Royal Pains s08e01 Episode Script

1 Previously on "Royal Pains" I want a baby.
I want a baby too.
My, uh, motility and sperm count are low.
Low isn't no.
Hank, I want to apply to medical school.
Jeremiah came to see me a few days ago.
He was quite distraught.
I'm experiencing regression.
I know.
I've either dated the wrong women or screwed up the right ones.
Maybe the reason I can't find the right person is because of me.
It's not you.
I'm just not doing coffee these days.
I just got out of a not-so-good relationship, so Right.
Will you marry me? - (PHONE RINGING) - (HUMMING) Hey.
Today, Henry, is a very big day.
I know, it is.
A day I never saw coming.
You and me both.
In fact, I have a new outlook on the world.
Great.
Do you have the rings too? Yeah, right here in my pocket.
(PHONE BEEPS) Ev, I gotta take this.
Okay, can I rehearse my speech for you really quick? (PHONE BEEPS) Hello? Henry? Diana, how are you feeling today? I'm on my way.
Keep talking to me.
Where are you right now? Diana! Are you in there? Diana! Sorry, Dr.
Lawson, you have not been granted entry.
(GRUNTS) - (ALARM BLARING) - Illegal entry! Illegal entry! - Diana! - Illegal entry! Illegal entry! Diana.
Illegal entry! Illegal entry! -Illegal ent - (BEEP) Overdressed for a house call.
Maybe a bit, and I had to kick Chas in the face to get in.
Sorry about that.
He had it coming.
Smartass.
So I called the hospital for your biopsy results, and they said they had no record of it.
Maybe because you left before they could do it? (WHEEZING) Your breathing is labored.
I need to do an ultrasound.
(WHEEZES AND COUGHS) Diana, are you coughing up bl (WHEEZES) Yeah, this is Hank Lawson.
I have a female with a hemothorax.
You're late.
And if you needed a splash of color, I could've loaned you a pocket square.
Oh.
This is why I'm late.
I had a patient emergency.
Whoa.
Is the patient okay? She's at the hospital, which we need to discuss later.
Maybe I can go wash it off real quick? Yeah, don't worry about the stain.
We have a bigger problem.
Anybody home? Where are my boys? - Dad! - Boys.
- Whoa.
- (LAUGHS) Didn't you have a speaking engagement in Vermont? (LAUGHS) Oh, yes, I did, and then I canceled it, came here to the Hamptons, 'cause I've got something so much more important.
What's more important than giving people in Vermont something to do? (LAUGHS) I got big news.
B-I-G, very big, big, big news.
Wow.
Please don't tell us we have another secret sibling.
No! Ready? I'm getting married! - What? - Married? What To Ms.
Newberg, right? Yeah, I popped the question last night.
- That's great.
- Wait, wait, wait.
You got in last night? Why didn't you call us? You know what, I wanted to, Hank.
You were on my mind, but I got distracted.
I was in the moment.
Well, you know how that is.
Of course I do.
When's the big day? Day after tomorrow.
Whoa.
Day after tomorrow? What's the rush? That's a little sudden, no? Yeah, and yet it can't come soon enough.
I am so ready for this, boys.
- Dad! - Come here.
Bring it in.
- sync and correctins by Caio - And that is our schedule for the first day of this fine new summer, which means HankMed's back.
Hank, are you sure that you don't want me to take your morning patient? Yeah, totally sure.
Why? If you want to spend time with your father before the wedding Yeah, no, Evan's already got that covered.
Yeah, I'm throwing him a little bachelor party here tomorrow night.
It's gonna get crazy! Trust me, it's not gonna get that crazy.
Trust me, I'm not worried about it.
You could be a little worried about it.
So it's business as usual until then, right? Okay, so then I have time to find a dress.
Oh, you know what, don't go overboard on wardrobe.
It's just gonna be a small, intimate ceremony on the beach with a nice little reception afterwards, compliments of Paige.
I'm not worried about finding something fancy.
I am worried about finding something that I can fit into.
Oh, I actually have an old camping tent you can borrow if you'd like.
Ow! (SCOFFS) I know you won't be saying things like that if I ever get pregnant.
When you get pregnant.
Divya, I'm happy to help you shop for something.
Aren't you visiting your parents? No, I postponed my trip a couple days.
I would never miss a wedding, and definitely not this wedding.
Jeremiah, it's great to have you back.
Thank you for having me back.
