Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Royal Pains...

Evan and I have reached an impasse

in our differences over Hankmed.

So, we've decided to...

suspend our partnership.

- Hank quit.
- It's not that simple.

But not to worry.
I'm gonna keep Hankmed running.

With the help of my new doctor.

Okay, make it 10%, and you
got yourself a concierge doctor.

Dr. Sacani...

Wow. Impressive.

Gentlemen, welcome to Hankmed 2.0.

Hank, the park is full of people.

Evan.

Evan.

Evan Lawson!

Ernie, Ernie!

Hey. We're all okay, Jill.
Just scrapes and bruises.

Have you seen Evan?

He was at his booth
just before the expl*si*n.

I'm gonna take Ernie to triage, all right?

Be careful. Good luck finding him.

Oh, you gotta go the other way.

We're still working hot spots down there.

- I'm a doctor.
- Been a propane expl*si*n,

we haven't secured all the tanks yet.

- The park isn't safe.
- I still want to help.

All right, give him your jacket.

- Thank you.
- Go.

I'm a doctor.

My name is Hank. Where's the pain?

No, I'm... I'm not in pain.
I can't find my shoe.

Oh.

All right, take off
the other shoe, and go.

It's not safe here.

She seems okay, just a little disoriented.

- Yeah. Come on.
- What happened?

Evan?

- Evan.
- No, Tim.

Listen, we're gonna get you out, Tim.

There's a man stuck in here.

I'm Hank. I'm a doctor.

He's barely got a pulse.

Aah!

I'm a paramedic. I'm here to help.

Okay, I need an inflatable tourniquet.

Just gimme the BP cuff. I can use that.

Okay, we got hemostasis. Good.
I need trauma shears. Good.

And an intraosseous line kit,

and an IV setup with normal saline.

And get a rotary saw.

Listen to me, Tim, you're losing blood.

You need IV fluids,
and the only vein I can get to

is in your arm, but your arm is broken.

I need to go through the bone in your leg.

It's gonna hurt,
but it's gonna save your life.

Okay, gimme the IO. Good.

Okay. Tim, get ready.

You're gonna feel some pain.

I'm advancing through the periosteum.

Okay, Tim, we're almost there.
Removing the trocar.

Okay, I'm aspirating.

Okay, good, we've got blood returned.

Gimme a 10 CC flush. Thank you.

Okay, we're there. Gimme the line.

Okay, good.

We got flow.

Okay, good, we're ready.

Cut the pipe and get me the airbag.

Hoist it.

Okay, good.

All right, good. I need
a phily collar and a longboard.

Good. Put the longboard
right there at his feet.

All right, Tim,
I'm gonna stabilize your head,

and apply the collar, don't move.

All right, let's log roll him.

One, two, three.

- All right, all right.
- Okay, good.

- Let's slide the board in.
- Got it.

All the way in.

One, two, three.

All right.

Good. All right, let's pull him out.

Let's go. Pull, pull, pull.

Easy, easy, easy, watch his head.

- Keep pullin'.
- That's it.

'Scuse me.

Okay, I got a radial pulse.

Your blood pressure's stabilizing,

you're gonna be okay.

Let's get him to the hospital.

I thought your being here,
your coming home finally,

meant that you had changed your mind,

that you are ready to follow
your father's wishes.

You know that I can't do that.

I want us to have a relationship.

Like we used to.

I miss you so much.

Your father wouldn't
understand, he'd be furious.

He wouldn't have to know.

No. It's not right.

Those are the types of lies

that got you into this position
in the first place.

Is this what you want, mum?

Please don't ask me to go
against your father's wishes.

If it is the only way
that we can have any contact,

then wouldn't that end justify the means?

No. It wouldn't.

I'm sorry.

Hey, Ernie, you good?

- Good.
- Evan's over there.

Evan, are you okay?

- Evan, were you b*rned?
- Hank.

Wha... I can't... I'm s... I can't hear...

there's ringing in my ears.
I can't hear anything.

Okay, uh, where's the silvadene?

He doesn't need silvadene.
Here, look closer.

Ink and glue.

Non-permanent tattoos.

He fell face-first into a pile of 'em.

Temporary tattoos?

Oh...

Evan, you're okay.

Still ringing.

Right. Ringing is good.

Yeah, and there's
no perforation of the eardrum.

Oh. Uh, good. He's... he's my brother.

