Royal Pains s07e04 Episode Script
The Prince of Nucleotides
What a lovely frame? It's a strand of your DNA.
Really? We sequenced and framed the DNA of all the lab's major donors for the gift bags at our upcoming gala.
Thank you.
It's very thoughtful.
But yours is just a gift.
I can't believe this got done so fast.
This sequencer is already obsolete.
The newer model will handle dozens of genomes in a single day.
So what does all this mean? Um, the the nucleotides, which are joined by each rung on the double helix in a strand of DNA can only be paired cytosine to guanine, or C to G.
Yeah, that's great, but I meant how does my DNA look? Will I be able to have a healthy baby? Oh, um, I have no idea.
You'll have to ask the geneticist.
And five, six, seven, eight.
The camp nurse totally overreacted.
I don't need that oxygen.
Okay, but the nurse was right to call me.
Calf pain followed by shortness of breath can be signs of a blood clot.
This won't take too long.
I hope not.
We only have two more rehearsal days left, and like a genius, I changed the whole ending last night.
- You're a choreographer? - Trying to be.
Uh, sorry, Doc.
Guys, take that again.
From the lift.
Okay.
Ah.
Yep, there it is.
- Um, you see that spot? - Uh-huh.
Right there.
That's a DVT a deep vein thrombosis a clot.
Anna, do you take birth control pills? Why would that matter? Well, estrogen can cause clots.
Anyway, I don't.
Okay, I'll start you on blood thinners, and you'll need a chest CT.
Just a second, Doc.
Guys! The turn into the lift into the fall should be what impulse? Here.
Okay.
Just a second.
Okay, so you're gonna bring yourself around Cia.
Then you're gonna use the momentum to bring you down, and then, you're gonna follow him up and around and - Oh, my God! - Anna? Anna? Here we go.
Here we go.
That's it.
It's okay, it's okay.
Just breathe.
Is she okay? She's gonna be fine, but run and ask a nurse to call 911.
Thank you.
Let me just get Your shortness of breath could be a sign that clots have broken off and scattered to your lungs.
Anna, I have to ask.
How long have you been a girl? - Hey, Anna.
- Hey.
So the chest CT confirmed that you have pulmonary emboli.
You'll have to stay overnight, but the blood thinners are already working.
We'll get you back to your dancers as soon as possible.
- Thank you.
- You got it.
Um, so, Anna, an ER doctor will be coming to do a full exam, including a pelvic, and an admissions officer needs to help clarify your parents' health insurance.
There is no Anna on their policy.
They only list an Abe.
Yeah, that's out of date.
So you were born a boy? No, the ER doctor won't agree, but I've always been a girl.
Got you.
How long have you been Anna? On and off at home since I was little, but everywhere full time starting this year.
And at camp? It's been so cool.
No one there ever knew me before, so to them, I'm just me.
How did you guess? Was it my voice? I'm a doctor.
It's my job to notice things, like the waxing rash on your chest.
But if I weren't treating you, I would never have known.
Yeah.
I was always teased for being too feminine.
Hmm.
Do your parents know that you're taking estrogen? My mom tries to be supportive, but she insisted I see a therapist.
Mm-hmm.
Then made me promise not to start hormones until I turn 17 and not to push for surgery yet.
But A few months ago, I started taking estrogen behind her back.
Self-administering? It's just a pill.
Well, sometimes it's not that simple.
We should run some tests.
We need to go back to 2C.
No way.
No going back.
So Sashi has to sit upside down.
Yeah.
Is that a problem? I thought I could finish this before I left.
I'm gonna finish this later.
Once we're out of her hair is what Mommy means.
You said it.
You sure you and Sashi don't want to join us? You mean come out to your parents that we are seeing each other? Your parents who sued me for breaking our engagement? You're right, it's too soon.
We don't want to rush this.
Everything is going so well.
I just I don't want to rock the boat.
Anyway, I can't miss the lab fundraiser.
I'll miss you.
I'll miss you too, but I promise that I will have conquered the baby kinder jumper seat by the time you get back.
Dear God, make it so.
All right, guys, let's go.
Come on.
Accounting for time zones, Boris' fundraiser in London will actually close four hours before ours begins.
Not that it's a competition.
Entirely.
The two of you have become quite a team organizing this gala.
Oh, not just the gala.
You should see us work Big Pharma.
And the medical device reps.
- Mm-hmm.
- Let me guess.
You handle the wining and dining, and Jeremiah knows what you're actually buying.
You would be surprised.
This guy's learned a thing or two about the art of the schmooze.
Evan's a good teacher.
And since I don't have time to refute that, I'll just say thanks for the briefing.
Actually, we know how little you care about the board and being on a gala committee, so we hate to ask you this, but we could use a favor.
Two it's two favors.
- Right.
- How can I help? Well, one of our biggest potential donors, Olympia Houston you know who Olympia Houston is.
No, but I'm guessing she's rich.
Oh, my God, you're amazing.
Yes, she's rich, but she's also not feeling tip top, so we're hoping that you could see her, like, ASAP since we need her check-writing hand in perfect condition by Sunday.
Yeah, of course I can see a patient.
- That's no favor.
- Even better.
So we only have one favor to ask.
The highlight of the gala is a big-ticket auction, so we've done some research on which doctor's services would bring a high price, and guess who is at the top of the list.
You.
I was gonna guess that.
Listen, guys, I never meant to give the impression I can't be bothered.
I support rare and genetic disease research and all the work you're doing.
Of course you can auction off my services.
That's great.
Hey, maybe we should let him know Ah, Jeremiah, what do we do? - We take the yes.
- We take the yes.
- Can I leave now? - Uh-huh.
Okay.
Hey.
Whoa.
What happened over here? The plants were wilted.
So you moved the living room? No, no, I realized if we move the table over here and then swap - Is something burning? - My soup.
Ah! Oh, no.
Um, wha Did you hear something upsetting from the geneticist? No, no, not upsetting.
Well, you know, maybe a little upsetting but not disturbing upsetting, just upsetting.
- Paige? - Yeah? Hi.
Come with me.
Sit.
Tell, from the beginning.
Okay.
Well, I was really lucky the doctor could work me in, but honestly, I think she saw my name and knew I was your wife, and then suddenly, she has an opening, like Okay, let's skip the beginning.
How was the ending? Like, how are you okay? Oh, yeah, my DNA markers seem fine.
There's no propensity for any known genetic diseases.
Oh, thank goodness.
Yeah.
Ooh.
There is one funny thing.
Turns out my mitochondrial DNA is 10% to 14% Ashkenazi, which means Jewish? Paige Collins Lawson is a member of my tribe? Was I not in it before? I gotta call Dad.
