Saving Hope (2012–…): Season 3, Episode 14 - Trading Places - full transcript

Joel's father visits. Alex and Maggie deal with a patient who refuses Sydney's help with her baby. Charlie helps a young soul find his body.

Thanks.

Finally writing that novel?

- I'm trying to write a speech.
- For?

My father's receiving a Bernard
Taylor Innovation award tonight

- and I'm introducing him.
- He really racks those things up,

- doesn't he?
- Four times now.

- This one's for his stem cell research.
- Okay, let me have a look.

- "Doctor Barret Goran is my father."
- That's as far as I got.

Okay, well, I hate public speaking

and I've written maybe
three speeches in my life...

But it seems a little short.



- I have no idea what to write.
- Just write something nice about your dad.

Like what?

- Well, he's very charming.
- Did I mention he abandoned my mother

- and humiliated my family?
- Yeah, I wouldn't put that in the speech.

That's probably not a
good idea, right? O... kay.

Speak of prince charming.

Hi, dad. Yeah. Got to pick him up, hotel.

Good luck.

Yep! Sorry. I can't lift my arm past there.

Isn't that right, darling?

Okay. And you're torn your
rotator cuff how many times now?

Twice.

Tennis is all I have,
besides Cameron of course.

- And Cameron's your... ?
- He's my grandson.



- He lives with me.
- Right.

- Can you feel that?
- Yep! Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Okay, why don't you grab a seat.

- This wasn't a tennis injury.
- No, no.

I just sort of spaced out

and I fell in the living room.

I really wrenched my shoulder awfully.

You know, it's a small miracle

I didn't hit my head on the coffee table.

Mrs. Pratt, I hate to be the one

- to tell you this but...
- If you're gonna tell me

I have to give up tennis for good I'll die.

Sorry. He hates it when I talk about death.

Mrs. Pratt...

Please, call me Iris.

Iris. Uh...

I'm gonna get an X-ray
to confirm this but,

um, my guess is that three time's a charm

and you're gonna need
a shoulder replacement.

You see, gran?

I warned her.

Doctor, if I have this surgery,
who's gonna look after Cameron?

Well, that's not really
my department, but um...

Once you're admitted here
he could stay with you.

Thank you very much.

Yeah.

I'm sorry. I'm gonna
come back a little later.

Joe! Let me just get some pants on.

This is Marion, by the way.

Your dad is a loyal customer.

Yeah, I'm sure he is. You
look like you could use some...

Shiatsu.

I make house calls.

Yes, I'm sure you do.

She's the best, Joe.

Patient's 33 weeks pregnant and
complaining of severe back pain.

You thinking appendicitis?

- I'd like to rule it out.
- What about the baby?

Fetal heart rate's normal and
the cervix hasn't begun to efface.

Okay, so this isn't pre-term labour.

No, which is a relief. The baby has CDH.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia?

I'm impressed. CDH is rare.

- Well, I'm pregnant. I surf the Internet.
- Don't do that.

CDH causes the baby's intestines to
push through the herniated diaphragm,

preventing the lungs from developing.

Unless they've had a lifesaving balloon

placed in their trachea
until the lung's develop.

Now I feel so much better.

It must be a little weird being up here

among all the pregnant women
and their complications.

Mm, I'm a doctor, it's a
hospital; Just trying to do my job.

Oh God, thank God you're here.
Her pain is getting much worse.

Ruth. My wife has a flare
for the dramatic. I'm fine.

Ruth, Neshema, this is Doctor
Reid. She's a general surgeon.

Hi there.

Hi. Mazel tov.

What? Oh, right. Thank you.

First, let me put you at ease about
the baby's herniated diaphragm.

I've paged the staff OB to come and
answer any questions you might have.

Yes, please. I have questions.

Of course you do.

This is...

The baby's mouth, throat,

and this is the balloon and her trachea.

Doctor Hodges placed it
perfectly. The baby's fine.

Neshema, can I feel your back, please?

Sure.

You should not have left Montreal.

Doctor Hodges told us to
stay close to his clinic

just in case I go into premature labour.

- Sensitivity there?
- Yeah.

But it was my Zadie's unveiling
and she didn't want me to miss it.

