ER (1994–2009): Season 7, Episode 14 - A Walk in the Woods - full transcript

Previously on "ER.."

How much of your brain
did they cut out?

He has a mild
expressive aphasia.

‐ It's temporary.
‐ Well, I don't like it.

This is just gonna
be between us, right?

Of course.

The only reason you gave me that

job is because I'm black.

Lupus is very serious.

I know what it does, Dr. Kovac.

I even know I'm gonna
die from it.



I need information
about evaluating a physician

who's possibly
cognitively impaired.

'You asleep?'

'Cleo?'

Cleo?

‐ Hmm?
‐ You asleep?

Mm‐hmm.

It's snowing outside.

What time is it?

Almost 6:00.

You know, I was thinking, um..

I have to be in at 7:00.

The alarm's going off
in ten minutes.

‐ I'll be quick.
‐ Hmm.



The hell you will.

You feel it?

No.

‐ 'There.'
‐ 'Oh, wow.'

She's really moving.

How long has she been
going on like this?

On and off all night.

Shh.

Go back to sleep.

I keep thinking
about that movie..

"Alien," you know.

It's moving around under his
skin and then all of a sudden

it breaks its way
through with its teeth.

Amanda, stop it.

You're scaring your mother.

Amanda?

So the baby's a girl today?

Or Matthew,
after my grandfather.

I can't decide.

Last day.

Last day.

What?

It's okay.

‐ 'Hi, did I wake you?'
‐ Uh‐huh.

I was trying to let you sleep.

I should probably
get home anyway.

You should bring
a few things over.

I could clear out some
closet space for you.

Are you sure you can spare it?

I can find a couple of inches.

'Somewhere, maybe.'

I need to dry my hair.

Mm‐hmm.

Are you gonna watch me again?

Mm‐hmm.

Mm..

‐ Are you okay?
‐ Mm‐hmm.

‐ Are you?
‐ Mm‐hmm.

Penny for your thoughts.

‐ Pardon?
‐ It means..

It means, what are you
thinking about?

Nothing, really.

I was thinking about the bishop.

Making love with me makes you
think of a priest with lupus?

You watch me when we make love.

You're beautiful.

What was her name?

Who?

Your wife.

Danijela.

Did you love her very much?

Yeah.

I'm glad.

Carter! Four‐year‐old boy
is coming in from preschool.

Fever, having trouble breathing.

‐ 62 is pulling in.
‐ Okey‐dokey.

Hey, Frank,
is Dr. Greene here yet?

Nah, said he was
coming in a little late.

Weaver's upstairs in some
big administrative pow‐wow.

Probably suggesting
the installation

of pay toilets in
the employee bathrooms.

Is Kovac here?

He's got a dead shovel in three.

They're trying
to bring him back.

I guess it's just you and me

then with this four‐year‐old.

Hey, I can take it.

‐ Welcome back.
‐ Thanks.

‐ 'How are you feeling?'
‐ Oh, pretty good.

‐ Want me to tag along with you?
‐ No, I've got it.

Eight weeks.
Could be some cobwebs.

Thanks anyway.

Call me. If she gets
into any trouble.

Okay.

You look great.

Oh, I still have
a few pounds to drop.

‐ Can't tell.
‐ Oh! I should've gotten a coat!

‐ So go in and grab one.
‐ No, I'm alright.

Zack Woodman, four‐years‐old.

Status, post grand mal
seizure at his preschool.

We were just finishing
arts and crafts

and he started shaking
and wet his pants.

‐ Are you his mother?
‐ No, his preschool teacher.

Feels like he's burning up.
BP's 100/60, pulse 120.

Does he have
a history of epilepsy?

No, not that I know of.

Zack, open your eyes. Zack?

Uh, excuse me,
c‐can somebody help me?

‐ Uh, are you hurt, sir?
‐ No, no, no, it's not me.

Uh, he's in the car,
and he's very weak.

I‐I don't think
he can walk on his own.

Uh, Abby?

‐ What's wrong with him?
‐ He's having trouble breathing.