- Please don't call your dad.
- Okay.
But I gotta call Hank.
If you call Hank and tell him I'm 10% to 14% Jewish while I'm trying to tell you something earth-shattering, I will 10% to 14% divorce you.
Got it, sorry.
Go on.
Well, it turns out, since Dr.
Parks reads the hospital blogs, she knows about your issues with low Motility.
Do we have to say it every day? Anyway, she knows, and now she also knows that I'm adopted.
And her partner is a lawyer who handles adoptions, so she asked if we were considering adopting.
Which we're not.
- Are we? - Well, no.
- No, we haven't been.
- Right.
But it turns out she only asked because there's this young girl who's seven months pregnant, and the couple who was adopting her little girl had some kind of change of heart, and so So Well, I told her we'd just started trying to get pregnant, and it wasn't the right time.
But ever since I left her office, I've just had this feeling, and I've been thinking about whatever it was that made my parents decide to adopt when they did and then to choose me, and how once they did, my whole life happened, including you, like it was fate.
And I don't know.
It's a little girl.
You know, we have a 50-50 shot at making our own little girl, right? I know, I know, and I wouldn't want to stop trying to have our own babies, but this has landed on our doorstep for some reason.
Well, it's a new idea to consider, that's for sure.
I know.
But I've heard adoptions can be complicated too.
I know.
I just don't want you to get your heart set on this.
Like, you haven't even met this woman.
But we could? Yeah, I'd be open to to meeting her, as long as we agree it's just a first step.
Absolutely, a first step.
I mean, we don't even know how Jewish this baby is.
Okay, great, I'm gonna go call the lawyer.
All right.
I can't thank you enough for fitting me in, Doctor.
Please, call me Hank.
I will happily call you Hank.
I'm in town for the Rare and Orphan Disease fundraiser, but I have a problem, Hank.
I hope I can help.
Well, I'm afraid this is gonna sound like the classic drug seeker, but the truth is I have to fly commercial from Hong Kong, and when the airport security pulled my cosmetics bag out, the lid to my sleeping pills fell off, and they flew everywhere except with me.
- Hmm.
May I have a listen? - Yeah.
And your prescribing physician can't write a refill? Well, the story is gonna sound fishier and fishier, but my primary is in Bali at his daughter's wedding for the weekend and unavailable.
Oh.
I'm going on two days without a wink.
Okay.
Would you breathe for me? Have you tried melatonin? - Does nada.
- Meditation? - Zilch.
- Chamomile tea? I can drink it all night, and I do.
Nothing puts me out except these.
Mm.
Well, there is another remedy, but that's not an option these days, as I'm sleeping alone.
Ah.
Or not sleeping at all, as the case may be.
Right.
All right.
- I'll call in a prescription.
- Bless you.
For two pills.
That should get you through until your primary's available.
You just want me well rested and in a generous mood for tomorrow's fundraiser.
I have no idea what you mean.
Right on time.
I imagine that the King is a very busy man.
He is, and this angel is yours? Mm-hmm.
This is my daughter, Sashi.
She's promised to behave.
Well, if she is like her mother, I take her at her word.
Sashi, I have a surprise for you.
Oh, my, look at that.
It's a tiny Versailles but baby proof, and the nanny is ready for her guest of honor.
Oh, how thoughtful.
But I'm not sure that she will Well, I guess that she will.
You hired a nanny.
It seemed wise.
Even on the telephone, my father demands undivided attention.
So the good news is you could be discharged this afternoon.
And the bad news? I talked to your parents.
Dad too? He's worried about you.
If it weren't for him, I could have avoided puberty.
They have drugs to do that now, but he thought I was too young to decide.
Yeah.
He mentioned you had some tough times in the past self-injury and you were medicated for depression.
But since I've been Anna, I've felt fine.
I haven't even taken antidepressants for six months.
So you think your bad feelings came from living an identity that was false? Yeah.
See, until recently, doctors labeled transgender patients as having depression, but the mood often lifts as soon as people are free to be themselves.
- How'd you know that? - I did some reading.
I have to keep up with my patients.
So did you talk my parents out of flying in? Oh, no.
You're not the only stubborn one in your family.
They are coming.
Great.
Man, you didn't see her.
It's like it's like adoption got in her head and made her crazy.
How can you say she's being logical? Because the data supports her.
If you see my graph, given your motility numbers and the average amount of time it takes to complete a first adoption, moving ahead on both fronts could significantly speed up the process.
That's exactly my problem.
This is happening too fast.
I-I need more time to consider this.
J-Sac? Oh, God, it is you.
I saw "Sacani" on your lab's website and knew it had to be J-Sac.
Hey.
Jim McGuire.
- Sorry to sorry to interrupt.
- No.
You're not.
Evan R.
Lawson.
Hi.
Jim and I were at Virginia Tech together.
Freshman roomies, J-Sac.
Oh, maybe you don't go by that anymore.
- I never went by that.
- Genius.
Why didn't I ever think of J-Sac? I'm glad you didn't.
Ah, the curse of the undergrad nicknames.
They used to call me Jimbo.
Ah.
But we were all idiots compared to this guy.
I think I was more the butt of your jokes.
Yeah.
I'm ashamed to say there was there was some of that, but we were young and stupid.
Mm.
Oh, you know who asked about you? Sandra Pavlik.
You remember Sandra Pavlik? Yeah, we ran into each other at the phenotyping conference at Johns Hopkins.
- Are you in genetics too? - Well, no.
I'm a nuts and bolts guy just trying to stay ahead of the curve.
You're in sales.
Guilty, and as it turns out, Long Island's part of my territory, so I'm not just here to reminisce about the Hokies.
I was hoping to help you guys outfit your lab.
But hey, you look you look pretty set.
Sorry.
Hokies? Oh, yeah.
The V Tech mascot is a turkey.
- Oh.
- No, the HokieBird, though in common parlance a gobbler, is biologically not a turkey.
Well, we should we should argue it out over dinner.
Well, winning that debate would be satisfying, but unfortunately, I have to work late.
Same old J-Sac.
You never stop.
Tell you what.
Why don't you give me a call if you if you need a break? I'll do that, Jimbo.
And if you have any more questions, Your Highness, please, do not hesitate to call.
Thank you again, Ms.
Katdare.
Well, it sounds like your formidable father is coming around.
Thanks to you, again.
How did I miss that incredible playhouse on my first visit? I had it delivered yesterday.
Just for today? I hope not just for today.
I have some trade negotiations in Manhattan this summer, and I thought I might stay out here.
I've always liked the Hampton beaches, and now there is an added attraction.
Oh? I took the liberty of having some inquiries made at the hospital.
