A woman committed suicide in front of you.
If you think - you're gonna relapse - No, I'm OK.
I'm OK.
I promise.
I can't believe you fired the nanny.
I have to work! What am I gonna do tomorrow? Somewhere along the line, you got the wrong impression.

In return, don't come near me ever again.

You are possessed.
And you, you're bad for me.
You're a bad influence.
You're one of the bad kids.
Stop talking now.
Why? What are you gonna do if I don't? Sandy, where's Mel? Hell if I know.

He got dumped.
- Third time in two months.
- Ouch! He was a total mess.
Would not shut up.
They had three different kinds of pies, he had to try them all.
Wouldn't let me leave.
How you doing? You ready for this? You good? They use this 15-gauge needle.
It-it has this handle like some sort of medieval torture device.
Bone marrow harvest, like it's an autumn festival or something.
I shouldn't have agreed to do this.
- You're doing it for your mom.
- Don't call her that.
Well, she lied to me, right, to get this? She had her reasons.
Yeah.
For my bone marrow.
I hate liars.
I hate them.
- Yeah, me too.
- I could die.
You're not gonna die.
It's this giant indoor amusement park.
It's out by the airport.
It's open all night long.
And so, we're there, and we decide - to ride the Whiplash.
- Big mistake.
Bob hates those kind of rides, he always has.
- You get nauseous? - Dizzy.
I passed out, bashed my head on the safety bar.
Oh, my God, the blood! It was like a fountain.
Well, Bob, you're gonna need stitches.
I'm dizzy.
From the blood loss? Have some water.
Just keep drinking water.
Tell me something if I was to pull some blood and run a tox screen, what would I find? Not marijuana.
MDMA? Ecstasy? Oh, wow! Haha! You're good.
OK, he's good.
- Marg, no, no.
- Bob, he's a doctor, he's not gonna arrest us.
Yes, it was our daughter's E.
- We found it by mistake - Mm-mm! Be honest, Bob.
We were looking for it actually.
Marg guessed where it was.
I did.
It was hiding in the toe of her good shoes.
Alright.
We're gonna keep you both around, keep an eye on you.
Dr.
Cutler, - we had to do something.
- About? Life is very stressful, and certain things can suffer in a marriage.
I understand, Bob.
I'll be right back for those stitches.

