Emily Owens M.D. (2012–2013): Season 1, Episode 13 - Emily and... The Leap - full transcript

Previously on
"Emily Owens, M.D."...

Talk to me about Dr. Owens.

You clearly like her.

She has no idea.

This thing with Emily...

There's no thing with Emily.

Then choose.

Cassandra...

We're done.

I'm done with Will.

I want to be
someone's first choice.



Thank you.

EMILY: I learned early on that
I was the master of mistakes.

I'm really sorry, Micah,
for what I said.

It was... it was dumb.

It's fine. I'm fine.

So you don't want
to talk about it?

About the breakup?

What's to talk about?

I'm fine, like I said.

Like I said,
when you kissed me, I was...

I was really, really surprised.

Mistakes you wish
you could take back.

Thank you.

For that explanation.



You have to get over the fact
that I said thank you.

It's not that funny.

What's funny?

Uh, I... You, your reaction.

I'm just... you know,
I'm a little... little confused.

Just so confused, Tyra.

We did date. Right?

It's over. You chose Emily.

Are you confused
because of Will?

No. I'm... What do you mean?

What are you talking about?
I didn't choose Emily.

Yes, you did.

And it's okay. I'm fine.

What can you do?
Relationships end, right?

Just like that? Four years
of being in love with him?

And just,
overnight it's gone?

It's not gone.

It's just squashed
very deep down.

And I would rather focus on
something very, very good

that's right in front of me.

WOMAN: Let me... get in.

I need to get some water.

WOMAN 2: Wait your turn! Go!

Just go for it, then.

No, I can't just go
for it. He's my boss.

There's all kinds of
professional implications.

WOMAN: Stupid jerk.

MAN: Ma'am, we're going
to have to ask you to leave.

So you're not going
to go out with Micah?

I want to. That's the thing.

(crashing)
WOMAN 3: Oh, my God.

Watch out. We're doctors.

Shallow.
She looks dehydrated.

Look at her hand.
Someone call 911.

Get off me.
Ma'am, we're doctors.

We're going to have
to take you to the hospital.

I'm not going to any hospital.

You're very sick. Pshh.

Come here.

I'm not going
to any damn hospital!

Stop looking at me,
you ugly bat.

Mrs. Bednevik.

How'd you know my name?

Driver's license.

Can I get some water?

Please.

Yep.

So, you're running

a pretty high fever,
and there's a serious

infection in your hand.

We just want to treat you.

The quicker that we do that,
the quicker you can get home.

Like I said, I make mistakes.

Loads of mistakes.

Thank you.

Again with the thank you.

Micah.

Um, I'm so sorry about that.

I was... I was just...
I was surprised

because I hadn't thought
about you that way.

I mean, I had thought
about you like that

because you're cute, funny...

but you're also my boss.

Hey, should we maybe have
this conversation in private?

Yeah.

(chuckles)

I was...

I was just going
to talk to you about, uh...

Are you guys, like,
working or something?

We were going to talk
about something.

Okay, no problem.
I'll just...

(pager beeping)

Oh.

Uh, I have to get this.

We'll talk later.

Okay.

You buttering him up
so he'll pick you to assist

on his triple A repair?

Hmm?

Well, Dr. Bandari's
on vacation, so...

Dr. Barnes
is heading the procedure.

Oh, no, I didn't...
I didn't know.

Yeah.

I mean, not that you need
to butter him up.

I... I think
he actually likes you.

What did you want
to, um, talk to me about?

Yeah, um, oh...

Just how Cassandra's
being crazy...

He does.

Like me. Micah does.

Uh, do you like him?

Yeah, I think I do.

But he's my boss.

Right.

That's true.

I should change.

George Morgan, 35, admitted

for witnessed episode
of syncope

and exertional dyspnea.

Review of symptoms: Numbness,
light-headedness, nausea

and vomiting times one.

MICAH:
Uh, full syncope work-up,

including serum lytes,
urinalysis, an EEG

and dobutamine echo.

I'm Dr. Owens.

Any other symptoms
before fainting?

My head hurt.

But I don't sleep a lot, so...

Why is that?

Just stress.

Hey. She's looking for, uh...

