"Nightmare Hospital"

Well, time to assume my secret identity.

Same time next week for sword training?



Yeah. It's a shame I can't
practice more at home.

Hey, wait a sec. Hup!
May I?

Here-eth.

You can borrow-eth my
mother's sword... eth.

Steven, that's so nice,
if grammatically incorrect.

But thou can't just givest
me thine mother's sword.

- Why not-eth?
- Because it's really important-eth.

That's exactly why
you should have-eth it.

You can have all week to
practice-eth with it-eth.

Pbbhh-thank you.

We got to be ready if we have
to fight Malachite or Peridot

or those creepy gem-fusion experiments.

I'll make sure nothing happens to it.

That's the garage door.
Mom's home!



We have to hide the sword.

There's no way mom would let
me have this in the house.

Lion? Lion?

- He walked off.
- What are we gonna do?!

Hi, Mom. Just finishing
my 6:00 violin practice.

You should have finished
five minutes ago.

You're late for your 7:00 study hour.

- Hello, Steven.
- Hi, Dr. Maheshwaren.

- How are you?
- Sitting!

I had a rough day at work,

and I'm not in the mood
for any more surprises.

What happened at work?

There was a really strange
case at the hospital today ...

straight out of a nightmare.

Oh, don't worry. The rules of
doctor-patient confidentiality

keep me from sharing the
graphic details, but ...

Hang on a moment.
When did we get a coat rack?

- Oh, no.
- A sword?!

Connie, where did you get this?!

- It's ...
- I found it.

I just found it outside, and
I wanted to show it to Steven.

- How could you possibly think this is okay?
- It's ...

Do you know how many children
I see every day in the hospital

who've cut their faces
off playing with swords?

- I ...
- None!

Because they all have
parents who love them

and who don't let them play around with

deadly weapons like
some kind of gang member!

No playing with swords
under any circumstances.

This is Dr. Maheshwaren.

Yes, calm down, Straumburg.

- Another one?
- Is she gonna give it back?

All right, I'll ... I'll be right there.

I have to go to the hospital.

I'll have a talk with your
father to calculate just

how grounded you are.
And we're using the abacus.

I hate that abacus.

Steven, I'm so sorry.
She took your mother's sword.

Maybe we can get her
to change her mind.

She never, ever changes her mind.

We've got to get that
sword back ourselves.

Whoa!

- Ugh.
- We can't bring lion inside.

I'd feel really bad if my
mom confiscated him, too.

Oh, it's no problem.
He can stay out here.

Look ... I finally found a way
to get him to do what I want.

- He didn't even take the plastic off.
- What an animal.

- Okay, serious.
- Yeah. Serious.

This way.

Ah, you mean the super scary way.

- They turn the lights down after dinner.
- What was that?

Dr. West ain't gonna like it.

Well, Dr. West isn't here.

Yes, yes, I just got here.

Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.

Where did you say you found them?
The side of the road?

I'm not sure just yet.
I haven't had a look for myself.

It doesn't look like a car accident.
You didn't find an I.D.?

Listen, I'll call you back when,
or if, I have an answer for you.

Goodbye.

Okay, now.

- What's she doing?
- She's probably checking their vitals.

Haven't you been to a hospital before?

- No.
- Oh. Lucky.

- Steven, look.
- Hmm.

Hmm.

No heartbeat.

Ugh.
Cheap hospital budgets.

- Connie!
- Oh, no!

How did you even ...
What are you doing with this?!

I made a rule ...
no swords under any circumstances.

- But, Mom!
- We will finish this conversation at home.

Sir?
Ma'am? Dr. West?

He can't take a day off, can he?

You? It's my other patient.

What are you doing out of bed?

Why aren't you with Dr. Straumburg?

That's not a patient.

I don't know what's going on here,

but I am going to get
to the bottom of it.

Connie, I think that's
one of the gem mutants.

- What? Are you sure?
- Pretty sure at this point.

Mom, I really, really,
really need that sword.

Connie, no.
Now is not the time.

Now is the perfect time, Mom!

Connie, what has gotten into you?

You know I never go back
on a rule, young lady.

There have to be some exceptions.
I'm not some rule-driven robot.

- Connie!
- Mom!

I'll save you!

Here!

Keep your hands off my Connie!

These patients are beyond reason.

Mom, if you would just go back
on your rule this one time...

I just need to help Steven
to get us out of here!

Mother knows best!

Steven, come on!

- Oh, no.
- We're trapped.

We don't have to be.

Really, Mom, I know how to do this.

- No, you don't.
- Ugh! Yes, she does.

She's been training.

She wasn't playing
around with that sword.

She was taking classes,
learning how to use it right.

Even though she's always studying

or practicing tennis
or doing her homework,

she still works really hard
to be a good sword fighter.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.
I know my daughter.

I know what she's doing
every second of the day ...

all her activities, all her internets.

I know she's definitely not
some sword-fighting hooligan.

You don't know me at all!

You still haven't even
noticed my glasses.

- What's wrong with your glasses?
- They don't have lenses anymore.

I haven't needed actual
glasses for almost a year.

What? Your eyesight just
magically got better?

Yes!

I've been dealing
with magic and monsters

and things like these
since I met Steven.

That's why I need you to believe
I know what to do here.

- But you ...
- Ugh! There's no time for this.

- Ready?
- Drop the bubble.

Ha!

So that's why it had no pulse.
Gem experiments.

This is what you've been doing?

Training to fight these... things?

Sorry, Dr. Maheshwaren.
That's my lion.

Mom, I'm really sorry
about lying to you.

It started off as a tiny secret, and
then it felt like if I didn't hide it,

you wouldn't let me
see Steven ever again.

Is that how you feel?
Are we too controlling?

- Maybe.
- I just wanted to be a good mother.

I-I just wanted to protect you.

I can protect myself now.

Okay.

We'll pull back on the
rules, and I'll try to keep

an open mind about
this and that and... him.

It scares me that you can't talk to me.

I need to know what's
happening in your life.

I-I need to step in when
you're in over your head.

Will you just promise me
you'll stop all this lying?

- That's a rule.
- I love you, honey.

I love you too, Mom.
