Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. (2021) s02e10 Episode Script

Previously on Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.
Where's Walter?
Things have just been rocky
since he got back from Australia.
I mean, I'm worried we're
becoming each other's afterthought.
If it isn't my friend, the dirt biker.
I'm Nico. You know, with
the chemo and the cancer.
Every department wants you to
pick them for your specialty.
I just want to choose
what I'd be best at.
You're literally a child genius.
Neither one of us had a
typical teenage experience.
It's rare to find someone
who understands what that's like.
Mom, that is the fourth unhoused
person we've turned away this week.
We don't have the
funds to help everyone.
I'm not gonna give up.
Steph's worth fighting for.
I'm going to UH for
agricultural studies!
I got on The Bachelorette.
I can't be on the show
if I'm with someone.
I'm looking for a Monday
through Friday guy.
Not a Saturday guy.
So if I've changed so much, then
why do you even want to be with me?
Well, maybe I don't.
You are an amazing woman, Lahela,
and you deserve to be
with someone who sees that.
You told me to find
something to live for.
Well, I did. It's you.
It worked.
Your cancer's gone.
Lahela, you saved my life.
But I have to figure out
what I'm going to do with it.
I have no idea what I
want to do and it is scary.
Dr. Kamealoha, your
boyfriend is outside looking for you.
Hey, Lahela.
Walter.
What are you doing here?
I came to say I'm sorry.
I let the pro surf tour go to my head.
When I got sponsored,
my whole life changed,
but I lost myself.
Even worse, I lost you.
- Walter
- Last week,
I wiped out on this
crazy 40-foot wave, and
I wasn't sure I was gonna make it.
And in that moment,
all I wanted was you.
Will you give me another chance?
Walter's back? Are you
guys getting back together?
I love you with Walter.
I always thought you
were perfect together.
No, I told him I couldn't
think about that now.
I need to focus on nailing down
my specialty at the hospital.
And there's still Nico.
I love you with Nico.
I always thought you
were perfect together.
Wait. Did you tell Walter about him?
There's this guy.
Nico.
Oh.
- You have a boyfriend.
- I did.
I don't know. It's complicated.
And I need to figure it out.
How are you going to figure it out?
Nico hasn't even been
replying to your texts.
Yeah, I know. But his final follow
up at the hospital is tomorrow.
That's perfect. Talk in person.
Because you know what they say.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Yeah. I'll finally get some answers.
And if they're the answers you
want, then I'm Team Nico all the way.
Unless you're leaning Walter.
In which case, Team Dub, throw them up!
Hey, Dad.
I cleaned out our shave ice truck
and replaced all of the spoons
and straws with these little pups.
Half spoon. Half straw.
A spraw.
Why not call it a "stroon"?
Dad, please.
By my math, these guys will
save us three percent overhead.
Oh, three percent.
I'm impressed.
Impressed enough to maybe give
me my own cash register keys?
Already?
Kai doesn't even have one.
Because he struggles
with basic math. And keys.
I don't know if you're ready.
Remember last week?
It could have been anyone's Band-Aid
that lady found in her shave ice.
With Buzz Lightyear on it?
You'll get the keys one day, son.
Hey, Mom.
- What you working on?
- Ah.
The annual hospital gala.
I don't know why we have to
throw a ball for residents
to announce their specialty.
Speaking of specialties,
I think I figured out
what I want mine to be.
What is it?
I wanna open a free
clinic at the hospital.
I know it's unconventional, and
most people just join a department
that already exists,
but I was thinking
But you're a teen doctor.
You don't do conventional.
I think opening a free
clinic is a great idea.
You okay?
Yeah, I just, I didn't
eat enough at lunch
because I'm so stressed
out about throwing a gala.
I mean, I became chief of
staff to run a hospital,
not be a party planner.
Maybe we can help.
Oh, yeah, that would be amazing!
Wait, how many people?
Do you have the venue?
Are shorts allowed?
Looks like you got this. Let's go.
- Thanks.
- Sure.
One wonders if maybe
we should pick a theme?
Oh, that's great. A theme.
Pick a theme.
I'm just spit balling here, but
Welcome To The Jungle, One
Night in Bangkok, Under the Sea.
Oh, I like that one.