How did you know I was here?

Your office called.

I'm still your
"in case of emergency."

This is my ex-wife.

Ashley.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just psed out at work.

Not sleeping still?

Mr. Morgan,
if you're really not sleeping,

we should talk
about ways to reduce stress...

There's not a way.

Anyway, thanks for coming.

EMILY: Um... we'll
order the tests.

He won't be able
to reduce stress.

Or, maybe eventually,
but not right now,

and I don't want him
to get sick.

So maybe you should know in
case it affects his treatment

or what he needs.

What's going on?

Well, next week will
be a year since,

uh, Daniel, our son, died.

We brought him here, but, well,
obviously, it's a hard time.

That's really awful.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah...

Anyhow, I just wanted you
to know in case it makes

a difference for George.

Okay.

Okay, I'll bite.

What's the big news?

I called your sister last night,
and I told her I was sick.

Oh, wow.

That is big.

What made you change your mind?

The surgery.

Something could have
gone wrong, and well...

Yeah.

And she's coming here... today.

What?!

What happened
to the 48-hour rule?

I mean, we need time
to prepare.

Batten down the hatches.

Micah, she's in
a much better place.

She-she has her job.

And Oliver's a good influence.

Don't tell her that, though.

She'll break up with him.

I know, I've always been
properly disapproving.

Okay.

Okay, let's see.

Oh, crap.

Not you.

Get me a new doctor.

You're crazy.

Bitch, you're calling me crazy?

There is no new doctor.

I'm your doctor.

It's just you and me.

I want to get out of here.

Well, then, we have
the same goal.

Can I see your hand?

Were you bitten by anything?

No, were you?

No, but I don't have a
raging bacterial infection

in my hand.

I would've known
if something had bit me.

Bacteria can get in,
in a number of ways.

I am going to start you
on an antibiotic drip...

Just give me some pills.
I'll take them at home.

Pills won't be strong enough.

I'll double them up.

And potentially lose your hand.

You're lying.

Mrs. Bednevik, I'm not lying.

(cell phone chimes)

I'll have someone
come and remove that.

Stay away from
my food, piggy.

Hey.

So...

So, you were surprised.

Mm-hmm. Very.

How did you not know
I liked you?

Because you're my boss.

I didn't...
I didn't go there.

Ever?

When I did go there,
I would try not to go there.

Okay, good.

So, then, stop trying
not to go there.

I do like you.

Then let's go on a date.

But you're also my boss.

Which complicates things
and it scares me,

so I just, I want to
think things through.

Look before leaping
and... all that.

Okay, no problem.

We'll hash it out over lunch.

I'm not going to stand by
while you convince yourself

that we shouldn't
give this a try.

I'm involved now, so...

you know, we'll-we'll...
we'll talk about it together.

Sounds kind of like a date.

Whoa. Whoa. No.

No, definitely not a date.

I mean, that would...
that would be confusing,

seeing as how we
haven't even decided

it's a good idea
to go on a date.

Right.

Records room, 1:00 p.m.

Bring your own lunch.

Which... I would never say
if this was a real date.

WOMAN: Yeah, but he's
got that back thing.

WOMAN 2: Come on.

That is such a load of bunk.

Question:

Is there a medical condition
that flares up

when the word
air mattress is mentioned?

Our youngest son hates
to sleep on air mattresses.

And he says he's got
this thing in his back.

This thing that doesn't stop him
from playing flag football

with all his college buddies.

Well, technically, air
mattress-itis can come and go.

Ah, there you go.

Yeah.

So, what brings you here?

Oh, this one is a worrywart.

I just have this cough.
It's...

She was having
heart palpitations,

and she coughed
so hard she collapsed.

Yeah, well,
when you put it that way.

Okay, well, you probably
have a spot of pneumonia.

(woman coughs)
We'll get a chest X ray.

Just get me out of here

before all the kids descend
this weekend.

We're going to do our best.

You also need an EKG, okay?

You single?

Oh, Maggie!

MAGGIE: Like you
weren't thinking it.

We have a daughter.

She's very smart,
very pretty.

Oh, no, did I step in it?

No, uh, as it turns out,
he is single. Newly.