- I don't believe we've met.
- Oh, uh...

Jeremiah Sacani.

You new to Hamptons Heritage?

I'm new to Hankmed.

And you are?

Hank.

What?

Thanks for the lift.

Especially since you must be exhausted.

Yeah, I'm just glad
everyone seems to be okay.

Surprised at how okay Evan is.

It's been a little more than one
day, and he's hired two doctors.

I don't know whether to be
resentful or impressed.

Well, you guys did agree
to go your own ways.

Yeah, I just didn't think
he'd move this fast.

Maybe he feels like
he's got something to prove.

Hm.

Was that someone on your porch?

Hank, there have been a few
break-ins in the neighborhood.

Hello.

Luke?

Luke, is that you?

Hi, aunt Jill.

What're you doing here?

I had nowhere else to go.

Okay, now with both eyes,
do you still see two fingers?

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.

Who gets kicked out
of chess camp after one day?

No, I'm sorry.

Who gets kicked out
of chess camp for fighting?

You know, things happen.

Luke, you've never
been in a fight in your life,

and now some kid punches you?

And what happened to him?

Does it matter, aunt Jill?

But they kick you out

without even a call to your father or me?

Okay.

I'm gonna call Ernie to let him
know that Luke is okay.

Don't worry. I'll calm him down.

Okay, now follow my fingers
with your eyes.

Left, right, down, up. How many now?

Still two.

Okay, good.

While the guy landed a pretty nice sh*t,

you have no evidence
of a blowout fracture,

or any serious eye injury.

You may have periocular swelling
and discoloration,

but your eye should be fine.

You... you still have that cold?

It's my chronic sinusitis.

Are you taking anything?

Over-the-counter stuff. Why?

Well, your pupils are dilated,
you're trembling,

and your heart's racing.

What's the medicine called?

I don't know.

"Cold and sinus" something.
I take it every four hours.

Okay.

What, you don't think
I'm on dr*gs, do you?

Look at me. I go to chess camp.

Dude, you got kicked out of chess camp.

Just fill this up.

You're totally wasting your time.

And my urine.

Urine already is waste.

Fill it, grand master.

I'm not suggesting you guys
memorize my manifesto,

or, um, mission statement.

Okay, good. It's 16 pages.

Uh...

I see a couple of run-on sentences here.

A, uh, dangling participle,
and, uh, right here...

is a, uh, split infinitive.

Ah-ha.

Well, Jeremiah, I promise you that, uh,

what it lacks in good grammar

it more than makes up for
in vision, and in passion.

Guys, look at this. Look at me.

I left this Hankmed tattoo on my face

just to show how passionate I am.

You couldn't get it off, could you?

- Try rubbing alcohol.
- Or acetone.

Okay, thanks, guys.

This is actually a waste of your talent,

so why don't we just get back
to our business, shall we?

Good.

Since Dr. Sacani
needs to familiarize himself

with the files of Hankmed
retainer patients, Dr. Van d*ke

is gonna handle all house calls for now.

I made schedules, they're in the binders,

under... under "schedules. "

Hey. Uh, morning.

Hey, yeah.

You know Dr. Van d*ke,
and you met Dr. Sacani.

I did.

Evan, uh, when you're done
with your meeting, can we talk?

We, uh... we just finished the meeting.

So, uh, yeah.

- Oh, okay.
- Yeah.

Good talk.

You know, Evan, it occurs to me

that your brother is a doctor.

Yup.

Whose name is Hank.

That's right, Jeremiah.

Uh, it's actually a long story,
which I will tell you.

Um...

at another time.

Just thought we'd get, uh, an early start.

You know, uh...

Listen, last night...
what happened out there,

what almost happened to you,

it gave me some much-needed perspect...

I'm sorry, is that tattoo
still on your face?

I know. Rubbing alcohol or acetone, right?

Yeah, those are good,
or something a little gentler.

Come here, sit down.

- I'm afraid.
- Don't be.

- Olive oil?
- Yep, that's right, my friend.

Okay, and...

there you go. Good as new.

All gone.

Thanks.

It was hard to take you seriously.

So, um, as I was... as I was saying...

while business is important,

nothing is more important than us.

I'm just so happy you're okay.

Thank you.

And yes, I completely agree.

Whatever happens work-wise,

we can't let that get in the way of this.

No, we can't.

Who says we can't divide our old business

in an equitable and civil way?

- Yeah.
- Right?

