The Letting Go
I had this friend in college Mia.
And the first time I met her, I remember she was telling me about this guy Robert something.
And she described him as "more old-man good-looking than college good-looking.
" And she said how it would be a waste to date somebody like that while still in college.
But he was crazy about her and he kept asking her out, and she kept saying no again and again.
And then Junior year, during finals, I was in the library, and I saw them together in the stacks making out.
I mean, like, seriously making out.

It's not a one-man job.
Okay? She's gonna require strict supervision around the clock, daily therapy, constant monitoring till we find a drug cocktail to keep her stabilized.
Sheldon, I can do all of that.
Sam, it can be a huge challenge to get someone in Corinne's condition just to take her meds.
You can't give up your entire life to do this, even if you tried She's my sister! Then be her brother, not her warden.

Um you know, how I remembered it.
All right.
Let me get a nurse to immobilize that.
Thank you.
You know, you're gonna run out of questions to ask me about school.
And since we already covered Ethan, whose last name will remain unknown for security reasons Sooner or later, we're gonna get around to you.
What do you want to know? Are you happy? Um, I'm headed there.
I-I like the practice.
The people are great.
Good, smart docs.
But? Well, I'm I'm the new guy, right? I mean, I've been there for a while.
I'm starting to fit in, but I don't know, I'm kind of the old new guy now.
So who's the woman? I didn't, uh, I didn't say anything about a woman.
You didn't have to.
Ange.
Jake.
It's, uh It's complicated.
But you like complicated.
You hung around with my mother Who was a drug addict and had an 8-year-old daughter.
Come on.
Her name is Addison.
And she's beautiful and brilliant and frustrating.
You know when someone is, um, is confused, they they they start sending out mixed signals? She's doing that? I think I am.
You know, mom would want you to be happy.
She would.
What are you doing? I want you to take me home.
Corinne, we're not there yet.
Will you take me home? All right, look I want you to get better.
That won't happen in this place.
You took me out of jail, and it's like I'm a prisoner all over again.
You know, I'm afraid if I don't smile, they'll sedate me.
I'm not a person here, not human.
I don't want to do this anymore.
Just please just get me outta here.
Okay.
Okay.
No, it's just a little early.
You usually don't pop by.
Is everything okay? What are you doing with that? Oh, garbage disposal broke.
And you're fixing it, huh? I would've thought that you had someone to Come on.
I perform lifesaving surgeries on babies in the womb.
I can certainly fix my own sink.
And the handyman was backed up for three days, so - Ah.
- Okay.
What's going on? I went to the hospital this morning to visit Corinne, and Sam had checked her out.
I told him it was a mistake.
You don't think that Corinne can get better at home? I don't know how much better she can get at all.
And even with the best meds, Corinne will struggle with chronic mental illness, and it's gonna be difficult just to Just to keep her stable.
Sam doesn't want to hear all that.
Well, it's his sister, and we do have an obligation to family.
To that extent that we can help, but sometimes the help that families offer can prevent the patient from getting proper oversight that he really needs, and Corinne went through a glass door.
What if it's fire next time? - You want me to talk to him? - And what would you say? Well, you made a logical appeal.
I would make an emotional appeal.
I think that makes sense.
Okay.
Do you know anything about sinks? No.
That's gonna leave a scar? Well, I'm gonna do the best I can, but, uh yeah.
At least you'll have some bragging rights with the other paramedics.
- Just not with Violet.
- How so? I get the feeling she's not impressed.
Ah, she's just scared.
It's kinda like a a mother scolding her kid for running out in the street without looking.
She's not really angry.
She's just terrified something much worse coulda happened.
I'm gonna try not to read into that whole child analogy.
Hey, look, believe it or not, I'm happy for you and Violet.
I do find that hard to believe.
We've reached a place in our friendship, in our coparenting.
She's got you now, and I'm dating someone, so Hi.

