Royal Pains s02e16 Episode Script
Astraphobia
l miss you, Hank.
l really miss you.
l miss you, too.
(BOTH SCREAMlNG) What are you doing here? Well, not what you were going to be doing, l'll tell you that.
l knew you were seeing her.
lt was just different, me seeing her.
Look, we're just friends.
l think there are unresolved feelings there.
On both sides.
This is me.
This is what you get.
lt's not enough for me.
lt's not what l want.
l'm sorry.
ls this an arranged marriage? EVAN: What ifshe gets engaged and moves to London? What are we gonna do? ''Will you return to the Hamptons next summer ''to work for HankMed?'' l don't know.
''l don't know'' is not a ''no.
'' So, l have an on the record ''maybe.
'' Good.
NEWSCASTER: Today in the northeast we are going to see plenty ofsunshine, with the high pressure dominating and really comfortable temperatures.
But enjoy it, because a storm system is headed our way.
We won't see too much ofit tonight, but we'll be looking forsome severe thunderstorms in our area later this week.
PETE: And as the Junior Explorer rounded the dark corner, he came face-to-face with The rule zombie.
And the rule zombie, he looked at him with great disappointment.
And he warned him about not observing the buddy system, about wandering off the designated trail.
Remember when we were talking about the (STAMMERS) The (TREES RUSTLlNG) Looks like that storm system's coming in, so we gotta split up and take cover.
(CHlLDREN CHATTERlNG) PETE: Explorer chaperones, you, too.
Yeah.
l'm just l gotta Okay.
Can l come in? BOY: No.
Full tent, huh? l'm sure there's room for one more.
Ah.
Hey, Chip, you know the best thing about nature? No fluorescent lighting? (LAUGHS) lt's that you're never alone.
lt's what l realized when l was a Junior Explorer.
lt's why l became a ranger.
The park, it's full of life all the time.
Just look around.
You'll see what l mean.
Like those fireflies over there? PETE: Yep.
Exactly.
And that person wandering off the designated trail? You know, Chip, hop in that tent and zipper up the door, okay? CHAPERONE: Come on, Chip.
Get into the tent.
Code violation equals a nice little (TWlGS CRACKlNG) Hey, you! Stop right there.
(GROANS) Jesus.
Ryan Wilson, under-qualified.
Larry Butler, over-qualified.
Nicole Mollen, no, too specialized.
Victoria Chazin, Columbia, USC, top of her class, rotations in emergency and family medicine.
Hmm, could be good.
He comes bearing merchandise.
What a change of pace for him.
Actually, this is not about merchandising.
This is about survival.
l didn't know you could distinguish between the two.
(SlGHS) Nice.
Yeah.
Ooh, hand warmers.
Freeze-dried meals.
Glow sticks.
Duct tape.
Are we going into hiding? No, these are emergency preparedness kits.
This is a new corporate policy per the CFO.
Every HankMed employee must have one on his or her person just until further notice.
lnfant formula.
Really? Yeah, l had a coupon for those.
Anyway, the end-of-summer storm is coming, and we will be prepared for it.
This is the most important part.
l got GPS transmitters.
One for you and one for you.
What? l got the mother ship.
Evan, where would l possibly get lost? And why would l want you to be the one to find me? lf the high pressure keeps building out of Atlantic Canada, what we saw last night, that's gonna be like a basket of kittens compared to what comes next.
Wow.
So, just in case.
All right.
(GPS BEEPlNG) EVAN: Good.
lt works.
Awesome.
Wow.
l know, l know.
Look, he's always been terrified of thunderstorms.
lt's too bad Paige isn't in town to console him.
It's coming your way.
When we were little, he used to climb into my bed during torrential downpours and make me play board games.
Well, that explains why you're such a fan of blue skies.
Exactly.
Now, ifyou don't have to be out on the roads, it's a good idea to stay home and batten down the hatches.
Stay right here for all the latest developments on this end-of-summerstorm.
HankMed.
How can we help you today? HANK: Yep, that's poison ivy all right.
Leaves of three, let it be.
Hairy vine, no friend of mine.
l've had poison lvy Okay, so, Chip, this will make it feel better.
HANK: Chip, how did this happen? l wandered off the designated trail looking for Ranger Pete.
He disappeared last night and never came back.
Hmm.
Maybe Ranger Pete had some important park business to attend to.
Ranger Pete! Ranger Pete, are you okay? Sir, what happened to you? (STAMMERS) l have no idea.
Pupils are equal, round, reactive to light and accommodation.
And extraocular movement is intact? Mmm-hmm.
Well, what's the matter with me? You seem to have some form of retrograde amnesia.
Losing memory of events that preceded a trauma.
Yet, l'm not finding any of the telltale signs of a head injury.
Can you guys lndoor voice maybe? We sound loud to you right now? Yeah, l mean, not as loud as those red-tailed hawks outside.
They must be mating.
Uh, do you hear hawks mating? No.
Hypersensitivity to sound.
Pete, any other discomfort or pain? Um, well, l mean, l got a headache and sore muscles.
You're gonna need an MRl.
l'll call Hamptons Heritage.
Good.
(SlGHS) No service.
You might wanna try in the parking lot.
But really, the only reliable place in the park is Sunrise Peak out by the ocean.
Can l just use that? The emergency phone? Uh, yeah.
We just use it in emergencies.
(LAUGHS) You're a stickler for the rules, huh, Pete? No need to yell.
Oh, right.
lndoor voice.
Sorry.
EVAN: You're a real-life storm chaser? ln the flesh.
And, no, l haven't seen the movie or the TV show.
(SlGHS) Where's the rest of your team? lt's just me and Zeus.
Zeus.
Well, it's nice to meet you both.
(LAUGHS) He's a next-generation storm-tracking machine.
And the only guy in my life l can rely on.
Wow.
Where did you buy him? You can't buy a reliable guy.
l invented him.
So, uh, what do you and your boyfriend Zeus think about this storm that's headed our way tomorrow? Oh, we think it's gonna be a lot bigger than expected.
On TV, they said it was gonna be pretty (STAMMERS) What makes you say it's gonna be bigger? The offshore path, the temperature differential.
We're looking at major instability and turbulence.
EVAN: Wow.
Divya, no, no, put that down.
Do you have a death wish? What is the matter with you? You know, the odds of getting hit by lighting are roughly 1 in 750,000? So, you're saying there's a chance? This storm's gonna be really bad.
Okay, l just need to call the hospital.
Oh, here, use my sat phone.
Thank you very much.
Um, Stacy Sachs, storm chaser, this is Divya Katdare, physician assistant.
Storm chaser.
Physician assistant.
(LAUGHS) Nice to meet you.
Hey, maybe you could remove my cast.
Fair exchange for the phone call.
STACY: Thanks.
NEWSCASTER: We are watching a potentially dangerous weatherpattern.
We'll be looking forsome severe thunderstorms across the area by nightfall.
So, don't indulge the hype.
lgnore it.
JlLL: All right, everybody.
We're gonna get our house in order, and we're gonna do it by the book.
Check blood, food, and laundry supplies.
Sterilize surgical equipment, transfer and discharge whomever we can.
All right, everybody.
Let's get to work.
Very impressive.
We could use someone like you at the park.
Oh, you must be Ranger Stambleck.
Yes, ma'am.
The MRl suite is waiting for you.
ls it just me, or is it loud in here? Well, that's what we're here to find out.
What? Uh, that's what we're here l was joking.
lt was a joke.
Uh, Ranger Pete, this way.
You don't have to yell at me.
So now l know why you've been so hard to get a hold of.
Yeah.
l'm sorry l haven't gotten back to you, but storm prep is very time-consuming.
