Code Black (2015) s03e07 Episode Script

1 That's disgusting.
- You want a cup? - Yes.
I scheduled those tests for you today.
Just a routine physical.
I'm staying here to sell your brother's house not to be poked and prodded at your hospital.
My ride is here.
Try to be nice.
He's just a resident who's going through a tough time.
- What kind of "tough time"? - Lost his confidence.
Just needs someone to believe in him.
So be nice.
Come in.
Hey, Dr.
Willis.
Rox is waiting in the rig.
You're the kid with no confidence? Uh, Dr.
Dixon, meet my father, Colonel Martin Willis.
Nice to meet you.
Why don't you have any confidence? Uh, oh, well, I-I don't know if I'd, um I got sued.
And that was You're the first doctor to get sued? Dad, don't need your help on this.
Your problem is all the coddling you're getting.
Someone has to teach you to stand your ground.
- Sir? - If you were my soldier, I'd make you drop and give me 50.
In fact, drop and give me 50.
Don't have to do that.
You don't have to do anything but pay taxes and die.
But can you? Do you at least have the confidence for that? He's not gonna drop and give you Hey, you were late today.
My pipes burst and everything I own is swimming in two inches of water.
Rorish was not impressed.
Let me guess, your problems belong on your own time.
- Almost verbatim.
- What are you gonna do? I'm gonna have to move out.
You can crash with me if you want.
- Uh - Dr.
Kean, with me.
What do you got? 16-year-old female found alone at the mall seizing.
Benzos administered en route, no change.
- How long has she been seizing? - 10 minutes.
Let's get her to center stage.
Settle it down! My team, over here! Thought they said this was some kind of dance contest.
- Yeah.
- We won.
Get used to it.
- You think you earned that? - Juanita?! Now! And they're fighting over the trophy? - This rivalry runs deep.
- How do you know that? Roxanne Valenzuela? - Oh, my God.
It is you.
- Um, yeah.
Paramedic.
Good for you, Rox.
My injured dancers are up here.
Everybody, settle it down! East Compton girls, sit down now! - Okay, tell me what's going on.
- What happened? We were doing our pyramid finale when the bottom gave out.
You mean you gave out? You totally just ruined my life.
- Knock it off, Vanessa.
- But it's her fault, Coach Mia.
South Oakland won the trophy because we fell flat.
I told you.
The floor was wet.
Listen to Rox, okay? She's got you.
All right, ladies All right, we need you to keep your leg still.
We're gonna splint it.
Another 2 milligrams of ativan, please.
Is the fosphenytoin in? Infusion's almost done.
She's been seizing for 15 minutes.
Okay.
How's that line coming, Mama? I got it.
It's almost in.
- Got it.
Okay.
- What's next, Dr.
Kean? Keppra load.
3 grams.
She's bleeding.
Hold on.
This girl has just had a baby.
Okay, this is eclampsia.
- What's the treatment, Dr.
Kean? - But she already delivered.
I didn't ask for commentary.
- I said, what's the treatment? - Uh - Magnesium.
4 grams.
- On it.
Let's go.
Right away.
Pushing it Okay.
Good.
Get labs and a pelvic ultrasound now.
My baby.
- What did you say? - My baby.
My baby.
Where is your baby, sweetheart? I don't know.
- You're gonna need some staples.
- Is it gonna hurt? - Not too bad.
You ready? - No.
- You said not bad.
- Sorry.
You work out a lot, huh? Yeah, you think you're strong enough to lift me in the air? Oh, uh, I don't know.
He's strong enough.
He's Hercules.
Mm-hmm.
Hercules, Hercules, Hercules, Hercules, Hercules, Hercules - Excuse me.
- Hercules! Excuse me! - It's Dr.
Hercules, ladies.
- Oh.
Hey.
Keep your eye on the ball, Tiger Beat.
Positive anterior drawer test.
A what? What does that mean? Means you won't be dancing for a while.
What? How long? We'll start with an x-ray.
