Saving Hope (2012) s05e07 Episode Script
First and Last
1 Gonna give you kisses.
Mwah, mwah, mwah.
Among the many perils of me having time off is increasingly gourmet breakfasts.
Oh, I think we can handle it, huh? I'm just gonna try some.
Mmm.
Want some? What did you put in this omelette? It's amazing.
- Wait till you try the coffee.
- I like jobless Daddy.
He can cook for us all the time.
[chuckles.]
Hey.
Aren't we missing a step? We're gonna do all the steps, it's just planning the honeymoon's always the most fun.
I think we need to hurry in case we want to avoid, um, baby makes four at 30,000 feet.
You're right.
Let's not over-think it.
Let's be spontaneous.
Why don't we go for a drive? And ah, ah we see a place we like, we'll, um, we'll do it this weekend.
You want to get married this weekend? I don't think planning's ever worked for us before, so I think it's time to shake it up.
I know, but there's so much to think about.
I have to write new vows.
I have to get a dress that fits me in this current state.
And I don't think our marriage license is valid, - so I think we - Hey.
I love you.
And we waited long enough.
Let's do this.
Yeah, let's do it.
Let's do it.
Mm.
[siren wails.]
Okay, so most people, when asked to complete sexual history, don't go into such historical detail.
"It all started behind the portables in grade seven.
" I-I'm just trying to provide the whole picture.
A-Anything could be important.
Right, and usually I'd agree.
But this is like a novel, and not the good kind.
The kind where nothing happens, until the chapter about having unprotected sex with a professional last week.
Where's that going? You just close your eyes and think of the portables.
[man screams.]
20 bucks says penile swab.
You're on.
[groans.]
Who bet on swab? Damn it.
Every time.
Never bet against Jackson.
I wouldn't have to if I wasn't so bored.
It's been too slow today.
- Hey.
- Zip it.
No way, I'm not buying into your dumb superstition.
- They're not superstitions.
- They're rules.
Sekara, we live by them.
If you're in a betting mood, how about this? Next patient through the door's gonna be a major pain and it will be all your fault 50 bucks.
All right.
- [coughing.]
- All right.
- Dr.
Miller? - Okay, here we go.
It's just a guy with a cough.
Howdy, sir, what's your name? Randy.
Sorry, I can't stop.
Oh, thank you.
Okay, you just come with me over here.
Hey, uh, guys, is there a do you have a phone? Pay phone? 'Cause I-I'm late for a job interview.
I just got to make a quick call.
Let's first have a seat here, okay? Why don't you just take it easy and breathe for us.
All right.
[breathes deeply.]
Okay, you, uh You don't have a fever, but you're definitely a little bit jaundiced.
Oh, no, that's just, uh, where I live.
No-window basement apartment.
Full of mold.
Okay, well, you need to talk to your landlord about that.
No point now.
They're kicking me out.
I can't manage first and last at a new place.
I'm barely covering the rent as it is.
You know how it is, right? Yeah, why don't you slide down and relax? And we'll run you some tests.
Okay? Put the feet up, it's okay? Yeah.
Please.
[coughs.]
Hey, th-th-the pay phone? Here, use mine.
You can use it.
Thank you.
Yeah, no worries.
Looks like you really need this job pretty bad.
That was nice.
Hi, Mr.
Trottier, Randy Rogen speaking.
Yes.
I know.
Crazy thing, I woke up sick and I just jumped into the hospital real quick.
I'm hoping we can reschedule the interview for I've had some interesting Yes, I understand.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Here, let me grab that for you.
Guess it's not my day.
It's beautiful.
Looks like they're having a wedding.
A wedding, huh? Could be a sign.
No, Charlie, that's a sign.
I mean, how weird is that? Oh, this is cute.
Let's keep it simple.
- Just a few close friends? - Mm-hmm.
And my brothers, if I can get them.
Ooh, can we have croquembouche? Yeah, if you tell me what that is.
It is a French pastry tower.
You can have that if I get a nacho cheese fountain.
It's a deal.
[laughs.]
Have you seen a man in a tux? Uh, yeah.
Yeah, once or twice.
We seem to have lost the groom.
Poor girl.
Apparently this isn't the first time she's been left at the altar.
- Uh, we'll keep an eye out.
- Thanks.
Let's hit the road before things get ugly.
Woman: Foster? Yeah, let's book the space and leave the bride to her special day.
- Let's go.
- Foster? Foster, where are you? Ah! [thud.]
Oh.
I'm a doctor.
My name's Alex.
What's your name? This is so embarrassing.
Please, just help me up.
- What's her name? - Nadine.
Nadine, try to stay still, all right? You had a big fall.
I need to check you out.
Am I bleeding? Don't get blood on the dress, please.
I'm getting married today.
I know you are, and I love the dress.
Thank you.
You are so sweet.
Charlie, you want to check out this leg? Yep.
Hope Zion is expecting her.
Where's Foster? I have to find him.
I Ugh.
He's here, right? We're doing this? You want to try not to think about any of those things right now.
You just try to stay calm and we'll take good care of you.
I can still walk down the aisle, though, right? Hey.
You look elegant today.
Really? Because I have a meeting with producers on that, you know, "doctor thing" show tonight, so it'll be a miracle if any of this elegance actually makes it through the day.
You know, trauma isn't glamorous.
No, I know, but plastics is supposed to be, right? And that's the show.
'Cause apparently an emergency bowel repair can't compete with a feel-good face-lift for a single mom.
- That sounds - Like a step backwards, right? I know, and I haven't taken the job yet, but [sighs.]
trauma, it's thrilling and exciting and exhausting, honestly.
I don't know how much longer I can keep this up.
Well, there's no shame in running away the moment things get difficult.
Thank you for your support, Shahir.
You okay? What's going on with Jonathan? He we You know, I have to break up with him.
No after all the great relationship advice I have given you? Okay, I'm late for rounds.
I'm going to come with you.
Hang on.
I'm still in trauma as of now, and what you're going through qualifies as traumatic.
So where are we going? - I really appreciate this.
- Yeah.
I mean, with Dr.
Reid going on mat.
leave and Dr.
Williams leaving us, we could definitely use an extra gen.
surg.
around here for a while.
Especially one as talented as you.
Well, I plan on drowning my loneliness in work, so hit me with all you got.
Thank you.
Hey, listen.
Uh about everything that went down with Charlie.
Should I be worried? Ah, Jeremy, I don't know.
I mean, he needed a break.
He took it, so that's good.
Do you think it's the kind of break that he's not gonna come back from? Charlie Harris is gonna walk back into an O.
R.
The guy's ego is too big to not swing around a scalpel.
[laughs.]
I think he's gonna wait until his little girl is born - before he does, though.
- I hope so.
And, hey, in the meantime, he's got a wedding to plan.
Ah, they're finally getting married.
Good for them.
Yeah.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Dr.
Scott, what can I do for you? Uh, I wanted to talk about my shifts.
All right.
Well, get in on as many surgeries as you can because I am short-staffed.
It's the opposite, actually.
Never heard a resident say that before.
