The Night Shift (2014–2017): Season 3, Episode 6 - Hot in the City - full transcript

Man: It's the fifth day
of the worst heat wave

in San Antonio's history.

Temperatures will be reaching
102 by 5 P.M.,

and won't be letting up
anytime soon.

I made you an herb omelette.

Ooh. Again, huh?

Woman: * two is better
than one *

that's too bad
it's gonna get cold.

* better than one *

* nothing is forever *

* oh, bye, bye, bye *



* bye, bye, bye *

* one wants to give,
one wants to take *

* one tries to fix me up *

* one is a mistake, my, my, my *

* oh, my, my, my *

* shake me up *

* I want you to take me up *

* wake me up *

hey, where are you going?

Jessica?

Jessica?

[ Shower running ]

Hey, Jess?

Jessica?
Hey, I gotta go to work.



Jessica!

102. Damn, that's hot.

Maybe we should call in sick.

Huh?

Stay in this nice
air conditioned apartment.

Might look a little suspicious,

both of us sick
on the same night.

What's the worst that
can happen? Rumor mill starts?

The hospital...
Hmm?

Will make us take

a day-long
sexual harassment seminar.

And I've got better things
to do.

* shake me up *

* I want you to take me up *

* wake me up *

sure we should be doing this
in front of your work?

[ laughs ] Never mind.

Hey. How's it going, T.C.?

Good. You?

Oh, never better.

[ Whistling ]

What's going on
with the whistling?

Looks like someone's getting
a little somethin' somethin'

in the bedroom.
Hmm.

That obvious, huh?

Talking about Scott,
but thanks for the update.

Now we know what
you've been up to.

And apparently it was all day,
'cause you look like hell.

Jessica?

Wouldn't you like to know, huh?

Hey, you're not the only one
getting action.

Ever since I started
working out,

I can't keep my hands off Janet.

[ Siren wailing ]
It's like this morning, we got busy

for, like... 10 minutes.

[ Wailing stops ]

You wanna hear about
my sex life with Rick?

This is what we're doing now?

Female, 30.
Collapsed during a marathon.

BP's 90 over palp.

Pulse is tachy and irregular.
Temp's 102.

Sounds like heat stroke.
Trauma 1.

Oh, who runs a marathon
in this temperature?

Charity race.
Lots of heatstroke.

More coming behind us.

Sounds like it's only
the beginning.

Temp is still up,

but your heart rate's
coming down.

Okay. You feeling better?

A little bit. I've had a fever
for a couple of days.

But I just ignored it.

Didn't wanna miss the race.

You're pretty hard-core.

[ Scoffs ]
Didn't used to be.

I went through a really bad
divorce this year.

I decided I needed
to make a change.

I started weight training,
exercising.

I lost 50 pounds.
Wow.

Congratulations.
Deep breath.

[ Inhales deeply ]

[ Exhales slowly ]
There we go. Okay.

Didn't realize
how depressed I was

until my marriage was over.

You find it hard to move on?

It's one of the hardest things
I've ever done.

I'm training for
a tough mudder right now.

That's a piece of cake
next to my divorce.

[ Chuckles ]

How long you had this rash?

About a week.
Hmm.

I thought it was from all the sweating.
[ Switch clicks ]

Hmm. Maybe.

I wanna run some blood work.

Persistent fever, rash.
Ah. You might

have a virus. [ Switch clicks ]

[ Groans ]

Gotta make sure you're healthy
for that tough mudder, hmm?

All right, doc.

[ Rock music playing ]

Jordan: [ Laughs ] How did you
find out about this?

Shannon:
Some guy from bumble.

Oh! [ Laughs ]

Oh!

If you dated around more,

you might actually have
some fun, Jordan.

Oh! That was just wrong!

El matador is kicking his ass.

El matador's my cousin.

He specializes in this move
called Montezuma's revenge.

It was made famous by this
Cuban wrestler named Konnan.

My cousin does it the best.

Check it out.
He's about to do it.

He lifts El Tigre up,

hooks his legs so he can't
touch the ground.

And with his free arm,

puts El Tigre's head
into his armpit,

driving El Tigre's head
into the mat.

Bam!

