The Night Shift (2014–2017): Season 3, Episode 8 - All In - full transcript

Okay, people, shift is starting
in five minutes.

Enjoy your night off,
Dr. Cummings.

Keep your phone close by.

Will do.

Guess you and Scott
still aren't talking?

Yeah, he's made it
abundantly clear

that he did not appreciate my
opinion of he and Annie dating.

You just said
what everybody else is thinking.

That's what friends do.

It's more complicated.

Complicated?
It's freudian.



A hot, successful surgeon who
can have his choice of women,

yet he picks
the ex-addict sister-in-law

of a guy
who he doesn't really like

and who
his last girlfriend hates.

I don't hate her.

You ain't friends.

I'm just saying,
it's no coincidence...

On both their parts.

Okay, are you done with this
little psychoanalysis of yours?

I've said my piece.
Okay.

Hey, uh, what was that
top-secret nurses' meeting today?

I don't know.
I skipped it.

I think it was just some,
uh, union stuff,

bunch of contract negotiations
or something like that.



Okay.

So, you, uh, you off tonight?

Well, I'm just on call,

so I'm actually sneaking out
for a dinner date.

Dinner date?
That's nice.

Is it in 1965?

Wait a minute.
On the first date?

Dude, no. No, d-don't
get stuck into dinner.

Dude, the crazy comes out
over dinner.

Look, I actually like to
show a woman a good time, okay?

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I need to go change.

31-year-old male.

Pain in the lower-right quadrant
since this morning.

Hi.
I'm Dr. Alexander.

I'm Dylan.
Ever heard of F.O.P.?

Uh, yeah.
The connective-tissue disorder?

That's me.

Okay.

All right, let's carefully
move him to trauma 2.

Any injury, even from a bump,

can cause
spontaneous bone growth.

Am I right, Dylan?
You got it.

Hey, Jocelyn, could you get
us more pillows, please?

Sure.

Duty calls.
Ohh!

All right, I'll see you
in the morning.

Don't keep me waiting.
I won't.

Good to see you back in action,
Topher. How's your head feeling?

All good.

Counting the days
till that Hawaiian conference.

Janet! Ma!

What happened?

I don't know.
She's acting weird.

I thought you could
take a look at her.

Ma, how are you feeling?

I was just telling your father
I'm perfectly capable

of crossing the street
without him.

Ma, dad's been dead for years.

What's going on?

I'm fine, christophe...

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa.
Okay, we got you.

Let's get her into trauma 1.

Okay.

Yo, tee.
Yeah?

Nasty accident
out on highway 281.

They need a doc
to move the patient.

Chopper's waiting.
You want it or...?

Drew, will you take it?
I got to...

Yeah, stick with mama Topher.
Okay, yeah, I'm on it.

Uh, Shannon, you're with me.
Let's go.

All right, man, catch you later.

Yo, Paul. I'm sorry, man.
Mva coming in. Back to scrubs.

Fantastic.

She was a little out of it
but fine.

And then, on the way home, this.

B.P.'s 86 over 40.

Well, what does that mean?

It's a little low.
It's really low.

Could be heart failure, sepsis,
adrenal insufficiency.

O-or just dehydration.

We're gonna run
a panel of tests,

and then we'll get it
all sorted out.

B.P.'s down to 64.

She's crashing.
Hang another liter!

Central line.

She needs pressors now.
Ma? Ma?!

Ma?
Ma, can you hear me?

Can you hear me? Ma?

What do we got?

Rollover mva.

Driver saw a deer, swerved,
flipped the car into the ravine.

How many victims?
Two.

Driver's
a 38-year-old female

with blunt abdominal trauma
and laceration.

Still trapped in the car.

Her daughter's
out, but she's got

a wrist injury. Name's Brianna.

Please, if you just let me
go, I can get her! Please!

Hey, Brianna. Brianna!

I'm Dr. Alister.
This is Dr. Rivera.

How are you doing?

- My wrist hurts, but she's still in there!
- Okay. Hey.

Please, you have to go get her!

Okay, listen to me.

I'm gonna check on your mom
right away.

She's not my mom.
She's my foster mom.

Please don't let her die.

I'm gonna do
everything I can, okay?

- No! Please!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Brianna!

Shannon, let's keep her warm
and get her checked out.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Let's... let's take a look
at your wrist, okay?