Will it consume you all week? l was just thinking that, l mean, it's been a while.
Maybe we should get together.
l'd like that.
But the only night that l have free this week is tomorrow.
Oh, when the storm is supposed to peak.
Yeah, well, it's just a little water.
Maybe an ocean breeze.
Man up, city boy.
Tomorrow night it is then.
Okay.
Any implants or joint replacements? Uh, no.
All original parts, thank you.
Okay.
You'll need to remove your watch.
Oh, l'd be happy to.
The alarm beeps are deafening.
Can't you just turn off the alarm? That would involve more beeps.
Oh, l never saw that.
Pete, l think l may know what's causing your amnesia.
You do? You do? Think back again to last night, and concentrate, okay? Because if l'm right, you may develop other symptoms.
When you were out in that clearing and the storm was starting to gather, is it possible (YELLS) Oh, my God.
Struck by l don't What are the odds? Roughly.
DlVYA: So how did you fracture your wrist? l was tracking violent weather in Minneola, Kansas.
Tornado alley.
Sounds like a lovely place.
Well, it was on this day.
(LAUGHS) Until l made the mistake of getting northeast of the updraft core of a supercell.
lt threw me, and l landed on my wrist.
l'm not exactly sure what you've just described, but sounds like something that you'd want to stay far away from.
No.
No, no.
l wanted to get closer to it.
lt was so beautiful.
And thrilling.
So you put yourself in harm's way just for the thrill? Do you know why predicting storm patterns is so hard? l don't, actually.
Uh, hold still.
(MACHlNE BUZZES) We're done.
lt's because there is so much information.
Zeus can synthesize it all, assemble the big picture, and hopefully save some lives in the process.
Sounds a little lonely.
At times.
And it can also be dangerous, i.
e.
the occasional little wrist fracture.
But, no, l wouldn't trade it for anything.
Well, let's see how that little wrist fracture has healed.
Okay, good.
Stacy, how long ago did you say that this happened? Uh, six weeks ago.
You have a non-union of the Colles fracture.
l'd like to talk to the doctor who set your wrist.
Okay, so maybe it happened four weeks ago.
Look, l have to get this cast off, so l can get back to work with both hands.
Stacy, l can't take the cast off now.
And you just need to take it a little easy.
l can't take it easy.
l never could.
l'm sorry l wasted your time.
The red-tailed hawk, you know, it's, like, people have this idea that it's just the tail that's red, but it's, like, the whole personality.
l mean Hey, Pete.
How you feeling? Fine, actually.
Except for the fact that l've been here all day.
Oh, yeah, we're just waiting for the results, the MRl, ECG, hearing test, blood.
Was all that really necessary? For a lightning injury? Uh, yeah.
lt's pretty standard to have a good look around.
Yeah.
l'm shocked to be a strike victim.
But l got to tell you, doc, l'm not feeling so victim-y lsh.
And l can't stand this place.
You know the windows don't even open? The only fresh air around here is in the oxygen tanks.
(LAUGHS) Pete, we still need to check your results and look for damage, so we can anticipate any problems down the road.
Like what? Well, like neurocognitive deficits, chronic pain syndromes that may not manifest for days or weeks.
Okay.
So So what's next? Well, in 48 hours, we need to repeat the ECG and blood and urine tests to check for deep-tissue damage.
l can't spend the next two days indoors.
ln here? l got to get back to the park.
(EXHALES) All right.
Well, be back in 48 hours, but l'm gonna drive you there myself.
Sweet.
Let's go.
Yeah, Pete, Pete, Pete.
You may want to change.
Oh, yeah.
Well, l mean We'll do it in the car.
Oh, Pete, you can't go out like that.
(SlGHS) Listen to all those great sounds.
l can hear the northern flicker woodpeckers.
Big fan of the flicker.
Excited to get back to work, huh? You have no idea.
(CELL PHONE BEEPS) Oh.
Well, good news.
Your CPK is normal, and your urine is negative for myoglobin, which means no muscle or heart damage.
Oh, awesome.
Yeah.
Hank, you're a very responsible doctor and a gentleman, but think l can take it from here? Yeah, no, of course.
l'm just l'm still concerned about the hyperacute hearing, so l'll be checking back to make sure it resolves.
Works for me.
Okay.
That looks like a nice place for a nap.
Well, l don't nap there.
l sleep there.
What? You sleep out here every night? Hank, there's 24 hours in each day.
Sun rises in the east, sets in the west.
Nature follows rules.
l try and stay as close to it as l can.
All right, just don't stay too close until this storm passes.
You believe lightning can strike twice? l believe in keeping people out of hospitals, so l can't afford to play the odds.
And neither can you.
Astraphobia.
What? The irrational fear of thunder and lightning.
Just diagnosed you.
Um, your park ranger is actually proof that my fear is entirely rational.
Actually, you could argue that he just took the hit for the 749,999 people closest to him, which would make you even safer than before.
No, it's good logic.
lt is.
(SCREAMS) Safer from lightning, at least.
(GROANlNG) Oh, my God.
Did you have wound care on standby for me? lf you'd reached for the power drill, l was gonna start scrubbing in.
Good.
Joke all you want.
But when everyone else is freaking out 'cause they don't have coast guard-approved weather gear, we'll see who's laughing then.
Dude, l have to say, l don't remember your astraphobia ever being quite this irrational.
lt's not irrational.
You're tying down a wicker frame.
lt's not wicker.
And suddenly there were two rule zombies.
And then three.
These zombies were angry and drooling, looking for blood.
You see, this was their park.
And they weren't gonna let some mischievous kid disrespect it and then brag about it to his mischievous friends.
They moved in closer.
(BOYS GASPlNG) To be continued, Explorers.
(BOYS GROAN) Hey.
HANK: Hey, bud.
You guys want to join us? We're about to practice our bowline flood rescue techniques.
That sounds like fun, but we're just here to see how you're doing.
l'm on top of the world.
Really.
This feels like the first time in my life people can actually see me.
Maybe we should prescribe lightning strikes to all our patients.
(LAUGHS) What Everything okay, Pete? Do you hear what l'm hearing? Probably not.
What is it? Banging, grunting.
Maybe the hawks are at it again.
Something's not right.
Explorers, stay here within the circle of trust.
The acting troop commander will be Chip, since he's the most responsible.
(BOYS GROAN) PETE: Over there! She's in a non-designated area.
Ma'am, don't move.
(YELLS) DlVYA: Stacy! Hey, you're the fugitive from the other night.
(GROANS) PETE: Easy.
He shouldn't be going down in that area.
Hey, Stacy.
Hi, l'm a doctor.
Let me just take a look at you.
l'm really all right.
Okay.
Okay.
ls she okay? l think you broke my hard drive.
Let's make sure that's the only thing that broke.
ls your arm okay? l told you.
l'm okay.
l need to make sure that my transceiver is up and running before the storm hits tonight.
You're gonna need a permit for that.
(GROANS) All right, you know what, ma'am, here's the situation.
We're gonna safely vacate you from the restricted area, then you need to clean up your stuff.
How am l supposed to clean up if l've been vacated? lt's a fair point.
Let's get you up from here.
Listen, l'm not bothering anyone.
l know.
Come.
PETE: Here we go.
HANK: Okay.
Grab my hand, ma'am.
Here we go.
One, two, three.
(STACY GRUNTS) Yeah.
There we go.
Oh! Uh, um Whoa.
That's That's weird.
PETE: Yeah, l'll say.
(GRUNTS) Yeah, l guess l rescued you too hard.
No, no, no, no.
That That noise.
Um (GRUNTS) Hey, is that Did you get zapped? Did l Um, well, yeah.