Does this have something to do with what happened with Dr.
Williams and her patient? No, no, no.
I just, uh, I need a bit of a break.
Because you were defending Cassie and yourself and so you know that if you need to take some time I don't I don't want time.
I want to work.
I just I need a break from the O.
R.
, so if you wouldn't mind maybe putting me on rounds or ICU, anything else? Okay.
See what I can do.
Billy? You're not the only one who has experienced trauma here at this hospital, so if you ever want to talk.
Thanks.
Thank you, Dr.
Bell, but no, I'm fine.
Trying to start a family has been quite stressful on our relationship.
Eating and sleeping is quite difficult, and Jonathan's worse.
He started baking again.
Oof, that's not sustainable.
No, it is not.
I would eat 1,000 quinoa-goji cookies if we could go back to the old us.
Thank you.
But failure to adopt a child has come to symbolize the failure in our relationship.
It's not fair, Dana.
Have you tried telling him this? - I tried.
- Try harder.
It seems like there's always another adoption form or a parenting class, and then when we lose out on yet another kid, it's a disappointment.
Well, my ex and I thought having a baby would bring us closer together, and you know how that story ended.
What are we doing up here? We are monitoring brain activity on our coma patients for a new study.
Well, on the bright side, I guess you're looking at a whole day of "It could be worse.
" [clatter.]
I thought you said these were coma patients.
[rapid beeping.]
They are.
- Liam, you're up.
- What, what, what? What what what happened to me? What happened to me? Well, it looks like you broke your nose when you fell, but, hey, you're awake.
Welcome back! How long's he been in a coma? - Three weeks.
- What happened to my hair? And why do I look so old? Uh, Liam, how old do you think you are? Dude, I just turned 19.
[Dana clears throat.]
Decreased air entry.
You got family? Anyone we can call? No.
Nobody.
- You sure? - Hey, could you write me a note? I got to see if I can get the guy to give me another shot at that interview.
I need this job, or I'll wind up on the street again.
All right, let's not go charging out of here just yet, Mr.
Rogen.
At least wait for your test results.
Hey, don't forget that note.
Thank you! Okay, so, results are back.
He's got a lung infection from the mold no surprise there but he's also he's end-stage liver failure.
Is he a drinker? Tox screen's clear for alcohol.
So, either hepatitis, acetaminophen overdose, suppurative cholangitis? Whatever it is, with results like these, he doesn't have much time.
Well, you two send him up to imaging to confirm, and I'll start on the transplant paperwork and have it ready when you're done.
Can't have a transplant.
What are you talking about? Right, he's been evicted.
No stable housing to convalesce No new liver.
Those are the rules.
Okay, the guy just found out that he's being evicted.
That's not fair.
He's got no family to take him in? He's got no one.
Nadine: The ceremony is in a few hours.
Where is he? Foster, he wouldn't do this to me.
Nadine, why don't you think about good things? Why don't you tell me about how you first met? Okay.
Um uh, yeah.
I was hiking on the West Coast Trail.
A week by myself, and Foster, he just comes walking out of the rainforest all like, "Hello.
" [chuckles.]
So cute.
Honestly, I think I think the moment I saw him, I You just knew? Only he was going the other way and I got his e-mail, but it totally got soaked, and then all I had was this photo that I'd taken.
And I showed it to everybody that I met.
I looked all over for him.
So then, a year later like to the date I'm on a day trip on the Bruce Trail, and just to clear my head, you know? And there he is, again.
That's amazing.
It's the same date, today.
We're supposed to get married.
That's got to be good luck, right? Are you two married? We're working on it.
[laughs.]
If Foster and I are meant to be, then why did why did this happen? [device beeps rapidly.]
Pressure's dropping.
She's going into shock.
Ouch.
Horse-drawn carriage collision or rabid bridesmaid bouquet tackle? Stair fall.
Open tibial fracture, pressure's dropping, could be internal bleeding.
On three one, two, three.
Okay.
Let's cut this dress off she looks like a meringue.
Don't you dare.
Uh, you know what I'll do? I'll I'll just cut it along the seam.
You'll be able to fix it good as new, all right? Did you talk to Foster? Went straight to voicemail, but I'm sure he's trying to find out where you are.
Okay, well, I'm gonna have to get this dress cut off.
So let's do it now, gonna have to run a FAST.
- Knife? - [coughing.]
Mr.
Rogen, where are you going? I got to go.
Thank you.
No, no.
Jackson, get him into bed right now.
And let's get Sekara down here.
We're gonna need an O.
R.
All right, bud.
Okay.
Hang in there.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Remarkable.
Just remarkable.
Okay, so so, where am I? And who who are you? Wh-what did you do to my face? Well, in order Hope Zion Hospital, Dr.
Kinney and Dr.
Hamza, nothing yet, but hold still.
[bones crunch.]
Good as new.
Ow.
Still got it.
Uh, I don't remember.
Uh I was walking to my girlfriend's house, and we were gonna head out and see the Goo Goo Dolls.
When was that exactly? Um, I can see the tickets in my hand.
It was, uh, Au August 30th.
- What year? - 1997.
Oh, my God.
Jenny, my girlfriend, is she okay? Liam, you were involved in an accident bicycling to work.
Three weeks ago, and it's currently the year of our Lord 20 [clears throat.]
2-2000 and what, lady? Lady? 2000 and what? The accident caused a brain hemorrhage, and you went into a coma.
Oh this is a dream.
I am dreaming.
Okay, I'm 19.
It's 1997.
And this is a dream.
Liam, you've just turned 40.
Ow! You need to stop talking.
I what now? You cannot tell him how old he is or what year it is.
Not yet.
But you're going to let this middle-aged buddy think that he is a teenager? We don't want to overwhelm him.
His brain is under too much stress.
I-I need to read up on his imaging a His wife comes every day.
I don't know how he's going to react to her.
- Is her name Jenny? - No.
Well, then, probably not well.
Dr.
Scott! Let's move our patient here off the coma ward.
What's the rush? He just woke up.
Just find him a ward bed.
There's, uh, precedents for this kind of memory loss.
I need to read up on it before I update his wife.
[sighs.]
Hey, I finally got hold of the groom.
- He's, um, on his way.
- Good.
How's her imaging looking? It is bad.
Traumatic aortic injury, and the blood from the tear caused a pseudo-aneurysm.
So, major surgery on her wedding day.
Sounds familiar.
Yeah.
I'm just trying to track down Dr.
Turser so I can brief her on this tibial fracture.
Oh.
Right.
Forgot I don't work here anymore? Me too.
[laughs.]
I did.
Good luck with her.
Charlie, can I talk to you about something? Yeah.
Sure.
Do you think we caused this? Alex, what happened today was happening with or without us.
I miss scientists who believe in curses.
I do understand how crazy it sounds.
It's not crazy.
Who are you talking to? I-I just think that maybe this is our chance to break free of this.
You know, if if we can give Nadine a happy ending, then maybe we Maybe we can get one ourselves.
Forget it.
It's stupid.
It's not stupid if you believe it.
