HANK: Previously on
Royal Pains...

Now, with HankLab gone,

are we going to have to plead with the
hospital for more reasonable rates?

No, not yet. I'm actually
working on HankLab Mach Two.

Good morning, Boris.

I have a business proposal
I want to discuss with you.

Hi. I'm Charlotte.

Are you in town
just to see Hank?

I'm also here to consult with
a surgeon that Hank knows

who does corneal transplants.

You hired the lawyer.

The one that helped Viviana.

I had to do something
to make up for interfering.

Cinco's parents
are suing HankMed.

You know that picture of you
sticking a needle into Cinco's ass?

They saw that.
Now, they're out for blood.

Emma, did you sell that photo of
Cinco and me to SnarkHampton?

I sent that photo to some of the
people who were at the party.

One of them must
have sold it to SnarkHampton.

Is there anything else
we should know about?

No.

Hey, guys? One of my
prescription pads is missing.

Did either one of you take it?

Was anyone here while
we were in Argentina?

Not that I know of. Just Emma.


Yep. 50.

Fifty.

[SIGHING] I could have done
this by myself, you know.

You should be with Charlotte.

She may be seeing for the first
time since she was five.

That's a big deal.

Yeah, well, this Emma
issue is a big deal, too.

Well, no pills are missing.

Oh. So, she only took
a prescription pad.

If she took the pad.

Okay, she probably took the pad.

This is so much worse than
selling pictures to a website.

I mean, she put our
business in jeopardy.

My medical license.
She broke the law.

Why? Why would
she do that?

Probably money. Well, there are
better ways to make money.

Yeah, but she grew up learning
to make an easy buck.

Think about it. She's been scamming
with her mom since she was a kid.

Yeah, I know. But I thought
she didn't want that.

I thought she wanted to,
you know, fit in here.

She does. But now, she has all
these wealthy, privileged friends.

She probably thought she needed
money to keep up with them.

Personally, I like the idea
of just blaming Cinco.

No, no, no. It's
not about blame.

We need to help her. I know.

Or Dad won't be the only
felon in the family.

You know what? Let's sit down with
Emma tonight as a united front.

We'll have a... We'll
have a family summit.

I feel like every time we try asking her
directly, she makes up a story, though.

Again, she's had, like, 17 years of
practice. [CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

That's Emma now.
Yeah?

Cinco needs help.

[SCOFFS] Cinco?

You're not going to see him, right?
Yeah, of course I am.

You can't see Cinco, Henry.
His family is suing us.

They've declared w*r.

I don't care if they
inv*de Shadow Pond.

He's a kid who needs a doctor.

A doctor or a prescription?

I guess I'll find out.

HANK: Good boy, Labby.

Oh. Oh, good. Come on!

[CLAPPING] Come on!

Aw. Oh, hey.
Hey.

Thanks for coming.

Yeah, I'm glad you texted.

It gives me a chance
to invite you to dinner.

Evan and I were kind of hoping
to do a family night tonight.

Oh, I don't know if I can.
I may be seeing a friend.

Ah. But come check out Cinco.

His wrist has been k*lling him.

Hey.
Hi.

He says it's been getting worse
over the last couple of days,

but he's being all
macho about it.

I'm not being macho.

Look, I'm really embarrassed about the
last time you had to come and help me,

our parents'
lawsuit against HankMed.

Emma said I had to see you.
She's very persistent.

Well, she's right.

The brother-sister
team. I get it.

The dynamic duo. Just like us.
Right, Parker?

Whatever, Cinco, your
tennis wrist is boring.

I'm taking Labby inside.
She's way overheating.

Come here. Come here.
Come here.

She idolizes me.
Ow! Okay. There it is.

Can you, uh, give me
something for this?

Yeah. An X-ray.

Voilà.

Our plan for the new
and improved HankLab.

I think Boris is
going to love it.

Why are we here if the
plan is all written out?

Wouldn't Boris just
review it and decide?

No, he doesn't want to scour
over this dry material.

He's got people to do that.

I like to read everything.