From me. Nice going.

Oh... sorry, I had no idea.

It's fine; For the best.

Uh, you run the EKG,
and I'll order the X ray.

Okay, I'm just gonna put these
leads on you, all right?

So why'd you dump her?

No, I didn't. She, uh...
she actually dumped me.

Whoa. Big mistake. No way.

I appreciate that. Thank you.

Uh, but, uh, you know, whatever.
Relationships end, right?

Until you find
the one that doesn't.

Yeah.

What are you looking at?

Just some old
pictures of you.

Micah Mouse.

Did you hear
my sister's coming?

I did.

I'm excited to meet her.

Eh, approach with caution.

Like a wild animal.

Micah.

That's enough.

Listen, I have
some pretty big news.

You got into the
clinical trial, Mom.

The one at Mayo.

Now, they've had results.
Like, real results.

Starts in two weeks.

Whoa, hey, this is good news.

This is what we've
been hoping for.

I know we were.

Um...

Talk to me.

I've got to be realistic.

I have a terminal disease.

And the thought of more chemo

in my last months is just...

It might not be
your last month.

I'm ready to go.

This is my life,

and I'm ready to go.

Where did she go?

I have no idea. She...

The crazy lady disconnected
her I.V. line and took off.

Shoot.

Call the police.

If she gets an infection from
the I.V., then we're liable.

And have maintenance
come and clean up.

It's a mess.

So, everything okay?

Mags, shh.

Let the man do his thing.

The man has done his thing.

Yes, your EKG looks great.

Oh, thank God.

What about the pneumonia?

(coughing) Uh, you know,

it's nothing I'd be
too concerned about

as long as we get her
on an antibiotic.

So I'm going to
prescribe azithromycin.

Okay, we're going to give
you your first dose here.

But I tell you what, if you
don't feel significantly better

in the next couple
of days, come back.

No problem.

Amy will bring me back.

Our daughter. The cute one.

(chuckles) (Maggie coughs)

You know, for what
it's worth,

she really seemed cold.

That doctor that dumped you.

(Maggie coughs)

Yeah.

She did, though, right?

Which is weird because she was
like that with everyone else,

but with me, it was
different, you know.

Really?

Well, whatever,
I guess I was wrong.

Special instructions
on the, uh... on the back.

(laughs)

No air mattresses.

Thank you!

(laughing)

Hey. You looking
for an apartment?

No, I'm just IM'ing
with an old booty call.

Hey, do you mind clearing out

of your place tonight?
Roomie.

Just sleep at Micah's.

You're sleeping at Micah's?

No. I'm...

No.

So you decided
not to date him?

No, we haven't
decided anything.

We're having lunch today

to hash everything out.

Well, that sounds romantic.

It's not romantic.
That-that's the point.

We're deciding whether
or not to be romantic.

Trust me, the kiss
was very romantic.

You know, you might want
to be careful

of the whole boss thing at work.

It gets a little complicated.

Yeah, I'm aware.

It's why we're having lunch.

(pagers beeping)

ASHLEY: I'll leave when
I know you're okay.

GEORGE: Ashley...

So, uh, your labs
came back all clear.

Which means you probably
just passed out

because you stood up
quickly and you're tired.

So I can go? WILL: Yeah.

Yeah, the nurse will be up
with your discharge paperwork.

Just try to get
some sleep, okay?

I'll just take a cab.

Just let me drive you.

George!

Mr. Morgan.

Mr. Morgan. You all right?

I got you. Hold still. What?

ASHLEY: Honey.
George, are you okay?

I can't feel...

Squeeze my hand.

We've got to get you a CT.

I think you may have
just had a stroke.

- A tumor?
- Yes.

About the size of a golf ball

on your right temporal lobe.

What does that mean?
Do you take it out?

We have to.

It's pressuring
other vessels,

and it's causing
minor bleeds.

Which is why your husband...

Ex... um, ex-husband.

Why your ex-husband
had the stroke.

Okay.

There's no choice, so...

I'll talk to neurosurgery
about prepping an O.R.

Can you hold the elevator?

Micah!

Liz. Hey, I just heard...

