SkyMed (2022) s03e04 Episode Script
Stuck
1
There is no way that
the ops manager is gonna allow
a film crew on our planes.
I'm staying. We can figure
things out without any pressure.
Have you ever considered
specializing in pediatrics?
I'd have to go to Toronto?
Who's Mel? Earlier, you
called the patient Mel,
but her name is Dani.
What's the scalpel for?
I know how important it is to you, Lex,
to be a perfect pilot, but
my patient could lose her leg.
- Stef!
- Apiscimakesisis.
That's what Kookoo called him
when he was a kid, "Little fox".
I like you, Hayley, and
I don't wanna do anything
- to hurt your recovery.
- I mean, do we have to put a label on it?
I'm not pregnant, am I?
Women with the BRCA gene
have an increased
risk of ovarian cancer.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(CRYSTAL): They say
time heals all wounds.
But the problem with
time is that you have
to live through it.
Every excruciating second,
wondering when will
it finally get better?
(ALARM BEEPING)
Cement glue is a regular culprit here.
The most common presentation
being accidental adhesion
of the hands, fingers, or eyelids.
This case, however,
is a bit more delicate.
(CURIOUS MUSIC)
You said the lube was in the top drawer?
- It is. Usually.
- Oh
I build a lot of model airplanes,
so I buy the glue in giant tubes.
Yeah, I have to be at
work in a couple hours.
The Internet said to
use heat to melt it,
so we tried a hairdryer.
You do know cement
glue is flammable, right?
- We do now.
- Yeah.
(AIRPLANE ROARS)
(THEME MUSIC)
(LEXI): You smell interesting.
Patient barfed on me as we
were getting her into the plane.
It's not her fault.
She has a nasty fever.
The IV will help with
the nausea, okay, Sonia?
(SONIA WINCES) As if this
gross flu wasn't bad enough.
Two of the hottest guys ever
come pick me up, and I barf on them.
Hey, beautiful people barf, too.
Remember back in cadets
when we discovered
- you can't stand turnip?
- Okay Miss Perfect,
I've seen you yack pickled okra.
- (SCOFFS)
- Wait you, you think
- I try to be perfect?
- You were top cadet twice.
I don't need to be perfect.
I just wanna make sure I'm
making the right choices,
- you know?
- Yes, of course, top cadet.
This is tight. Look, it's not binding.
It's cold out. It might just be stiff.
Let's snag it for maintenance
later tonight, just in case.
Oh, everything aches.
Fevers will do that to you.
The acetaminophen should help.
Let's try to get you
more comfortable, okay?
- (WINCES)
- Ow, my neck.
One second, let me just
(WINCING)
Uh, I think I might know
what's wrong with you, Sonia.
- Meningitis?
- (LEXI): Well, Tristan and Nowak
had more contact with
her than me, but Marianne
is making us all quarantine
until the patient's
- bloodwork comes back.
- Lex, if it's viral meningitis,
you're okay, but if it's bacterial,
that shit's highly
contagious and serious.
I'm fine, babe. Just a
couple days off with Netflix
on the couch, right?
Although, I guess if there's a
chance I could be contagious,
we should probably
sleep in our own rooms.
Look it, if there's anything you need
or if you start having symptoms
I'm fine. I'll just miss you, is all.
I'm, I'm always here,
okay? Just call anytime.
- Got it. Bye.
- (CALL BEEPS OFF)
(SIGHS)
(PHONE RINGS)
(CHUCKLES) Okay, that was fast.
(CRYSTAL): Hey Stef,
are you at the hangar?
Oh, uh, hey, Crystal, yeah,
I'm just changing to go home. Why?
did I leave my textbook
in the locker room?
Complex Physiology, Hachey & Mikos?
I took it out of my bag and I think
I forgot to put it back.
Oh yeah, it's here,
on top of your locker.
Ugh, of course it is.
Okay, I'll grab it after clinical.
Oh, hey, you know the
car accident patient
you picked up? The one
with the leg trauma?
(DISORIENTING MUSIC)
She transferred back to Thompson.
She's got a long recovery ahead.
Um, you know what? I'll
bring you Hachey & Mikos.
Really? But you worked all night.
Yeah, but uh, Lexi's
quarantined and I'm off.
It's better than hanging out
a home worrying all day, right?
Wow, okay, thanks.
(TRISTAN): Not that I'm not
totally enjoying quarantine,
but, mmm, I'm hungry, boo.
I know, but it's so cozy in this bed.
Uh-uh. Come on. Up, up, up, up, up.
Since we can't go anywhere,
maybe we should order
a pizza or something.
Oh, there's a pamphlet over on
my dresser from this new place.
- Said they got jerk chicken.
- What's this?
Sick Kids pediatric emergency medicine.
Oh, it's just something
Marianne thought I should apply for.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- I don't know, I was
Just thinking about it, but
- I wasn't gonna go.
- Tristan, people don't usually
apply for things that
they don't wanna do.
So, you want this,
you've hidden the fact
that you've applied for it,
and now you're lying to me
about the fact that you wanna do it.
I'm not lying, it's just
I didn't think you'd want me to go.
Great. (SIGHS)
That's one more thing
that's my fault, right?
Nowak, wait!
Stop, come on.
(PIERRE): I couldn't find your sugar.
Is Crystal around?
(CURIOUS MUSIC)
Crystal isn't here today,
she's at the hospital.
- I'll wait.
- It'll be hours.
She's on a 12, and I
don't mean to alarm you,
but we may have been
exposed to some meningitis
and we probably shouldn't
have visitors right now.
Well, I'll keep my distance, then.
But I need to see Crystal.
Do you need help with something?
- Oh
- A neurovascular deficit
warrants immediate reduction.
Minimizing time to reduction
is critical to prevent
avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
(PHONE RINGS)
If the hip is reduced within six hours,
incidence of AVM drops significantly.
So, uh, there are five accepted
techniques for hip reduction.
(CONTINUES IN BACKGROUND)
Hey, what's wrong? Are you
experiencing meningitis symptoms?
It's this damn tooth again, Crissy.
Tansi Pierre, what are
you doing at the crew house?
He's waiting for you. I told
him you had a clinical but
Pierre's been having problems
with that tooth for ages,
but he refuses to go to the dentist.
He's in a lot of pain. I
think he's got a fever,
- but he won't even let me check.
- Crap, it sounds like
it finally needs to be pulled.
But what if he won't go to a dentist?
(DR. PAUL): And now for
the Bigelow maneuver.
I need a volunteer.
- (STUDENT): I will.
- Oh, uh, I gotta go.
Um, I'll call in a
prescription for antibiotics
to get him started, but
make sure he stays there
until I can drag him to the dentist.
- No, Crystal, we're in a quar
- (CALL BEEPS OFF)
(DR. PAUL): Traction
aligned with the femur.
Crap.
What now?
Well, I guess we
find you some ibuprofen,
sit tight, and wait for someone
to pick up your prescription.
(SIGHS)
And it's just that easy.
So, I'll expect each of
you to be able to give
a practical demonstration of
each of the five techniques
- first thing tomorrow morning.
- (STUDENT): Okay.
(NERVOUS MUSIC)
(NURSE): Dr. Paul,
the lab reports are in.
- (DR. PAUL): Great, thanks.
- Hayley?
Oh, hey hospital buddy.
TCH is low on staff and
I needed extra cash, so
Oh, and before I forget,
Stef just dropped off
your textbook. It's in my
bag at the nurses' station
and there's a patient in bay
2 who requested you personally.
Okay, but what about your
oncologist? Is everything okay?
I'm fine. It's not cancer.
Yeah, but the false positive.
It was a corpus luteum
cyst. It can happen sometimes,
but it's not a big deal. It
should resolve on its own.
They do wanna keep
monitoring me, though.