Well, bigwigs like Boris,
they want to be sold.

You've just got to give them
a little song and dance.

I can't sing or dance.

[CHUCKLING]

Well, look. You're just here to
answer any medical questions.

Okay? That's all.

Why not Hank?

You're the medical director.

And Hank would just think we're
hitting Boris up for money.

We are. Yeah. As an
investment, though.

Fifty percent of a soon-to-be
very profitable medical lab?

That's a home run.

Gentlemen, good morning.

Mr. Lawson.

Boris.
Dr. Sacani.

It's good to finally
meet you in person.

But you needn't have
come all this way.

You could have dropped
these off for me to read.

Yeah?

HANK: Here we go.

[BUZZING]

Okay.

Is he okay?

Wow. You're
actually concerned.

No, it's just most girls are more worried
I'll break my bank account, not my wrist.

Well, I'm not most girls.

Okay. So, um,
I don't see a fracture.

That's a relief.

Could be carpal tunnel syndrome.

A compression of the
median nerve,

sometimes caused
by repetitive stress.

Like over-texting.

That could be a
contributing factor.

Take ibuprofen.

I'll give you some wrist
stretches and a splint to wear.

But if that doesn't ease the pain,
I'll refer you to a specialist.

Okay.

Oh, yeah.
And I text too much?

Is this about your new car?

What new car?

Oh. It was going
to be a surprise.

Oh, geez, I'm sorry.

How can you afford a car?

AutoTrader.
I got a good deal.

Hey. Don't be so modest.
You worked really hard.

Your sister is amazing.

Yeah. She is.

HANK: Thanks for doing this
in the Hamptons, Dan.

DAN: Oh, I know how important
this is for Charlotte.

CHARLOTTE: How's it looking,
Dr. Ellis?

DAN: Yesterday's surgery
went well.

But you tell me.

[CHUCKLING]

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

It's nice to see you.

[CHUCKLING]

It's, uh...
It's nice to be seen.

Bye.

Is something the matter?

Rafa.

He's asking for
joint custody of Sashi.

I thought Rafa wasn't
interested in being

a hands-on father.

So did I.

He's being influenced
by his mother.

I'm sure of it.

Well, what will you do?

Rafa is Sashi's father.
I want her to know him.

But she is not going
back to Argentina.

Is there anything
I can do to help?

No. But thank you.

Uh, shall we see the patient?
Yes. Of course.

Divya.
Hey, Chase. Uh,

this is Dr. Sacani.

Nice to meet you.
Hi.

I like the name of your shop.

Charon, uh, the ferryman
on the River Styx.

Nice. Most people
say "Sharon"

and think I can't spell.

[CHUCKLING] My business partner,
Ron, thought it sounded cool.

But, uh, now, he's gone.

So...

I'm sorry for your loss.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
He's not dead.

He left to take a job sailing
with a charter yacht company.

DIVYA: That sounds exciting.

I guess. Except it leaves
me doing a two-man job,

which is a lot less exciting
and more exhausting.

What can we do for you?

Uh, I've been having
joint pain and headaches.

Um, fatigue, too, but I just figured
it's from all the extra work.

Could you be inhaling the fumes
from the chemicals that you use?

I'm pretty careful.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Ron sends these notifications
for his vlog posts.

He calls it, "Ron's
Captain's Vlog."

What's a vlog?

Uh, video posts from the yacht,

which I don't have time to watch
because I have all this extra work.

So, uh, what do you guys think?

You seem a little resentful.

What do you think
about my symptoms?

Uh, it could be a number of things.
We'll... We'll run some tests.

And we'll give you
an air monitor

to attach to your coveralls while
you're working for the rest of the day.

So, that's the plan.

Family summit.

I like the sound of it. But Emma's pretty
good at maneuvering around the truth.

I know.
Listen,

I adore her, but she's not
going to come clean easily.

That's exactly what I told Hank.

Hank knows.

He's the one who hired a PI to look
into her when she first got here.

And Emma didn't fess up until
she was confronted with proof.

Babe, you're a genius.

That's what we'll do.