‐ Has he been ill?
‐ Yes.

‐ When did this start?
‐ I‐I don't know.

Uh, a couple hours ago I guess.

Hi.

Hello.

Can you walk?

I don't think so.

I need a septic workup

CBC, blood and urine cultures,
chest X‐ray.

Temp's 105.

Sorry, the bishop's back.

I need a weight.

Blue zone, 20 kilos.

360 milligrams
of rectal Tylenol.

Pulse ox 82.

Put him on a mask, ten liters.

Do you want to do a spinal tap?

He could have meningitis.

Or it could be febrile seizure
and he's going to wake up.

Why don't I get an LP tray?

I want to wait a few minutes.

Give 900 of Cefotaxime
after the cultures.

Well, I love what you've done
with the place, Peter.

Very Teutonic, none of
the trappings of success

to interfere with your, uh,
performing your new duties.

Well, I requisitioned
some furniture but I hear

the form is still on your desk
waiting for your signature.

Well, you should see my inbox.

Must be 18 inches deep.

Are those admissions folders?

Yeah, I thought I would
familiarize myself

with them before I met
with the candidates.

'Don't bother, kids come in,
they're gonna toss out'

a bunch of tired cliches
about wanting to help people.

You could ask them
their favorite color.

You could ask them
whether or not they like cheese.

It doesn't matter.
Step outside a minute, will you?

He, uh, showed up in my office

whining about
not getting an interview.

So I thought you
should shake his hands

since this sort of falls
under your purview

before you had the, uh,
security toss him out.

Hey, that's your man.

Dean Benton?

Dr. Benton.

William White. Thanks for
finding time to see me.

Yeah, well,
what can I do for you?

I, uh, I got this letter.

I applied to the medical school
but I didn't get an interview.

Teacher doesn't have a signed
emergency consent form.

He's still not waking up.

‐ How long's it been?
‐ 40 minutes.

Zack?

‐ Zack, can you hear me?
‐ He needs an LP.

We don't have parental consent.

Get another doc
to sign off the chart with you.

Okay, get the tray set up.

Frank, where's Carter?

In four. Granny took a fall.

Dr. Carter,
can I see you for a moment?

Sure.

Uh, I 've got that four‐year‐old
with febrile seizure.

‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ He's still altered.

I want to do a spinal tap
but the preschool

doesn't have
an emergency consent

and we haven't been able
to contact a parent yet.

Any other signs?

Well, X‐ray looks
like viral pneumonia.

I can't assess for a stiff neck,
but there is photophobia.

Alright, where do you
want me to sign?

'Oxygen saturation is only 78.'

‐ What should it be?
‐ '100.'

78 sounds like a passing grade.

Barely.

Put him up to four liters. CBC,
blood cultures, ABG, sed rate

and a portable chest.

and hang a gram of Cefotaxime
in case it's pneumonia.

Pneumonia?

I don't even feel
like I have a fever.

The steroids prevent
you from having fevers.

And push 125 of Solu‐Medrol.

You're giving me more steroids?

You could have
a flare‐up of the lupus

with inflammation in the lung.

There's also a chance that
you're throwing blood clots.

Lupus makes your blood
coagulate more easily.

Have you called your own doctor?

No.

‐ I'll call him.
‐ No.

Why, because y‐you think
I'm easier to manipulate?

I'm not nearly as Machiavellian
as you imagine me to be.

I came here because
I prefer your care.

'How's it going?'

'Easy tap when
they're unconscious.'

Looks pretty clear.

‐ Cute kid. What's his name?
‐ Zack.

Cell count, glucose, protein,
Gram's stain and culture.

He's got those shoes
that light up when you walk.

How do you think they do that?

You want to roll him back over?

What is that?

‐ What?
‐ That.

You didn't tell me
he had a macular rash.

It wasn't there
half an hour ago.

‐ It must be a viral exanthem.
‐ Could be measles.

‐ Measles?
‐ Well..

Fever, altered mental
status, pneumonia.

