Grey's Anatomy s20e02 Episode Script

1
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[GREY] At the height
of the Great Depression,
Harvard scientists
started tracking students
in hopes of discovering the
key to a long and happy life.
Luna's waking up so early these days.
- We should get some sleep.
- Yeah, we should.
[GREY] They
looked at participants'
mental and physical
health over 75 years.
[PANTING]
It is the longest study
of happiness to date.
[MOANING]
Seventy-five years, and
all they did was confirm
what we've known since
the beginning of time.
[MOANING CONTINUES]
The most powerful predictor
of health and happiness
is the quality of our relationships.
Are you still awake?
Strong relationships protect us.
Don't give me that look, Grandpaw.
[PURRS]
Loneliness on the other hand
I'm talking to a cat.
- Can be deadly.
- [PHONE BUZZES]
[MUSIC STOPS]
So the cycle repeats.
After my choices
- Uh, you
- No, you go.
All right.
Thanks.
- You didn't get any sleep either.
- Nope.
Should we change the locks?
You wanna lock out
one of the chief residents?
Yasuda has a van. We're already not
allowed in the OR. What's Helm gonna do?
Hey, are we good?
You said you needed a
minute. It's been a week.
Yeah. Just working some things out. I
can't really put a timeline on it.
- Okay, but if you wanna talk
- Oh, finally.
Someone had fun last night.
Hey, what happened to your ground
rules and needing three full REM cycles?
Karma sucks, doesn't it?
Let's go! I can't be late.
I've got a liver biopsy.
Say it louder.
I didn't mean that.
I Okay.
Hey. Uh, please, don't
put me on rectals.
[WARREN CHUCKLES]
You're getting nervous?
[BAILEY] No [CHUCKLES]
The interns should be nervous.
- I know this job. I made this job.
- [CHUCKLES]
Yeah, but times have changed.
This generation, they
ain't afraid to push back.
I'd like to see them try with me.
Look, I'm just saying that you should
be prepared for this
class to be different.
They're baby surgeons.
Baby surgeons don't change.
They need structure,
limitations and tough love.
- Right, Pru? Who's the boss?
- You're the boss.
- [CHUCKLES] See? She knows.
- Why you make that girl do that?
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
- That guy just wink at you?
- Um, probably.
- Twenty years later, it never ends.
- What do you mean?
What do you mean what do I
mean? That's how we met.
Your first shift at Jimmy's.
The guy who looked like Father Time.
He was hitting on you. I bailed you out.
I'm sorry I don't have an encyclopedic
memory of every guy who hits on me.
Well, how about an encyclopedic
memory of meeting the man you love?
Who?
- I'm kidding. [CHUCKLES]
- [CHUCKLES]
Now that I know that you're
not into the whole monogamy
- Don't finish that sentence.
- Have you ever been in a throuple?
Do you remember when
we were just colleagues
and didn't know anything
about each other?
- Can we please go back to that?
- Millin was in a throuple.
- I didn't say that.
- Love who you wanna love.
Twenty bucks says that you're loving
a new job before the year's up.
- Fifty says it's Griffith.
- Wh Why?
High risk, high reward. I
need gas money. Millin, you in?
Can we all just shut up and
focus on our jobs, please?
- Yeah.
- [BAILEY] You're late.
I stopped to get you the Mean Green.
Suck-up. Number one rule broken.
Get out of my space.
I don't know what their deal is.
Your days as surgical cowboys are over.
Our patients deserve well-trained
surgeons which you decidedly are not.
You're going back to basics.
No more dodging protocols,
no cutting corners.
If you wanna operate
again, you will earn it.
Procedure logs.
You will complete every
procedure to perfection
and get an attending to sign off.
Until those cards are complete, you
will not so much as look at an OR.
- Ten IVs, 15 chest tubes?
- Ten central lines? Doc
Uh, Dr. Bailey,
- we appreciate what you're doing
- Suck-up.
But we're already cramming
for the ABSITE exams, so
Huh. Well, if it's too much for
you, feel free to choose another career.
I hear that dermatology is nice.
Wanna be a dermatologist, Dr. Kwan?
Didn't think so.
Schmitt and Helm have your assignments.
Okay. Kwan, Adams, Millin, take the pit.
Yasuda, you're with Ndugu.