I-I know that you're a little nervous about resuming house calls after your time at the lab, but we're all here for you if you need anything at all.
(CLEARS THROAT) Have you heard from Johns Hopkins? Not yet, but I did get into Stony Brook, and, you know, it wouldn't be so bad to stay on Long Island for medical school, especially since it doesn't start until a month after my due date.
It wouldn't bad to have you here on Long Island, but I predict you will get in, as you should.
(CHUCKLES) Hospital server's down.
No one's getting emails.
Ugh.
Can't someone in IT handle it? Yeah, but I'm permanent administrator now.
I can't lead if I don't show up, right? Hey, Henry.
(CLICKS TONGUE) What? (CLICKS TONGUE) Come over here for a second.
Oh, okay, you could just say, "Come here.
" I don't speak dolphin.
(SIGHS) Are you okay with this wedding? Define "okay.
" You saw how excited he is, right? Yeah, I also saw how, when I asked why the rush, he never explained it.
Maybe because there is no explanation, Henry.
(SCOFFS) It's Dad.
There's always an explanation, always an angle.
All right, I will let you investigate his motive, but hopefully you'll be ready to give him the benefit of the doubt in time for the bachelor party, but either way, your alter ego, Dr.
Negative Energy, not invited, not invited.
Okay.
- (DOORBELL RINGING) -Greetings, Dr.
Lawson.
My name is Chas.
Ms.
Underhill is on the back deck.
Okay! You don't have to yell, Dr.
Lawson.
You may enter now.
- Uh, thank - You're welcome.
- Hi.
Diana Underhill.
- I know who you are.
Hank Lawson.
Nice to meet you.
And Chas? Complete Home Automation System.
Ah.
He seems very bright.
No, he's a smartass.
CPU still needs some tinkering, but the original model is in 1 million homes.
He paid for this house and a good chunk of my campaign.
Yeah, I read that profile of you in the "Sunday Times," how you're hoping to trade your seat in the boardroom for a seat in the Senate.
Yup, I want to reinvent the state of New York, the way my company's reinventing the home.
Well, I assume you didn't call because you're suffering from a lack of ambition.
No, I called because I have been in around-the-clock fundraising mode since the election season began, and my left shoulder is in a lot of pain, I think from maybe shaking too many hands.
You shake with your left hand? No, I shake with both.
A woman needs a firm grip to make people believe that she can lead.
No, studies show that anything less than 15 PSI, and swing voters won't take a handshake seriously.
Hmm, I haven't read that study.
I will trade you my copy for a cortisone shot.
(CHUCKLES) Let's start with an exam, okay? (LAUGHS) All right.
So where's your campaign entourage? They will be out here tomorrow.
Today I needed a break.
A break from running for office? A break from staffers, reporters, pundits.
I'm still running, but from the peace and privacy of the Hamptons, so it was the perfect day to call a doctor.
And why is that? I can't let anyone see me dealing with a medical problem.
Running for office as a woman is hard enough without people questioning my health.
Deep breath in.
- (INHALES DEEPLY) - And out.
Again.
(INHALES DEEPLY) Okay.
Any shortness of breath? Yeah, maybe a little.
Although my opponent would say that I'm full of hot air.
(CHUCKLES) Well, I can't really speak to that, but medically, I'm not too concerned at the moment, though I'd like an MRI to rule out a rotator cuff injury and a full cardiac workup, including a stress test, just to be safe.
If they found out that I hurt myself just working the crowds I assure you, Hamptons Heritage will respect your privacy.
I ordered champagne, lobsters, and the florist is doing classic but beachy arrangements.
They'll match the linens I found perfectly.
Okay, but first, I need your expert tasting advice.
Red velvet with cotton candy roses Yes.
Or vanilla maple with "love" written in strawberry frosting.
You're asking me to pick one of those? Now you see my dilemma.
It's a big dilemma.
I'll help you with it.
I will take this taste test ASAP.
Okay, just try not to eat the box itself.
I'm really impressed by how fast you pulled all this together.
Just because a wedding is last minute doesn't mean it can't be perfect.
I'm also guessing it's it's a good distraction for you, right, like something you can focus on, something you can control.
Two lattes.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
$7.
85, please.
(BEEPS) I think this tech glitch is getting worse.
- I gotta get back down to IT.
- (KISS) Hey, since when do you drink lattes? Oh, it's not for me.
It's actually for a VIP patient Hank just admitted.