But, uh, it looks like you have a torn ACL.
You'll need surgery to repair it, some physical therapy, but you should regain most of your function in about six months.
No.
No, you have to fix it now.
I'm trying to get a dance scholarship, okay? If I can't dance, it means I'm stuck here forever.
I'm so sorry, Vanessa.
Yeah, you should be.
This is all your fault.
I mean, girl, bottom of the pyramid is supposed to be the easiest part.
Yeah, all you had to do was hold still.
It doesn't matter for you, Toya, does it? You got your parents paying for your college.
- What the hell am I supposed to do? - I'm sorry! Hey, hey, knock it the hell off, all of you.
Thank you.
Natalie.
Oh, Natalie, sweetheart.
What was she even doing out? She was supposed to be home.
I-I'm her mother.
I'm Dr.
Leanne Rorish.
Do you know where the baby is? Oh, the baby's fine.
Fine where? I dropped her off at a Safe Surrender site.
- What Safe Surrender site? - The fire station in Brentwood.
Please call Firehouse Brentwood.
I need a medical status on the baby right away.
It's what we agreed.
Natalie didn't agree.
She's asking for her child.
Natalie is 16.
She's not ready to be a mother.
I only found out she was pregnant a month ago.
She kept it secret from everyone, but we handled it.
She gave birth at home to ensure her privacy and then we gave the baby up for adoption.
It's what was best for all involved.
Did she even see a doctor? I hired the same midwife as Demi Moore.
I assure you she had excellent medical care.
There were no complications until today.
Is she all right? Can I take her home? We need to wait for her test results.
She'll be with us at least overnight.
We'll leave you two alone for a while.
Dr.
Kean.
Mm.
What's wrong with you today? - What do you mean? - If this is about Uh, the two of us almost dying in a forest fire? And spooning in an aluminum burrito.
Spooning? I don't think that was spooning.
Eee, professionally spooning.
Do we have to talk about everything? Not everything.
- You made it.
- Wonders never cease.
Can we get this over with? - I'll get you started with a blood test.
- Sounds good.
I can draw your blood, sir.
Thank you, but I thought I'd see that kid from this morning.
Leave him alone.
He's with a patient.
I can wait.
Not like I have anywhere else to be.
The x-rays show your knee has deteriorated over time.
Have you had any pain recently? I mean, I guess it's been hurting.
I've been working really hard.
You should've told me, Vanessa.
What about the needle marks? How hard you push these girls, huh? You give them cortisone injections? No, of course not.
Then why does she have needle marks? You gonna let him talk to me like that? Actually, I'm wondering the same thing.
It's a good question.
Guy on the football team hooked me up.
It's caused severe joint and cartilage damage.
That's why your ACL tore in the fall.
Damn it, Vanessa.
You know the rules.
You stay clean.
You stay out of trouble.
Coach, you know I need that scholarship.
I need to get out.
This this can't be it for me.
No! Don't make excuses.
You put yourself here.
Get that camera out of my face! I'll be back in a while with your surgeon.
What is the most feared complication of a parathyroidectomy? Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve causing true vocal cord paralysis.
- Good.
- So, um, I meant to ask you, did you ever get a chance to talk to Felicia? Dr.
Leighton, do you have any other patients to present? Um, no.
Asking about his ex? You're acting like it's the morning after.
What? I mean, we had drink together.
We shared personal stuff.
We bonded.
Totally acting like it's the morning after.
Stop trying to be bros.
This is a hospital, not a frat house.
Says the person dating his coworker.
I think I asked her to move in with me.
You think? What do you mean? Her place is flooded.
I told her she could crash at mine.
She didn't really answer.
- 'Cause you didn't really ask.
- I just told you.
Dude, "crash" means stay, but temporarily and noncommittally.
She doesn't know it's a serious offer.
I need a doctor over here! - Okay.
Okay.
- I-I can't feel my arm.
All right, let's have a look here.
She's got a weak pulse.
This cast is too tight.