Griffith, you're with Schmitt.
Any chance we're going
somewhere with a lot of procedures?
We get what we get, and
we don't get upset.
Did your class ever have
to do surgical bingo?
My class didn't
screw up like your class.
All right. I'll put an order
in for a repeat chest X-ray.
- How are you feeling?
- Great. [SIGHS]
Honestly, I am more concerned
about Ms. Acharya and Mr. Jenkins.
Well, her biopsy was benign,
and his echo got pushed to noon,
so your patients are covered.
Just focus on recovery.
- Yeah, doctor's orders, okay?
- Oh, I just I
- [PHONE BUZZES, BEEPS]
- Oh, it's the ER. I'll check in later.
Okay. Yeah. I'm
just Can I Um
I'm here and ready to help.
I can remove chest tubes or
Never mind.
Let me guess. Dr.
Bailey's new program?
Well
Listen. No procedures on the Chief,
and no trolling for them on my service,
- so finish rounding and come find me.
- [SIGHS]
Yasuda.
- I could use your help.
- Yeah, of course.
[SIGHS] Tuggle. Futrell. Are
these specific techniques?
They're patients. I want you
to check on them and report back.
Are you sure you should be working?
- It's only been a week, and I've got
- Procedure log. I know.
Okay. Mr. Tuggle is gonna
need his pacing wires removed,
and Mr. Futrell, he's always
pulling out his A-line, so
- Oh, procedures. Okay.
- Mmm.
And when you're done with those,
I have others.
Just use discretion.
Discretion is my middle name.
Actually, it's Elaine.
Uh, I'm on it.
All my life All my life,
I've wanted to be champion.
What happens
[MILLIN] If we could
all just talk one at a time
- Please!
- [WHISTLES]
Okay. This sounds counter-intuitive,
but this is going to go a lot faster
if one person speaks at a time.
Our family softball game turned
into a bit of a bloodbath.
I cut my leg, and Allie
and Billy need some help.
Yeah. I I can't straighten
my arm. That's not normal, right?
No, not really. What about you?
I don't know. It feels
like I broke my back.
Make her the priority.
She's carrying my grandbaby.
How about my broken nose? Charlotte
fouled a ball into my face.
- Uh, who is Charlotte?
- Me!
She's my other son's daughter.
She's going to be this year's MVP.
- Oh, when pigs fly.
- [CLEARS THROAT] Okay, Millin,
let's get the Best family settled
while I do their intake, okay?
- All right. Let's go.
- All right.
Who actually needs medical attention?
Come with me. The rest of you
can wait in the waiting room.
[PARAMEDIC] Coming through.
O-O-Oh, wait. Everybody move back.
Move back, please.
- Let's get him to trauma three.
- John Doe,
looks to be in his 20s, found
unconscious by Fisherman's Terminal.
No witnesses, multiple gunshot
wounds to his chest and abdomen.
Systolic has been
stable in the low 100s.
Received 2 liters of fluid and 200
mics of fentanyl on the way here.
All righty. On my count, everybody.
Ready? One, two and three.
[GRUNTS] Smells like Pike Place Market.
Order a type and screen.
[GRUNTS] I can't get through.
[KWAN GRUNTS]
Whoo! That's a
whole lot of Benjamins.
[WEBBER] Dr. Griffith,
will you please present?
Dante Collier is 33.
He's had right upper quadrant
pain on and off for two weeks.
Presented to the ER this morning.
His labs showed elevated transaminases
with normal alk phos and bili.
Ultrasound confirmed cholecystitis.
He is scheduled for surgery today.
Soup to nuts, how long
is this gonna take?
I need to feed my pumpernickel starter.
What's a pumpernickel starter eat?
[WEBBER CLEARS THROAT]
Sorry. I am a surgical resident.
I-I keep textbooks in my oven.
[CHUCKLES]
[WEBBER] I'm afraid
we have to keep you here.
Dante's a baker. He owns
Bread for This, the bakery.
Oh, their cinnamon
rolls changed my life.
That's my baby.
You should come by
sometime. On the house.
I'll tell the staff to look
out for the handsome surgeon
who keeps textbooks in his oven.
Uh
You know, my wife
makes a mean corn bread.
Sweet or savory?
- Oh, you kidding? Sweet.