Who? (WHISPERING) Diana Underhill.
- Diana Underhanded? - Shh! The woman running against my father? We promised her we'd protect her privacy, and yes, and you know what, she she's actually quite reasonable.
She called my dad anti-gun.
My dad, the general.
The hunter.
This hospital is nonpartisan, Paige.
We kiss all VIP asses equally.
She's a politician, Evan.
Do not be fooled by her charms.
I'm-I'm but I'm not I'm-I'm (MUTTERS) No cupcakes? It feels like ten minutes ago that I was single and motherhood was just a fantasy.
(CHUCKLES) How's Raj handling it all? He's excited about having his third child and our first.
Uh-huh.
He's much less stressed than I am about me starting medical school while I'll still be nursing our newborn.
Life just keeps throwing us curve balls, doesn't it? Curve balls filled with anxiety.
Hank, why are you so wound up about your father's wedding? (SIGHS) It's the old Eddie all over again, forcing me to question even the most joyous occasion.
I can't accept that it's as simple as he's making it sound, that suddenly, he has life all figured out and is ready to settle down.
Is it possible that it's not about Eddie, that it's about you? Maybe you're measuring yourself up against your father.
Maybe I am.
Him and everyone else too.
Evan's married and trying to start a family, so are you, and I couldn't be happier for you guys.
- You know that.
- I do.
But now, even my dad, the reformed hustler and flake, has beaten me to the altar.
It's gotta be tough to swallow.
I always prided myself in having it together, unlike him, and now he's lapping me too.
You have got it plenty together, I promise.
And when the time is right, when the person is right, you'll un-lap everyone.
You mean catch up to everyone.
See, you're already one step ahead of me.
Happy running.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
Later, Sash.
Help! Someone please help my brother! - I'm a doctor.
What's going on? - Thank God.
Hey, there, bud.
Hey, Ian, this man's a doctor, okay? Please get it out! All right.
Hang in there, Ian.
I promise you'll get your foot back in a sec.
Okay.
- I'm Lena.
What can I do? - All right.
Lena, I need your help to lift this bike.
- Yeah? - Okay.
I was too terrified to try that.
Just grab hold of it.
One, two, three.
- That's it, that's it.
Good.
- Oh.
Oh.
Okay.
Any of this feel tender? - A little.
- Yeah? Can you wiggle your toes? Okay, that's good.
I need those paper towels.
Wes.
Thank you.
How the hell did you get your foot caught in there, Ian? We weren't even going that fast.
You were steering like a drunk person! And you were going way too fast.
I had to race to keep up with you.
You rear-ended us, tailgater.
Okay, enough.
Just go clean the groceries off the path.
Okay, um, you guys don't happen to have any That's perfect.
Oh, my God.
We are so lucky we ran into you.
I never would have come up with that.
It's a good thing you guys came prepared.
So you think he's gonna be okay? We'll need to follow up, but he should be okay.
That'll keep it comfortable.
That's it.
All right, let's get you up.
Now, listen, Ian shouldn't put pressure or have any weight on that foot.
- How you feeling, I-guy? - Okay.
Yeah, I'm s I knew that they were too young to be riding my parents' tandem bike.
You guys need help getting home? Uh, thanks, but we don't live too far.
Okay, well, I'd like to speak to your folks anyway.
Ian will need an X-ray, just to be safe.
Uh, they're not around, but do you have, like, a card or something? - Um - Oh.
There you go.
Oh.
All right, let's get you up there, I-guy.
(GRUNTS) I'll be sure to get this to them.
Okay, please do.
Thank you, Hank.
Of course.
Boys.
BOTH: Thank you, Hank.
(CHUCKLES) You got it, fellas.
Ready? Keep your foot up, okay? All right, bud.
He said no so many times, I thought this wedding would never happen.
Honey, it's only because I wanted to be the one that asked.
Well, you certainly surprised me.
The reception is gonna be so great.
We'll set up a bar here, and I guess the food will go right here.
And that pretty much covers it.
And I'm creating a playlist that's gonna make everyone's feet hurt.
It's gonna be awesome.
Oh, thanks so much, guys, for taking charge of this.
I don't know anything about planning a wedding for under 500.
(ALL CHUCKLE) But could I look at the vendors list, just out of curiosity? Sure, yeah, I'll go get it.
- Hey, Paige.
- So? Am I late for the reception walk-through? It just ended.
We didn't think you were coming.
