♪♪♪

Hey, vi,
you left your door open.
Call 9-1-1.

She's hypotensive
with massive blood loss.

Respiratory rate is 8.
Elevate her legs.
I'm calling them.

Pete.
Call them.

She's still alive, but I can
barely palpate her pulse.

Pete, where is the baby?

I don't know.

This is Dr. Naomi Bennett.

I-I need an ambulance
immediately

at 3-2-6 las brisas canyon.

B.P. Is 70 palp,
resps 8 and shallow.

Pulse is 130
after 2 liters of n.S.
Trauma "b."

I got an O.R. standing by.
Montgomery's on her way.
I'm here.



Set up a central line. We need
blood. What's her blood type?

Does anybody know
her blood type?
C.B.C., chem-7,
cross and type times 4.

Set up a rapid infuser.
Where's the baby?

We don't know.
There was a placenta

and--and the cord was cut,
but there wasn't...

Okay, I got this, Pete.
I should know her blood type.

Pete, I'm taking over,
all right? Stay here.

Cooper, a little help.
I-I was there. I was there
and I heard a noise.

I was right at her door,
and I left.
Okay, Nai,
let's go. Come on.

Can somebody get her
a trauma gown, please?
You gotta use o-neg.

Pete, just let me--
let me do my job.
She's lost so much blood.

Okay, just wait here.
No, no, I gotta be
in here with her.

No, Dr. Wilder. Look at me.
We don't have time for this.

I don't have time
to convince you

to let me do
what I know how to do.

There is no time. Wait here.
Cooper.
Pete.

We have a kitchen!

At work,
we have a-a kitchen.

It's nice.

At my last office,
I had a, um,

I had a mini fridge
wedged under my desk.

That's where I kept
the urine samples.

This is fancy.

What do you think
about Sam and Naomi?

They seem nice.

I mean,
I like 'em 'cause they,

you know, hired me.

Why? What do you think?

They're happy.

They're--
they're happy people.

They're happy people
in love with each other.

It's creepy.

Do you think it's real,
the love?

Oh, it's real.
Oh, my god. Oh, I'm just--
I was--I'm sorry, Sam.

I think what she meant to say
was thank you for our jobs.

If he's trying to get you
to work here, say yes.

It's fancy.
We have a kitchen.
No, I'm just--

I have my own practice
in Beverly Hills--

infectious disease.
I--I'm Violet.
This is, uh--

Cooper Freedman. Hi.
Hi. Pete Wilder.

This is Pete, the friend
I told you about.

Oh, yes. Pete.
Right.

Oh, yes. What?
What am I missing?

I'm a patient. I'm...
Supposed to be a patient of--

oh.
Sam wants me to speak
with Violet about my wife.

Oh. Divorced?

Dead.
She died four days ago.

Hey.

Hey.
I came up with a name.

Oceanside wellness.

That's good, right?

Yeah.
What?

What happened?
Um, someone...

Took Violet's baby.

They cut her
and took her baby.
Katie. It had to be Katie.

Violet's patient?
I'm going in there.

No, no. Come on.
I'm family.

We're all family here,
all right? Addison's got this.

She--she said she wanted to be
with me. She said she loved me.

She said...
We should get you
cleaned up.

What?
Blood, man.
You're covered in blood.

All right, come on.
Come on. Right this way.

Daddy?
Yeah.

Someone got hurt?

Uh, yeah, yeah.
Someone got hurt.

Sam says you're great.

Well, he doesn't really know me,
but, uh, but I am. I'm great.

Well, he's great, too--Sam.

You're gonna like
working for him.

And, well,
these offices are nice.

They're big.

I'm stalling.

Therapy is hard
for some people.
It's not hard.
It's just artificial.

Sitting down and telling
your innermost thoughts

to someone you don't know?
Did you tell
all your innermost thoughts

to someone you do know?

Did you do that
with your wife?