- [WINCES]
We'll get you back to
work as soon as we can.
Dr. Schmitt will be your lead
surgeon. I'll be assisting.
You will?
Uh, he will, because
I am your lead surgeon.
Griffith, go check on his labs. Please.
And do you want me to stop and see if
Mrs. Ferry needs her wound vac changed?
Just the labs.
Uh, okay. Get some rest.
We'll be back soon.
Looking forward to it.
[MILLIN] How far along are you?
Twenty-nine weeks.
And, yes, I know I had no
business playing softball.
Not the way your family plays.
[GRUNTS] They're my in-laws.
This is what happens when you take
a bunch of highly competitive,
wildly unathletic people
and give them bats.
I've suggested Wiffle ball or badminton,
literally anything else, but
- Babe, those aren't real games.
- Well, I paged OB,
but I'm also going to get
you an ortho and a neuro consult.
That doesn't sound too good.
Well, I just want them to check you out.
So stay right here and don't
go chasing after any fly balls.
[CHUCKLES] Couldn't if I tried.
Uh, d-did he rob a bank? This
must be thousands of dollars.
Or maybe he was trying
not to get robbed.
[NDUGU] Got three wounds
in the front, two in back.
One bullet must be inside
still. I'm ready for films.
I could buy six vans with that.
- Yasuda, what do you need?
- Mr. Tuggle's post-op day two.
Should I remove his pacing wires?
No, and it's not the time
to ask. Hang another unit.
- [MACHINE BEEPS]
- X-ray's up. Kwan.
Bilateral hemopneumothoraxes.
He needs a chest tube.
- [BAILEY] Mm-hmm.
- [BOTH] I can do it.
Adams, take that money down to
security and have them lock it up
until the police arrive.
[GRUNTS] Okay.
Here, Kwan.
[MACHINE BEEPING]
Oh. Pressure's tanking.
He's coding. Let's prep
for a thoracotomy. Scalpel.
Have you seen the pie
episode of The Great Bake Off?
- It's dope.
- I don't have a lot of time for TV.
Before surgery, we need to make sure
we have all your medications noted.
I already told the ER doctor.
Are you taking any medication for HIV?
Excuse me?
I didn't see any meds listed for HIV.
I figured it was a mistake.
Just wanted to make sure.
I I don't have HIV.
I'm so sorry.
Hold on.
Our labs indicate a positive HIV result.
- It's right here.
- Well, it's wrong.
I mean, when was I tested?
Standard screening for our ER.
I want one of the other doctors.
- Oh, Dante, I would never
- No, you've made a mistake.
And clearly, you don't
know what you're doing.
So get me another doctor.
[DANTE BREATHES SHAKILY]
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Okay.
Hello, Allie. I'm Dr.
Lincoln. This is Dr. Shepherd.
Hey, Allie. Tell me,
have you experienced
any back pain during your pregnancy?
Maybe a little.
Uh, this is sharper. Stabbier.
And my groin area is a little numb.
Herb should be MVP. He's 81 and
he's still pitching strikeouts.
Everyone gets unlimited pitches.
- You're really gonna deprive a dying man?
- Who says he's dying?
Look at him.
If anyone deserves MVP, it's Allie.
I don't want MVP [YELPS]
[SCREAMS, PANTING]
Okay. Hang on.
I think my water broke.
Wait. What's happening? Is she okay?
Uh, Allie, I-I don't think
it's amniotic fluid. It's urine.
I peed myself in front of my in-laws?
Don't worry,
sweetheart. We're family.
[CHUCKLES]
She needs an MRI.
This could be a spinal injury,
and if we don't move now,
she could end up paralyzed.
[PANTS, GROANS]
- [CONTINUOUS BEEP]
- Come on.
Trash duty suits you.
Security is busy on the psych floor.
I'm stuck with this guy's
money until they get back.
[NDUGU SIGHS] It's been 20
minutes. No cardiac response.
Okay, injecting another
epi. Hang more blood.
Heart's not starting.
Resuming cardiac massage.
Come on, man. Come on.
Is there any ID on this kid? Adams?
No, nothing.
Still nothing. Damn it.
[NDUGU SIGHS]
Time of death
Before you declare him,
can I take over cardiac massage?
[WHISPERS] He's dead.
[WHISPERS] Exactly. Good practice.