Yeah, like a...
like a really friendly divorce.

- Yeah.
- You know, where the couple

- stays best friends.
- Exactly!

Oh, my God, this is awesome.
This is equitable and civil?

- Yeah!
- I love it. Okay.

- Okay.
- Um, let's do this.

- Yeah.
- Right now.

- Sure.
- All right.

Here we go.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Let's talk assets.

Okay, let's talk assets.

I'll take all the business clients.

Only because I imagine you want

to take all the individual clients.

- Yeah, sure, that sounds fair.
- Good. Yes.

Check, check. This is so easy it's crazy.

I knew it would be. What else?

I would like to keep the name "Hankmed. "

Huh.

If that's okay.

Sure.

And I'd like to keep the name
"Hank," if that's okay.

That is so yours. Okay, check. Wow.

Uh, speaking of checks,
I'm gonna put together

the nicest, fattest
severance package for you.

Oh, thank you,
but that won't be necessary.

One second.

Hankmed, how can I make...

y... oh, actually,
he does not work here anymore.

- But how can I...
- Um...

Yes. Hold on one sec.

Some woman said she saw you
at Harborfest last night,

that you helped her with her shoe?

Right, yes, so, I guess that makes her...

A pre-existing individual patient, okay.

Here you go.

Hello, this is Hank.

Uh-huh.

Okay, sure, yeah, I'll see you then.

- You know what that was?
- What?

That was us surviving
our first "mine or yours" call.

- Yes, it was.
- Oh, my God.

This is the best idea ever.

I'm so happy I didn't blow up last night.

Yeah, me too.

It is so great to see
you two back together again.

Divya. Yeah. Equitable and civil.

Okay.

Well, I had a personal matter

which kept me up so late that I overslept,

so, I apologize for...

- Did you just text me?
- Yeah.

Yes, I know I'm late.
I was explaining t...

I'm not making excuses. I...

I am not! I... stop texting me!

I told you that I had a long night.

When I got your text,
I thought it was a typo.

Since when do we have Hankmed meetings

so early in the morning?

Wait a minute, I'm sorry.

You texted Divya about your staff meeting?

Why wouldn't I?

You guys aren't back together again.

No. Well, to start,
she's my physician assistant.

- I am?
- No.

Divya works for Hankmed.

I do?

Don't you think that maybe one of you

should consult me about what I want?

Of... of course we should.
Of course we should. Sorry.

Tell him, Divya.

Yes, tell me that you work for me.

Actually...

I won't be working for either one of you.

Come here. Come on.

Hi.

Hey.

Come on.

Today, I'm the luckiest girl
in Easthampton.

I don't even have a colorist
I've got confidence in out here,

let alone a doctor.

And then I find a brochure folded up

in the back pocket of my shorts
with your number.

Oh, you want some lemonade? It's homemade.

Uh, no, thanks.

- This is quite a house.
- Oh, yeah.

My family and I used to
come here when I was little.

Haven't been back since,

but some of my favorite memories

took place under this shingled roof.

So, when I saw it
on the market this spring,

I just snatched it up.

We'd spend the summers here,
all ten of us,

I'm... I'm the baby.
Six brothers, one sister.

They used to all kind of take care of me.

- Come on, baby.
- Hey, now.

But now they're just
spread across the universe.

The universe?

Oh, um, I have a brother who
paid to go to a space station

on one of those Russian
rocket ship things.

Ah.

Yeah, but this is the best
place for a big family reunion,

especially since we don't reunion much.

But, uh, with this house,
I'm gonna change that.

Everyone's coming this summer.
I can't wait.

That's great.

Uh, so, this whole thing is yours?

Well, for now,
but I've got a lot of friends.

Whoa.

I was gonna rescue one,
but then I saw them all

looking at me with those sad little eyes,

and, I mean, I couldn't just pick one,

- so, I... I took them all.
- Yes, you did.

But all my friend-friends are back home.

So, what seems to be the trouble?

Okay, well, I've been an absolute wreck

after what happened last night.

Between the smoke, and the fire,

and God knows what else was burning, I...

I... I can't even imagine
how many toxic fumes I inhaled.

Okay, well, let me take a look.

No singed nasal hairs.

I feel like my insides are corroding.

Really? Okay. Um...

Open up.

- Say, "ah. "
- Ahh...

Okay, your throat's clear.

Lean forward, please.