My oncologist referred
me to a specialist
for precautionary measures.
Well, what kind of
precautionary measures?
- (EMT): Incoming.
- (DR. PAUL): Look alive, folks.
We just heard there's a fire at
Lesarge Lumber Mill outside of town.
Thompson FD is working to contain it.
So far, no casualties,
but we can expect burns
and lots of inhalation. Ms.
Roberts, this one's for you.
This doesn't look fire related.
It's not. June's been dealing
with gestational diabetes,
toxemia, and, and little Sloan here
arrived three weeks early.
She needs to be monitored
until I can connect with
her specialist in Winnipeg.
But L&D is closed today.
Can you keep an eye on her down here?
Just park me anywhere.
I'm so tired, I'm already sleeping.
Well, we can do better than that.
Let's find you a nice, quiet room.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR)
- Hello?
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(DANI): Come on, you stupid
thing. Ugh! Ouch, damn it!
(STEF): Hey, you need help?
Uh, thanks.
I'm still getting used
to this dumb thing.
Uh, new wheels, huh?
I don't remember it,
but apparently I crashed
the last car I drove, too,
so definitely not a great driver.
Heh.
I'm starving and the food
up here is super cringe.
But I heard there's a
cafeteria downstairs,
so I was trying to get there, but
- Uh yeah, I'll take you.
- Really?
Yeah, I'm just killing
time waiting on test results
- for a friend, so
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
- I'm Dani, by the way.
Um, Mel.
Y-You know, the food
in here is super cringe.
- (DANI CHUCKLES)
- But if you feel like
making a quick jailbreak,
I know a good place.
Yeah.
I'll have the grilled chicken, no sauce,
and steamed veggies.
- Um
- Actually, I'll have
onion rings and chocolate cake.
Sounds good. Uh,
cake for me too, please.
(ALARM BEEPS)
Crap, it's time for my pills.
Uh, they're in my
backpack. Can you maybe
Yeah.
What? Top athlete award?
- (CHUCKLES)
- Yeah, um, I'm a dancer.
Was a dancer.
Had a scholarship and everything.
It was graduation last
night, but I missed it. So
Anyway, that's why I can
order onion rings now,
since I'm not training anymore.
I wasn't looking for the
cafeteria when you found me.
I was trying to find
somewhere to get rid of it.
Burn it, maybe.
Dani, wait, why?
Because it's a joke now.
I'm never gonna dance again.
I'll be lucky if I can walk again.
Look, I know things
are tough right now but
no offense, because
you're being really nice,
but you don't know what it's like.
Dancing was my life.
And if I knew I was gonna lose that
I almost rather they
just left me in that car.
(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)
Um
You know, I wasn't much
older than you when I lost
someone really special to me.
Trying to pick myself
up after that was
It was really hard.
But I'm glad that I did,
because eventually,
found someone new.
Someone great.
And I didn't see her coming.
But if I had given up when
things were at their worst,
I might have missed
out on the very best.
And what if there isn't any more best?
That award
Tells me that you don't settle.
You work hard for what you want.
Someone like that will always have
more bests ahead of them.
(SIGHS)
Maybe you're right.
These onion rings are pretty great.
See? Good things are coming already.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
- (CHUCKLING)
- Frieda?
Hey, little cuz. Long time, long time.
Hey, good to see you.
Oh, your cholesterol isn't
acting up again, is it?
I thought we had that under control
- with the teas Kookoo showed us?
- No, no, they're still working.
I just need to renew my prescription.
And you haven't been back up
to North House since Jeremy's burial.
Everyone misses seeing you around, kid.
Yeah, I've just been
really busy with med school
and trying to graduate
before I'm a kookum.
I have your stuff.
My stuff?
Isabelle was working
on them when she passed.
It's only right you should
be the one to finish them.
(EMOTIONAL MUSIC)
Apiscimakesisis.
Kookoo was making these for Jeremy.
All the more reason
it should be you, Crys.
Um
Well, since you're here, we
should check your bloodwork.
- I'm
- Okay.
- I'm just gonna go do that.
- Okay.
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
Whole wheat, PB, and cheese.
Your comfort food.
Look, I'm sorry we never
got around to ordering pizza.
Hey, I wasn't gonna take it.
I wasn't gonna go to Sick Kids.
Why not?
Isn't that what you
just got mad at me for,
not taking the Birch Wing air job
and not telling you
about it? Boy, Tristan,
you are sending some
real mixed signals here,
but I guess I should
just get used to it, huh?
- What does that mean?
- I'm always the asshole.
Nowak is so suspicious.
Nowak doesn't trust anybody.
But this, this shit, this
keeping secrets from me
and not telling me.
Are you blaming me for you cheating?
No, I just
I screwed up, but this is why
it's hard to trust you sometimes.
Just because I'm the idiot who cheated,
doesn't mean we both
haven't made mistakes here.
I know I need to earn your
trust back and I want to do it,
but how am I supposed to trust you
when you're still
keeping secrets from me?
(SIGHS) Tristan, what are we doing here?
How are we supposed to get past this
when we both keep making
the same goddamn mistakes?
(PIERRE MOANS)
Pierre?
My tooth.
Jesus Christ, you're burning up.
Okay, we can't wait for Crystal.
We need to get some antibiotics
- in you and get that tooth out.
- No. No dentist.
- This is an emergency.
- When I was a kid,
he wasn't even a real dentist.
He just had a chair in the
back of a taxidermy shop.
He had to drill, but
there was no freezing.
(PANTING)
I'm not going through that again.
You can't just ignore
it and hope it goes away.
I'll wait for Crystal. I trust her.
Listen, I'll get you
some Tylenol for the fever
and some ibuprofen for the pain.
And if you still won't see a dentist,
I'll pull the tooth.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
Oh, of course it's a molar.
The morphine should help.
I'm gonna have to pull
hard, but it's gonna be
tough to get leverage.
Okay, ready Pierre? Open up.
(NERVOUS MUSIC)
(PIERRE GROANS)
Okay, ready?
(PIERRE GROANS)
Okay.
Okay, come on. Okay.
- You need to loosen it.
- No drilling.
No drills, no drills,
just try, try rocking it.
- Come on.
- (PIERRE WINCING)
(PIERRE SCREAMS)
Feels better.
Hurts like a son of a bitch,
but it feels better.
(EXHALES)
(MOANS SOFTLY)
Welcome back, sunshine.
What happened?
We were really stuck
with that cement glue.
When they separated us,
there was a lot of blood
and you passed out and hit your head.
- They admitted us both, so
- Wait, what time is it?
- Wait, where's my phone?
- Don't worry,
I called your work and told
them you were in the hospital.
I didn't give any details
or anything like that.
(CHUCKLES) Look,
I know last night wasn't the
romantic reunion we wanted,
but I'm just glad
it's finally happening.
That we're finally
gonna be together again.
(MAN): I'm looking for
a patient, Carrie Jones?
(WHISPERS): You need to leave, now.
- What?
- No, he can't find you here.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Get.
(MAN): C-a-r-r-i-e.
(NURSE): Just down the hall, room 3.
- Thank you.
- Carrie, you're seeing someone else?
Get into the bathroom.
Go into the bathroom.
He's big!
Just go in and shut
(CHUCKLES)
Baby, what happened?
Your work called me.
Babe, I thought you were
on a long haul to Florida? Oh.
Hey. As soon as I
heard you might be hurt,
- I turned the truck around.
- Oh, it's just a stupid hairdryer burn,
and then I fainted.
What kind of a husband
would I be if I didn't
- check on my wife, right?
- (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
(CREAK IN BACKGROUND)
Who is that? Is there someone in there?
Uh, babe. I'm okay, okay?
You didn't need to
come all the way back.
(ANXIOUS MUSIC RESUMES)
(HANDLE RATTLES)
There is someone in there.