Oh, I'm fine.
Yeah? And Corinne? She's fine.
She's fine.
You know, it's it's an adjustment.
But we're we're figuring it out.
Corinne? I'm still here, Sam.
I can't even imagine how Painful this must be for you.
Yeah.
You could hire someone to help, find somewhere for her to stay where she can get the care she needs.
Come on, Addison.
You know I'm not gonna do anything like that.
I know.
That's why I'm worried.
I appreciate it.
I really do.

Okay, well, you said you wanted to come back home, so No, I don't mean here in your home.
I mean here on earth, alive.
And don't worry.
I don't have the courage to kill myself.
It could be worse on the other side.
I'd probably just Screw it up and become a quadriplegic or so the worst place for me, the scariest place for me, is in my mind, and that's all I'd have left.
So I'm not gonna do it, but I don't want to be here.
Okay.
I know it may seem like it, but you're not gonna feel this way forever.
Okay? Yeah, I'm sure you're right.
All right.

If I put rocks in my pockets and start to run into the ocean, you'll notice.
Sam.
Hey.
Were you were you gonna go with your sister? Uh, no.
What are you doing? She said she'd rather be dead.
So I don't know if she really feels like that or if it's some kind of cry for help but I just feel like I need to Suicide-proof the house? Sam You can't do this.
You cannot watch her every second.
It's too much.
We've been through this.
No, no, you've put me off.
Listen to me.
I get wanting to do anything you can for your family.
I get it.
You know, you're doing this because you feel a sense of of responsibility and guilt.
But I am telling you, no matter how hard you try, you won't bring Corinne up.
She'll bring you down.
And that makes me scared for you.
Well I made a promise to my sister that I'd never give up on her.
So I won't.
Can you just take these, please? This is it, huh? The glio has metastasized.
Another tumor.
Not just one.
It's in your liver, your G.
I.
tract, and it's encroaching on your spinal column.
How long? That depends on a number of factors How long? Given the bleeding, maybe a week.
What do I have to look forward to? Paralysis in your legs.
Your bowels will stop working.
Constant pain.
He can't see this.
Erica, Mason will want to be around you as much as possible.
My son will not watch me become pathetic and useless.
He will not watch because that I love him too much to see that look on his face.
I can't do that to him.
Do you understand? Do you understand? What are you doing here? Well, that that's a lovely greeting.
Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah, I just, uh Is that a gun? Did you find out Ethan's last name and come here to defend my virtue? Look, about that, I'm I'm sorry if I was acting weird when you were telling me that thing you were telling me.
You're still acting weird.
I know.
Look, I I'm just I'm It's gonna take me a minute to get used to the idea that you're a-a woman.
Ew.
Don't call me that.
Well, what do you want me to call you? Ange.
Come walk me to my next class.
Anyway, I'm feeling I don't know, a little out of my depth with all of this.
I'm trying to figure out the difference between things that will help and things that will make you cringe.
Oh, God.
What's in the bag? Seriously? Condoms? Just, you know Yeah, I know.
Thanks.
So you think maybe one of these days I can meet this Ethan? I'd like that.
And maybe one of these days, I can meet Addison.
We could double date.
Uh, yeah.
I don't I don't think so.
Why? What's happening with her? Nothing's happening with her.
Don't you want to be with her? I'd rather have your mom back.
So do I, but in a world of things that actually could happen Look, the point is, being in love or whatever, just feels completely amazing.
And I just feel, you should try it again.
I can say that.
You just gave me condoms.
Okay, it's time to take it.
I'll take it later.
No, you can't do that.
No, I haven't eaten.
All right.
Well, I'll get you something to eat.
You know, I don't want to, Sam.
And these pills are not gonna help me.
Uh, Corinne, we're not doing this.
Okay? The pills upset my stomach.
That's because you're not eating enough.
Mm.
Happy now? You're gonna have to eat some more.
No.
Well, then your stomach's gonna hurt.
But you have to take your pill, Corinne.
I'm not taking the pill.
Look, look, this is not a negotiation.
Why are you doing this? Because we made a deal.
You said that you would try and and you think I'm not trying? I think that you're making this a lot harder than it needs - Yeah, well, harder harder for you? I have to live like this.