And if you believe it, then maybe you should go in there and fix her.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
There you go, man.
You rest easy.
Thank you, man.
[chuckling.]
That's a huge pager.
[scoffs.]
Yeah, um, is there anything else I can do for you, Liam? Yeah.
You know, I'd really like to talk to my mom and dad.
Arthur and Gail Quinn.
I can't remember their number.
Is it It must be on my chart there.
Um, there's just, you know, there's no number here, so, let me see what I can find out.
And here, this ought to keep you entertained in the meantime.
What is it? What is this? The blood clot caused by his accident caused a 20-year gap in his long-term memory.
But he can get them back, yes? Yes, it's possible in time the brain can rewire itself to circumvent dead brain cells.
Then you should tell him everything and try and trigger it coming back.
No, no.
Not yet.
That's That's too overwhelming.
You avoid difficult conversations.
That's not true.
It's the same with telling Jonathan about how you're feeling.
You can't handle the emotional fallout.
Okay, Dr.
Kinney, this isn't your patient.
This isn't even your office.
The whole reason why you're here is to put off telling Dawn Bell that you can't handle trauma.
That was a low blow, Hamza.
Well, it doesn't matter how complicated our lives are right now.
This young middle-aged man his his problems are worse.
If he can't remember 20 years of his life, then he can't remember that both his parents are dead.
He has to experience that grief all over again.
At least we get to decide whether to put off our problems or to deal with them.
The longer you keep him from knowing, the longer you keep him from coping.
[indistinct P.
A.
announcement.]
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Hi.
You must be Foster.
I'm Dr.
Reid.
I am Nadine's doctor.
I can't believe this is happening to her.
I-I-It's all my fault.
It was an accident.
No, no.
I-I-I didn't leave her.
I wasn't running.
It just It came over me that my vows, they didn't do her justice.
I just wanted some space, some quiet, so I can make them better.
And you didn't tell anybody? Stupid.
I just needed a space so that I could put into words how I feel about her.
You know, no jokes, no cliches, just pbht! My he My heart spilled out, no matter how embarrassing it got.
Please, tell me I'll get a chance to say these things to her.
Oh, I'm going to do a procedure that will stop the internal bleeding, and then we have an orthopedic surgeon that's gonna fix her leg.
Her condition is still very serious.
[breathes heavily.]
Look, I know that this feels like the end of the world, but if you guys can get through this, you will be stronger than ever.
Will you tell her that I'm here? Like, even if she's asleep, tell her.
I will.
I promise, okay? Okay.
[sighs.]
What's happening to him? Liver's not filtering toxins anymore.
They're building up in his brain.
- Take it.
- I don't want your money.
Just take it, please.
Guys, what's up? I'm doing an endoscopic sclerotherapy with Dr.
Bishop to stop the esophageal bleeding.
It should buy us some time.
Get him on the transplant list? Not until his living situation's been resolved.
You can't just get him a liver and work this out afterwards? No.
So, you go work your magic with Bishop.
I have an idea.
[sighs.]
Oh, great.
Thank you very much.
That was very kind of you, Doctor You don't know my name, do you, Dr.
Miller? I know your work, and that's more important.
Thank you, Doctor Taylor! Dr.
Taylor.
So, the sclerotherapy went well.
Esophageal bleeding stopped, but his bilirubin levels are still a nightmare.
- Okay.
- How are we doing on housing? I found a nurse that was renting out a bachelor apartment.
I raised 500 bucks.
I'm just gonna pitch in the rest myself.
So, he's on the list? He's on the list.
Now we just need to find a liver.
Yeah.
I found your number on him.
Listen, um [sighs.]
He's not doing so great right now.
Okay? Bye.
You shouldn't have done that.
I called your son.
You spoke with my son? You said you didn't have any family.
Nobody's coming, right? So I don't have any family.
Do you mind if I ask why? I wasn't very nice to them or anyone.
The big real estate man.
All about the cash, flashing it around.
The sleazy clubs and coke and cars You name it.
Lost everything.
Everyone.
Don't expect them to forgive me.
I just hope I get the chance to prove I can still do good.
Be worth something.
You believe people can change? [scoffs.]
I see the same ODs coming in here night after night.
Same husbands saying their wife walked into a door.
[breathes deeply.]
My dad My dad, he tried to change.
It was too late for him, so I never got to find out if it was for real.
What happened? Liver failure.
Same as you.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
About my wallet.
I wanted you to have the money.
No.
It's You take it.
It's yours.
Just don't let me die alone.
Please.
Hey I got you.
I'll be here for you, or I'll make sure someone else is.
That makes you the best friend I have in the world.
So thanks.
Thank you.
Yeah.
[indistinct P.
A.
announcement.]
Uh, Elyse! Elyse.
Mrs.
Quinn.
Hi.
Dr.
Hamza, I've been looking all over for my husband.
You moved him.
Has he woken up? Yes, he has, but it appears, though, uh, he has lost some of his memory.
I need to see him.
Well, he may not know who you are.
He's my husband.
Um How much memory? - About - 20.
20 years.
We're not certain if the loss is permanent, but to him, it's still 1997.
[laughs.]
Come on.
You're kidding me.
- Elyse.
- Liam! Oh, Liam! Oh, sweetheart.
I am so glad that you're awake.
- Whoa! - Sweetie, I Easy, lady.
Liam, it's Sweetie, it's me.
It's Elyse.
You're, like, what, a friend of my mom's or something? No.
I'm I'm your wife.
[laughs, gasps.]
We're married.
8 1/2 years? We have a house in the Junction.
Two dogs.
I would like to see my parents now, please.
Both of your parents are dead, Liam.
Whoever you are, get get out.
- Okay - Get out! Get out! Uh, Elyse.
Elyse! Is it true what she said about my mom and dad? You know, I am so sorry.
We should have prepared you for this.
We didn't mean for you to find I don't want to talk anymore, okay? No more bad news.
[breathes heavily.]
Can I Could I just get some 3D Doritos and the Pepsi Blue, please? They don't make those anymore.
[sighs.]
All the The future sucks.
Yeah.
Dawn.
Charlie.
Don't worry.
I'm not here to get my job back.
I heard about you and Alex.
Long time coming.
Yeah.
Actually, we were, uh, looking for a place to get married today.
Yes.
I heard about the unlucky bride, too.
So, am I gonna get invited to the wedding? [chuckles.]
Yeah.
Yeah, if, uh, you, um, give Alex a little extra mat.
leave, I'm sure there's something we could work out.
Charlie Harris, we are gonna miss you.
I will.
Me too.
Charlie? After the baby's born, when you're ready to come back, I hope that you'll call me first.
[monitor beeping.]
Alex: Deploring the graft proximally.
So, I hear you and Charlie are getting hitched.
Mazel Tov, Dr.
Reid.
Yeah.
We were just apart for so long, we didn't want to waste any more time.
What about you, Bishop? You seeing anyone special? Have you talked to Dr.
Williams since you moved to New York? I was thinking about dropping her a line.
Or maybe, uh, a visit.
Well, you should.
What? You'll want a date for our wedding.