Breathe in and out.

Again.

Well, lungs clear.

And no evidence of respiratory distress.

That's good news.

No, I... I know you're the doctor and all,

but I... I would feel a lot better
if I got a chest CT.

Hollister, based on what I just saw,

a CT isn't necessary.

Well, people do it
all the time on Grey's Anatomy.


Yes, but those people

have serious, fictional medical problems.

You, on the other hand, are fine.

Okay, well, either I've got
something you've missed,

or I've just wasted your time.

That's my job. Think of me
like one of your dogs.

I come when you call.

Well, then you're not like my dogs at all.

You don't have to leave.

Um, actually, I was reading

at your booth at Harborfest
about retainer clients.

How does it work, exactly?

Oh, right, uh, well...

why don't I give you an agreement,

and you can read all about it?

Of course, the one thing
I don't have in my bag.

Um, you know what?

I'll just have my business partner person

get back to you with one, okay?

Uh, what's their name?

Uh, I'll just drop one off myself. Okay?

I'm sorry about
all the craziness with Evan,

and Hankmed, and you getting
caught in the middle.

Thank you for saying that.

And thank you...

thank you for the flowers.

Wow.

That's quite a... a... who gave you those?

Me.

Of course he did.

Yours are, uh, adorable, though. Really.

Thank you.

It's nice to see,

with everything you guys have going on,

that you are thinking of me.

But I have things
that I need to sort out as well.

Which is what I was trying to do
until you showed up at my house.

Uninvited.

Right, sorry. We'll get going.

Yeah. You have your own life, so...

Well, we're here, um, though.

We would love to figure out
the P-A of it all.

I can't work for both of you.

I have tried doing two jobs before,

and we all know how that worked out.

Yeah, but we both want to work with you.

Yeah.

So, you gotta pick one of us.

Me or him. Or me.

Come on, guys.

I mean, that's an impossible choice.

Fine. Fine, fine.

If I have to pick one...

I'll need more time.

Of course, of course.

And look, if you want
to talk about your own stuff...

I'm here. We're both here, I guess.

And in the meantime,
we promise to leave you alone

to make the right choice.

Mm.

Guys!

Right, sorry.

- We're on our way.
- We're on our way.

Good girl.

Wow. Those dogs have a nice life.

They didn't always,
but they deserve one now.

I'm sorry, who are you?

Evan R. Lawson, CEO of Hankmed.

You called. How can I help you?

I... I called Hank,

hoping he may have changed
his mind about a chest CT.

I've been coughing.

Yes, that's actually my number now.

He probably changed his,

but I can tell you
he does not change his mind.

I work for Hankmed, though.

It's a different
concierge medicine business.

So, there's a "Hank," and a "Hankmed"?

Yes, it's a long story,

but was there something not done
to make you feel better today?

You know when you know something's wrong,

but the people who are
supposed to know don't?

You need a second opinion.

Well, Hollister,

you could be the healthiest
person I've seen in a long time.

I was afraid you'd say that.

Uh, yes, I can see why
that would be disappointing.

So you can't give me a chest CT?

- Well, I could, but...
- Hank...

thought it was unnecessary.

Yeah. Makes sense.

Um, Hollister, listen,
the radiation from a chest CT

may be extremely minimal,
but it does exist,

and you'll likely get the same diagnosis.

Also, it's very expensive.

How expensive?

I mean, not as expensive
as a full-body CT, of course...

Wait, there's a full-body CT?

I can't believe they got
this machine here so fast.

Yup. Money moves mountains.

Welcome to concierge medicine.

Full-body CTs are awesome.
I feel better already.

That's great. We're very happy for you.

Only this isn't a treatment,
it's a diagnostic tool.

Well, whatever it is, it's working.

Good.

How is it working?

It's not.

So, she's... she's crazy?

She wouldn't be the first
person to be cured by a test.

Sometimes patients

just need to feel like
the doctor's doing something.

Placebo effect.

So, Ernie, how is it having Luke back?

Considering I didn't
want him in chess camp

in the first place, I'd say
I'm taking it pretty well.

Well, we know you're
taking that part well.

- What about the other part?
- Oh.

When I called the camp
to find out what happened,

I got a little surprise.

Guess who didn't get kicked out.

Turns out he ran away.

Really?

Did... did Luke say why?

Yeah, he wouldn't
talk about it with Ernie or me.

Kid never tells me anything.