What the hell, Micah? Ow!

How could you not
tell me about Mom?

No... No, do you know what?

Okay, come here. Come on. No!

Come on, over here.

You need to calm down.

No, don't you dare
tell me to calm down.

I just saw her, okay?

She has... she has no hair, and
she's lost all of this weight.

She asked me not to tell you.

It was her thing, so I-I just...

I... she just felt like
you were doing so much better.

You know, I don't even
know what that means.

It is so condescending.

Just that you got a job
and you were thinking

of going back to school.

Shut up, Micah. Just shut up.

So... so-so-so what,
so she's...

so she's just going
to die or something?

She could.

But look, I got her
into this new trial and...

it's a long shot,
but it's still a shot at least.

Okay, so when
does that start?

She doesn't want to do it.

What? No, she has to do it.

Micah, you have to tell
her she has to do it.

Has that ever worked
with you?

(sighs)

What are we going to do?

We're going to try
and convince her together.

I'm really mad at you, Mouse.

I know.

Oh, come here.

(sighs)

Don't call me that
at work, okay?

Oh...

Jules drives
like an old lady.

I could've gotten to the car
faster in this chair.

Why'd you dump him?

I think he's in love
with someone else.

Sorry, uh...

My God, I'm sorry.

No, don't be.

That's okay.

You know, Jules and I
broke up once.

And I had to go
on antidepressants,

and then I realized
I just had to suck up my pride

and apologize
and get her back.

You know, that's just
what worked for us.

Thank you for everything.

(sniffles)

You okay?

I'm fine.

WILL: Emily.

Hey.

Hi.

Uh, black, one sugar,
and an extra sweet

skinny vanilla latte please.

Oh, no vanilla.

Over the sweet thing.

(clears throat)

Um, look, I'm sorry that
I was weird earlier, okay?

About you and Micah.

You can date
whoever you want.

Just, obviously, I'm
dealing with this whole

work relationship
breakup thing.

So, you know, that's
where I was coming from.

Micah and I are
different, though.

We got to know
each other first.

Ouch. Just saying...

Yeah, it's true, you
know, it's... very true.

Also, you were... you were
right about Cassandra.

She's not even phased by this
whole breakup thing at all.

She's proud... you know that.

Wow. First you're over
vanilla lattes,

and now you're trying
to convince me

that Cassandra's
not that bad, huh?

I'll take care of it.

Thanks. Yeah.

And I also... I just
think maybe the reason

I reacted the way I...
just the idea of you dating

somebody for real is...
is kind of weird.

I get it.

You're used to having
me around,

and that would change.

What if I don't want things
to change?

They have to.

Why?

I dated Cassandra,
nothing changed.

You broke up.

(car horn honking)

JULES: Somebody help!

Help!

What do we got here?

You got pulse? No.

Code blue, we need
help out here!

We were just driving
and she passed out.

Help her, please. Help her.

Okay, okay.

We need help!

Code blue, we need
help out here.

Oh, God. Oh, God, Maggie.

We're gonna lift her
on three, okay?

On me, one, two, three, lift.

What's happening?

We need a crash cart now!

What's happening?
Somebody, please.

She most likely had
a heart attack.

We're going to try
and bring her back, okay?

Clear!

Clear!

Will, she's been down
25 minutes.

Time of death: 11:32.

(sobbing)

MRS. BEDNEVIK:
I can do it by myself!

MAN: Mrs. Bednevik, please...

Would you stop!

Calm down. I know the way.

Mom, calm down.

Mrs. Bednevik, good.

This is all your fault. Mom!

What is wrong with you?
Stop it right now.

I'm so sorry about my mother.

I don't know
what's wrong with her.

This way.

Walk, Mom.

She's one of those
crazy hoarder types.

Really?

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

We have to call
the Department of Health.

You can smell the place
a block away.

Just... gross.

(sighs)

I'm so embarrassed,
I don't know what to say.

MRS. BEDNEVIK:
I'm trying, Diana.

I told you, I'm trying.

It's okay.
We have to treat you.

I can see that the infection

on your hand's
gotten much worse.

We're going to have to drain it
surgically.

Please, just let me go home.