Oh, it's probably just busted.
Are we really doing this again, Carrie?
No, no, you don't need the
emergency release, Doug, okay?
There is no one in there, I
(MUSIC PEAKS THEN STOPS)
(SIGHS)
I'm sorry.
You all right, babe?
I need to work on my trust issues.
How are you feeling?
Toxemia usually resolves
within the first 48 hours
of delivery, but your
pressure is still high.
Labetalol should help bring it down.
I'll monitor your sugars overnight,
and then we'll medevac you to Winnipeg
first thing in the morning
to see your specialist.
Have you been able to sleep?
Every time I put Sloan down, he cries.
Well, is there somebody that I can call
- to help you out with the baby?
- That would be great,
but I'm doing this solo.
And my mom passed away
a few years ago, so
I'm sorry.
I've got this awful headache.
Let me get you something.
You'd think as a biologist,
I'd understand the risks
of geriatric pregnancy,
but we always think
we'll be the one to buck the statistics.
How naïve was I to think the
IVF was gonna be the worst part?
How was IVF?
A friend of mine has a
complicated medical situation
and her doctor suggested that she freeze
her healthy eggs now, but it's a lot.
The cost, the injections, and
She isn't even sure
if she wants a family.
Yeah, I was always worried
about getting it right too,
you know? Especially with
something as big as a kid.
Is now the right time? Am I ready?
And eventually, you kind
of realize there's never
going to be a right time.
And you can run out of time
waiting for the right time.
Do you mind just putting
him in the bassinet?
Actually, do you want
me to just take him?
It's a quiet night. I'm
just gonna be at my desk.
Maybe just for a little nap?
(TENDER MUSIC)
Psst!
Hello?
Psst!
(ECHOES): Lady, up here!
Little help, please?
(STRANGE MUSIC BUILDING)
Are you sure he can help?
(HAYLEY): Don't worry,
this guy's really good.
Whoa, I didn't think
you were supposed to make
any big commitments your
first year of sobriety?
He or she is pretty stinkin' cute.
I'm just holding him
so his mom can sleep.
- What are you doing here?
- You called for a pilot.
- I called for Chopper.
- Okay, well Chopper got a page,
but we're both pilots.
Whatever he can do, I can do.
(BLAINE): Great, the backup squad.
(CURIOUS MUSIC)
Hey, how are ya?
Yeah, that's a Chopper special.
(WHEEZER GRUNTS)
How ya doin', buddy?
Not great.
Yeah, you're pretty stuck, aren't you?
How in the hell did you get up here?
It's a long and humiliating story.
- Are you naked?
- I said it was humiliating.
Uh-huh. Yeah, he's stuck.
Oh, sorry. Uh, I'm not
sure how we're gonna get him
outta there without
cutting through the ducts.
The fire department's busy
with the fire at the mill
and maintenance is gone for the night.
We can't just leave him up there.
His skin's sticking to the sides.
Maybe if we lubed him up.
(BLAINE): Uh-uh, no lube.
That's how I got in this mess.
I think Wheezer's right, Blaine.
I don't think we're
getting you outta there
unless we can slide you out.
I'll get the lube.
- (WHEEZER GRUNTS)
- Great, more lube.
(LUBRICANT SQUELCHES)
Just cover as much skin as possible.
Everywhere it contacts the metal.
- All right.
- Wait, what do you fly?
I wanna make sure you're a real pilot.
Well, I fly a lot of
things but uh, right now,
I'm captain of a King Air 200.
- Acceptable.
- Damn right it is.
So, how did you get into these vents?
- (SIGHS)
- Yeah, I really thought she was the one.
I've loved Carrie since high school.
But she's like an F-18, you know?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. She's gotta be free to fly.
Yeah, and I've always known that.
Unlike those losers
she kept leaving me for.
But you know, I always
let her do her thing
knowing eventually,
she'd come back to me.
Then we got glued to each
other and her husband showed up.
I'm sorry, her husband?
Yeah. It was a shock to me, too.
But now I know, Carrie's not an F-18,
- she's a 737 max.
- Bruh.
And I just really thought if I waited
and gave her what she needed,
she'd realize I was the one.
But instead, I realized
I'm just her backup.
All those years thinking
about Carrie and her needs.
Should have been thinking
about what I needed.
(TENDER MUSIC PLAYS BRIEFLY)
Yeah.
All right, um, we're ready.
- Okay, careful with his spine.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
- All right, bud, here we go.
(WHEEZER GRUNTING)
Oh yeah, here we go. Uh,
I think I got the head.
Okay, uh delivering
shoulders is the hardest part.
- (GROANS)
- I got him. I got him.
Whoa, whoa!
(GROANING)
(PANTING)
Congratulations, it's a boy.
(LAUGHS)
You know, I can't decide
if getting hit by a bloody
naked guy or a lubed
up naked guy was worse.
Thank you for helping out tonight.
Oh, it was fun, actually. I
don't wanna call it a date.
I mean, I know we're not
Well, we're not calling
anything a date but, um,
yeah, it's just, it's been a while
since we just hung out, you know?
I've been busy.
You okay? Is it your program? Because
No. Nothing you need to worry about.
Well, it doesn't mean I'm
not gonna worry about it.
Look, I know you
You don't wanna put
a label on this, but
I still care about you,
Hayley, and I don't know
if I can do whatever this is and
Not care about you.
Wheezer, I just have
a lot going on right now.
I want you to look after yourself.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
But I gotta look after me, too.
Crystal?
Hayley, what is this?
It's hormones.
I don't have ovarian cancer yet,
but my oncologist thinks
it's likely I will one day.
Are these the precautionary measures?
He referred me to a fertility specialist
who recommended (INHALES)
if I ever want kids one day,
I should freeze my healthy eggs now.
Oh, Hayley.
I'm the same age my
mom was when she had me.
She died when I was 13.
I just realized that
I do wanna have a family.
Someday.
But what if I end up getting sick,
and I leave them, like my mom left us?
Come here.
(TJ): So, what's in like in the future?
You have flying cars yet?
We're not in the future.
We're in Australia.
Yeah, you are, it's Thursday here
and it's Friday there.
You're a whole day ahead.
Oh, you need to get dressed, kiddo.
It's almost time for karate.
I wanted to do hockey like you,
but Mom's making me do karate.
She says there's too much equipment.
Yeah, but you know what?
All superheroes know karate.
Why don't you go be good for
mommy and get dressed, okay?
I got the money you sent.
You don't have to do that,
TJ. I don't expect it.
Let me do some research online.
See if I could find a deal on
used hockey gear in Melbourne.
Thanks, TJ. It means a lot.
To both of us.
All good.
Talk to you later. Tell Jude I said bye.
(CALL BEEPS OFF)
(SIGHS)
(BELL ON DOOR JINGLES)
Hey, TJ. Can I get a black coffee?
Uh, it's a bit late for coffee, no?
I haven't slept and I'm getting tested
on hip reductions tomorrow,
and I missed the demonstration.
Yeah, but coffee's no
good for a clear head.
It's late. I'll make you a mint tea.
(CHUCKLES) That's what
my kookum used to say.
Well, she'd love
what I'm gonna say next.
What have you eaten all day?
Mm-hmm, see?
A mint tea and an everything
bagel with cream cheese, coming up.
Thanks.
(TJ HUMMING SOFTLY)
You know, med school
looks a lot like senior yoga.
My mom did that same move.
I need to be able
to do these reductions,
but it's hard when, when you
can't practice on someone.
Say less. You need a body?
It's dead in here and uh,
that doesn't look like
that, I'm just sayin'.
Okay, supine position,
exactly like this.
I'll be using a combination
of inline traction
and external rotation to reduce
this anterior dislocation.
But it won't hurt. I just need to
Does that feel secure?