Or more likely he has
a virus with pneumonia

and had a febrile seizure
from the high temperature.

That is a classic measles rash.

Abby, can you hand me
a tongue depressor?

‐ Have you ever seen measles?
‐ No, have you?

Of course not,
nobody's seen measles.

Can you, uh..

He's got Koplik spots
on the buccal mucosa.

What?

Or he bit the inside of his
mouth when he was seizing.

Malik, there's
a Nelson's in the lounge.

Can you go grab it, please?

'Now.'

Is Zack alright?

‐ 'This is Mrs. Woodman.'
‐ I was in court.

I have to turn off my cell
when we're in session.

‐ Oh, my God!
‐ 'I'm Dr. Chen.'

Your son had a seizure
and a high temperature.

We've done a spinal tap
to rule out meningitis.

Mrs. Woodman, are all Zack's
immunizations up to date?

‐ No.
‐ 'Has he had the MMR?'

He hasn't had any immunizations.
None of our children have.

‐ Got it, Dr. Carter.
‐ 'Abby, put a mask on Zack.'

'What's the matter?'

‐ What the hell is happening?
‐ 'Oh, my God!'

We've got to get him
into a laminar flow room.

Call the school.
Don't let anybody leave!

What's the matter with my son?

Your son has measles.

That's not too bad, right?

One in 500 kids
die from measles.

Frank, I'm taking
the Luiz kid up now.

Please, send along the films
when you find them again.

‐ Will you?
‐ Yes, ma'am.

Hi.

Hey.

‐ So, how'd it go?
‐ Fine.

Fine, that's it?

I laid down, they shot
a couple billion more rads

into my skull and then I left.

And that's it?

Hopefully my irradiated
head won't screw up

any navigational equipment
on our next flight.

Alright, alright..

I have to go.

Uh, lunch?

Uh, if I can. Come find me.

Okay.

So did I hear right?
You're done?

Radiation treatment. Just two
more weeks of immune therapy.

‐ Dr. Greene?
‐ Yeah.

That's great.

Hey, they give you
the tumor back?

‐ What?
‐ When they took it out.

Did they give it back to you?

You know, 'cause my
Uncle Al, he's got his

on a mantel in a jar.

Guy over there
wants to talk to you.

You know, Dave, I don't really
want a tumor on my mantel.

Hi. Dr. Greene. Can I help you?

Uh, Robert Wilson.

Is there someplace
we could talk?

Actually, I'm on duty.

It'd be better if
we had some privacy.

‐ I'm sorry, mister, um..
‐ Dr. Wilson.

Dr. Wilson. What is it?

I work for the
Illinois Department of

Professional Regulation.

We've been asked to
evaluate your competency

to continue practicing medicine.

'Where in the hell
did he catch measles?'

Europe, I think.

Mom was in Paris on business

two weeks ago,
took the whole family.

She some fringe lunatic,
thinks immunizations

are a conspiracy between
doctors and drug companies?

Well, I don't think so.

Talk to the mom,
find out if there are

other kids at home
were the child's been.

Anyone he's had contact with
over the last week.

How is he?
They won't let me back there.

We had to move him to a room

with a special
ventilation system

so that he doesn't
contaminate the rest of the ER.

‐ Is he awake?
‐ He's still unconscious.

He has pneumonia, and in all
likelihood, encephalitis.

‐ What's that?
‐ Inflammation around the brain.

Were you able to get
in touch with the preschool?

Yes, all the children
are still there.

Okay, you need to make sure
that they've all been immunized.

Their parents, their siblings

anyone that they've
come into contact with.

There's a phone
at the desk.

Just tell Frank that Dr. Carter
said you could use it.

Okay.

Please.

‐ You have other children?
‐ Yes, a daughter.

I called my husband,
he's coming with her.

And she hasn't been
immunized either?

No. Is Zack gonna be okay?

Well, he's in grave condition

with a highly
contagious disease.

I'm not an irresponsible parent.

I read all the literature
on the internet.

The parenting magazines.

I discussed it
with my pediatrician.

