Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Royal Pains...

We have to cancel the wedding.

What are you saying?

I kind of miss that guy... it's weird.

Again, Evan... I have not spoken
with Raj since our quarantine.

Cyberchondriosis, how can it
not upset me, that sounds awful.

Cyberchondriosis is an obsession
with researching health online.

- That's it?
- Hi. I need to get

the number to the Long Island
Blood Bank in West Islip.

I already phoned them, miss Casey.

[Glass shatters]

[Gasps]

I just got some really bad news.

Is it medical in nature?

Unfortunately.

I'm gonna be frank with you, son.

You are not Paige Collins material.

- I'm not?
- As soon as we get home,

I am going straight to the safe deposit box

and getting mom's ring,
so you can propose to Paige.

Hi, honey.
Hope you're having fun at camp.

I can't wait to see you tomorrow.

I will pick you up at the airport.

Love you.

Oh, and don't forget to call your mom.

[Indistinct chatter, woman giggles]

[Giggles]

- Hey, babe.
- Oh, hi.

Mmm.
[Giggles]

- Marco.
- Ciao, Anna.

[Speaking italian]

[Giggles]

Oh, uh, he says it's nice to see you.

Why is Marco smoking around us?

Why is he even here?

I told you I would help you
with this today.

I know you have work to do, and... ah!

[Gasps]
Ooh.

Okay, don't... stay calm. Don't freak out.

- You need a tetanus sh*t...
- No.

...and stitches. I'm calling a doctor.

Don't freak out.

Don't freak out.

I'm okay.

Then after I swing by Divya's,

I'll head back out to wind meadows.

You're gonna drive all
the way back out to that farm

- just to remove some sutures?
- Yeah.

No, that's crazy. If she lives outside

the Hankmed zone, she should come to us

or pay a roaming charge or something.

She's a patient, not a text message.

- Oh, my...
- And her daughter's our friend.

I'm going to her.
[Footsteps approaching]

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

[Exhales deeply]
Wow.

I'm really doing this.

Wow. You're really doing this.

[Chuckles]

Huh.

It's kind of smaller than I remember.

When we were smaller...

it probably seemed bigger.

I just wonder if it's beautiful enough.

Evan...

It's beautiful.

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

It's off the market. Congratulations.

Thank you.

- All right, there you go.
- Thank you.

Thank you for doing this,
especially today.

I know that you're trying
to catch up with everything

after being away.

Thank you for holding down the fort

while Evan and I were in Florida,

for taking care of Marissa,
the baby, Jill.

Who seems to be doing better.

Yeah, I think she's still processing it.

- Mm.
- So...

how does it feel to be a first-time renter?

Good. I'm just still embarrassed

that you had to cosign my lease.

Just don't throw any wild parties, now.

Don't worry. I can't afford to.

I have to be frugal now,
cut back on many luxuries...

- Like eating.
- Hmm.

Anybody home?

Elyse? Anna?

- Back here in the kitchen.
- Ah.

Wow.

Looks like somebody went crazy at Costco.

[Chuckles]

Actually, we use fruit punch
powder to dye alpaca hair.

Huh.

And you should see what we drink.

- Hi!
- Hey, Libby.

- It's so good to see you.
- You too.

- How's your summer going?
- It's been great.

Uh, not really
as good as Tucker's, but...

Yeah, well, it's hard to top

a photo safari in Africa with your dad.

Did you see those pictures
he uploaded last week?

Yeah, they were pretty incredible.

My mom thinks he could be
a professional photographer.

She's probably right.
Where is our favorite farmer?

- Out back unloading hay.
- Arm's not slowing her down?

Death won't slow Elyse down.
She's very goal-oriented.

[Chuckles]
Anna, honey,

I thought I told you
to cancel the appointment.

Today's not good.
I have two newborn lambs

- that need to be...
- Mom, hi.

Uh, Hank drove all the way
out here to see you.

[Chuckles]

- I'm sorry.
- Elyse...

This will just take a few seconds.

[Clears throat]

So I get out of the hot tub,
and I'm naked,

- which is normal, right?
- Yeah.

- It's a hot tub, right?
- Right.

That's what I told him. God.

Anyway, so Hank looks
at my ass... that's not normal.