Yeah! Yeah!

[ Coughing ]

[ Jordan laughs ]

I really wanna be a Luchador.

Gotta gain some weight.
I eat all the time.

This doctor told me
my metabolism's too high.

I'd give anything
to be in that ring.

Only way I'm gonna get
a pretty girl like you.

Thanks.

[ Cheering ]

[ Bell dings ]
Yo, I'm... I'm Victor.

She has a boyfriend.

Well, technically,
Sam's not my boyfriend.

Friend with benefits?

I don't... I don't know, okay?

I'm just gonna...
Figure things out.

Take it a day a time.
You know what I mean, Victor?

I can't even get a date.

[ Bell dings ]

[ Cheering ]

[ Bell dings ]

[ Smack ]

[ Crowd shouting indistinctly ]

Hey, that's an illegal move,
ref! He's choking him!

Look, look! Look at the chains.
He's choking him!

Disqualified!

Disqualified!

[ Woman screams ]

Whoa!

All right, we're outta here.

Shannon: Put your hands
around your head.

Anyone comes at you,
knee to the crotch.

Shannon!

[ Growls ]

Watch out!

[ Groans ]

Victor!

Victor? You okay?

Try to breathe.

[ Screams ]

Shannon, call 9-1-1.

Drew: What do you got?
Female, 20s.

Traumatic c-spine injury.
She's moving all extremities.

Tender to palpitation over
her second vertebrae.

What does that mean?
Am I gonna be paralyzed?

We're gonna do some tests,
okay? Can you tell me your name?

[ Crying ] Emilia.

Please, I have to be able
to walk. Please.

What's going on?
We got a c2 fracture.

Let's get some portable
c-spine films here.

Yeah, if it's unstable
and she moves,

she can cut her own spine
and lose the ability to breathe.

I saw this in Bagram.
It can go bad fast.

Shannon, can you page ortho?
We need Dr. Williams right now.

Got it.
Okay, on my count. 3, 2, 1.

Let's roll her.

Okay, it's gonna be a while

till the on-call orthopod
can get here.

Can you handle this till then?

Yeah. Emilia, I'm Dr. Alister.
I'm gonna help you, all right?

I'm really scared.

I know. I'm gonna do
everything I can for you.

Mid radial fracture, closed.
Possible broken lower ribs.

Give him 100 of fentanyl

and order a ct
to look at his liver.

All right, buddy.
We're gonna take a look inside

and make sure
nothing's bleeding.

Jordan, are you gonna be here
when I get back, babe?

Ah, you're my patient, honey,
I'm not going anywhere.

Well, what do you want me
to tell Dr. Zia?

You're three sheets to the wind?
I don't know what that means.

Oh, you're wasted.

A whole bottle of red wine.
Mm-hmm.

Yeah, you should probably
go to sleep.

Little tip... prop up your head

so you don't choke on
your own vomit.

Douche. What part of
"on-call" doesn't

he get?
[ Receiver clatters ]

Hey. Hey, I thought you were
going to, like,

a wrestling match or something?

Lucha libre.
Brawl broke out in the crowd.

Oh, whoa. You... you take a hit?
I hope no black eye or anything.

No, just a black soul.
Don't you have any patients?

Uh, no, not yet.

[ Clears throat ]

Surgeons really
have it easy, huh?

What? Why would...
Why would you even say that?

'Cause you're just
sitting around.

Uh, no. No, I'm not.

I'm... uh,
I'm not sitting around.

Basically, it's just, like,
a slow night in surgery.

Mm-hmm.
And I almost forgot.

I have a post-op check
on one of Scott's patients.

So I'm gonna... I'm gonna...
I'm gonna go do that. Um...

[ Woman speaking indistinctly
over pa ]

Man, you really
don't like Paul, do you?

I do. He just... he takes
himself so seriously.

The guy needs to lighten up.

So why can't he take
his mask off?

He can't reveal his identity.

Okay...

So why is he still wearing
his leotard and cape?

That I can't answer.
Ah.

Oh, my god. It's El matador.

He's my favorite.

Did he do
his Montezuma's revenge move?

Yeah.
Oh!

You like wrestling, Heather?

Like it? Love it.