Yeah, fine. Kwan, step in.
Careful now. One hand on
top, one hand underneath.
Squeeze up from the apex.
Yeah.
- [MACHINE BEEPING]
- It's beating. It
Is it beating?
[BAILEY STAMMERS] What?
Oh, congratulations. Now move.
Let's get him up to the OR ASAP.
- [GRUNTS] Can I scrub in?
- [KWAN] It's not up to me.
- Ask your residency director.
- Is your procedure log completed?
- We just got it this morning.
- Then no. Let's go.
You just happened to get your
hand in there at the right time.
And you're walking around
with $40,000 in a trash bag.
Dante, we repeated your lab test twice,
and they both came
back positive for HIV.
Now, I know this is a lot to take
in, so we'll give you some time.
We can postpone your
surgery for a couple hours
and provide you with some counseling
and a referral to a specialist.
- Schmitt?
- I'll put in the consult now.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]
- Hey. Careful.
- You'll pull out your IV.
- I need to get out of here.
You can get some
air, but we need to keep
the IV antibiotics going until surgery.
Surgery's the last thing on
my mind right now. I need to go.
HIV can be treated with
minimal changes to your life.
But if we don't treat
your gallbladder infection,
your health will drastically decline.
Where are my clothes?
Dante, please let us help you.
I'll sign whatever you need
me to sign, but please, let me go!
[PATIENT 2] Herb's
been playing for 60 years.
Just because she's five,
doesn't mean she can't add value.
- How's a busted nose added value?
- Ugh.
What do you think, Dr. Millin?
I think that I am done with your leg.
Just give me a sec, okay?
You're a sore loser.
- Because you cheat.
- Oh. [SCOFFS]
[CLEARS THROAT] Dr. Hunt,
I finished the leg lac.
- Could you please sign my procedure log?
- Mmm.
Could you please put me on a different
patient? This family is a lot
Dislocated finger in
bed seven, Millin. Okay?
Yes.
[ALLIE] Is it almost over?
First time all day I
can hear myself think,
and now all my thoughts are terrifying.
It should just be a few more minutes.
I grew up an only child, and I hated it.
I wanted noise and sibling rivalry,
and someone who also
despised my mom. [CHUCKLES]
Then I married Billy
and his giant family.
But if anything were to happen to my
baby because of this stupid game
Try to take a few deep breaths.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
Hey. Uh, no more cake,
so your options are
chocolate, sugar and glazed.
Second breakfast?
[BOTH] First.
- [COMPUTER BEEPS]
- The scans are up.
There. Severe disc herniation
at L5 and S1 levels.
The disc is protruding and
pressing into the nerve root.
This is cauda equina syndrome.
I'll book her an OR
for emergent decompression.
- Mmm.
- You can't go in posteriorly.
If we go in anteriorly, we'll
have to deliver the baby.
She's only 29 weeks.
You can't position her laterally.
It increases her chance of bleeding.
[SIGHS] You're not
leaving us many options.
I think I have one.
[ALTMAN] What's happening?
Mr. Jenkins is prepped for his CABG.
- [GROANING]
- No change on Mr. Futrell,
but I think he has a
crush on Dr. Beckmann.
Which is relevant because
When he pulls out his A-line,
he only wants Dr.
Beckmann to put it back in.
- Here. Answers to your other questions.
- Thank you. Good. [GROANS]
Actually, I need to finish
rounding on Ndugu's patients.
That's got a possible central line.
You sure you don't need help?
Yes. With my patients. Go.
- [DOOR CLOSES]
- [GROANS]
[SIGHS]
Those are the AMA forms to sign.
I arranged an appointment
with our clinic,
so you can talk to them
about your treatment options.
I already know the spiel.
A pill a day and then passing on
the virus is basically a non-issue.
There's also an injectable
option if you're not into pills.
When I saw you walk into the room
this morning, my first thought was,
"How was I gonna ask the
hot surgeon out on a date?"
Now I'll always remember
your face as one of the ones
who told me my dating
life had changed forever.
Hey. Y You will still date.
When and how you disclose
your status is up to you.
And then they'll run.
Or they'll be like me, and
they'll already be on PrEP,
so they'll have the freedom
to date whoever they're into.
Even guys who feed their pumpernickel.