I've been told that you are unattached.
Quami, I am afraid that somehow I've given you the wrong impression when I was treating you as a patient.
On the contrary, if there is one thing I know about you, it is how seriously you take your job, and I respect that.
But our medical relationship is over.
I know you're busy with your daughter as well as your work, but in your free time, I would like us to get to know each other.
For a man who was engaged just a few days ago, you certainly don't waste any time.
I cannot afford to be idle.
My people are waiting for their future queen.
Oh! You don't hear that every day.
Are you free tomorrow night? No.
I'm sorry.
I have other plans.
The Rare and Orphan Diseases fundraiser would you accompany me? The lab was most helpful, and I would like to show my appreciation.
How can I say no to that? They changed their minds.
Um And your parents, are they still Oh, it's just my mom, and she's leaving it to me.
It was my mistake.
I have to handle it.
That must be tough.
She's right.
It was a sin.
We're very religious.
Oh, so are we.
Right? In a way, Just not in the "going to services" way or praying way or the "believing in sin" way.
Yeah, but we have a foundation of right and wrong, and we want to raise our children with a strong moral compass in a loving home.
That's what I meant.
So how are you feeling? I had all my prenatal checks, and I do not do drugs.
Oh, no, no.
We didn't think that you did.
Not at all.
How about the baby's father? Um, does he know you're considering adoption? He's gone, and I'm not considering.
I'm doing it, whether it's you or someone else.
Um, listen, Elán, I feel like we got off on the wrong foot.
We're a little nervous.
Yeah.
Just And I was surprised.
They said you were such a perfect fit.
I didn't think you'd be white.
Well, we are.
Yeah, but if it helps, we feel very guilty about it.
All right.
Nice work.
Take a break and come back for notes.
I am impressed.
It's getting there.
How are your symptoms? - Totally gone.
- Yeah? No calf pain, no shortness of breath? Nope.
And do you know what else? My bunkmate, Cia, found my prescription bottle from the hospital with my old name on it.
How did you handle that? At first, I was freaking.
But then, I decided to tell her the truth, that I'm trans, and she was cool with it.
- That's great.
- I know.
I mean, she had a couple of dumb questions about what I have down there, but I guess you can't blame her for being curious.
Oh, my God.
Well, it sounds like you're having a really good day.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of some not-so-good news.
Your blood work came back.
You have a condition called Factor V Leiden deficiency.
It's a clotting disorder, a tendency for the blood to form clots on its own.
Okay.
When combined with estrogen, it can be dangerous.
But if I keep taking blood thinners You will for a few months, but it won't cure your deficiency.
Anna, I can't recommend you as a candidate for hormone replacement therapy.
I was hoping you'd tell my parents why I shouldn't have to wait.
I know, but given your condition and knowing the risks you would face, I'm afraid I would never advise you to take estrogen.
I'm really sorry.
Thanks for getting the rice separate.
No, that's how it comes.
I know.
I'd forgotten about your food thing.
Remember that time in the cafeteria when you said I had a phone call? Yeah, look, I want to apologize for that.
Mixing up your food was a joke.
I didn't think you'd you'd melt down.
Actually, it was useful.
My parents had catered to me, and I didn't realize how odd it was.
I was a jerk.
It's over.
I always loved that model.
That was our workhorse.
Wait, you work at Criteria Biosystems? Worked.
We had a parting of the ways last year.
This bad boy this was when Criteria was at its peak.
Well, we have the next gen model on order.
Hmm.
Is there something wrong with it? I don't know.
I'm out of the loop.
Why'd you leave? I don't want to badmouth Criteria.
My team and I, we want to be part of something on the more up and up.
Others left with you? Their loss, my gain.
And the next gen model doesn't live up to its promise? Let's just say I hope you didn't put down a down payment.
Oh, Evan would never hear of that.
I mean, the expenditure's approved in the budget, but when we heard there were delays, we held off cutting a check.
Smart.
You know, I wish I'd hooked up with you a few weeks ago.
My guys they've come up with a sequencer so elegant well, not that I'm prejudiced at all, but Is it on the market? We have some prototypes about to go out.
But the bidding on them is already closed or might as well be.
I'll get you on the next round.
What do you mean, "Might as well be"? We make the final decisions Monday.
We're being picky about where they land.
Maybe I could discuss this with Evan and see if we could get a bid in quickly.
Do you have any material you could share? Absolutely.
You really think Evan would take a look over the weekend? If I ask him to.
The expenditure's already approved.
Right.
And if you do jump in, a bank transfer takes 72 hours to clear, so you wouldn't be risking anything.
So if someone on the board disagreed, you'd simply stop the wire transfer.
No harm, no foul.
Same old Jimbo.
You never stop selling.
She's right in here.
Okay.
Anna, are you okay? I told you not to call him! It's okay, Anna.
It's okay.
I heard what happened.
I just want to make sure you're okay.
I'm so sorry, Anna.
I shouldn't have told.
Thank you, Cia.
If you could just give us a moment? Thanks.
Hey, do you know who hit you? It was dark.
Well, thank goodness your friend came along when she did.
Listen.
I'd like to take a look at you.
Don't touch me! You were attacked, Anna.
It was a shock.
It was frightening, but you're safe now.
Okay? I'm gonna take care of you.
Now, if you could just give me your arm, I need to get a pulse.
Thank you.
Okay.
I need you to roll over.
That's it, easy.
Okay.
Now, they hit you in the face.
Did they knock you down? Did you hit your head or lose consciousness? They kicked me.
They kicked you.
Where? Anna, listen to me.
Your heart is racing, and your blood pressure's elevated.
I need to check your abdomen.
Okay? Okay, thank you.
With the symptoms you're having and the blood thinners you've been taking, there is a risk of internal bleeding, okay? We may need to take you back to the hospital.
No, I don't want to go to the hospital! The hospital doesn't help me.
No one helps me! I know.
I know.
I hear you.
Anna, did they kick you here? Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Listen to me.
I didn't see any sign of bleeding in your belly, but there is a bruise right here above your kidneys.
If your adrenal gland is ruptured, it would send you into adrenal crisis, flooding your system with adrenaline, which would account for your panic and your soaring blood pressure and heart rate.
Okay? I'm gonna give you some beta blockers, which will help reverse that.
I'm gonna stay here and keep an eye on you.
If your vitals settle down, we can skip that trip to the hospital.
- Okay? - Okay.
Okay, good.
We'll get you cleaned up.
We'll get some ice on your cheek, and over time, your adrenal gland will heal all on its own.
Lucky me.
- How you holding up? - I'm fine.
I mean, we knew it was a long shot, or at least you did.