(EXCLAlMS) And you're okay? Actually, it's a bit early to say.
l've never met anyone who was struck before.
l mean, the odds of that PETE: 1 in 750,000.
Exactly.
l mean, well, roughly.
God, connecting to nature in such a primal way kind of makes you a rock star.
(LAUGHS) l mean, in meteorological circles.
You know, l Can you get off That's my gun.
That's not Yeah (GROANS) Whoa, here, let me help you.
(GROANS) Oh, my ribs.
Stacy, Stacy, we should really take a look at that.
l'm okay.
DlVYA: Oh, there it is.
Yeah, looks like you fractured the eighth rib on your right side.
That's no big deal, right? And the buzzing in my ears, l mean, l only heard it for a few seconds.
Yeah, l don't see any signs of head trauma.
You were probably just hearing your pulse racing from all the adrenaline.
Have you had many other bone injuries before? Comes with the job.
Um, l broke my tibia chasing an F3 tornado in lowa.
l fractured my clavicle during Hurricane Charley.
Oh, and l chipped a bone in my foot getting out of my truck twice.
You might have mentioned all of these injuries yesterday.
Believe me, l get banged up on the job all the time.
Yeah, no, l'm sure, but this is more than just hazards of the trade.
Your bones look a bit pale here, not quite as dense as l'd normally like to see.
You know what? l noticed the same thing yesterday when l did her wrist x-ray.
But she's awfully young for osteomalacia.
Osteo-what? lt's a deficiency in the components used to make bone.
Vitamin D, phosphorus Okay, enough about my ribs.
You guys, how about just slipping me some painkillers and getting this cast off, so l can get back to work? Okay, Stacy, you really need to slow down.
l will have plenty of time to relax next week, but there is a severe weather event peaking tonight, and l intend to be right in its path.
Have you had any surgeries recently? Nope.
Are you taking any meds? Nope.
Could be you're not getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet or just malabsorption.
We should order a full metabolic workup, and let's track down all of Stacy's previous x-rays.
Sounds like there may be a lot of them.
Okay, doc, can't we just Nope.
Sorry.
Cast won't come off before next week.
Can you finish up with this storm chaser? Yeah.
Thank you.
Um, HankMed memorandum.
ln the unlikely, but actually very likely event that the national power grid goes down, all patient accounts shall now be settled in cash, okay? Regarding your memorandum of two seconds ago concerning patient accounts, no.
Okay, where Whoa, where are you going? Got to change.
l'm meeting Jill for dinner.
Okay.
(STAMMERS) Tonight? Going out tonight? Yeah.
Are you out of your mind? You should be here.
You should be helping me batten down the hatches.
We have hatches, right? l'm sure Boris must have hatches.
Stop saying ''hatches.
'' And don't wait up for me.
Just leave the front hatch unlocked.
HANK: (SlGHS) So, l just want to let you know Uh, Emily and l broke up.
Oh.
Yeah.
She dumped you.
Why would you assume that? Hot, blonde doctor.
Sexy medical banter.
(STAMMERS) Feisty in the bedroom.
You expect me to believe you'd walk away from that? (CELL PHONE RlNGS) l Sorry, one sec.
Yeah.
Yeah, hello? PETE: Hello, Hank? Can you hear me? Pete, what's wrong? The northern leopard frog is gone.
The what What's gone? The northern leopard frog.
l can't hear its distinctive grunts anymore, or any of the other sounds from before.
Just this annoying thump in my ear.
lt's common for that to go away.
And that thumping is called residual tinnitus.
Completely normal for someone struck by lightning.
lt's not just that, Hank.
l feel like l lost my mojo.
l l feel all alone out here.
lnvisible again.
You've been through a trauma.
You know, mood swings are to be expected.
Listen, l want you to go inside and wait for me by the ranger station, okay? But the lightning's coming.
You know, (STAMMERS) l need (STATlC) I need What What You need what? (GROANS) Shoot.
Listen, would you mind if we make a stop on the way to dinner? No, not at all.
Thank you.
Well, l'm glad to see you're taking it easy.
The storm is approaching the target area, doc.
Time to saddle up.
Something wrong? Yeah, have you seen Ranger Pete? He's not at the station.
No, l think that falling on top of him was enough awkwardness for one day.
Well, this may be a medical emergency.
We need to find him.
Stacy, the buzzing in your ear that you told me about.
Yeah? l need to know exactly when you first noticed it.
Was it right around the time you landed on Pete? Yeah, but l thought that you said that was nothing.
Okay, try to remember, was it a buzz or was it more of, like, a whooshing sound? lt was more of a whooshing, and l also felt a vibration.
Okay, l think what you heard or felt wasn't coming from you.
lt was coming from Pete, from his neck.
We need to find him now before he has a stroke.
Stroke? Yeah.
Well, what can l do? There's a spot in the park that The one that gets a decent signal.
Yes, Sunrise Peak.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come with me.
l know a shortcut.
Great.
HANK: Pete! Pete, you shouldn't be out here.
JlLL: l'll call 91 1 ! Did he get hit again? l didn't see any lightning over here.
He probably suffered a transient ischemic attack.
l think he has a tear in his carotid artery, which could have caused a small clot.
Come on, buddy.
There he is.
Hey, Pete, we're gonna get you out of here soon.
Yup.
There it is.
A dissection of your carotid artery.
lt wasn't the lightning? Well, yes and no.
When you got struck the other day, l think the impact threw you to the ground with such force, it tore the artery in your neck.
Well, how could l not feel that? lt probably started as a very small tear that took a few days to grow, so it was easy to miss at first.
Hank, l still can't get a cell signal.
Well, we need to get him to a hospital.
There's got to be another Ambulance is on the way.
Great.
Thank you.
(SlGHS) Okay, bud.
Sorry to bother you while you are out to dinner, but Stacy's blood and urine lab work are back, and they confirm it's osteomalacia.
Question now is why.
Kidney failure, pancreatitis, acidosis None of them make sense for a seemingly healthy l feel like we're missing something, Hank.
Call me back? Okay, so l know who Stacy is, l know what urine is.
The rest you're going to have to explain.
Maybe later.
l am just about to take off.
Okay.
l'm very interested in Stacy's case, you know.
You are? Yeah, chasing storms is her whole life.
Um, plus Hank isn't here, so l'm second in command.
All right, l'm tied for second.
Okay? l thought maybe you could use someone to bounce things off of.
Well, that is very sweet.
But l am headed home before the rains start and the roads flood.
Um, so did you not hear what Stephanie Abrams said on the weather channel today? She said this is the big one, the end-of-summer storm.
The Mayans were right.
lt's not safe out there.
She said that, like, four times.
Evan, l'll be fine.
You know what? Divya, l can't allow it.
What about Raj? What would Raj do if he lost you? Just think about him.
Or does he have other wives? Look, look, look, this is not the time for you to be out on the open road in your car by yourself.
Divya.
Well, l suppose that there is more space to work here.
And your refrigerator is better stocked than mine.
l stocked it today, yeah.
So, uh Maybe l'll, you know, ride out the storm here.
lf that is okay with you.
Sure.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
lf it makes you feel safer.
Okay.
So, you wanna play Risk? A board game? Yeah.
You can have lndia.
Yay.
All right, we need a head CT to rule out hemorrhagic stroke and a CT angio of his neck to confirm my diagnosis.
JlLL: The vascular surgeon's waiting at the ER.
HANK: Lift.
(SlGHS) You're gonna be fine, Pete.
Thanks for saving my life, Hank.
Hey, you can thank Stacy.
She's the one who could hear your damaged artery when she fell on you.
Good thing l rescued her.
lf we hadn't caught this now, it could have led to a major stroke.
Pete, what were you doing out there? l don't know.
l was looking for something.