Ruth's family has just been so great to us.

What do you see, Doctor Reid?

Should I take a look too?

Ruth, just leave the doctoring
to the actual real doctors.

It's difficult to see anything
near your appendix Neshema

because there's too much gas in the region.

So do Ruth and I try to get on
our train back to Montreal, then?

With the amount of pain you're
in I wouldn't recommend it.

I'll send you up for imaging after Doctor
Katz arrives to get a better picture.

Doctor Katz?

Our staff OB.

Right on cue.

Sydney Katz?

Neshema.

That's your Doctor Katz?

Over my dead body she
comes near me or my baby.

You get her out of here.

Now!

So you and Neshema know each other.

She hates your guts.

She just doesn't want me
treating her, that's all.

Yeah, but...

It's a patient's right to
choose their practitioner.

Well, we'll take it from here.

She's just off the case?

Doctor Hodges has been
treating her baby's CDH,

you're a general surgeon and,
Doctor Lin, you're a talented OB.

I'm not needed here.

So I take it that was an actual masseuse?

Yeah, she was, and an
extremely effective one.

- She rubbed me...
- Honestly,

I don't want to know
the details. Thank you.

Where do you want to go for lunch?

Well, wherever we went
when I was here last time...

We didn't go anywhere last
time. You canceled on me.

Well, you pick. Okay?

I'll have to come back for
a nap before the ceremony.

- I didn't sleep much last night.
- Dad.

I don't want the details of this.

It was jet lag.

Okay. Well, I'll bring you
back so you can have a nap.

- Okay.
- So how's the speech coming?

Do up your shirt, dad.

So your grandmother's gone to imaging.

Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

- You didn't. It's okay.
- Okay.

I wanted to talk to you privately.

- Why?
- Well...

Your grandmother, she's been straining
herself more than usual lately?

She's always running for the phone.

I don't know how many times
I've warned her, I've told her,

"if you run for that stupid
phone again you're gonna pay."

- And that's how she... fell?
- I warned her.

She was asking for it.

Sounds like you warn her a lot.

Yeah.

Hi.

You supposed to be on the pediatric ward?

Okay. You stick with me.

You can smile. I'll get
you where you need to go.

No?

- Hi!
- Hi.

- That's was kinda weird.
- Yeah, kinda.

I didn't know I could do that.

- Uh, yeah, that's because you're, um...
- Invisible.

Kinda awesome.

Yeah.

Kinda awesome.

Will you still help me
get back where I belong?

Yeah, of course.

What's the last thing you remember?

I'm not dead?

Well, that's good. That's a good start.

So we just need to find your body, then.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

I mean, it's got to be
around here somewhere.

Okay, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

See those nurses there?

When they clear out, I'm
gonna jump over that counter

and I'm gonna look in their computer
and find out what room you're in.

So what's your name?

- Henry.
- Henry what?

I can't remember! Why can't I remember?

I don't know, Henry.
Um... it doesn't matter.

Not too many kids named Henry nowadays.

I know three kids named Henry
and they're all in my class too.

Or everyone's named Henry...

You know, one or the other.
Uh, I'm Charlie, by the way.

Charlie, wait! I think I found me!

Okay, thanks for your help
and everything, Charlie.

Uh...

Yeah, I don't mean to
burst your bubble but, um...

This kid's name is Josh.

I could have sworn that it was me.

Yeah, well, um...

First of all, he doesn't
really look like you, and...

You probably wouldn't
be here with me like...

A spirit or whatever if,
uh, you were awake like that.

Henry!

Okay, what do we have?

She's been vomiting and
she's running a high fever.

Her appendix burst, didn't it?

Ruthie, please. Just go for a walk.

Neshema, we're gonna get
you in for surgery right now.

We'll do a minimally invasive appendectomy
totally safe for pregnant women.

- I love you!
- It's okay. It's okay.

Okay, let's go.

Alright. I'm just gonna cinch the loop.

No need to put in a drain?

No. Her appendix wasn't perforated.

- I'm not worried about her getting an abscess.
- Okay.

Just checking in.

We're just finishing up here.

- How's the baby?
- No signs of distress. Baby's fine.