We'll follow her and see
what we can find out.

Maybe get some
undeniable evidence.

Yeah. Besides, who knows how much trouble
she could get into between now and then?

Yeah. We'll be protecting
her by following her.

It's the least we can do.
All right.

Okay, we'll put this here.

Right there.

All right. Which of
these are round?

Uh.

Hmm.

Nice.

That's so strange.

I can feel the curves, but visually,
I wouldn't have said this was round.

Huh. Okay, I want to try again.

Okay.
All right, listen.

You do have a session with the
occupational therapist tomorrow.

Like I can wait. Besides, I've
studied all the therapies.

Mary Likes Socks of Gray.

Ooh. Uh, Mary Likes
Socks of Gray.

Matching, likeness, sorting,
ordering, and grouping?

You studied, too.

Because I'm excited, too.

I just, I don't want
you to tire your eye out.

It's fine.

And besides, I really want to be off
my cane in time for my trip home.

Still a speed demon.

But you need to be realistic.

Your face changes
so much when you smile.

Your cheeks get bigger.
Your eyes get smaller.

So much to see.

Yeah.

EVAN: There she is.

Oh, no. She's going
for the pharmacy.

Maybe she has a headache?

Or maybe she's using Hank's
prescription pad to get dr*gs.

We have to stop her
before she gets arrested.

Wait, wait, wait.
She's not going in.

Come on.

What is that?

I don't know.

We have to get closer.

Sorry.

Come on. Come on.

She's leaving something.

I can't tell what it is.

What. Is this
a party?

Come on, guys.

Where did she go?
I don't know.

Evan. Paige.

What are you doing?

Uh, what are we doing?

Um, bird watching.

And you're the bird.

What is that?
What's what?

What is this?

I can explain. Well,
I'm sure you can.

The problem is your explanations
aren't always true.

Hank's prescription pad.

No, it's not.
Are you kidding?

The evidence is right here.
We're looking at it.

Okay, look closer. The first
page is a copy I made

and the rest is just
an ordinary notepad.

Well, she's telling
the truth about that.

Where's the real one?
It's at home.

I'm gonna put it back.

Why did you take it
in the first place?

I'm trying to out Oz.

I sold those pictures
to SnarkHampton.

But it was a huge mistake.

Okay, you didn't just
sell some pictures.

You sold a misleading
picture of Hank.

One that could seriously
damage his reputation.

I sent that photo because
I was mad at Cinco.

I had no idea that Oz was going
to focus so much on Hank.

But that is exactly why
I have to out Oz.

I have to get the leverage over him to
force him to set the record straight.

In order to lure him
out of hiding,

I needed to tempt him
with something really big.

Hank's prescription pad?

Gossip.

Oz thinks that pad has copies of all of
the meds that Hank has been prescribing

to the Hamptons elite.

Oz flipped over the chance of
getting his hands on it.

Emma. Do you know how many
laws you're breaking?

Not to mention rules
of common decency?

I was never going to
let it get that far.

I just needed to lure him out of hiding,
so that he would print a retraction.

Okay. I'm a little worried about
how good you are at this.

I am telling you guys the truth.

I promise.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

DIVYA: Chase?
Yeah.

DIVYA: Hi.
Hi.

Uh, we have good news.

Your blood results
came back clean.

No rheumatological issues.

No nutritional deficiencies.

That is good news.
In fact, that's great news.

Maybe even the best
news I've ever heard today.

Okay. I'll check the reading.
Where is the air monitor?

On my coveralls.
Oh. I have good news, too.

I finished my boat.

Oh. No, no, no. Not that one.

I'm still waiting for
the epoxy to kick.

That's when it stops being
sticky to the touch. Anyway,

I finished my HMS Sussex.

Eighty g*ns,


sank off the coast of
Gibraltar in 1694.

And all but two of the


That's terrible.

JEREMIAH: No toxic
vapor readings.

I forgot how much
I loved building models.

Ron and I used to build models
all the time when we were kids.

But then we started
making real boats.

And then, he went off
to sea in a real boat.