I had some reservations.
So did the birth mother.
But I understand.
It's it's complicated.
It's not that complicated.
While we were failing to convince that girl what great parents we'd be, I realized something.
Adoption could totally work for us.
Any baby lucky enough to have you as a mom will be the right baby for us.
So however it happens, we're gonna do this, okay? I love you.
Now, go.
Do your job.
- Pry open some wallets.
- Um - Who's that with Divya? - Ah.
That's Prince Charming.
I just met him.
I'll fill you in later.
Go.
Go.
Does your family have a place in London? Hampstead Heath.
But these days, I feel more at home in Paris.
- Ah.
- Do you like the 4th? Oh, I love the Marais, but I haven't been to Paris in years.
And I thought you could do no wrong.
How can you account for such a serious lapse? Will you educate Sashi in Europe? We live here now.
But am I wrong? This is a summer business.
It seems ideal that during the school year, you can live wherever Sashi can excel.
Honestly, I've been more focused lately on the here and now.
Oh.
Tell me about it.
Just some custody details I need to settle with Sashi's father.
Hmm.
Well, I won't pry until we have more champagne.
Check, check, check, check.
Hi.
If I may have your attention, guys.
So we've reached the live auction section of tonight's festivities, and I just wanted to warm you up.
He's not here yet, but I wanted to just talk a little bit Thank you again for your generous contribution.
Yeah.
About that I was surprised you were willing, but I admire you for it.
I've been working on myself too this summer, getting out of my comfort zone.
Growth is good.
Jeremiah, did you just handle me? Oh, my God, there he is.
Ladies and gentlemen, the man of the hour, the Hamptons' most beloved concierge doctor and biggest uncaught whale of a catch trust me here my brother, Dr.
"Call Me Hank" Lawson.
Put your hands together for him.
Give him a warm welcome.
Whoo-hoo! Thank you.
Thank you so much.
So first of all, thank you so much for being here.
Sure.
And, ladies, I want you to feast your eyes on and not only ladies.
Ladies and gentlemen, anyone can bid, either on behalf of yourself or a friend or neighbor as long as they're single.
But I'd like to start the bidding now at $5,000.
Okay, that's way too much money.
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
$5,000.
So just because these diseases are rare doesn't mean that your donations have to be.
Do I hear 5,000? - I'll bid 100.
- 100.
Sold! Uh, unless anyone else wants to bid.
Evan, take the yes.
Sold to the beautiful Ms.
Houston.
Thank you so much.
Donations are exceeding our expectations.
It's bad luck to count the box office before the curtain falls, Jeremiah.
That said, we're killing it.
Oh, by the way, after your call, I mentioned Jim McGuire to another rep.
He'd heard that Jim didn't leave Criteria.
He was fired.
- Are you saying Jim lied? - Not necessarily.
When a high-profile employee exits, there's often a rush to control the news.
This isn't news.
This happened last year.
My guy said last month.
Does that matter? You can't build a new sequencer in a month.
- Oh.
- I'll handle it.
Evan, Mr.
Thayer has a question about the tax implications of an estate donation.
Okay.
I'll catch up with you.
Thank you for your generous donation.
So now can I get more pills? Uh, how do you feel about dinner instead? I have been known to have dinner on occasion.
Okay.
So I'm sorry if I'm awkward at this.
It's just that I've never been bought before.
No, I should hope not.
- I don't go for used.
- Yeah.
Well, thank you for saving me the embarrassment of not fetching top dollar.
Well, honestly, I feel fortunate to be able to support such an extraordinary cause.
I'm a sucker for hope.
Medicine brings hope to the hopeless.
Well, we try.
I have a feeling you do more than try.
Am I right, Hank? I got to go.
I enjoy a good polo match as much as any previously colonized elite, and I would never presume to pass judgment on the IQ of an underwear model.
But any man who'd let you slip through his fingers must be an utter fool.
There was no slipping.
I just realized I was looking for more.
Look here.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I need to tell you.
Contrary to what you've heard, I am seeing someone.
It's at the early stages, even though we've known each other for a long time, and neither of us has been ready to commit or even go public yet.
It's complicated.
I'm not discouraged by competition, and I'll take it as a positive sign that you were curious enough to let me kiss you before revealing your status.
You're not gonna make this easy for me, are you? It's good to be Prince.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
Hey, you came.
Can you stay for the performance? I wouldn't miss it.
I was really glad to hear you stuck it out.
Are you kidding? I don't run away.
This is my life.
And I expect great things from you.
You sound like you've already met my parents.
Are they here? And they want to thank you.
Come on.
I'll introduce you.
Yeah, of course we will, but, um, before we do, I've been thinking.
In light of what happened last night You mean my getting beat up? And knowing that I left you feeling hopeless.
It's okay.
Not for me, it's not.
See, doctors weigh risks all the time.
It's part of our job, and I've started to realize that the risk factors in your life are significant.
More than I imagined at first.
You're a brave girl.
If you still want to try taking estrogen, I'll work with you at a lower dose combined with continued blood thinners.
We'll find you a great specialist and see if we can find a tolerable dose.
And if we can't? There are other courses to consider, like implanting an IVC filter if clotting issues continue.
The bottom line is, if you want to move forward, understanding all the risks, I will support you and do what I can to get your parents on board too.
- Really? - Really.
Can a girl give you a hug? This girl can.
Thank you.
Well, that's good.
How much did we rake in if you include promised gifts? Are you kidding? Oh, my God.
We surpassed our goal by 50%.
Hello? Yeah.
Thank thank you so much.
That's great.
All right.
Bye-bye.
Oh, my God.
That's amazing.
We felt exactly the same.
Yes.
We agree.
We agree.
Absolutely.
Of course, of course.
Thank you for calling.
Okay.
We'll do that.
Tomorrow.
All right.
What? She wants us.
- Who? - Elán.
She wants us.
To have her baby? We're gonna be parents.
Is that okay? It's perfect.
It could not be more perfect.
We're gonna have a baby.
I'm gonna be a pops.
Wow.
Strumming on the old banjo Say, Dinah, won't you blow Dinah, won't you blow You're back.
And you're a genius.
I am.
I paid Nate double to set this thing up and then sent our HandyManny home early.
Oh, look at you.
Oh, are the twins here? Dropped them at Karen's.
How was the gala? It was great financially.
- Those are the best kind.
- Yes, yes.
I mean, really big donors.
But none of them brought these.
Oh, no.
Not What else? Butterscotch pecan.
My weakness.
But I ate way too much tonight, and I'm totally exhausted.
Plus, I have an early start tomorrow.
Mm, Mondays are rough, but these could take the edge off.