You watch me, and you order me around, and you and you judge silently but you judge.
I'm trying to take care of you.
Now please take that pill.
No.
C take this No! - Take this damn pill.
- No.
No! - Take this pill.
- No.
- Take this pill! - No! Take this pill! - Open your mouth.
Open your mouth! - Mm.
- Mm.
- Open your mouth.
Take your pills! Take your pills! Take your pills! I did some I don't know.
It's like I became I can't make her better.
I don't know how much I can help her at all.
It's too much to expect of yourself.
I mean, I can't walk away.
If I give up, it'll hurt her so badly.
And, um I could lose her again.
Maybe, but you love Corinne.
And if you really want to help her, that's a chance you have to take.
So she's gonna die? Yeah.
Soon.
Can I go see her? Of course.
Yeah.
But here's the thing your mom is really, really sick.
And she's gonna get a lot sicker in the next week before she dies.
Like throwing up blood? Yeah.
That and other stuff.
Like what? Your mama will start to lose feeling in parts of her body.
So it'll get hard for her to walk and to hold things, go to the bathroom, and finally, to breathe.
That's a lot, I know, but your mama's tough.
The only thing in the world she really cares about is you, which is why she doesn't want you to watch her get worse.
She doesn't want you to see her when it's really bad.
She wants you to remember her strong and healthy and happy.
So tomorrow we're gonna take you to say good-bye to her.
I can't see her after tomorrow? Well, your mom She wants to protect you.
She must be so scared.
Yeah.
Wow.
That looks Disgusting.
I know.
But it is the only thing I want to eat, and I can't do this in the kitchen because then everyone will know.
Yeah, well, forgive me for starting the obvious, but you live with Addison.
And she's gonna know you're pregnant soon enough.
I will get to it, Sheldon.
Your baby can't wait for you to get to it.
You need to start prenatal care now.
You need to start taking vitamins, you need an ultrasound.
Please stop talking.
Oh What happened to me? I'm a professional psychiatrist, I have insight, reason, compassion in spades.
No one wants to listen to me anymore.
Perhaps I should just remove my shingle.
I could settle down in some remote village somewhere.
I-I have an iPad.
I could be a God.
People would listen to me.
Sheldon, I'm listening, but you're not getting it.
We were doing drugs when this baby was conceived.
We were doing so many drugs that it killed Ryan.
What what if my baby has two heads and a scaly tail because of me? Most likely, your baby is completely healthy.
And it'll just need you to take care of it.
The point is, the minute I tell Addison I mean, the minute I go to a doctor everything that I have done to myself and this baby I I mean, I can't avoid it anymore.
It's real.
It's already real, Amelia, whether you want it to be or not.
I Fine.
Okay.
I said I'd be here for you.
So should we get you some baggy clothes or leave the country? I have a cousin in a convent in France.
I mean, I'm sure they could take you in there? Well, maybe not you.
Thank you, Sheldon.
Mm-hmm.
Don't.
Hey.
So, uh, I didn't have time to stop anywhere this morning, and the gift shop in the, uh, hospital's sort of lacking.
But, um bawk.
Oh.
I thought this could cheer you up.
I thought the bear kinda looks like you, don't you think? Ah.
No, maybe, uh, on the On the nightstand there.
Uh, why don't you Why don't you sit? Why don't you sit down? I am so glad that you're here.
It's, uh It means more to me than you can imagine.
But I know that it's It's probably more out of a, um A sense of responsibility.
That that's that's not true.
Wh-what we've had has been It's great.
And you are great, Violet.
But you and me, that's That's not what you want.
Not really.
Are you you and Pete are a family.
And I don't want to get in the middle of that.
I don't I don't know that I could even if I wanted to.
You're a family.
And you should be a family.
Hey.
Hey.
I'm glad you called.
So, uh When you suggested an in-patient there are people that will care for her around the clock.
She'll be kept safe, med compliant, she'll get therapy and whatever support she needs.
It'll be better for her, Sam.
I don't know if I'll be able to Abandon her like that.
This is the best thing for her.
She's never gonna see it that way.
I'll be right outside.
Come here, you.
Mm.
You are my boy.
The best thing I ever did was make you, was have you.
And right now, you must be so confused and mad.
I'm not mad.
Good.