[CHUCKLES, WINCES]
- [GROANING]
- Hey. Hey, hey.
- You okay?
- I think it's getting worse.
You're getting clammy too.
- Dante, you need this surgery.
- [GROANS]
If you walk out of here, you
could become septic and die.
Okay. Okay.
- Okay? That's it?
- Yeah.
Yeah, because I don't think I can walk.
- Okay.
- [GROANS]
Can I get a hand in here?
- [MACHINE BEEPING]
- [BAILEY SIGHS]
We still don't know who this kid is.
As a parent, I I just can't imagine.
Um, if you have something
to say to me, go ahead.
Lap pad.
You learn how to be a
surgeon in the operating room.
Full stop. Suspending the
interns is stunting their education,
and much worse, it's
impeding my work.
They should be in the OR, pushing past
their mistakes and learning from them,
growing, Bailey. Suction.
- [BAILEY] I won a Catherine Fox Award.
- [NDUGU] I'm aware.
Most people think it is because
of my work in reproductive care,
but really, it's for
teaching reproductive care.
Okay, this bullet shattered the spleen
and hit the small and large bowels.
I'm afraid the SMA is involved.
- He might never eat normally again.
- [NDUGU] If he lives.
Looks like the bullet
injured the hilum of his lung.
Think I can feel it now.
Yep. There it is.
Gotcha.
- [HUFFS, SIGHS]
- [BAILEY] Whoa.
Adams.
Take the bullet to pathology.
As in now.
[MACHINES BEEPING]
His pressure's tanking.
[BAILEY] Whoever you are, stay with us.
- [LINCOLN CLEARS THROAT]
- The table is shaped like a doughnut?
No, we add supports to the iliac crest
to create a hole in the
center like a doughnut.
That way you can lie face down
without putting pressure on your belly.
Then we go in and remove the
discs pressing on your nerves.
And you've done this before?
Well, it's an unusual situation.
- That sounds like "no."
- Is this safe for the baby?
I think it's the best choice, and I
will be in there to monitor both of you.
I should've let that ball go.
I didn't want to disappoint anyone,
but now the baby I should've
Hey, hey, hey. It'll be okay.
No matter what happens,
we will all be there
for you when you wake up.
Everyone?
I will tell whoever you want to leave.
I love you.
As soon as we have an
update, we'll let you know.
Okay.
[ALLIE BREATHES SHAKILY]
You're here. That must mean
Mr. Wallis is out of surgery.
I passed that case to Dr. Boyle
because I have a lab chole.
- Why? Did someone ask you?
- I plead the Fifth.
Yasuda, you wanna tell me
what's really going on here?
I plead the Fifth again.
This doesn't concern
me, so I'm gonna
Chief Altman said I might
get some procedures for my log
if I checked on her patients.
- Mmm.
- Don't worry. Joke's on me.
I haven't done a single procedure,
and I'm behind on Ndugu's patients.
So Also [SIGHS] I
know it's not my place,
but maybe she's pushing
it just a little bit too m
What are you doing?
Well [SIGHS]
Yeah, you did these
on my wife.
You helped save her life,
Yasuda. I won't forget that.
Okay? Now I need your
help getting her to rest.
- Thank you.
- Save her from herself,
and don't tell her
it's coming from me, okay?
Use discretion.
- [SIGHS] I'll see what I can do.
- [HUNT] Thank you.
[SHEPHERD] Finished the
decompression. Screwdriver.
Art. Father Time's name was Art.
- [WILSON] Are we still talking about this?
- [LINCOLN] It's important.
[WILSON] Well, maybe
you should have warned me
there'd be a quiz about
the day we met 20 years later.
Almost done stabilizing the spine.
[WILSON] No, no, no, no, no.
I'm seeing deep decels.
The baby's heart rate
is dropping into the 60s.
- [SHEPHERD] We need five minutes.
- We might not have that.
Her spine is not stable. If we
move her, we could paralyze her.
[WILSON] Okay. I might be
able to manipulate the baby.
If the cord is compressed, I might
be able to reposition the baby
to take the pressure off.
[LINCOLN] Okay. I need
the other screwdriver.
[MACHINE BEEPING]
- [LINCOLN] Jo?
- [WILSON] No change.
Let me just try one more thing.
Damn it. It's not working.
We need to get the baby out.