I-I checked it after and it was fine.
Maybe the swelling got worse.
- I I'm so dizzy.
- Hey, just calm down.
She's out.
So your job is somewhere between a flight attendant and a maid.
Yeah, and next I have to file stuff.
It's actually the exact opposite of fun.
Do you wanna catch a flight to Vegas? That's what I'm talking about.
Or we could just go to my school dance.
Dance.
Yeah, it's dumb, right? Like, fancy dresses and punch.
I don't look good in dresses.
So wear a tux.
Thought you said it was dumb.
It is, but we can just sit in the corner and laugh at everyone.
We don't have to get all dressed up to sit and laugh.
Don't you wanna do something? I mean, it's not Vegas, but it's not the hospital.
- Maybe it would be fun.
- Now you're being needy.
- Needy? What's your problem? - It's not a good look.
Are you being serious right now? When did you become dance girl? Why are you being a douche? If I wanna laugh at people who wanna go to dances, I can do that right here.
Hang a liter of saline to keep her hydrated.
- What's going on over here? - Toya passed out.
- No one just passes out.
- Cast is a little tight.
Did you put on the cast? Yes, I put on the cast, but it was fine.
Okay, she's back.
You took a little nap on us, but you're back.
Hi, Toya.
Do you have a history of panic attacks? No.
Let's order an EKG just to be safe.
- I'll recast.
- No, you won't.
Anything you do from now on, even with a patient that you think is routine has to be done with a senior resident present.
Got it? Yeah.
Doctor? Why don't you go find my father? He's your patient now.
But Dr.
Rorish just said I can't - It's a simple blood draw.
- Pretend I'm your senior resident.
- I'll follow up with you.
- You must really not like him.
Or I really trust you.
Mmm.
- That's nice.
- I'm not giving up on the kid.
Me neither.
He's canceled on me three times already.
Mom.
Oh.
Sorry, the timing of all of this is Inconvenient? - Dr.
Kean.
- Not inconvenient.
Unfortunate.
We're in the middle of a merger.
Three countries, two languages, and zero margin for error.
Well, we've located the baby.
She's been evaluated by a pediatrician, and she's doing fine.
We also have your test results.
You have HELLP Syndrome.
All women experience some post-partum bleeding, but in your case, the pregnancy caused so much stress on your body that your blood's not clotting properly.
And that's why we're doing blood transfusions.
We want to buy your body as much time as we can to repair.
What did I tell you about consequences? Can I see you outside for a minute? I just I need a minute with my daughter first.
That woman is a problem.
I can't believe she gave up her baby.
Well, she wasn't wrong to take it to a Safe Surrender site.
They are there for a reason.
It's wrong if it wasn't Natalie's decision.
Doctor? Dr.
Kean, I'll handle this.
Jennifer, I know this is a lot for you, but getting a patient with HELLP Syndrome to recover is hard enough.
Add depression to the mix, and your daughter's in big trouble.
Mm.
You a shrink, too? Natalie has spent the last nine months of her life growing a tiny human being in her uterus.
Every cell in her body is hardwired to bond with that child.
Then suddenly, it's just taken away? Not taken away.
Given up by her.
- I understand that - No, you don't understand.
I got pregnant when I was her age, and I have spent - Oh.
- my entire life digging myself out of a hole to get where I am.
I want to be clear.
I am just saying, it doesn't help her recovery if she thinks she deserves it.
Your only job is to make sure my daughter lives.
My job is to give her a life.
Let's just stay in our lanes.
Is that clear enough for you? You're right.
She's a problem.
- It's a complete tear of the ACL.
- So you'll operate? No.
Knee immobilizer and crutches.
You can't operate until the swelling goes down.
She has an increased risk of infection.
What if she gets a septic joint? She could lose the leg.
- What?! I'm gonna lose my leg? - No.
You're not.
Yo, careful with the camera, bro.
- Just one second.
- What are you doing? You're scaring her for no reason.
I'm just trying to advocate for my patient.