Because that's what we're here
to talk about, right?

Look, I'm not here for me.

I'm here because it's easier

than having Sam and Naomi
be all over me

because they can't get
the fact that I'm coping.

My wife died, and it's awful,
and I'm coping.

Do you want to tell me
about her?
No. I...

Her name's Anna.

It was.

She died of an aneurysm
in her sleep.

So she didn't have any pain.
There was no suffering.

Look, I...

I respect what you do,

and I get
that Sam and Naomi think

that I'm not showing
the right emotion

or I'm in denial
or I'm not talking enough,

but I'm a private person.

It's not that I'm not feeling
this, that I don't miss her.

Uh, maybe I'm not
displaying my emotions,

but I'm feeling this
in my own way.

I understand that. I-I do.

But, um, I still think,
as a professional,

talking about those feelings
will help.

I just... don't really
have anything else to say.

I... this--

what happened is horrible.

But I'll get through it
in time...

On my own.

You say she had
a mental illness, the attacker?

Yes. Katie. Katie Kent.

Is someone out
looking for the baby?
We put out an--

it's been almost two hours.
We put out an Amber alert.
Everyone is looking.

Have you checked her apartment?
She's cleared out.
Everyone is looking, sir.

You were at the crime scene?
Yes, I told the other officer.
I found her.

Maybe if you'd put
something on TV--
sir, what is your relationship
to the victim?

Violet! Her name is Violet!
Pete--

the guy is standing her
asking me questions,

and the woman is out--
Just let him do his job.

Sir, your relationship
to... Violet.
He's her boyfriend.

I was seeing a patient upstairs
and I-I heard.

I'm sorry.
I should've called.
And who are you?

I'm the baby's father.

Uh, well, kind--
kind of the baby's father.

Maybe the father. So is he.
We're both--
we're the baby's father.

It's a long story.

It's... just wear a condom.
Tell your friends.

There's a waiting room...

With chairs.

I had to call
Violet's parents.

Those people are...
Okay, yes, they are worried.

But they're on vacation
in London.

They didn't even contemplate
getting on an airplane to L.A.

They didn't even
think about it.

She was raised by wolves,
by intellectual, snooty wolves.

I'm basically--i mean,
I'm her immediate family.

You're not gonna check it?

Nobody wants me treating
their kid in this state.

The answering service
will refer whoever's on call.

You know, I was right there.
I was at the door.

And you called,
and--and i-i--
I called because I got fired.

No--
I called because you're
my boyfriend, and I needed you.

No, I'm not blaming you.
I'm not saying--

it's not your fault. It's
my fault. I coulda stopped it.
You didn't know.

I coulda walked--
I could've saved her.
You don't know that either.

If she had
had the baby yesterday

like she was supposed to...

She doesn't do anything
like she's supposed to.
Yeah, she's a real bitch
that way.

Just making a point.

Which is?

She's not to blame.
I'm not to blame.

You're not to blame.

The only person
who deserves blame

is that woman who attacked her
and took her baby.

You're not a superhero, Coop.

No, I'm her family.

Just take my hand
and breathe.

All right, everyone.

We treat her like
a multiple stab wound victim--

control the bleeding,
repair any organ damage,

and we get out
as fast as we can.

Nai, scrub in. I need
all the hands I can get.

Nai.

I was going over to her house

to tell her
that I was leaving the practice.

We've worked together

every single day
for the past nine years--

she's gonna be okay.

Are you sure?

No.

I.V. Tech
to room 321.

I.v. Tech to room 321.

Hey, did you hear anything?

No.
No.

Violet wanted
to have Katie committed.

She knew.
And I made fun of her.
We made fun of her.

She knew something was wrong,
and I talked her out of it.
We talked her out of it.

I should've--
I should've just let--

we. We. We.
It is we, not you.

We are in love with Violet.

We are the possible fathers
of that baby.

We are worried.
We are scared.