- I haven't confirmed placement.
- [WILSON] We need to flip her now.
[LINCOLN] We've got enough screws.
We can finish after we save the baby.
Let's do this. Wet lap pads.
[WILSON] Page the NICU team and OB.
Let them know we're
doing an emergency C-section.
Everyone here drop what you're
doing and help us flip her.
Hey.
I got your text. What happened?
Just gave someone the biggest
diagnosis of their life
as casually as ordering
a freaking coffee,
and then he almost
canceled his lap chole.
He could have died 'cause of me.
That really sucks.
I'm sorry.
[SIGHS]
[ADAMS MOANS]
- Are you sure you want this?
- I wanna feel better.
[ADAMS] Uh
- [SIGHS]
- Is there Is there a problem?
[SIGHS] Look, I want to.
But you're upset and
- Well, maybe we should talk.
- Yeah. Don't worry about it.
Wait. Look, Simone, I
- Hey, Simone
- [DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
We successfully stabilized Allie's
spine, and it'll take a little while,
but we are expecting a full recovery.
- [SIGHS] That's great.
- [CHUCKLES]
[CHUCKLES] And, uh, what about
our baby? Is she gonna be okay?
Well, her lungs
aren't fully developed,
so she'll need a little
time on a ventilator,
but for her age, she is strong.
[BABIES CRYING]
Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
[SNIFFLES]
[BILLY] Hi. Welcome to the
team, little slugger. [CHUCKLES]
Listen.
We are loud, and we're opinionated,
and we're not the
best athletes, okay?
But we are the Best family.
- Yes, we are.
- We'll give you a moment.
He can be sentimental.
Well, he is a new father.
I was talking about Link.
I mean, he remembers everything.
Mmm, birthdays and
anniversaries. Good and bad.
Well, you've known him longer. You know
how sensitive he is, how much he cares.
And I think
it's even more intense
with people that he loves.
He told you about us.
He didn't have to.
We're already family anyway.
- Hmm.
- Hmm.
How's Dante?
Well, his gallbladder was very inflamed,
so we had to convert
to an open procedure.
But Schmitt handled it well.
He'll brief you
on the post-op orders.
Mm-hmm.
He'll be okay.
My instincts, I've always trusted them.
Lately
I don't know. [CHUCKLES]
It's a terrifying feeling, isn't it?
No one has a perfect record.
I've mismanaged more
than a few things in my life.
How long did it take you before you
stopped?
I'll let you know when I do.
What do you have for me, Yasuda?
Lemon, orange and cherry.
It's Jell-O.
- I don't want Jell-O.
- I used to hate it.
My mom could serve nine kids from
one box, so we had it all the time.
A-And I mean literally
every Sunday afternoon,
but then I went to college, and I found
myself grabbing it at the dining hall.
It-It became a little taste of home.
You know who wants a taste of home?
Ms. Granados. Was she discharged?
Chief, what about
What about focusing on rest?
[CHUCKLES] I don't
know if it was my husband
or my surgeon who put you up to this,
but either way,
I'm fine.
You are not fine.
And that is not coming
from Dr. Hunt or Ndugu.
That is fact.
I know because I was
standing next to you
when you collapsed in the OR.
We pounded on your
heart to keep you alive.
It was It was traumatic and
awful, and I'm still not over it.
But But here you are acting like
business as usual when you almost died!
[SIGHS]
[CRYING]
Chief Altman.
Um, I-I should go.
[CRYING CONTINUES]
Okay.
Please don't tell
anyone this happened.
Discretion. Total discretion.
[CHATTERING]
Excuse me. Excuse me!
- Billy is with Allie. The baby is fine.
- [SIGHS]
Now all of you who needed
help have been seen.
So you are all free to go.
- [CHARLOTTE] Yes.
- Thank you so much, Doctor.
- Thank you.
- Welcome.
All right. What about the MVP?
What? Oh. Uh, what about Nowell?
What about him? An MVP's
supposed to inspire people, okay?
Make them wanna rise up and do better?
Nowell's played left field for 25 years,
hasn't caught so much as a cold.
Oh, at least he didn't set the
cabin on fire with illegal fireworks.
- Those weren't mine!
- Really?
That's why your
eyebrows were singed off?
Stop! Stop it!
This is a hospital.