You're not going home.
Period.

What? Mom, your house was
declared a health hazard.

I hadn't been there in
maybe a year and a half.

I tried to clear it out
a few times

before I finally just gave up.

Diana, listen,
you have to let me get my cats.

Mom, the police
called animal control

and the health department.

No, no... Mrs. Bednevik.

Calm down, Mom.
You got them taken away!

Don't you touch me!

She was after me
all the time.

Mom! I knew it.

I knew it. Let me go! Mom...

We need help in here.
Code gray.

I want my cats!

What's a code gray?

Let me go! It's a
psych takedown.

We'll keep her here 14 days.

It should give you time
to, um, find a place.

MRS. BEDNEVIK: No!

Yeah, it's totally creepy.

It shouldn't even be legal.

Stuff that's, like,
banned in Europe.

What's banned in Europe?

Oh, the chemicals
that we put in hair dye.

It was practically
poisoning me,

breathing it in every day.

That's why I had to
leave the salon.

What? What? I saw that.
What was that?

Honey...

No, I hate when you guys
give looks about me.

Liz! Just calm down.

No, stop telling
me to calm down.

You know what? Fine. Fine.

I will go back to the salon,
and I will get cancer.

Are you happy?

I'm sorry. I didn't...

It's okay.

MICAH: Okay, look.

We're all a little emotional
right now.

You, me, Liz.

We know how tired you are.

I'm not tired.

Raising you kids alone,
I was tired.

This is not tired.

I want to leave the hospital.

I want to spend time
with my children...

Mom, stop.

Oh, my God, this
is so screwed up.

This is so screwed up
that I have to

tell you like this, this way.

This is so screwed up.

JOYCE: What?

No, this is so screwed up.

I'm pregnant.

What?

That is why I left
the stupid salon.

Not because I
can't keep a job,

like you guys think.

Don't judge me. Stop.

E not. But...

Is it Oliver's? Does he know?

Yeah, and he
doesn't care, okay?

He told me to get rid
of it, and I was going to,

but when I got
there, I just...

I couldn't do it.

How far along are you?

Um, I think, like, 11 weeks.

I-I mean, I haven't
seen a doctor.

Okay, look, I'll make you
an appointment.

EMILY: Ashley.

You know we have
a waiting room?

When we brought Daniel in,
we sat in there, so...

Is there anything
that I can... get you?

I'm usually not like this.

It's just being here
and seeing George and...

and the way he blames me.

I just went
to the laundry room.

Daniel was playing
with these cars,

so I just thought I'd put
the clothes in.

The wheel came off,
and he swallowed...

You okay?

Yeah.

Just letting the stress
of my sister,

my pregnant sister,
drain from my body.

(sighs) No, no, no.

Lying down looks nice.

I have the saddest case.

Your sister's pregnant?

Apparently.

(sighs)

Hey, thank God this
isn't a first date.

Family drama's not great
first date material.

Everybody's got it.

You don't talk about yours.

True.

Okay.

My mom is complicated.

Sometimes she's a train wreck,

sometimes she's a whirlwind.

She's been through
a lot of phases

and a lot of men.

What about your dad?

I've only met him once.

Um, my mom was, uh,
the other woman.

Pretty sordid, huh?

(sighs)

My mom is the queen
of mistakes.

She just, she dives
headlong into everything.

Doesn't look
before she leaps...

Nope.

And it always ends terribly.

Which is why
I am the opposite.

I think things through.

I move at a glacial pace,
and then, when I actually

do fall for someone,
I latch onto them

like a barnacle
that you can't pry off.

You trying to scare me?

Is it working?

No.

Thanks for telling me
about your mom.

I like talking to you.

Not... just talking, I hope.

Uh-uh.

Not just talking.

All right, we got to...

Let's figure this out.

(laughs)

Okay.

Worst case scenario:

We date, and then one of us...
probably you...

is just a huge douche bag.

And then... then we have to
work together after that

and it blows.

'Cause you don't
pick me for procedures

because you're angry.

No, no.
I would never do that.

Doesn't even matter how big
of a douche bag you were.

Okay, or...

it's great, but then every time
you choose me for something,

people think
I'm getting special treatment.