Could we save them for tomorrow? Only if I take them with me.
I do know you.
You do.
Bye, my little girl.
Hank? Am I early? Did you oh, you actually thought you had Well, I texted, and you said, "Perfect.
" Oh, that was you? I didn't recognize the number.
No wonder my masseuse was so confused when I called to cancel.
Wait.
So you weren't expecting I mean, this whole date thing was more I don't know.
- Conceptual.
- An excuse to write a check.
Check always does it.
And now I know.
Sorry to interrupt your workout, and if you could just keep it mum that the Hamptons' most eligible bachelor is totally clueless, I would appreciate it.
Yeah, if this actually got out, it could lower your price.
Yeah.
Well, it was nice to meet you, Olympia.
Thanks again for your donation, and have a great evening.
I did have a great evening.
Thank you, Hank.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Yeah, me too.
This was the best date I've had all month, actually.
Well, I should go.
Well, you're already here.
Why don't you come in? Yeah, okay.
What do you mean there's nothing you can do? You're the bank.
Yes.
Of course I've tried to contact Mr.
McGuire on his phone, but it's inactive.
There must be something you what about the 72-hour hold? It's a 24-hour hold? So the funds would Mm-hmm.
I see.
Okay.
Thanks.
Divya, if you get this, will you Okay.
Okay.
Really? We sequenced and framed the DNA of all the lab's major donors for the gift bags at our upcoming gala.
Thank you.
It's very thoughtful.
But yours is just a gift.
I can't believe this got done so fast.
This sequencer is already obsolete.
The newer model will handle dozens of genomes in a single day.
So what does all this mean? Um, the the nucleotides, which are joined by each rung on the double helix in a strand of DNA can only be paired cytosine to guanine, or C to G.
Yeah, that's great, but I meant how does my DNA look? Will I be able to have a healthy baby? Oh, um, I have no idea.
You'll have to ask the geneticist.
And five, six, seven, eight.
The camp nurse totally overreacted.
I don't need that oxygen.
Okay, but the nurse was right to call me.
Calf pain followed by shortness of breath can be signs of a blood clot.
This won't take too long.
I hope not.
We only have two more rehearsal days left, and like a genius, I changed the whole ending last night.
- You're a choreographer? - Trying to be.
Uh, sorry, Doc.
Guys, take that again.
From the lift.
Okay.
Ah.
Yep, there it is.
- Um, you see that spot? - Uh-huh.
Right there.
That's a DVT a deep vein thrombosis a clot.
Anna, do you take birth control pills? Why would that matter? Well, estrogen can cause clots.
Anyway, I don't.
Okay, I'll start you on blood thinners, and you'll need a chest CT.
Just a second, Doc.
Guys! The turn into the lift into the fall should be what impulse? Here.
Okay.
Just a second.
Okay, so you're gonna bring yourself around Cia.
Then you're gonna use the momentum to bring you down, and then, you're gonna follow him up and around and - Oh, my God! - Anna? Anna? Here we go.
Here we go.
That's it.
It's okay, it's okay.
Just breathe.
Is she okay? She's gonna be fine, but run and ask a nurse to call 911.
Thank you.
Let me just get Your shortness of breath could be a sign that clots have broken off and scattered to your lungs.
Anna, I have to ask.
How long have you been a girl? - Hey, Anna.
- Hey.
So the chest CT confirmed that you have pulmonary emboli.
You'll have to stay overnight, but the blood thinners are already working.
We'll get you back to your dancers as soon as possible.
- Thank you.
- You got it.
Um, so, Anna, an ER doctor will be coming to do a full exam, including a pelvic, and an admissions officer needs to help clarify your parents' health insurance.
There is no Anna on their policy.
They only list an Abe.
Yeah, that's out of date.
So you were born a boy? No, the ER doctor won't agree, but I've always been a girl.
Got you.
How long have you been Anna? On and off at home since I was little, but everywhere full time starting this year.
And at camp? It's been so cool.
No one there ever knew me before, so to them, I'm just me.
How did you guess? Was it my voice? I'm a doctor.
It's my job to notice things, like the waxing rash on your chest.
But if I weren't treating you, I would never have known.
Yeah.
I was always teased for being too feminine.
Hmm.
Do your parents know that you're taking estrogen? My mom tries to be supportive, but she insisted I see a therapist.
Mm-hmm.
Then made me promise not to start hormones until I turn 17 and not to push for surgery yet.
But A few months ago, I started taking estrogen behind her back.
Self-administering? It's just a pill.
Well, sometimes it's not that simple.
We should run some tests.
We need to go back to 2C.
No way.
No going back.
So Sashi has to sit upside down.
Yeah.
Is that a problem? I thought I could finish this before I left.
I'm gonna finish this later.
Once we're out of her hair is what Mommy means.
You said it.
You sure you and Sashi don't want to join us? You mean come out to your parents that we are seeing each other? Your parents who sued me for breaking our engagement? You're right, it's too soon.
We don't want to rush this.
Everything is going so well.
I just I don't want to rock the boat.
Anyway, I can't miss the lab fundraiser.
I'll miss you.
I'll miss you too, but I promise that I will have conquered the baby kinder jumper seat by the time you get back.
Dear God, make it so.
All right, guys, let's go.
Come on.
Accounting for time zones, Boris' fundraiser in London will actually close four hours before ours begins.
Not that it's a competition.
Entirely.
The two of you have become quite a team organizing this gala.
Oh, not just the gala.
You should see us work Big Pharma.
And the medical device reps.
- Mm-hmm.
- Let me guess.
You handle the wining and dining, and Jeremiah knows what you're actually buying.
You would be surprised.
This guy's learned a thing or two about the art of the schmooze.
Evan's a good teacher.
And since I don't have time to refute that, I'll just say thanks for the briefing.
Actually, we know how little you care about the board and being on a gala committee, so we hate to ask you this, but we could use a favor.
Two it's two favors.
- Right.
- How can I help? Well, one of our biggest potential donors, Olympia Houston you know who Olympia Houston is.
No, but I'm guessing she's rich.
Oh, my God, you're amazing.
Yes, she's rich, but she's also not feeling tip top, so we're hoping that you could see her, like, ASAP since we need her check-writing hand in perfect condition by Sunday.
Yeah, of course I can see a patient.
- That's no favor.
- Even better.
So we only have one favor to ask.
The highlight of the gala is a big-ticket auction, so we've done some research on which doctor's services would bring a high price, and guess who is at the top of the list.
You.
I was gonna guess that.
Listen, guys, I never meant to give the impression I can't be bothered.
I support rare and genetic disease research and all the work you're doing.
Of course you can auction off my services.
That's great.