That's good.
I just wish I wish you didn't have to go.
Me, too.
I am so proud of you.
It's okay.
I'm gonna listen to Cooper and Charlotte.

I didn't cry.
I was strong so she'd remember me smiling and being a good boy.
I didn't cry, Charlotte.
Uh, Angela.
How could you tell? Because my colleagues don't usually play peekaboo.
What are you doing here? Um, I figured I should see this place in person.
Oh, you just came by to see my office? Mm-hmm.
Is that her? Addison.
This is Angela My my daughter.
Hello, Angela.

I've heard a lot about you.

I It's just hard.

And and I know that it's impossible for you, but, uh, somehow I I made it about me, and No, I was awful and and I didn't listen.
Just just let me finish.

I don't ever, ever want to hurt you.
I didn't mean to scare you.
I'm terrified.
And I don't I don't know how to do this.
Not the right way.
You're doing your best, and I'm I'm the one who's been screwing up.

Hey.
Are you okay? What's wrong? I'm I'm, uh I'm pregnant.
Oh, God.
I'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
I know how hard you've tried.
And I know that it is not fair No, no, stop, stop.

Okay, Amelia, I am so happy for you.
You don't hate me? Hate you? You're gonna make me an aunt.
Oh.
Amelia, you're having a baby.
Ohh.
Thank you.
Okay, we're all set here.
All right, Ms.
Bennett, it's time to go.
Corinne, I'll be by to see you.
And I'll come visit you when-whenever you want.
You know that.
Sam, I'm I'm your sister.
I can do this.
I can.
I can be the old Corinne again.
I-I can.
Would you just take me home? And I'll show you.
Okay? You know that I love you, that I'm doing this because I love you.
You need to be safe.
I never shoulda called you.
- Hey.
- Oh.
That was unbearable.
I can't even imagine.
I'm not looking forward to the rest of my life.
Is there someone you want me to call an aunt or A cousin or a friend? Happy to make arrangements for anyone who I don't have anyone.
Now that's just not true.
So I'm looking at the college newsletter the other day, and there they are Mia and Robert something in the announcements.
They're married for 20 years.
So what did that say to you? I don't know.
I mean You'd think that the lesson would be not to give up.
But How did this guy know when the yes was coming? How does anyone know when to keep going and when to just let go?
And the first time I met her, I remember she was telling me about this guy Robert something.
And she described him as "more old-man good-looking than college good-looking.
" And she said how it would be a waste to date somebody like that while still in college.
But he was crazy about her and he kept asking her out, and she kept saying no again and again.
And then Junior year, during finals, I was in the library, and I saw them together in the stacks making out.
I mean, like, seriously making out.
And I kept thinking, how did that happen? Sorry, dad.
Just one more minute.
It's your birthday, ange.
Take five more minutes.
So there's Something I wanted to tell you.
Let me guess.
You're dropping bio and all of your pre-med classes? I was planning on sneaking that in after dinner.
Ouch.
Just kidding.
I like being pre med.
Kind of.
Anyway The thing is I did it.
I had sex for the first time.
- What? - I No, wait.
Don't don't don't say that again.
I mean, I might be in love so we had sex, and it was Oh, no.
No, I I don't I don't really want to know what it was like.
I don't want to know anything about it.
You're still 8 and you're putting on your mother's makeup for the first time.
I'm not 8, and he's really nice.
And his name is I mean, you realize, you tell me his name, - I'm gonna have to hunt him down - Dad.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Wow.
I mean, this is a This is a little weird for me.
You're You're my baby girl.
I know, but I kind of I don't know, I wanted to tell you because I'm so happy.
And I figured that is something you'd want to hear.
Well, I do, but I I do, and I'm I'm glad you told me.
It's nice, feeling like this.
Yeah, it it is.
Oh, my God.
Do you have someone? Let's go eat.
Come on.
Hey.
How long have I been sleeping? Since last night.
How do you feel? Groggy.
Okay, I guess.
I'll be right outside if either of you needs me, okay? - Oh, God.
Sam - Oh.
Your head.
Don't worry about it.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
No, no, no, I-I broke your door.
Well, I was worried about you, and the door, it wasn't your fault.
- No, even if I don't mean to do - Shh.
- The stuff I do, I still it still happens.
- Stop it.
S Corinne.
- Stop.