There are people who are
sick and injured here.
Some are in pain. Some will never leave.
You should all be grateful
that you have a family
that wants to spend time together,
that plays games together,
that has family traditions.
And instead, you have
all been arguing all day
making it next to impossible
for me to do my job and help you.
So I hope that you all remember this
when you're all back here next year.
MVP.
MVP.
[MILLIN] Please
[ALL] MVP.
- No.
- [ALL] MVP.
MVP.
- MVP!
- God.
[ALL CHEERING, APPLAUDING] MVP! MVP!
If I ask you something, will
you just not be you for a second?
I need to know the question first.
Have you seen the bag of cash?
I think "idiot" might be too
generous in this situation.
Help me find the bag.
You're on all the butt
stuff for the next two weeks.
Fine. I don't care.
Just help me find it.
You left it in the
on-call room, dumbass.
You're lucky I'm
the one who found it.
- [ADAMS STRAINS]
- [KWAN STAMMERS]
Hand me that bag before
I hand you something else.
[SIGHS] The police put out
a missing person's report.
Hopefully, someone will
recognize our John Doe.
Uh, Dr. Bailey, is this a good
time to sign my procedure log?
No.
So I don't get credit
for the cardiac massage?
You didn't do that for credit.
You did it to learn to save a life.
What? This [SIGHS]
Look, this man is a human being.
He's someone's son,
maybe someone's brother.
He's just like you, at the
beginning of his adult life.
And then he was shot multiple
times and might not live.
Yet the only thing the
two of you seem to see is,
uh, blank boxes to be checked.
[SIGHS]
[CLICKS TONGUE] This
exercise is not a game.
It is to determine whether or not
you will ever regain the privilege
of operating inside
someone's living body.
And if I hear that you put
procedures over patients again,
I will make sure that you never do.
Surgery went well.
But you will have a longer recovery
since we weren't able
to go in laparoscopically.
You'll have to be
here a couple days, okay?
- [DANTE EXHALES]
- [KNOCK ON DOOR]
Griffith, now is not a good time
I just want to apologize
if that's okay.
- Okay.
- [GRIFFITH] Thank you.
Dante, I am so sorry.
I should've been more tactful.
It's no excuse, but I was racing
through my work, and I I screwed up.
- I'm sorry.
- Been there.
I missed a couple of calls from the
health department a few months ago.
Huge red flag, I know,
but we had just launched mobile orders.
The kitchen was slammed, I
didn't have any symptoms,
and I wasn't seeing anyone,
so I put it off.
I never expected to have HIV.
I had to find out at some point, right?
See you in the morning.
Thank you.
Got any dinner plans, Dr. Schmitt?
I hear the pudding's good.
[CHUCKLES] No dinner plans,
but I-I do have other patients.
Right.
But I could spare maybe 20 minutes.
["TO NEVER SEE THE LIGHT" PLAYING]
Have you ever seen The Great Bake Off?
- [DANTE] It's my favorite.
- [SCHMITT CHUCKLES] It's good, right?
Hi, I'm Dr. Kwan.
You two responded to the
missing person notice?
Yeah, our son.
He was on break from grad school,
and he got work on a fishing barge.
[PARENT 1] It docked yesterday,
but we never heard from him.
And then we saw that there was, uh,
a robbery in-in the area in the news,
and the police directed us here.
Um, you have a photo of your son?
Yeah.
Uh
Please. Take a seat.
[PARENT 1 BREATHES SHAKILY]
Your son is here
Dorian. His name's Dorian.
[KWAN] Dorian is here in the ICU.
He was shot three times.
We did aggressive resuscitation,
and his heart stopped.
But we got him back.
He's stable, but
in critical condition.
The bullets caused extensive damage.
I can take you to go see him.
But I have to warn you,
it will be difficult.
[PARENT 2 SNIFFLING]
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
Hey.
Yasuda told you that I cried?
No, but you just did. [CHUCKLES]
Hey.
I'm a mess.
Hey.
You're alive.
[ALTMAN] I just
I can't get the image of Sam
lying on that OR table out of my head.
I was supposed to save him.
But you didn't. And now you're
trying to save everyone else.
- Hmm?
- Maybe.
Teddy, what happened to
Sam was not your fault.
It was out of your control,
and I promise you will
be back to work soon,
but you need to recover.