- Not so much.
- He sees my b*llet wound,

and he diagnoses this patient
with lead poisoning.

Okay, Evan, I can't believe
you didn't tell me this

as soon as you got back.

- I know. I couldn't.
- Why?

- You tell me everything.
- It was too humiliating.

You have all four seasons
of Saved By The Bell on DVD.

Look... Oh, my God!

[Giggles]
You remember?

It looks just like
the one we took pictures in

on our first date ever.

Oh, technically, it wasn't a first date,

since I was paying you.

Yeah, but it was
the first time we ever kissed.

- Again, technically...
- Just come on.

[Horn honking]
Okay, okay.

Here we go. All right, get in there.

[Giggles]

Just don't make goofy faces this time.

I didn't make goofy faces last time.

Oh, my bad. [Camera shutter clicks]

- Okay, um, listen, Paige...
- Yeah?

I've waited my whole life

to find a girl
I love as much as I love you.

Evan, that's so sweet.
[Camera shutter clicks]

- Okay, stop talking.
- Why?

'Cause I only have two flashes left.

Hold on.

[Quickly]
Paige Collins, will you marry me?

[Camera shutter clicks]
Yes!

- Yes?
- Yes!

Yes! Mmm.

[Camera shutter clicks]

It's perfect.

- Do you really like it?
- Evan, I love it.

And it was your mom's.

How could I not love it?

I'm so glad.

So when did you ask my dad?

- People still do that?
- Oh, no.

- You didn't ask him?
- I don't want to marry him.

I want to marry you.
And he hates my guts.

Okay, no, no. He does not hate your guts.

But if he finds out that you asked me

before you asked him if you could ask me,

it's just gonna make
everything so much worse.

He sh*t me in the ass.

How could it get worse?

Okay, look, I know my father.

And with a little bit of planning,

we can get him to see it our way.

I promise.

But in the meantime,

I... [Sighs]

I can't be walking around
with this on my finger,

as much as I want to.

I'm so sorry.

[The Blue Van's Independence]

♪ ♪

♪ My independence went away ♪

♪ I didn't listen when it said ♪

♪ Rely on yourself ♪

♪ Trusting someone else ♪

♪ Is a path for the silent ghost ♪

Should it look like that?

Both: No.

Sorry. I'll let you be the doctor.

It shouldn't take this long
to heal properly.

I mean, you're
a healthy 40-year-old woman.

Are you putting the stitches back?

Uh, no, they're called steri-strips.

I'm not re-suturing it,
because there's a chance

the open laceration is contaminated.

So I want to minimize
the risk of infection.

And it should just heal
on its own, right, Hank?

In another three to five days, yeah.

[Cell phone tune] Oh! Oh, my God.

It's one of my friends from camp.

I'm gonna go Skype, okay, guys?

- Oh, boy.
- Bye!

Bye. [Chuckles]

So, Elyse, is anything else
going on, health-wise?

[Sighs] Not really.

Not really?

Babe, what about the bruises
on your legs?

What bruises?
[Sighs]

- How'd you get these?
- Don't know.

It's a very physical time
of year for me, so...

Uh-huh.

I want to take a blood sample.

[Clears throat]

Okay.

Are your muscles achy?

Part of owning a farm.

Any recent diet changes?

Around here? No, no.

They eat healthy food.
I eat everything else.

Okay, this is gonna pinch a little bit.

Mm.

Okay, what about bad habits?

Does Reality TV count?

No, I meant things like dr*gs, smoking...

Look, I like to have
a glass of wine at dinner,

I'm in a monogamous relationship.

Hank, I'm fine,
and so are my habits, really.

Why do you need to take blood?

It'll help us figure out
why she's not clotting

as well as she should.

Slow-healing wounds
and bruises of an unknown origin

can suggest a number of things.

- Like what?
- It could be some kind

of infection, an autoimmune disease.

We'll see what the tests show.

And for being such a good patient...

[Chuckles] Lollipop.

[Giggles] Uh-uh-uh-uh.

We have to keep
that sweet tooth in check.

All right, let me walk you to your car.

Okay.

Look, I wasn't completely honest
with you about bad habits.

I just didn't want to
say anything in front of Anna,

'cause she doesn't know,
and Libby doesn't know either.

[Indistinct conversation]

[Hank humming]

[Claps]

Well?