Good to hear she's out of the woods.

What is that about?

We'll never know.

She is a mystery wrapped
in a long dowdy skirt.

- Appendix is out. How's the baby?
- Baby's show.

Let's close.

So how is my
26-year-old stepmother?

She didn't want to come.

What has happened?

She's filing for divorce.

Look, it's amicable,
there are no hard feelings.

Which is distinctly less
hysteria than with your mother.

Hey, dad, let's leave mom out of this.

Congratulations, anyway, that's
a quintet of failed marriages.

- Hey, what's going on?
- No, I'm just dizzy.

What... are you feeling sick?

- No... no, I'm fine, I'm fine.
- Dad, you're obviously not fine.

Give me this. Where's the Insulin?

I don't use Insulin any more. I'm cured.

What do you mean, you're... hey!

Taxi!

Over here, ladies.

- You got my page?
- Yes.

- That's great.
- Aaron, it's nice to see you

again, I'm sorry you're not feeling well.

Let's start an IV and push some fluids.

Let's get him some
insulin, too, he's diabetic.

- No, no, no insulin... it's just jet lag...
- You're being ridiculous, stop it.

It's a little more
acute than jet lag, okay?

We're going to do a blood sugar test.

Let's draw some blood and send for
a CBC, electrolytes, LFTs, ***s.

- Let's get him a catheter too.
- Oh come on!

Look I understand, but it's
necessary. Put in a Foley, please.

I've got to be out of here by 7:00.

The Bernard Taylor awards. Congratulations.

Alex, you're expecting?

- I am.
- You look absolutely beautiful.

I just wish Joe hadn't screwed things up...

Alright, that's enough.

That Charlie Harris is a lucky man.

- Have a word for a second?
- Yes.

I didn't mention the pregnancy
to dad for obvious reasons.

Absolutely, I understand.

Okay.

- Multiple fractures everywhere.
- Looks like elder abuse.

- Should probably report it.
- Eh, let me

talk to the grandmother alone before
I freak her out with a case worker.

Yeah, fair enough.

Doctor Ortega to Orthopedics,

Doctor Ortega to Orthopedics.

Hi.

Cameron, um, I need to
speak with your grandmother.

Could you give us a few minutes?

- He can stay and listen.
- Yeah, how private can shoulder surgery be?

It won't take long.

Actually, there's a great little coffee
shop down on the first floor, if you want.

No, that's stupid.

- I'll just go outside the door.
- Okay.

Thank you.

So...

Iris, um... I took a look at your X-ray.

Actually, I saw a picture
of your entire skeleton.

- How macabre.
- And, uh, what bothers me is

all the hairline fractures I'm seeing.

What's that mean, my bones are breaking?

I don't think this is news to you, Iris.

Now's the time to talk about it.

I... I... I just seem to be
falling down all the time.

How does your grandson treat you?

- I mean, overall?
- Oh, like gold.

- He helps out around the house.
- All right.

Does he ever get physical with you?

- When he's angry, or frustrated?
- No... no, never.

Pushes you, shoves you, throws you,

- anything like that?
- No. Never.

You don't know him.

No, you... no one understands...

Look, do you have a phone I can
have, I need phones for my grandma,

I need phones for my grandma,

give me a phone, look, I need it for
my grandma, do you have a phone...

- Cameron, stop.
- Grandma, I got you a phone!

Good, that's good.

You don't need to use the
phone anymore because...

No, no!

- Leave my boy alone!
- Iris, Iris...

- I know how to...
- It's okay, it's okay!

- Please...
- Gran, gran!

- It's okay.
- Gran, gran!

- They won't hurt him. They won't hurt him.
- Gran, gran!

- Page Doctor Dey!
- Gran, gran!!

- Cameron!
- They're not going to hurt him.

It's gonna be okay, alright?

Is it bad news?

Severe pancreatitis.

I ran an IV contrast. Look
how black his pancreas is.

- It's necrotic.
- And infected.

If you see all the bubbles
there, that's from the bacteria.

- So you have to operate?
- Yes.

I'm going to take him into the OR,

try to get rid of as
much bacteria as possible.

We don't want to risk him
going into septic shock.