I promise.
But just I know.
I know.
I promise.
Please.
Don't give up on me.
You know, because without you Hey, I'm not going anywhere.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, look, I think she needs a proper facility.
All right.
Well, I'm a doctor.
All right? I can handle all that.
It's not a one-man job.
Okay? She's gonna require strict supervision around the clock, daily therapy, constant monitoring till we find a drug cocktail to keep her stabilized.
Sheldon, I can do all of that.
Sam, it can be a huge challenge to get someone in Corinne's condition just to take her meds.
You can't give up your entire life to do this, even if you tried She's my sister! Then be her brother, not her warden.
You gotta trust me on this.
Dr.
Wilder, we need you.

Husband went crazy on his wife.
We thought he was gone.

It's weirding me out.
So any Any decision? I think I want mint tea instead of chamomile.
Yeah, I meant, you know, the baby.
What baby? I know this is hard, but you're well into your second trimester.
Time is running out if you decide you want to I mean, you know, if if you need to Terminate.
You could keep the baby.
I'm two seconds sober.
I'm not exactly mother of the year material.
What about adoption? Because crack babies are in such high demand.
I'm sorry none of the choices are without pain.
It's time.
You know, you You need to choose.

Husband came out on top, though, so Don't say that.
This isn't funny.

- It's dislocated.
- Can you do something? I'm gonna try to reduce it before the morphine wears off.
You might want to wait outside.
Why? It's not gonna be very pretty.

Let let me help.
Mm.
Okay.
I'm gonna do the Kocher maneuver.
Do you remember how to do it? Of course.
Okay.
Come right in here.
Put your hands on his shoulder.