Hmm. Good to go.
Okay, great.
I'm gonna raise your leg
up on the table like this
and then I need to get my leg under you.
I'll be gentle, okay?
(TJ GRUNTS SOFTLY)
- Did I hurt you?
- No, I'm fine.
Okay.
(CHUCKLING)
What, are you ticklish?
Nah, there's uh, something
in my back on the table.
Oh, well, why didn't you tell me?
- 'Cause you were so serious.
- Oh, well, hey.
I didn't wanna stop you.
Come here.
- You were on a fork.
- (BOTH LAUGH)
Well, hey, my hip feels great, Doc.
- Good. Did my job.
- You healed me.
(SNORTS)
(PAGER BEEPING)
I'll take that.
(TENDER MUSIC)
You okay?
Um, yeah, I just forgot
I have a schedevac tonight.
Okay, no worries. I'll
uh, get you a to-go cup.
(SIGHS)
So, hey, I was thinking we
(AIRPLANE ROARS)
(GRACE WINCES)
You okay, Grace?
My legs feel numb.
And the dizziness is getting worse.
I'll get you some
dimenhydrinate for the nausea.
Hopefully your neurologist can
help until this flare passes.
After two decades of living
with this disease, trust me,
MS never passes.
Sometimes it flares up.
Sometimes it's so quiet,
it tricks you into thinking you're okay.
But it's always there.
Never goes away.
And it never gets easier.
You just learn to live with it.
How?
That's all you can do, isn't it?
Live each day as it comes.
One at a time.
The only way out is through.
(EMOTIONAL MUSIC)
(MONITOR BEEPING RHYTHMICALLY)
How we doin', mama?
My head's killing me
and there's this pain in my chest.
Your blood pressure hasn't
gone down, it's gone up.
We can't wait until morning.
I have to call Dr. Paul
- to schedule a medevac.
- (BEEPING QUICKENS)
It's a seizure.
(ALARMS BLARING)
I need to get you on a plane.
(WHEEZER): Thanks for stepping in.
All my pilots are either
quarantined or dutied out.
And I know that you're captain now,
but I didn't have anyone
else to fly right seat.
It's all good, Cap. I'm
still right seat qualified,
and uh, happy to help.
Especially with a patient this urgent.
This isn't just a headache, is it?
Your pressure keeps going up.
160 over 110 is high,
but we're almost there.
My chest still really hurts.
You're tachycardic.
- How much longer?
- Starting our descent in 10.
We're almost there. Do
you want me to take Sloan?
He's the only thing keeping my heart
from beating outside my chest.
A lot of people said I was
crazy for doing this alone,
but I've always been so healthy.
It never occurred to me to
worry about something like this.
And now, I'm not even worried for me.
I'm worried of what happens to him.
We're almost there, okay?
I'm just so glad I got to meet him.
That I got to have
this moment, at least.
(BEEPING QUICKENS)
- She's in V-tach.
- (SLOAN CRYING)
She's got a pulse. I need to cardiovert.
- What's our ETA?
- Beginning our descent now.
(GEAR CLUNKS)
Shit. The elevator's jammed. Shit!
- You think the cable snapped?
- I need one of you to take the baby.
- I have to cardiovert.
- We can't help.
We have a, uh, flight control problem.
Lexi and Nowak flagged the
elevator for stiffness this morning.
Shit. Okay. Hang on, June.
Hang on, hang on. Hang on.
Okay, charging, 100 joules.
We have to ride the power.
Control the pitch that way.
Wheezer, if we don't do
this exactly right, we
I know, we're gonna be
coming in fast with no trim.
We've gotta land gears down, flaps up.
Hayley, strap in. It's
gonna be a hard landing.
I can't. The patient
needs cardioversion.
Call it. Call mayday.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Hey, the last time I
came in long and fast,
I broke my back and I
was lucky, so call it!
Mayday, mayday, mayday. Winnipeg Centre,
this is SkyMed 922. We have
a flight control problem.
We need a long runway into wind.
We have a jammed elevator and we
are coming in fast with no flaps.
(DISPATCH): SkyMed 922,
you are cleared a visual
- approach to any runway.
- 18's the longest.
Emergency vehicles are rolling.
- (LIFEPAK CHARGES)
- Clear.
(JOLTS)
Shit. Charging.
Winnipeg Center, we're
gonna need an ambulance.
There's a medical emergency on board.
Yeah, we might need one for us, too.
- Clear.
- (JOLTS)
- (SLOAN CRYING)
- Come on, June,
don't you dare leave Sloan. You hear me?
You're a mom now. He needs you. Clear.
Shit. Charging 200 joules.
Hayley, strap in, we're coming in hard.
I can't. The patient!

- (WHEEZER): Hayley, are you okay?
I got him.
(CHOPPER): What about the mother?
I got her. I got her.
Her rhythm's normal. She's okay.
I got you. I got you.
Oh, it's okay, June. I've got you.
I've got both of you.
I got her! I got her.
I got you.

(GENTLE MUSIC)
(INHALES AND EXHALES DEEPLY)
(TRISTAN): Pierre's doing a
lot better with that tooth out
and Marianne's got the bloodwork back.
Sonia has viral meningitis,
which is nowhere near as contagious
as its bacterial form.
And since none of us have any
symptoms, we're in the clear.
I wanna do the program
at Sick Kids, but
I feel like I owe you since you
gave up your dream job at Birch Wing.
Becoming chief pilot at Birch
Wing is not my dream job.
My dream is to fly for Air Canada.
But then, why have you never applied?
- You have enough hours.
- I thought about it,
but then we happened.
I think you're right.
I don't think we can move forward
if we're always keeping score or
blaming each other for our choices.
So, where does that leave us?
I think it leaves us
in the place where maybe
we learn to let go of
the stuff that hurts us?
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
Like a clean slate?
I think, instead of looking for reasons
not to trust each other,
we should start from trust.
Instead of waiting for one
another to screw up again,
maybe we just learn to trust
each other enough to move on?
You don't need to hide stuff
from me, Tris. I can handle it.
And I want you to have
the things that you want.
I think you'd be great in pediatrics.
And I think there's a
big difference between me
moving to another province
to become chief pilot
and you going away for
a few months to train.
And if we're gonna do this,
give each other a fresh start,
- I think you need to go.
- To Toronto?
Are you okay with that?
I think this is how we
give each other a clean slate.
You go and I trust
you while you're gone.
We both trust each other
enough to handle this.
You need to apply to
Air Canada too, Milosz.
You work so hard and you
deserve to take your shot.
And maybe if we trust each other enough,
if you get it,
we'll figure it out together.
So, we doing this?
Yeah.
We're doing this together.
I don't know if I can go
into a vent for a patient.
Maybe for you, but getting stuck
up there like that. Nah, fam.
No, I'd take a small space
over a control failure any day.
I didn't even know anything
like that could happen.
Yeah, it's rare, but Wheezer
and Chopper kept their cool.
That's why we have sops to fall back on,
in case something out
of the norm happens.
We know what to do.
- That's why I'm such a stickler.
- (STEF CHUCKLES)
I
I know you questioned me
about not wanting to land in Winnipeg
with the patient with the,
you know, the leg trauma.
But the thing is,
girlfriend Stef gets to
see all of girlfriend Lexi's
self-doubt behind the scenes.
But when we're at work,
and you're medic Stef
and I'm pilot Lexi
I need you to be able
to put all that aside
and trust me as a professional
to make the right decisions.
I need you to believe in me.
Okay, look, I'm sorry
I let it get personal
in front of the cameras, but Lex,
you still look like a great pilot.
It's not about how it looked
or me needing to be the perfect pilot.
It's about not letting
our personal relationship
get in the way of the job.
Hey. Look.