And it's strange...

His blood sugar levels are normal.

Isn't he diabetic?

Yes, he's been taking insulin for years.

You know, he mentioned something, actually,

to me, on the way here. He said that...

That he'd cured himself.

No one can cure type 1 diabetes.

I mean, are we sure that
the lab got it right?

We've done a finger-stick
test every 15 minutes,

and his blood glucose levels are normal.

God, I hate him.

He's right there.

He's sleeping, Alex.

And you don't hate him.

You resent him.

This boy's definitely not me.

No, he's someone else.

I thought for sure that I would be in here.

Come on, keep your chin up.

Maybe I'm dead.

Maybe I died and I didn't even know it.

Does that happen?

I mean... if you were

dead, would you really want to know?

You've got to be pretty brave
to handle news like that.

My dog died and I was only 5.

I was really brave.

I cried, but I went to
school anyway that day.

Yeah, that's pretty brave.

- Why don't you come with me?
- Where are we going?

You'll see.

Okay, we'll keep you for a few more hours,

monitor you and baby, and then
you can make your way home.

- Doctor?
- What?

- Doctors?
- Okay, uh...

alright, Neshema, your water just broke.

What? That's not supposed to happen.

- You're in labour.
- What? No,

no, no, she can't be in labour,
the baby's lungs aren't ready...

the balloon, it's still in her trachea.

So we're going to unplug,
we're going to go in,

pop the balloon, deliver,
and ventilate baby.

Breathe, Ruthie, breathe.

Try to stay calm, alright?

We're just going to check the incision.

Pauline, I need nifedipine for Neshema.

I need to delay these contractions
until we've deflated the balloon.

- Get Doctor Katz.
- No!!

- Incision's fine.
- Can I speak to you, privately?

I'll be back in just a second, okay?

I know Neshema hates her, I don't know why,

- but we need Doctor Katz, don't we?
- Yeah.

She's the only OB with experience
in this kind of fetoscopy.

Then can you bring her in?

I'll deal with my wife.

Okay.

So I'll be awake for the whole thing?

You'll be awake but sedated.

You can watch or you can
keep your eyes closed,

if that makes you feel more comfortable.

Doctor Lin, you've been filling
Neshema in on the procedure?

What is she doing here?

Neshema, I had to ask Doctor Katz
to take the lead on this, okay?

No, I want Doctor Hodges to come.

I'll pay for his flight.
We absolutely cannot wait

for Doctor Hodges to fly in.

- You'll just have to settle with me.
- Stop, where's Ruth?

- I want my wife.
- She's scrubbing in, Neshema.

I want to talk to my wife.
There has to be another option.

There is no other option.
We have to do this now.

- We don't have time.
- Your baby's life's at risk.

I'm all you've got.

Okay, this is the last one. So...

if you're not in here, we're going to
have to look somewhere else, alright?

Wait!

Something's happening.

- Something... ?
- Good.

It's like I feel my heart beating.

- Well, that's good, right?
- Yeah.

- Do you love your parents?
- Yeah.

- Do you have lots of friends?
- Two best friends,

- and a few really good ones.
- Okay.

- Well, get ready to see them again.
- How?

That's how.

So you're saying Cameron
suffers from mental illness?

- Yeah, he's in a manic phase right now.
- Is he on meds?

According to his medical
records, he's on lithium.

Okay. Well, my patient
has multiple fractures.

Well, my patient has
no history of violence.

You say tomato, and I
say call Social Services.

I'm not sure separating Cameron
from his grandmother is wise,

- if that's what you're thinking.
- No, I'm thinking I need to look after my patient.

That's what I'm thinking, bottom line.

Right. Well, Cameron needs a stable home...

And I'm needed in surgery, so,

- we'll discuss this afterwards?
- Sure.

They're coming to prep you
for surgery in a second.

Well, I'm going to have to
finish writing my speech first,

and you're going to have
to collect the award for me.

No, I don't think so.

Just skip your introduction,

and read out my acceptance speech.

That's what they've come to hear anyway.

- It would mean everything to me...
- Dad, cut it out!

Honestly.

Look, I've won this award three
times, but having you there...

Stem cell research.