Memorial has a donor liver, but it's not a match for blood type.
[sighs.]
We're out of time.
He doesn't have a relative that can make a live donation? According to him, all those bridges have been burned.
I'm sorry we can't help him.
At least we can make him more comfortable.
Hey, good news.
I found a live donor for Mr.
Rogen.
How'd you do that? I'm a match.
Jackson.
No.
That is a big surgery, Jackson.
You need to think that through.
Yeah.
I have, and that's my decision, so let's make it happen.
Foster? How is she? The surgery went well.
The stent is in a good position, and she's stable.
Now Dr.
Turser is working on her leg, and she feels confident that in a few months, Nadine will be as good as new.
Okay.
Okay, this is good.
All right.
Is she awake? No.
Not yet, but you're the first face she'll see when she wakes up.
Man, if I hadn't left, this wouldn't have happened.
I mean, it m it meant so much to her, to us, to get married on the day we met.
She's superstitious like that.
I wish I hadn't blown it for her.
Hey.
This got left in the E.
R.
We should put it somewhere safe.
I never got a chance to see her in it.
Maybe it's not too late.
Wait here.
I'll be right back.
- You're not doing this.
- Beg your pardon? Don't even understand why you'd want to.
You don't even know the guy.
Okay, you just paid for his new apartment.
Yeah, a new apartment is not a liver.
Jackson, you're risking infection, long-term intestinal damage, bile leakage.
Dr.
Miller, I'm a grown man.
I can do what I want.
Listen, you've heard a million of these hard-luck stories.
Why this guy? - I talked to his family.
- Okay.
And I get it.
He's a beautiful man, halo on his head, wouldn't hurt a fly.
Nope.
They hate him.
They hate him? Okay, well, now I'm even more confused.
It was the same way with my father.
He drank a lot.
After a while, the whole family just shut him out, including me.
A few later, he comes crawling back, saying he's gonna change.
We all heard it all before.
No one believed him.
No one gave him a second chance.
He got sick.
Died alone.
He was sober.
I'm sorry to hear that.
The guy upstairs is not your father.
Okay, I know.
I just I just feel like I owe somebody a-a debt of faith.
Does everything you do make sense? Okay, fine.
Listen, logic isn't gonna work with you.
How about loyalty? The hospital needs you.
I need you.
Everyone else who works here is an idiot.
Look, I had a bad feeling this morning, and it hasn't gone away, so just give me a break, all right? Don't go through with this.
We're gonna find a liver.
No, we won't.
And that's the point.
Yes.
Thank you.
Well, now Liam wants plastic surgery, so we need to do something pretty Yes.
Yes.
Thank you for the call.
We'll give you our answer by the end of the day.
Bye.
What is it? What's wrong? That was the adoption agency.
They have a little girl in Edmonton who needs a family if we want her.
Oh, Shahir.
[breathes deeply.]
That's wonderful.
I can't do this.
I can't Dana, I can't have a baby to save a relationship when Finish the sentence.
When my heart's not in it.
And are you sure about that? You really don't want to be a father? Or are you just tired of the process? [sighs.]
I don't know anymore.
[sighs.]
What's all this? Those are Liam's personal effects.
- Oh.
- He left them in the coma ward.
I'm going to bring it down to him.
Oh, well, that's very nurturing of you, Shahir.
One might even say "paternal.
" Okay.
Let's get his wife up here.
I have an idea.
I got the consent form for you.
I bet everyone's been trying to talk you out of this, haven't they? Had about enough of it, to tell you the truth.
So, if you're next Oh, I'm not going to join the pile.
It's a good thing you're doing.
The rest of your days, you can walk around knowing someone got a second chance because you put your life on the line.
Yeah.
Uh, we could ease off with the "life on the line" stuff.
[chuckles.]
I'm just saying.
We save lives around here all the time, but what you're doing is giving one.
Good on ya.
Hey.
It's time to go up.
[scoffs.]
I'm fine to walk, Dr.
Sekara.
Come on, Jackson.
You're a patient now.
You got to do what we say.
Hop in.
Okay.
[sighs.]
Brought the car back.
How is Nadine doing? She should wake up any time now.
Not exactly the day they had planned, but, um It could still work out.
Oh Oh, no.
You've got that dangerous "Alex Reid with an idea" look.
Charlie, let's see this through for them.
If Nadine truly believes that this date is so special What Are you talking about today, here, now? Yes.
I mean, the close relatives are already here.
I could suture the seam on a gown.
I guess I could get some flowers from the gift shop.
The only thing we're missing is somebody to perform the ceremony.
The chaplain, if we can find him.
No one can ever find him.
Well, then a notary public.
A ship's captain.
There's got to be somebody around here.
Check it out.
I'll sew the dress.
Are we wedding planners now? It's what we set out to do today, isn't it? Thank you.
[giggles.]
We need to talk.
No, we don't.
Oh, don't you walk away from me.
[beep.]
Come here, I want to show you something.
Ah, fine.
What? This, my friend, is your life.
And it looks like a pretty damn good one.
[gasps.]
It's not that I don't believe you, I just, I don't have these memories.
I don't have the feelings that those people do.
But doesn't it look like it might be worth trying to get them back? Oh, hi! Oh, no, no.
- Come on.
- No, come on.
- Hi.
- Hi.
What is all this stuff? So this is, uh, your favorite food, um, your favorite T-shirt, got you your favorite book, um, even your favorite cocktail.
Oh, actually, alcohol, that's [whispering.]
That's not allowed.
That smells amazing, whatever that is.
Yeah, well, I know you, Liam Quinn.
Better than anyone else in the world.
[sighs.]
I'm sorry.
You seem really great, Elyse.
But I don't know you.
All the adventures we've had, the places, I don't remember any of it.
Okay, so so let's do them all again, then.
Before your accident, we saved money for a trip, so let's just do all the fun stuff again.
We can start where we had our first date at Vellichor.
I could never afford that place Vellichor.
Believe me, you can afford it now.
You're a lawyer, dude, and a pretty good one.
To me, you're still the same man I love, same man that I built this life with.
Come on, Liam, please.
Just give me a chance to make you fall for me again.
Just one date.
Uh, how about one drink? - Okay, okay.
- Okay.
Well, that's not a bad idea, remembering where it all began.
So, you and Jonathan why did you want to adopt in the first place? We were so happy.
We just wanted to share it with someone who needed us.
We need to go back to the beginning.
- I think we both do.
- Exactly.
Why did you want to become a doctor? [chuckles.]
Yeah.
You sure that I look okay? Oh, my God, you look amazing.
And your dress looks stunning.
I can't believe they got this dress all fixed up.
[indistinct conversation.]
So, how many couples have you married with the power vested in you by the Interstellar Love Church? Only three, but I re-married one of them two more times.
You look so beautiful.
Thanks, you guys.
No, uh, you actually kind of made our day.
She's a vision in that dress.
Yeah, and I didn't think anybody could pull off a tux in here.
[chimes.]
Fellow beings We mingle our souls in this sacred temple of healing.