The irony, right?

Uh, technically,
that's not irony.

Suddenly, you seem to be a bit
more upbeat about Ron leaving.

Because it's awesome.

Yeah.

Chase seems altered.

It's euphoria.
It could be neurological.

Chase?
Yeah.

Put down the Sussex.
Okay.

We are going to have to take you
to the hospital to get a head CT.

Yes. That is awesome!

Let's go.

Come on. I'll drive.

The sky is such a different
blue to the water.

HANK: I guess you'd call
the sky more of a sky blue

and the water
more of a greenish blue.

At least today.

Are you saying I'm going to have to learn
a whole new vocabulary by tomorrow?

Yep. Afraid so.

Look, there's a lot to learn.

Be patient. I know that's
not your strong suit.

But I love a challenge.

Finish what you were
saying about Emma.

Oh.

I do not like this frowning face as
much as I like your smiling face.

I'm sorry. It's just,

when I watch Emma and Cinco,
they seem like such great kids.

But it's hard to ignore the evidence
right in front of my face, you know?

Well, I know what you mean.

You've told me
five times already

that these dark stripes are
just spaces between the boards,

but they still feel like
something I should step over.

Wait a second.
I'm sorry.

Are you admitting I was right and
you should have brought your cane,

or saying I could be making this
Emma situation worse than it is?

[CHUCKLING] The latter.
Ah. Okay.

I like Emma, but I also remember
what I was like as a teenager.

On your left.
[GASPS]

Your favorite sport in action.

[SIGHING] They're going so fast.

Those bikes are moving
considerably slower

than you were
in the mountains of France.

Well, speed sure looks
more dangerous than it feels.

I don't think I'll ever get
on another bike again.

Oh, I seriously doubt that.

But maybe you should go back to
the hotel and rest for a while.

You've done a lot
for your first day.

Yeah. Yeah,
please take me back.

Eyes on the drop.

Hey.

Okay. We're going to get this guy.
I can feel it.

Paige is going to get the
whole thing on video. Yeah.

Good. But first, I'm going
to tell him off myself.

I don't think you
should approach him.

Yeah. We know nothing
about this guy.

He could be dangerous. He
managed to get HankMed sued.

I know.

And I know that outing Oz
isn't going to fix everything,

but hopefully it's going to
make up for the stupid mistake

of getting involved with
him in the first place.

Why did you?

I mean, the money
was part of it.

I made more than I
ever did waitressing.

Enough to buy my first car.

You're getting a car?
Yeah.

We could have
helped you with that.

I've never had my
own car before.

And this way, I'm not going to
have to bum rides from people.

And AutoTrader made it so easy that I
didn't have to ask anybody for help.

See?

I just typed in all the features
I wanted, and then I saved it,

and I waited for them to send me an
alert when my perfect car came through.

Which it did.

Huh.
That's cool.

[CELL PHONE BEEPING]

[SIGHING]

Well. There's always tomorrow.

Maybe.

But what if Oz
is just playing me?

What if...

What if he never shows up, and I
can't make this up to you guys?

I feel like I have just
made one mistake after another

since I got here.

Everybody makes mistakes.

Emma, you're family. You don't
have to make anything up to us.

Yeah.

What about to Hank?

Yeah.

JEREMIAH: Thanks for
doing the follow-up.

Uh, no, it's good that you
admitted Chase to the hospital.

I think until we, uh, figure out
what's causing his altered behavior,

then he shouldn't be
working with chemicals.

Okay. Thank you,
Divya.

Thank you for coming, Doctor.

May I offer you a coffee or tea?

Something herbal, perhaps?

Do you have Ovaltine?

I think that can be arranged.

Hansel.

Ovaltine.

[SPEAKING GERMAN]

So, I imagine you're wondering
why I called you here. Yeah?

[SIGHING]

[CELL PHONE CHIMING]

AUTOMATED VOICE: You have
a message from Hank.


HANK: Hey, it's me. Uh, listen. I'm
almost finished with this patient.


I'm sorry if I sounded
over-protective when I left.