It hurts?

Somebody help me!

Avery?

Help me!
I'm Dr. Alister.

We're gonna get you out of here
as soon as we can.

Stay calm.

Okay. Slow your breathing. Okay.

This is Dr. Rivera.

Where's Brianna?!
I checked her, ma'am.

I'm gonna go right back
to be with her.

All right, Avery?
Uh-huh?

Okay, I've got to stop
this bleeding.

Okay.

Okay, so you're gonna
feel a little pressure.

Okay, just keep breathing deep.
You're doing great.

Got it. Good.

Okay, here.
Let's pack around it.

Okay, now,
we stopped the bleeding,

but we got to cut you
out of here, okay?

Okay.

We're gonna be right here.

Okay.
Okay.

You're doing great.
Okay.

Let's go!

All right,
I'll go stay with Brianna.

Brianna, it's gonna be okay.

Christopher.

Ma, you're okay.

You just passed out for a bit.

B.P.'s only up to 87.

She's barely responding
to pressors.

What are we forgetting?

Any recent fevers?

No.

What do you think?
Brain-stem stroke?

A stroke? Really?

I-it's unlikely, Toph.

She's altered, but...

I'm gonna clear
the C.T. queue.

Ma, we're gonna take you to have
your brain scanned, okay?

I'm so tired.

Mm.

- All right, Mollie. You on it?
- Yeah.

Do you really think
it's a stroke?

It could be, but we're just
not gonna take any chances.

We're gonna run every test,
all right?

So we're not panicking?

No, we're not.

I'll let you know
if we get there.

Thanks, T.C.

He's... he's not ready
to lose her.

You never are.

Okay.

Your pain could be
from appendicitis,

so I've called
for a surgical consult.

What about, uh, kidney stones?

I get them all the time
from the F.O.P.

I'm gonna check for that, too,

but we really don't want
to miss an appy.

Um, actually, can we
place a pulse ox instead?

- Okay.
- Even pressure from a B.P. cuff

can cause bone growth.

Scott.
This is Dylan.

He has F.O.P.,
which causes spontaneous...

I'm familiar with F.O.P.

- Hey, Dylan. I'm Dr. Clemmens.
- Hey.

Dylan presents with a few hours
of lower-right-quadrant pain.

So I wanted a consult
for appendicitis.

Okay.

All right, Dylan.

Does this hurt here?

More like here
and all the way to my back.

What do you think?
C.T.?

I think you should have
checked an ultrasound

and called a urologist.

It sounds
more like kidney stones.

Looks like you called it, Dylan.

He's spiking a fever...
102.5.

Okay, if it is kidney stones,
they could be infected,

so let's get a u.A.
And send off a urine culture.

Yes, doctor.

If it is the kidney stones
that are causing his fever...

Yeah, I know...
Surgery.

And with F.O.P.,
that could kill him.

Thank you, Dr. Clemmens.

Okay, these sutures should hold
till we get to the hospital.

Brianna's inhalers.

Did you get them?
They were in the car.

We'll radio the ambulance
and have them check.

Tell them that she needs them.

She has cystic fibrosis.

Okay, I'll let them know.

She seems like a good kid.
Pretty cool under pressure.

That's her.
She's the best.

She's so smart, I can
hardly keep up with her.

How long has she
been living with you?

Six months.

But I knew within a week
that I was gonna adopt her.

We connected
right from the start.

Okay, the ambulance
has the inhalers.

I'll check on her personally

as soon as
we get to the hospital.

Thank god she's okay.

Listen.
Promise me.

Promise me that you are
gonna take care of her.

She acts tough,
but she's just a kid.

I'll do everything I can.

I feel like I'm floating.

Glad to see
the pain meds are kicking in.

Best part of being here.
Hospitals have the good stuff.

You spend a lot of time
in hospitals?

Yeah, since I was 13.

At first, the doctors
thought I had a tumor.

They went in, operated.

Actually caused the tissue
around the site

to lock into bone.

Then, when I was a teenager,

I messed up my shoulder
pretty good.

Yeah? What happened?

I was an idiot.
I tried skateboarding.

Guess I was tired of hearing
I was an inspiration

just for putting my pants on
in the morning.

Didn't want to be
the disability mascot anymore.

So that's a "no" to the, uh,
inspirational speech

in the children's ward?

Mm, hard pass.