Though it's getting warmer I don't go out much There's a line I've been trying Not to cross Peter, it's Dana.
Um, I'm flattered by your offer, truly, but I'm gonna stay where I am.
Until they pry that scalpel out of my hands.
But I'm really looking forward to our weekend at the winery.
So, I'll see you Friday.
[applause.]
Look what we did.
Yep.
You really did work miracles with that dress, you know.
Oh, there was one more thing.
Um you said that you were having trouble with your vows, so I thought that, uh, that might help.
Are you kidding me? I lost these the day of the accident.
How did you ever get them back? Um, let's just say they found their way back to us.
Huh.
What? Well, still all true.
Every single word.
What do you say? What? Well, I asked our officiant, and she has time for one more.
Are you serious? As a heart attack.
But we can't.
We need Luke to be here.
Well, then I'll call the sitter.
He could be here in 10 minutes.
We're really gonna do this.
Should I go get everybody? No, no.
Just you and I.
Come on, Dr.
Harris, let's do this already.
[monitor beeping.]
[water running.]
You okay? I'm not supposed to be in the O.
R.
today, but we're short-staffed, so Just a little wound up.
Well, you're with me.
We'll be fine.
[breathing shakily.]
You comfortable, Jackson? Yeah, doing just fine.
You're a good man, Mr.
Wade.
See you in recovery.
Wait, hold up.
Wh-where's Billy? - Billy.
- Yeah? You're feeding my snakes tonight, right? Unfortunately, yes.
Thaw the food first, not in the microwave.
Put it under some warm water.
I got it.
Mm.
I've been looking for you, chief.
We need to talk.
I don't like the sound of that.
I want to start a burn unit.
Here at Hope Zion.
Now, I'll still operate, of course, but mostly, I want to train.
I want to teach those young ones how it's done.
Hospital needs this.
City does.
So do I.
Come to my office tomorrow.
We'll talk.
I should have stopped him.
No, you shouldn't.
I've never been more proud of this hospital.
I still have a bad feeling.
It's gonna be fine.
Making the incision.
[monitor beeping rapidly.]
- Whoa, what's happening, Wayne? - His airway's closing.
Anaphylaxis.
Must be having an allergic reaction to the anesthesia.
Pushing epi.
[groans.]
Dr.
Bishop, he's not getting enough oxygen.
Did you talk to Jonathan? He knows.
What? How? They were supposed to talk to me, - but they left him a message.
- Ugh.
And he got us two tickets to Edmonton tonight.
Tonight? [P.
A.
system beeps.]
This is a mass casualty alert.
All available staff on stand-by.
Okay, we got a highway pile-up.
It's bad.
Every ambulance on the way.
Clear the surgical board of everything that is not life and death.
Make your personal calls quick.
Get fed and hydrated.
Tonight could be a very long night.
[sighs.]
Mwah, mwah, mwah.
Among the many perils of me having time off is increasingly gourmet breakfasts.
Oh, I think we can handle it, huh? I'm just gonna try some.
Mmm.
Want some? What did you put in this omelette? It's amazing.
- Wait till you try the coffee.
- I like jobless Daddy.
He can cook for us all the time.
[chuckles.]
Hey.
Aren't we missing a step? We're gonna do all the steps, it's just planning the honeymoon's always the most fun.
I think we need to hurry in case we want to avoid, um, baby makes four at 30,000 feet.
You're right.
Let's not over-think it.
Let's be spontaneous.
Why don't we go for a drive? And ah, ah we see a place we like, we'll, um, we'll do it this weekend.
You want to get married this weekend? I don't think planning's ever worked for us before, so I think it's time to shake it up.
I know, but there's so much to think about.
I have to write new vows.
I have to get a dress that fits me in this current state.
And I don't think our marriage license is valid, - so I think we - Hey.
I love you.
And we waited long enough.
Let's do this.
Yeah, let's do it.
Let's do it.
Mm.
[siren wails.]
Okay, so most people, when asked to complete sexual history, don't go into such historical detail.
"It all started behind the portables in grade seven.
" I-I'm just trying to provide the whole picture.
A-Anything could be important.
Right, and usually I'd agree.
But this is like a novel, and not the good kind.
The kind where nothing happens, until the chapter about having unprotected sex with a professional last week.
Where's that going? You just close your eyes and think of the portables.
[man screams.]
20 bucks says penile swab.
You're on.
[groans.]
Who bet on swab? Damn it.
Every time.
Never bet against Jackson.
I wouldn't have to if I wasn't so bored.
It's been too slow today.
- Hey.
- Zip it.
No way, I'm not buying into your dumb superstition.
- They're not superstitions.
- They're rules.
Sekara, we live by them.
If you're in a betting mood, how about this? Next patient through the door's gonna be a major pain and it will be all your fault 50 bucks.
All right.
- [coughing.]
- All right.
- Dr.
Miller? - Okay, here we go.
It's just a guy with a cough.
Howdy, sir, what's your name? Randy.
Sorry, I can't stop.
Oh, thank you.
Okay, you just come with me over here.
Hey, uh, guys, is there a do you have a phone? Pay phone? 'Cause I-I'm late for a job interview.
I just got to make a quick call.
Let's first have a seat here, okay? Why don't you just take it easy and breathe for us.
All right.
[breathes deeply.]
Okay, you, uh You don't have a fever, but you're definitely a little bit jaundiced.
Oh, no, that's just, uh, where I live.
No-window basement apartment.
Full of mold.
Okay, well, you need to talk to your landlord about that.
No point now.
They're kicking me out.
I can't manage first and last at a new place.
I'm barely covering the rent as it is.
You know how it is, right? Yeah, why don't you slide down and relax? And we'll run you some tests.
Okay? Put the feet up, it's okay? Yeah.
Please.
[coughs.]
Hey, th-th-the pay phone? Here, use mine.
You can use it.
Thank you.
Yeah, no worries.
Looks like you really need this job pretty bad.
That was nice.
Hi, Mr.
Trottier, Randy Rogen speaking.
Yes.
I know.
Crazy thing, I woke up sick and I just jumped into the hospital real quick.
I'm hoping we can reschedule the interview for I've had some interesting Yes, I understand.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Here, let me grab that for you.
Guess it's not my day.
It's beautiful.
Looks like they're having a wedding.
A wedding, huh? Could be a sign.
No, Charlie, that's a sign.
I mean, how weird is that? Oh, this is cute.
Let's keep it simple.
- Just a few close friends? - Mm-hmm.
And my brothers, if I can get them.
Ooh, can we have croquembouche? Yeah, if you tell me what that is.
It is a French pastry tower.
You can have that if I get a nacho cheese fountain.
It's a deal.
[laughs.]
Have you seen a man in a tux? Uh, yeah.
Yeah, once or twice.
We seem to have lost the groom.
Poor girl.
Apparently this isn't the first time she's been left at the altar.
- Uh, we'll keep an eye out.
- Thanks.
Let's hit the road before things get ugly.
Woman: Foster? Yeah, let's book the space and leave the bride to her special day.
- Let's go.