Uh, well, as co-best man, I wanna be part of this wedding, every step of the way.
I'm just curious, why did you guys decide to do it all in 48 hours? Look, the lecture circuit is thrilling, but then I finally realized, my book is called "L.
I.
F.
E.
" L-I-F-E "Life Is for Enjoying," and I was not enjoying myself as much as I should with the gal I love.
(WHISPERING) And I'm not getting any younger.
He said I had to marry him as soon as possible, if not sooner.
What woman would slow down a man who talks like that? Eddie's wild impulses are one of his most attractive qualities.
Well, I'm glad you two make each other so happy.
Dad, you never cease to amaze me, and, Ms.
Newberg, congratulations.
We can't wait to officially have you in the family.
Well, I can't wait to officially be had.
(LAUGHTER) Okay.
Washington insiders call it "Summer Recess.
" I call it a whole month wasted.
I didn't build a public company by taking August off.
If elected, I won't be on recess, not when there are over a million New Yorkers who are looking for jobs.
Okay, that's it for today.
Make sure that Jim gets that ASAP.
Right away.
And why don't we trust politicians? Mm, my impossibly young and know-it-all staff says that I have to constantly put fresh content up on my site so that the voters can always feel me I don't know.
Speaking of, I have 15 fundraisers in five days, so please tell me that you have good news.
Cardiac tests and MRI were negative.
If your shoulder still hurts, it's likely an inflamed muscle.
Great.
What can we do about it? I'm happy to administer that shot of cortisone.
And I am happy to take you up on that.
Fantastic.
Come right over to my bag.
I can usually block out pain, but this has just been too distracting.
(GROANS) Well, it's never healthy to live in pain.
I absolutely agree.
You're a concierge doctor.
Can you and your cortisone injections join me on my campaign trail, just until the pain subsides? I'll put you on staff.
As much fun as all those rubber chicken dinners sound, I have my father's wedding tomorrow.
Oh, congratulations.
You must be very happy for him.
Well, I'm trying to be.
Hmm.
Yes, family obligations and all the drama that comes with them.
It's a distraction that I now avoid in my life.
Or, if anyone asks, a sacrifice that I made in order to better serve the people of this great state of New York.
(BOTH LAUGHING) Uh Diana, you smoke? Well, that's quite an accusation, Hank.
(CHUCKLES) I made a spectacle of publicly quitting last year, but the press conference proved to be far more impressive than my willpower, so yes, I steal a few every day when no one is looking.
I can't be seen as a smoking flip-flopper.
I can't speak to the political ramifications of it, but I can tell you that it may cause dangerous vascular issues, and I could've used that information during your cardiac workup.
I'm not a staffer, a constituent, or the press, so going forward, Diana, just give it to me straight.
And please, stop smoking now.
The eight-year-old boy Hank treated at the beach will be a perfect first patient for you after After recovering from my regression.
Returning from your sabbatical.
We all need one from time to time.
We don't all have the same challenges navigating social interactions, and after months in the lab, I'm a little out of practice.
I'm used to mice.
It was your idea to return, now, wasn't it? All right, so why? It was necessary.
I was hiding, and I thought I might be ready.
And I know that you are.
This will be an easy follow-up.
Remember the three steps.
Introduce myself, explain myself, put the patient at ease.
Great.
Hi, I'm Dr.
S Stranger danger! - (LAUGHS) - Ah! Hey, cool crutches.
Can I take them for a spin? (STAMMERS) (BEEPING) H-hi, I'm Dr.
Sacani.
I'm here to check on your foot.
Is your mom home? Lena! - How long will this take? - Uh Whoa, that's a big needle! That is a syringe.
You need to put a needle on it to perform an injection.
Don't worry, it's not for your foot.
Can I try it on my little brother? Sorry, no.
What is all the screaming about? Did you find Godzilla? And why is the video game so loud? Uh, hi.
Who are you? Hi, I'm Dr.
Sacani.
I'm here to check on Ian's foot.
Oh, thank you for coming, but you have the wrong foot and the wrong boy.
That's Wes, and that's Ian.
Um, I assume you're the babysitter? I get that a lot.
Actually, I'm just the lucky older sister.
Ah.
Ah! Ah! (LAUGHS) Dr.
Sacani found Godzilla! I'm s Uh, someone else will follow up.