(CLEARS THROAT)
I love you, Stef,
and I love working with you.
But isn't that what
you're always saying?
Don't let the job get personal.
(PHONE BUZZES)
-
- Who's texting, Wheezer?
-
- Uh, no one. It's just a report
on our schedevac patient.
Look, Lex, I do believe in you,
okay? And I promise I'm not
letting the job get personal.
(EXHALES)
- (SIGHS)
- Okay, medic Stef,
- I'm gonna go flash up.
- Mm-hmm.
See you out there.
(MESSAGE BLOOPS)
(GENTLE POIGNANT MUSIC)
(CRYSTAL): They say
time heals all wounds.
Even the ones that feel like
they'll never get better
and never go away.
But we just have to keep going,
one day at a time.
That's all we can do.
Endure every painful second.
Because the only way out is through.
(THEME MUSIC)
There is no way that
the ops manager is gonna allow
a film crew on our planes.
I'm staying. We can figure
things out without any pressure.
Have you ever considered
specializing in pediatrics?
I'd have to go to Toronto?
Who's Mel? Earlier, you
called the patient Mel,
but her name is Dani.
What's the scalpel for?
I know how important it is to you, Lex,
to be a perfect pilot, but
my patient could lose her leg.
- Stef!
- Apiscimakesisis.
That's what Kookoo called him
when he was a kid, "Little fox".
I like you, Hayley, and
I don't wanna do anything
- to hurt your recovery.
- I mean, do we have to put a label on it?
I'm not pregnant, am I?
Women with the BRCA gene
have an increased
risk of ovarian cancer.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(CRYSTAL): They say
time heals all wounds.
But the problem with
time is that you have
to live through it.
Every excruciating second,
wondering when will
it finally get better?
(ALARM BEEPING)
Cement glue is a regular culprit here.
The most common presentation
being accidental adhesion
of the hands, fingers, or eyelids.
This case, however,
is a bit more delicate.
(CURIOUS MUSIC)
You said the lube was in the top drawer?
- It is. Usually.
- Oh
I build a lot of model airplanes,
so I buy the glue in giant tubes.
Yeah, I have to be at
work in a couple hours.
The Internet said to
use heat to melt it,
so we tried a hairdryer.
You do know cement
glue is flammable, right?
- We do now.
- Yeah.
(AIRPLANE ROARS)
(THEME MUSIC)
(LEXI): You smell interesting.
Patient barfed on me as we
were getting her into the plane.
It's not her fault.
She has a nasty fever.
The IV will help with
the nausea, okay, Sonia?
(SONIA WINCES) As if this
gross flu wasn't bad enough.
Two of the hottest guys ever
come pick me up, and I barf on them.
Hey, beautiful people barf, too.
Remember back in cadets
when we discovered
- you can't stand turnip?
- Okay Miss Perfect,
I've seen you yack pickled okra.
- (SCOFFS)
- Wait you, you think
- I try to be perfect?
- You were top cadet twice.
I don't need to be perfect.
I just wanna make sure I'm
making the right choices,
- you know?
- Yes, of course, top cadet.
This is tight. Look, it's not binding.
It's cold out. It might just be stiff.
Let's snag it for maintenance
later tonight, just in case.
Oh, everything aches.
Fevers will do that to you.
The acetaminophen should help.
Let's try to get you
more comfortable, okay?
- (WINCES)
- Ow, my neck.
One second, let me just
(WINCING)
Uh, I think I might know
what's wrong with you, Sonia.
- Meningitis?
- (LEXI): Well, Tristan and Nowak
had more contact with
her than me, but Marianne
is making us all quarantine
until the patient's
- bloodwork comes back.
- Lex, if it's viral meningitis,
you're okay, but if it's bacterial,
that shit's highly
contagious and serious.
I'm fine, babe. Just a
couple days off with Netflix
on the couch, right?
Although, I guess if there's a
chance I could be contagious,
we should probably
sleep in our own rooms.
Look it, if there's anything you need
or if you start having symptoms
I'm fine. I'll just miss you, is all.
I'm, I'm always here,
okay? Just call anytime.
- Got it. Bye.
- (CALL BEEPS OFF)
(SIGHS)
(PHONE RINGS)
(CHUCKLES) Okay, that was fast.
(CRYSTAL): Hey Stef,
are you at the hangar?
Oh, uh, hey, Crystal, yeah,
I'm just changing to go home. Why?
did I leave my textbook
in the locker room?
Complex Physiology, Hachey & Mikos?
I took it out of my bag and I think
I forgot to put it back.
Oh yeah, it's here,
on top of your locker.
Ugh, of course it is.
Okay, I'll grab it after clinical.
Oh, hey, you know the
car accident patient
you picked up? The one
with the leg trauma?
(DISORIENTING MUSIC)
She transferred back to Thompson.
She's got a long recovery ahead.
Um, you know what? I'll
bring you Hachey & Mikos.
Really? But you worked all night.
Yeah, but uh, Lexi's
quarantined and I'm off.
It's better than hanging out
a home worrying all day, right?
Wow, okay, thanks.
(TRISTAN): Not that I'm not
totally enjoying quarantine,
but, mmm, I'm hungry, boo.
I know, but it's so cozy in this bed.
Uh-uh. Come on. Up, up, up, up, up.
Since we can't go anywhere,
maybe we should order
a pizza or something.
Oh, there's a pamphlet over on
my dresser from this new place.
- Said they got jerk chicken.
- What's this?
Sick Kids pediatric emergency medicine.
Oh, it's just something
Marianne thought I should apply for.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- I don't know, I was
Just thinking about it, but
- I wasn't gonna go.
- Tristan, people don't usually
apply for things that
they don't wanna do.
So, you want this,
you've hidden the fact
that you've applied for it,
and now you're lying to me
about the fact that you wanna do it.
I'm not lying, it's just
I didn't think you'd want me to go.
Great. (SIGHS)
That's one more thing
that's my fault, right?
Nowak, wait!
Stop, come on.
(PIERRE): I couldn't find your sugar.
Is Crystal around?
(CURIOUS MUSIC)
Crystal isn't here today,
she's at the hospital.
- I'll wait.
- It'll be hours.
She's on a 12, and I
don't mean to alarm you,
but we may have been
exposed to some meningitis
and we probably shouldn't
have visitors right now.
Well, I'll keep my distance, then.
But I need to see Crystal.
Do you need help with something?
- Oh
- A neurovascular deficit
warrants immediate reduction.
Minimizing time to reduction
is critical to prevent
avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
(PHONE RINGS)
If the hip is reduced within six hours,
incidence of AVM drops significantly.
So, uh, there are five accepted
techniques for hip reduction.
(CONTINUES IN BACKGROUND)
Hey, what's wrong? Are you
experiencing meningitis symptoms?
It's this damn tooth again, Crissy.
Tansi Pierre, what are
you doing at the crew house?
He's waiting for you. I told
him you had a clinical but
Pierre's been having problems
with that tooth for ages,
but he refuses to go to the dentist.
He's in a lot of pain. I
think he's got a fever,
- but he won't even let me check.
- Crap, it sounds like
it finally needs to be pulled.
But what if he won't go to a dentist?
(DR. PAUL): And now for
the Bigelow maneuver.
I need a volunteer.
- (STUDENT): I will.
- Oh, uh, I gotta go.
Um, I'll call in a
prescription for antibiotics
to get him started, but
make sure he stays there
until I can drag him to the dentist.
- No, Crystal, we're in a quar

(DR. PAUL): Traction
aligned with the femur.
Crap.
What now?
Well, I guess we
find you some ibuprofen,
sit tight, and wait for someone
to pick up your prescription.
(SIGHS)
And it's just that easy.
So, I'll expect each of
you to be able to give
a practical demonstration of
each of the five techniques
- first thing tomorrow morning.