- Foster? Foster, where are you? Ah! [thud.]
Oh.
I'm a doctor.
My name's Alex.
What's your name? This is so embarrassing.
Please, just help me up.
- What's her name? - Nadine.
Nadine, try to stay still, all right? You had a big fall.
I need to check you out.
Am I bleeding? Don't get blood on the dress, please.
I'm getting married today.
I know you are, and I love the dress.
Thank you.
You are so sweet.
Charlie, you want to check out this leg? Yep.
Hope Zion is expecting her.
Where's Foster? I have to find him.
I Ugh.
He's here, right? We're doing this? You want to try not to think about any of those things right now.
You just try to stay calm and we'll take good care of you.
I can still walk down the aisle, though, right? Hey.
You look elegant today.
Really? Because I have a meeting with producers on that, you know, "doctor thing" show tonight, so it'll be a miracle if any of this elegance actually makes it through the day.
You know, trauma isn't glamorous.
No, I know, but plastics is supposed to be, right? And that's the show.
'Cause apparently an emergency bowel repair can't compete with a feel-good face-lift for a single mom.
- That sounds - Like a step backwards, right? I know, and I haven't taken the job yet, but [sighs.]
trauma, it's thrilling and exciting and exhausting, honestly.
I don't know how much longer I can keep this up.
Well, there's no shame in running away the moment things get difficult.
Thank you for your support, Shahir.
You okay? What's going on with Jonathan? He we You know, I have to break up with him.
No after all the great relationship advice I have given you? Okay, I'm late for rounds.
I'm going to come with you.
Hang on.
I'm still in trauma as of now, and what you're going through qualifies as traumatic.
So where are we going? - I really appreciate this.
- Yeah.
I mean, with Dr.
Reid going on mat.
leave and Dr.
Williams leaving us, we could definitely use an extra gen.
surg.
around here for a while.
Especially one as talented as you.
Well, I plan on drowning my loneliness in work, so hit me with all you got.
Thank you.
Hey, listen.
Uh about everything that went down with Charlie.
Should I be worried? Ah, Jeremy, I don't know.
I mean, he needed a break.
He took it, so that's good.
Do you think it's the kind of break that he's not gonna come back from? Charlie Harris is gonna walk back into an O.
R.
The guy's ego is too big to not swing around a scalpel.
[laughs.]
I think he's gonna wait until his little girl is born - before he does, though.
- I hope so.
And, hey, in the meantime, he's got a wedding to plan.
Ah, they're finally getting married.
Good for them.
Yeah.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Dr.
Scott, what can I do for you? Uh, I wanted to talk about my shifts.
All right.
Well, get in on as many surgeries as you can because I am short-staffed.
It's the opposite, actually.
Never heard a resident say that before.
Does this have something to do with what happened with Dr.
Williams and her patient? No, no, no.
I just, uh, I need a bit of a break.
Because you were defending Cassie and yourself and so you know that if you need to take some time I don't I don't want time.
I want to work.
I just I need a break from the O.
R.
, so if you wouldn't mind maybe putting me on rounds or ICU, anything else? Okay.
See what I can do.
Billy? You're not the only one who has experienced trauma here at this hospital, so if you ever want to talk.
Thanks.
Thank you, Dr.
Bell, but no, I'm fine.
Trying to start a family has been quite stressful on our relationship.
Eating and sleeping is quite difficult, and Jonathan's worse.
He started baking again.
Oof, that's not sustainable.
No, it is not.
I would eat 1,000 quinoa-goji cookies if we could go back to the old us.
Thank you.
But failure to adopt a child has come to symbolize the failure in our relationship.
It's not fair, Dana.
Have you tried telling him this? - I tried.
- Try harder.
It seems like there's always another adoption form or a parenting class, and then when we lose out on yet another kid, it's a disappointment.
Well, my ex and I thought having a baby would bring us closer together, and you know how that story ended.
What are we doing up here? We are monitoring brain activity on our coma patients for a new study.
Well, on the bright side, I guess you're looking at a whole day of "It could be worse.
" [clatter.]
I thought you said these were coma patients.
[rapid beeping.]
They are.
- Liam, you're up.
- What, what, what? What what what happened to me? What happened to me? Well, it looks like you broke your nose when you fell, but, hey, you're awake.
Welcome back! How long's he been in a coma? - Three weeks.
- What happened to my hair? And why do I look so old? Uh, Liam, how old do you think you are? Dude, I just turned 19.
[Dana clears throat.]
Decreased air entry.
You got family? Anyone we can call? No.
Nobody.
- You sure? - Hey, could you write me a note? I got to see if I can get the guy to give me another shot at that interview.
I need this job, or I'll wind up on the street again.
All right, let's not go charging out of here just yet, Mr.
Rogen.
At least wait for your test results.
Hey, don't forget that note.
Thank you! Okay, so, results are back.
He's got a lung infection from the mold no surprise there but he's also he's end-stage liver failure.
Is he a drinker? Tox screen's clear for alcohol.
So, either hepatitis, acetaminophen overdose, suppurative cholangitis? Whatever it is, with results like these, he doesn't have much time.
Well, you two send him up to imaging to confirm, and I'll start on the transplant paperwork and have it ready when you're done.
Can't have a transplant.
What are you talking about? Right, he's been evicted.
No stable housing to convalesce No new liver.
Those are the rules.
Okay, the guy just found out that he's being evicted.
That's not fair.
He's got no family to take him in? He's got no one.
Nadine: The ceremony is in a few hours.
Where is he? Foster, he wouldn't do this to me.
Nadine, why don't you think about good things? Why don't you tell me about how you first met? Okay.
Um uh, yeah.
I was hiking on the West Coast Trail.
A week by myself, and Foster, he just comes walking out of the rainforest all like, "Hello.
" [chuckles.]
So cute.
Honestly, I think I think the moment I saw him, I You just knew? Only he was going the other way and I got his e-mail, but it totally got soaked, and then all I had was this photo that I'd taken.
And I showed it to everybody that I met.
I looked all over for him.
So then, a year later like to the date I'm on a day trip on the Bruce Trail, and just to clear my head, you know? And there he is, again.
That's amazing.
It's the same date, today.
We're supposed to get married.
That's got to be good luck, right? Are you two married? We're working on it.
[laughs.]
If Foster and I are meant to be, then why did why did this happen? [device beeps rapidly.]
Pressure's dropping.
She's going into shock.
Ouch.
Horse-drawn carriage collision or rabid bridesmaid bouquet tackle? Stair fall.
Open tibial fracture, pressure's dropping, could be internal bleeding.
On three one, two, three.
Okay.
Let's cut this dress off she looks like a meringue.
Don't you dare.
Uh, you know what I'll do? I'll I'll just cut it along the seam.
You'll be able to fix it good as new, all right? Did you talk to Foster? Went straight to voicemail, but I'm sure he's trying to find out where you are.
Okay, well, I'm gonna have to get this dress cut off.
So let's do it now, gonna have to run a FAST.
- Knife? - [coughing.]
Mr.
Rogen, where are you going? I got to go.
Thank you.