We ignored her concerns
about Katie.

We, not you, you smug,
arrogant bastard.
But I'm the one she chose.

Come on.

All right. All right.
I'm okay.

How does something
like this happen?

I don't know.

I don't know.
I don't know.

- How's she doing?
- Pressure's 60 over 40.

She's losing blood faster than
I can transfuse it in.

Oh, god. What did
she use, a hatchet?

There. Got it.

Addison, her pressure's
not coming up.

Damn it. She is bleeding
from everywhere.

Nai, we're gonna have to
extend the incision

to make it vertical.

We gotta see what else
is bleeding and tie it off.

- Scalpel.
- Addison.

What?
They need answers.
Pete, Sheldon--

- I-I need to be able to tell them something.
- Addison!

It's not the liver edge. It's
one of the mesenteric arteries.

All right. Clamp.

We're all here, Violet,
pulling for you.

Just thought
you should know.
She can't hear you, Dell.

It's gonna be okay.
Everything's going to be okay.

Dell, stop talking!
I can't hear myself think.

Addison...
He's just trying to help.

You just--you keep talking
to her, Dell. Go ahead.

Um...

I-I got Betsey back,

which was maybe
the hardest thing I've done.

Before Betsey,
I didn't really have a family.

You guys...

You're my family.

You're my family, Violet.

So... I'm sitting here
selfishly telling you...

Not to die.

Okay?

So I just got off the phone
with Leo brinkman.

He has to push back
his start date?

No, he got sued.

- Yeah, apparently he likes to touch his patients' feet...
- Ooh!

- For sexual reasons.
- Great.

Ooh. Shoulda gone
into podiatry.
That's not funny.

It's a little funny.
But it's awful.
We're still short one.

D-Does anybody know
a good dermatologist?

Well,
I actually was thinking,

maybe we could give
his slot to Pete.

I thought he was
infectious disease.

It's even better.
He's got a great practice.

I like it.
It's something we don't have,

- and he does critical care-- that's two for one.
- I know.

But we can't--i mean,
he can't work here

- '- cause he's a patient, so we can't hire him.
- Wait, wait.

He goes to you once because I
make him, now he's off-limits?

Actually, yes. I had a session
with him, so he's a patient.
Even if he says he's fine?

He says he's fine.
I don't believe him.

You don't believe him,

otherwise you wouldn't have
sent him to me.
Obviously he's not fine.
His wife just died.

- Is he a good doctor?
- He's a great doctor.

Look, let's say Coop keels over
from a heart attack...
Ooh.

And I give him c.P.R.

Does that mean we have to fire
him because he's "my patient"?

Um, Sam, could you not put
things like that out there.

The universe has
a perverse sense of humor.
We cannot hire him.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Is this an issue

because he's a patient
or there's a problem?

Wait, you know Pete.
Yeah, I-I-I do.

But if he can't suit up,
we can't use him.

That's the issue.
Okay, we need a new partner--
a good doctor,

and someone that we
get along with personally.

Pete is both.
Look, there is
something there, okay?

I mean, he sat with me,
he said all the right things,

he knew all the right answers,
but there's something there.

And until I know what it is,

until he's ready to face
what it is,

trust me, you don't want him
working here.

I hate this.

I hate it. I should--
I should be doing something.

I should be out looking
for Katie or the baby or--

that's not your job.

What if she dies?

I had a patient...

An old woman, a southern woman,
southern baptist.

Strongest woman I ever met.

And they were having a party
for her 90th birthday,

only she was having
chest pains,

so they took her
to the hospital.

A minivan t-boned her car
on the way there.

She lost her husband,
two sons, a grandchild.

Her heart was fine.

It was, uh, indigestion.

Is there a point or are you
just spouting random crap?

She came to me
because everyone was worried

that she was so devastated,
she wouldn't be able to go on.

So I-I asked her.
I asked her how she was coping.