Well, I need to give Luke
his test results.

Maybe he'll talk to me.

Yeah, good luck with that.

And the results?

Everything's normal.

Good. Good.

Well, I guess I'm done here. Thanks, doc.

And I will, uh, see you guys later.

- Okay.
- Bye, Ernie.

I am so relieved to hear
that Luke's test came back okay.

- Yeah.
- I wish...

I could give your business
the same clean bill of health.

I thought you were gonna
get me a new business number,

some interviews...

Well, I did, but Hank,

I've also been going through the books,

and you have bigger problems
than staffing.

If you don't get some capital soon,

you're not gonna be hiring anyone.

It's that bad?

Well, Hank, remember, you're
building a brand-new business.

You have to buy your own equipment,

build an infrastructure...

You need a steady flow of new patients

like Evan used to bring in.

Your new business has no money.

Okay.

You can do this.

Hi, this is Hank. Well, Dr. Lawson.

Dr. Hank Lawson.

I... I... I... I... I...

I have a new phone number. Yes, I do.

And, uh, when... when you get this message,

you can... you can just call me
back on that new phone number

because...

because I have some exciting new programs.

They're exciting, and they're new,

and you are gonna wanna hear about 'em

so much that you're gonna call
me back to find out about them.

Uh, so, that...
that new phone number is 6...

Yes.



Yeah. No, no, we're gonna
leave a little extra time,

since you're my new patient.

My pleasure.

Good morning, doctor.

Hi, Evan.

Come on in.

Here you go.

Th... no, no, no.

These are... these are your copies

of the corporate retainer client files.

Oh, I got 'em.

You...

memorized all the files?

Yes.

So, if I asked you

which patient had a tuberculosis scare,

but it turned out to just be a rash...



What?

I memorized the patients'
social security numbers.

See, there are a lot of Johns
and Davids and Marys,

but each one of them has
their own unique identifiers.

Right.

But they're not gonna want to be called

by their own unique identifier.

They're... they're gonna want to
be called John, David, or Mary.

I see.

In that case, this will take more time.

Yeah, well, you really
don't have to memorize...

Hey. How's it going?

Good. Just breaking in the new staff.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.
That is some doctor you hired.

Okay.

The man's new to concierge medicine.

He will get his sea legs.

He needs a little time, that's all.

No, no, I wasn't criticizing him.

I looked Dr. Sacani up online.

I wanted to make sure he was legit.

Top of his class at Johns Hopkins.

Johns Hopkins, yeah.

Published a groundbreaking study

- in The New England Journal.
- Groundbreaking.


His resume's impressive.

His resume is impressive. That's right.

Can't wait for our patients
to meet his resume.

Your eye's gotten a little
more black and blue,

but that's normal.

Okay, Hank, it is really
hard to see the board

with that thing in my eye.

Oh, I'm so sorry my exam

is interfering with your chess game.

I'm done. Now, how 'bout
you tell me what happened?

- Oh, I nabbed your bishop.
- Thanks. I meant at camp.

It's your move.

Luke, your aunt's worried about you.

And so am I.

Okay.

Okay. There was this girl.

Last month, she asked me
to take the SATs for her.

You know that's illegal.

Yes, officer. Your move.

How'd you even take them for a girl?

Her name is Alex.

But the day of the test,
I wanted to back out.

- I got really nervous.
- Hm.

But then Alex convinced me to do it.

She did? How?

So, I took it.

But during the test,

my mind went blank; I forgot everything.

Must've been the nerves.
Totally screwed up.

And when Alex got her scores,
she was pissed.

She cornered me at chess camp,
and well, uh...

bam.

You said that when you took
the test for the girl,

you were really nervous,

do you get nervous a lot?

No, not usually. I also
don't usually break the law.

Your move.

You seem really nervous right now.

And your blood pressure's high.

For a kid your age, that's unusual.

I'm gonna take some blood.

Your move.

Luke, I want to make sure
your kidney function's normal.

- Okay, but...
- I know, okay? My move.

She just said, "symptoms. "

She didn't say what they were.

Well, isn't that why we're here?

To find out?

You don't think Hankmed 2.0 did something

that, uh, made her sick, do you?

Don't know. What did Hankmed 2.0 do?

So she wanted a chest CT.

Okay? Hank refused,

but then we did it.

Actually, we gave her a full-body CT.

And now she's sick.

I doubt a CT made her sick.