I just... I don't like the idea
of you venturing out alone yet.


As if I could stop you.

Anyway, I'll be back soon.

[GRUNTING]

I thought he just had
carpal tunnel or something.

But now, his pinkie and ring
finger are, like, totally numb.

That is not normal. How are
those needles going to help?

Is he going to lose his fingers?

Uh, that's unlikely.

Those two fingers you just
mentioned are connected

to the ulnar nerve.

This EMG will tell us
if it's damaged.

Okay. You're going to
feel a little pinch.

Okay. I think Parker is hoping
for a horrible prognosis,

so she can scare our parents
into coming home.

Actually, I already
called both of them.

Mom is only seven
hours away, commercial.

And Dad and Stepmonster
have the jet.

My baby sister is still
a bit of an optimist.

Look, Parker, if they didn't
come home on my birthday

when I was drugged out of my mind
for all the Hamptons to see,

I don't think a little carpal tunnel
is going to interrupt their vacays.

Will you please just
tell her that I'll be fine?

Well, I want a neurologist
to go over these results.

But from what I can see,
there's no nerve damage.

Uh, Parker, could you
give us a minute alone?

Oh, my God. Is it, like, sexually
transmitted or something?

Never mind. Don't tell me.
I can't handle the truth.

Come on. Go.

So.

Numbness can have many causes
and may resolve on its own.

But recreational drug use

can result in numb extremities,

which could signal serious
neurological problems.

So, you've got to be
honest with me, Cinco.

Do you do dr*gs?

No.

I don't. Okay?

I... I really was dosed by
someone else at that party,

when...

...you had to inject my ass
in order to save my ass.

Okay.

Okay. I'll schedule an MRI
for first thing tomorrow.

Thank you.
You got it.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Charlotte?

You okay?

I, uh... I called a couple
of times and I didn't, uh...

Charlotte?

Charlotte.

Oh, God. Charlotte?

She's two days post-op.

She's lost a significant
amount of blood

and could be going into
hemorrhagic shock.

You should do a CBC,
PTI-PTT, ABG,

and type and crossmatch four
units and a head and neck CT.

Yeah, she may
need a transfusion.

Wait. Wait. No. No.
No transfusions.

My ophthalmologist said something
about them being bad for me.

Yes, a transfusion could
activate your immune system,

increasing the odds of your body
rejecting the corneal transplant.

But, you may need more blood, and right
now, saving your life is more important.

Listen. I know you're scared,

but it's the right thing to do.

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Hey, Ev.
Um, so, listen,

it took all night, but
Charlotte's stabilized.

It was, uh, it was a rough one.

Anyway, sorry about having to
cancel the Emma summit last night,

but let's try to make
it work tonight.

Okay? I will see you later.

EMMA: Hank, I was just
about to call you.

Cinco's worse, he can't
feel his hand and...

Uh, you went into my bag?

Where did you get these?

You mean Labby's
heartworm pills?

We got them at the kennel
where he was boarded

and now I'm selling them
on the doggie black market.

[SIGHING]

Oh, my God. You really think I'm some
kind of horrible person, don't you?

No. No. I don't think you're
some kind of horrible person,

but you've done some things that are
more serious than you may know.

Like taking my...

Wait a second. Cinco's
dog has heartworm?

Yeah, why?

And Cinco's worse. Yeah.
He can't feel his hand.

Wait. Do you think those
two things are connected?

I do. And if I'm right, we may
not have much time. Come on.

[GRUNTING]
HANK: Cinco. Hey.

Let me take a look.
Okay. Okay.

It looks weird and
it feels weirder.

Okay. It's cold,
and there's no pulse.

Hank, look, I do not want
to lose my hand. Okay?

Cinco, don't worry. Hank's
going to figure it out.

Well, can you figure
it out faster, please?

I'm trying. Stay calm,
you're going to be...

Wait. Here.
What?

Dirofilariasis.
What is that?

You have the same
thing Labby does.

Come here.
Have a seat.

Uh. Wait, wait, wait.
I have. I have heartworm?

Yeah, well, something like that.