Whatever it is, you're not gonna find it in a lightning storm.
Maybe you already have it.
You just need the confidence to trust that.
Hey, doc.
Yeah.
Uh, can l ride with him? Yeah, if it's okay with Really? Sure.
No, wait a minute.
You can't miss the storm.
That's the only reason you're here.
Are you kidding? (LAUGHS) l get to hang out with an actual lightning victim.
That's the best field study ever.
And, besides, there's always another storm.
BOTH: That's the beauty of nature.
You know, l remember something about when l got zapped.
STACY: Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Pete, we'll meet you there.
Something tells me Chewy's isn't gonna be open.
Yeah, l'm sorry we didn't make it to dinner.
l guess we'll have to take a rain Whoa! Whoa.
(SlGHS) (EXCLAlMS) (BOTH LAUGH) Are you okay? Yeah, l'm fine.
Okay, good.
(SlGHS) And glad we didn't get here three seconds sooner.
Okay.
Ah, perfect.
(SlGHS) (THUNDER CRASHES) (BOTH LAUGH) Like l was saying, rain check.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
Exactly.
All right, come on, Divs.
l'm attacking Yakutsk.
Evan, l am here because there is a storm raging outside, not because l want to relive being a teenager.
With no life.
(THUNDER CRASHES) (SQUEALS) Though that is exactly what a teenage girl sounds like.
Maybe you should be watching Twilight.
Seen it.
Team Edward.
Hank, sorry to bother you again, but l have been reviewing some case studies, and there is one condition that we haven't ruled out yet for Stacy.
Unfortunately, diagnosing it requires a full-body scan.
Call me.
l'm here with Evan.
Alone.
(ELECTRlClTY BUZZlNG) Of course.
(SlGHS) Still no signal? Nope.
Okay, we can't stay here all night.
l'm gonna walk to the main road and try to find some help.
Seriously? Yeah.
Hank, no.
You're gonna have to swim your way out of the park.
Oh, really? That's the first time l've seen you show any concern about the storm.
Well, it's the first time l've been almost crushed by a tree.
True.
Okay.
Don't go anywhere now.
l'm going with you.
That's where l'm going.
All right.
One, two, three, go! (BOTH SCREAMlNG) No.
No good.
Back in the car! (JlLL LAUGHlNG) OH! (GRUNTS) BOTH: Oh! Okay, that was possibly the worst idea ever.
Yeah, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
(SlGHS) Wow.
Maybe we should just stay here a while.
Now that's the best idea ever.
Okay.
EVAN: They should not be out in this weather.
DlVYA: Evan, relax.
They're having dinner.
And not only is this power outage temporary, but you are completely prepared for it.
ln fact, because of you, we all are.
EVAN: You're right.
lt's go time.
Just let me flip on our new emergency backup generator.
Ha-ha.
(DlVYA SlGHS) EVAN: Anything? No.
Oh.
Anything? No.
(EVAN GRUNTlNG) Anything? Still no.
So much for your battle plan.
EVAN: At least l had one.
That may or may not have involved me buying a generator on Craigslist.
As-is.
Thank you.
(SlGHS) Damn the end of summer.
What did you just say? l said, ''Damn the end of summer storm.
'' No, you said, ''Damn the end of summer.
'' lt doesn't take a psychologist to figure out where you're going with this.
Where are you going with this? Maybe this isn't about the storm.
Your father could be going to prison.
Many of HankMed's clients will be leaving their summer homes.
You'll be leaving the Hamptons.
Which means we'll still have a zillion resumes to go through.
Then l'll have to train your replacement.
Yeah, it does feel like everything's up in the air.
Yeah.
ln a few weeks, l will be moving to London, starting a whole new life.
lt is unsettling.
But like all storms, this one is going to pass.
And you'll be fine, Evan.
We both will.
ls that the worst of it? Maybe Zeus miscalculated on this one.
Maybe his thought process is flawed.
Maybe not.
Evan, can you connect the laptop to the big screen? Stacy said that the key to predicting a storm pattern was to synthesize all the information and assemble the big picture.
We don't have to wait for a full-body scan.
Stacy's had so many prior breaks that most of her body has already been x-rayed.
EVAN: That's so cool.
That's almost her whole body.
There it is.
Where? On her right foot.
From an x-ray taken two years ago.
l think that that little growth is what's causing the malabsorption.
And if l'm right, it's an easy fix.
Wow.
lt's almost like you've turned into Hank.
Except you say ''shedule.
'' HANK: Let's see what we've got in here.
Okay.
(SlGHS) Blankie.
Yes.
Yes, yes.
Could have used these five minutes ago.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
You got an emergency change of casual women's clothing? Even better.
Beef stew and Mediterranean chicken.
Mmm.
Vacuum-packed for maximum freshness.
(LAUGHS) Lady's choice.
Hmm Hank, you really are prepared for any situation.
lt's all Evan.
Oh, he must never know this emergency kit actually came in handy.
Deal.
Okay.
Okay.
Honestly, l expected worse.
You think this is good? l know this terrific freeze-dried place in Southampton.
The best.
(BOTH CHUCKLE) (THUNDER CRASHES) l'm at the hospital with Stacy and Pete.
lt would be nice if you called.
l'm getting worried, Hank.
(LAUGHlNG) l can't tell the difference between them, can you? l'm so sorry.
The roads must be a mess after the storm.
l am sure that Hank is on his way.
But your carotid stent procedure went very well, Mr.
Stambleck.
You should be back to work in a couple of days.
Writing as many citations as you want.
And l hate to state the obvious, but you should avoid any further lightning encounters.
No worries.
We're hoping to install the new Zeus detection system in the park next month.
Pretty amazing technology.
So as soon as they remove this thing from my foot, my bones just go back to normal? lt's called oncogenic osteomalacia.
Okay.
The growth secretes an enzyme that inhibits vitamin and mineral absorption into your bones.
After the surgery, your bones will be able to absorb them again and should normalize in a couple of months.
ln storm chaser lingo, ff l would say that this condition is an F1 .
Oh, l can sleep through one of those.
So, Jill's not in her office.
The nurse just told me that her phone's been going straight to voice mail for hours.
Well, they were both with us in the park last night.
They were supposed to meet us here.
How big is the park? About 1,700 acres.
So, they could be anywhere.
l can call in a search team.
Or we could use my truck.
Actually, l got this one.
l got it.
EVAN: So, l'm not gonna harp on the fact that my thorough storm preparations were mocked, much like Benjamin Franklin was mocked when he flew his kite too close to the Liberty Bell.
You're harping.
And bastardizing American history.
But who's grateful now that l put state-of-the-art GPS locators in your bags? Grateful that you can track my every move? (SlGHS) Divs, l prefer to think of it as protecting my valuables, actually.
(BEEPlNG) Bingo.
Guys! Hey, guys! Hey, we're here to rescue you.
Guys.
Hey.
Oh, my God.
What? Oh.
(SlGHS) lt looks like they rescued each other.
What should we do? Well, we should leave them be while we call for road service.
Oh, my God.
There's no signal out here, though.
There's nothing.
You know, l believe that there is an emergency phone at the ranger station.
Oh, my God, Jill and Hank.
Jank! Jank is back.
That's hilarious.
Hey, we made a pretty good team.
We should have a combo name, in fact.
Evan and Divya Evadivs.
Eva That's weak.
Divya and Evan Divyan.
Divyan? Okay, here's one.
Divya and idiot.
Didiot.
Not bad.
Hmm.
All right.
How about we compromise? (SlGHS) ABRAMS ON RADlO: Also coming up next here This is Stephanie Abrams.
You know, l always thought (SHUSHES) She's a weather woman, okay? Show some respect.
So get out and enjoy the sunshine.