When I say, you push down hard.
- Ah.
- Ready? - Ah.
Ah.
- Okay, now.
- Aah! Aah! - It's not working.
- Push harder.
- Pete, I can't.
It's not working.
You're not pressing hard enough.
- I need some help here.
- Violet, we are almost there.
We can't stop now.
Hey, Violet.
Hey, hey, look at me.
Look at me, you can do this.
You gotta trust me.
Now press down as hard as you can.
Go.
Aah! Ah! Oh, oh, ooh! Okay.
Ah.
Ah.
- You okay? - I'm fine.
- Yeah, that just, you know, wasn't - Thank you.
Um you know, how I remembered it.
All right.
Let me get a nurse to immobilize that.
Thank you.
You know, you're gonna run out of questions to ask me about school.
And since we already covered Ethan, whose last name will remain unknown for security reasons Sooner or later, we're gonna get around to you.
What do you want to know? Are you happy? Um, I'm headed there.
I-I like the practice.
The people are great.
Good, smart docs.
But? Well, I'm I'm the new guy, right? I mean, I've been there for a while.
I'm starting to fit in, but I don't know, I'm kind of the old new guy now.
So who's the woman? I didn't, uh, I didn't say anything about a woman.
You didn't have to.
Ange.
Jake.
It's, uh It's complicated.
But you like complicated.
You hung around with my mother Who was a drug addict and had an 8-year-old daughter.
Come on.
Her name is Addison.
And she's beautiful and brilliant and frustrating.
You know when someone is, um, is confused, they they they start sending out mixed signals? She's doing that? I think I am.
You know, mom would want you to be happy.
She would.
What are you doing? I want you to take me home.
Corinne, we're not there yet.
Will you take me home? All right, look I want you to get better.
That won't happen in this place.
You took me out of jail, and it's like I'm a prisoner all over again.
You know, I'm afraid if I don't smile, they'll sedate me.
I'm not a person here, not human.
I don't want to do this anymore.
Just please just get me outta here.
Okay.
Okay.
No, it's just a little early.
You usually don't pop by.
Is everything okay? What are you doing with that? Oh, garbage disposal broke.
And you're fixing it, huh? I would've thought that you had someone to Come on.
I perform lifesaving surgeries on babies in the womb.
I can certainly fix my own sink.
And the handyman was backed up for three days, so - Ah.
- Okay.
What's going on? I went to the hospital this morning to visit Corinne, and Sam had checked her out.
I told him it was a mistake.
You don't think that Corinne can get better at home? I don't know how much better she can get at all.
And even with the best meds, Corinne will struggle with chronic mental illness, and it's gonna be difficult just to Just to keep her stable.
Sam doesn't want to hear all that.
Well, it's his sister, and we do have an obligation to family.
To that extent that we can help, but sometimes the help that families offer can prevent the patient from getting proper oversight that he really needs, and Corinne went through a glass door.
What if it's fire next time? - You want me to talk to him? - And what would you say? Well, you made a logical appeal.
I would make an emotional appeal.
I think that makes sense.
Okay.
Do you know anything about sinks? No.
That's gonna leave a scar? Well, I'm gonna do the best I can, but, uh yeah.
At least you'll have some bragging rights with the other paramedics.
- Just not with Violet.
- How so? I get the feeling she's not impressed.
Ah, she's just scared.
It's kinda like a a mother scolding her kid for running out in the street without looking.
She's not really angry.
She's just terrified something much worse coulda happened.
I'm gonna try not to read into that whole child analogy.
Hey, look, believe it or not, I'm happy for you and Violet.
I do find that hard to believe.
We've reached a place in our friendship, in our coparenting.
She's got you now, and I'm dating someone, so Hi.
What happened? He passed out.
B.
P.

What are you doing? Uh, oh, Corinne's taking a bath, so I just wanted to make sure she's okay.
Oh.
I was just Making sure that you're okay.
Oh, I'm fine.
Yeah? And Corinne? She's fine.
She's fine.
You know, it's it's an adjustment.
But we're we're figuring it out.
Corinne? I'm still here, Sam.
I can't even imagine how Painful this must be for you.
Yeah.
You could hire someone to help, find somewhere for her to stay where she can get the care she needs.
Come on, Addison.
You know I'm not gonna do anything like that.
I know.
That's why I'm worried.
I appreciate it.
I really do.
I'm gonna be fine.
Really.
This is Ryan's baby.
I can't abort Ryan's baby.
And I can't give away Ryan's baby.

What the hell is this? - Mase.
- Dad.
It's okay.
We're here.
We're here.
What's going on? She's complaining of crampy abdominal pain with distension.
Well, that can't be secondary to neurosurgery, not in her abdomen.
Erica, any headaches, weakness? No, no.
My stomach.
I ordered an abdominal C.
T.
Oh, I think I'm gonna Is that blood? - Cooper, take him away.
- Ohh! I don't want to go.
We'll bring you back after the doctors help your mom, okay? - Now come on, Mason.
Come on.
- I love you, mommy.
I love you.
How come you're not eating? I'm not hungry.
Come on, Corinne.
I can't make myself hungry.
Look If we're gonna do this, there have to be rules, right? You gotta get eight hours of sleep, you gotta eat properly, take your meds.
Yeah, okay, okay.
Thank you.
There you go.
Open your mouth.
Come on.
Open up.
I can't see.
All right.
If I wanted to be humiliated, I could've stayed in the hospital.