Hey, maybe we should let him know Ah, Jeremiah, what do we do? - We take the yes.
- We take the yes.
- Can I leave now? - Uh-huh.
Okay.
Hey.
Whoa.
What happened over here? The plants were wilted.
So you moved the living room? No, no, I realized if we move the table over here and then swap - Is something burning? - My soup.
Ah! Oh, no.
Um, wha Did you hear something upsetting from the geneticist? No, no, not upsetting.
Well, you know, maybe a little upsetting but not disturbing upsetting, just upsetting.
- Paige? - Yeah? Hi.
Come with me.
Sit.
Tell, from the beginning.
Okay.
Well, I was really lucky the doctor could work me in, but honestly, I think she saw my name and knew I was your wife, and then suddenly, she has an opening, like Okay, let's skip the beginning.
How was the ending? Like, how are you okay? Oh, yeah, my DNA markers seem fine.
There's no propensity for any known genetic diseases.
Oh, thank goodness.
Yeah.
Ooh.
There is one funny thing.
Turns out my mitochondrial DNA is 10% to 14% Ashkenazi, which means Jewish? Paige Collins Lawson is a member of my tribe? Was I not in it before? I gotta call Dad.
- Please don't call your dad.
- Okay.
But I gotta call Hank.
If you call Hank and tell him I'm 10% to 14% Jewish while I'm trying to tell you something earth-shattering, I will 10% to 14% divorce you.
Got it, sorry.
Go on.
Well, it turns out, since Dr.
Parks reads the hospital blogs, she knows about your issues with low Motility.
Do we have to say it every day? Anyway, she knows, and now she also knows that I'm adopted.
And her partner is a lawyer who handles adoptions, so she asked if we were considering adopting.
Which we're not.
- Are we? - Well, no.
- No, we haven't been.
- Right.
But it turns out she only asked because there's this young girl who's seven months pregnant, and the couple who was adopting her little girl had some kind of change of heart, and so So Well, I told her we'd just started trying to get pregnant, and it wasn't the right time.
But ever since I left her office, I've just had this feeling, and I've been thinking about whatever it was that made my parents decide to adopt when they did and then to choose me, and how once they did, my whole life happened, including you, like it was fate.
And I don't know.
It's a little girl.
You know, we have a 50-50 shot at making our own little girl, right? I know, I know, and I wouldn't want to stop trying to have our own babies, but this has landed on our doorstep for some reason.
Well, it's a new idea to consider, that's for sure.
I know.
But I've heard adoptions can be complicated too.
I know.
I just don't want you to get your heart set on this.
Like, you haven't even met this woman.
But we could? Yeah, I'd be open to to meeting her, as long as we agree it's just a first step.
Absolutely, a first step.
I mean, we don't even know how Jewish this baby is.
Okay, great, I'm gonna go call the lawyer.
All right.
I can't thank you enough for fitting me in, Doctor.
Please, call me Hank.
I will happily call you Hank.
I'm in town for the Rare and Orphan Disease fundraiser, but I have a problem, Hank.
I hope I can help.
Well, I'm afraid this is gonna sound like the classic drug seeker, but the truth is I have to fly commercial from Hong Kong, and when the airport security pulled my cosmetics bag out, the lid to my sleeping pills fell off, and they flew everywhere except with me.
- Hmm.
May I have a listen? - Yeah.
And your prescribing physician can't write a refill? Well, the story is gonna sound fishier and fishier, but my primary is in Bali at his daughter's wedding for the weekend and unavailable.
Oh.
I'm going on two days without a wink.
Okay.
Would you breathe for me? Have you tried melatonin? - Does nada.
- Meditation? - Zilch.
- Chamomile tea? I can drink it all night, and I do.
Nothing puts me out except these.
Mm.
Well, there is another remedy, but that's not an option these days, as I'm sleeping alone.
Ah.
Or not sleeping at all, as the case may be.
Right.
All right.
- I'll call in a prescription.
- Bless you.
For two pills.
That should get you through until your primary's available.
You just want me well rested and in a generous mood for tomorrow's fundraiser.
I have no idea what you mean.
Right on time.
I imagine that the King is a very busy man.
He is, and this angel is yours? Mm-hmm.
This is my daughter, Sashi.
She's promised to behave.
Well, if she is like her mother, I take her at her word.
Sashi, I have a surprise for you.
Oh, my, look at that.
It's a tiny Versailles but baby proof, and the nanny is ready for her guest of honor.
Oh, how thoughtful.
But I'm not sure that she will Well, I guess that she will.
You hired a nanny.
It seemed wise.
Even on the telephone, my father demands undivided attention.
So the good news is you could be discharged this afternoon.
And the bad news? I talked to your parents.
Dad too? He's worried about you.
If it weren't for him, I could have avoided puberty.
They have drugs to do that now, but he thought I was too young to decide.
Yeah.
He mentioned you had some tough times in the past self-injury and you were medicated for depression.
But since I've been Anna, I've felt fine.
I haven't even taken antidepressants for six months.
So you think your bad feelings came from living an identity that was false? Yeah.
See, until recently, doctors labeled transgender patients as having depression, but the mood often lifts as soon as people are free to be themselves.
- How'd you know that? - I did some reading.
I have to keep up with my patients.
So did you talk my parents out of flying in? Oh, no.
You're not the only stubborn one in your family.
They are coming.
Great.
Man, you didn't see her.
It's like it's like adoption got in her head and made her crazy.
How can you say she's being logical? Because the data supports her.
If you see my graph, given your motility numbers and the average amount of time it takes to complete a first adoption, moving ahead on both fronts could significantly speed up the process.
That's exactly my problem.
This is happening too fast.
I-I need more time to consider this.
J-Sac? Oh, God, it is you.
I saw "Sacani" on your lab's website and knew it had to be J-Sac.
Hey.
Jim McGuire.
- Sorry to sorry to interrupt.
- No.
You're not.
Evan R.
Lawson.
Hi.
Jim and I were at Virginia Tech together.
Freshman roomies, J-Sac.
Oh, maybe you don't go by that anymore.
- I never went by that.
- Genius.
Why didn't I ever think of J-Sac? I'm glad you didn't.
Ah, the curse of the undergrad nicknames.
They used to call me Jimbo.
Ah.
But we were all idiots compared to this guy.
I think I was more the butt of your jokes.
Yeah.
I'm ashamed to say there was there was some of that, but we were young and stupid.
Mm.
Oh, you know who asked about you? Sandra Pavlik.
You remember Sandra Pavlik? Yeah, we ran into each other at the phenotyping conference at Johns Hopkins.
- Are you in genetics too? - Well, no.