Maybe go down to the market, get some fresh fish,
l really miss you.
l miss you, too.
(BOTH SCREAMlNG) What are you doing here? Well, not what you were going to be doing, l'll tell you that.
l knew you were seeing her.
lt was just different, me seeing her.
Look, we're just friends.
l think there are unresolved feelings there.
On both sides.
This is me.
This is what you get.
lt's not enough for me.
lt's not what l want.
l'm sorry.
ls this an arranged marriage? EVAN: What ifshe gets engaged and moves to London? What are we gonna do? ''Will you return to the Hamptons next summer ''to work for HankMed?'' l don't know.
''l don't know'' is not a ''no.
'' So, l have an on the record ''maybe.
'' Good.
NEWSCASTER: Today in the northeast we are going to see plenty ofsunshine, with the high pressure dominating and really comfortable temperatures.
But enjoy it, because a storm system is headed our way.
We won't see too much ofit tonight, but we'll be looking forsome severe thunderstorms in our area later this week.
PETE: And as the Junior Explorer rounded the dark corner, he came face-to-face with The rule zombie.
And the rule zombie, he looked at him with great disappointment.
And he warned him about not observing the buddy system, about wandering off the designated trail.
Remember when we were talking about the (STAMMERS) The (TREES RUSTLlNG) Looks like that storm system's coming in, so we gotta split up and take cover.
(CHlLDREN CHATTERlNG) PETE: Explorer chaperones, you, too.
Yeah.
l'm just l gotta Okay.
Can l come in? BOY: No.
Full tent, huh? l'm sure there's room for one more.
Ah.
Hey, Chip, you know the best thing about nature? No fluorescent lighting? (LAUGHS) lt's that you're never alone.
lt's what l realized when l was a Junior Explorer.
lt's why l became a ranger.
The park, it's full of life all the time.
Just look around.
You'll see what l mean.
Like those fireflies over there? PETE: Yep.
Exactly.
And that person wandering off the designated trail? You know, Chip, hop in that tent and zipper up the door, okay? CHAPERONE: Come on, Chip.
Get into the tent.
Code violation equals a nice little (TWlGS CRACKlNG) Hey, you! Stop right there.
(GROANS) Jesus.
Ryan Wilson, under-qualified.
Larry Butler, over-qualified.
Nicole Mollen, no, too specialized.
Victoria Chazin, Columbia, USC, top of her class, rotations in emergency and family medicine.
Hmm, could be good.
He comes bearing merchandise.
What a change of pace for him.
Actually, this is not about merchandising.
This is about survival.
l didn't know you could distinguish between the two.
(SlGHS) Nice.
Yeah.
Ooh, hand warmers.
Freeze-dried meals.
Glow sticks.
Duct tape.
Are we going into hiding? No, these are emergency preparedness kits.
This is a new corporate policy per the CFO.
Every HankMed employee must have one on his or her person just until further notice.
lnfant formula.
Really? Yeah, l had a coupon for those.
Anyway, the end-of-summer storm is coming, and we will be prepared for it.
This is the most important part.
l got GPS transmitters.
One for you and one for you.
What? l got the mother ship.
Evan, where would l possibly get lost? And why would l want you to be the one to find me? lf the high pressure keeps building out of Atlantic Canada, what we saw last night, that's gonna be like a basket of kittens compared to what comes next.
Wow.
So, just in case.
All right.
(GPS BEEPlNG) EVAN: Good.
lt works.
Awesome.
Wow.
l know, l know.
Look, he's always been terrified of thunderstorms.
lt's too bad Paige isn't in town to console him.
It's coming your way.
When we were little, he used to climb into my bed during torrential downpours and make me play board games.
Well, that explains why you're such a fan of blue skies.
Exactly.
Now, ifyou don't have to be out on the roads, it's a good idea to stay home and batten down the hatches.
Stay right here for all the latest developments on this end-of-summerstorm.
HankMed.
How can we help you today? HANK: Yep, that's poison ivy all right.
Leaves of three, let it be.
Hairy vine, no friend of mine.
l've had poison lvy Okay, so, Chip, this will make it feel better.
HANK: Chip, how did this happen? l wandered off the designated trail looking for Ranger Pete.
He disappeared last night and never came back.
Hmm.
Maybe Ranger Pete had some important park business to attend to.
Ranger Pete! Ranger Pete, are you okay? Sir, what happened to you? (STAMMERS) l have no idea.
Pupils are equal, round, reactive to light and accommodation.
And extraocular movement is intact? Mmm-hmm.
Well, what's the matter with me? You seem to have some form of retrograde amnesia.
Losing memory of events that preceded a trauma.
Yet, l'm not finding any of the telltale signs of a head injury.
Can you guys lndoor voice maybe? We sound loud to you right now? Yeah, l mean, not as loud as those red-tailed hawks outside.
They must be mating.
Uh, do you hear hawks mating? No.
Hypersensitivity to sound.
Pete, any other discomfort or pain? Um, well, l mean, l got a headache and sore muscles.
You're gonna need an MRl.
l'll call Hamptons Heritage.
Good.
(SlGHS) No service.
You might wanna try in the parking lot.
But really, the only reliable place in the park is Sunrise Peak out by the ocean.
Can l just use that? The emergency phone? Uh, yeah.
We just use it in emergencies.
(LAUGHS) You're a stickler for the rules, huh, Pete? No need to yell.
Oh, right.
lndoor voice.
Sorry.
EVAN: You're a real-life storm chaser? ln the flesh.
And, no, l haven't seen the movie or the TV show.
(SlGHS) Where's the rest of your team? lt's just me and Zeus.
Zeus.
Well, it's nice to meet you both.
(LAUGHS) He's a next-generation storm-tracking machine.
And the only guy in my life l can rely on.
Wow.
Where did you buy him? You can't buy a reliable guy.
l invented him.
So, uh, what do you and your boyfriend Zeus think about this storm that's headed our way tomorrow? Oh, we think it's gonna be a lot bigger than expected.
On TV, they said it was gonna be pretty (STAMMERS) What makes you say it's gonna be bigger? The offshore path, the temperature differential.
We're looking at major instability and turbulence.
EVAN: Wow.
Divya, no, no, put that down.
Do you have a death wish? What is the matter with you? You know, the odds of getting hit by lighting are roughly 1 in 750,000? So, you're saying there's a chance? This storm's gonna be really bad.
Okay, l just need to call the hospital.
Oh, here, use my sat phone.
Thank you very much.
Um, Stacy Sachs, storm chaser, this is Divya Katdare, physician assistant.
Storm chaser.
Physician assistant.
(LAUGHS) Nice to meet you.
Hey, maybe you could remove my cast.
Fair exchange for the phone call.
STACY: Thanks.
NEWSCASTER: We are watching a potentially dangerous weatherpattern.
We'll be looking forsome severe thunderstorms across the area by nightfall.
So, don't indulge the hype.
lgnore it.
JlLL: All right, everybody.
We're gonna get our house in order, and we're gonna do it by the book.
Check blood, food, and laundry supplies.
Sterilize surgical equipment, transfer and discharge whomever we can.
All right, everybody.
Let's get to work.
Very impressive.
We could use someone like you at the park.
Oh, you must be Ranger Stambleck.
Yes, ma'am.
The MRl suite is waiting for you.
ls it just me, or is it loud in here? Well, that's what we're here to find out.
What? Uh, that's what we're here l was joking.
lt was a joke.
Uh, Ranger Pete, this way.
You don't have to yell at me.
So now l know why you've been so hard to get a hold of.
Yeah.
l'm sorry l haven't gotten back to you, but storm prep is very time-consuming.
Will it consume you all week? l was just thinking that, l mean, it's been a while.