How's that coming along for you?

Well,

I've just won another award for it, yes,

so it's working out rather well.

I meant you've been injecting yourself
with the cells, haven't you, dad?

It cured my diabetes.

- It'll cure others.
- And you volunteered for your own trial.

- Yeah.
- And all in the name of compassion and a

- benevolent desire to help others, I suppose.
- Of course.

You know as well as I do

that it takes mavericks who
are willing to risk everything

- in the name...
- In the name of winning yet another award.

- Don't be obtuse.
- Your arrogance is just so unbelievably staggering.

Dad, do you understand why
there are government restrictions

- on stem cell research?
- Because they're cowards.

Because it's experimental!

- These cells you are injecting yourself with...
- Transplanting.

They are dangerous, and they can mutate!

- They can save lives.
- You went too far.

Would you ever let a patient
of yours get this sick?

You sound just like your mother.

Don't you dare mention my mother!

You don't get to talk about her.

If Alex can't remove all of
the infection in your pancreas,

all of your other major
organs will progressively fail

and you will die.

You'd have done the same thing.

You were a risk-taker, too.

Okay, I'm just going to
remove the humeral head.

Before we continue, I want
to get a closer look. Kocher?

Yeah, the inside of the
bone is spongy, and the

outer shell is thin.

Reamer.

Way too soft.

- Osteoporosis?
- I'm thinking not.

Um, let's do a tox screen,
test for everything.

- Okay.
- And let's get Doctor Dey down here.

Isn't this a little outside of his purview?

Page Doctor Dey.

Okay, there's a blood vessel
on the right to watch out for.

Just a little.

Neshema, we've given you
something for your contractions,

so if you feel the urge to push, don't.

- Doctor Lin?
- Yeah?

I love my wife.

She saved me.

She's my family.

But there's something I
haven't told you, Ruth.

It was Sydney Katz who told my mother.

Neshema, it's a very delicate procedure.

We need you to stay still, okay?

Syd caught me kissing a stupid girl.

Okay, let's talk about this after, okay?

She's so much more frum
than the rest of us.

She ran straight to my mother
and told her I was a lesbian.

- Do you remember that, Sydney?
- Okay,

I need you to be very still, please.

I'm in the baby's neck.

The trachea.

I'm just about there.

Done.

The balloon's deflated.

- Amazing, nice work.
- It's okay?

Is the baby okay?

- Will you check the dilation, Doctor Lin?
- Yeah.

4 centimetres.

She'll be fully dilated before we
know it. Let's prepare to deliver.

No.

I don't want you to be the
first one to touch my baby.

Alright.

Doctor Lin,

you're up.

Hello, Barrett.

- Just the woman I wanted to see.
- Oh, I'm flattered.

Will you go to the ceremony

tonight and accept the
award and read my speech?

Isn't that something you should ask Joel?

- Oh, I did.
- Oh.

When the great hero Odysseus
returns from the Trojan war,

he's reunited with his son Telemachus,

who's grown to be as wise,

resourceful and courageous as his father.

I was aiming for a sage but humorous tone.

I can see that's where you were going.

Yeah, it's a great myth about
an archetypal father-son dynamic.

Joel was very upset with me.

You're extremely sick.

He's just worried.

No, I think he's officially done with me.

- We've got to get you up to the OR now, alright?
- Yeah.

I want you to have this.

- What is it?
- It's a cheque.

I saw the way Joel looked at you
when you talked about your baby.

I don't want your money.

Gorans don't make good fathers.

Take it from me, he
won't do anything for you.

You might as well have it.

So,

what are my chances?

- This surgery?
- Yeah.

Very hopeful.

Doctor Harris?

My suturing's a little rusty, so...

Want to hand Doctor Dey
the patient's chart, please?

Now, can you list off to me

all the medications Mrs.
Pratt is currently taking?

- She doesn't seem to be on any medications.
- Exactly.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Check the results of the
tox screen we just did.

- Lithium.
- Causes bones to lose their density,

makes them easier to break.

The grandson's been giving her his lithium.

That would explain her
clumsiness and her falling.

I'm not saying he's been
doing it on purpose, but...

He shouldn't be living with her.

