out under lots of pressure.
Doesn't look cloudy.
We'll send some of it to the lab.
What does that mean?
We'll know when we see the MRI.
The bottom line is she is one
of 42 people in America
who's even remotely capable
of going into space.
We've invested 11 years
into her training.
So we need control over her situation.
We understand your point
of view on this, Lieutenant.
And of course you have orders
from people very high up
on your food chain.
But that seizure indicates
a neurological issue
on top of the pneumonia.
So we'd like you to consider
the position we are in.
Now, if we pull the plug
on all these protocols
- and release her
- You'll have legal liabilities.
Yes, I understand. And that's
what this comes down to.
Right? C.Y.A.
C.Y.A.?
This is a question of our medical ethics
- and protecting our patient.
- As we've stated,
it's 45 minutes to Fort McCoy.
We can easily keep her
stabilized on the Medevac.
We'll sign a release exempting
you of any responsibility.
I'll say this.
If something happens
to her on that helicopter,
who's gonna take the heat?
The politicos filling up my phone sheet,
or the man with boots
on the ground here?
[SIGHS]
You guys want to keep her here?
Then we need to see
your complete medical records
from the time she landed in your E.R.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING]
Neurologist said to continue
with the home meds
and just try not to worry.
So-called neurologist.
I've done everything he's told me to do,
all these stupid exercises.
Nothing stops the
Everything just keeps fading away.
Like a tunnel of darkness.
I understand.
More than you know.
Oh come on, you're at the top of your
Top of the
Ms. Reinhold?
Cece? Cece?
I don't understand. What's
It's okay.
We're gonna figure out
what's going on with you.
I promise.
She's stabilized now,
but it was definitely another TIA.
So, brain CT/CT perfusion,
then Doppler, EKG?
We should do a chest C
while she's in the scanner.
If it shows it wasn't a major
hemorrhagic stroke,
- start her on aspirin and Plavix.
- Of course.
Thank you. [SIGHS]
Well, looks like maybe I made a mistake.
And I'm not here to make
anyone's life harder.
It's an imperfect science.
It's an art.
Which makes it even messier.
And I'll keep in mind
what you said before.
I'm Dr. Franco. Pathology.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
You didn't need to come
all the way up here to find me.
Oh, no. I like to leave
the morgue every now and then.
Reminds me why I prefer dead people.
[LAUGHING]
Uh, this may seem morbid, but I
I was wondering if you had
performed an autopsy on my son?
It would have been about
seven years ago.
I don't know if you were
even here then
Oh, I was. I'd just started.
But, no, you and Dr. Hamda
were pretty clear
it was a sudden cardiac death
from a pre-existing condition
and elected not to.
Mm. Okay.
Nice to have you back.
[CRUNCHING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[VOMITING]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Cool your jets, Little Man.
I got car sick, Daddy.
I ate seven pancakes.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Come on, Danny! We have to go!
[GROANS] Why do you and Mom
always treat me like a baby?
Can I go now? Please?
- Yes, fine. Go.
- Yes!
[SOFT MUSIC]
Michael?
She wants to know
what happened with Danny.
And why she blamed me for it.
You can't go back there again.
You can't.
[MACHINES BEEPING]
[WHIRRING]
[SURGEON]: Clamps.
Just don't give me a lobotomy, guys.
You want to tell me what happened?
The infection from the pneumonia
made its way to the brain,
which caused an abscess.
We barely caught it in time.
- [SIGHS] Unbelievable.
- What is?
- If you had released her to us,
this would've been handled already.
You're not saying your doctors
could have done better?
I'm saying now that this
is escalated to a major surgery,
it's on everyone's radar.
And if this was kept in-house,
then maybe we could've handled it.
And now she's looking
at a court martial.
For a failure to report?
And for lying to our doctors
about the medication
she was taking.
Yes, we know about that now.
And no one's going to sweep
that under the rug.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[SOUNDS DISTORTING]
[BOY]: Come on, Danny,
we have to go!
Can I go? Please?
[AMY]: You agree to take my place
on Danny's field trip today.
Come on, Danny, we have to go!
Can I go? Please?
You agree to take my place
on Danny's field trip today.
Please?
[GASPS]
Michael? Sweetie.
Hey.