Hey, hey, maybe we can
do an ice sculpture.
Mermaid, anchor, or scallop shell?
Mermaid.
It's the most realistic.
So I just got my startup packet for UH.
For my agriculture major,
we get to work on real farms.
Bunnies, sheeps, you name it.
For college credit?
So amazing!
No more pretending we're overgrown
fourth graders to go to a petting zoo.
Hey, you want to go shopping later?
Granny Hannon just sent me some
money to buy stuff for my dorm room.
Dorm room?
You're not living at home?
The campus is only a 30-minute drive.
Twenty if Lahela's not driving.
Yeah, but staying at the dorm
is kind of the whole point.
Independence, right?
Yeah, sure.
I just worry we won't get
to see each other, you know?
Out of sight, out of mind.
Yeah, but I'll be home on
weekends and during the summer.
If I don't go away.
Oh, no.
The brochure says that UH will
give us the key to success.
But that's not a real key, right?
- Ooh. There she is!
- Hey!
Everyone's talking about
Lahela's big choice.
It's Decision Day 2023.
What's it gonna be?
You mean my specialty?
I want to open the free
clinic. I told you guys.
No, honey, we're talking about boys.
Today's your follow up with Nico.
I'm Team Walter.
He's your one true love.
He's stable, like a
muscular old oak tree
with a butt that could
crack its own acorns.
I am totally Team Nico.
He's beautiful and damaged.
Oh, like our new lamp from CB2.
Love lift us up where we belong ♪
Where the eagles cry ♪
Dr. Lee.
You're back.
Why are you wearing a uniform?
I was in ROTC in Malaysia.
I spent the summer doing jump
squats on a beach in Penang.
They paid for med school
and these P. Diddy whites.
Pretty sweet deal.
That's why his calves are so swole.
Noelani.
I won The Bachelorette to sow my oats.
And I'm ready for my true love.
Let's get out of here.
- God, what are you doing?
- This, well, no
I'm trying to pick you up.
Like An Officer and a Gentleman?
The movie? Richard Gere? Debra Winger?
This country. Know your history.
Oh, God. Stop trying to lift me up.
- I just ate a burrito.
- Don't deny what we have.
We don't have anything.
You went on The Bachelorette,
probably got rejected
by someone named "Ashleigh S.",
and now I'm some sort
of consolation prize?
No. Gross.
Okay. First of all, I
did not get rejected.
Just kiss him, honey.
I did it four years ago at
the holiday Christmas party,
and it was heaven.
Okay, would you please just go away?
Fine.
You can send my body away. But
my heart's not going anywhere.
Metaphorically.
Obviously, it's lodged
in my thoracic cavity.
Whaa Okay.
Donna? What room is my
oncology follow up in?
Nico Alexander? I
can't get a hold of him.
I don't think he's coming.
Please keep trying. I
really need to see him.
For his follow up.
Um-hm.
Hey there, college man.
You know, we've been together
a few months now, and
I think it's time we finally take
our relationship to the next level.
Out here?
I want us to be a mom and dad.
Uh
To this
Bunny!
Oh, my gosh!
I adopted him this morning.
We are going to be
parents to a Flemish Giant!
Oh, hi there
- Flemmy?
- Perfect name.
Well, I was going to finish
my dorm room shopping list,
but all I have left is books, so.
Oh, my goodness. You're so cute!
Wow.
It's a big rabbit.
Hello.
Hey.
So, um, bad news.
The board said "no" to
you opening a free clinic.
What? Why?
They say we don't have the money
in the budget or the campus space.
I'm so sorry, but there are so many
other good departments to choose from.
Wait, Mom, what if I went
above the board to the CEO?
If Max Lee's gonna be at the gala,
I could talk to him there directly,
show him my passion, and then
maybe he'd approve my free clinic.
That's a great idea.
And I hear if you catch
him on his third mai tai,
he'll say yes to anything.
That's how Dr. Lee got
him to approve uncle leave.
Okay, people, the theme
is "Under the Sea,"
but that doesn't mean we
have to move like we are.
How did you find this much
help on such short notice?
My pyro guy, Nails, owed me one.
Oh, and when we go live, the
mermaid sculpture will live there
by the clam casino.