I don't want to do that.
You know that's not what I'm doing, okay? Now eat your food.
Look, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
All right? I'm just trying to It's not that.
Well, then what is it? I don't want to be here.
Okay, well, you said you wanted to come back home, so No, I don't mean here in your home.
I mean here on earth, alive.
And don't worry.
I don't have the courage to kill myself.
It could be worse on the other side.
I'd probably just Screw it up and become a quadriplegic or so the worst place for me, the scariest place for me, is in my mind, and that's all I'd have left.
So I'm not gonna do it, but I don't want to be here.
Okay.
I know it may seem like it, but you're not gonna feel this way forever.
Okay? Yeah, I'm sure you're right.
All right.
I just saw Pete.
Scott had a delayed rupture of his spleen due to the trauma, and they had to remove it.
Is he gonna be okay? He's doing fine.
Uh, they're just finishing up now.
They'll move him to recovery.
Well, that's good.
Have you talked to Cooper? No.
Why? Erica's in the E.
R.
What happened? She collapsed.
Mason called Cooper.
It's it's bad.
Okay.
Well, where is he? I'll go see him.

And now my best friend's son's mother is back in the hospital.
So not okay.
Not so much.
Not so much.
You said my mom was okay.
I thought she was, and she still might be.
- She threw up blood.
- And that's not good, but Amelia and Pete and Charlotte, they're gonna figure it out.
Are you lying to me? No.
Mason, no, I promise.
Hey, look at me.
I don't know what's going on with your mom.
But if she's sick again, you have to tell me this time.

He's still sleeping.
I'm fine.
How's Erica? She's stable.
Amelia's running some scans.
Where's Cooper? Is he still with Mason? Yeah.
It's rough.
I just I keep thinking, if it was one of us I know.
I called the nanny.
I had her put Lucas on the phone twice already.
I know.
I called earlier, but he'd already gone down for a nap.
Yeah, well, don't worry.
Um, I told him that I was with you.
Thank you.
Violet.
Hey.
Hey.
How you feelin'? Awful.