Maybe we should get together.
l'd like that.
But the only night that l have free this week is tomorrow.
Oh, when the storm is supposed to peak.
Yeah, well, it's just a little water.
Maybe an ocean breeze.
Man up, city boy.
Tomorrow night it is then.
Okay.
Any implants or joint replacements? Uh, no.
All original parts, thank you.
Okay.
You'll need to remove your watch.
Oh, l'd be happy to.
The alarm beeps are deafening.
Can't you just turn off the alarm? That would involve more beeps.
Oh, l never saw that.
Pete, l think l may know what's causing your amnesia.
You do? You do? Think back again to last night, and concentrate, okay? Because if l'm right, you may develop other symptoms.
When you were out in that clearing and the storm was starting to gather, is it possible (YELLS) Oh, my God.
Struck by l don't What are the odds? Roughly.
DlVYA: So how did you fracture your wrist? l was tracking violent weather in Minneola, Kansas.
Tornado alley.
Sounds like a lovely place.
Well, it was on this day.
(LAUGHS) Until l made the mistake of getting northeast of the updraft core of a supercell.
lt threw me, and l landed on my wrist.
l'm not exactly sure what you've just described, but sounds like something that you'd want to stay far away from.
No.
No, no.
l wanted to get closer to it.
lt was so beautiful.
And thrilling.
So you put yourself in harm's way just for the thrill? Do you know why predicting storm patterns is so hard? l don't, actually.
Uh, hold still.
(MACHlNE BUZZES) We're done.
lt's because there is so much information.
Zeus can synthesize it all, assemble the big picture, and hopefully save some lives in the process.
Sounds a little lonely.
At times.
And it can also be dangerous, i.
e.
the occasional little wrist fracture.
But, no, l wouldn't trade it for anything.
Well, let's see how that little wrist fracture has healed.
Okay, good.
Stacy, how long ago did you say that this happened? Uh, six weeks ago.
You have a non-union of the Colles fracture.
l'd like to talk to the doctor who set your wrist.
Okay, so maybe it happened four weeks ago.
Look, l have to get this cast off, so l can get back to work with both hands.
Stacy, l can't take the cast off now.
And you just need to take it a little easy.
l can't take it easy.
l never could.
l'm sorry l wasted your time.
The red-tailed hawk, you know, it's, like, people have this idea that it's just the tail that's red, but it's, like, the whole personality.
l mean Hey, Pete.
How you feeling? Fine, actually.
Except for the fact that l've been here all day.
Oh, yeah, we're just waiting for the results, the MRl, ECG, hearing test, blood.
Was all that really necessary? For a lightning injury? Uh, yeah.
lt's pretty standard to have a good look around.
Yeah.
l'm shocked to be a strike victim.
But l got to tell you, doc, l'm not feeling so victim-y lsh.
And l can't stand this place.
You know the windows don't even open? The only fresh air around here is in the oxygen tanks.
(LAUGHS) Pete, we still need to check your results and look for damage, so we can anticipate any problems down the road.
Like what? Well, like neurocognitive deficits, chronic pain syndromes that may not manifest for days or weeks.
Okay.
So So what's next? Well, in 48 hours, we need to repeat the ECG and blood and urine tests to check for deep-tissue damage.
l can't spend the next two days indoors.
ln here? l got to get back to the park.
(EXHALES) All right.
Well, be back in 48 hours, but l'm gonna drive you there myself.
Sweet.
Let's go.
Yeah, Pete, Pete, Pete.
You may want to change.
Oh, yeah.
Well, l mean We'll do it in the car.
Oh, Pete, you can't go out like that.
(SlGHS) Listen to all those great sounds.
l can hear the northern flicker woodpeckers.
Big fan of the flicker.
Excited to get back to work, huh? You have no idea.
(CELL PHONE BEEPS) Oh.
Well, good news.
Your CPK is normal, and your urine is negative for myoglobin, which means no muscle or heart damage.
Oh, awesome.
Yeah.
Hank, you're a very responsible doctor and a gentleman, but think l can take it from here? Yeah, no, of course.
l'm just l'm still concerned about the hyperacute hearing, so l'll be checking back to make sure it resolves.
Works for me.
Okay.
That looks like a nice place for a nap.
Well, l don't nap there.
l sleep there.
What? You sleep out here every night? Hank, there's 24 hours in each day.
Sun rises in the east, sets in the west.
Nature follows rules.
l try and stay as close to it as l can.
All right, just don't stay too close until this storm passes.
You believe lightning can strike twice? l believe in keeping people out of hospitals, so l can't afford to play the odds.
And neither can you.
Astraphobia.
What? The irrational fear of thunder and lightning.
Just diagnosed you.
Um, your park ranger is actually proof that my fear is entirely rational.
Actually, you could argue that he just took the hit for the 749,999 people closest to him, which would make you even safer than before.
No, it's good logic.
lt is.
(SCREAMS) Safer from lightning, at least.
(GROANlNG) Oh, my God.
Did you have wound care on standby for me? lf you'd reached for the power drill, l was gonna start scrubbing in.
Good.
Joke all you want.
But when everyone else is freaking out 'cause they don't have coast guard-approved weather gear, we'll see who's laughing then.
Dude, l have to say, l don't remember your astraphobia ever being quite this irrational.
lt's not irrational.
You're tying down a wicker frame.
lt's not wicker.
And suddenly there were two rule zombies.
And then three.
These zombies were angry and drooling, looking for blood.
You see, this was their park.
And they weren't gonna let some mischievous kid disrespect it and then brag about it to his mischievous friends.
They moved in closer.
(BOYS GASPlNG) To be continued, Explorers.
(BOYS GROAN) Hey.
HANK: Hey, bud.
You guys want to join us? We're about to practice our bowline flood rescue techniques.
That sounds like fun, but we're just here to see how you're doing.
l'm on top of the world.
Really.
This feels like the first time in my life people can actually see me.
Maybe we should prescribe lightning strikes to all our patients.
(LAUGHS) What Everything okay, Pete? Do you hear what l'm hearing? Probably not.
What is it? Banging, grunting.
Maybe the hawks are at it again.
Something's not right.
Explorers, stay here within the circle of trust.
The acting troop commander will be Chip, since he's the most responsible.
(BOYS GROAN) PETE: Over there! She's in a non-designated area.
Ma'am, don't move.
(YELLS) DlVYA: Stacy! Hey, you're the fugitive from the other night.
(GROANS) PETE: Easy.
He shouldn't be going down in that area.
Hey, Stacy.
Hi, l'm a doctor.
Let me just take a look at you.
l'm really all right.
Okay.
Okay.
ls she okay? l think you broke my hard drive.
Let's make sure that's the only thing that broke.
ls your arm okay? l told you.
l'm okay.
l need to make sure that my transceiver is up and running before the storm hits tonight.
You're gonna need a permit for that.
(GROANS) All right, you know what, ma'am, here's the situation.
We're gonna safely vacate you from the restricted area, then you need to clean up your stuff.
How am l supposed to clean up if l've been vacated? lt's a fair point.
Let's get you up from here.
Listen, l'm not bothering anyone.
l know.
Come.
PETE: Here we go.
HANK: Okay.
Grab my hand, ma'am.
Here we go.
One, two, three.
(STACY GRUNTS) Yeah.
There we go.
Oh! Uh, um Whoa.
That's That's weird.
PETE: Yeah, l'll say.
(GRUNTS) Yeah, l guess l rescued you too hard.
No, no, no, no.
That That noise.
Um (GRUNTS) Hey, is that Did you get zapped? Did l Um, well, yeah.
(EXCLAlMS) And you're okay? Actually, it's a bit early to say.
l've never met anyone who was struck before.
l mean, the odds of that PETE: 1 in 750,000.