Just making sure.

Okay, thank you.

Leave it on the table
just in case.

Guys,
this is Dr. park.

I've asked him in
for a urology consult.

Oh, great!

I'm just going to take a look.

Fascinating.

I've never seen this
in real life.

The stone's causing moderate
to severe hydronephrosis.

With the infection,
he needs surgery right away.

No.
Excuse me?

I'm not doing surgery.

Been there, done that.
I'm not into it.

Okay, I think
what Dylan is trying to say

is that he would like to avoid
the risk of anesthesia.

Not to mention the potential
permanent calcification

of his urinary tract.

Yeah, I for sure
don't want that.

None of that matters
if he gets septic and dies.

Endoscopic surgery
will minimize bone growth.

Okay, there has to be
other options besides surgery.

I mean,
can we at least consider...

You wanted my opinion.
You have it.

Surgery now, unless you want
to risk sepsis and death.

I'm not sure
we're quite there yet.

What about...
Lithotripsy with antibiotics?

We use the sound waves
to break up the kidney stone,

and maybe those smaller pieces
pass on their own.

That sounds good to me.

We're wasting time.
His infection's only getting worse.

I'm gonna let the O.R. know
that we're coming.

Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa.
No.

Okay. Dr. park,
can I speak with you outside?

Okay, he wants lithotripsy.
Why can't we at least try it?

You want me to sit here
for a few hours

and wait
until he's really unstable

and then take him
to the O.R.?

If the lithotripsy works,

maybe he never
even needs the O.R.

The patient wants it,
his pressure's stable.

Let's try it.

Fine, but his chart will reflect
my recommendation...

Surgery.

Yeah.

Thank you for backing me up.

I was backing Dylan up.
He wants the lithotripsy.

So go ahead and get him prepped,
and I'll run the machine.

I'll let him know.

You just made his night.

Whoa. You guys
wear enough layers?

This machine uses sound waves to
help break up the kidney stone.

It's much more likely
you'll pass the pieces

than one big stone.

In other words,
I'm gonna pee out some rocks.

That's one way
of putting it, yeah.

Jordan, thanks for not
going all end-of-times on me

with that other doctor.

Yeah, he was a bit of a...

He was a dick.

Yeah.

Okay, here we go.

Oh.

Oh, come on.

What's happening?

This thing needs
a complete reboot.

Call the company.
Tell them to send a tech.

Let me know when it's all fixed.

Okay.

Well, that blows.
Now what?

We get it fixed.

And if not, surgery, right?

Don't worry.
We'll get it fixed.

Okay?

Okay.

Incoming!

Scott, we need the O.R.

Estimated blood loss?
At least 3 liters.

I put in some sutures
to slow the bleeding.

O.R. 1 is prepped
and ready to go.

I'm not liking mom's odds.

I'm gonna call
the social worker.

Good thinking.
I'll be in with Brianna.

Tee, I got another one coming
in... asked for you by name.

You want it?

Yeah, just while Toph
is in C.T.

When those labs are back,
will you call me?

You got it.

Oh.
Congratulations, Kenny.

Congratulations on what?

Yeah, I need your case manager.

So, I know it's not the most
comfortable thing in the world,

but the splint
will help your fracture heal.

What's going on
with my foster mom?

Is she gonna be okay?

We got our top doctors
working on her.

So as soon as I know more,
I'll let you know.

I promise.

Now, in the meantime,
Nina, your social worker,

is gonna come hang out with you.

Oh. Okay.

What's that? What...
You don't like her?

No, I do.
She's pretty badass.

But you wouldn't be calling her

unless it was bad news
about my foster mom.

She always gets called in
when it's bad news.

Well, that's not true.

I mean, that's not the reason
we called her.

She's just got to know
what's going on, right?

So you're saying my foster mom
isn't going to die?

I'm saying that we don't know...
Anything yet.

So we just got to
give those doctors some time.

Okay?

"The lion, the witch,
and the wardrobe."

I love this book.

So, what part are you at?

I'm not at a part.

You just started reading it?

Nice.

No, I've read it before...
Like, a lot.

It's pretty much
my favorite book.

It's pretty much
my favorite book.

I know what you're doing.

You're just trying to distract
me until Nina gets here.

You don't have to.

What if I want to?

You ever think of that,
miss smarty pants?

So, let's talk about it.