‐ He didn't recommend the MMR?
‐ I breast‐fed.

Zack 's immune system
could have been weakened

from too many vaccinations.

The immune system is
strengthened by vaccines.

Kids are exposed
to foreign antigens every day.

Vaccines aren't completely safe.

I'm sorry. I don't wanna get
into any argument‐‐

‐ They aren't and you know it.
‐ That's not true though..

The connection between
vaccinations and autism?

There is no connection.

Dr. Carter, Zack
dropped his sats.

He's at 75 at 100%.

He's getting cyanotic. I've
already started the atropine.

'Etomidate and sux.
I need a 5‐0 uncuffed ET

and a number two curved blade.

Please, what's going on?

The viral infection
caused so much lung damage

that no oxygen can get
into his bloodstream.

Well, what are you
doing to him?

We've to put
a tube down his throat

and try and get him
some more oxygen.

You have to put him
on a machine to breathe?

If we don't intubate him
right now he's gonna die.

‐ 'I'll do it.'
‐ 'No, I 've got it.'

Not on your first day back.
Step out, doctor.

‐ What..
‐ Step out, doctor.

‐ Give me some suction.
‐ He's throwing PVCs.

Oh, my God!

Come on.

'Come on.'

Okay, I got it.

Good breath sounds bilaterally.

Pulse ox up to 88.

'Tidal volume of 150, AC of 14.'

Let's keep him on 100%
with three of peep.

‐ He's okay now?
‐ Yeah, sure, he's great.

'Is that the bishop's?'

He says he's feeling better.

The oxygen and the medication.

So he'll be able to perform
the ordination this afternoon?

What?

That's where we were headed

when he became ill in the car.

One of the kids that he baptized
at his fist parish

is being ordained
as a priest today.

Where do you think you're going?

I feel much better.

Your ABG shows an
oxygen level of 58

and your sed rate is 84.

‐ 84? Is that good?
‐ No, it's not good.

It's an indication
of active lupus.

Stop buttoning that damn shirt.

Is Joe still outside?

I think I'm gonna
need some help

getting into these pants.

You need to be admitted
to the ICU for IV Cytoxan.

It'll only take me
a couple of hours.

If the inflammation
in your lungs continues

you won't get enough
oxygen to stay alive.

If I skip the reception,
I could be back in here by 6:00.

You'll be dead by 6:00!

It's in God's hands.

God could give a damn!

Is there something
I should sign, so I can go?

'You're kidding! Stephanie?'

Yep, she just up
and moved to Seattle.

I thought she
was living with Deborah.

No, she met a stewardess
on Alaska Airlines.

'Another stewardess!'

Hey! We were just looking
for you. This is Christy.

‐ 'Christy, Kerry.'
‐ Hi.

Hello.

Christy and I
were having coffee.

And I insisted that she
bring me down here.

I'm sorry, but a bunch
of us were beginning

to question your existence.

We were all thinking
about getting together

for dinner tonight,
are you game?

You know, I don't think
I can get off on time.

But thank you for asking.

I checked your schedule.
You get off at 6:00.

Don't worry, nobody bites.

Uh, chief, can I get you
to sign off on this LOL?

Head CT's clear.

‐ 7:30?
‐ Okay.

‐ Oh, great. We'll see you then.
‐ Bye.

That, uh, Legaspi's girlfriend?

Heard she's gay.

I don't know.

What I wouldn't pay to drop in

on that little party, huh?

You turned me in?

There's a guy
from the medical board here

questioning my competency.

‐ Don't walk away from me!
‐ I'm not walking away.

I don't wanna have
this conversation

in the middle of the lobby.

He wants to see
my medical records.

He's planning
on interviewing the staff

to see if I'm still fit
to practicing medicine.

Oh, don't be so melodramatic.

He can pull my license.

I 've been concerned
about the changes

in your personality
since the surgery.

I have tried to talk
to you about it

but you've chosen
to ignore me.

So you call in
the licensing board?

Keep your voice down.

They cut a tumor
out of my head, Kerry.