Have you ever sutured inflamed tissue? No.
Well, it rips through like a knife in butter.
- Fine.
Then aspirate the knee.
- Now you wanna risk infection? You're gonna put her in a brace and let her body handle the swelling naturally.
Then we operate.
She's already here, man.
- Just take her into surgery - Dr.
Leighton made his call.
End of story.
Ow.
How many years of medical school and you can't do a nurse's job? I'm sorry, Mr.
Willis.
Sir.
Colonel.
- Why are you apologizing to me? - Because I'm sorry? You're apologizing because I'm angry with you.
Because I'm making you nervous.
Am I making your job easier? No, I mean, sometimes, you know, finding a vein No, I'm making it harder.
You're the doctor here.
Tell me.
- I'm the doctor.
- Can't hear you.
- I'm the doctor.
- Better.
This is your ground, son.
Stand your ground.
Yes, sir.
Machine only takes coins.
Here you are.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
No, no.
This round's on me.
Have you seen Ariel? She's supposed to be in records.
- I don't know.
- Well, you seem to be with her all the time.
We had a fight.
Who cares? We hang out sometimes.
I don't know why.
Probably just doesn't wanna - hurt the cancer kid.
- Mm.
One thing I know, Ariel doesn't do anything she don't want to.
She doesn't get it.
Well, second thing I know is that Ariel understands a whole lot.
You wanna know the third thing I know? Yeah.
A girl doesn't need to have cancer to get hurt.
Roxanne.
There was an altercation back at the school.
One of my girls stayed behind Juanita.
She got into it with a South Oakland team girl.
- They're saying it's bad.
- Let's roll.
Can I ride with you? You know, that's against regulations, so Dr.
Campbell, I've got a teenage girl with an ACL.
She could use some surgical TLC.
If you look at the chart, you'll see it's a slam dunk for you guys.
Looks like you already had a surgical consult.
Yeah, but that was Angus.
Dr.
Avila, Dr.
Leighton is a surgical resident at this hospital, one that I hand-picked.
So when he refers a patient back down to the E.
D.
, you better believe it's as if I did it myself.
- But if you just look at the - You have wasted enough of my time.
I know how my mom can come off, but she was right.
- I wasn't ready.
- I'm not a parent, but I'm pretty sure no one's ever ready.
Penelope.
That was supposed to be her name.
I don't even know why I picked it.
It's beautiful.
I'm sure she's beautiful, too.
I wouldn't know.
That was part of the arrangement.
My mom didn't want me to get attached.
You didn't get to say goodbye? I didn't even get to say hello.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, Natalie.
I know you've been through a lot, but I need you to try to stay calm, okay? Your blood pressure's dropping.
Natalie? Dr.
Rorish, she's hemorrhaging.
She needs blood now.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Oh, my God.
What is happening? I need a nurse over here, please! This is the third girl from this dance team that we're picking up.
What is that coach doing to these girls? What makes you think it's her fault? Well, when those sailors died on that Destroyer, who got fired? The commander.
Not everything has someone to blame, Ethan.
You can't even look this woman in the eye - and now you're defending her? - It's not about her.
Oh, yeah? What's it about? A girl from South Oakland stomped her.
It's about none of your business, how 'bout that? Wait, you ask me about my life all the time.
- And you like it? - No.
But I tolerate it.
Barely.
I was on Mia's dance team in high school, okay? It wasn't called Step back then.
And she pushed you too hard.
Mia wasn't the problem.
I was the problem.
I liked this better when it was none of your business.
My mother died when I was 15 from ALS.
I'm sorry.
No, I'm just trading.
Now it's your turn.
Mia had one rule stay clean, stay out of trouble, stay out of jail, and you can dance.
I stole her car.
She made it too easy.
She put the keys up in the visor.
Mia kept the cops out of it, but she benched me from the finals.
I said some nasty things to that woman.
Last words I ever said to her.
You could try apologizing.
It's been 20 years.
But to you, it feels like yesterday.
