I spilled some pills and didn't take all my medication.

You know, I think that I'm all set.

Thank you. It was so nice to meet you.

It was really nice to meet you, Dr. Charles.

So in my opinion, Mrs. Barlow is competent and definitely a bit of a charmer.

One who's not taking her meds or eating properly.

Not suicidal.

Not depressed as far as I can tell.

I mean, what she is, is she's nostalgic for a more refined culture... which is a far cry from eating cat food.

She told you she was eating cat food?

Look at her blood work.

Raised taurine level. That's the telltale sign.

I thought she was lying about eating regularly, but cat food?

Mm-hmm, this happens when money's tight.

You know, elderly woman. Fixed income.

She'd be way too embarrassed to say anything.

What about dropping her pills in the toilet?

You think that's a lie too?

Oxycodone, sildenafil, benzos all have a very high street value, buddy.

You think this sweet old lady's selling them to get money?

Now, would you prefer that I call you Ms. Goodwin or Sharon?

Oh, Sharon is fine.

Sharon, before we go any further, are you sure that you don't want to try to reconcile?

While legal separation is not a divorce, it is a big step down that road.

We're past trying to reconcile.

I know we talked a little bit about this on the phone, but pending court approval, you and your spouse are agreeing to live independent of each other, both financially and physically.

Which we have been for months.

Illinois law allows a spouse who is without fault to receive reasonable support and maintenance while parties are living apart.

We would need to ask the court to determine that amount.

You know, I really appreciate you're trying to help, but the timing is just all wrong.

Phoebe is scared enough just being here.

I can't add stress to her right now.

Hi.

So after I observed the weakness in Phoebe's hand, I ran some tests on the blood work we took, and the results showed an explanation for her hearing loss.

She has a genetic condition called osteopetrosis.

What?

It's a bone disease that can cause progressive hearing loss.

It also explains the carpal tunnel that's causing weakness in her wrists.

But I don't have it, and neither does her father.

It just means that you and her father are both genetic carriers.

Is she gonna be deaf?

Not necessarily.

We've had some success in treating the condition with bone marrow transplants.

Okay.

What aren't you telling me?

Osteopetrosis makes bones abnormally dense and prone to breakage, which explains her skull fractures.

Mom!

She thought she was doing the right thing.

She risked everything and lost everything to get her daughter out of harm's way, and we're sending her to jail.

I understand why she did it, but couldn't she have had a doctor evaluate Phoebe before going on the run?

She messed up so many lives.

Yeah, but... it still feels wrong.

I know.

So this was all just about keeping up with the Joneses.

It was a good catch, Dr. Choi.

A new one for me.

Pride.

It can literally k*ll you.

I guess sometimes that's all we have left, right?

[laughs]

Someone's happy.

Ignacio is going to make it.

Yes!

We did that.

Man, you really stepped up today.

You impressed me out there.

Hold up. Is... is that a compliment?

'Cause as I remember it, you were like, "Don't you even think about putting in that chest tube."

Yeah, you know what? I was proud of you, and now you're just being a d*ck.

Bye-bye.

[laughs]

Nothing, Mom.

I just wanted to say thanks for the check.

No, I-I appreciate it, Mom.

I appreciate everything.

All right, bye.

Seriously?

I thought you were pissed off at her.

Yeah, I was.

I mean, you know, she wasn't... She's wasn't a great mom, but she tried her best. I realize that.

Okay.

Anyway, I've got all this money, so where do you want to eat?

I hear there's this great place uptown with a lobster mac to die for.

All right.

Rough day?

You could say that.

Yeah.

Wait. I thought you had a win today?

Only thing I did right today was double-time some heavy stuff across the city.

Same thing any grunt could do in basic.

Jeff... whatever you did it, it saved a life.

That's something.

Come in.

Hey, I just thought you might like to know that Dr. Halstead's bypass patient, he's doing well.

Oh, good.

So now you can finish your marathon shift.

[chuckles]

Go home, Dr. Rhodes. Put your feet up.

Oh, actually I had something a little different in mind.

[laughs softly]

What about you?

Just gonna go home.

Okay.

You know, this place I'm going, it's...

It's pretty fun.

Maybe you want to join me?

"Officially" is a bit of a stretch.

Hold that thought.

Doesn't get more official than this.

Ah.

Now, this is different.

Dr. Downey loved this place.

He said it was as close as you could get to the real thing.

Aloha.

Oh.

Oh, thank you.

It's real.

Mrs. Goodwin, this is Keoni. He owns this place.

Pleasure's all mine, and it's good to see you, brah.

It's good to see you too.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

Do you know what "aloha" means?

Isn't that what they say when you get off the plane?

I thought it meant "welcome."

[laughs]

No?

Not exactly.

Okay.

"Aloha" actually means "to consciously manifest life joyously in the present."

Hmm.

Well, in that case... aloha.