No problem.
So, uh I will catch up with you guys later.
It's a beautiful day out.
Want to get some fresh air, go for a walk? Wait.
Hold up.
No, I'll go alone.
No, I'll come with you.
Sam, I'll walk straight out to the beach.
You'll be able to see me.
If I put rocks in my pockets and start to run into the ocean, you'll notice.
Sam.
Hey.
Were you were you gonna go with your sister? Uh, no.
What are you doing? She said she'd rather be dead.
So I don't know if she really feels like that or if it's some kind of cry for help but I just feel like I need to Suicide-proof the house? Sam You can't do this.
You cannot watch her every second.
It's too much.
We've been through this.
No, no, you've put me off.
Listen to me.
I get wanting to do anything you can for your family.
I get it.
You know, you're doing this because you feel a sense of of responsibility and guilt.
But I am telling you, no matter how hard you try, you won't bring Corinne up.
She'll bring you down.
And that makes me scared for you.
Well I made a promise to my sister that I'd never give up on her.
So I won't.
Can you just take these, please? This is it, huh? The glio has metastasized.
Another tumor.
Not just one.
It's in your liver, your G.
I.
tract, and it's encroaching on your spinal column.
How long? That depends on a number of factors How long? Given the bleeding, maybe a week.
What do I have to look forward to? Paralysis in your legs.
Your bowels will stop working.
Constant pain.
He can't see this.
Erica, Mason will want to be around you as much as possible.
My son will not watch me become pathetic and useless.
He will not watch because that I love him too much to see that look on his face.
I can't do that to him.
Do you understand? Do you understand? What are you doing here? Well, that that's a lovely greeting.
Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah, I just, uh Is that a gun? Did you find out Ethan's last name and come here to defend my virtue? Look, about that, I'm I'm sorry if I was acting weird when you were telling me that thing you were telling me.
You're still acting weird.
I know.
Look, I I'm just I'm It's gonna take me a minute to get used to the idea that you're a-a woman.
Ew.
Don't call me that.
Well, what do you want me to call you? Ange.
Come walk me to my next class.
Anyway, I'm feeling I don't know, a little out of my depth with all of this.
I'm trying to figure out the difference between things that will help and things that will make you cringe.
Oh, God.
What's in the bag? Seriously? Condoms? Just, you know Yeah, I know.
Thanks.
So you think maybe one of these days I can meet this Ethan? I'd like that.
And maybe one of these days, I can meet Addison.
We could double date.
Uh, yeah.
I don't I don't think so.
Why? What's happening with her? Nothing's happening with her.
Don't you want to be with her? I'd rather have your mom back.
So do I, but in a world of things that actually could happen Look, the point is, being in love or whatever, just feels completely amazing.
And I just feel, you should try it again.
I can say that.
You just gave me condoms.
Okay, it's time to take it.
I'll take it later.
No, you can't do that.
No, I haven't eaten.
All right.
Well, I'll get you something to eat.
You know, I don't want to, Sam.
And these pills are not gonna help me.
Uh, Corinne, we're not doing this.
Okay? The pills upset my stomach.
That's because you're not eating enough.
Mm.
Happy now? You're gonna have to eat some more.
No.
Well, then your stomach's gonna hurt.
But you have to take your pill, Corinne.
I'm not taking the pill.
Look, look, this is not a negotiation.
Why are you doing this? Because we made a deal.
You said that you would try and and you think I'm not trying? I think that you're making this a lot harder than it needs - Yeah, well, harder harder for you? I have to live like this.
You watch me, and you order me around, and you and you judge silently but you judge.
I'm trying to take care of you.
Now please take that pill.
No.
C take this No! - Take this damn pill.
- No.
No! - Take this pill.
- No.
- Take this pill! - No! Take this pill! - Open your mouth.
Open your mouth! - Mm.
- Mm.
- Open your mouth.
Take your pills! Take your pills! Take your pills! I did some I don't know.
It's like I became I can't make her better.
I don't know how much I can help her at all.
It's too much to expect of yourself.
I mean, I can't walk away.
If I give up, it'll hurt her so badly.
And, um I could lose her again.
Maybe, but you love Corinne.
And if you really want to help her, that's a chance you have to take.
So she's gonna die? Yeah.
Soon.
Can I go see her? Of course.
Yeah.
But here's the thing your mom is really, really sick.
And she's gonna get a lot sicker in the next week before she dies.
Like throwing up blood? Yeah.
That and other stuff.
Like what? Your mama will start to lose feeling in parts of her body.
So it'll get hard for her to walk and to hold things, go to the bathroom, and finally, to breathe.
That's a lot, I know, but your mama's tough.
The only thing in the world she really cares about is you, which is why she doesn't want you to watch her get worse.
She doesn't want you to see her when it's really bad.
She wants you to remember her strong and healthy and happy.
So tomorrow we're gonna take you to say good-bye to her.
I can't see her after tomorrow? Well, your mom She wants to protect you.
She must be so scared.
Yeah.
Wow.
That looks Disgusting.
I know.
But it is the only thing I want to eat, and I can't do this in the kitchen because then everyone will know.
Yeah, well, forgive me for starting the obvious, but you live with Addison.
And she's gonna know you're pregnant soon enough.
I will get to it, Sheldon.
Your baby can't wait for you to get to it.
You need to start prenatal care now.
You need to start taking vitamins, you need an ultrasound.
Please stop talking.
Oh What happened to me? I'm a professional psychiatrist, I have insight, reason, compassion in spades.
No one wants to listen to me anymore.
Perhaps I should just remove my shingle.
I could settle down in some remote village somewhere.
I-I have an iPad.
I could be a God.
People would listen to me.
Sheldon, I'm listening, but you're not getting it.
We were doing drugs when this baby was conceived.
We were doing so many drugs that it killed Ryan.
What what if my baby has two heads and a scaly tail because of me? Most likely, your baby is completely healthy.
And it'll just need you to take care of it.
The point is, the minute I tell Addison I mean, the minute I go to a doctor everything that I have done to myself and this baby I I mean, I can't avoid it anymore.
It's real.
It's already real, Amelia, whether you want it to be or not.
I Fine.
Okay.
I said I'd be here for you.
So should we get you some baggy clothes or leave the country? I have a cousin in a convent in France.
I mean, I'm sure they could take you in there? Well, maybe not you.
Thank you, Sheldon.
Mm-hmm.