Exactly.
l mean, well, roughly.
God, connecting to nature in such a primal way kind of makes you a rock star.
(LAUGHS) l mean, in meteorological circles.
You know, l Can you get off That's my gun.
That's not Yeah (GROANS) Whoa, here, let me help you.
(GROANS) Oh, my ribs.
Stacy, Stacy, we should really take a look at that.
l'm okay.
DlVYA: Oh, there it is.
Yeah, looks like you fractured the eighth rib on your right side.
That's no big deal, right? And the buzzing in my ears, l mean, l only heard it for a few seconds.
Yeah, l don't see any signs of head trauma.
You were probably just hearing your pulse racing from all the adrenaline.
Have you had many other bone injuries before? Comes with the job.
Um, l broke my tibia chasing an F3 tornado in lowa.
l fractured my clavicle during Hurricane Charley.
Oh, and l chipped a bone in my foot getting out of my truck twice.
You might have mentioned all of these injuries yesterday.
Believe me, l get banged up on the job all the time.
Yeah, no, l'm sure, but this is more than just hazards of the trade.
Your bones look a bit pale here, not quite as dense as l'd normally like to see.
You know what? l noticed the same thing yesterday when l did her wrist x-ray.
But she's awfully young for osteomalacia.
Osteo-what? lt's a deficiency in the components used to make bone.
Vitamin D, phosphorus Okay, enough about my ribs.
You guys, how about just slipping me some painkillers and getting this cast off, so l can get back to work? Okay, Stacy, you really need to slow down.
l will have plenty of time to relax next week, but there is a severe weather event peaking tonight, and l intend to be right in its path.
Have you had any surgeries recently? Nope.
Are you taking any meds? Nope.
Could be you're not getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet or just malabsorption.
We should order a full metabolic workup, and let's track down all of Stacy's previous x-rays.
Sounds like there may be a lot of them.
Okay, doc, can't we just Nope.
Sorry.
Cast won't come off before next week.
Can you finish up with this storm chaser? Yeah.
Thank you.
Um, HankMed memorandum.
ln the unlikely, but actually very likely event that the national power grid goes down, all patient accounts shall now be settled in cash, okay? Regarding your memorandum of two seconds ago concerning patient accounts, no.
Okay, where Whoa, where are you going? Got to change.
l'm meeting Jill for dinner.
Okay.
(STAMMERS) Tonight? Going out tonight? Yeah.
Are you out of your mind? You should be here.
You should be helping me batten down the hatches.
We have hatches, right? l'm sure Boris must have hatches.
Stop saying ''hatches.
'' And don't wait up for me.
Just leave the front hatch unlocked.
HANK: (SlGHS) So, l just want to let you know Uh, Emily and l broke up.
Oh.
Yeah.
She dumped you.
Why would you assume that? Hot, blonde doctor.
Sexy medical banter.
(STAMMERS) Feisty in the bedroom.
You expect me to believe you'd walk away from that? (CELL PHONE RlNGS) l Sorry, one sec.
Yeah.
Yeah, hello? PETE: Hello, Hank? Can you hear me? Pete, what's wrong? The northern leopard frog is gone.
The what What's gone? The northern leopard frog.
l can't hear its distinctive grunts anymore, or any of the other sounds from before.
Just this annoying thump in my ear.
lt's common for that to go away.
And that thumping is called residual tinnitus.
Completely normal for someone struck by lightning.
lt's not just that, Hank.
l feel like l lost my mojo.
l l feel all alone out here.
lnvisible again.
You've been through a trauma.
You know, mood swings are to be expected.
Listen, l want you to go inside and wait for me by the ranger station, okay? But the lightning's coming.
You know, (STAMMERS) l need (STATlC) I need What What You need what? (GROANS) Shoot.
Listen, would you mind if we make a stop on the way to dinner? No, not at all.
Thank you.
Well, l'm glad to see you're taking it easy.
The storm is approaching the target area, doc.
Time to saddle up.
Something wrong? Yeah, have you seen Ranger Pete? He's not at the station.
No, l think that falling on top of him was enough awkwardness for one day.
Well, this may be a medical emergency.
We need to find him.
Stacy, the buzzing in your ear that you told me about.
Yeah? l need to know exactly when you first noticed it.
Was it right around the time you landed on Pete? Yeah, but l thought that you said that was nothing.
Okay, try to remember, was it a buzz or was it more of, like, a whooshing sound? lt was more of a whooshing, and l also felt a vibration.
Okay, l think what you heard or felt wasn't coming from you.
lt was coming from Pete, from his neck.
We need to find him now before he has a stroke.
Stroke? Yeah.
Well, what can l do? There's a spot in the park that The one that gets a decent signal.
Yes, Sunrise Peak.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come with me.
l know a shortcut.
Great.
HANK: Pete! Pete, you shouldn't be out here.
JlLL: l'll call 91 1 ! Did he get hit again? l didn't see any lightning over here.
He probably suffered a transient ischemic attack.
l think he has a tear in his carotid artery, which could have caused a small clot.
Come on, buddy.
There he is.
Hey, Pete, we're gonna get you out of here soon.
Yup.
There it is.
A dissection of your carotid artery.
lt wasn't the lightning? Well, yes and no.
When you got struck the other day, l think the impact threw you to the ground with such force, it tore the artery in your neck.
Well, how could l not feel that? lt probably started as a very small tear that took a few days to grow, so it was easy to miss at first.
Hank, l still can't get a cell signal.
Well, we need to get him to a hospital.
There's got to be another Ambulance is on the way.
Great.
Thank you.
(SlGHS) Okay, bud.
Sorry to bother you while you are out to dinner, but Stacy's blood and urine lab work are back, and they confirm it's osteomalacia.
Question now is why.
Kidney failure, pancreatitis, acidosis None of them make sense for a seemingly healthy l feel like we're missing something, Hank.
Call me back? Okay, so l know who Stacy is, l know what urine is.
The rest you're going to have to explain.
Maybe later.
l am just about to take off.
Okay.
l'm very interested in Stacy's case, you know.
You are? Yeah, chasing storms is her whole life.
Um, plus Hank isn't here, so l'm second in command.
All right, l'm tied for second.
Okay? l thought maybe you could use someone to bounce things off of.
Well, that is very sweet.
But l am headed home before the rains start and the roads flood.
Um, so did you not hear what Stephanie Abrams said on the weather channel today? She said this is the big one, the end-of-summer storm.
The Mayans were right.
lt's not safe out there.
She said that, like, four times.
Evan, l'll be fine.
You know what? Divya, l can't allow it.
What about Raj? What would Raj do if he lost you? Just think about him.
Or does he have other wives? Look, look, look, this is not the time for you to be out on the open road in your car by yourself.
Divya.
Well, l suppose that there is more space to work here.
And your refrigerator is better stocked than mine.
l stocked it today, yeah.
So, uh Maybe l'll, you know, ride out the storm here.
lf that is okay with you.
Sure.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
lf it makes you feel safer.
Okay.
So, you wanna play Risk? A board game? Yeah.
You can have lndia.
Yay.
All right, we need a head CT to rule out hemorrhagic stroke and a CT angio of his neck to confirm my diagnosis.
JlLL: The vascular surgeon's waiting at the ER.
HANK: Lift.
(SlGHS) You're gonna be fine, Pete.
Thanks for saving my life, Hank.
Hey, you can thank Stacy.
She's the one who could hear your damaged artery when she fell on you.
Good thing l rescued her.
lf we hadn't caught this now, it could have led to a major stroke.
Pete, what were you doing out there? l don't know.
l was looking for something.
Whatever it is, you're not gonna find it in a lightning storm.