I'm sorry if I seem
a little different to you.

I wouldn't come back to work
if I couldn't do the job.

‐ What about the aphasia?
‐ It's getting better.

And if you were in
an emergency situation

and you couldn't think of
the name of the drug you wanted

or do the nurses have
to play 20 questions

while the patient dies?

Nobody's dying!

You've been insensitive
and argumentative!

I have not been argumentative!

You've been
shooting from the hip

and I'm not the only one
who's expressed concern.

For the safety of the patients

I felt I had to call the board
for an objective assessment.

I‐I want you to pass, so that
we can all get back to work

confident in your
abilities, okay?

Rich people think if all
the poor kids are immunized

then they don't have to be.

I thought it stopped snowing.

If everybody stops
getting vaccines

then smallpox will be back,
polio, measles.

Then they'll be lined up
around the block begging us

to stick a needle into
precious little Annie's arm.

Fifty‐year‐old male with
non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Persistent nausea and vomiting
despite Compazine at home.

BP's 88/58, pulse 130,
mucous membrane's very dry.

Gave a liter of saline en route.

He only finished
the chemotherapy last week.

Is the cancer back?

No, he's probably just having
a reaction to the chemo.

‐ Hey, how'd that little boy do?
‐ Which one?

The kid with the febrile
seizure from the preschool.

‐ You brought him in?
‐ Yeah, a couple hours ago.

‐ Uh‐oh.
‐ They didn't call you?

‐ About what?
‐ He has measles.

You transported
an immunosuppressed

patient in the same rig?

‐ What does that mean?
‐ Dammit! Nobody told us!

I'll need a CBC..

Watch your step.

Excuse me.

I need to review
a file of an applicant

who wasn't given an interview.

‐ 'And you are?'
‐ Peter Benton.

I'm the new
director of diversity.

Oh, lucky you.

‐ This year?
‐ Yeah.

It'd be in the reject pile.

‐ What's the name?
‐ White, William White.

We had over 3,000
applications for 150 spots.

Big pile.

Director of diversity, huh?

That position's
a little quixotic

around here these days.

My David wouldn't be
working for Morgan Stanley

without affirmative action.

William Jackson White.

Thank you.

Excuse me, do you
keep files of past

candidates that were accepted?
I need to compare them.

Compared to
last year's acceptances.

They're over there
by graduating year.

2004 is on the right.

'Student affairs.'

'Fax it over.'

'I'll be looking for it.'

'Student affairs.'

'Yeah.'

What are you doing out here?

Just getting some air.

What's the matter?

How's your bishop?

He just left.

That's good, right?

He's having
an acute lupus flare.

He left AMA.

So go get him.

Take some oxygen,
make sure he's okay.

He‐he knew what he was doing.

I'm not his keeper.

‐ So this is you, huh?
‐ Yep.

Could use a little something.
What is that back there?

My room with a view.
Cafeteria kitchen.

Vending machine only had turkey
and egg salad, no veggie.

Ah, thank you.

Hear about our measles
kid downstairs?

Four‐years‐old,
parents didn't vaccinate.

What's all this?

Med school applications.

Thinking about starting over?

Is this your file?

Uh, this Black kid applied
and didn't get an interview.

I went to records to find
out why and found that.

Oh, yeah? Anything interesting?

Yeah, my file
wasn't with the rest.

it was in the back with three
others filed under AA.

Affirmative action.

‐ That surprise you?
‐ Hell yeah.

Look, my grades were good,
my MCAT scores were competitive.

Yeah, but..

When I compared it
to the other applicants

that were accepted that year,
I shouldn't have even gotten in.

You're an excellent
physician, Peter.

They were right to let you in.

Oh, yeah?

This is the file of the kid

that didn't even get
an interview this year.

William White, his grades,
his MCAT scores

they're better than mine were.

Bishop Stewart?

Dammit!

I'm okay.

How long have you
been having trouble breathing?

I'm just gathering
my strength.

You have to go to the hospital.

It's pretty..

...isn't it?