Feels like five minutes ago.
Okay, honey.
Just hang in there.
Here we go.
Deep, deep breaths.
There you go.
She's got a deviated trachea.
Just a few more seconds and you're gonna be breathing, all right? Deep breaths.
There you go.
There you go.
All right.
- It's working.
- For now.
Let's get her to Angels.
Okay, let's go.
Watch your backs, watch your backs.
I thought we were getting Natalie more blood.
She needs to go to the O.
R.
She needs a hysterectomy.
No! She won't be able to have children.
- Dr.
Kean.
- We can keep transfusing.
Her abdomen's distended.
There's probably another source of the bleed.
If we don't remove her uterus, she will bleed out.
- Let's go.
- We can't make this decision for her.
We can't do this to her.
Please.
Don't do this to her.
Dr.
Kean, you need to stand aside.
I know how she'll feel if we do this to her.
It happened to me.
I can't have children.
Our only obligation right now is to save this young girl's life.
Your hysterectomy.
Natalie Boxford.
Prepping her now.
You know I wouldn't presume to dictate surgical care.
Since when? Well, a hysterectomy is the safest course of action, but there might be another source of the bleed.
Mm, you want me to try to find it first.
I want to give her every chance of the best future.
If she dies while I'm looking for a needle in the haystack, she doesn't have a future at all.
Think of all the avenues we'd be removing from her life.
We both have daughters her age, Will.
I'll do my best.
Who left the pot empty? The guy who looks like the Joker.
Diego.
Of course.
Better not let Jesse see you napping on the job.
- Maybe then he'll fire me.
- Unlikely.
How can you just all of a sudden go from being nice to being a total jerk? Excuse me? I didn't say anything.
Not you.
Like, in general.
Like, how can someone just become completely different? Oh.
Is this about that kid? Your friend with cancer? Small hospital.
I mean, what does that say about me if I like this guy who can just all of a sudden become this total ass? This feels like a conversation for Leanne.
No, I don't have to go to her with everything.
I'm not a kid anymore.
I got my period.
I'm, like, a full-on woman now.
- Oh.
- Man up.
You're a doctor.
This really isn't my area.
Have you ever had a fight with your girlfriend? - Yeah.
- Then it is your area.
Just say something smart about guys who are stupid.
Sometimes we're stupid when something scares us.
Let's pull out the light.
Can't see a bleed.
Infuse another PRBC, FFP, and platelets.
- Anything down there? - No.
Mesentery's clear.
There's no more time.
- Prep for hysterectomy.
- Okay.
Wait.
I think I found it.
Right there.
There's a ruptured hematoma on the liver.
- Profuse bleeding.
Bovie.
- Bovie.
- Dr.
Leighton.
- Suction.
More laps.
Ready another transfusion.
More suction.
The field is dry.
Bleeding has stopped.
And BP's holding.
Tell Dr.
Rorish no hysterectomy today.
I can't believe that worked.
Let's close up.
- Dr.
Avila went over your head.
- What? He asked me for a second opinion on your surgical consult.
You're not being respected down there.
Get your house in order.
Hey, Hercules.
Where you going? Checking on my patients.
My shoulders are so sore.
Maybe you could give them a rub.
I'm a doctor, not a masseuse.
Well, lucky for you, I'm a good teacher.
They won't even talk to me.
Not necessarily a bad thing.
I'm just ready for this day to be done and gone.
Look, I wanted to say I'm really sorry about what happened.
I've done hundreds of casts.
- It's cool.
Stuff happens, right? - Yeah.
Some you can forgive and some you can't, I guess.
Hey.
It was an accident.
They're gonna realize that, and when they do, they'll feel dumb.
Hey, are you okay? I'm just tired.
What's going on, Dr.
Dixon? Abnormal cardiac activity.
Am I okay? Looks like it's just ectopy.
It's your heart.
It's fluttering.
Are you sure this has never happened before? - I mean - Hey, Toya, you have to tell me.
Has this been happening for a while? Yes.