Maybe he'll give me
an autograph.

Okay, um, could you do me
a favor

and drag El matador away
from his adoring fans

so he could cheer up his cousin?

I'll get him some scrubs.

Thank you.

[ Under breath ]
Such a weird night.

[ Metallic thud ]

Son of a bitch.

Did... did the air conditioner
just stop?

Yep.

And I just wanna go
on the record,

I had the night off.

[ Spits ]

[ Groans ]

I feel awful.

It's so hot in here.

Yeah. Ac's broken.

I'll get you some more
ice packs.

So your viral panel
and urinalysis

came back negative,

but now we got vomiting
to add to your symptoms.

Huh. I have a horrible
headache while you're at it.

Hmm. Might be time
for a spinal tap.

I prefer a beer on tap,

but something tells me
that's not on the menu.

Drew: She's got

an anterior/dislocation
fracture of the dens.

Surgery's precarious.

Right. Well, she's
neurologically intact.

Can't we just decompress
the spine with traction?

Yeah. You get ahold
of Dr. Williams?

We... [ scoffs ]
We got ahold of him,

but he can't get ahold
of himself.

Man has a little problem
with alcohol.

Okay, well, Syd, the orthopod
I worked with in Bagram,

she was amazing.
I learned a lot from her.

I can set up traction by myself.
I did a few back in country.

Okay.

Okay, I'll help you put her
in Gardner-Wells tongs.

Okay.

Emilia, okay, this contraption
is gonna look a little scary,

but it's gonna help, okay?

You just need to be very still.

Emilia: Okay.

[ Monitor beeping steadily ]

[ Crying ]
What if this doesn't work?

[ Inhales sharply ]

If I can't walk,
then I can't work,

and then I can't pay
for college.

College. That's great.
What are you studying?

[ Inhales sharply ]

I'm in business school.
I wanna be a sports agent.

[ Sniffles ]

I'm not just some dumb girl
in a bikini.

No one thinks that.

Lots of people do. [ Sniffles ]

I'm only 21.

And what happens if I end up
in a wheelchair?

You won't.

I promise you're gonna
walk out of here.

[ Emilia sniffling ]

You're just gonna feel
a little bit of pressure.

[ Squeaking ]

It's hot in here, too, huh?
Yeah.

So how you feeling, Victor?

Better after the pain shot.
[ Chuckles ]

Hey, thank you for looking out
for me earlier.

I had to get in the way
of danger, princesa.

Gotta protect that
beautiful face of yours.

You don't give up, do you?

I hope someone was recording it

so the league can see
that I can take a hit.

I got stealth moves, like a cat.

El Gato.

[ Laughs ] I would root
for El Gato.

Okay, Victor, so it looks like
you have a small laceration

on your liver from a broken rib,

and a small... Cyst

which is probably
a benign adenoma.

What's that?

It's a tumor formed
from epithelial tissue.

Don't worry. Don't worry.

You don't have cancer.
You're fine.

[ Exhales deeply ]

So, um, what we're gonna do is
we're gonna fix up your arm.

But I'd like to keep you
overnight

to observe that laceration,
okay?

Yeah, you can keep me
overnight, girl.

[ Chuckles ] All right.

I called the day shift orthopod

to come in and take a look
at Emilia.

You think you went too far
with that promise to her?

Maybe I shouldn't have
promised her,

but I've just seen too many
21 year olds

end up in permanent wheelchairs.

I'm not ready
to see another one.

You know, um, we haven't really
had a chance to... to talk

since you got back
to civilization.

How you... how you doing?

Some days are a little rocky.

Swerving under bridges,

hoping someone doesn't drop
an IED on my truck.

That kind of fun stuff.

You know, when I got back
from my first tour,

I asked our gardener
to move the shrubs

from the back of the house
to the front.

I thought I could create
a plant barrier...

[ Chuckles ]

Against outside elements.

Right, probably 'cause,
you know,

a shrub will protect you
from a pipe bomb, right?

Totally rational.

Something's wrong
with your patient. Hurry up.

I can't feel my legs!

I can't feel my legs!
Please help me!

I can't feel my legs!

[ Crying ] You promised me!

Traction didn't work.
She needs surgery now.