The snow.

So much beauty.

Where is the phone?
I need to call an ambulance.

No, please.

I only need a minute.

You're dying.

Evidently.

As I was sitting here,
I was reminded of the night

I chose to become a priest.

I'd been struggling
with it for a long time.

Several years.

Anyway, that night
I couldn't sleep

So I.. I got up and..

...went out for a walk..

...in the woods,
behind my father's house.

It was snowing like it is now.

I don't have any idea
how long I walked

but at a certain point..

...I suddenly realized
I didn't know which way to go.

I'd gotten lost.

I was frightened.

As I looked up
into that dark night..

...he came to me.

I saw all those
millions of snowflakes

drifting down toward me.

So still..

...so peaceful.

Perfect.

And I was filled with the love
of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Like pouring wine..

...into an empty glass.

I'm afraid..

...I may have wasted my life.

For some reason,
I never accomplished

the things I should've.

What God wanted of me.

'And now I'm frightened.'

I'm afraid of dying.

There, I said it.

I am afraid to die.

You have to go to the hospital.

'"The Lord is my shepherd'

'"I shall not want.'

"He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures.

'"He leadeth me beside
the still waters.."'

Is he alright?

‐ No.
‐ 'Yes.'

'The procession is forming.'

What should I tell them?

Tell them..

I think I have
to skip the processional.

'When did you lose your faith?'

I've found with most people
it comes and goes..

Like intimacy,
in a relationship.

Sometimes, it's so strong..

...a passion, rapture..

...and then at other times
it's impossible, distant, lost.

But that's not God.

That's us.

We put up our own barriers..

...with our egos..

...and our pain.

He's always there.

No matter what.

Bach.

I love Bach.

Well..

That's my cue.

So, Kevin, why do you
wanna be a doctor?

I've given that question
a great deal of thought

and I think it all
boils down to one thing.

I really wanna help people.

My dad died of lung cancer,
and I was 12.

And I vowed
I would work for a cure..

My research in molecular biology
has been very rewarding.

I expect we'll see
gene therapy in our lifetime.

I'm a people person.

The bottom line is,
I really want to help people.

I volunteered for the pediatrics
ward, I'm very empathetic.

'When I saw my kitty
suffering like that'

I knew that I had a calling..

...to help people
in their time of need...

And I think you have to
combine humanistic skills..

...with a passion
for making a difference.

And I‐I really just
wanna help people.

I just wanna help people.

I wanna help people.

Help people.

How dare you?
Dammit, Kerry!

They sawed off half his skull
then they inserted high‐dosage‐‐

Hello, Elizabeth, how are you?

...chemotherapy wavers
into the empty cavity.

It caused temporary swelling
right next to Broca's.

Of course he had
a little aphasia!

But that was six weeks ago.

The swelling's gone down,
and he's back to normal.

If anything, I find his
honesty rather refreshing.

We could all do with a little
more candor around here.

Candidly speaking
then, are you sure

that you can be
objective about this?

Of course I'm not objective!

Look, I've been
with him every moment

and I can tell you,
he's making remarkable progress

and is no danger to anyone.

Except, perhaps, easily
threatened minor demigods.

He may be endangering patients.

I'm not unsympathetic
to his circumstances.

But I have larger
responsibilities.

It's despicable, and you
should be ashamed of yourself.

I hope that you end up with
a possibly fatal illness

one day, Kerry, so that I can do
absolutely nothing to help you.

What was that about?

Uh, some days I really
hate this job.

You, me, and everyone
else around here.

Are you ready?

‐ Dinner?
‐ Right.

Yes, I just have
to, uh, drop this off.

Carter, you've still got
that leg lac waiting in sutures.

I'm on it.

Get there by Easter,
would you, please?

Yeah, I am.

‐ Hey, Malik?
‐ Yeah.

Is this the measles kid's
post intubation film?

Yeah, Woodman.

How come it didn't go
up to the PICU with him?

‐ I'll take it up.
‐ No, that's alright.

I'll do it.
I want to check on him anyway.