And that is something
that you can control, okay?
You're right.
Okay. No more work.
All right, take this.
Okay. I got it. I got it.
Okay. Good.
Thank you for looking after me.
Of course.
- What? Wait.
- [ALTMAN] What? No.
- Do I Hey, can I feel a
- No. No.
Teddy, is this thing a tablet? Really?
- [CHUCKLES] Please. Can I
- [HUNT] Mm-hmm.
[ALTMAN SIGHS]
- I love you.
- I love you.
Winston. Hi.
[MUSIC STOPS]
I got a cat.
Are you talking to me?
I miss my family. I miss
Meredith. I miss Maggie.
I I miss Kai.
So, uh, I got a cat.
Oh.
I know things have
been rocky between us.
But I consider you family,
and I would love it if we were
the kind of family that could fight
and still eat meals together.
Would you be interested
in a burger at Joe's?
I can go to Joe's. Yeah.
You know it would be with me, right?
Yeah. Come on.
[SHEPHERD] Okay.
[SIGHS]
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, uh, Pru convinced Tuck
to set up the camping tent,
- so now they're singing campfire songs.
- Oh.
Is everything okay?
[STAMMERS] We had a John Doe.
In his 20s. He came in full of bullets.
Turns out to be a fisherman who
had, uh, just gotten his big payday
when someone stuck a gun in his face.
- Just senseless.
- It's the worst part of the job.
Now I'm different.
The interns, right?
They're just like any other class.
Clumsy, competitive.
Their hearts are sometimes
in the right place.
But I've changed.
I've seen too much.
I've felt too much.
- But isn't that a good thing?
- [BAILEY] I don't know.
Dr. Ndugu openly
questioned my methods today.
- [CHUCKLES]
- [BAILEY] I know.
I don't know. Maybe he's right.
Maybe it's a sign that I-I
shouldn't do this again.
I don't know.
Uh, you remember
how long it took me to figure
out Pru's Diaper Genie?
- [SCOFFS]
- Or how frustrated I got
when she would only eat orange foods?
- As long as it's food, who cares?
- Exactly.
See, you, you're
sailing through parenting
Pru because you've done it before.
You know what works and what doesn't.
You know when to get mad
and when to hold a hand.
- [SIGHS]
- So, yes, you've changed,
but for the better.
[BAILEY] Aw.
I scored four procedures on
my card, and I won a trophy.
I think victory looks good on me.
- Anyone else?
- I got two procedures.
I saw an attending cry,
and I'm exhausted.
Well, who cried?
Doesn't matter.
How many did you get checked?
- Also two.
- And you're not gloating?
Not in the mood.
Ready?
Yes.

[DOOR CLOSES]
When did you have time to,
uh, prepare for a famine?
Okay. Do you remember the first year
Jimmy's did all-you-can-eat crab day?
Oh, when they didn't limit the time,
and everyone who came for
lunch stayed through dinner,
we made almost no tips?
Yes. And my tuition was due,
and I was totally miserable.
I remember.
Okay. Well, after that awful shift,
you and I sat in the back
booth eating oyster crackers.
And you told me that someday
I'd become a doctor
and make enough to afford
everything on the menu.
You made it all better,
just like you've done so
many times since we first met.
Hmm. Also known as the day I
rescued you from Father Time.
Allegedly.
But I know this isn't
Jimmy's Crab Shack,
but this is everything on the
menu from the Fisherman's Lure.
Hmm. You know what I love
even more than doughnuts?
Me.
- I was gonna say lobster rolls.

[GRIFFITH] Um
The why It's so hard to sleep ♪
I avoid hard truths.
I avoid them till they're
staring me in the face.
Ran from Baltimore,
I ran from my wedding.
After everything with
Sam, I ran from you.
And I think it's because I
am too scared to admit that
right now is not a good time for us.
I'm not sleeping, I'm
slipping up, I'm hurting people.
I'm hurting myself,
and I need to put me first.
I need to put my career first.
When haven't you?
Now, you accepted a marriage proposal
right after kissing
me in your room,
then you ask me to be your best man.
And then you say you need
a minute to sort things out,
but that's over right when you
need me to help you feel better.
No, you put yourself first.
Don't worry.
- Lucas, all of that was because
- From now on,
we're roommates.