No, no.
Jackson, get him into bed right now.
And let's get Sekara down here.
We're gonna need an O.
R.
All right, bud.
Okay.
Hang in there.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Remarkable.
Just remarkable.
Okay, so so, where am I? And who who are you? Wh-what did you do to my face? Well, in order Hope Zion Hospital, Dr.
Kinney and Dr.
Hamza, nothing yet, but hold still.
[bones crunch.]
Good as new.
Ow.
Still got it.
Uh, I don't remember.
Uh I was walking to my girlfriend's house, and we were gonna head out and see the Goo Goo Dolls.
When was that exactly? Um, I can see the tickets in my hand.
It was, uh, Au August 30th.
- What year? - 1997.
Oh, my God.
Jenny, my girlfriend, is she okay? Liam, you were involved in an accident bicycling to work.
Three weeks ago, and it's currently the year of our Lord 20 [clears throat.]
2-2000 and what, lady? Lady? 2000 and what? The accident caused a brain hemorrhage, and you went into a coma.
Oh this is a dream.
I am dreaming.
Okay, I'm 19.
It's 1997.
And this is a dream.
Liam, you've just turned 40.
Ow! You need to stop talking.
I what now? You cannot tell him how old he is or what year it is.
Not yet.
But you're going to let this middle-aged buddy think that he is a teenager? We don't want to overwhelm him.
His brain is under too much stress.
I-I need to read up on his imaging a His wife comes every day.
I don't know how he's going to react to her.
- Is her name Jenny? - No.
Well, then, probably not well.
Dr.
Scott! Let's move our patient here off the coma ward.
What's the rush? He just woke up.
Just find him a ward bed.
There's, uh, precedents for this kind of memory loss.
I need to read up on it before I update his wife.
[sighs.]
Hey, I finally got hold of the groom.
- He's, um, on his way.
- Good.
How's her imaging looking? It is bad.
Traumatic aortic injury, and the blood from the tear caused a pseudo-aneurysm.
So, major surgery on her wedding day.
Sounds familiar.
Yeah.
I'm just trying to track down Dr.
Turser so I can brief her on this tibial fracture.
Oh.
Right.
Forgot I don't work here anymore? Me too.
[laughs.]
I did.
Good luck with her.
Charlie, can I talk to you about something? Yeah.
Sure.
Do you think we caused this? Alex, what happened today was happening with or without us.
I miss scientists who believe in curses.
I do understand how crazy it sounds.
It's not crazy.
Who are you talking to? I-I just think that maybe this is our chance to break free of this.
You know, if if we can give Nadine a happy ending, then maybe we Maybe we can get one ourselves.
Forget it.
It's stupid.
It's not stupid if you believe it.
And if you believe it, then maybe you should go in there and fix her.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
There you go, man.
You rest easy.
Thank you, man.
[chuckling.]
That's a huge pager.
[scoffs.]
Yeah, um, is there anything else I can do for you, Liam? Yeah.
You know, I'd really like to talk to my mom and dad.
Arthur and Gail Quinn.
I can't remember their number.
Is it It must be on my chart there.
Um, there's just, you know, there's no number here, so, let me see what I can find out.
And here, this ought to keep you entertained in the meantime.
What is it? What is this? The blood clot caused by his accident caused a 20-year gap in his long-term memory.
But he can get them back, yes? Yes, it's possible in time the brain can rewire itself to circumvent dead brain cells.
Then you should tell him everything and try and trigger it coming back.
No, no.
Not yet.
That's That's too overwhelming.
You avoid difficult conversations.
That's not true.
It's the same with telling Jonathan about how you're feeling.
You can't handle the emotional fallout.
Okay, Dr.
Kinney, this isn't your patient.
This isn't even your office.
The whole reason why you're here is to put off telling Dawn Bell that you can't handle trauma.
That was a low blow, Hamza.
Well, it doesn't matter how complicated our lives are right now.
This young middle-aged man his his problems are worse.
If he can't remember 20 years of his life, then he can't remember that both his parents are dead.
He has to experience that grief all over again.
At least we get to decide whether to put off our problems or to deal with them.
The longer you keep him from knowing, the longer you keep him from coping.
[indistinct P.
A.
announcement.]
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Hi.
You must be Foster.
I'm Dr.
Reid.
I am Nadine's doctor.
I can't believe this is happening to her.
I-I-It's all my fault.
It was an accident.
No, no.
I-I-I didn't leave her.
I wasn't running.
It just It came over me that my vows, they didn't do her justice.
I just wanted some space, some quiet, so I can make them better.
And you didn't tell anybody? Stupid.
I just needed a space so that I could put into words how I feel about her.
You know, no jokes, no cliches, just pbht! My he My heart spilled out, no matter how embarrassing it got.
Please, tell me I'll get a chance to say these things to her.
Oh, I'm going to do a procedure that will stop the internal bleeding, and then we have an orthopedic surgeon that's gonna fix her leg.
Her condition is still very serious.
[breathes heavily.]
Look, I know that this feels like the end of the world, but if you guys can get through this, you will be stronger than ever.
Will you tell her that I'm here? Like, even if she's asleep, tell her.
I will.
I promise, okay? Okay.
[sighs.]
What's happening to him? Liver's not filtering toxins anymore.
They're building up in his brain.
- Take it.
- I don't want your money.
Just take it, please.
Guys, what's up? I'm doing an endoscopic sclerotherapy with Dr.
Bishop to stop the esophageal bleeding.
It should buy us some time.
Get him on the transplant list? Not until his living situation's been resolved.
You can't just get him a liver and work this out afterwards? No.
So, you go work your magic with Bishop.
I have an idea.
[sighs.]
Oh, great.
Thank you very much.
That was very kind of you, Doctor You don't know my name, do you, Dr.
Miller? I know your work, and that's more important.
Thank you, Doctor Taylor! Dr.
Taylor.
So, the sclerotherapy went well.

Alex: Deploring the graft proximally.

We were just apart for so long, we didn't want to waste any more time.
What about you, Bishop? You seeing anyone special? Have you talked to Dr.

Or maybe, uh, a visit.
Well, you should.
What? You'll want a date for our wedding.
Memorial has a donor liver, but it's not a match for blood type.
[sighs.]
We're out of time.
He doesn't have a relative that can make a live donation? According to him, all those bridges have been burned.
I'm sorry we can't help him.
At least we can make him more comfortable.
Hey, good news.
I found a live donor for Mr.
Rogen.
How'd you do that? I'm a match.
Jackson.
No.
That is a big surgery, Jackson.
You need to think that through.
Yeah.
I have, and that's my decision, so let's make it happen.
Foster? How is she? The surgery went well.
The stent is in a good position, and she's stable.
Now Dr.
Turser is working on her leg, and she feels confident that in a few months, Nadine will be as good as new.
Okay.
Okay, this is good.
All right.
Is she awake? No.
Not yet, but you're the first face she'll see when she wakes up.
Man, if I hadn't left, this wouldn't have happened.
I mean, it m it meant so much to her, to us, to get married on the day we met.