I'll call Social Services.

Excuse me a moment.

You came.

You came.

Yes, your father asked me
to read his speech for him.

And how is he doing?

Well, I was able to remove

as much of the dead tissue as I could.

Yeah, it's not the most
glamorous of surgeries.

Thank you for everything.

You'd do the same.

I told him he was potentially going to die

and then I walked out of the room,

so no, that's not quite the same.

Oh.

I kind of feel like running away
and hiding in a ditch someplace.

Is that weird?

Yeah, I guess we have to take our seats.

My dad gave you an envelope.

- Yes, he did.
- It was money,

wasn't it?

- For the baby.
- Yeah,

it's the Barrett Goran
solution to all problems.

- Well, I'm not going to take it.
- No, I know that, I'm just

disappointed,

I guess.

Okay,

speech time.

- Come on, you're terrified of public speaking.
- I'm well aware of that.

I will do it.

Joel, you're not going to like it.

I'll do it anyway.

- Let's go to our table.
- Okay.

- Can you feel a foot, either of the feet?
- No.

Neshema, I need you to stop pushing, okay?

Breathe through the contractions.

The baby's breach. I'm
trying to reach her feet.

A baby's heel bone,
it's harder than a hand,

- so go by feel.
- Yeah, I know,

it's just really, really hard to tell.

Baby's in distress.

- I'm trying, this is insane.
- No, this is taking too long.

- Neshema, I have to step in.
- No!

- Neshema, stop this.
- No, no, no, no, no, no!

- Okay, okay, I have a foot.
- Okay, good.

Oh, God. It's a hand,
Syd, I need your help.

- Neshema...
- No!

I am sorry for how much you lost, but
this baby isn't going to die today, okay?

Okay, Doctor Lin, move.

They sat Shiva for me.

You know what my father said on the box?

They consider me dead because of you.

I'm sorry.

I was 17, I didn't know how much...

I miss my mother...

More than anything.

When I was scared, my mother
used to sing numi numi.

Did your mother ever sing that to you?

Okay, sing the lullaby with me, Neshema.

Okay.

♪ Numi, numi yaldati ♪

♪ numi, numi, nim ♪

Okay, keep going.

♪ Numi, numi yaldati ♪

♪ numi, numi, nim ♪

Okay, feel the feet.

- I feel the feet.
- Okay, now let go.

Alright, I'm going to
pull your girl out now.

I want you to push on three.

Ready, Neshema?

- Yes.
- Okay. One...

Two... three.

Is that her?

It's a her, it's your girl, she's here.

Sydney.

Thank you.

Hi, Charlie.

Henry!

Hey, how you doing?

I thought you went back to your body.

No, I'm in there.

Yeah?

Let's go take a look.

Um,

Henry?

That's a girl.

That's a girl.

Three times unlucky, eh, pal?

But I feel it.

I can feel my heart beating.

There!

Hey, what kind of surgery
you got going on in there?

Heart transplant. Lucky girl.

Went well.

What does that mean?

That...

That means that you are...

an organ donor.

So, I'm dead?

Donors have to be dead, right?

So, I'm never going to
see my mom and dad again?

And...

I'm never going to see my friends anymore?

Hey.

I'm your friend.

But I'm never going to do
anything great in my life,

like Derek Jeter.

Buddy,

you already did the most amazing
thing that anybody could do,

way better than Jeter.

Because I gave her my heart?

Yeah.

So, obviously...

Thank you. Obviously I'm not Barrett Goran.

Unfortunately, he couldn't be here tonight.

He's quite ill.

And these are his words:

"When the great hero Odysseus

returns from the Trojan wars,

he is reunited with his son Telemachus,

who is... "

I think I must have been about 7 years
old when I asked my father about his work,

and my father's response was
to take me to the hospital, and

I just couldn't believe my eyes.

My father was so attentive and generous

to each and every patient
that he met that night.

He sacrificed...

so much, you know?

He...

he risked almost too much sometimes.

Well, he was a great hero of
mine for a long time, and...

I hope that I can honor that example.

So, he's...

he's told me to tell you
that he's very honored

to receive this award...