- First off...
- Edmund.

I bet you like him
the least, right?

Don't get me started.

What if it's a dissection?

Heart failure?

I know she's tough,
but... Open-heart surgery?

Here. Come here.

You're driving yourself crazy.

Okay, you can't let yourself
go there

until we have the results back.

I complain about her constantly.

I'm always short with her.

She can't work the computer
b-because she's old.

I should be more patient
with her.

I just...
I-i-i had to go to work.

Hey.
I couldn't...

We brought her into our home,

and it was an adjustment,
but we've done it.

And you are an amazing son.

Don't beat yourself up
over the little things.

But what if, Janet?

What if... My last chance
to say something nice to her

already happened?

All I did was be short with her
this afternoon.

What am I gonna do if my mom dies tonight?

Hey. Clive.
What's... what's the matter?

Fainted at the casino.

Chest pains.
B.P.'s sky-high.

She's exaggerating, T.C.

Just a little winded.

Good to see you, though.

I had her call ahead so I can
get the v.I.P. Treatment.

'Course you did.

Yo, tee.

Mama Topher's test results
are in.

Okay, great.

Uh, curtain 2.
Get some bilateral pressures.

Clive, we will fix you right up.

Enjoy.

You know, I fought
the communists in nam.

Mm. You know,
I wasn't even born then.

Really?

All normal.

But you know Topher. He's
insisting we run them again.

Right. Okay.

The minute they're out of C.T.,
let me know.

You got it.

Kenny, congrats.

Hey, for what?

Oh, c... is somebody
playing a joke? Come on.

Yeah, that's right...
I did call 10 minutes ago,

and I'm gonna keep calling

until I hear
from Brianna Holt's caseworker.

No, you listen to me.

You get someone here now,
because this young girl

shouldn't have to
go through this alone.

Get... Someone... Here.

Suction, Paul.

Left four messages.
They're not answering the 800 number.

I also checked the nurse
message boards, but nothing.

Okay, thank you, Jocelyn.

Yeah.

Guess it is looking
more like surgery.

Oh, well. What guy doesn't want
a petrified pubic area?

Hey. We're not
giving up, okay?

We may not have a choice.

This is starting to really hurt.

Okay, I can give you something
for the pain.

Is there anything else
that you need

before I try calling again?

My sanity back?

Every time
I'm back in the hospital,

it's like a constant cycle of
"should" going through my head.

"Should have been more careful.
"Should have had more water.

"Should have ordered the salad

instead of
the five-alarm chili."

Buddy, you got to give yourself
a break, all right?

You can't second-guess yourself
this much.

Trust me, I have spent
half my life doing it,

and that way, madness lies.

All right.

I'm gonna see if there's
another number that I can...

Call.

Son of a bitch.

Pressler pharmaceuticals
makes this machine.

Well, great.

If that question
comes up on "jeopardy!"

I'm gonna be sure to remember it.

Thank you.
No, no, no.

I-I think I know somebody

who might be able to help us.

Okay.
Sorry about the wait.

Labs are slow today.

How you been, old man?

Last time I saw you, you gave me
three to six months to live.

And let me tell you,
I've been living.

Well, that's what you wanted.

So, uh, you've been taking
care of yourself, right?

Taking those meds
we talked about?

You know, that nitro patch
you gave me

is giving me headaches.

Anything you can do about it?

Yeah.
Let me get a look.

Maybe I can cut it down in size.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't see anything, man.

It was there this afternoon.
I saw it.

Okay. I'll look.
Maybe it fell off.

You know, not wearing it

is probably what brought
your blood pressure up,

and that's what's caused
your chest pains.

Oh.
I'll order you a new one.

In the meantime,
I want to keep you here

under observation
on a heart monitor, okay?

Thank you.
I owe you one.

Don't mention it.
Just doing my job.

No, you know that broad
you introduced me to... sumei?

Uh-huh.

Well, she and I are becoming
intimately acquainted.

I tell you...
She's one hell of a gal.

Wow.
Oh, yeah.

Okay, so, you two
have been, uh...

We're seeing each other.

Just this afternoon, we...

Hold on.
What?

You saw Mrs. Zia
this afternoon?

Mm-hmm.
How did she seem to you?

Because she came in tonight.
She was a little altered.

Sumei?
She was fine.

What's wrong with her?