I'll get Scott.

Go, go, go!

Emilia, everything is
gonna be okay.

That's what you said before.

I need to manually reduce
the fragment fracture

and screw it in place.
[ Door opens ]

Day shift orthopod
hasn't called back.

I'm not a spinal surgeon, drew,
and neither are you.

This is pretty risky.
Yeah, well, we're not waiting.

If we do nothing,
she's paralyzed.

In the war zone, you do
a little bit of everything.

You don't wait around
for the on-call guy.

I can do this.

Topher, thoughts?

Well, drew worked
with an ace ortho at Bagram.

He says he's done
spinal surgery before.

I trust he knows what
he's doing.

All right.

Drew, this is your show now.

I will assist.
[ Door opens ]

Woman: Patient sedated
and ready.

One wrong move, and we can
take out her spinal cord.

Not gonna happen.

[ Gloves thud ]

[ Faucet running ]

I swear there's a bicep
in there somewhere.

Ah, it's in there, okay?

You wouldn't be able to move
your arm if it wasn't.

Vic, you wanna build
some muscle, man?

You gotta up your protein.

I already drink, like,
two protein shakes a day.

I know, but you eat
way too much fat.

Your diet's all messed up.

You should've seen this guy
when we were touring in Mexico.

He hit up every taco stand you could find.
[ Chuckles ]

Carnitas day and night.

Some people have
a high metabolism.

Sometimes it's lifestyle
and sometimes it's genetics.

I guess I just didn't get
the genes.

I just wish I was
more like my cousin.

Strong, intimidating, a winner.

All right. Okay,
so she's ready to shoot.

Let's go stand over here.

You never take that mask off
in public?

[ Chuckles ] No, especially if
I got fans following me around.

Used to wrestle under
a different name.

[ Whispers ] El diablo.

[ Chuckles ]

You never heard of me?

I'm sorry. I am...
I'm a lucha libre newbie.

Oh. Well, the people hated me,
and I didn't like it.

So, uh, I laid low for a minute,
reinvented myself.

Hmm. Sounds like something
I just did, you know?

Went on a sabbatical,
disappeared for a while.

[ Coughing ]
Hey. Hey, hey.

You're okay. You're okay.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

All right, let's do an AP lap
of his chest,

and page rt
for a breathing treatment.

[ Continues coughing ]

All right. Breathe.

Oh, man.

Hey, Heather,
it's the last bag of ice.

Thank you.

Every bed is taken
with a heat stroke patient.

Can't get a repair man here
for another two hours.

But never mind that.
[ Laughs ]

I'm Dr. Zia.

Hi. Normally, I like to
stand up when I meet new people,

but there's a needle in my back.

I-I see that.

[ Sighs ] Fever and a rash,
headache, vomiting.

Blood work is clean.

Meningitis.

Yeah, sounds like it.

I don't know if
it's bacterial or viral.

Let's hope it's the latter.

Yeah, we should isolate her

and start her on antibiotics
just in case.

Isolate me?

No, it's just a precaution.

You know, Georgia here is
training to do a tough mudder.

Dr. Zia's trying to get
in shape.

Perhaps you could give him
some pointers.

Oh, thanks. I-i got it covered.
Really?

Yeah, doc, you look
a little scrawny to me.

[ Laughs ]
Listen, two months ago,

I couldn't run
for seven minutes.

Now I can run for 7 miles.

That's pretty good.

But let me guess...
You hit a plateau.

Come on, give me a break.

I just quit smoking,
my mother lives with me.

Oh. You definitely get
a pass.

[ Laughter ]

Uh, can you send that up
to micro?

I'm gonna get
the isolation room started.

Okay, thanks.

Georgia,
back in a couple minutes.

Hey, hey.

You okay?

Yeah, I, uh,
I just brought a girl in

from the halfway house.

Drying out from, uh, heroin
and a heat wave don't mix.

You want me to take a look
at her?

No, she's just dehydrated.
Kenny's giving her fluids.

I'm gonna grab something from
the cafeteria and head out.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

[ Woman speaking indistinctly
over pa ]

Pfft. What...
[ Chuckles ]

What... what are you
doing here?