It was a nightmare.
It was just a nightmare.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
They've drained the abscess
and we're injecting
strong IV antibiotics
directly into your bloodstream.
You're gonna need it for six weeks,
and then oral pills for months,
but you're gonna be okay.
So, is this going to be
disqualifying for me?
The infection to your brain
was caused by the pneumonia.
The pneumonia was caused
by your corticosteroid use.
How can that be?
Well, you compromised
your immune system.
Invited it in.
And the corticosteroids
probably made the abscess
advance more rapidly
than it should have.
So I did this to myself?
You were charging too hard, Luna.
But I just wanted so badly
to do it for my father.
I know, and, uh
There's something else
I need to tell you.
Is that lieutenant
in there with Dr. Hamda?
Ah, yeah, he's
I'm sorry to interrupt,
but I wanna confirm
before her discharge papers are signed
that her diagnosis is clarified.
Has there been a change?
I've been studying
Major Elliott's pulmonary tests.
Turns out, based on the chronic
nature of her condition,
it's far more likely that
her respiratory issues
came from
the oxygen-deprivation training
that NASA has been giving her
the last three years.
You have no way of proving that.
No, but it is a plausible scenario
and one that would be discussed
at great length
during a court martial.
Are you trying to leverage me?
Absolutely not, sir. But I served.
And I believe in what you're doing.
So I would hate for there to be
any suspicion
that the program's been reckless
or that somehow military doctors
overlooked
Major Elliott's condition.
Well, that's not the kind
of P.R. anybody needs.
[MACHINE WHIRRING]
Huh.
Multiple mobile cardiac thrombi.
That's what's causing her TIA's.
She's been showering her brain
with small emboli.
That explains the memory loss.
It explains the dementia.
So she doesn't have Alzheimer's.
I don't think so.
Your memory issues stemmed
from clots in your heart.
The TIA incidents,
they didn't originate in your brain.
It was your heart all along.
Well, for most people,
they're connected, I suppose.
[CHUCKLES]
The point is that
now that your cardiac issues
have been addressed,
your memory loss should dissipate.
You're going to get your life back.
[CHUCKLES]
[LAUGHS]
I think you're maybe not a hugger,
but I would be happy to provide one.
Yes!
[SNIFFLING]
Thank you.
[LAUGHS]
[KEYBOARD CLACKING]
Hey.
I wanted to thank you for what you did.
Right is right.
I decided that even if they do
give me another shot,
I'm gonna ground myself.
I don't think my father
would want me to chase his dream
for him, not the way I'm doing it.
I know that must be
a hard one to swallow.
I'm sorry.
I'm sending his ashes up
with the next crew, though.
Buddy of mine's gonna release
them through the airlock.
[CHUCKLES]
Into the heavens.
- Ooh-rah.
- Ooh-rah.
Thank you for doing that.
You stood by her
because she worked
her whole life for something,
and she couldn't live without it.
Yeah.
Kind of like Dr. Larsen, right?
Something to think about.

After
After he threw up outside,
all the kids were in here.
Hey, look, it's a brontosaurus!
Wow!
Dad, look, there's another one!
He was so happy.
Just running around with his friends.
I really thought he was just carsick.
I mean, the bus was so
Even I was feeling queasy, but
[EERIE MUSIC]
It all happened so fast.
Danny? Danny? Danny!
Danny, Danny. Someone call 911!
I was alternating
between chest compressions
and rescue breaths.
But I was, uh, I was so scared.
His His little chest was so
And then they finally
brought the defibrillator.
It wasn't doing anything.
[DEFIBRILLATOR SHOCK]
It just
D-Danny?
Nothing was helping him.
And by the time
the paramedics got here
He was gone.
And then you called, and I just
I couldn't pick up the phone.
[PHONE BUZZING]
I didn't know how to tell you.
Because, um
It was my fault.
When he got sick, I should've
known it was his heart
and I should've checked his pulse.
And I blamed you for it.
I hated you so much for that.
But I also knew you were right.
And we both knew that if
you'd been there
the way you were supposed to,
he might still be with us.
[SOFT MUSIC]
The night after my accident,
I called you from the hospital and
you said that even at our worst,
you were always my friend.
But I wasn't yours, was I?

Amy.