I have patients, so Can they wait? I need you on this.
Monica, you know Dr.
Cutler? - Peter.
- Hey.
Uh, Steve Afton, trail riding in the ravine.
My fault.
I went over the handlebars, landed right on him.
I cut you off, - it's all on me, buddy.
- BP 100 over 65, shallow respirations, and decreased breath sounds on the left side.
Got him on 12 litres of 02, IV ringers lactate, and pushed 50 of fentanyl.
Sir, you have to wait out here.
We'll check in later.
- What? No, I wanna go with him.
- Waiting room, over there.
Breath sounds are absent on the left side.
- What's happening? - No movement on the ultrasound.
- O2 sats and BP dropping.
- Neck veins are distended.
You're suffering from something called a tension pneumothorax, Mr.
Afton.
Is that bad? You'll feel a little pinch, it'll help with your breathing.
- It's in.
- Sats coming back up.
There's something up his belly.
He's guarding - the left upper quadrant.
- Let's do an ultrasound.
I've got it, I'm already on it.
Free fluid in left upper quadrant.
Looks like a splenic injury.
- He's losing consciousness.
- BP's tanking.
60 systolic.
Call upstairs and have them prep an OR.
- I don't think we can save this spleen.
- He's surgical, - you must be crushed.
- What can I say? I love my job.
- Stop defending her.
- No, I just I'm not, - it's just that your mom - Don't call her that.
And yes, you are, that's exactly what you're doing I'm just saying, people, they just they, they, uh - People make mistakes, right? - I was taken away when I was 5.
- That's not her fault.
- She was declared unfit, Griff.
Maybe there were extenuating circumstances.
- Yeah, for 20 years? - Maybe you don't know what's - going on in people's heads.
- I don't care what's going on.
- People are flawed.
- Why are you so wound up? - She didn't do anything to you.
- Oh, man! - What? - "Kanaskie Where are you? - Your shift started an hour ago.
" - I thought you took a sick day.
I did.
I told him I couldn't work on Friday.
- Thursday.
- What? Today is Thursday, not Friday.
You took off the wrong day? OK, I'm gonna go fix this.
Go get started, I'll see you up there.
Hey, Griff.
Hey, Zoe.
What's going on? You know.
Dread, misery, incompetence.
Ah, your procedure.
How are you feeling? I hate needles.
And I could die from the general.
You're not gonna die.
Come on, I'll walk you in.
Steve Afton.
Trauma laparotomy.
We'll remove the ruptured spleen and assess for further damage.
There's a playlist on there.
"Mel's badass tunes.
" - How are we doing, Dr.
Gordon.
- We are good to go.
OK.
Ultrasound showed significant internal bleeding, so could get messy.
What is that? Is that alt-rock? Make sure we have lap sponges ready.
We'll need two suctions.
- Since when do you like that? - What do you mean? Always - You have never liked alt-rock.
- I'm trying to concentrate.
- Then turn off the music.
- I'm making a midline incision from sternum to pubis.
You're cutting freehand? Seriously, where's your marker? I love this part.
Everybody's talking about the new world order All I really want to talk about is me and you together We got it, girl, so you can show me all your sensitive parts Give it to me straight now Will you give it up? You want the day off? You should have booked it off.
- I did.
But I thought I did - It's all about the math.
Conner.
I got X amount of porters, I got Y amount of calls, it's got to add up to stuff gets done.
- Alright, look - Another day where the thing doesn't descend into chaos, it's what it's got to add up to.
Zoe's got this procedure today, that's all, man.
- A trooper, she'll survive.
- I could start a little later.
Tell you what, when you can change the laws of math, man, you can have the whole week off.
Until then, get dressed, get to work! PJ! Man, yo.
Nurse Ratchet on the fourth decides all the IVs on her ward gotta be cleaned.
Guess who gets to clean 'em.
If Zoe talks to you, I was out with you last night, OK? - What? - Your girlfriend dumped you, we went out to the Lakeview, got pie, left around 2 o'clock.
What, are you asking me to lie for you? - Only if it comes up.
- Are you stepping out on Zoe? - No, man, come on! - Look, that's not cool, man.
Hey, Zoe's high class, - good quality.
- I'm not screwing around.
- So then why are you asking? - Because I went out with a drinking buddy last night.
I didn't have a drop, but Zoe would freak out if she found out.
She's got so much on her plate right now.
Come on.
Hey, whoa! Look, OK, alright, I'll tell you what.
You look after this for me for a little while, I go for a nice long walk, I'll think about it.
Big guy.
Yeah.
So the extraction doesn't take long, less than two hours.
I know.
You'll be under, so you won't feel anything.
- Where is she? - Upstairs.
She's had three weeks of aggressive chemo and radiation.
That's to prep for the transplant.
She's gonna be in pretty rough shape.
- I don't want to see her.
- You don't have to.
No one's gonna make you.
OK.
We're ready.
- Still no Griff.
- Sure he's trying to make it.
I can't believe he screwed this up.

Did something happen? Is she OK? Yeah, no, she's good, Zoe's good.

She is getting prepped right now.
I think she's gonna do the procedure for sure.
Still doesn't want anything to do with me, huh? No.
Zoe know you're here? No.
No, but I'm gonna tell her.
I'll tell her I just I thought that, you know, maybe you can tell me something first that might help her understand what happened.
You know, then I could tell her, then I could get you guys in the same room, and then she can You know you can Bygones.
You get her here, I'll tell her myself.
I'll give it a shot.

If it ruptures, we're in trouble.
He hasn't had a full workup.
You're talking about a complicated resection on a trauma.

I have to go now.
Staples in place.
Let's start mobilizing the sigmoid.
Resident's caught in surgery, he'll be another hour at least.
Keep trying Dr.
Bhaduri, and work the list.
I'm gonna have this thing out and off to pathology in no time.
His tissues are pretty friable.
Worse than I thought.
- Damn it! - What? I got into the abscess, it was perforated.
- You're kidding, right? - I've got pus everywhere.
Give me the suction.
Suction, let's go! And somebody turn off that damn music! Dammit! Get the sponges out.
More irrigation.

Melissa Conner.
- You have a situation? Routine trauma splenectomy.
Incidental sigmoid tumour, likely cancerous, locally perforated.
I made the call - to take out the tumour.
- You made the call?! During mobilization, we found an abscess cavity next to the tumour.
I got into it and there was plenty of pus.
We just discovered a second ruptured abscess - in the pelvis, and - And? It looks good.
I'm thinking I've got it under control.
You think you have it under control or you know you have it under control? I'll be there in 30 minutes.
Get it under control.
Where are my sponges? Let's go, we're not finished yet.
OK, Zoe.
We're going to give you some drugs and then do the extraction.
You'll be done in about an hour, and you can get back to driving the boys crazy, how does that sound? - It's a miracle.
- Doctor, is it OK - Griffin? Sure, it is.
Come on in.