You didn't notice any dizziness,
shortness of breath?

Okay.

What?
Son of a bitch.

I know what's going on.

What?

Topher!

Nitroglycerine patch.

What?

Check her for a nitro patch.

Well, why would she have a...

Just... just check her.

Ma, can you roll to your side?

- Janet, can you give me a hand?
- Oh, yeah.

There is something down there.

Hmm?

Yeah, that's a nitro patch.

Ma?
Hmm?

Where did this come from?

This is probably what's been
causing your symptoms.

Uh, Toph, you got a second?

Right.

What the hell, man?

How did you...
How did you...

So, the good news
is that your mom is fine, right?

Her symptoms are
all from the patch.

Right.

The bad news...
At least for you...

Is, um...

Your mom's having sex.

What?

Yeah, with clive.

Who's clive?

Remember the old dude
from the casino?

He just told me
that he and your mom are dating.

Yeah, he came in today
complaining of chest pains,

and it's 'cause
his nitro patch fell off.

So it must have
rubbed off on your mom

while they were doing it.

No, stop. That's way too much
for me to take in right now.

You got a visual?
In your head?

Yeah, okay. Let's not
have a discussion about it.

Good job, Mrs. Toph.

Mm.

- Stop. S-s-stop laughing.
- What?

Hey, it's...
It's not looking good.

So she's not gonna make it?

You know, she came in
with massive injuries.

I know. It's just...

She has this foster daughter,

and she was just
so concerned about her.

You could tell how much
she really loves her.

A foster mom.

So if she
doesn't make it, then...

Then the girl goes
back in the system.

She was so close
to having a family,

and it all just
gets taken from her.

It's not fair.

You got to do everything
you can to save her mom, Paul.

Promise me?

We'll do our best.

Do more than your best!

Please.

You don't know what it's like.

You're moved from home to home.
Nothing is ever your own.

And then, just when you finally
get used to someone,

you finally are shown
some kindness in your life,

it's all just taken away.

Shannon.

Was...
Was that your life?

Paul, transfusion's done.

We're ready.

Fight for her, Paul.

That little girl
can't be alone again.

Brianna.

How's the chest p.T.
Working?

Feeling better?

Yeah. I'm all right.

Well,
your x-rays came back,

and you have a small area
of pneumonia.

That's what's been
making the breathing harder,

but you just got to
take this medication

and some antibiotics.

Should make
the breathing easier.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Edmund's such a turd...

Giving up his family like that.

He's a turd?

I guess you could
call him a jerk.

Hmm.

You know, I don't get
why you love him so much.

I wouldn't say "love."

Yeah, when he first
gets to narnia,

he ruins everything.

That's the Edmund
I want to punch in the teeth,

but in the end, what does he do?

He helps his family
kill the white witch.

He changes.

And I think that's
what makes Edmund not a turd.

I think that's pretty cool.
Don't you?

No.

Okay.

He has no idea how lucky he is.

I mean, every kid
wants to go to narnia.

When I go to a new foster house,

I always check
all the closets...

Just in case.

Do you?

I've spent some time in closets.

I bet they don't have
breathing treatments in narnia.

No one's ever sick there.

Drew?
Do you have a minute?

Yeah.

Uh, I'll be right back.

- It's been 10 minutes.
- All right.

Doctors Alister and Rivera,

this is Brianna's social worker,
Nina Alvarez.

She finally made it.

Hey, robonurse,
I have seen 10 kids tonight

and still need to check
on another 10 before sunrise,

so watch your mouth.

Sorry. Just calling it
like it is.

No, hey. He didn't
mean it that way.

We've all just taken to Brianna.

Kenny's just being protective.

Good.
She deserves it.

I mean, all these cases suck,
but I admit she's special.

So, where we at?

Uh, well, I just diagnosed
Brianna with pneumonia.

I think some oral antibiotics,
she'll be fine.

How are her oxygen levels?

They're okay.
That's good.

How's Avery doing?

She's not gonna make it.

Does Brianna know?

We didn't want to say anything
until we knew for sure.

We're worried
she's gonna shut down,

losing someone else.

Okay.

Look, the longer we wait,

the harder
it's gonna be for her.

Brianna doesn't trust
a lot of people.

We need to be honest with her.

Hey, Kenny.

Congratulations!

Okay, what's going on?

Jessica. Hi.