I have an ENT who's using
a new laser.

I had to give him
a refresher course.

My job is getting old.

I need to find something
more challenging.

Mmm, any chance you can
sneak away?

I just need you for
5, 10 minutes tops.

[ Sighs ] Yeah, I wish, but...
I got a patient.

Oh.

Well, if you change your mind...

There is nothing between
me and these pants.

Nothing.

I don't need that.

Doc, my cousin's had this cough
for the last few weeks.

He went on antibiotics twice
and they didn't work.

Yeah, I heard him coughing
at the match.

It could be bronchitis
or asthma.

Okay. [ Sighs ]

Victor, your X-ray patterns
are suggestive of Tb.

We're gonna have to get you

and anyone else who was
on that tour tested.

That means you, too, matador.
Are you serious?

I'm always serious. Shouldn't we
isolate both of them?

[ Lowered voice ]
Yeah, but where?

Okay, T.C. already has a patient
in isolation.

And if this is a bunch of people
with tuberculosis,

we are screwed.

Drew: How does a ring girl get
messed up instead of a wrestler?

Removing a piece of lamina.

Oh, damn.

Clot and bone fragments
are blocking our access.

Scott: Yeah.

All right, let's get it
all cleaned out.

It's gonna take too long
to clear all this out.

Any delay with this heat,
too risky.

Chance of infection's too high.

We need another way in.

I can go through the mouth.

We can bypass the debris
and cut the OR time in half.

Through the mouth?

Have you done that before?

I assisted in
the exact same procedure

on a corporal in Bagram.

He had a piece of shrapnel
lodged on his second vertebrae.

And it worked?
Yeah.

I'm not gonna lie.
It's pretty tricky.

But if we don't, this girl
will never walk again.

Well, you army docs do stuff
on the battlefield

every day that we've never
tried around here.

Let's do it.

Okay.

Just remind me never to promise
a patient anything ever again.

Okay, I need you to check

every person in that waiting
room who was on that tour

who has Tb symptoms.
Okay.

Hey.

So I saw something
you should know about,

but you'll be happy
you didn't see it.

T.C.'s hooking up
with that new drug rep,

the one with the $600 stilettos
and Ducati.

Uh... That's great.

I'm... I'm happy for him.

Hmm.

You know,
you shouldn't gossip so much.

You never know
if it's gonna come back

and bite you in the ass.
I wasn't gossiping.

This is all about sisterhood.
I thought you'd wanna know.

Well, thank you.

But, uh, let's keep it
between the two of us, okay?

And you have a patient.

Sam: 82-year-old female
with heat exhaustion

and syncope... whoa.
What's going on in here?

Dante's nine circles of hell.

Should you guys still
be taking patients?

Topher's call.

Hey.

Hey.

I thought you had the night off.

I did until the audience decided
to join in on the fighting

and a crazy fan tried
to kick me in the head.

Well, I'm glad you weren't
kicked in the head.

Yeah, me, too.

Here, you might need this.

Oh. That's... Sweet.

[ Chuckles ]

Okay, okay. All right, I...

I'm at work. Gotta go.

Think T.C. knows about
those two?

I-I didn't know, so I-i doubt
he has any idea.

Not sure how he's gonna take it.

Oh, he's a big boy.
He can handle it.

Yeah.

Well, I didn't see nothing.

[ Mutters ]
[ Laughs ]

I didn't... oh! I didn't see...
No, man. [ Laughs ]

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just got a cramp
in my... my glute.

[ Clears throat ] Ah! Whoa.

What, uh...
So speaking of muscles,

how's... how's your
bike training been going?

I did 40 minutes on
the stationary bike yesterday.

Hey, tomorrow, I'm taking you
outside on the terrain.

All right? Stay hydrated.

[ Under breath ] Thank you.

Oh, man.

Hey, uh, Topher.

Hello, Sam.

Should we be rerouting patients
to another hospital?

Uh... I called St. Luke's.
They're just as slammed.

Could you and a couple of
your guys bring as much ice

as you can get your hands on?

If you have any extra fans at
the station, bring those, too.

Yeah, sure.
Thanks.

I, uh, I have your patie...
I-i have your labs.