And furthermore he would
like to dedicate all

of the award money that
accompanies this prize

to the establishment of a new
street clinic at Hope Zion Hospital.

And Doctor Selena Quintos,

founder of the clinic, can't be here today,

but she thanks you as well.

I think this is a testament to
how truly generous my father is.

Thank you so much.

Bye-bye.

Iris, there's something we need to discuss.

Is this about my operation?

No, this is about your grandson.

Where... where is he?

- Where is my Cameron?
- He was admitted to the psychiatric ward.

No.

Yeah. We believe he was...

giving you his lithium.

- What?!
- Now, is that possible?

Did he give you medication of any kind?

Of course not.

- Oh, my.
- What?

He just got fixated on nutrition.

I...

didn't want to stop him.

He would make me smoothies
every couple of mornings.

He must have put them in there.

He was delusional.

He probably thought he was helping you.

- I want to see him now.
- No,

- Iris, you need to focus on your own recovery.
- You don't understand.

His mother

cannot handle him.

He's got no one.

- He's doing so well living with me.
- I'm sure he is.

He needs structure,

and I give him that. He has jobs at home,

he does laundry.

You can't force him out.

Can you?

No. No, we can't do that.

Alright.

Well, then that's that.

I am not abandoning my boy.

You just let me know when he can come home.

What would your family do if
you weren't marrying Herschel?

You don't understand, Maggie.

You're out of your depth.

Our kiss...

threw me for a loop.

But I see now that it may have
caused you pain, and I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for harassing
you about Herschel and...

I'm orthodox. I live with a
whole host of expectations.

This isn't about just our kiss.

- No, I understand that.
- No, you don't.

Once I'm married,

when my husband wants to have sex with me,

he throws his yarmulke on the bed.

That's dark.

I had a huge crush

on Neshema when we were teenagers.

You saw her.

So, when I caught her kissing a girl,

I ran and I told Neshema's mother.

Not just because Leviticus
condemns homosexuality,

but out of...

Do you know what it means...

that her family sat Shiva for her?

I as much as killed someone, Maggie.

So, don't you dare think this
has anything to do with you,

okay? This is my life, it's my burden,

and you will never
understand. Do you get that?

Neshema's happy.

Do you get that?

Nice speech.

Yeah, just a little bit
shorter than the one dad wrote.

With a slightly more generous twist.

Well, he probably would've
donated those funds

to stem cell research or
something anyway. I just...

- Ad-libbed a
little? - Yeah.

You know, he tries.

He's just not good at being a parent.

- My parents weren't either.
- That's the thing.

What?

I'm frightened that I might
not be good at it when...

I'm sorry, if...

the time comes.

- Joel...
- I want this.

I want to try.

You know?

I want an opportunity to be better
than my father was at this, okay?

I want to be this baby's father.

The award, Odysseus.

How did the speech go?

It went.

- Look, you can't stay mad at me forever, Joel.
- I'm not mad at you, dad.

How could I be? I mean, you just
donated all of the award money

to the development of a street clinic

right here in this very hospital.

Yeah, you're my son alright.

Yes, I am.

I like girls.

There.

I said it.

Now, I asked you all here today because...

We all share something
or someone in common.

Organ donation is pretty
confidential, but...

I can tell you that...

I met the boy who died last night,

and...

we couldn't have asked for a better donor.

- What was his name?
- I can't tell you that,

but I can tell you that he was beautiful...

and...

that his idol was Derek Jeter.

- Come on, Buster Posey.
- I have his kidney.

I mean, not Buster Posey's kidney.

- And I have his other kidney.
- I have his heart.

- I wish he didn't have to die.
- Yeah, me too.

But I think he'd be really happy,

knowing that all of you guys
thought of him as a friend.

Yeah, well, who knows how to play Go Fish?

Okay, I'll deal to start. Oh, you
have to move in just a little bit.

- I'm going blind!
- She could die. We can't wait.

Are you seeing something I'm not?

CTV next Wednesday...

I saved her life.

Yes, but how?

The truth exposed.

The whole hospital is
liable if she sues us.

I can't stand up and defend this.

- The secret...
- I look crazy.

- ... revealed.
- Well...

I see things that...

other people don't.