Thank you so much for coming in.

I really owe you one.

You owe her two.

Pat. Dude. Really?

Someone's life is on the line.

Just do your job.

Whatever.

Where are we going?

Upstairs.

Sorry.

I got to say, I mean, I didn't
expect you to come in, you know?

I called you
at 2:00 in the morning.

I figured
you'd just send someone.

You can always call me.
Thank you.

Yeah, doctors aren't my clients.
Patients are.

If they need me, I get out of bed.

T-that's what you look like
when you get out of bed?

Oh.

Ma.

I, uh, need to take you
back to your room.

You said yourself...
I'm fine.

I said your blood pressure
was stabilizing.

It's not necessarily fine.
We still need to monitor you.

And he needs his rest.

Hey, clive, I have, uh,
the blood-test results.

You want some privacy?

Anything you can say
in front of me,

you can say in front of sumei.

Okay.

Um, unfortunately,
they're not great.

You had
another small heart attack.

And, as I said before,

your next one
could be your last.

Clive, you never said
you have...

No, I was just trying
to keep things light.

You don't need
to hear about heart attacks.

He elected to turn down
open-heart surgery

'cause it's too dangerous.

If I'd have let them open me up,

I could have died
before we ever went to dinner.

And there's nothing you can do?

I'm sorry, Mrs. Zia.
The situation remains the same.

He could die on the table.
His heart is very weak.

That's not the clive I know.

The clive I know
goes all-in for what he wants.

Don't badger him, mom.
He's made up his mind.

We'll let you rest.

Good. You can go.

Sumei can stay.

Coffee?

Oh, thank you.
Yeah.

How much longer?

Your guy said it'll be
up and running in 10 to 15.

Mm.
Mmm!

Oh, wow. This is not
cafeteria coffee.

Where did you get this?

I have a guy.

Of course you do.

Ow. Tinder.

Uh, no. Bumble.
Oh.

I am very much done with tinder.

Not that it makes much of a difference.

It kind of makes me regret
breaking up with my fireman Sam.

You know?
Grass is always greener.

Well, sometimes
when you're dating,

the grass feels like
it's all burnt and barren.

Seriously.

Last thing you probably want

is advice from the chick
screwing your ex.

Sorry.

It's okay. Really.

Maybe it's because
I'm feeling better,

or maybe it's because
I like you.

Oh, cool.

Or maybe it's just because

you guys look
like you're actually happy.

Yeah. We are.

That's good.

Okay, cards on the table?
Please.

Okay, I think maybe it's easier
with him and me

than it was with you guys

just because we aren't really
strangled by a past.

I guess it frees us up
to... Have fun.

Whatever it is,
it's a good look on him.

I like seeing him happy.

Oh.
Oh.

Dylan? It's okay,
I'm right here.

I feel kind of...

Hang in there, Dylan.
Kind of...

Okay, pressure's dropping.
Hang levophed.

His pulse is weak.

Okay, he's septic.

I need you to page Dr. park and
tell him to meet us at the O.R.

We got to get
these kidney stones out now.

No, she's not.

She's gonna be fine 'cause...
'cause we can do something.

Can't we do anything?

I wish we could.

But I-i just saw her.

She was... she was fine.
She...

Can I see her?

Just to say goodbye.

I called time of death
10 minutes ago.

If the board found out
about that, they would fry us.

Dr. Clemmens, Brianna
already feels responsible

for Avery's death.

And kids like this...
They don't have much.

To lose the one person...
The one thing in their life...

It's devastating.

I promise
it will make a difference.

As her social worker,
I'm signing off on this.

She needs closure.

Excuse me. Dr. Clemmens,
Jordan needs you.

Her patient is headed
to the O.R.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Look, I have to go.

I-I can do it.

Keep coding her, make it look
like she's still alive.

No, Paul. I'm not putting you
in that position.

You're not putting me there.
I am.

It's my decision.

It's important to me.

Okay.

Okay.

If we had operated
four hours ago,

he wouldn't be crashing now.

Hey, I'm the one
who could die on the table.

Dr. Alexander was
listening to my wishes.

What happened?

He's septic.
Pressure's dropping.

We're heading
into the O.R. now.

Lithotripsy didn't work?

We didn't get a chance
to try it.

It wasn't repaired in time.

It's still an option?

Dylan,
your pressure is very low.