But I can't say anything for sure

- until I've seen the patient.
- Good.

This isn't an emergency, is it?

Technically, no.

- But it's...
- Evan.

I don't appreciate you doing this to me

when you said you'd give me time.

I know, Divya, I'm sorry.

I... I... Hank said no, Van d*ke said yes,

I didn't know what to think.

I needed another opinion
from someone I trust.

And it's just this one patient.

I promise you I'm not gonna
talk about business at all.

Unless, of course, you've decided

you do want to work for me,
at which point we can talk...

So, tell me what's going on.

Um...

nausea... bad, stomach-turning,

thought-of-food-makes-me-sick nausea.

I was throwing up all night,
and I was alone,

so it was really scary.

I could imagine.

The radiologist confirms
that your CT is clean.

Um, okay, well, the thing is I was there

during the explosions with the smoke...

Oh, Hollister, Divya has your history.

It was just the other doctors asked.

I'm sorry that you had to

describe your symptoms
to three different people.

You should have more
continuity of care than that.

I don't mind repeating myself.

Actually, it's really nice
to have company.

My family was supposed to come
visit for Memorial Day weekend.

A big reunion, but, uh,
they couldn't make it.

Some of my siblings are still
trying to visit, though.

Busy lives.

Divya, hey.

Look...

I get it.

You're caught in the middle.

It's not fair to you.

And I'm sorry.

I really am.

Thank you, Evan.

You've got to understand.

You and Hank are family.

You're the only family I have right now.

And I can't do anything to mess that up.

I lost one family; I won't lose another.

I understand.

And you're family to me too.

Which is a giant part of why
I can't do this without you.

Jill, it's me.

Luke broke into my house,
and he's acting really strange.

I need you to help me
get him to the hospital.

He won't listen to me.

I didn't know it was her, Hank,

I totally thought
somebody was breaking in.

Someone did.

I didn't want you to get robbed.

There have been a lot
of robberies around here,

- right, aunt Jill?
- Yes, Luke,

there have been, but...

What were you doing here in the
first place, and not at home?

It's not safe there. There are
so many noises and lights.

Okay. What's wrong with him?

I think he's become hypervigilant.

Luke, you're burning up.

I'd like to take your temperature.

I'm hot because the damn computer

has got rook and pawn versus rook.

And it's really hot in here.

Okay, come here.



Okay, forget the game.

We have to get you to the hospital.

No way, not until I finish this.

I should've won five moves ago.

- Hey.
- Don't touch me.

Luke!

- Luke, forget about the game.
- What game?

Chess. Luke, you don't remember?

Aunt Jill, my mind... is blank.

Luke, try to remember.

Is it the same kind of blank that you felt

when you took the SATs?

I don't know. Yeah, I guess.

You were nervous then,

and you were nervous about going to camp.

Did you take anything?

The girl, Alex, who convinced you,

did she give you something
to calm your nerves?

Yeah, maybe Alex gave me some
of her mom's antidepressants.

How long ago did you
take your cold medication?

I don't know.

Over an hour.

Okay, we need to try to stop the effect

of the cold medicine in his system.

I've called 911. They're on their way.

If we don't get it out of his body now...

What?

Here.

Rip this up into thin strips, okay?

Okay.

Antidepressants will stay
in his system for weeks.

Sorry, Luke.

If I'm right,
the combination of those pills

with the cold medicine he just took

set off a serotonin storm in his body.

It explains the fever,
agitation, hypervigilance...

- And his elevated BP.
- Exactly.

- Can I have the charcoal, please?
- Yeah.

That latest dose of cold medicine

was the gasoline on the fire,

so, we've got to get the charcoal in

to get the gasoline out.

Come on, Luke. Stay with us, bud.

We're gonna get you
to the hospital right away.

It's hard to breathe. The pain...

Your blood pressure is low.

Something's wrong.

Yes. I just don't know what.

Please don't leave me!

I wasn't going to go anywhere.

I was just getting my phone to call Hank.

I'm so scared. I just want my family here.

I don't have anyone here.

I'm here, and I'm not gonna go anywhere.

- I promise.
- Okay.

- Divya?
- Hank.

Thank God you're here.

Her BP is dropping, she's
having shortness of breath,

and acute abdominal pain.

I'm just gonna have a listen.

No bowel sounds.

Your intestines aren't working
to transport food.

Her CT was clean two days ago.