- (STUDENT): Okay.
(NERVOUS MUSIC)
(NURSE): Dr. Paul,
the lab reports are in.
- (DR. PAUL): Great, thanks.
- Hayley?
Oh, hey hospital buddy.
TCH is low on staff and
I needed extra cash, so
Oh, and before I forget,
Stef just dropped off
your textbook. It's in my
bag at the nurses' station
and there's a patient in bay
2 who requested you personally.
Okay, but what about your
oncologist? Is everything okay?
I'm fine. It's not cancer.
Yeah, but the false positive.
It was a corpus luteum
cyst. It can happen sometimes,
but it's not a big deal. It
should resolve on its own.
They do wanna keep
monitoring me, though.
My oncologist referred
me to a specialist
for precautionary measures.
Well, what kind of
precautionary measures?
- (EMT): Incoming.
- (DR. PAUL): Look alive, folks.
We just heard there's a fire at
Lesarge Lumber Mill outside of town.
Thompson FD is working to contain it.
So far, no casualties,
but we can expect burns
and lots of inhalation. Ms.
Roberts, this one's for you.
This doesn't look fire related.
It's not. June's been dealing
with gestational diabetes,
toxemia, and, and little Sloan here
arrived three weeks early.
She needs to be monitored
until I can connect with
her specialist in Winnipeg.
But L&D is closed today.
Can you keep an eye on her down here?
Just park me anywhere.
I'm so tired, I'm already sleeping.
Well, we can do better than that.
Let's find you a nice, quiet room.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR)
- Hello?
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(DANI): Come on, you stupid
thing. Ugh! Ouch, damn it!
(STEF): Hey, you need help?
Uh, thanks.
I'm still getting used
to this dumb thing.
Uh, new wheels, huh?
I don't remember it,
but apparently I crashed
the last car I drove, too,
so definitely not a great driver.
Heh.
I'm starving and the food
up here is super cringe.
But I heard there's a
cafeteria downstairs,
so I was trying to get there, but
- Uh yeah, I'll take you.
- Really?
Yeah, I'm just killing
time waiting on test results
- for a friend, so
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
- I'm Dani, by the way.
Um, Mel.
Y-You know, the food
in here is super cringe.
- (DANI CHUCKLES)
- But if you feel like
making a quick jailbreak,
I know a good place.
Yeah.
I'll have the grilled chicken, no sauce,
and steamed veggies.
- Um
- Actually, I'll have
onion rings and chocolate cake.
Sounds good. Uh,
cake for me too, please.
(ALARM BEEPS)
Crap, it's time for my pills.
Uh, they're in my
backpack. Can you maybe
Yeah.
What? Top athlete award?
- (CHUCKLES)
- Yeah, um, I'm a dancer.
Was a dancer.
Had a scholarship and everything.
It was graduation last
night, but I missed it. So
Anyway, that's why I can
order onion rings now,
since I'm not training anymore.
I wasn't looking for the
cafeteria when you found me.
I was trying to find
somewhere to get rid of it.
Burn it, maybe.
Dani, wait, why?
Because it's a joke now.
I'm never gonna dance again.
I'll be lucky if I can walk again.
Look, I know things
are tough right now but
no offense, because
you're being really nice,
but you don't know what it's like.
Dancing was my life.
And if I knew I was gonna lose that
I almost rather they
just left me in that car.
(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)
Um
You know, I wasn't much
older than you when I lost
someone really special to me.
Trying to pick myself
up after that was
It was really hard.
But I'm glad that I did,
because eventually,
found someone new.
Someone great.
And I didn't see her coming.
But if I had given up when
things were at their worst,
I might have missed
out on the very best.
And what if there isn't any more best?
That award
Tells me that you don't settle.
You work hard for what you want.
Someone like that will always have
more bests ahead of them.
(SIGHS)
Maybe you're right.
These onion rings are pretty great.
See? Good things are coming already.
Sorry to keep you waiting.

- Frieda?
Hey, little cuz. Long time, long time.
Hey, good to see you.
Oh, your cholesterol isn't
acting up again, is it?
I thought we had that under control
- with the teas Kookoo showed us?
- No, no, they're still working.
I just need to renew my prescription.
And you haven't been back up
to North House since Jeremy's burial.
Everyone misses seeing you around, kid.
Yeah, I've just been
really busy with med school
and trying to graduate
before I'm a kookum.
I have your stuff.
My stuff?
Isabelle was working
on them when she passed.
It's only right you should
be the one to finish them.
(EMOTIONAL MUSIC)
Apiscimakesisis.
Kookoo was making these for Jeremy.
All the more reason
it should be you, Crys.
Um
Well, since you're here, we
should check your bloodwork.

- I'm just gonna go do that.
- Okay.

Whole wheat, PB, and cheese.
Your comfort food.
Look, I'm sorry we never
got around to ordering pizza.
Hey, I wasn't gonna take it.
I wasn't gonna go to Sick Kids.
Why not?
Isn't that what you
just got mad at me for,
not taking the Birch Wing air job
and not telling you
about it? Boy, Tristan,
you are sending some
real mixed signals here,
but I guess I should
just get used to it, huh?
- What does that mean?
- I'm always the asshole.
Nowak is so suspicious.
Nowak doesn't trust anybody.
But this, this shit, this
keeping secrets from me
and not telling me.
Are you blaming me for you cheating?
No, I just
I screwed up, but this is why
it's hard to trust you sometimes.
Just because I'm the idiot who cheated,
doesn't mean we both
haven't made mistakes here.
I know I need to earn your
trust back and I want to do it,
but how am I supposed to trust you
when you're still
keeping secrets from me?
(SIGHS) Tristan, what are we doing here?
How are we supposed to get past this
when we both keep making
the same goddamn mistakes?
(PIERRE MOANS)
Pierre?
My tooth.
Jesus Christ, you're burning up.
Okay, we can't wait for Crystal.
We need to get some antibiotics
- in you and get that tooth out.
- No. No dentist.
- This is an emergency.
- When I was a kid,
he wasn't even a real dentist.
He just had a chair in the
back of a taxidermy shop.
He had to drill, but
there was no freezing.
(PANTING)
I'm not going through that again.
You can't just ignore
it and hope it goes away.
I'll wait for Crystal. I trust her.
Listen, I'll get you
some Tylenol for the fever
and some ibuprofen for the pain.
And if you still won't see a dentist,
I'll pull the tooth.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
Oh, of course it's a molar.
The morphine should help.
I'm gonna have to pull
hard, but it's gonna be
tough to get leverage.
Okay, ready Pierre? Open up.
(NERVOUS MUSIC)

Okay, ready?

What happened?
We were really stuck
with that cement glue.
When they separated us,
there was a lot of blood
and you passed out and hit your head.

- Wait, what time is it?
- Wait, where's my phone?
- Don't worry,
I called your work and told
them you were in the hospital.
I didn't give any details
or anything like that.

I know last night wasn't the

Babe, I thought you were
on a long haul to Florida? Oh.
Hey. As soon as I
heard you might be hurt,

I'm sorry.
You all right, babe?
I need to work on my trust issues.
How are you feeling?
Toxemia usually resolves
within the first 48 hours
of delivery, but your
pressure is still high.
Labetalol should help bring it down.
I'll monitor your sugars overnight,
and then we'll medevac you to Winnipeg
first thing in the morning
to see your specialist.
Have you been able to sleep?
Every time I put Sloan down, he cries.
Well, is there somebody that I can call
- to help you out with the baby?
- That would be great,
but I'm doing this solo.
And my mom passed away
a few years ago, so
I'm sorry.
I've got this awful headache.
Let me get you something.
You'd think as a biologist,
I'd understand the risks
of geriatric pregnancy,
but we always think
we'll be the one to buck the statistics.