A few months, maybe.
I didn't want anyone to know.
I had to be there for my team.
Hey, hey.
She's in v-tach.
- Paddles.
- Oh, my God.
What's happening? Are you serious? I need a doctor over here! Clear.
Oh, my God.
Toya! All right, sinus no, she's back in v-tach.
We need to get her to center stage right now.
- Where are they taking her? - Let's go.
Move her out.
Come on.
- Watch it! - Got to get her in.
All right, watch out.
Coming through.
Come on.
Get her in, get her in.
- What happened? - She was beat up.
- What? - Juanita! Bet it was that shady bitch from the South Oakland team.
- You don't know that.
- Juanita, was it that girl? - She can't hear you.
Step back.
- You know it's her.
Hey, you heard her.
They don't know anything.
You girls get back.
Let them help her.
- All right, sats are dropping.
- She's failing the bipap.
Can I stay with her? Mia, come up with me up there, okay? - Mario, secure the chest tube.
- On it.
Diego, call surgery.
She needs the next O.
R.
Why? So that Angus can come down here and tell us - we're wrong again? - Easy, Doctor.
- Pulse check.
- She's still in v-tach.
Continuing compressions.
Where's that EKG? Mia, look, you see that breathing tube? That's giving Juanita air to breathe, okay? And Toya she's got a young heart muscle.
Young heart muscles bounce back even if the heart's just stopped.
EKG, Jesse.
Let me see that EKG.
What the hell? Biphasic T-waves? Dr.
Dixon, step away from the patient.
- I'll take over compressions.
- I know what this is.
It's Brugada Syndrome.
You cannot be trusted.
Now step away.
Coach.
Coach, you're gonna have to keep your girls outside - in the hallway.
- The coach of the other team.
No.
- Wait, wait, wait! - Hey, hey! Girls, girls, listen.
- You need to get your girls - Don't you think I'm trying? Everybody just calm down! I am right about this.
Dr.
Dixon, this is no longer your patient.
Step away.
Her chest tube's being blocked by a rib shard.
Please, Dr.
Rorish, listen to me.
Look at her EKG.
It's Brugada syndrome.
Willis.
No, no, no, no.
You'll cut yourself.
There's nothing sharper than a broken rib.
All right.
One shot.
Make your case and make it good.
Stand your ground.
Stand your ground.
Type 2 saddle-back pattern.
She has Brugada syndrome.
Now arrhythmias can come and go.
And she lied to us.
She's been passing out for months.
I see it.
What's your next move? Jesse, 150 milligrams of amio.
Right away.
Let's go.
Now all my girls get their asses behind me right now - or everybody's off the team.
- Come on.
Let 'em through.
All right.
Come on now.
Enough.
The girls are wound up.
We didn't come here to fight.
You put one of my girls in the hospital.
That girl that attacked Juanita is in police custody now.
What she did is not us.
Coach, they just came to make things right.
And to make sure that girl's okay.
Is she? We don't know yet.
I need Pleurovac.
Diego.
You a doctor or filmmaker? Pick your poison.
I'm gonna have you push down gently on the chest like a very easy compression.
- Won't that break her ribs? - Doesn't matter if she can't breathe.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
All right.
No pulse.
Still no pulse.
She's in v-tach storm.
- Next move? - All right, Jesse, another 150 of amio, - then we'll start a drip.
- Let's go.
Come on, come on, come on.
Pushing the amio now.
I got pulses back.
Good work, Doctor.
Your patient, Dr.
Dixon.
Okay, little more.
Ah.
Little more.
All right, push.
- Sats are stabilizing.
- We're in.
All right, we've secured the chest tube.
Let's get her up to the O.
R.
You smarmy turd.
You went behind my back and talked to Campbell? - What? - I was perfectly within my rights.
No, this is not a democracy.
I speak for the surgical department and what I say goes.
You don't get any special treatment here.
Your daddy's not here to buy you a pony.
You wanna talk about my daddy? Is that thing on? Every movie needs a bad guy.