I'm a nuts and bolts guy just trying to stay ahead of the curve.
You're in sales.
Guilty, and as it turns out, Long Island's part of my territory, so I'm not just here to reminisce about the Hokies.
I was hoping to help you guys outfit your lab.
But hey, you look you look pretty set.
Sorry.
Hokies? Oh, yeah.
The V Tech mascot is a turkey.
- Oh.
- No, the HokieBird, though in common parlance a gobbler, is biologically not a turkey.
Well, we should we should argue it out over dinner.
Well, winning that debate would be satisfying, but unfortunately, I have to work late.
Same old J-Sac.
You never stop.
Tell you what.
Why don't you give me a call if you if you need a break? I'll do that, Jimbo.
And if you have any more questions, Your Highness, please, do not hesitate to call.
Thank you again, Ms.
Katdare.
Well, it sounds like your formidable father is coming around.
Thanks to you, again.
How did I miss that incredible playhouse on my first visit? I had it delivered yesterday.
Just for today? I hope not just for today.
I have some trade negotiations in Manhattan this summer, and I thought I might stay out here.
I've always liked the Hampton beaches, and now there is an added attraction.
Oh? I took the liberty of having some inquiries made at the hospital.
I've been told that you are unattached.
Quami, I am afraid that somehow I've given you the wrong impression when I was treating you as a patient.
On the contrary, if there is one thing I know about you, it is how seriously you take your job, and I respect that.
But our medical relationship is over.
I know you're busy with your daughter as well as your work, but in your free time, I would like us to get to know each other.
For a man who was engaged just a few days ago, you certainly don't waste any time.
I cannot afford to be idle.
My people are waiting for their future queen.
Oh! You don't hear that every day.
Are you free tomorrow night? No.
I'm sorry.
I have other plans.
The Rare and Orphan Diseases fundraiser would you accompany me? The lab was most helpful, and I would like to show my appreciation.
How can I say no to that? They changed their minds.
Um And your parents, are they still Oh, it's just my mom, and she's leaving it to me.
It was my mistake.
I have to handle it.
That must be tough.
She's right.
It was a sin.
We're very religious.
Oh, so are we.
Right? In a way, Just not in the "going to services" way or praying way or the "believing in sin" way.
Yeah, but we have a foundation of right and wrong, and we want to raise our children with a strong moral compass in a loving home.
That's what I meant.
So how are you feeling? I had all my prenatal checks, and I do not do drugs.
Oh, no, no.
We didn't think that you did.
Not at all.
How about the baby's father? Um, does he know you're considering adoption? He's gone, and I'm not considering.
I'm doing it, whether it's you or someone else.
Um, listen, Elán, I feel like we got off on the wrong foot.
We're a little nervous.
Yeah.
Just And I was surprised.
They said you were such a perfect fit.
I didn't think you'd be white.
Well, we are.
Yeah, but if it helps, we feel very guilty about it.
All right.
Nice work.
Take a break and come back for notes.
I am impressed.
It's getting there.
How are your symptoms? - Totally gone.
- Yeah? No calf pain, no shortness of breath? Nope.
And do you know what else? My bunkmate, Cia, found my prescription bottle from the hospital with my old name on it.
How did you handle that? At first, I was freaking.
But then, I decided to tell her the truth, that I'm trans, and she was cool with it.
- That's great.
- I know.
I mean, she had a couple of dumb questions about what I have down there, but I guess you can't blame her for being curious.
Oh, my God.
Well, it sounds like you're having a really good day.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of some not-so-good news.
Your blood work came back.
You have a condition called Factor V Leiden deficiency.
It's a clotting disorder, a tendency for the blood to form clots on its own.
Okay.
When combined with estrogen, it can be dangerous.
But if I keep taking blood thinners You will for a few months, but it won't cure your deficiency.
Anna, I can't recommend you as a candidate for hormone replacement therapy.
I was hoping you'd tell my parents why I shouldn't have to wait.
I know, but given your condition and knowing the risks you would face, I'm afraid I would never advise you to take estrogen.
I'm really sorry.
Thanks for getting the rice separate.
No, that's how it comes.
I know.
I'd forgotten about your food thing.
Remember that time in the cafeteria when you said I had a phone call? Yeah, look, I want to apologize for that.
Mixing up your food was a joke.
I didn't think you'd you'd melt down.
Actually, it was useful.
My parents had catered to me, and I didn't realize how odd it was.
I was a jerk.
It's over.
I always loved that model.
That was our workhorse.
Wait, you work at Criteria Biosystems? Worked.
We had a parting of the ways last year.
This bad boy this was when Criteria was at its peak.
Well, we have the next gen model on order.
Hmm.
Is there something wrong with it? I don't know.
I'm out of the loop.
Why'd you leave? I don't want to badmouth Criteria.
My team and I, we want to be part of something on the more up and up.
Others left with you? Their loss, my gain.
And the next gen model doesn't live up to its promise? Let's just say I hope you didn't put down a down payment.
Oh, Evan would never hear of that.
I mean, the expenditure's approved in the budget, but when we heard there were delays, we held off cutting a check.
Smart.
You know, I wish I'd hooked up with you a few weeks ago.
My guys they've come up with a sequencer so elegant well, not that I'm prejudiced at all, but Is it on the market? We have some prototypes about to go out.
But the bidding on them is already closed or might as well be.
I'll get you on the next round.
What do you mean, "Might as well be"? We make the final decisions Monday.
We're being picky about where they land.
Maybe I could discuss this with Evan and see if we could get a bid in quickly.
Do you have any material you could share? Absolutely.
You really think Evan would take a look over the weekend? If I ask him to.
The expenditure's already approved.
Right.
And if you do jump in, a bank transfer takes 72 hours to clear, so you wouldn't be risking anything.
So if someone on the board disagreed, you'd simply stop the wire transfer.
No harm, no foul.
Same old Jimbo.
You never stop selling.
She's right in here.
Okay.
Anna, are you okay? I told you not to call him! It's okay, Anna.
It's okay.
I heard what happened.
I just want to make sure you're okay.
I'm so sorry, Anna.
I shouldn't have told.
Thank you, Cia.
If you could just give us a moment? Thanks.
Hey, do you know who hit you? It was dark.
Well, thank goodness your friend came along when she did.
Listen.
I'd like to take a look at you.
Don't touch me! You were attacked, Anna.
It was a shock.
It was frightening, but you're safe now.
Okay? I'm gonna take care of you.
Now, if you could just give me your arm, I need to get a pulse.
Thank you.
Okay.
I need you to roll over.
That's it, easy.
Okay.
Now, they hit you in the face.
Did they knock you down? Did you hit your head or lose consciousness? They kicked me.