Maybe you already have it.
You just need the confidence to trust that.
Hey, doc.
Yeah.
Uh, can l ride with him? Yeah, if it's okay with Really? Sure.
No, wait a minute.
You can't miss the storm.
That's the only reason you're here.
Are you kidding? (LAUGHS) l get to hang out with an actual lightning victim.
That's the best field study ever.
And, besides, there's always another storm.
BOTH: That's the beauty of nature.
You know, l remember something about when l got zapped.
STACY: Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Pete, we'll meet you there.
Something tells me Chewy's isn't gonna be open.
Yeah, l'm sorry we didn't make it to dinner.
l guess we'll have to take a rain Whoa! Whoa.
(SlGHS) (EXCLAlMS) (BOTH LAUGH) Are you okay? Yeah, l'm fine.
Okay, good.
(SlGHS) And glad we didn't get here three seconds sooner.
Okay.
Ah, perfect.
(SlGHS) (THUNDER CRASHES) (BOTH LAUGH) Like l was saying, rain check.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
Exactly.
All right, come on, Divs.
l'm attacking Yakutsk.
Evan, l am here because there is a storm raging outside, not because l want to relive being a teenager.
With no life.
(THUNDER CRASHES) (SQUEALS) Though that is exactly what a teenage girl sounds like.
Maybe you should be watching Twilight.
Seen it.
Team Edward.
Hank, sorry to bother you again, but l have been reviewing some case studies, and there is one condition that we haven't ruled out yet for Stacy.
Unfortunately, diagnosing it requires a full-body scan.
Call me.
l'm here with Evan.
Alone.
(ELECTRlClTY BUZZlNG) Of course.
(SlGHS) Still no signal? Nope.
Okay, we can't stay here all night.
l'm gonna walk to the main road and try to find some help.
Seriously? Yeah.
Hank, no.
You're gonna have to swim your way out of the park.
Oh, really? That's the first time l've seen you show any concern about the storm.
Well, it's the first time l've been almost crushed by a tree.
True.
Okay.
Don't go anywhere now.
l'm going with you.
That's where l'm going.
All right.
One, two, three, go! (BOTH SCREAMlNG) No.
No good.
Back in the car! (JlLL LAUGHlNG) OH! (GRUNTS) BOTH: Oh! Okay, that was possibly the worst idea ever.
Yeah, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
(SlGHS) Wow.
Maybe we should just stay here a while.
Now that's the best idea ever.
Okay.
EVAN: They should not be out in this weather.
DlVYA: Evan, relax.
They're having dinner.
And not only is this power outage temporary, but you are completely prepared for it.
ln fact, because of you, we all are.
EVAN: You're right.
lt's go time.
Just let me flip on our new emergency backup generator.
Ha-ha.
(DlVYA SlGHS) EVAN: Anything? No.
Oh.
Anything? No.
(EVAN GRUNTlNG) Anything? Still no.
So much for your battle plan.
EVAN: At least l had one.
That may or may not have involved me buying a generator on Craigslist.
As-is.
Thank you.
(SlGHS) Damn the end of summer.
What did you just say? l said, ''Damn the end of summer storm.
'' No, you said, ''Damn the end of summer.
'' lt doesn't take a psychologist to figure out where you're going with this.
Where are you going with this? Maybe this isn't about the storm.
Your father could be going to prison.
Many of HankMed's clients will be leaving their summer homes.
You'll be leaving the Hamptons.
Which means we'll still have a zillion resumes to go through.
Then l'll have to train your replacement.
Yeah, it does feel like everything's up in the air.
Yeah.
ln a few weeks, l will be moving to London, starting a whole new life.
lt is unsettling.
But like all storms, this one is going to pass.
And you'll be fine, Evan.
We both will.
ls that the worst of it? Maybe Zeus miscalculated on this one.
Maybe his thought process is flawed.
Maybe not.
Evan, can you connect the laptop to the big screen? Stacy said that the key to predicting a storm pattern was to synthesize all the information and assemble the big picture.
We don't have to wait for a full-body scan.
Stacy's had so many prior breaks that most of her body has already been x-rayed.
EVAN: That's so cool.
That's almost her whole body.
There it is.
Where? On her right foot.
From an x-ray taken two years ago.
l think that that little growth is what's causing the malabsorption.
And if l'm right, it's an easy fix.
Wow.
lt's almost like you've turned into Hank.
Except you say ''shedule.
'' HANK: Let's see what we've got in here.
Okay.
(SlGHS) Blankie.
Yes.
Yes, yes.
Could have used these five minutes ago.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
You got an emergency change of casual women's clothing? Even better.
Beef stew and Mediterranean chicken.
Mmm.
Vacuum-packed for maximum freshness.
(LAUGHS) Lady's choice.
Hmm Hank, you really are prepared for any situation.
lt's all Evan.
Oh, he must never know this emergency kit actually came in handy.
Deal.
Okay.
Okay.
Honestly, l expected worse.
You think this is good? l know this terrific freeze-dried place in Southampton.
The best.
(BOTH CHUCKLE) (THUNDER CRASHES) l'm at the hospital with Stacy and Pete.
lt would be nice if you called.
l'm getting worried, Hank.
(LAUGHlNG) l can't tell the difference between them, can you? l'm so sorry.
The roads must be a mess after the storm.
l am sure that Hank is on his way.
But your carotid stent procedure went very well, Mr.
Stambleck.
You should be back to work in a couple of days.
Writing as many citations as you want.
And l hate to state the obvious, but you should avoid any further lightning encounters.
No worries.
We're hoping to install the new Zeus detection system in the park next month.
Pretty amazing technology.
So as soon as they remove this thing from my foot, my bones just go back to normal? lt's called oncogenic osteomalacia.
Okay.
The growth secretes an enzyme that inhibits vitamin and mineral absorption into your bones.
After the surgery, your bones will be able to absorb them again and should normalize in a couple of months.
ln storm chaser lingo, ff l would say that this condition is an F1 .
Oh, l can sleep through one of those.
So, Jill's not in her office.
The nurse just told me that her phone's been going straight to voice mail for hours.
Well, they were both with us in the park last night.
They were supposed to meet us here.
How big is the park? About 1,700 acres.
So, they could be anywhere.
l can call in a search team.
Or we could use my truck.
Actually, l got this one.
l got it.
EVAN: So, l'm not gonna harp on the fact that my thorough storm preparations were mocked, much like Benjamin Franklin was mocked when he flew his kite too close to the Liberty Bell.
You're harping.
And bastardizing American history.
But who's grateful now that l put state-of-the-art GPS locators in your bags? Grateful that you can track my every move? (SlGHS) Divs, l prefer to think of it as protecting my valuables, actually.
(BEEPlNG) Bingo.
Guys! Hey, guys! Hey, we're here to rescue you.
Guys.
Hey.
Oh, my God.
What? Oh.
(SlGHS) lt looks like they rescued each other.
What should we do? Well, we should leave them be while we call for road service.
Oh, my God.
There's no signal out here, though.
There's nothing.
You know, l believe that there is an emergency phone at the ranger station.
Oh, my God, Jill and Hank.
Jank! Jank is back.
That's hilarious.
Hey, we made a pretty good team.
We should have a combo name, in fact.
Evan and Divya Evadivs.
Eva That's weak.
Divya and Evan Divyan.
Divyan? Okay, here's one.
Divya and idiot.
Didiot.
Not bad.
Hmm.
All right.
How about we compromise? (SlGHS) ABRAMS ON RADlO: Also coming up next here This is Stephanie Abrams.
You know, l always thought (SHUSHES) She's a weather woman, okay? Show some respect.
So get out and enjoy the sunshine.
Maybe go down to the market, get some fresh fish,