Godzilla can't catch you, but I can! - (SCREAMS) - Boys, boys! (UPBEAT MUSIC) Oh, no! Could we get a little help over here? Got it! Jen and Sam, what's going on? Sam, you remember Dr.
Lawson? I'll take that as a yes.
Mom says I get my knuckleball from her.
If I know nurses, she's probably right about that.
(LAUGHS) - Oh! - Oh, I'll get it! That's what we were thinking, sweetie.
So, uh, I tried reaching you back in the fall.
- (LAUGHS) - Yeah.
Yeah, no, I know.
I-I wanted to call.
I had just gotten out of a relationship.
By the time it was a good time, I figured it was too late.
Ah.
Totally understand that.
But it wasn't too late.
It's still not.
I'm still single too, so (BOTH LAUGHING) How does dinner this weekend sound? I'd like that.
Great.
Think Sam will find his runaway knuckleball by then? Not a chance.
Maybe we should go help the guy.
Hey, should we run in on three? Yes, we should.
BOTH: One, two, three! What? Is it cold? (KNOCKING AT THE DOOR) Come on in.
I'll be right down.
Maybe you could do the X-ray.
Jeremiah you can do this, all right? Just remember what we practiced.
This isn't what we practiced for.
This house is a war zone.
Seems pretty peaceful to me.
Hey.
Hello again, Ms.
Crawford.
This is Divya Katdare.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Thanks for coming back to check on Ian.
Let's give this another shot, okay? I promise all the animals have been restrained.
Hey, guys.
You must be Wes and Ian.
Guys, Divya works with Dr.
Sacani.
Hey, Ian, would you mind turning this game off for me for a moment? Just one more minute.
Yeah, we're just about to die.
You know what? Right about now would be great.
Ian, this is gonna be quick and totally painless.
Dr.
Sacani's gonna take a picture of your foot, okay? Yeah, right now.
Right now would be good.
Young man, would you mind stepping outside for me? Lena, you okay? Actually, could you step over here for a second? Um, I've actually been in a lot of pain since the bike accident.
I think it's from where I hit the handlebars.
Okay.
Mm.
(WHIRRING) Have you told your parents? Our parents died a few years ago.
- Sorry to hear that, Lena.
- Thanks.
Don't worry, my aunt Rosanna is our guardian, and she's out for the day, but she'll be back later tonight.
Okay.
Well, let's check it out.
No fracture.
Ian's foot is fine.
Hmm.
It looks like pancreatitis.
That's the inflammation of a long, flat gland that sits behind your stomach.
I hit the handlebars that hard? You must have.
Will I be okay? Yeah, should resolve with enough rest.
So I don't have to go to the hospital? Well, luckily, I don't see any injury to the liver, spleen, or duodenum, but the initial ultrasound can be misleading with these kinds of injuries, so I'll need to reexamine you at some point.
And I'd like to talk to your aunt so that she knows what's going Yeah, that's fine.
Do you have a card or something? I'll give it to her when she gets back tonight.
There you go.
Cool.
Thank you.
Hey, Chas.
Welcome back, Dr.
Lawson.
- Thank you.
- (BEEPING) Thanks for coming back so fast.
What's going on? The pain in my shoulder.
Still not any better? No, and it's in my stomach now.
Okay.
Ugh.
How bad is the pain here, one to ten? That's unusual.
What, for a politician to give you a straight answer? (CHUCKLES) No.
This.
What is that? It could be endometriosis, a disorder in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus starts growing outside the uterus.
And it's unrelated to what's going on in my shoulder? Well, not necessarily.
If it's spread to your diaphragm, it could be irritating a nerve, making the pain radiate up to that area.
Okay, well, if this isn't life-threatening, then I don't have the time to slow down for this.
I have to call 50 high-level donors today.
- Diana, listen to me.
- (WINCES) You need a biopsy to confirm that this is indeed endometriosis, and you may need laparoscopic surgery to remove the excess tissue, so you can call your high-level donors from the hospital.
The hospital again? Mm-hmm.
Okay, but I'm telling Chas you're banned.
(CHUCKLES) - Come.
- Okay.
Wow, Dad, what you are off your game today.
Usually you decimate us.
Today, you're merely embarrassing us.
Well, maybe it's nerves about tomorrow? - Oh.
- No.
You know what it is? It's adrenaline.
Yeah, 'cause I'm so in the moment.
I'm living in the moment.
Is this moment enough, Dad? Did you want a bigger bachelor party? This is nice and everything, but we could still go clubbing or Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, we're not going clubbing.