The gala's gonna be amazing.
It better be after what we
dropped on Chiavari chairs.
Hey, honey, I'm here with Brian Patrick.
It all looks so great.
Oh, perfect.
Because we really need to impress
Max Lee if we want him to approve
Lahela's specialty.
It shouldn't be a problem
unless he's allergic
to understated elegance.
Oh, well, he is allergic to
shellfish if that mattered.
Okay. Love you. Bye.
Where are we doing the seafood towers?
At the raw bar? The lobster tank?
- What are we going to do?
- A minute, Nails.
We spent a fortune on seafood from
a caterer called Highway to Shell!
Hey, hey. Hi. We can do this.
We've got three hours and a little
man who's always underestimated,
and a big man who's
Well, let's just say his heart's
always in the right place.
Wait, me?
Thanks, buddy.
There.
A land mermaid.
We did it. We went from "Under
the Sea" to "Above the Sea."
What took this island 70 million
years to do took us 180 minutes.
Okay. We fixed the decor,
de-crabbed the servers.
And my personal favorite,
we turned the seafood towers
into meat towers.
I love a turf and turf.
Hubba, hubba.
Clara, you're
I'll say it. Total smoke show.
Oh, stop it, my handsome gents.
Benny, if those pants zip off to shorts,
do you mind holding off for a night?
I'll do my best. And you
look amazing, my love.
Oh.
And so does she!
Saddle up, Dad.
There's a run on ham
balls at meat tower seven.
- Lahela, you look beautiful.
- Thanks.
Max Lee is on his way.
When he gets here and he's all
loosened up, shall we strike?
- Like two tigers.
- Um-hm.
Who want to open a clinic
for underserved communities.
Oh, Dr. Adams, you look fancy.
Walter, what are you doing here?
Uh, BP texted me.
He said that the piano player canceled,
so he asked if I could fill in.
That's sweet of you to
help out my little brother.
To be honest, I was looking
for any excuse to come.
I knew it was a big night for you
declaring your specialty. So
I wanted to come out
and show my support.
Thanks. Means a lot to me.
I'm actually really
happy that he texted me.
I was this close to having to
pretend that my appendix grew back
and ruptured again. So
- I'm gonna
- Yeah.
This is a great party.
But why is there a mermaid
sculpture in sweatpants?
Okay. You've been distracted all
night. What's eating Gilbert Grape?
You have feelings for Dr. Lee?
Oh, the cardiologist stole your heart!
What? No!
Ugh.
And even if I did, kind of,
sort of have feelings for him,
we work together, he hits
on anything that moves,
he's a little
off.
No. It's a bad idea.
I am done making mistakes
when it comes to love.
Sometimes the biggest
mistake is not loving at all.
You sound amazing.
Oh, thanks.
As you know, seven of my eight
aunties are piano teachers, so.
So, how have you been?
Surf-wise?
Never better.
Everything else is kind of
falling apart. But
I'm trying to fix all that now.
So, tell me about this, this
free clinic you're opening.
Well, I want to open.
The hospital CEO is gonna be here
tonight and I have to sell him on it.
That should be easy.
Everybody here knows that you're
the best doctor this hospital has.
Hey, man candy.
Let's get back to
tickling those ivories.
Wow.
My mom's Philly is strong with that one.
So what should I play?
Wait, I, I know exactly
what I should play.
Oh, Dr. Kamealoha.
I was finally able to get
in touch with Nico's aunt.
Wait, what did she say?
She said he took off
for his favorite spot
because he needed to clear his mind.
But that was yesterday. And
she still hasn't heard from him.
Hey, the gala's a hit!
- You did it, son.
- Thanks, Dad.
But FYI, I will not be staying for
cleanup due to bedtime constraints.
- Hmm.
- Max Lee just got here.
He's been pre-gaming at Susie
Wong's, and he's three mai tais deep.
- So is the checkbook out?
- Oh, yeah.
I was chatting him up at the urinals.
I got him to approve golf
therapy for stressed out staff.
Surgeons only, though. Sorry.
BP, can you get eyes on Max Lee?
- Oh, he's by the dessert bar.
- Oh.
And using his soup spoon
on his tres leches? Ugh.