Well, who cares
what other people think?

Look, it's true,
a lot could go wrong, but...

I also think a lot
could go pretty right.

Don't you?

Yeah, I do.

So, let's take a leap.

I want to take you out
on a real date.

How could you follow up
the records room?

You just leave that to me.

You in?

I got to tell you,
I'm confused.

So now, all of the sudden,
you want to talk?

It's about Maggie.

The reason she died.

I was going back over
everything in my mind,

to see if we
missed something,

and I realized she told me

she was on
antidepressants once.

Which wasn't in her chart.

Antidepressants,
you mean long QT?

Did you check the EKG?

I didn't want to
do it out there.

Oh, God.

The meds I prescribed...

It's so hard to catch.

Even cardiologists miss it.

I gave her
a fatal arrhythmia.

It was a mistake.

Yeah...

yeah, you know, I mean,

that's what
I'll tell her wife, right?

I'm sorry, I made a mistake.

No... don't tell anyone.

Look, the antidepressant thing
isn't in the chart.

The EKG looks normal.
No one will catch it.

What are you talking about?

It'll be on your
record forever.

It'll follow you
to every interview

and every hospital
for the rest of your career.

And it won't bring her back.

I don't know why
it took me so long

to see that my mom
was so sick.

I think it was just
so hard to accept.

Because of how she used
to be and how quickly,

you know, things changed.

What do you mean,
how... how quickly?

It started about
seven years ago.

I went to college,
so I bought her this cat.

Figured it'd be good to have

another heartbeat
in the house,

but then I came home
for Christmas,

and there were seven of them.

No joke.

And then the hoarding began.

Um, was this her first cat?

Mm-hmm.

Need toxo screens

on Mrs. Bednevik's, uh,
blood samples, please?

Has he chosen his,
uh, assistant?

Yeah, he's about
to do it now.

Okay, rumor has it
one of you is assisting

on the triple A repair.

Dr. Kopelson.
I'll see you in the O.R.

What are you doing?

Oh, relax, I'm not
actually pregnant.

Oh... I knew it. I knew it!

Yeah, well, so what?
So I lied.

What were you thinking?

Um, I was thinking

that I don't want
our mother to die.

Look, I want her
to do the trial, too...

Yeah, well, you heard her.
She won't.

Unless something changed,
she won't.

And... and this way,
she has something to live for.

No, you know that it's true.

And... and once she's in there
and started, then-then, uh...

I'll lose the baby or whatever.

But it won't matter
because she'll already

be in that stupid trial.

Liz, we can't.

She's going to die, Micah.

If we don't do this,
she's going to die.

Yes, yes, I definitely
felt that, too.

Okay.

Can we stop the torture?

I just want to make sure,
you know, everywhere...

Will, his reflexes are fine.

You've checked
and double-checked.

Just wanted to make sure
you were okay.

Come here, babe.

What's wrong?

Come here.

Is this about the guest list?

What?

I-I just had brain surgery.

It's not important
in the scheme of things.

We'll spend more money.
So what?

It's our wedding.

We're getting married
in three months.

How is it possible that he
lost the last four years?

Well, there's just so
much that we don't know

about the brain.

A lesion to the right-frontal
temporal lobe

can affect memory.

You have to tell him...
about Daniel.

Imagine him finding out
from a stranger.

I just... I don't want you
to regret it

and then feel even more guilty.

But you saw him in there.

He loves me again.

And the minute I tell
him, that'll go away.

Again.

It's a pretty awful thing
to admit to.

I know, but she'll feel worse
if she doesn't tell him.

Hey, looks great.

Yeah, it's 'cause
it's real human hair.

It's expensive.

Stole it from the salon.

So, I, uh, changed my mind...

about the trial.

Got to try and see
the grandkid, right?

Yeah, I think that's
a good decision.

Have you seen Ashley?
Where is she?

She needed some time.

Why?

George, we have
some difficult news.

Your surgery resulted
in a memory lapse.

What?

It's 2013.

So, we're married, then?

If we're married,
where is she?

George, you're...

you're divorced.

What?

No. Why?

(Ashley clears throat)

Ashley, what happened?