This is perfect.
I'm with my boys.
Only thing missing is Emma, and she promised to FaceTime me from school pretty soon.
Well, Dad, this is perfect for us too.
Other than having our sister call in to our father's bachelor party, yes, it's perfect.
I'm getting more beer.
You want some? No, thank you.
Dad? You sure you're okay? I don't think that I'm nervous.
I think I'm feeling guilty.
Guilty.
Why? Dad? Is this about Mom? It is.
It is.
Ever since I abandoned my first true love, I'm just don't feel like I deserve a second chance.
I feel like I'm getting away with something.
But you're a completely different person now, and when you first told us about the wedding, I admit, I was a little suspicious, but when I look to see what your angle is, I realize, finally, you don't have one.
Doesn't have an angle on what? On that shot.
Well, Dad's always best when the odds are against him.
Right, Dad? Hey.
Rack 'em up, boys.
Diana! - (ALARM BEEPING) - Illegal entry.
- Diana.
- Illegal entry.
(COUGHS) Yeah, this is Hank Lawson.
I have a female with a hemothorax.
I need an ambulance at 33 Almayo.
Thank you.
Diana, I'm gonna give you some lidocaine to numb you up.
Okay.
Okay.
And now, Diana, I have to make an incision, okay? You're gonna feel some pressure.
Okay.
Good.
Okay.
Here we go.
Okay.
(GASPING) Oh.
Thank you, Hank.
You can thank me by actually staying at the hospital this time.
I will.
As long as you don't come.
You've got a wedding to go to.
(CHUCKLES) She's at the hospital, which we need to discuss later.
Maybe I can go wash it off real quick.
Yeah, don't worry about the stain.
We have a bigger problem.
What? Dad.
He's not coming.
What do you mean, he's not coming? Guess you were right to have doubted him after all.
Does Newberg know? (NEWBERG SCREAMS) (SOBBING) I think she just found out.
I'm so sorry.
(SOBBING) I can't even believe it.
Like, think about it, the nerve it would take.
Like, the unmitigated selfishness.
Who cancels a last-minute wedding at the last minute? I'll tell you who, our father, Eddie R.
Lawson, the world-class son of a Hey! Be careful what you say about the man I love.
Ms.
Newberg, you're here.
I wanted to hole up in the house until the summer was over, but my wedding planner convinced me that, wedding or no wedding, there's nothing like being surrounded by friends and family.
I just didn't want all the cupcakes to go to waste.
Is there anything to wash them down with? Absolutely.
Ha ha.
Whoo! (ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING) Don't worry, I got you some amazing sparkling apple cider.
Ooh, I'll try not to go on a bender.
(LAUGHS) (CHUCKLES) Sit down.
Everything okay? I missed Lena's pancreatitis.
Jeremiah You caught it.
Hank would've caught it.
I-I missed it.
You know pancreatitis takes time to develop its symptoms.
There was likely nothing to catch on your first visit.
Your patient was Ian, and you killed it.
Well, I'd say I barely survived it.
Well (LAUGHS) You had to start someplace.
To surviving.
(PHONE ALERT) Divya.
Is it the sitter? It's the admissions office from Johns Hopkins.
Well? I'm wait-listed.
That's not a no.
No, but it just means more waiting, me waiting to see where I'm going and you waiting to decide if you're gonna move your career to Baltimore.
Ah, who cares? Real estate is real estate, no matter where it is.
And sometimes, waiting pays off.
Just look at us.
Well, I guess you can't explain it any better than I can.
I wish I could.
I understand why he walked out on us 25 years ago.
I don't like it, I don't relate to it, but I understand it.
This is just confusing.
It doesn't make any sense, and it doesn't fit his pattern.
Yeah.
To put it mildly, I agree.
I'm sorry this happened.
You know he's always had commitment issues.
Hank, it's not your job to clean up your father's crazy messes.
(SIGHS) It's a habit, one I thought was behind me.
Well, the crazy's part of the fun too, you know.
Without the valleys, there are no peaks, and with Eddie R.
Lawson, you get both, big-time.
(CHUCKLES) And you've gotten both? Oh, yeah, I sure have.
He's given me the happiest, most exciting times of my life.
He's made me feel younger and more hopeful than I ever thought I could be.
People who make you feel that way tend to be, well, complicated.
- Unpredictable.
- Mm.
You know, Hank, your father blames himself for all of your relationship problems.