Kane since I was 2, he went to med school with my Dad.
So how you doing? You ok? - I just want this over with.
- So I've been thinking - of this whole mother situation.
- Griffin I'm thinking, you know, people aren't strong like you, Zoe.
They're not strong.
I mean, sometimes your expectations can be a little, you know It's kind of just all like one strike with you, you know? - No, I don't.
- Well, you know how sometimes with most people, it's three strikes and then you're out? With you, it's like one strike then boom, you're out.
- Can we not talk about this? - No second chances.
I think you should give her a chance to explain herself - Have you spoken to her? - No, no, I promise.
I just 'Cause I don't want you talking to her.
I mean it! OK, uh, Griffin, time to move.
Good luck.
OK, dear, I need you to count down from a thousand.
You have the worst timing, Griff, I swear to God.

Tran drank setting his farts on fire.
He's been waiting all night, along with Mr.

OK.
Let's start with the Can I just say that in all my years of med school I never thought I'd have to use the words anal and singeing - on the same sentence.

I wanted to remember what it felt like to be in lust.
How's that working out for ya? Hmm.

How's Monday for you? This Monday? Any Monday really.

It's the escape hatch.
Exactly, the escape hatch.
So what do you think? - Uh - I'm sorry.
- No, that's - No, no, I'm sorry.

- WHAT?! - Don't even start.
- Mom is with Maya?! Alone?! - You don't get to have an opinion! - Since when? - Since you've been gallivanting! - I'm not gallivanting! This would all be so much easier if you weren't involved!

I just broke up with my sister.
I'm gonna need a place to stay for a while.
This is what it's like, by the way, dating me.
It's not all incredible sex.
Hope you're up for it.
This girl's got me going crazy, but it just can't be like this 'cause I'm tired of the fighting and And I'm tired of the tricks.
I'm tired of trying to fix the things that ain't broken, breaking the things that still ain't fixed.
But that's what happens when emotions get in the mix.
In the mix, yeah, so I think I gotta send shorty off goodbye without a kiss.
Haha! You guys should take that on the road.
- He couldn't keep up with me.
- Hey, Peej, I heard you're a free man.
Griff told me you got dumped.
Do you want to talk about it? No, no, no.
It's too soon, you know, cut just open, too raw, you know.
She says she loves me too much.
How does that work? Him and Griff went out last night.
- Coffee and pie.
- Really? - We should get back to work.