And she said to me,
"son, god will provide."

That's it?

She loses everything.
"God will provide"?

My point was...
We should have a little faith.

Do you?

Have faith?

No.

But I'm pretending I do.

Vascular clamp.

Okay, bovie here.

The bleeding's not slowing.

I know. Every time
I sew up one bleeder,

another one appears.

She's lost so much blood.
I don't--

I don't think she can take
much more.

Take out her uterus.

A hysterectomy?

To save her life.
No.

I can embolize
the uterine arteries,

block the blood supply
and stop the bleeding.
She could die while you're
prepping her for the procedure.

Do the hysterectomy.
What if the baby's
gone for good, Nai?

Violet wakes up,
her baby's gone,

and she can't have
another child?
We'll find the baby.

Okay, life isn't always
that simple and easy, Nai.

Babies don't always get found.

There isn't always
a happy ending.
Yeah, things don't always
have a happy ending,

but she would be alive,
Addison. She would be alive.
I'm embolizing.

Whoa. What about Violet?

What about
what she would want?

Hold these.

Apply pressure to the uterus.
Don't move.

Dell, keep talking to her.

- I need a decision.
- You save Violet.

You do whatever you have to do,
but you save Violet.

Is--is it really
and either/or?
If you save her uterus,
she could still have kids.

Yes.
But she could die.

Yes.
If you take out her uterus--

Violet lives, which is
the goal here. Violet lives.

Stop talking over me.
I'm trying to understand this.

This is big. This--
I need a decision. Pete?

Save Violet.
Sheldon?

No, she chose me. He doesn't
have--he doesn't have a--

I was going to agree
with you. Save Violet.

Cooper?

Wait, no. What are you
asking him for?

Because he's... her Cooper.
To Violet, he's her Cooper.

He's her best friend.
Cooper?

Yeah, o--you know,
we don't have time for this?

Cooper!
What would Violet want?

She'd want you to try
to save her uterus.

She'd want you to at least
give her a shot

at whatever she wants.

No, no.
No, no, you guys love her.
I know her.

I know every food she likes.
I know every thought

she's ever had about a guy,
including the two of you.

I know... Violet.

This is what she'd want.

I'm gonna embolize.

Addison...

Damn it.
You know what, Cooper?

Hey, Pete--
I am not on call!

I'm gonna take
someone's head off right now!

I'm glad you came back.

According to Sam,
I didn't have a choice.

You know about the job?
I have my own practice.

But in light
of what's happened,

yeah, working with friends...
Seems good--

seemed good--
but not to you.

Well, no, no, I think working
with friends could be great,

however--
you can't figure me out.

My emotions don't fit
into one of your boxes,

so you think there must be
something wrong with me.

I don't have any boxes.
I'm just here to help you.

And what we're doing now--

talking about the job
instead of your wife's death--

well, that's just another way

of you avoiding dealing
with something profound.
I told you about my wife.

Yes, you told me what she died
of and that it wasn't painful.
And I told you
what I'm feeling--

actually, you--you told me
that you were feeling,

not what you were feeling.

You're holding things in,
and when you do that,

what happens is,
eventually it festers

and it explodes.

It's like one of
your infectious diseases.

Sometimes you leave it alone.
You let the body heal itself.

But your job is to figure out
when to take action

in order to prevent
further damage.

Well, that's my job, too.

And I look at you, and, uh,
I can't see leaving this alone.

I think we need to attack this
for your own sake--

not for me or Sam, for you.
Are you married?
Have you ever been married?

I don't think
that's the issue.
But it is. I--I'm sure
you went to school,

and you learned all about

the brain and medications,
people's feelings.

But if you haven't been married,
if you haven't had

a relationship like that,
you're not qualified

to sit there and tell me
anything about it.
I don't--i don't want
to tell you anything.

I just want to listen.
And judge.

I'm not judging you.
But you are.
You're judging my grief.

And you know what?