He's your first-year.
Get your house in order.
I'll deal with this ass clown, but what was that? "Get your house in order"? - You're starting to sound like Campbell.
- Thank you.
Where's Ariel? Oh, she's on time-out.
She's been huffing around all day.
I think the boyfriend screwed up.
I knew this would happen if they kept seeing each other.
Well, you couldn't have stopped her.
Teenagers have been defying their parents since the beginning of time.
You mean when you were born? - And the angels were singing.
- Those were screams.
Okay, should I say something to her? Believe it or not, some things actually get resolved without your help.
And some things don't.
Thank you, Mama.
Okay.
You were right.
She's gonna be okay.
Mia, I'm sorry.
You must hate me for you know.
Is that what you think? I hate you? Rox, that was a long time ago.
You're not a kid anymore.
And it looks like you've grown up into a fine young woman just like I knew you would.
I never, ever stopped believing in you, Doc.
"Doc.
" You remember.
I remember everything special about you.
I never did it, though.
I never even applied.
I was scared.
Well, you know what I always say.
- It's never too late to believe.
- Never too late to believe.
You remember.
I remember everything special about you.
Everything.
Hey.
- How you feelin'? - I'm good.
Good.
I'm gonna sit you up a little here.
Thank you so much.
I know I seem like an idiot kid, but I really, really wanna have a baby one day.
And you did that for me.
Not an idiot kid.
Just a kid.
You know, the law gives you 14 days to change your mind when you give up a baby.
I was wrong to make this decision for you.
I was I was just trying to protect you.
Your life is gonna be hard no matter what I do.
It's supposed to be beautiful and and amazing.
Just like your daughter.
Yeah.
Hi, Penelope.
She's so tiny and and perfect and kinda squishy.
Whatever you wanna do, honey, I support you.
I'm not ready to be a mom.
But I love her so much.
Can I please pick where she goes? In an open adoption, you can choose the family, and you can receive updates as she grows up.
We can pick the best family for her.
Together.
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
It's okay, Penelope.
It's okay, baby.
Can I hold her? Just for a little longer? Of course, sweetheart.
Of course.
I know I was out of line with this case.
Dr.
Kean, you fought for your patient.
You've given her more than she could've ever hoped for.
There's a moment for every medical student when all of her skills and all of her knowledge and all of her compassion come together.
That's when she truly becomes a doctor.
I'm proud of you.
We want you to have this.
It's yours.
We didn't earn it.
Neither did we.
So what are we gonna do about it? The lobby has a lot of space.

But it's not, Vanessa.
You can be anything you wanna be.
Do you really believe that? Do you know what I believe in more than anything? It's never too late to believe.
For either one of you.

Don't let me off the hook like that.
People are always letting me off the hook because I'm sick.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I should've been honest with you.
The reason I can't go to your school dance is because I get tired at, like, 8:00.
My body hurts all the time.
- I didn't know that.
- 'Cause I didn't tell you.
I didn't want you to know.
I want you to think that I'm cool and fun and normal.
I'm really sorry, Max.
It's not your fault.
I'm still sorry.
Sorry you met me? No way.
First boy I ever loved was my best friend's older brother, Larry.
He didn't even notice me.
Who was yours? You.
- What? - Uh Uh It's true.
You're my first.
Look, Noa, I screwed up.
I know I'm not, like, the best at words.
But I love you.
And I wanna live with you in my apartment, to be clear.
I know it's a big step, but I think we should do it.
Mario I'm not ready.
Oh.
Yeah.
Uh, yeah, totally get it.
It's probably too soon and But I love you, too.
Nothing better than a good cigar at the end of a long day.
That is my line.
You did good with Dr.
Dixon.
Good kid.
Just needed a little ass-kicking.
Your specialty.
Mm.
Here we go.
I was trying to give you a compliment, Dad.
Oh.
There's a grief counseling group here.
I thought we could check it out.
We could.
Or we could just do this every now and then.