They kicked you.
Where? Anna, listen to me.
Your heart is racing, and your blood pressure's elevated.
I need to check your abdomen.
Okay? Okay, thank you.
With the symptoms you're having and the blood thinners you've been taking, there is a risk of internal bleeding, okay? We may need to take you back to the hospital.
No, I don't want to go to the hospital! The hospital doesn't help me.
No one helps me! I know.
I know.
I hear you.
Anna, did they kick you here? Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Listen to me.
I didn't see any sign of bleeding in your belly, but there is a bruise right here above your kidneys.
If your adrenal gland is ruptured, it would send you into adrenal crisis, flooding your system with adrenaline, which would account for your panic and your soaring blood pressure and heart rate.
Okay? I'm gonna give you some beta blockers, which will help reverse that.
I'm gonna stay here and keep an eye on you.
If your vitals settle down, we can skip that trip to the hospital.
- Okay? - Okay.
Okay, good.
We'll get you cleaned up.
We'll get some ice on your cheek, and over time, your adrenal gland will heal all on its own.
Lucky me.
- How you holding up? - I'm fine.
I mean, we knew it was a long shot, or at least you did.
I had some reservations.
So did the birth mother.
But I understand.
It's it's complicated.
It's not that complicated.
While we were failing to convince that girl what great parents we'd be, I realized something.
Adoption could totally work for us.
Any baby lucky enough to have you as a mom will be the right baby for us.
So however it happens, we're gonna do this, okay? I love you.
Now, go.
Do your job.
- Pry open some wallets.
- Um - Who's that with Divya? - Ah.
That's Prince Charming.
I just met him.
I'll fill you in later.
Go.
Go.
Does your family have a place in London? Hampstead Heath.
But these days, I feel more at home in Paris.
- Ah.
- Do you like the 4th? Oh, I love the Marais, but I haven't been to Paris in years.
And I thought you could do no wrong.
How can you account for such a serious lapse? Will you educate Sashi in Europe? We live here now.
But am I wrong? This is a summer business.
It seems ideal that during the school year, you can live wherever Sashi can excel.
Honestly, I've been more focused lately on the here and now.
Oh.
Tell me about it.
Just some custody details I need to settle with Sashi's father.
Hmm.
Well, I won't pry until we have more champagne.
Check, check, check, check.
Hi.
If I may have your attention, guys.
So we've reached the live auction section of tonight's festivities, and I just wanted to warm you up.
He's not here yet, but I wanted to just talk a little bit Thank you again for your generous contribution.
Yeah.
About that I was surprised you were willing, but I admire you for it.
I've been working on myself too this summer, getting out of my comfort zone.
Growth is good.
Jeremiah, did you just handle me? Oh, my God, there he is.
Ladies and gentlemen, the man of the hour, the Hamptons' most beloved concierge doctor and biggest uncaught whale of a catch trust me here my brother, Dr.
"Call Me Hank" Lawson.
Put your hands together for him.
Give him a warm welcome.
Whoo-hoo! Thank you.
Thank you so much.
So first of all, thank you so much for being here.
Sure.
And, ladies, I want you to feast your eyes on and not only ladies.
Ladies and gentlemen, anyone can bid, either on behalf of yourself or a friend or neighbor as long as they're single.
But I'd like to start the bidding now at $5,000.
Okay, that's way too much money.
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
$5,000.
So just because these diseases are rare doesn't mean that your donations have to be.
Do I hear 5,000? - I'll bid 100.
- 100.
Sold! Uh, unless anyone else wants to bid.
Evan, take the yes.
Sold to the beautiful Ms.
Houston.
Thank you so much.
Donations are exceeding our expectations.
It's bad luck to count the box office before the curtain falls, Jeremiah.
That said, we're killing it.
Oh, by the way, after your call, I mentioned Jim McGuire to another rep.
He'd heard that Jim didn't leave Criteria.
He was fired.
- Are you saying Jim lied? - Not necessarily.
When a high-profile employee exits, there's often a rush to control the news.
This isn't news.
This happened last year.
My guy said last month.
Does that matter? You can't build a new sequencer in a month.
- Oh.
- I'll handle it.
Evan, Mr.
Thayer has a question about the tax implications of an estate donation.
Okay.
I'll catch up with you.
Thank you for your generous donation.
So now can I get more pills? Uh, how do you feel about dinner instead? I have been known to have dinner on occasion.
Okay.
So I'm sorry if I'm awkward at this.
It's just that I've never been bought before.
No, I should hope not.
- I don't go for used.
- Yeah.
Well, thank you for saving me the embarrassment of not fetching top dollar.
Well, honestly, I feel fortunate to be able to support such an extraordinary cause.
I'm a sucker for hope.
Medicine brings hope to the hopeless.
Well, we try.
I have a feeling you do more than try.
Am I right, Hank? I got to go.
I enjoy a good polo match as much as any previously colonized elite, and I would never presume to pass judgment on the IQ of an underwear model.
But any man who'd let you slip through his fingers must be an utter fool.
There was no slipping.
I just realized I was looking for more.
Look here.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I need to tell you.
Contrary to what you've heard, I am seeing someone.
It's at the early stages, even though we've known each other for a long time, and neither of us has been ready to commit or even go public yet.
It's complicated.
I'm not discouraged by competition, and I'll take it as a positive sign that you were curious enough to let me kiss you before revealing your status.
You're not gonna make this easy for me, are you? It's good to be Prince.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
Hey, you came.
Can you stay for the performance? I wouldn't miss it.
I was really glad to hear you stuck it out.
Are you kidding? I don't run away.
This is my life.
And I expect great things from you.
You sound like you've already met my parents.
Are they here? And they want to thank you.
Come on.
I'll introduce you.
Yeah, of course we will, but, um, before we do, I've been thinking.
In light of what happened last night You mean my getting beat up? And knowing that I left you feeling hopeless.
It's okay.
Not for me, it's not.
See, doctors weigh risks all the time.
It's part of our job, and I've started to realize that the risk factors in your life are significant.
More than I imagined at first.
You're a brave girl.
If you still want to try taking estrogen, I'll work with you at a lower dose combined with continued blood thinners.
We'll find you a great specialist and see if we can find a tolerable dose.
And if we can't? There are other courses to consider, like implanting an IVC filter if clotting issues continue.
The bottom line is, if you want to move forward, understanding all the risks, I will support you and do what I can to get your parents on board too.
- Really? - Really.
Can a girl give you a hug? This girl can.
Thank you.
Well, that's good.
How much did we rake in if you include promised gifts? Are you kidding? Oh, my God.
We surpassed our goal by 50%.

Check always does it.