- Well...
- What?

She said yes.

That's great! Ev, that's great.

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm sensing a "but."

But I got to get
the general's blessing first.

Wait, wait, wait.
You didn't ask her father?

You knew people still did that?

Why would you not tell me that?

I don't know.
I just assumed you and I lived

in the same society.

Oh, I've been waiting for that one.

- Hey, Div.
- Hi.

Come here.

[Sighs] I need to come up with a speech

to convince the general
that I'm worthy of his daughter.

It has to be my Mona Lisa,
my Sergeant Pepper's,

my Life of Pi.

I need to use impressive words,

like "alacrity" and "capricious."

I have to open my heart

and let that magnificent bastard
look inside.

Would that work
on the general or... anyone?

You're right. A speech
is not gonna work at all.

General Collins strikes me
as a no-nonsense type of guy.

Why not keep it simple, you know?

Just talk about
the things you have in common.

Okay.

The only thing he and I have
in common, though,

is that neither one of us
were raised by wolves.

That's not true.

You have one other thing in common.

What's that?

You both love Paige.

[Footsteps]

[Thunk, footsteps]

[Garbled words]
Wait, please.

Aah!
[Gasping]

It's okay. It's okay.
It's okay. It's okay.

Shh, shh.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

You're just having that nightmare again.

Shh. Shh.
[Crying]

It's okay.

I don't know what I was so worried about.

I mean, it feels great to be independent,

on my own two feet.

So you're all settled in?

I haven't unpacked yet, no.

I had no idea what
moving into a new home entailed.

Well, don't worry.
I got things here covered.

I'm on my way to Elyse's
to get another blood sample.

What happened to the first one?

The lab didn't store it
properly, and it hemolyzed.

- It happens.
- Well, the cable company

gave me a window from 8:00 to 5:00.

But I'm hoping that they'll be
here sooner rather than later,

and then I'll come meet up with you.

Good luck with that.

There.

Okay.

- Hey, handsome.
- Good morning.

Hi.

I'm sorry I kept you up last night.

Oh, stop it. You didn't.

I don't know why
I keep having these nightmares.

You were in an accident.
Now you're reliving the trauma.

I mean, it's part
of the recovery process.

[Inhales deeply]

But, Hank, it feels so real...

Like someone else came up to the car.

Well, um, the paramedics
were there, right?

It's not just the nightmares, Hank.

I'm jumpy every time I get into a car.

Maybe you should talk to someone.

You think it's PTSD?

I think it could develop into that.

I can give you some referrals.

No, it's fine.

I know a few people in that area.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

Mmm. Okay, I'll see you later.

Okay.

[Laughs] Don't worry. They don't bite.

Oh, so they'll just swallow me whole.

- Yeah.
- Cool. Cool.

Excuse me, my dear. Thank you.

So, uh, how long have you
and Elyse been doing this?

- Um, two years.
- Mm.

And we've been together seven.

I was working at this organic craft store

in the village.

- She came in with Libby.
- Mm-hmm.

You think she's cute now, oh, my God.

And Elyse had, like, a thousand questions

- about different products.
- Sounds very enterprising.

Elyse's life experience trumps mine.

She's amazing... a genius, really.

She'll start something,
make it successful

and then start something else.

It's almost intimidating.

Hmm.

Hey.

Oh, Hank. With the amount
of blood you want from me,

I'm surprised to see you out in daylight.

Sorry. I am trying to let
you keep some for yourself.

[Speaking italian]

[Speaking italian]
[Speaking italian]

[Speaking italian]
[Laughs]

- I brought lunch.
- Oh!

Great.

Let's see. Ah.

Too healthy, too healthy,

too healthy, way too healthy,

aha! Some real food.

[Chuckles]

Don't I have the best partner
in the world?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yes.

I don't know what I would do without her.

What or who?

All right, let's give Hank
some blood, okay?

Hank...

You have to take home
some of our alpaca cheese.

It's even better than the cheese
we make from our goats.

Is the, uh... is the milk
you use pasteurized?

- No. Why?
- Well, there are certain types

of diseases that can be transmitted

from animals to humans
by eating infected food products

or even by contact.

I'd like to talk to your vet
about testing your animals.

- She lives just two farms down.
- Great.