We're going to take care
of it right now.

How?

Just give me your hand.

Put it right there.

Okay.

And this is betadine.

Okay.

What's that?
Lidocaine.

I'm going to numb your wrist.
[SIGHING]

Okay.

You're going to feel a pinch.
Okay.

[GRUNTING]

Okay.

Now, I'm going to
make an incision.

How is that possible?

Cinco and his dog must have
both gotten insect bites

at the same time,
probably months ago.

That's how heartworm
is transmitted.

In dogs, the larvae migrate
to the heart and vessels.

In humans, they stay put.

Uh, guys, you may not
want to watch this.

In humans, they
stay put and what?

They grow into

this.

[CINCO GRUNTING]

Oh, my God.

Is that a worm? It's a worm.

[STAMMERING] Can you just
get it out of me, please?

Yes. I need to go slow. I don't want
it to break and leave any in you.

Okay, that's fine. Take your
time but just get it out.

I will.

See, the insects
transmit the eggs,

and this worm grew large enough

that it was pressing on
your ulnar nerve,

causing pain and numbness.

Until finally,
it pressed on your artery,

cutting off the circulation.

And...
Oh, my God.

...there's the worm.

That thing was living
in my wrist?

That was living in your wrist.

That's so...
Cool.

Okay, that's not at all
what I was going to say,

but props on not
vomiting, I guess.

Hank, thank you so much
for figuring this out.

You're welcome.

I guess it's a good thing
you went snooping in my bag.

Well, yeah. But this is
getting to be a bad habit.

You guys coming to
my rescue again.

The dynamic duo.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

Why did he check himself
out of the hospital?

And not answer his phone?

Maybe he has a deadline on that
boat that he's trying to finish.

Or not.

Chase. Why didn't you stay at the
hospital and finish being evaluated?

Oh. Because I felt better.

And then I came here,
and I didn't.

How do you feel now?

Oh, uh, heavy and tired.

Have you been
working on your boat?

Yeah. A little.

But then, I got, uh, dizzy

and decided to sit down.

It's just so nice out
here in the open water.

I just wanted to lower the main

and drift for a while.

Chase, we have to
get you back to the hospital

as soon as we can.

He's seizing.

This doesn't make sense. He's showing
symptoms of organophosphate poisoning,

and he's been exposed to styrene from
the resin he uses to build his boats.

But the air monitor didn't show
any chemical concentration.

The reading could be a mistake.

The mask could be defective.
I'll try to find it,

and call 911.

Chase was poisoned,
but not by the styrene.

It was the model glue.

So, they're going to debride and
irrigate the affected area,

which will prevent any infection
or foreign body reaction.

So, basically, they're going to
de-wormify your dirofilariasis.

Show off.
[CHUCKLING]

And the whole thing shouldn't
take more than an hour.

Well, Emma, if you want to bolt
from Worm Man, now's your chance.

[CHUCKLING] Well, I've
dated a guy with a tattoo

and another one
with a nose ring,

but never one
who could spawn worms.

So, I think you're a keeper.

Spawn worms.
[CHUCKLING]

Okay, this stays between us.

Oh, yeah. You, me,
and Instagram.

Just kidding.

Oh. What about Parker?

She would want to know.
Especially not Parker.

Let's just wait until
I'm out of surgery.

I don't know if you've noticed, but
she can be a little high strung.

This could push her into
a full blown breakdown

and her therapy bills are
already high enough as it is.

Okay. Well, in that case,

it will just be me and the
worm in the waiting room.

I'm keeping him as a pet.

And I named him Cinco Junior.

Which, I guess,
is technically Seis.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

[CELL PHONE BEEPING]

Oh. I actually
have to go.

Someone's new car is here.

Oh. But I'll be back by
the time you wake up.

Okay.

Hey, where are they
dropping it off?

Uh, by the Jitney Stop.

Oh. Great.
I'll give you a lift.

You're busy.

It's fine. It's, like,


I'll take a cab.

Emma, I really want
to believe you.

I really want you
to believe me, too.

