The Good Doctor (2017–…): Season 5, Episode 14 - Potluck - full transcript
When someone mistakenly brings a hallucinogen-laced dish to the hospital's company potluck, much of the hospital staff and doctors are incapacitated forcing Murphy, Glassman and Allen to take on all of the hospital's cases.

♪ Do you remember...
Morgan's meatballs?
Garlic.
(GASPS)
Lim's brownies.
Walnuts.
Okay, you can't have an
empty plate the whole time,
because it is kind of rude.
Wouldn't it be ruder
to take food and not eat it?
♪♪
Your recliner
does not go with
any of the other furniture
in the living room.
It's older and, you know,
a little worn in.
Which is why I like it.
It's unique.
I do, too, and it's
super comfortable,
which is why it'll
go great in the den.
Upstairs.
Fair enough.
Mm-hmm.
Ooh. Loading up
for an ultra-marathon?
Figured I'd better try
everyone's contributions.
Your brownies were great.
Well, thank you.
I should be the one
carbo loading,
seeing as half my department's
in New York
for the next three days.
Those conferences raise
the hospital's profile,
as well as
your department's.
♪ Ba-du-da, ba-du...
SHAUN: That has mayonnaise.
You don't have to eat it.
Just move some to a napkin
every few minutes,
then just...
♪ Holdin' hands
with your heart
to see you...
Hm.
I am going to need
a lot of napkins.
(CELL PHONE CHIMES)
Hm.
Oh. Or none at all.
I have to go.
♪ Remember ♪
Jake Khan, 32.
Cut off his big toe
while camping.
Chopping wood
is very dangerous.
My neighbor in Wyoming
nearly died
after hitting his foot
with an axe.
It wasn't an axe,
it was a machete.
She wasn't
chopping wood.
I woke up,
and the tent was dark.
I thought I saw a snake,
but it was his foot.
Do you normally
wear glasses?
(GASPS)
I retract that question.
Can you reattach it?
Your machete
was very sharp.
So yes.
Your sweet potato casserole
was a runaway hit.
It was gone
before I got any.
You should have had some
back at the apartment
when you had the chance.
I got distracted,
which I seem to remember
was your fault.
(GIGGLES)
You busy this weekend?
Actually, a few of
my college buddies
are in town.
Well, I'd love
to hear all about
my boyfriend's
frat house exploits.
I think they kind of
just want to catch up
with me.
Maybe next time?
Yeah. Totally.
Next time.
SHAUN: Digital nerve
is fully re-attached.
DR. LIM: Check
for distal pulses.
Add this
to the list of reasons
I don't go camping.
Right after ticks,
bears, and giardia.
Lea loves bears.
She thinks they're cute.
A grizzly bear can crush
a bowling ball with its bite.
I watch a lot
of Discovery.
Pulse present.
Color and capillary refill
look good.
It's well-perfused.
Good. Let's... (RETCHES)
Dr. Lim, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I just had a little bit
too much at the potluck.
All good.
Let's finish up here.
Let's just place
a dress...ing.
♪♪
Step away.
Very slowly.
♪♪
Why?
C-Can't you see
the snake right...there?
T-There is no snake.
Dr. Lim, I think
you should step out.
(VOMITING)
(ELECTRIC GUITAR VERSION
OF THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
(LAUGHTER)
(WOMAN VOMITS)
MAN: Whoa!
How are you feeling?
Any nausea? Dizziness?
No. What is happening?
Everyone here
was at the potluck.
Has to be
some sort of toxin
or food poisoning.
Dr. Lim's symptoms
don't seem like
typical food poisoning.
How many people are...
(GRUNTS)
Shaunie!
Oh.
I missed ya.
Okay.
Fourteen, including her.
(GROANS)
(LAUGHS)
I'm cool, right?
Like, if you were hanging out
with a bunch of friends,
like, you'd want me to come?
Totally. You're the coolest.
Add insecure blabbering
to the list of symptoms.
Start an IV,
get him on some fluids.
(GASPS) Put me down!
(LAUGHS)
You know what I love
about you?
Oh, no.
You look like
a Disney princess.
But you're mean.
And that's so...
...hot.
I love you.
Uh, I love you, too.
That's why we need to talk
about my recliner.
You can't hide it
in the den.
It's living room
or bust.
Okay, let's find you
a nice place to lie down.
Are you experiencing nausea,
confusion, or hallucinations?
No.
I'm great.
Oh.
Almost as great
as your hair.
Oh.
Temperature's elevated.
And you're using
the same voice you use
to talk to
our neighbor's dog.
Oh. How do you do that?
Conditioner?
Genetics?
Pupils dilated.
(SIGHS)
Waiting room
is utter pandemonium.
We have an ETA on surgeons
returning from the conference?
There's a huge storm
in New York.
Flights are grounded
till tomorrow.
We can't send anyone home
till we know for sure
what we're dealing with.
Let's keep them in the E.R.
and watch for any renal,
hepatic, or neurological
complications.
There aren't enough bays
in the E.R.
to babysit a sick staff
and also take in new patients.
We could use the private E.R.
bays for the sicker staff,
then use a conference room
for overflow.
The residents'
break room is better.
Has a sink and no carpet.
It's vomit-ready.
Prep the break room,
and then start figuring out
exactly what everyone ate.
Document any commonalities.
I'll loop in Dr. Allen.
The four of us will run point
on any surgical and E.R...