Also, I noticed you were limping.

You weren't yesterday.

That's because my legs weren't
hurting as much yesterday.

Uh-huh. Can I take a look, please?

[Sighs]

These bruises should
be healing faster than this.

See how soon your vet can get here.

If my father is secure at all points?

Be prepared for him.

- If he is in superior strength?
- Evade him.

- When you are not expected?
- Appear.

- And when he is unprepared?
- att*ck him!

But with love.

Yes!

Congratulations, soldier.
You are ready for battle.

Oh, finally.

I got you a graduation present.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Does it have a soft top and bucket seats?

It's a galley copy of my
father's upcoming autobiography.

I borrowed it from his safe.

"Never Surrender."

Sounds like an easy read.

I'll read it tonight,
right after 30 Rock.

- It's a rerun.
- I will DVR 30 Rock.

Yeah, you will.

Ah, so I talked to the vet,
and she's going to...

what...

I've been getting
a couple nosebleeds lately.

Elyse, in order to help you,

these are the things
I need to know about.

I didn't realize it was important.

Look, I'm sure it'll stop soon.

- How long's it been bleeding?
- 30 minutes.

That's too long. Please have a seat.

Okay... Okay, let me take a look.

Yep, you've got a ruptured blood vessel.

Okay.

I'm gonna use silver nitrate
to cauterize it.

Okay, here we go.

Okay.

All right, I want you to put
these saline drops

into your nose to keep
your mucus membranes hydrated

and hopefully to prevent future bleeding.

Elyse...

What is it?

I... I've been an overachiever
my entire life.

By the time I was four,
I was already five.

Well, that would make
for a brief childhood.

Both my parents
were successful entrepreneurs,

and they expected... no, they demanded

the same from their only child.

Well, it sure seems like you delivered.

Yeah, but at what cost?

When I'm out here, I'm not even aware

of what's going on in there.

I lose sight of everything.

Well, we all do, you know, at times.

And then your doctor tells you

that there's something wrong with you

and he doesn't know what it is,

and your mind goes to dark places.

The only thing that's important
to me are Libby and Anna,

and I don't think they know that.

You know what? Most people
realize that when it's too late.

You're ahead of the curve...

Right where you like to be.

[Chuckles]

- Well, hey.
- Hey, you.

[Giggles]
Hi.

So...

I heard about the problem
you had with the blood.

Yeah, you should've seen
the look your mom gave me.

Just imagine having two moms.

- I can't.
- To be honest,

when my mom first got with Anna,
it was weird.

Because she was...

- So young.
- Exactly.

- That's... yeah.
- Yeah.

But Anna is more
in tune with my mom and me

- than my father ever was.
- That's great.

Some light summer reading?

Oh, um, it's just a habit
that I picked up at camp.

What kind of camp has you reading

The New England Journal Of Medicine?

- Mini-Med summer camp at Brown.
- Oh, nice.

After everything that you did for Tucker,

it really got me thinking.

I mean, I don't want to just sit around,

like, worrying about
what's gonna happen to him.

I want to understand it.

Tucker's one lucky guy.

I tell him that every day.
[Giggles]

Hello, this is Alexander.

Please leave your phone number,
starting with the area code.

I'm sorry, Alexander,

but I have actually already
punched in my phone number,

so what was the point the first time?

And you know what? If we're
gonna talk about points,

what is the point...
[Knock at door]

...of an appointment?

All right, never mind.
You're here... finally!

Hello, Divya.

Raj.

This is, uh...

Cozy.

Is there more of it?

No.

Please, have a seat anywhere.

Can I make you some tea?

Uh, no, thank you. I... I won't be long.

[Sighs] How are you?
[Chuckles]

I'm great.

- How are you?
- I'm well.

[Chuckles]

But after you called off the wedding,

my parents, as you might imagine,

were... humiliated.

They'd gone to great expense
to fly in dozens of relatives,

arranged a lavish luncheon
for the day after the wedding,

and, of course...

organized the honeymoon.

Okay.

My point is...

they feel entitled to restitution.

Restitution?

[Sighs] An accounting of the
expenses they incurred.

They wanted to hire a lawyer.
I got them to wait.

But they are gonna come after you.

My parents cut me off, Raj.

I can't afford this.

I mean, I can't even afford
the gratuity on this.