You're a lab tech now?

No wonder you couldn't hack
the ER.

I was... I was coming
to check on...

You know what? Do you want your
patient's Tb results or not?

'Cause... They're negative.

So I'm good, right?

We'll still send this off in
case it was a false negative.

Anything else?

Maybe you'd like to
pull up a chair,

play some "farm heroes"
on your phone?

What...
[ Coughing ]

Okay.
Help him!

Jordan!

[ Victor continues coughing ]

Okay, I need an ultrasound.

Okay, all right.

[ Whooshing ]

His liver's bleeding.
Let's get him to the OR.

All right.

Looks like you got
your first patient.

Cousin!
I'm praying for you, man.

He has a cyst on his liver
near the bleeding.

It could complicate surgery.

Paul, take care of this guy,
okay? He's special.

I heard that.
You're in good hands, Victor.

I already was.

Scott's in OR 2. Grab him.
OR 2.

Okay, Scott, I got my finger
on the anterior tubercle.

Grab it carefully with a kocher.

Scott:
And pull volar traction.

Exactly.

Okay, once that's aligned,

I'll place an odontoid screw.

Dr. Clemmens? You're needed
in OR 1 immediately.

Don't worry, Scott.
I got this.

If you need me,
I'm 30 seconds away.

All right, nurse. Hold traction.

Hey, what are you doing here?
Hi.

Oh, I brought in someone
from the halfway house.

Kenny told me
I'd find you up here.

Yeah.
Um, I have your wallet.

Oh, you could've
given this to me later.

I know. I just... I'm
being kind of silly.

I kind of wanted
to see you again.

I'm really happy to see you.
But I'm running into surgery.

So why don't you
pick me up later

and we'll go have breakfast?

Okay.
Good?

[ Woman speaking indistinctly
over pa ]

Jordan. Hi.

Hi.

Scott and I just started dating.

I see that.

It's very new. We... we haven't
told anybody yet.

So does that mean T.C.
doesn't know?

I... I kind of wanted
to wait and see

where things were going first.

But... I guess it looks like
it's going someplace good.

Okay.

Hey. Brought you another fan.

Oh, point it right at my face.

Georgia, your cerebrospinal
fluid was positive.

I have meningitis?
Yeah.

We're not sure what kind yet

'cause the cultures haven't
come back.

So hopefully, it's just viral
and it'll go... go away.

You okay?
[ Grunts ] My chest hurts.

I can't breathe. [ Gasps ]

What's going on?
She's having a heart attack.

I'll page cardiology.
All right.

That's it. That's it.
Okay.

[ Monitor beeping steadily ]

How's Victor's surgery going?

We're almost done here.

Repaired the lacerated liver
and removed the cyst.

[ Monitor beeping rapidly ]
Paul: Blood pressure's down to 72 systolic.

- Scott: He must be bleeding somewhere.
- The field looks dry.

Did you check behind the liver?

Yes. I did already.

He's down to 58, guys.

We're gonna lose him.

Cardiology has somebody
in the Cath lab,

but she'll be next.

Just started heparin
and a nitro drip.

We're missing something.

Meningitis doesn't cause
heart attacks.

Unless the same virus is
attacking the heart.

But her viral panel was normal.

Topher. Look at the skin
on her hands.

What the hell?
It's peeling off.

Yeah.

Conjunctivitis, skin shedding,

strawberry tongue.

This is Kawasaki disease.

The diffuse inflammatory
reaction could explain

the multiple symptoms.

Yeah, and it causes aneurysms
of the coronary arteries,

which would explain
the heart attack.

Forget cardiology. Take her to
the OR for bypass surgery.

Topher: I'll take her
right away.

[ Monitor beeping rapidly ]

Crit is stable.

So he's not bleeding.

Levophed is maxed out.
It's not working.

Maybe he's septic?

No, white count
and temperature are normal.

Could be an adrenal issue.
Let's put the films back up.

Okay, hold on a second. Um...

All right, he was traveling
in Mexico for about a month.

And his cousin said he was
eating pork

like it was going out of style.

Parasites?

Hand me the specimen container
with the cyst.

Look at those suckers.
Unbelievable.