But for some reason, I don't think
that's ever going to happen.

Look, I really have to go.

It wasn't the big boats, Chase.

It was the little ones.

Yes, if you had worn
your mask and monitor

while building your
model boats inside

as you did with your
larger ones outside,

you wouldn't have been
poisoned by the glue.

Maybe I went too far,
building the entire fleet.

Maybe you were
missing your friend.

Maybe I like building boats.

Maybe we're not
getting anywhere.

I looked up Ron's vlog.
Oh.

I would like to
show you something.

Look at this.

It's history.

Following the route Odysseus took
back to Ithaca after the Trojan w*r.


Chase, you out there?

You see this, buddy?

It's better than anything
I ever imagined.


I wish you were here
to experience it.


Yeah, and I wish you were here
to help me run the business.

We built this place together.

And then, he just took off
and left me here alone.

It's messed up. I never would have
done anything like that to him.

Dreams can change.
People can change.

Ron looks happy.

Yeah, well, one of us should be.

I wonder if a friendship can

be like an organism
and adapt to adversity.

Sometimes friends go away, or
something changes between you.

But if you're really friends, maybe the
relationship can grow back stronger

where it was broken.

Like a bone.

That's really

nice.

Yes. It is.

That was very
profound, Jeremiah.

I know that our
friendship has changed.

But I, I do hope...

I won't get on a boat
and sail away.

I'm glad to hear that.

Oh. Speaking of
surprises, um...

I'd like to know
what you think of Boris.

Boris?

That's a very opaque question.

Why do you ask?

EVAN: Our triangulation
is perfect.

I don't see how Oz can escape.
I don't see how he can escape.

Outing Oz isn't all
this is about.

I know.

What else is this about?

Gaining Emma's trust.

And her gaining ours.

Helping her turn things around.

It will be easier for her to stop the
lying if she knows we support her.

Of course. Yeah.

[CELL PHONE BEEPING]

It's Emma.

Look, look, look.

Film. Film.

Hey!

Parker?

You're Oz?

Why would you be Oz?

[SOBBING] Ever since
I was a kid,

I've been a sucker for gossip.

Yeah, you are
our mother's daughter.

And you know how much
she loves SnarkHampton.

Oh, so, it's Mom's fault.

PARKER: I'm not
saying that.

Good, because you did it.

Parker, what were you thinking?

At first, I did it because
I knew Mom would read it.

And then, she became such a fan.

And she calls me every
morning to talk about it.

She calls you?

We talk about the site

and other stuff.
We've been talking, Cinco.

Really talking.

For the first time.

You got Mom's attention.

But...

...you did it at a lot of
people's expense.

I'm sorry. I didn't want
to post the picture.

But then, I thought
if Mom saw it, she'd show up.

Please. Don't hate me,
William.

You're all I've got.

Come here.

I've got to say, you went
about it pretty brilliantly.

I mean, I always knew you were smart.
I didn't know you were so sneaky.

Maybe I've found my calling.

Oh. Not a chance in hell.

We'll find another way for you to
channel your wicked brilliance.

And, hey,

if you call me William
again, I'll k*ll you.

[CHUCKLING]

Hi.
Hi.

How was the big talk with Emma?

Oh, it's tonight.

She had a busy day,

but I think once she and I can sit face
to face, we can really start talking.

What I wouldn't give for a busy day,
instead of stuck in this hospital bed.

[CHUCKLING] It won't
be for long.

And...

I have something
for when you get out.

Presents? Why didn't
you say so?

That's right.
Get in there.

My own cane that I've used for six years.
Why, you shouldn't have.

[CHUCKLING]

The box is new. So...

Look, I know it's not
exactly romantic,

but your recovery is
going to take patience.

This time, you can't push
yourself too hard too fast.

Hey. I would love
to take it easy,

but, you know,
my business has...

Stop. Just...
Just stop it.

Close your eyes.

Really? You're going to
steal my move now?

Yeah, that's right.
I'm stealing your move.

Close them.

And listen.

I know you're a speed demon.

It's one of the many
things I love about you.