I am really sorry for what
your parents have gone through.

But I simply have nothing to offer them.

Actually, uh...

that's not true.

They know that you own 1/3rd of Hankmed.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I got word back from the lab and the vet.

The animals tested negative,

and Elyse's blood work
came back clean, too.

[Scoffs]

A bleeding problem that
doesn't show up in blood work?

- I know.
- I guess it's time

- to bring in a hematologist.
- Do you want me to call Elyse?

No, I think we should head out there.

I had to twist her arm
just to get her to see me.

She's gonna need some convincing.

- Let's do it.
- Hey, Hank...

before we go, can I talk to you?

Of course, what's up?

Is there any world in which you and Evan

would be interested
in buying my share of Hankmed?

Are you... are you leaving Hankmed?

No, no. I'm not going anywhere.

I... I just...

I think it might be
financially prudent for me,

you know, for my future.

Divya, listen...

I was scared the first time
I signed a lease, too.

If you want, Evan can review
your numbers again.

Nope, you are right.

Uh, I am sure that
it's just renter's remorse.

Yeah, renter's remorse.

[Chuckles]
Come on.

Let's go.

Then I hear voices saying something,

but it's garbled.

And I see two men walking away.

Why do you think they would abandon you

by the side of the road?

I didn't say "abandon,"
Dr. Sylvander... you did.

They just...

left.

Okay, I don't have abandonment issues.

I didn't say that you did.

And I'm curious why you reacted
so strongly to that word.

I had a marriage

that ended when my husband
couldn't stay put.

Now I have this boyfriend who...

okay, he's not really my boyfriend.

We dated, and then we broke up.

But, anyway, now I've got
one foot out the door

because I have this job
waiting for me in South America.

But we're still seeing
each other sort of, in a way.

Um, actually, he's the one who
recommended I see a therapist.

How did you feel when
your not-really-a-boyfriend

suggested you see a therapist?

He's a doctor.

It was his professional opinion

that I should be concerned
about developing PTSD.

Jill, you went to someone
you were involved with

because you were scared and confused

and you wanted to be comforted.

He recommended professional help.

Is that what you were looking for?

When you are not expected?

[Softly]
Appear.

And when he is unprepared?

[Softly]
att*ck.

Wait a sec. General Collins!

It's me... it's Evan! That is so crazy.

I didn't know you steamed here.

What are the odds of that?
It's good to see you.

I've been thinking
about joining up here 'cause...

Oh! 'Cause a lot
of my clients are members here.

They keep telling me, specifically...

Son, this is the one hour of the week

when I can relax completely.

- I'm sure you understand.
- Of course I can.

[Breathing deeply]

Sorry. Did you say an hour?

Look, there's Anna.

That's a long walk to get your mail.

I needed to walk off some tension.

Oh.

Is everything okay?

Hank, I'm kind of freaking out.

When Elyse walked you
to your car the other day,

you were discussing
something that looked serious.

Yeah, I'm sorry.
I really can't talk about that.

- You should ask Elyse.
- I did.

And she was totally evasive.
She tells me everything.

She tells me stuff I don't want to know.

Why would she keep secrets from me now?

I... I can't answer that for her.

Does it have to do with Marco?

Help! Help!

My mom needs help. She's fainting.

She's hemorrhaging from her nose.

Okay, everybody in the car.
Show me where she is.

Okay, let's go.

Elyse!

What happened?

[Mumbles]
My... my throat, it won't stop.

Okay, you have a posterior bleed.

Should we take her to the hospital?

We don't have time for that.
I need to stop it now.

[Vomiting]

Hank, what can I do to help?

Nothing, Libby.
Just give me some room, please.

Elyse, I need you to lean
forward, spit out the blood,

and take gentle, shallow breaths.

She's lost a lot of blood.

She could go into shock if
we don't stop the bleeding soon.

Yep. The bleed is too deep to squeeze.

I need to apply direct pressure.

Okay, Elyse, I need you to sit up.

[Gasps]
That's it.

I'm gonna use Lidocaine Jelly
to numb the inside of your nose.

Okay.

One, two, three.

Okay, there are balloons
at the end of the catheters

that I'm gonna inflate with saline.

The pressure should stop the bleeding.

Okay.

Okay.