- You're just coming on shift? - Today's the day, is it not? - Zoe's procedure? - Yeah, she's upstairs.
- I thought you'd take the day off.
- That was the plan.
- You left her alone up there? - Awesome, Dad, totally awesome.
- What? What did I say? - You're nothing if not frigging predictable.
Five please.
And also two.
It's possible the fish bone's gone and what you're feeling is the scratch.
Dr.
Spencer in cardiology.
Dr.
Spencer, cardiology.
No, wrong.
There it is.
Yeah.
That's gonna hurt.
Don't worry, we're gonna get this out.
You betrayed me, Bob! How am I - supposed to get past that? - Three years ago.
Yeah? that might as well have been yesterday.
- One sec.
Don't move.
- It wasn't yesterday.
It was one drunk night at a conference Well, maybe once was one time too many.
- I am sorry.
- Hey, hey.
- Oh, great! Here's the doctor.
- I am sorry, - what else can I say? I'm sorry! - Sorry, sorry, sorry! - Yeah, yeah, yeah! - HEY! HEY! Keep it down or I'm calling your daughter! Here's the thing, they call it suicide Tuesday.
Most people take E on the weekend.
The hangover's brutal, - and by Tuesday - I think we are already there.
- Yeah, well, it sounds like it.
- Can we go? Not yet.
You have zero serotonin levels in your body, so depression, anxiety, paranoia, fatigue, they're all gonna set in.
You could even have nausea, diarrhea, muscle pain, insomnia.
- I just want to see if - Marg? Seizure! I need help over here! - What's happening? - 5 migs high potency Midazolam.
- What's happening? - Is your wife epileptic? No! - Diabetic? - No.
Could be undiagnosed.
I need her blood sugar level.
Let's get a glucometer.
- What has she been eating, drinking? - Water.
Lots of it, all day.
It's diluted out her sodium.
Devi, IV sodium chloride.
- Quick as you can, thanks.
- Got it.
OK, Marg, OK.
OK.
While we were operating, we found a tumour.
- A tumour? - On your colon.
It's been removed.
This is good news, Mr.
Afton.
Good news? Are you kidding me? - If you hadn't - What Dr.
Conner means is that if you hadn't injured yourself, we may not have found the cancer for some time.
I'll check back on you.
OK.
Um, Mr.
Afton.
His chart lists Gord Mathers as significant other.
He doesn't have any other family? No idea.
They could be married.
Common law.
Yeah.
No.
Would you mind giving him to another nurse? - Why? - Well - We have a system, Sandy.
- I know.
- Is there a conflict? - No.
No conflict at all actually.
Patients are assigned on a rotating basis.
In the interest - of fairness, we don't - Absolutely, it's fine.
- I just can't go around flopping nurses - I said it's fine, Jason.
Forget I asked.
No flop required.
- OK.
- Thank you.
Appreciate it.
I'm gonna ask you to refrain from speaking to this patient about his tumour.
- Dr.
Bhaduri - Your area is the spleen, - leave the rest to me.
- You think I shouldn't have done it? I should have left the cancer alone, even though he was open? He was on the table, I was looking right at A T4 sigmoid tumor, an infected abscess, a secondary infection in the pelvis an environment sufficiently complex to give me pause.
I tried to reach you Proceeding without a proper workup, with minimal experience, and no supervision was irresponsible.
- I took a calculated risk - You're a fellow.
Close the patient, wait for help.
There was nothing calculated about what you did, you were reckless.
You are the kind of surgeon I like to avoid.
Much better.
Ooh, that's much better.
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
Ooh! Do we want to talk to Auntie Mel? No.
No, we don't.
Ah.
Oh, my God! Maya! Oh, my God! Bob and Marg Henrickson.
They took their daughter's MDMA.
Bob sustained a forehead laceration.
This is Dr.
Conner.
I'm going off shift soon; he's gonna look after your discharge.
I'll just check the pulse.
So you took your daughter's ecstasy? - Maybe a little.
- Mr.
Henrickson, if you know your daughter is taking E, the best course of action is to discuss issues of drug abuse with her, not consume it yourselves.
- Tell me about it.
- Dr.
Cutler, trauma pulling in! Infant, 8 months old.
Possible TBI.
- All yours.
- Can we go? We just want to go home and be miserable.
ALLEN? ARE YOU HERE, ALLEN? It's OK, baby.
You're gonna be OK.
Just hang on.
- Oh, my God! - We're right here.
- Tell me that's not - It's Maya.
Airway's fine, - those lungs are working.
- Phone fell, went to get it - No one's blaming you.
- We need to call Sandy.
Where's Sandy? OK, baby, OK.
- Give it to me, I'll put it in.
- Allen, we got this.
Let us do our jobs.
Did she vomit or lose consciousness? No vomiting, but she was out for two, maybe three minutes after she fell.
Any abnormal pupillary response? Seriously, Allen, you're family, out of the room.
- OK.
Come on.
- OK, call imaging.
Tell 'em we're coming up with a baby, 8 months.
Oh baby, it's OK.
Shhh.
You talked to Zoe? Zoe's stubborn.
She grew up in foster homes.
She's been on her own since She's tough.
- I guess so.
- So back to plan A.
You talk to me, tell me your story.
I'll go talk to her.
I know you don't know me, I just I wanna I wanna get you a second chance.
So, you wanna hear my story? Yeah, I wanna help.
You wanna hear how after Zoe was taken, I hit the skids and couldn't escape, how I ruined my life with jail and total self-destruction? That's the sort of thing you want to hear? Why are you doing this? She's my girlfriend.
That's not the reason.
I've been around, Griffin.
Second chances.