It's getting dangerous
to not operate.

Could we still try?
Yes, we can.

It's risky, but it could work.

That's insane.

You need surgery.

We still have time.

If it doesn't work,
he's all yours.

I'll be waiting.
Okay.

Is this crazy?

I've heard crazier ideas
tonight.

Sometimes a hail Mary works.

Jordan?

If you need to trust someone,
Dr. Clemmens is your guy.

Okay.
Here we go.

Okay.

Thanks for, uh,
holding down the fort, Kenny.

I've been
a little distracted tonight.

No doubt.

I heard your mom's
getting some action.

You told him?!

No. No, I didn't.
I didn't say anything.

I heard it
from ray, the orderly.

And the C.T. department.

And the blood lab.

Is there any privacy
in this place?

Oh, hey.
Congratulations.

For what?

I'm proud of you.

What? Why does
everybody keep...

Joss. Joss.

Come on, tell me...
What's going on?

Okay, fine.

We nominated you
as our new union rep.

You won
by a 15-0 vote.

You're kidding me.

I never kid about the union.

But I...
I don't want that job.

Then you probably shouldn't have
skipped the election meeting.

Don't worry.

I'll make it up to you.

Mm-hmm!

Uh, what's all this?

We talked it over.

I can't give up
on the love of my life.

I'm rolling the dice.

I'll be right here
when you wake up.

I'm counting the minutes.

It won't be long.

You have the best doctor
in this dump.

My son won't let you die.

Mm.

You guys are too much.

Hey, ma?
Why'd you say that?

You know I'm not operating.

I'm not an idiot.

I'm giving him hope.

Think of it as
blowing on his dice for luck.

I'm not going anywhere near that one.
No.

Now, take me down
to the cafeteria.

I want to peruse
the jello selection.

Oh...

What? Don't look at me.
I have to leave.

Someone's got to get our kids
ready for school.

Mm. Bye.

Jello?

Okay.

We have that.

You can say
whatever you need to.

Why does she look like that?

Can she even hear me?

She can.

Avery...

I love you.

And I'll never forget you.

You're the best mom
anybody could ever ask for.

Please...

I can't.
I don't want to say goodbye.

Please don't make me!
I don't want...

I'll go get her.

Well, that was an epic fail.

I don't think so.

It was hard for her, obviously,

but she would always regret
not doing it.

So, how long
were you in the system?

That obvious?

To someone who spends 80 hours
a week working in it, yeah.

Too long.

Hey, you need to take a couple
puffs from your inhaler.

How'd you find me?

I checked
every closet on the floor.

I knew you'd be in one of them.

Yeah, well, I'm still here.

No forest in this one.

No.
That's the bad part.

There never is.

I know there's nothing
in the world I can say right now

to make you feel any better.

So I'm just gonna
sit here with you.

What am I gonna do without her?

I don't know.

Nina.

Hey, I just got a text
from drew.

Uh, Brianna's all right.

Yes, I heard.

Thank you.

Can I get you something?

Yeah, you got a time machine?

I could use one of those myself.

Yeah?
Where would you go?

August 6, 2001,
7:14 A.M.

Wow.

What happened then?

Just some old football thing.
What about you?

10 hours ago.

Get Avery off the road.
Then Brianna wouldn't be alone.

She's not alone.
She has you.

Right.

Except she will be.

I'm a caseworker.

Like I said earlier,
I've got 25 kids,

and she needs parents...
A permanent home.

Jesus.

But right now, she just needs
a place for tonight.

She can't stay with you?

It doesn't work that fast.

Besides, I've already got
two foster kids at home

with me and my parents now.

No room at the inn.

What if...
What if she stayed here?

I mean, pneumonia's
grounds for admission.

Her oxygen levels are fine.

I mean, it's mild...
At very worst, moderate.

Not if one of the doctors thinks
she'd benefit from admission.

Huh?

And I know three

who are looking to help
in any way they can.

So, how close
would you say we were?

Let's just say it's good you
passed that stone when you did.

Some high-stakes pee.

Hey, Jocelyn. Could you
take Dylan to recovery?

Whoa, wait.
W-we're done? That's it?

Yeah.

I was kind of feeling like
we were like

the three musketeers there
or something for a second,

you know?

All for one, right?

We make a good team.

Yeah. We do.