(INDISTINCT TALKING)
DR. GLASSMAN: I know
it's a little crazy
out there right now,
but in here,
it's just like
any other day.
Mr. Hoyt here
fractured his skull
while trying
to fix his roof,
and now we are going
to try and fix him.
Dr. Murphy, help me
mark up the patient,
and let's crack him open.
I think you mean mark
the trauma flap
for the craniotomy?
Sure.
Who played Olympic Hills
last week?
Was that you?
Put two balls in the pond
off the first tee.
Went downhill from there.
I know that pond,
and I hate that pond.
You know
the pot bunker on 18?
Dr. Glassman,
the CT scans show
skull fragments are putting
pressure on the brain.
We need to go faster.
Four times,
I hit the lip.
Four times, the ball rolled
right back to my feet.
Scalpel.
♪♪
I feel...
Floaty.
Should I get a doctor?
No, it's nice.
The snakes
still in your bed?
No.
I think they're sleeping.
(GASPS)
Oh.
Your pink sweater
is...amazing.
And swirly.
So swirly.
(CHUCKLES) It's a good thing
you sent a chunk
of the department
to that conference.
Not that you asked me.
I'm head of the hospital.
Like I could ever
forget that.
(CHUCKLES)
There it is.
That classic Audrey Lim
passive aggressive
pushback.
Whatever was in the food
seems to have lowered
your inhibitions, so...
Okay. Good.
You want me to be
less passive aggressive?
Yes, I would.
Okay.
Okay.
All that talk about how much
you care about the hospital?
(WHISPERS)
I don't buy it.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
(IN NORMAL VOICE) You love
being the president.
(CHUCKLES)
Yes, you do.
And all that power
and attention
just feeds
your ginormous ego.
Oh, that's rich,
coming from
the control freak
who keeps just enough chaos
in her life to feel cool.
This whole maverick,
daredevil schtick?
I'm so over it.
Aren't you over it?
(SCOFFS) You know
what I'm over?
Your skin-tight clothes.
Yeah, we get it.
You're in great shape.
Excuse me,
maybe you two should...
For your age.
I work out.
We know.
...stop talking
about anything.
♪♪
The cranioplasty
took seven minutes longer
than it should have.
I'm okay with that,
as long as we have
a smooth surgery.
But with all the cases
we have...
Shaun, you're in the O.R.
You're a leader. Okay?
When people are stressed,
that's when mistakes happen.
How does pretending
a stressful situation
isn't stressful
make it less stressful?
Dr. Glassman?
Bay seven is waiting.
Keep the morale up,
keep the tension down.
♪♪
Do you remember what you ate
from the potluck?
Your hair's emitting...
A glow.
Probably because
it's on fire.
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
Let's move you
to a quiet area.
This is so not
the worst trip
I've been on.
I work in tech.
You've been to one
micro-dosing session
in the Redwoods,
you've been to
all of them.
Please answer
my questions.
I need to
pinpoint what dish
is affecting everyone.
Oh, good idea.
I wanna help.
You are way too high
for that.
Ooh. Oh, yeah?
I ate Skarlen's cake,
which definitely had
too much nutmeg,
which can be
a hallucinogenic.
But she didn't make enough
to affect everyone.
I also ate
Giacomin's sandwiches,
which were on rye.
Moldy rye supposedly
caused the hysteria
at the Salem Witch Trials,
which I doubt
everyone ate them,
because they were
terrible.
So dry.
But given what I am feeling,
uh, my expert opinion,
we're in the neighborhood
of LSD, mescaline.
(CHUCKLES)
Start asking people
questions.
Mm. 'Kay.
SHAUN: Irrigate into
the incision site.
Does my urging you to move
quickly make you tense?
No. I can handle it.
Dr. Glassman thinks
the O.R. staff can't,
which is why
he works too slowly.
And uses
wrong terminology.
Hope you didn't
tell him that.
I did.
He is normally open
to my opinions.
We have known each other
a long time.
Uh, I know, Shaun,
but he's a senior surgeon,
and you're still
a resident.
You can't expect for him
to adjust to your pace.
You can run things
the way you want
when you're
the senior doctor.
So, if I'm not working
with Dr. Glassman
and I am the senior doctor,
I can run things how I want.
(TABLET BEEPS)
That's not exactly
what I meant.
More patients.
I need to go.
Close him up
and run an EKG,
and thank you
for the helpful advice.
♪♪
No deep lacerations.
You done? I have to
work in the morning.
You should take
the day off.