He's in anaphylactic shock
from the parasites

pouring into his abdomen.

[ Flatline tone sounding ]
He's crashing.

Scott: We gotta stop this
reaction. We gotta irrigate.

Hand me an epi now.

[ Suctioning ]
We're in.

[ Monitor beeping steadily ]
BP's up.

That was close.

It was too close.

All right. Nice work, Paul.
You good to close?

Yep.

Woman over P.A.: Code blue,
code blue. Room 359.

Code blue. Room 359.

[ Sighs ]
Hey. What's going on?

I could be hallucinating
from the heat,

but I think drew's doing
a spinal surgery

through a patient's mouth.

The mouth?

Where'd he learn how to do that?

It's the major that he worked
with during his last deployment.

She made a real impression.

- Guess our little boy's growing up.
- I guess so.

How's Georgia?
So far so good.

Uh, surgeon thinks we got it
in time.

Heat wave ended up
saving her life.

You know the... The fireman, Sam?
Mm.

Jordan's seeing him.

I didn't want you to hear it
from one of the nurses.

Seems like a nice guy.

I-I moved on.
I want her to be happy.

You really moved on?

Mm-hmm.

Hardest thing I've ever done.

Hydatid cyst. It's crazy.

Haven't seen one of those
since residency.

Yeah, well, thanks for
pulling out all the stops.

Hey, whatever you wanna say,

just say it, Jordan.

I think you're making
a huge mistake

getting involved with Annie.

Oh, do you?
Yes.

I know that she is sober

and she is trying to be
a better person,

but I have seen her go down
that path a hundred times before

and it never works out.

So you're an expert
on all things Annie?

I've known the woman
for 10 years.

Okay? She stole from T.C.

Yeah, and she came back,

and she's been trying
to make it up to him.

Do you have any idea how hard
that was for her to do?

She makes me happy, Jordan.

For now.

I'm just worried she's going
to break your heart.

Well, you don't have to be
a recovering alcoholic

to break somebody's heart.

[ Monitor beeping steadily ]

Hi, Emilia.

I'm Dr. Clemmens.

I assisted Dr. Alister
in your surgery.

[ Whispers ] Hi.

Can you try something for me?

Can you try wiggling
your fingers?

What about your left hand?

Okay, uh...

Your toes?

I can feel that.

[ Chuckles ]

I think that deserves a yay.

Yay.
Oh, I was...

You meant from her?
Yeah.

[ Laughs ]

With a little rest and rehab,
you'll be good as new.

Thank you.
Thank you so much.

How are you feeling?

Little out of it,
but the pain is better, though.

But you're never gonna eat pork
again. I know I'm not.

[ Chuckles ]

Oh, hey.

There's the best doctor
in San Antonio.

And the cutest.
[ Chuckles ]

No offense.

Oh, it's okay. I'm saving
myself for the one.

Well, obviously,
someone is feeling better.

Hmm.
Okay, Victor,

you are going to have to take
an anti-parasitic pill

for the next few weeks, but you
should make a full recovery.

So the parasite's
giving him that cough?

Yeah, he had an autoimmune
response to the parasite

which caused areas of swelling
in his lungs.

And, Victor,
that parasite in there

is why you couldn't gain weight.

Awesome. So I could put on
some muscle now?

Yes. Yes, you can.

[ Lowered voice ] Hey. Hey, doc.

So what are the chances that

Victor's ever gonna bulk up
like me?

Slim.

Uh, with his physiology,
it would take a lot of work.

He wants to be a Luchador
so bad.

And after everything
he's been through,

I just... I wish there was
something we could do, you know,

to make him feel like the man.

You know what I mean?
Hmm.

I have an idea.

So my body's attacking itself?

Yes, but this medication
will stop the process.

And the surgeon said that

the damage to your heart
was minimal.

We, uh, we rarely see
this disease in adults.

So I'm a freak of nature?

Oh, I would say
you were special.

Okay, can I still train
for the tough mudder?

[ Gloves snap ]

Because I can't go back
to sitting on my couch

eating my own weight in Oreos.

Well, you have to keep
a close eye on your heart,

but it shouldn't stop you
from living your life.

You can continue
to torment yourself

with exercise
and clean eating and...