I don't think
you're qualified.

Cooper Freedman.
You paged me five times.

Am I the only pediatrician
in Los Angeles?

I am not on call.

You're the only pediatrician
she wants.

Call security now.

I heard about Violet
on the news.

They say she's alive.

Is she alive?

Oh, I had my baby.

He's beautiful, isn't he?

When Violet's better,

I want her to see my baby.

She's gonna be so surprised.

Everyone thought it was a girl,
but I had a boy.

And, um, is he healthy?
What did the doctor say?

The doctor
who delivered him?

Um... he's fine.
He's perfect.

I just ask 'cause he--
he looks a little pale.

Um, do you mind
if I check him out?
Um...

Pete.

Hey, Pete.
Um, Katie had her baby.

Isn't that great? Um...

Does he look slightly pale
to you?

Yes, he does.
Could indicate hemolysis.

You should check him out.
Yeah.

What does that mean,
hemolysis?

It's a breakdown
of the red blood cells.

It happens in newborns.

They used to die from it,
but it's very treatable now.

Well, he--he cries if
anyone else touches him, so--

well, Katie, Cooper just wants
to help. Look, I know you.

I know how much you wanted
to have this baby,

how--how much you want it
to be healthy.

Katie, look at me.

You need to let Cooper
make sure. It's gonna be fine.

Just--just have
a little faith.

Okay.

You... be careful.
Hold his head.

Hi there, little guy.
Let's check you out.

Katie.

I got him. I got him.

I got him. Okay.
No, that's my baby.

No, that's my baby.
You're taking my baby!
No.

No!
It's not your baby!

You're stealing my baby!
That's my baby!

They're stealing my baby!
No. No!

No.
I gotta stop Addison.

Pete. Pete.

Pete.

Give me my baby, please.

Please give me my baby.
Please.

Inserting the catheter
into the uterine artery.

Addison, we have the baby.

I was wrong.
Stop the embolization.

Just take out her uterus. Do
whatever you can to save her.
You have the baby?

Katie showed up in the waiting
room. Pete's got him.
Thank god.

Addison, stop.
It's too late, Coop.
I've already started.

Is it working?
It's the baby.
We need you, Coop.

There was bruising on
the abdomen. I checked his crit.

He's markedly anemic,
going into shock.

I think his spleen may be torn
from being cut out.
Did you get an ultrasound?

- There's free fluid in the abdomen.
- He needs surgery now.

I'm gonna go look.
You--you can't
just leave Violet.

I'm almost done. You've done
this before. You can close.
I've done this before
in medical school.

I'll be right back, Nai.
Cooper, can get the baby,
Addison.

Cooper is not
a neonatal surgeon. I am.

I have a peds surgeon
standing by.

Not as good as I am.
Clear an O.R.
Addison, stop.

Let another doctor do this.
I can save them both, Nai.
I can save them both.

Coop?

If I had answered
one of those pages...

Oh, my god.
How much time did I waste?

How long was she waiting?

Hey, how'd it go?

Ooh. Not good?

You know, you don't have to
listen to Violet.
Well, maybe you should
see her some more.

No, Sam. I'm done.
That woman...

I'm sorry.

I don't want to trash
your new colleague.

It's okay. I'm sorry.

What are you doing, spying?

Uh, yeah.
Oh, my...

I forgot
how big Maya got.

Oh, she's starting
kindergarten this fall.

I'm a lucky guy.

Yeah.

No. I mean it.

I'm... a lucky guy.

It's luck that Naomi
was my lab partner,

luck that she went out with me
for that first time,

luck that she said yes
when I proposed.

I'm just lucky
that Maya's healthy

and that we're happy

and that we have
this life...

When you're--

yeah.

I'm a lucky guy.
It's just luck.

She's the love of your life.

That's not luck.

That's... something else.

Yeah, but you know
what I'm trying to say.

I'm gonna be fine, Sam.
I am.