Phi Beta Kappa, Yale.
GPA's 3.95.

'MCATs in the 97th percentile.'

Yeah, sure.

‐ Peter?
‐ Alright.

And Carpenter.

University of Georgia.

Wait, was this
the, uh, the geek

in the smashing pumpkins t‐shirt
with the.. With the lisp?

Sarah.

Redhead, glasses?

Oh, yeah, right, right.

GPA 3.79, 94th percentile
on the MCATs.

'Finalist for
the Falsberg Science Award.'

Whatever the hell that is.
We've got better.

Peter?

No.

'Okay, that's it for today.'

'We are recommending two'

'to the full
committee and rejecting 14.'

Great, I still might make it
home in time for "SportsCenter."

Uh, there is another
candidate I'd like to discuss.

William White.

Who?

His MCAT scores were only

in the 91st percentile

'but his GPA was 3.80
and he was class president.'

Wait, I don't see
him on the list.

We didn't grant him
an interview.

I met with him today,
and he asked

me to reconsider
his application.

Oh, no, is this that whiner
I told you to get rid of?

'Where did he go to school?'

University of Illinois, Chicago.

'My gardener could've
gotten a 3.8 at the U of I.'

And he had his head run over
by an ice cream truck as a kid.

I went to
the University of Illinois.

Alright, his MCATs are well
below our admissions standards.

MCATs don't predict
how good a doctor you'll be.

Just what you'll do the first
two years of med school.

This kid is bright,
he's dedicated..

‐ He's Black!
‐ Yeah, he's Black.

'Affirmative action is
against the law, Peter.'

'Well, you know what,
we didn't interview'

one Black or Latino
candidate today.

We have a colorblind
admissions policy.

'If he was good enough to get
in, he would have been here.'

Minority kids don't
have the same access

to academic opportunities.

And what, you want
to address that

by advancing
under qualified applicants

at the expense of our
integrity and theirs?

I want him to have an interview.

Vicki is dating guys now

and Carol is
getting married to one.

Oh, both of those women marched

in every gay pride parade
for the past 15 years.

‐ I don't get it.
‐ I do.

You get society's
blessing, your family's.

Survivor benefits, tax breaks.

And all you got to do is lay
there a few times a week.

I'm sorry, we're not
usually this bad.

Oh, it's okay.

Hey..

Do you realize that
everyone at this table

has slept with Kim?

'Oh, my God.'

Cut it out, you guys..

I bet she brought a U‐Haul
on your second date, right?

I don't understand.

It's a lesbian joke.

A bad one.

Do‐do you want another drink?

Actually, I gotta go.

I have an early shift tomorrow.

‐ Kerry..
‐ It was really..

It's really nice
to meet you both.

‐ Wait, are you upset?
‐ No.

Well, why are you leaving then?

I don't belong here.
I don't belong here.

I dated Christy in college.

Kate and I dated for maybe
a month, ten years ago‐‐

It's not that.
It's not that.

It‐it's.. This isn't me.

I mean, my‐my experience, I..

The jokes,
your friends, I'm‐I'm..

I care about you.

I'm‐I'm not interested
in‐in adopting a lifestyle.

Well, I can't believe
you just said that.

I'll call you later.

Just drive.

'Dr. Kovac!'

I‐I was helping him
off‐off with his dolman.

and he was very short of breath
and he just collapsed..

Oh, God.

Bishop Stewart, can you hear me?

Call 911, tell them
we have a man

with impending
respiratory arrest.

Mark?

Mark, are you home?

Mark?

Mark?

Are you okay?

He recommended formal
competency testing.

Psychiatrists,
neuropsychologists

MRI, personality tests..

It's gonna take five days.

I'm so sorry.

The good times just keep comin'.

Luka?

What are you doing?

I‐I couldn't find a forest.

What?

You brought
Bishop Stewart back in?

How's he doing?

He's dying.

He might surprise you.

We get enough miracles
around here, why not one more?

I'm freezing.

‐ You ready to go home?
‐ Yeah.