Dr. Zia, you need to change
your mindset.

Right, Toph. Once you make
a change, you never go back.

Right. [ Laughs ]

Hey.
Hi, Toph.

Hey, T.C.
yeah?

You got a minute?

Sure. You all good?

Yeah.
Okay.

[ Giggling ]
Yeah, El matador.

I love you so much, matador.

Will you sign my boob?

All right.
Yeah!

Okay, El matador needs his rest.

Oh, man. That was the greatest
five minutes of my life.

But... You could've let me
sign her boobies.

[ Scoffs ]
Step too far, buddy.

Victor: Thanks, Jordan.

[ Laughs ]

All clear?

Wait. You're El matador?

You're El diablo.

Man, I hated you.

You were the worst.

You see? One good deed.

Yeah, I understand if you're not
jumping for joy over this.

But I swear to you,

I have Annie's best interests
at heart.

Hmm.

And I know this is
probably weird for you

or awkward or...

A bunch of other adjectives,
I don't know.

But I just wanted to tell you
myself, man to man.

And hey, don't... try not to be
too hard on Annie

for not telling you first.

She was just really concerned
about how you'd react.

She thinks of you
as her only family.

Thanks, man.

Epic save on
that c-spine trauma.

Thank you.

You know, we saw some
messed up things over there.

At the end of the day,
makes us better doctors.

[ Woman speaks indistinctly
over P.A. ]

I'm not moving.

What...

Did you poison it?

[ Mouth full ]
I thought about it,

but a woman using poison
as a murder weapon

is so cliché.

Nice job with Victor today.

You know, it may not seem like
I do much around here,

but surgeons are there

when the stakes
are the highest. So...

Yeah, I know.
Surgeons are kings.

I-I don't know about kings.

I mean, if Jordan hadn't been
there to help,

we would've lost Victor.

I-I'm just saying that when
we're together as a team,

that's when we save lives.

What I'm trying to impart
is that...

Oh, my god.
Mmm.

Oh... oh, my god.
Why would you do that?

You said we're a team.

I decided I liked yours better.

You really have to loosen up,
Paul. You're so rigid.

I'm not rigid.
That was... that was gross.

Rigid. Rigid. Rigid.

Okay, I just... this
this is my Popsicle.

[ Air conditioner turns on ]
Sure, now it works.

[ Applause ]

Hey.
No. No, no, no.

What is...
Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah.

Things are moving way too fast
with Sam.

So about those dating apps
that you're using...

- Mm-hmm.
- Um, can you tell me about them?

Oh, I'll text you a list,

but basically, here's the deal.

Remember, it's a numbers game,

so don't take anything
personally.

And always swipe right
on the maybes

'cause they may be hotter
in person.

And also, only meet for coffee
or a drink,

but make sure the bar has food
in case the guy doesn't suck.

And if you don't wanna slip back
into serial monogamy,

keep it to
a 2-date maximum.

All right. [ Chuckles ]

Time for you to have
some fun, Jordan.

Yeah. I couldn't agree more.

See ya.

So Kawasaki disease in an adult?

Yeah. Hydatid liver cyst.

This night was bananas
with a capital B.

Yeah.

So you and Sam?

Yeah. Casual, you know,
taking it day by day.

You and Jessica?

For now.

You know me.

I do.

So that's happening.

Yeah. Annie and Scott.

Yeah, he told me, man to man.

Man to man, huh?
How do you feel about it?

Oh, I hated it.
[ Chuckles ]

He's arrogant, egotistical.
Well, hold on.

You know, I used to date
the guy.

He happens to be
a really great guy.

Annie, however, is a walking
therapy session.

Oh, that's my family
you're talking about.

All right, so she's not
the most stable. But who is?

She stole your TV.

Gave me an excuse
to buy a new one.

Son Ravello: * and all the charm
surrounding it *

I gotta go.

* slowly disappears *

yeah. Me, too.

* could I be looking back
too much *

hey.
Hi.

I think I'm made you
too many omelettes.

How do you feel about
huevos rancheros?

[ Car door closes ]

[ Sighs ]

Sam, we gotta talk.

* and we face destination *

* but look how far I've come *