Great. People will say yes to
anything on their third mai tai.
That's how we wound up with you.
Okay, it's go time.
You okay?
Yeah. It's just nerves. Where is Lahela?
Her free clinic is on the line.
Where is she?
I can't believe you offered
to come help me look for Nico.
I can tell he means a lot to you.
And anyone who means something to you
means something to me.
It's nice to have you back, Walter.
We just need to find Nico and get back
to the gala before Max Lee leaves.
Whoa.
What is all this?
A play palace for Flemmy Buns!
Go. Explore, son.
I got him some new toys
for exploratory play.
Help develop his critical thinking
skills and his paw-eye coordination
in case he gets into
sports down the road.
- How much did you spend on all this?
- All my college shopping money.
But that's fine because I'm
gonna defer for a semester or two.
Wait. You're not going to college?
But you were so excited
about that program.
Remember? The farm?
All that can wait. I want to
focus on being a bunny dad.
They say you never get
those early moments back.
This was the last place I could
think of where Nico might be.
Hey, he'll turn up.
Damn it.
BP texted me that Max Lee just left.
I really blew it tonight.
I mean, I didn't find Nico,
and this was my only chance
to plead my case for the free clinic.
Now, I have no idea what I'm
going to do for my specialty.
- Maybe I shouldn't have left.
- No.
No, when someone you
care about needs you,
you help them no matter what.
I miss you.
Being here with you
it just feels right.
Like
like it's supposed to be.
I love you, Lahela.
Hello?
I'll be right there.
My mom just fainted.
What happened?
I just got a little lightheaded,
classic sign of overexertion.
I'm fine.
Luckily, your dad was
right there to catch me.
And fan her face with
my zip-off pant legs.
Okay, we need to order a full panel.
Let's get a CBC, BMP, and EKG.
That's not necessary. I'm
more concerned about you.
Where have you been?
I I thought we had a plan.
I'm sorry. I just
I was worried about Nico, and
then Walter said he'd help
Lahela.
This was supposed to be a big
night for you and your career.
I know.
And I wouldn't have left if
I didn't think it was urgent.
And what is going on with these boys?
- I don't want to talk about it.
- Your mom's just trying to help.
I need some air.
You okay?
Nico.
I have been looking all over for you.
Your aunt said you haven't
been home since yesterday.
What have you been doing?
I have been driving around
the island trying to
just clear my head.
None of that worked.
Nico, I walked out on the most
important night of my career for you.
Because I thought you were in danger,
and you can't even text me back!
Do you know how hard it
is to stay away from you,
to not text you when I've been dying to?
- Then why didn't you?
- Because you're too good for me!
I'm messed up in the head, Lahela.
I've spent my entire life in hospitals.
And now I'm out, and
I don't know who I am.
I don't know how to be
the right guy for you.
But I realized I want to try.
I wanna be everything you deserve.
I can't stay away from you.
That's why I came back here.
Because I love you, Lahela.
Oh, sorry. I
Just making sure you're okay.
Your dad said you're pretty upset.
- I'm Walter.
- I know.
- This is Nico.
- Yeah.
I know.
Walter just drove me all around the
island trying to help me find you.
Well, you found me.
I'm here.
Then I guess I'll
let you guys
be.
See you later, Lahela.
Walter, wait.
It's okay.
I'm gonna go.
Lahela.
You still have feelings
for him, don't you?
- Uh No, I, I just
- Lahela. I love you.
But you need to figure
out what you want.
A mermaid gave her life to the gala
and now gives what's left to shave ice.
I'm proud of you, son.
You know, sometimes
I struggle to see you
as anything but my little baby boy.
Dimples. I got to get them filled.
I love being a dad so much
that I didn't want to accept
what you've become. A man.
A young man.
But still.
The cash register keys? Really?
Really. You're ready.
Ooh. I can't wait to try them.
Hope I'm better at keys than Kai is.
Uh-oh.
You keep at it, son.
What the hell is going on here?
Hey.
Hey.
I just got off the phone
with Mom. She's resting.
I'm so glad I convinced
her to take the day off.
- You know how she is.
- Yeah, that's our Lahela.
Always thinking of everyone else.
But what about you?
How are you doing?
I just don't know what to do.