You're gonna feel some more pressure now.

Okay.

Here we go.

Okay, good.

Good.

All right, now we'll do the other side.

This should keep it in place.

It's not pretty, but it'll do the trick.

- I can't... I can't breathe.
- Oxygen?

Hey.
[Gasping]

I just need to take a look.

Okay, good. The bleeding has stopped.

Let's get her up.

[Moans]
Here we go.

One, two, three. [Grunts] Ah.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How'd it go with Libby's mom?

I'm going to see her at the hospital.

- Is she okay?
- At the moment, yeah.

How'd it go with Paige's dad?

Very well.

Really?

Why do you seem so surprised?

No, I'm just, uh...
I'm glad I could help.

Oh, actually, I... I didn't
use your advice.

I used Paige's, but thank you.

Oh.

Okay.

- Oh, hey.
- Hi.

- How are you?
- Fine.

Everything's fine.

Hi. Have you guys met?

Uh, Paige, this is my brother, Hank.

Hank, uh, I'd like you to meet
my soon-to-be fiancee, Paige.

What... what... what was that about?

What? Nothing.

So? What happened with my dad?

Well, uh...

Yeah, your dad... he said yes.

Yes, he said yes.
[Laughing]

- Aw!
- All we have to do

is wait until after the election.

You know, the standard obstacle
in every great love story.

- He delayed?
- No, he said yes...

Just aft...

Yeah, yes, he... I guess he delayed.

Delay is the beginning of defeat.

That's the title
of chapter 12 of his book.

Didn't you read it?

Matt Damon was on 30 Rock...

Again.

Okay, start at the beginning.
What happened?

[Wheezing, coughs]
What's on your mind, son?

I have a feeling this
isn't just a chance encounter,

so just spit it out.

Give me water. Water, please.

[Coughs]

[Whispers]
Thank you.

[Groans, burps]

[Grunting]

That's good stuff.

You want to marry my daughter, don't you?

Yeah.

I always feared this day would come...

Though I thought I'd be
wearing clothes when it did.

Yeah. Yeah, you and me both thought that.

You think you'll be able
to provide for Paige

in the style to which she is accustomed?

Hankmed's only scratching the surface

of its potential so far, sir.

I intend to become a king out here,

so I can treat her like a queen... I do.

Look, it's bad enough
my daughter's in love with you.

But can't all this just wait

until after the campaign is over?

If you're just dating,
press isn't interested.

But the minute you put a ring
on her finger...

Yeah, but the... the public
loves a good romance, though.

- Come on!
- Son...

I don't think you
want this kind of scrutiny.

Your whole family would be subject to it,

if you know what I mean.

I'm not ashamed of my father, sir.

I don't keep secrets.

That's exactly what I'm afraid of.

Yeah, I kind of failed that test, huh?

Your dad already thought
I was a blabbermouth.

Now I just went and verified it for him.

I somehow thought

that not being ashamed of my family

would score me points.

Evan, I love that you don't keep secrets.

And I wish...

You wish what?

I wish he'd said yes today.

Yeah, me too.

- Hey.
- Hi.

I brought you some whole-wheat,
sugar-free oat-bran muffins.

And there is no need to thank me.

Thank you.

Uh, did you call Marco
about the feed delivery?

I can handle it.

Okay, what's going on?

You've been acting weird lately.

Do you want us to step out

while you ask her what you asked me?

I'm not stepping anywhere.

I want to see where this is going.

[Sighs] You have been spending

a lot more time working
and less time with me.

And then I see you telling Hank something

that you felt you couldn't say
in front of me?

We've never had secrets.

Smoking. I... I smoke cigarettes.

- What?
- Since when?

I don't know. Two years ago.

I can't believe this.
So you're telling me...

No, let me yell at her first,
and then you can have your turn.

I can't believe this. You're telling me

for the past two years, you've smoked?

How have you pulled that off?

I don't know...
lots of showers and toothpaste.

I only have a couple cigarettes
a day, always outside.

I would grab one with Marco
in the barn or when I'm in town.

Look, I am not proud of smoking.

And I'm not proud of covering it up,

especially when my doctor
asked me about it.

And seriously, that is all we discussed.

What?

What did you think I told Hank?

That you were bored with me.

You know, the seven-year itch.