Hey, Pete.

You're standing there so long.
You think she wouldn't see you?

She wants you to come in. She
wants us to take turns reading.
All right.

Do you have a patient?
No, no, I'm good.

Okay.
Uh, do you want to wait?

No, we'll talk later.
I'm fine.
All right.

Hey, Maya.

What's up with you?

Okay, one more suture.

Pulse ox is dropping.
Check her probe.

The probe's fine.

But she's tachy
at 130. 140.

What's going on?
Is she--is she bleeding?
I don't know.

She's in v-fib.

Crash cart.
Paddles charged to 200.

Epi and lido. Let's go.
Charge.

Clear.

Anything?
No pulse.
She's still in fib.

What the hell
is going on?

I don't know.

Unresponsive... v-fib...
Bleeding...

Electrolytes...

Turn her on her side.

Give me a 60cc syringe
and a spinal needle.

Got it.

Turn her on her back.
Paddles. 360.

Clear.

She's got a rhythm.

And a pulse.

Pulse ox is coming up.
86. 90. 92.

I did it.

I did it.

I did it.

Dell, get Addison.

Get Addison now.

So what have we got?

Grade 4 splenic laceration.

I'm trying to preserve
the spleen.

Vascular clamp.

And the argon.

Right there.

Naomi says you need
to come back, now.

Now. Violet is bleeding
from her nose and mouth.

It won't stop.
She's not clotting?
Damn.

Naomi said now.
I hear you, Dell.

I can finish.

Addison.

Okay, let me just clamp this.
Got it.

Cauterize
any remaining bleeders, gently,

but wait for me to come back
to set the vicryl mesh.

Do not kill this baby
while I am gone.

Addison...

Not now.

What's happening?

Not now.

I know. I know.

I should...
Try to have a little faith.

What's her fibrinogen level?

It's less than 100.

She's not responding
to platelets, f.F.P.

- Prepare antithrombin.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

She's not clotting, and you want
to give her an anticoagulant?
Addison--

with all the blood loss,

her coagulation system
is working overtime.

Hopefully
with the anticoagulant,

it will stop the cascade,
and her own clotting

will start up again.
Or it will kill her.

It's her only shot.

Prepare the antithrombin.
I have to get back to the baby.

You can administer
the a.T.3.
Addison, you better
be right about this.

If she dies--
do it, Nai.

We had a fight...

The night before she died.

Well, we had a fight
almost every night,

but the night before she died
was our worst fight.

She said things...

We said things
that you can't take back.

I woke up the next morning.

The alarm went off.
I--her alarm went off.

I was still pissed.

I turned it off...

And she was just laying there
ignoring me.

And it pissed me off.

I went to the bathroom.
I brushed my teeth.

I was trying to get her
to talk to me,

and... she was
just laying there.

So I called her a bitch.

I called her a bitch,

and still,
she just lay there, silent.

So I ripped the covers off...

I ripped the covers off
to make her get out of bed

and talk to me.

She wouldn't talk to me...

Because she was dead.

Five minutes,
I argued with my wife,

and she was laying there,
dead...

And...

I didn't know it.

Well, you--you just said
the most important thing, Pete.

You didn't know.

Your anger, it--
it didn't kill your wife.

It didn't change anything.

People fight.

I hated my wife.

See? That's the thing.

I hated her.

And I don't know
what that says about me.

I don't know what that says
about what kind of man I am,

what kind of husband I am.

Was.

But I hated my wife.

So if you want to know why

I didn't want to come
and talk to you about it...

It's because my wife is dead,

and all I can think is...

I can breathe again.

Oh, I love moffet.
She's great.
Really?

Yeah.
Let me see.

I...
S-Slept with moffet,

and it ended badly,
but...

Okay.

How can L.A.
have so many doctors,

and there is not one
that we want to hire?
You should hire Pete.