How naïve was I to think the
IVF was gonna be the worst part?
How was IVF?
A friend of mine has a
complicated medical situation
and her doctor suggested that she freeze
her healthy eggs now, but it's a lot.
The cost, the injections, and
She isn't even sure
if she wants a family.
Yeah, I was always worried
about getting it right too,
you know? Especially with
something as big as a kid.
Is now the right time? Am I ready?
And eventually, you kind
of realize there's never
going to be a right time.
And you can run out of time
waiting for the right time.
Do you mind just putting
him in the bassinet?
Actually, do you want
me to just take him?
It's a quiet night. I'm
just gonna be at my desk.
Maybe just for a little nap?
(TENDER MUSIC)
Psst!
Hello?
Psst!
(ECHOES): Lady, up here!
Little help, please?
(STRANGE MUSIC BUILDING)
Are you sure he can help?
(HAYLEY): Don't worry,
this guy's really good.
Whoa, I didn't think
you were supposed to make
any big commitments your
first year of sobriety?
He or she is pretty stinkin' cute.
I'm just holding him
so his mom can sleep.
- What are you doing here?
- You called for a pilot.
- I called for Chopper.
- Okay, well Chopper got a page,
but we're both pilots.
Whatever he can do, I can do.
(BLAINE): Great, the backup squad.
(CURIOUS MUSIC)
Hey, how are ya?
Yeah, that's a Chopper special.
(WHEEZER GRUNTS)
How ya doin', buddy?
Not great.
Yeah, you're pretty stuck, aren't you?
How in the hell did you get up here?
It's a long and humiliating story.
- Are you naked?
- I said it was humiliating.
Uh-huh. Yeah, he's stuck.
Oh, sorry. Uh, I'm not
sure how we're gonna get him
outta there without
cutting through the ducts.
The fire department's busy
with the fire at the mill
and maintenance is gone for the night.
We can't just leave him up there.
His skin's sticking to the sides.
Maybe if we lubed him up.
(BLAINE): Uh-uh, no lube.
That's how I got in this mess.
I think Wheezer's right, Blaine.
I don't think we're
getting you outta there
unless we can slide you out.
I'll get the lube.
- (WHEEZER GRUNTS)
- Great, more lube.
(LUBRICANT SQUELCHES)
Just cover as much skin as possible.
Everywhere it contacts the metal.
- All right.
- Wait, what do you fly?
I wanna make sure you're a real pilot.
Well, I fly a lot of
things but uh, right now,
I'm captain of a King Air 200.
- Acceptable.
- Damn right it is.
So, how did you get into these vents?
- (SIGHS)
- Yeah, I really thought she was the one.
I've loved Carrie since high school.
But she's like an F-18, you know?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. She's gotta be free to fly.
Yeah, and I've always known that.
Unlike those losers
she kept leaving me for.
But you know, I always
let her do her thing
knowing eventually,
she'd come back to me.
Then we got glued to each
other and her husband showed up.
I'm sorry, her husband?
Yeah. It was a shock to me, too.
But now I know, Carrie's not an F-18,
- she's a 737 max.
- Bruh.
And I just really thought if I waited
and gave her what she needed,
she'd realize I was the one.
But instead, I realized
I'm just her backup.
All those years thinking
about Carrie and her needs.
Should have been thinking
about what I needed.
(TENDER MUSIC PLAYS BRIEFLY)
Yeah.
All right, um, we're ready.
- Okay, careful with his spine.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
- All right, bud, here we go.
(WHEEZER GRUNTING)
Oh yeah, here we go. Uh,
I think I got the head.
Okay, uh delivering
shoulders is the hardest part.
- (GROANS)
- I got him. I got him.
Whoa, whoa!
(GROANING)
(PANTING)
Congratulations, it's a boy.
(LAUGHS)
You know, I can't decide
if getting hit by a bloody
naked guy or a lubed
up naked guy was worse.
Thank you for helping out tonight.
Oh, it was fun, actually. I
don't wanna call it a date.
I mean, I know we're not
Well, we're not calling
anything a date but, um,
yeah, it's just, it's been a while
since we just hung out, you know?
I've been busy.
You okay? Is it your program? Because
No. Nothing you need to worry about.
Well, it doesn't mean I'm
not gonna worry about it.
Look, I know you
You don't wanna put
a label on this, but
I still care about you,
Hayley, and I don't know
if I can do whatever this is and
Not care about you.
Wheezer, I just have
a lot going on right now.
I want you to look after yourself.
(SOMBER MUSIC)
But I gotta look after me, too.
Crystal?
Hayley, what is this?
It's hormones.
I don't have ovarian cancer yet,
but my oncologist thinks
it's likely I will one day.
Are these the precautionary measures?
He referred me to a fertility specialist
who recommended (INHALES)
if I ever want kids one day,
I should freeze my healthy eggs now.
Oh, Hayley.
I'm the same age my
mom was when she had me.
She died when I was 13.
I just realized that
I do wanna have a family.
Someday.
But what if I end up getting sick,
and I leave them, like my mom left us?
Come here.
(TJ): So, what's in like in the future?
You have flying cars yet?
We're not in the future.
We're in Australia.
Yeah, you are, it's Thursday here
and it's Friday there.
You're a whole day ahead.
Oh, you need to get dressed, kiddo.
It's almost time for karate.
I wanted to do hockey like you,
but Mom's making me do karate.
She says there's too much equipment.
Yeah, but you know what?
All superheroes know karate.
Why don't you go be good for
mommy and get dressed, okay?
I got the money you sent.
You don't have to do that,
TJ. I don't expect it.
Let me do some research online.
See if I could find a deal on
used hockey gear in Melbourne.
Thanks, TJ. It means a lot.
To both of us.
All good.
Talk to you later. Tell Jude I said bye.
(CALL BEEPS OFF)
(SIGHS)
(BELL ON DOOR JINGLES)
Hey, TJ. Can I get a black coffee?
Uh, it's a bit late for coffee, no?
I haven't slept and I'm getting tested
on hip reductions tomorrow,
and I missed the demonstration.
Yeah, but coffee's no
good for a clear head.
It's late. I'll make you a mint tea.
(CHUCKLES) That's what
my kookum used to say.
Well, she'd love
what I'm gonna say next.
What have you eaten all day?
Mm-hmm, see?
A mint tea and an everything
bagel with cream cheese, coming up.
Thanks.
(TJ HUMMING SOFTLY)
You know, med school
looks a lot like senior yoga.
My mom did that same move.
I need to be able
to do these reductions,
but it's hard when, when you
can't practice on someone.
Say less. You need a body?
It's dead in here and uh,
that doesn't look like
that, I'm just sayin'.
Okay, supine position,
exactly like this.
I'll be using a combination
of inline traction
and external rotation to reduce
this anterior dislocation.
But it won't hurt. I just need to
Does that feel secure?
Hmm. Good to go.
Okay, great.
I'm gonna raise your leg
up on the table like this
and then I need to get my leg under you.
I'll be gentle, okay?
(TJ GRUNTS SOFTLY)
- Did I hurt you?
- No, I'm fine.
Okay.
(CHUCKLING)
What, are you ticklish?
Nah, there's uh, something
in my back on the table.
Oh, well, why didn't you tell me?
- 'Cause you were so serious.
- Oh, well, hey.
I didn't wanna stop you.
Come here.
- You were on a fork.
- (BOTH LAUGH)
Well, hey, my hip feels great, Doc.
- Good. Did my job.
- You healed me.
(SNORTS)
(PAGER BEEPING)
I'll take that.
(TENDER MUSIC)
You okay?
Um, yeah, I just forgot
I have a schedevac tonight.
Okay, no worries. I'll
uh, get you a to-go cup.