a chance to heal.
No, I need the hours.

Dr. Glassman,
there is a patient
in bay two.
Thank you.
I'll be right there.
Just, uh, sit.

What kind of work
do you do, Cameron?
♪♪
How severe
is the rectal pain?
I can barely sit down.
Any history
of rectal fissures,
inflammatory bowel disease,
or hemorrhoids?
I don't think so.
Dr. Murphy,
what was that last part?
Hemorrhoids. We are very busy.
You need to write faster.
Have you recently
inserted a foreign object
into your rectum?
Please answer.
I am trying to help you,
but also, I do not want
to spend any longer
than necessary.
It was a toothbrush.
I was...bored.
Second degree
electrical burn.
Were you touching
anything else
when you got shocked?
I don't think so.
Burn ointment,
morphine for debridement,
maintenance fluids.
I asked for lactated ringers
with D-5 saline, not D-10.
I'm sorry.
You were going so fast.
No, thank you.
I will get it myself.
I imagine with the pay cuts
and the new hires,
there's a lot of pressure
at work, huh?
Yeah. My wife
already lost her job,
and I can't afford
to lose mine, too.
Are you sleeping?
Um...
What about the bean dip?
I don't think
I had any of that.
Hm.
Hm.
The mac and cheese.
Meatballs.
♪♪
The soup.
No. Wait.
I only thought about
getting the soup.
(CHUCKLES) Hilarious.
I barely see my wife anymore,
and when I do,
I'm just so tired
and irritated all the time.
Have you been
self-medicating?
Stimulants?
Amphetamines, maybe?

ASHER: I asked
if I could join,
find out what my boyfriend
was like in college,
and then...

That was
a record scratch.
He totally shut me out.
Oh, that's so cool
you and Jerome
are officially "boyfriends."
You just called him that.
(EXHALES SLOWLY)
I called him
my boyfriend.
That's why
he freaked out.
(WHISPERING) Wait.
Was that...
The first time?
Oh, man.
No. No.
That's not
an unreasonable thing
to assume, right?
We've been on dates.
We've even had breakfast
the morning after,
but maybe
he's seeing other people.
Hey, man.
You said how you feel,
you just laid it out there,
and that's great.
You gotta be
who you are.
Yeah.
Otherwise, you'll
find yourself moving
into a new place
where your kickass recliner
is hidden away upstairs.
You deserve better

You deserve

Mr. Cho, you had
a minor asthma attack
as a result
of the esmolol.
W-Why did he
give it to me then?
You didn't tell the nurse
about your asthma.