I'm sorry?
Did... you said--

I-I know what I said,
but we should hire Pete.
You cured him?

I referred him
to someone else.
You think he's ready?

I think he's ready to start
doing the work on himself.

And I think he was your friend
long before he was my patient.

So, um, yeah, I think
we should hire him.

It'll be good...

How's the baby?

I did my best.

Time will tell.
How's she?

She's not waking up.

You made the choice
to do the embolization.

You made the choice
to give her the antithrombin.

You left me alone in there.
You left me alone first.

I did what I had to do.
I did what I could to save--
but you didn't have to operate
on the baby.

Charlotte had a peds surgeon
right there.

It's Violet.
It's Violet's baby.

They are my people.
They are my responsibility.

Not yours, not anymore.
You quit.

You quit on me. So...
I have to take care of them.

I have to do everything. Me.
Do you know what that's like?

Do you know the weight
that is pressing down on me?

If she had died...
If that baby had died...

I know how to do
one thing, Nai.

Okay, I have failed

at every relationship
I've ever had.

I'm clearly not good
at keeping friends

since I screwed up with you.

But there's one thing
I'm good at.

I am good at surgery.
I am a brilliant surgeon.

That's what I have.

That's what I have to give
to my people, all right?

And I was scared to death
in there.

The entire time,
I was scared to death.

So you don't get
to lecture me.

You don't get to fault me

for not wanting
to lose another friend.

You walked out of the practice
and you left me alone.

I'm exhausted, Nai.

And you left me alone.

He just

How's the baby?

Touch and go, like her.

It's not right

all this again.

I don't know
if I could do it.

If god forbid...

I'm not going anywhere.

Look, about yesterday,

the practice--

oh, it's okay, Nai.

People move on.

It's what they do.

We can do this.

We're gonna be okay.

All of us.

How are they?

I don't know.

She was crying when I
came back from the O.R.

I shouldn't have
brought her,

put her through all this
waiting and worrying and...

I didn't have anywhere else
to take her.

What am I doing, Cooper?

You know, I mean,
I got her back,

and--and--and it's
everything I wanted and...

Oh.

What?

That's not what I should
be worried about right now.

Are you kidding me?

It's exactly what you should
be worrying about right now.

This little girl, man,
this is your priority.

Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, I am a 25-year-old
single father.

Yeah.

You know,
I'm responsible for her.

I mean, how--how am I
gonna do this right

without, you know,
without screwing her up?

You just love her.

And you ask for help.

You ask us for help.

And take some time off,

get... get her settled in,
do what you need to do.

You know, we're gonna
be here waiting

when you come back.

You guys would let me,
uh, take time off?

We're your family.

You--
you can't do it alone.

You know,
you're just human, Dell.

You know,
you're not a superhero.

All right?
You just breathe, okay?

Why don't you go, uh,
see Violet?

I'll--i got Betsey?
Yeah? You sure?

Yeah.
Okay, thanks.

Why don't you go up there?

Everyone else is there.

No, i'm--I'm good here.

She could wake up.
She'd want you there.

I'm good here.

Would you like
to sit with him?

Yeah.
I'd...I'd like that.

Thanks.

What's his name?

We have to ask Violet
if she wakes up.

When she wakes up.

When she wakes up.

No suit?

Oh, I thought
I'd switch things up.

You know, a fresh start.

I'm thinking about
changing specialties.
Oh.

Alternative medicine--

different ways
for the body to heal itself.

So now that we're...
Just colleagues,

can I still ask you
how you are?

Uh, better, I think.

I don't know.

You know, you asked me
what kind of a man you are.

Do you want to know
what I think?

I think you're the kind
that married the wrong person.

Maybe she married
the wrong person.

Maybe I'm not cut out
for all that--love, marriage.

Maybe i'm--
it's just not in me.

It is. You're a good man.

And in time, eventually,
you'll, uh, you'll find someone.

You will.

You'll love someone.