Oh, come here.
I know what you need.
I got you.
See?
You feel better even if
you just look at the ocean.
Now, let's talk.
I just feel so confused.
Everything got so complicated
with Walter and Nico.
I knew the second you looked at
that boy on your 16th birthday,
this kind of crap was coming.
Hey.
You're what's important.
Boys can wait.
I feel like I made a
mess out of everything.
I don't know who to like or
what my specialty should be
now that I can't do the clinic.
Well. What makes you happiest?
When I'm out in the world.
Helping people.
Like that biker on the side of the road
or the girl that I rescued at the beach.
So do that.
- Do what?
- Get out in the world and help.
It's not a specialty. I
mean, it's not a thing.
Neither was a shave ice flower
truck before I started one.
Make the path you want to walk.
Noelani, there was leaked footage
from The Bachelorette
online featuring your man.
Okay, Dr. Lee is not "my man."
You wanna know why I'm
perfect for Ashleigh P.?
These other chumps may break
her heart, but only I can fix it.
Because I'm a heart surgeon.
Twenty-three?
- Oh, barf, I don't want to see this.
- No, girl, girl, just watch.
I want a woman who gets
me but also challenges me.
One woman who pushes
me to be a better man,
who brightens my day when I see her.
A woman who is
taller than me.
Whose name is
Noelani Nakayama.
- Dammit! I love her!
- That's you.
I love you, Noelani N!
Just take me to the airport.
This mansion's so confusing.
How do you get out?
Hey, Mom.
How you feeling?
Much better, thank you.
I'm sorry I blew it with Max Lee.
But I think I figured
out my dream specialty.
Mobile medicine.
Here's what I'm thinking.
I take an old food truck and convert it
into a doctor's office on wheels.
And this wouldn't
just be emergency care.
It would be preventative care.
This is what people need day to day,
especially underserved
communities like native Hawai'ians
who experience a huge health disparity
and exhibit higher mortality rates.
- But we could close the gap and
- Just stop.
I love it.
- Really?
- Yes.
And it's small enough, budget-wise,
that I can cover it without the board.
Congratulations on
declaring your specialty.
I'm so proud of you.
Thanks, Mom.
- There are mountains ♪
- What is that?
In our way ♪
But we climb ♪
Did someone hack my
phone? Stay out of photos!
Dr. Lee!
Love lift us up where we belong ♪
Where the eagles cry ♪
On a mountain high ♪
Love lift ♪
I'm done playing games.
You know what? I love you, too.
Way to go, Noey, way to go!
It's happening.
Oh, I feel so safe.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Flemmy's nap just ended
and he needs to romp.
- What are you doing?
- Helping you.
Kai, you're going to
college this semester,
and you're living in the
dorm room like you planned.
But Flemmy!
It's my fault.
I adopted him, hoping
you'd stay here, near me.
But I can't keep you from your dream.
If you love someone, you've got
to be willing to set them free.
Wait. Did you just say you love me?
I
Because I love you, too.
The truth is, I've been
I don't know, a little
scared about going to college.
It's a big change.
Plus, it'll be my first
time away from home.
Fleming just kind of became a good
excuse to put it all off, you know?
Kai, look at me.
You're gonna do great.
I know it. And I'll
always be there for you.
I just got to figure out how
to use my dorm room key now.
Don't worry.
I can always teach you
how to climb in the window.
It feels good when you
finally find your true purpose.
And have a community that supports you.
Hey, guys!
- Oh, thank you.
- Thank you.
This is amazing!
Oh, thanks.
Because nothing is more
important than ohana.
Mom
you're pregnant.
- What?
- Wait.
Who's pregnant?
All the symptoms you've
been experiencing.
Nausea, fatigue, syncope, they're
all signs of hormonal influx.
You're hapai!
Oh, come here!
I'm lucky to live in a
place where we're all ohana.
And I finally get to help
the people that need it most.
It's time for me to set
out on my own adventure.
We love you!
Oh, and if you're wondering
about the boy situation
I love you, Lahela.
I wanna be with you.
I've I've always
wanted to be with you.
Like my dad said.
I'm what's important.
Boys can wait
because this is my time.
The beginning of a new journey.
So for now
I choose me.
Mom.