She's superstitious like that.
I wish I hadn't blown it for her.
Hey.
This got left in the E.
R.
We should put it somewhere safe.
I never got a chance to see her in it.
Maybe it's not too late.
Wait here.
I'll be right back.
- You're not doing this.
- Beg your pardon? Don't even understand why you'd want to.
You don't even know the guy.
Okay, you just paid for his new apartment.
Yeah, a new apartment is not a liver.
Jackson, you're risking infection, long-term intestinal damage, bile leakage.
Dr.
Miller, I'm a grown man.
I can do what I want.
Listen, you've heard a million of these hard-luck stories.
Why this guy? - I talked to his family.
- Okay.
And I get it.
He's a beautiful man, halo on his head, wouldn't hurt a fly.
Nope.
They hate him.
They hate him? Okay, well, now I'm even more confused.
It was the same way with my father.
He drank a lot.
After a while, the whole family just shut him out, including me.
A few later, he comes crawling back, saying he's gonna change.
We all heard it all before.
No one believed him.
No one gave him a second chance.
He got sick.
Died alone.
He was sober.
I'm sorry to hear that.
The guy upstairs is not your father.
Okay, I know.
I just I just feel like I owe somebody a-a debt of faith.
Does everything you do make sense? Okay, fine.
Listen, logic isn't gonna work with you.
How about loyalty? The hospital needs you.
I need you.
Everyone else who works here is an idiot.
Look, I had a bad feeling this morning, and it hasn't gone away, so just give me a break, all right? Don't go through with this.
We're gonna find a liver.
No, we won't.
And that's the point.
Yes.
Thank you.
Well, now Liam wants plastic surgery, so we need to do something pretty Yes.
Yes.
Thank you for the call.
We'll give you our answer by the end of the day.
Bye.
What is it? What's wrong? That was the adoption agency.
They have a little girl in Edmonton who needs a family if we want her.
Oh, Shahir.
[breathes deeply.]
That's wonderful.
I can't do this.
I can't Dana, I can't have a baby to save a relationship when Finish the sentence.
When my heart's not in it.
And are you sure about that? You really don't want to be a father? Or are you just tired of the process? [sighs.]
I don't know anymore.
[sighs.]
What's all this? Those are Liam's personal effects.
- Oh.
- He left them in the coma ward.
I'm going to bring it down to him.
Oh, well, that's very nurturing of you, Shahir.
One might even say "paternal.
" Okay.
Let's get his wife up here.
I have an idea.
I got the consent form for you.
I bet everyone's been trying to talk you out of this, haven't they? Had about enough of it, to tell you the truth.
So, if you're next Oh, I'm not going to join the pile.
It's a good thing you're doing.
The rest of your days, you can walk around knowing someone got a second chance because you put your life on the line.
Yeah.
Uh, we could ease off with the "life on the line" stuff.
[chuckles.]
I'm just saying.
We save lives around here all the time, but what you're doing is giving one.
Good on ya.
Hey.
It's time to go up.
[scoffs.]
I'm fine to walk, Dr.
Sekara.
Come on, Jackson.
You're a patient now.
You got to do what we say.
Hop in.
Okay.
[sighs.]
Brought the car back.
How is Nadine doing? She should wake up any time now.
Not exactly the day they had planned, but, um It could still work out.
Oh Oh, no.
You've got that dangerous "Alex Reid with an idea" look.
Charlie, let's see this through for them.
If Nadine truly believes that this date is so special What Are you talking about today, here, now? Yes.
I mean, the close relatives are already here.
I could suture the seam on a gown.
I guess I could get some flowers from the gift shop.
The only thing we're missing is somebody to perform the ceremony.
The chaplain, if we can find him.
No one can ever find him.
Well, then a notary public.
A ship's captain.
There's got to be somebody around here.
Check it out.
I'll sew the dress.
Are we wedding planners now? It's what we set out to do today, isn't it? Thank you.
[giggles.]
We need to talk.
No, we don't.
Oh, don't you walk away from me.
[beep.]
Come here, I want to show you something.
Ah, fine.
What? This, my friend, is your life.
And it looks like a pretty damn good one.
[gasps.]
It's not that I don't believe you, I just, I don't have these memories.
I don't have the feelings that those people do.
But doesn't it look like it might be worth trying to get them back? Oh, hi! Oh, no, no.
- Come on.
- No, come on.
- Hi.
- Hi.
What is all this stuff? So this is, uh, your favorite food, um, your favorite T-shirt, got you your favorite book, um, even your favorite cocktail.
Oh, actually, alcohol, that's [whispering.]
That's not allowed.
That smells amazing, whatever that is.
Yeah, well, I know you, Liam Quinn.
Better than anyone else in the world.
[sighs.]
I'm sorry.
You seem really great, Elyse.
But I don't know you.
All the adventures we've had, the places, I don't remember any of it.
Okay, so so let's do them all again, then.
Before your accident, we saved money for a trip, so let's just do all the fun stuff again.
We can start where we had our first date at Vellichor.
I could never afford that place Vellichor.
Believe me, you can afford it now.
You're a lawyer, dude, and a pretty good one.
To me, you're still the same man I love, same man that I built this life with.
Come on, Liam, please.
Just give me a chance to make you fall for me again.
Just one date.
Uh, how about one drink? - Okay, okay.
- Okay.
Well, that's not a bad idea, remembering where it all began.
So, you and Jonathan why did you want to adopt in the first place? We were so happy.
We just wanted to share it with someone who needed us.
We need to go back to the beginning.
- I think we both do.
- Exactly.
Why did you want to become a doctor? [chuckles.]
Yeah.
You sure that I look okay? Oh, my God, you look amazing.
And your dress looks stunning.
I can't believe they got this dress all fixed up.
[indistinct conversation.]
So, how many couples have you married with the power vested in you by the Interstellar Love Church? Only three, but I re-married one of them two more times.
You look so beautiful.
Thanks, you guys.
No, uh, you actually kind of made our day.
She's a vision in that dress.
Yeah, and I didn't think anybody could pull off a tux in here.
[chimes.]
Fellow beings We mingle our souls in this sacred temple of healing.
Though it's getting warmer I don't go out much There's a line I've been trying Not to cross Peter, it's Dana.
Um, I'm flattered by your offer, truly, but I'm gonna stay where I am.
Until they pry that scalpel out of my hands.
But I'm really looking forward to our weekend at the winery.
So, I'll see you Friday.
[applause.]
Look what we did.
Yep.
You really did work miracles with that dress, you know.
Oh, there was one more thing.
Um you said that you were having trouble with your vows, so I thought that, uh, that might help.
Are you kidding me? I lost these the day of the accident.
How did you ever get them back? Um, let's just say they found their way back to us.
Huh.
What? Well, still all true.
Every single word.
What do you say? What? Well, I asked our officiant, and she has time for one more.
Are you serious? As a heart attack.
But we can't.
We need Luke to be here.
Well, then I'll call the sitter.
He could be here in 10 minutes.
We're really gonna do this.
Should I go get everybody? No, no.
Just you and I.