I don't want to discourage that.

I just want you to be patient.

And I want to be with you
every step of the way.

Can I open my eyes now?

Yes. You can open
your eyes.

I heard you.

Thank you.

That is the single most repulsive
thing I have ever seen.

I know, but isn't it amazing?

Lest we forget that Emma's brother
is a doctor. [EMMA LAUGHING]

Nerves of steel
run in the family.

They do, actually. Yes.

Yeah. About that,

I'm really sorry about how the
picture of Cinco's butt played out.

I never meant for your brother
to get in so much trouble.

Yeah. Yeah, I know. I am just
really glad that it's over.

How did you get that picture?

Emma took it. She was
my biggest source.

Is that the reason
you even came to my party?

No. No. No. It's not.

No, but a photo op
was part of it.

I...

I guess you're not that different
from the girls around here after all.

I don't know which
concerns me more,

that we're being summoned to see Boris, or
that you know what's going on and I don't.

I think you know which
concerns you more.

Patience, Henry.
All in due time.

I'd be a lot more patient if you'd
just tell me why we're here.

No. I think you'll both
be in for a surprise.

Huh?

Ah. Here we are.

Jeremiah.

Hello, Evan.

Thank you all for coming.

BORIS: Let's get
right to it, shall we?

HankMed has been operating on
this property for several years,

but I'm only now seeing

it's not just the
sum of the parts,

but the parts themselves that
make your company so special.

Miss Katdare,

I am grateful to you for introducing
me to the notion of orphan diseases.

You're welcome.

And Doctor...
Jeremiah,

your most thorough explanation of how
research centers operate was inspiring,

to say the least.
I thank you.

Oh, my pleasure, Boris.

Evan R. Lawson. I'd like to
thank you for bringing me your

HankLab business opportunity.

Your due diligence and attention
to detail was most impressive.

No problem.

Hank.

Let me thank you for

everything you have
done for me and my family.

You're very welcome.

I am purchasing Hamptons Heritage
from Symphony Health Systems.

The paperwork should
be done shortly.

And...
EVAN: Wait, wait, wait.

You're buying the hospital?

The whole hospital?
Yeah.

As of this Monday.

And I would like all of you

to serve on the hospital's
Board of Directors.

I would need to rely on
your extensive knowledge.

And while I understand you all
have full-time employment,

this would entail
a generous stipend.

Jeremiah has already agreed.

Miss Katdare?

Thank you, Boris. It's quite
an offer, and an honor.

Excellent. Evan.
What do you say?

I say yes.

Hell, yes.

Hell, yes. And Hank?

Um... It is quite an offer.

And quite an amazing commitment
you've made to this community.

But I'm afraid my answer is no.

I'm sorry.

Yeah. Then, it would seem you are excused
from the remainder of this conversation.

Okay.

[LAUGHING]

Well, look at you.

Yeah. Look at me.

Who knew you had such
excellent taste in cars?

I thought you would like it.

I do.

I figured that your car brought
you a pretty good life,

and I'm just hoping for
a little bit of the same.

Well, I have no doubt it will.

Listen, I'd love for us
to talk about life.

We need to clear some things up.

Yeah. Yeah, I would love that.
That sounds great.

Oh, do you mean right now?

I did. I did. But you seem pretty excited
to take your new car for a spin.

So, uh, let's have dinner
later. We can talk then.

Great. Evan will be
able to be there, too.

Sounds good. Thanks.

Yeah.

[ENGINE STARTING]

Okay. Bye.

Emma, your seatbelt!
Got it.

[SIGHING]

Hi, this is Emma.
Leave a message.


Emma, dinner's here!
[SIGHING]

And after our Emma summit,

you and I are going to
have a Hank summit

so you can tell me why you
turned Boris down. Okay?

Hi. This is Emma.
Leave a message.


Damn it.

Everything okay?

Emma took her new car for a spin.
She didn't come back.

So? Did you call her?

Yeah. She's not
answering her cell.

Let's go to her room.

I did. It's empty.

Huh?
All her stuff is gone.

And so is she.