(SIGHS)
So, hey, I was thinking we
(AIRPLANE ROARS)
(GRACE WINCES)
You okay, Grace?
My legs feel numb.
And the dizziness is getting worse.
I'll get you some
dimenhydrinate for the nausea.
Hopefully your neurologist can
help until this flare passes.
After two decades of living
with this disease, trust me,
MS never passes.
Sometimes it flares up.
Sometimes it's so quiet,
it tricks you into thinking you're okay.
But it's always there.
Never goes away.
And it never gets easier.
You just learn to live with it.
How?
That's all you can do, isn't it?
Live each day as it comes.
One at a time.
The only way out is through.
(EMOTIONAL MUSIC)
(MONITOR BEEPING RHYTHMICALLY)
How we doin', mama?
My head's killing me
and there's this pain in my chest.
Your blood pressure hasn't
gone down, it's gone up.
We can't wait until morning.
I have to call Dr. Paul
- to schedule a medevac.
- (BEEPING QUICKENS)
It's a seizure.
(ALARMS BLARING)
I need to get you on a plane.
(WHEEZER): Thanks for stepping in.
All my pilots are either
quarantined or dutied out.
And I know that you're captain now,
but I didn't have anyone
else to fly right seat.
It's all good, Cap. I'm
still right seat qualified,
and uh, happy to help.
Especially with a patient this urgent.
This isn't just a headache, is it?
Your pressure keeps going up.
160 over 110 is high,
but we're almost there.
My chest still really hurts.
You're tachycardic.
- How much longer?
- Starting our descent in 10.
We're almost there. Do
you want me to take Sloan?
He's the only thing keeping my heart
from beating outside my chest.
A lot of people said I was
crazy for doing this alone,
but I've always been so healthy.
It never occurred to me to
worry about something like this.
And now, I'm not even worried for me.
I'm worried of what happens to him.
We're almost there, okay?
I'm just so glad I got to meet him.
That I got to have
this moment, at least.
(BEEPING QUICKENS)
- She's in V-tach.
- (SLOAN CRYING)
She's got a pulse. I need to cardiovert.
- What's our ETA?
- Beginning our descent now.
(GEAR CLUNKS)
Shit. The elevator's jammed. Shit!
- You think the cable snapped?
- I need one of you to take the baby.
- I have to cardiovert.
- We can't help.
We have a, uh, flight control problem.
Lexi and Nowak flagged the
elevator for stiffness this morning.
Shit. Okay. Hang on, June.
Hang on, hang on. Hang on.
Okay, charging, 100 joules.
We have to ride the power.
Control the pitch that way.
Wheezer, if we don't do
this exactly right, we
I know, we're gonna be
coming in fast with no trim.
We've gotta land gears down, flaps up.
Hayley, strap in. It's
gonna be a hard landing.
I can't. The patient
needs cardioversion.
Call it. Call mayday.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Hey, the last time I
came in long and fast,
I broke my back and I
was lucky, so call it!
Mayday, mayday, mayday. Winnipeg Centre,
this is SkyMed 922. We have
a flight control problem.
We need a long runway into wind.
We have a jammed elevator and we
are coming in fast with no flaps.
(DISPATCH): SkyMed 922,
you are cleared a visual
- approach to any runway.
- 18's the longest.
Emergency vehicles are rolling.
- (LIFEPAK CHARGES)
- Clear.
(JOLTS)
Shit. Charging.
Winnipeg Center, we're
gonna need an ambulance.
There's a medical emergency on board.
Yeah, we might need one for us, too.
- Clear.
- (JOLTS)
- (SLOAN CRYING)
- Come on, June,
don't you dare leave Sloan. You hear me?
You're a mom now. He needs you. Clear.
Shit. Charging 200 joules.
Hayley, strap in, we're coming in hard.
I can't. The patient!
(AIRPLANE ROARS)
(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)
(MONITOR BEEPING RHYTHMICALLY)
- (SLOAN CRYING)
- (WHEEZER): Hayley, are you okay?
I got him.
(CHOPPER): What about the mother?
I got her. I got her.
Her rhythm's normal. She's okay.
I got you. I got you.
Oh, it's okay, June. I've got you.
I've got both of you.
I got her! I got her.
I got you.
(EMOTIONAL MUSIC)
(HEROIC MUSIC)
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(INHALES AND EXHALES DEEPLY)
(TRISTAN): Pierre's doing a
lot better with that tooth out
and Marianne's got the bloodwork back.
Sonia has viral meningitis,
which is nowhere near as contagious
as its bacterial form.
And since none of us have any
symptoms, we're in the clear.
I wanna do the program
at Sick Kids, but
I feel like I owe you since you
gave up your dream job at Birch Wing.
Becoming chief pilot at Birch
Wing is not my dream job.
My dream is to fly for Air Canada.
But then, why have you never applied?
- You have enough hours.
- I thought about it,
but then we happened.
I think you're right.
I don't think we can move forward
if we're always keeping score or
blaming each other for our choices.
So, where does that leave us?
I think it leaves us
in the place where maybe
we learn to let go of
the stuff that hurts us?
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
Like a clean slate?
I think, instead of looking for reasons
not to trust each other,
we should start from trust.
Instead of waiting for one
another to screw up again,
maybe we just learn to trust
each other enough to move on?
You don't need to hide stuff
from me, Tris. I can handle it.
And I want you to have
the things that you want.
I think you'd be great in pediatrics.
And I think there's a
big difference between me
moving to another province
to become chief pilot
and you going away for
a few months to train.
And if we're gonna do this,
give each other a fresh start,
- I think you need to go.
- To Toronto?
Are you okay with that?
I think this is how we
give each other a clean slate.
You go and I trust
you while you're gone.
We both trust each other
enough to handle this.
You need to apply to
Air Canada too, Milosz.
You work so hard and you
deserve to take your shot.
And maybe if we trust each other enough,
if you get it,
we'll figure it out together.
So, we doing this?
Yeah.
We're doing this together.
I don't know if I can go
into a vent for a patient.
Maybe for you, but getting stuck
up there like that. Nah, fam.
No, I'd take a small space
over a control failure any day.
I didn't even know anything
like that could happen.
Yeah, it's rare, but Wheezer
and Chopper kept their cool.
That's why we have sops to fall back on,
in case something out
of the norm happens.
We know what to do.
- That's why I'm such a stickler.
- (STEF CHUCKLES)
I
I know you questioned me
about not wanting to land in Winnipeg
with the patient with the,
you know, the leg trauma.
But the thing is,
girlfriend Stef gets to
see all of girlfriend Lexi's
self-doubt behind the scenes.
But when we're at work,
and you're medic Stef
and I'm pilot Lexi
I need you to be able
to put all that aside
and trust me as a professional
to make the right decisions.
I need you to believe in me.
Okay, look, I'm sorry
I let it get personal
in front of the cameras, but Lex,
you still look like a great pilot.
It's not about how it looked
or me needing to be the perfect pilot.
It's about not letting
our personal relationship
get in the way of the job.
Hey. Look.
(CLEARS THROAT)
I love you, Stef,
and I love working with you.
But isn't that what
you're always saying?
Don't let the job get personal.
(PHONE BUZZES)
-
- Who's texting, Wheezer?
-
- Uh, no one. It's just a report
on our schedevac patient.
Look, Lex, I do believe in you,
okay? And I promise I'm not
letting the job get personal.
(EXHALES)
- (SIGHS)
- Okay, medic Stef,
- I'm gonna go flash up.
- Mm-hmm.
See you out there.
(MESSAGE BLOOPS)
(GENTLE POIGNANT MUSIC)
(CRYSTAL): They say
time heals all wounds.
Even the ones that feel like
they'll never get better
and never go away.
But we just have to keep going,
one day at a time.
That's all we can do.
Endure every painful second.
Because the only way out is through.