Anna.

Do I need challenges in my life?

Yes.

But not with my family,
not with the people I love.

[Chuckles]

- Get a room.
- Oh.

Uh...

Elyse...

has the hair on your arm
always been curly like that?

Now that you mention it,

I thought it was just
another indignity of turning 40.

I thought I'd have to be
shaving by the time I was 50.

Besides the alpaca cheese,
what else do you eat?

Oh, uh, eggs, peanut butter, cereal.

Meat and fish, lots of diet coke.

Any fruits, vegetables?

Not really.

Occasionally, she will have a carrot.

Okay, I'm pretty sure I know
why your blood won't clot.

You're suffering from
a severe vitamin "C" deficiency.

Most people know it as... scurvy.

Yeah, that's right.

But I thought only pirates got scurvy.

It's rare, but all the symptoms line up.

It sounds like you have almost
zero vitamin "C" in your diet.

And not that you need it, but
another reason to quit smoking

is that it lowers the amount
of vitamin "C" in your body.

So...

an apple a day
really would've kept you away?

An orange would've been better.

Hey! Hi.

Can I confess something to you?

- You don't smoke, do you?
- No.

Okay, good.

I have always had
this fear of the unknown.

Interestingly, though,
there is no, like, phobia name

for the fear of the unknown.

There's, um, the fear of something new.

That is kainophobia.
But I don't have that.

Good. What do you have?

A realization.

Hank, that moment my mom
was about to bleed to death,

I realized if you weren't there,

I would not have been able to do
anything to help her.

And I don't ever want to feel
that way again,

whether it's my mom or Tucker...

or anybody.

Knowing you, Libby,
I don't think you ever will.

I'll check in on your mom later.

Okay.

- Hey, Hank!
- Yeah?

Do you guys think
you would maybe ever need

some summer help?
Like... around the office?

I don't know. I never thought about it.

Well, think about it.

I will.

Thank you for meeting me.

I really appreciate the heads-up
you gave me at my house.

I'm sure it wasn't easy
for you to come here.

And I'm really grateful.

- You're a good man, Raj.
- Just not good enough for you.

Please, Raj, can we talk about this?

There's nothing to talk about.

What's this?

It's the first installment.

It's what I can afford right now.

And I'll send that
to your parents every month

until the debt is paid off.

What about your share of Hankmed?

I have already asked Hank and Evan

for more than enough help.

Raj, I am not doing this because
of the thr*at of some lawsuit.

I am doing this because it is
my responsibility.

And I'm gonna figure out
a way to handle it...

my way.

Good luck with that, Divya.

What do you remember next?

The door opened, I think.

I can feel the warm breeze.

Keep going.

[Speaking german]

What does that mean to you?

Nothing.

[Computerized voice speaking german]

[Computerized voice speaking german]

[Computerized voice speaking german]

[Computerized voice] It's not her.

Ev, this was a great idea.

Thank you. I am genuinely relaxed.

Yeah, I got a great deal on
a three-day pass from Groupon.

I only needed one day.

But by buying the three-day,
I essentially got a free day.

Okay, whatever you say.
You're the business brain.

Yeah, uh, speaking of business,

I've been thinking about how
to improve Hankmed's efficiency.

Uh-oh.

"A," we're covering way
too much territory right now.

So our options are,

one, we could lower our standard of care.

- Not an option.
- I agree.

And please don't mix numbered
points with alphabetized points.

- It makes my head spin.
- Noted.

- Thank you.
- So option A/2...

- Nice.
- ...we could increase staff size

to responsibly
increase field of operations

without compromising
our signature Hankmed service.

In short, I want to grow Hankmed.

Yeah, I know.

I've heard these kinds
of suggestions before.

None like these.

Seriously, we're talking
about a whole new level here.

I have a fully fleshed-out business plan.

Is this about you wanting
a bigger business?

Or is this about you wanting

to make this a bigger business for Paige?

It's about both.

[Sighs]

Hank, it's me. Call me when you can.

I need to talk to you about the accident.

I figured something out.

[Sighs deeply]

[Knock at door]

Hey. Thank you again.

- I really appreciate this.
- Don't thank me.

We need you around here.

Have a good night.

Hello. I'm Divya.

I'm the physician assistant
on duty tonight.