I don't understand.

We had a son.

His name was Daniel.

And when he was two years old,
I left the room

and he choked on a toy.

(crying): And I am so sorry.

Are you okay?

What?

Living with that.

You never asked me that before.

You just blamed me.

I'm sorry.

I don't remember our son,
Ashley.

But I remember
how much I love you.

I don't know if I'd
be able to do that.

You would.

I know you. Trust me.

Labs on the hoarder.

Thank you.

See you.

Yeah.

How you feeling?

Lousy.

Mom, please.

MRS. BEDNEVIK: What? I am.

Being shipped off
to that nuthouse.

Maybe not.

You said that the hoarding

and the personality change

didn't start until after
she got the cat,

so I ran a blood test.

You have a virus
called toxoplasmosis.

It's an infection
spread by cat feces.

Most people don't
react to it.

But in rare cases, it can cause

schizophreniform
personality disorder.

What?

We can treat this.

You're going to need therapy,
and it's going to be hard work,

but you'll get back to
the person that you were.

So it wasn't my fault.

No. (Sigh of relief)

Well, I'm feeling kind of bad
about you right now.

Want to throw some water

on me or something?

I'll pass,
but I appreciate the offer.

Hey... I wanted to talk
to you about something.

Yeah.

Oh, Emily, uh, this
is my sister Liz.

Hi. Uh...

it's... uh, congratulations.

Yeah, thanks.

MICAH: Okay, I'll meet
you in the cafeteria.

What's up?

Um... this might be
a dumb question,

but... the-the triple A repair.

Did you not pick me
because of the date?

No, you said you didn't
want special treatment.

Would it have been
special treatment?

Or would you have picked me,
if not for all

the other stuff going on?

Probably would have picked you.

(sighs)
Okay, so I screwed up,

and I overcorrected.
I'm not going to let it

affect me in the future.
I promise.

It's-it's my career, and I
don't want to make a mistake.

Hey, me, neither.

Which is why I'm not
going to let you back out.

Listen, I need to go get Liz

before she burns
the hospital down.

(sighs)

WILL: Julia?

I... I spoke with
the hospital administration,

and I wanted
to be the one to tell you.

Maggie had a,
uh, heart condition

called long QT.

Basically, after every beat,
the heart has to reset itself...

"repolarize"
is what we call it...

and with long QT,
um, that happens slower.

So, that's why she died?

(clears throat) No.

Um...

Maggie died, uh,
because I didn't...

I didn't realize
that she had it.

It's very rare, and it's
hard to see on the EKG.

And, um, the medication
that I prescribed for her,

azithromycin,

actually lengthens the QT
even more.

And it causes the, um,
heart to short-circuit.

I'm... uh, I'm so sorry.

And like I said, it's rare
and, um... very hard to see,

but I feel like, you know,
that I should've...

uh, seen it.

(elevator bell dings)

I, uh...
the children are coming.

I have to get home
to the children.

Hey.

Are you okay?

It's awful, Will,
but it... it happens.

But you admitted to it.

And that was really brave.

I told her because of you.

It's the way you see me.

This guy who does
the right thing.

And I want to be that guy.

It's who you are.

It's who I am
when I'm with you.

EMILY: You're over him.
He's just a friend.

I should go.

Tyra's sleeping out,
so I'll finally

get some peace and quiet.

Yeah...

Did you, um, decide what
you're doing with Micah?

Make a decision?

So confused.

Me, too.

I'm confused
about you, actually.

And I know, it's...

it's awful timing.
It's bad timing.

It's like,
the moment you get over me,

I start to think that maybe

there's something
that could...

Yeah...

Really bad timing.

What was the moment
that, uh, you got over me?

There had to have been
a moment, right?

What did I do?

You ran after Cassandra

when I got
that research position.

And I realized
that I wanted to be chosen.

Wow.

What?

That is actually why
she broke up with me.

She wanted me to...
she wanted me to choose

between you and her,
and I couldn't.

She said that
meant I chose you.

She was right.

Emily, I did.

(quietly): I... should go.

The key to avoiding mistakes

is to step away
from the moment, the emotion,

to take a beat first
and think things through.