What do you mean? Your romantic paralysis, whatever it is.
He's afraid you've become more like him than he ever wanted you to be, and he thinks that's why you can't seem to settle down.
I couldn't do it.
I wanted to.
I wanted to tell them the truth.
I just couldn't do it.
I know what you're gonna say.
You're gonna say I'm a coward.
I'm gonna say you're 100% correct.
Jen.
Hank, what are you doing here? I'm a physician.
It's a hospital.
That's a really good point.
Yeah, but since I'm here, you got a sec? I don't, but since you're here - Okay, um - (CHUCKLES) Look, I've been giving it a lot of thought, and as much as I would love to take you out, I'm concerned about protecting Sam.
Protecting Sam from what, like, a night without me micromanaging him or No, from inevitabilities.
Inevitabilities.
Did your legal team come up with that? 'Cause, you know, if you're just not that into it, you can use smaller words.
Believe me, I am into it.
It's just Okay, at the last minute, my dad canceled his last-minute wedding, and it raised some issues for me.
He always dives headfirst into big decisions without considering who will be the collateral damage.
Sam seems like such a great, happy kid, and I don't wanna cause collateral damage.
I don't wanna be my dad.
Well, thank you, Hank.
That's incredibly sensitive of you.
But Sam's actually leaving next week to spend the summer in Idaho with his dad, so, you know, if you wanna call it off with me before it's even begun, then maybe you and your legal team could come up with something better than inevitabilities.
All set? - Yeah.
- Okay.
You came through yesterday's procedures like the type-A champ that you are.
Your lungs are now clear of blood and endometrial tissue.
Mm.
I hadn't really noticed how compromised my lungs were.
Feel like I have brand-new lungs now, thank you.
Yeah, well, stay away from the cigarettes, and they'll start to feel even better.
So can I go home now, please? You'll need a laparoscopy to clear the endometriosis from your diaphragm and pelvis.
More lasers scraping my insides off? That's yay.
(BOTH LAUGHING) Well, the surgeons will try to use a minimally invasive laser, but Okay.
Depending on what they find during the procedure, Diana, I'm sorry to tell you, you may have to consider a hysterectomy to prevent the problem from recurring.
What's the recovery time? Depending on the type of hysterectomy, you could be back at work in a few days, as long as you don't do any heavy lifting.
Well, if I'm stuck here for more than a few days, the only thing that'll need heavy lifting will be my polling numbers, so thank you.
Um can I can I get it all done at once? You mean do the hysterectomy on the spot? Mm-hmm.
Well, there are factors to consider, but you could discuss them either with me or an ob-gyn, or I could have the social worker on staff come down I considered all those factors long ago, Hank, and I've made my choice.
I think I think just wanna get it over with and get back to work.
I have a senate seat to win.
That's the future of my dreams.
Okay.
I reassured Diana you'd protect her privacy.
Yeah, and I have been, since the second you admitted her.
She's really worried about political enemies.
Well, she's a really polarizing figure.
Especially in my house.
Good luck.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, we're looking for Dr.
Sacani.
Are we in the right place? Yes and no he works right here in the Rare and Genetics Diseases Lab, but I think he's at lunch.
Oh, that's all right.
We'll just we'll just sit over here and just be patient.
I could have him paged if it's urgent.
No, that's all right.
No, we don't mind waiting.
Right, honey? Who doesn't love to wait? Hank hasn't heard from him either? Are you gonna reach out? No, not this time.
The ball is in Eddie's court.
Babe, I'm happy to postpone again.
No.
No, go to Houston.
Give your parents a big hug for me, and tell your dad he is not anti-gun.
Okay? Hey.
Make it a real distraction.
Like, enjoy it.
Enjoy your family.
Enjoy Houston.
Just forget about everything else you deserve it.
Me and my underdog sperm will be right here when you get back, screening the movie "Rudy" for inspiration.
(LAUGHS) Thank you.
I needed that.
And I will.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Have fun.
Mr.
Lawson, can I have a word? Yeah, of course.
Okay, great.
Jeremiah, those patients over there are waiting for you.
Those aren't patients.
Those are my parents.
I don't know why they're here, but I'll ask them to leave.
Okay, thank you.
Hey, what's going on? Did you hear from Dad? No, I heard from IT.
You know that glitch? It's not a technical problem.
So then what's the issue? It's an attack, like, a big one.
- So you're saying - We've been hacked.