All right, I'll check in on you
later, okay?

Okay.
All right, buddy.

All right.
Bye, guys.

So long, docs.

Hi, Jocelyn.
How you feeling?

Funny guy.
Yeah.

Jordan, can we start over?

At least from, like,
two weeks ago?

Mm. You mean when I opened
my big mouth about Annie?

And when I acted
like a dick to you.

I'm not gonna lie...
I think part of me

wanted to rub your face in it
a little bit.

The way I felt
when you and T.C...

Scott, I never wanted
to make you feel like...

No, no, I know.
I know.

But seeing you two together...

It still hurt.

Mm.

Well, maybe going back two weeks
isn't going to be enough.

It'll have to be.

I do care about Annie.

And I know you guys
have history. I know that.

But I don't have
that same baggage with her.

So... It works for us.

Yeah.

Well, I am learning
that I have a lot more baggage

than I realized, so...

Yeah, well, we all do.

It's what you do with it
that counts, I guess.

Yeah.

All right.

I'll see you around.

Bye, Scott.

Thank you for admitting her.

I know it's not ideal,

but it's better than
a temporary housing situation.

And we'll take good care of her

until you find
the right home for her.

Uh, could you give this to her?

Oh. She'll kill me
if I don't.

Yeah.

What are you doing?

Writing in my phone number
so she can reach me

any time she needs to.

Okay, you put your number
in there, you better mean it.

She calls you, you pick up.

She doesn't need
any more disappointment.

I'll pick up.

And I'll check on her
every day that she's here.

Hey, ma.

Still nothing?

No, not yet.

Um...

Hey, ma,
I'm... I'm... I'm sorry

for stepping in
between you and clive.

That wasn't my place.

And, um, I'm sorry
for getting annoyed with you

and...
Being short with you.

It's okay.

You're family.

You're allowed. Hmm?

Earlier tonight,

I thought...
I thought I was losing you.

I know you did.

But you're not
getting rid of me that easy.

You know, your grandmother
made it to 97.

And I plan to outlive her.

Um...
Okay.

I wanted to tell you
in person...

Clive's out of surgery.

He's awake.
You can see him now.

Thank you.

Thanks, Paul.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You know you don't have to come
every time my ex calls, right?

How about, "thanks for
saving a patient's life"?

Well, I guess
I could have led with that.

I'm just messing with you.

I didn't come
because Jordan called me.

I came to help a patient.

There's a reason
I don't work at a bank.

Speaking of which,
I got to go... get some sleep.

Ohh. Can I come?

No, I actually need sleep.

Mm, no.

I have a really big
job interview in a few hours.

Yeah? For what?

Unh-unh. Nope.
Not gonna jinx it.

Okay.

Mmm.

Good luck.
Yeah.

Hey. Heard it all worked out...
For now.

Yeah... for now.

Thank you.

You got it.

Uh...

You know, um,
I pretty much work nonstop,

live with my parents,
take care of two foster kids,

so it's not exactly the sexiest
lifestyle a woman could have.

Um...

But if you ever wanted to
get together for a coffee or...

Oh. Um...

Ooh! Okay.

Wow. Well, maybe I shouldn't
have said anything.

But I'm not very good
at not saying anything.

You just, um...

You seem like a really good guy,

and I don't meet a lot
of good guys in my line of work.

Hey, well,
today's your lucky day.

Ball's in your court.

I didn't...
She just...

I saw.

Look, I know we're just
doing whatever, and it's cool.

I mean, if you want to go out
with her, I get it.

Just let me know first, Kenny.

I don't want to hear about
your sex life from Mollie.

Yo.

You okay?

Yeah, I am now.

Thanks for tonight.

You saved my mom.

Anytime.
You know that.

I do have
one more question, though.

What's that?

Are you gonna start
calling clive "dad" now?

Shut up.

Daddy. Pops. Pop-pops.

I don't want to hear it!

Is he gonna stay over?
In the same bed?

What are you gonna do if you start
hearing them through the wall?

Uh... Toph.

I can't hear you!

I-I can't hear you!

I don't have any change!

Hey.

Thanks for all your help
tonight...

For stepping up like that.

Oh. Uh, please.

Anything for a kid, you know?

And, I, uh... I knew
it was important to you.

Get in.

In... in there?

- So... What did you... what did you want...
- Shut up, Paul.