What have you done? What are you trying to make up for? What is it, money? No.
No, you're a rich kid.
You don't need to be spending her money.
Is it drugs? That's it, isn't it? Yeah, I recognize the look.
You be careful, Griffin.
You hurt my baby, I will find you.
What's going on? Mom, what are you doing? It's Maya.
She fell and hit her head.
She was unconscious for several minutes.
Mel, stop.
You're gonna stay out here.
You need to stay out here.
- How bad? - We don't know yet.
How many bottles of wine before you dropped her? Calm down, I didn't drop her - "Calm down"? - I wasn't drunk.
Of course not.
God, you never drink.
Sandy, this is Dad.
You need to come to the trauma bay - right now.
- It could've happened to anyone, Mel.
Come on! You sound like an idiot! Lower your voice.
This isn't helping.
Now text your sister, she's not picking up.
Right.
You've never poured yourself a couple of glasses of wine It's Dr.
Conner.
I need you to page Sandy to the trauma bay.
You've never done that.
Shut up, Goddamn it! - So you're telling me you did? - I did what? - Want to kiss me? - Of course I wanted to kiss you.
You're an insanely attractive man.
That's not the point.
So? So it's unprofessional.
I'm a nurse, you're his emergency contact - What does that have to do with anything? - It means we can't kiss.
Or have coffee.
Not to mention the fact that I've known you for all of 90 seconds.
- Who cares? Go out with me.
- Nope.
Can't.
- Conner, please report to trauma bay - Come on, that's crazy.
- Was that my name? - Sandy Conner.
Maybe I can sign something, or I can get Steve to sign something.
What is it? Whoa, hey, you need to stay out Maya.
Hi, baby.
Mommy's here.
Status? She's stable, but she has a scalp hematoma and her left pupil is a bit dilated.
- We're heading up right now for a STAT CT.
- Let's go.
Move it.
Maya, my love, Mommy's here.
We're going on a little ride.
Sandy, I'm so sorry.
Look, Maya, Auntie Mel's coming.
It's OK, sweetheart.
It's OK, we're both here.
It's OK.
Hey.
- How are you feeling? - Tired.
A little sore.
Happy to see you, though.
It's been a ridiculous day.
I honestly haven't stopped running around.
I'm sorry for screwing it up.
All of it.
Listen.
What you said earlier, about my mother - Zoe - I don't think that everyone should get to be forgiven.
There should be consequences.
For hurting people, for lying, for never coming back.
For coming back too late.
- You're right.
- I am? You shouldn't talk to her.
You should move on.
Who needs that kind of that, in their life? I mean, she lied to you, she'll do it again to get what she wants.
You can't trust her.
It could be Kanaskie.
- What's wrong? - Maya's in the ER.
- Hey, where is she, is she OK? - We don't know yet.
She's up in CT.
She hit her head, it's pretty bad.
- OK, can I go up, what should I do? - No, no, just go find your mother, she should be outside.
She's in rough shape.
Alright.
First cigarette in five years.
- I bummed it from an EMT.
- You OK? Peachy.
I wasn't drunk.
They're not gonna believe that, but - I believe you.
- I wasn't.
I believe you.
You don't count.
I want her to be OK.
- I know.
- I want that this had never happened.
It doesn't matter what I say, she's never It was an accident.
I mean, I was never a great mother, but I didn't make a habit of throwing you three Stop, Mom.
Don't do this.
- You know what I really want? - What? A drink.
I want a drink.
I'm pathetic.
Or that time we came home from soccer practice and found her unconscious on the floor, you remember that? My first call to 911, I was eight.
Or that one Thanksgiving, she was so drunk she didn't realize she'd cut her finger, and she was bleeding - all over the turkey - Mel, please.
Stop.
I'm sorry.
No fractures.
No internal bleeding.
This is good.
So Maya has a concussion, that's it.
Hey.
It's OK.
She's gonna be OK.
Sandy? I have to wake her again in another hour.
They're worried about a subdural hematoma.
- Sandy, I'm sorry.
- I know, of course you are, Mom.
I mean, I wasn't It didn't happen because I was I know.
It could have been me.
Or Mel.
I'll call you later.
- Goodnight, Mom.
- Goodnight, sweetheart.
- You look exhausted.
- I am exhausted.
I'm sorry.
Me too.
I'll stay with Maya.
You go find a bed.
Sleep.
- We have to wake her again - In exactly 53 minutes.
I've got this.
Go.
What are you doing here? You shouldn't be up, not yet.
I couldn't get any information, what happened, - is she OK? - She hit her head, she has a concussion, - but she'll be fine.
- Oh God, thank God.
- OK, back to bed, let's go.
- What about you? Will you be fine? If she had died, if Maya had died My life would be over.
- How's she doing? - Waking to full alertness.
Normal pupillary reaction.
I brought ice cream.
My drug of choice.
Last few weeks, you and me we've been on a bit of a binge.
Flooding our systems with dopamine, norepinephrine, phenylethylamine Hearts racing, palms sweating, elation, sleeplessness, - euphoria - You think a crash is coming? I think we might be capable of more.
You said "I hope you're up for it.
" I am.
You scare the hell out of me, but I am.
I'm up for it.
I don't know what this is, what we've got, but I think we should find out.
- Good speech.
- Thanks.
You know what I think? I think we should talk about it tomorrow.
Hey.
Is everything OK? You kinda left in a panic.
Can you stand up for a minute? I have to go to sleep now.
- Couldn't sleep.
- Can't blame you.
You want some ice cream?