Didn't anyone check

Shaun, do me a favor, please,
and... And step outside

(MONITOR BEEPING)
(SIGHS) Mr. Cho,
the important thing is that
your vitals are normal now,
and there won't be
any long-term effects
as a result of the medication.
I'll be right back.
You didn't have time
to get a clear history?
His blood pressure
was critically high
and trending up.
And now it's low.
I warned you about this,
didn't I?
You were stressed
and then you stressed him.
Okay, I would
feel less stressed
if you were moving faster.
That's not your call.
I wasn't wrong.
An asthmatic response
to esmolol
is rare and less critical
than a hypertensive crisis.
And if you had not
been so slow to get
to the patient...
Shaun.
...because I know you are
not able to work at my pace,
but your medical strategy
is not working. No, no.
Work at your pace?
Yes.
You need to go get something

Okay.

that we got together?
Like, if you'd told us
even a year ago...
Well, stranger things
have happened.

Wha...
I landed weird earlier.
You know what else is weird?
How people say
"opposites attract."
But the novelty
wears off, right?
Remember that video
with Paula Abdul
and that cartoon cat...
They didn't have a future.
They probably couldn't agree
on furniture, either.
How about
we talk about this later?
You know, that recliner
has been with me
through marriage,
Kellan, med school, divo...
I asked you to put it
in the den, not throw it out.
Because you're embarrassed
by it. You don't respect it.
If you don't respect it,
maybe you don't respect me.
And before you know it,
you'll be hiding me upstairs
in a house you're paying for,
where you'll be the boss,
and I'll be nothing but a sad,
lonely piece of furniture.

It's very strange.
His spleen is on
the wrong side.
Okay.
Were you in
a car accident?
No, he used a ball launcher
to fire a basketball
at his stomach.
Yeah, my followers
love that stuff.
You have
a wandering spleen.
The ligaments holding
it were likely weakened
from past trauma.
The impact from the ball
caused it to break away.
Oh, snap. Can you
e-mail me those pics?
That's dope content
for my follow-up video.
L-Later.
You're not getting adequate
blood flow to the spleen.
We need to get you
into surgery now.
Sweet. Hey, can you guys
film this for me?
Urine samples
from the dosed

Any food updates?
No-go on the ribs

do people
usually talk crazy
or reveal their
true feelings?
Both.
Though often
they're related.
Yeah, Park's

I mean,
dancing on tables?
You want to talk Park

Both?
Great.
We just moved in together,
and now he's rambling
about how opposites
don't attract.
Or shouldn't? I...
You know the word rambling
can refer to horny horses?
Maybe he's just nervous
about change.
Park doesn't get nervous.
Well, it's either
completely irrelevant
or something you two
need to have
a very serious talk about.
Isn't Dr. Gentry vegan?
Yes.
That takes out chicken,
mac and cheese, and Jell-O.
(GASPS) The sweet potatoes.
Whose dish was that?
That's impossible.
I got the recipe online.
I followed it exactly.
Interesting.
And did you help him?
You think
I did something
to his dish?
Maybe you thought
it'd be funny.
That makes no sense,
which isn't surprising
because you're tripping.
But I'm not,
and I remember
you put a bag labeled "organs"
in the shared fridge
and changed Dr. Riley's
license plate to "IMPOTENT."
Those were harmless pranks,
unlike dosing a hospital.
I'm sorry... Pause.
When exactly was
this Prank Master era?
It wasn't an era.
It was just some stuff I did
my first few years here.
Oh.
So you were different then?
Or are you just morphing
into different people
depending on
who you're talking to?
Do you have
other personalities

You need to convince
Dr. Glassman

Why can't you
tell him yourself?
We had an argument
a few hours ago.
I'm not sure