There was no obstruction.

I didn't give her a CT, did you?

Van d*ke did.

Oh. Well, now she actually needs one.

We're gonna get you to the hospital.

Okay.

This clean one is from two days ago,

this one they just took here.

Here, you can see there's fat stranding.

It's most likely caused

from Hollister being near the expl*si*n.

Okay, thank you.

We'll start prepping her for surgery.

Thank you for showing up when you did.

Yeah, I wasn't expecting
to find you there.

Does this mean
you decided to work for Evan?

No.

No, no, Hank.

I was doing Evan a favor.
A temporary favor.

Okay.

I was happy to see you
at Hollister's today too.

It felt right.

Made me realize I don't wanna
do this without you.

I can't.

Check.

And... checkmate.

Oh, this is getting demoralizing.

Getting?

Oh.

I'll be right back.

- 'Sup, grand master?
- You want a piece of me, doc?

Uh, as much as I'd like to whup you,

I'd never take advantage
of a recovering patient

in a hospital bed.

You're a smart man. The kid's lethal.

And getting a little smarter himself.

Thanks, doc, for helping Luke

come clean about taking that test.

Yeah.

It sounds like you learned
your lesson about cheating.

You got nothing out of it
but a black eye from a girl.

Dad, I didn't do it for nothing.

- You telling me she paid you?
- Not exactly.

This seems like

a perfect time for a father-son
chat, so, good luck.

Bye, Luke.

Jill?

Hey, hey, hey. What's wrong?

My job fell through.

My team just called
from Uruguay to tell me

- that I've been replaced.
- What?

They gave my position to someone else.

I resigned from the hospital,

I sold my house.

Hank, I am so screwed.

Knock, knock.

- Hi.
- Hi.

How's my favorite patient doing?

Aww.

You didn't.

I did.

Well played, Henry.

You're starting to think like me.

Am I missing something?

It's much better that way, trust me.

We were just explaining to Hollister

that the concussive force
of the propane expl*si*n

struck her just right
to damage a hollow organ.

Like my ear?

Exactly, but in this case, it
was Hollister's small intestine.

Mm-hmm.

The pressure of the blast probably damaged

several vessels in the bowel,

which led to edema and tissue breakdown.

It's called shock bowel.

That will make for
the grossest status update ever.

You will be in here for a couple of days,

but you will make a full recovery.

You really don't take good news well.

No, it's just...

my dogs. Who's gonna take care of them?

Well, didn't your sister Julie
get ahold of you?

My sister? No.

Well, I called her
to tell her what happened,

and she said she was
getting on a plane to see you,

and, uh, help.

Yeah, Julie says a lot of stuff,

but it doesn't mean it's always true.

I'm sorry.

We'll help you find a dog-sitter.

Or take care of whatever you need.

You guys... you're amazing.

I don't know what I would've
done without you three.

Well, what you need to do now is rest.

No, wait, you guys don't have to go.

Please stay.

You need to rest.

And I'm always just a phone call away.

And so is Hankmed 2.0.

Right, whoever you'd like to call,

we'll respect the decision.

Exactly, your health is obviously

- the most important thing here.
- Most important thing.

- As well as your dogs.
- Guys.

Really? Really?

It's okay. I already know who I'm hiring.

You do?

I'm retaining you both.

Uh, look, two...

two concierge doctors
kinda sounds like one too many.

Yeah.

Well, how could I possibly choose?

Besides, they always say
to get a second opinion,

and with the both of you, I always can.

- Hollister?
- Julie?

We came the second we got the call.

Oh...

What did the doctor say you have?

Let's just call it...

"ew. "

Hi.

Sorry to interrupt,

but we have got a thing
that we have to go and do.

- We have that thing with the...
- That thing.

Thank you, guys.

- Bye, Hollister.
- Buh-bye.

How have you been?

- I haven't seen you...
- Excuse me.

Hankmed 2.0. Just remember.

- Evan.
- Got it.

Sorry about that.

God.

You'd think she would've had
the decency to pick one of us.

Actually, I think it's kind of inspired.

I mean, why pick one Lawson
if you don't have to?

Are you... are you saying
what I fear you're saying?

Gentlemen. I have decided
that I am going to work

for both of you.

But, 50-50, down the middle.

I'll drop off a master schedule for
both of you to follow in the morning.

Until then.

But Div...

- That's not a choice.
- That's not a choice!
