Could I get another Bloody Mary?
No ice please.

That poor woman.
Flying and on her feet all day. Terrible.

-Stewardess? When you get a chance?
-Mom, no, not stewardess. Not stewardess.

You can't call them stewardesses.
They're flight attendants.

And I think we have to limit
on the Bloody Marys.

Hey? What is going on with you and dad?

Simple. He said I couldn't go and see
you and Brianna. I said I'm going.

Nothing's keeping me
from my granddaughter.

I left and here I am.

Your dad and I
are probably separated now. Who knows?

Mom, don't...

[flight attendant]
If there is a doctor on board,

would you please
press the call button above your seat?

Drew. You're a doctor.

I know. Just keep it down.

I'm sure there's
another one on board and I just...

-Nonsense. You help.
-No, mom, don't...

Yoo-hoo! My son here is a doctor,
right here. Dr. Drew Alister.

Drew, go help. Go see what she needs.

Honey, go. Go, go, go, go, go.
Dig-dig. Do your job, go.

Here he comes. He's coming.
Go, get 'em, babe.

He's so good, isn't he?

Lily, we really appreciate you being here.
It means a lot to us.

I just wish Drew and his dad
could find some common ground.

I'm gonna be honest with you, Rick.
This isn't easy for me either.

This is not something that someone from
my generation ever pictured for their son.

But I have a granddaughter now.

And there's nothing that's gonna
keep me from spending time with her.

Welcome, everyone, and thank you
for participating in this fundraiser

for the Society to End Cystic Fibrosis.

We got four different local hospitals
all competing to be the best shift.

Will it be the day shift
or the night shift?

Now let's get this gym jumping?

[day shift doctor] Hey, night shift.

How about a wager?
Loser works weekends for a month.

[scoffs]

[host] Ooh! And the day shift
takes a fall.

All right, how about
we make it interesting?

Say, for three months. Plus holidays.

-Three? You're on.
-Yeah.

-[Jordan giggles]
-Thanks, Jordan.

Finally get a chance
to work on my golf game.

Mouth-breather.

sh**t! Three months? Was that a good idea?

Are you worried? I mean, come on, look.
We have Kenny. Look at him. Look at him.

He is going to crush every event.

Has anybody seen Scott?

This was all his idea, he should be here
on his day off like the rest of us.

No, he had a work event,
he couldn't make it, but look.

Can you do me a little favor?

Scott's been working a lot,
and I don't want him to burn out.

So just... Will you keep an eye on him?

Yeah.

[Elise] I'm divorced.

I travel eight months out of the year,
I don't have time to go to bars

or meet someone at CrossFit.

-No.
-I do corporate restructuring.

-[Scott] Okay.
-So most of the men I meet, hate me,

because I'm either f*ring them, or telling
them how to do their jobs better.

[chuckles] Right, right, yeah. That's...

I could see how that would be
a relationship non-starter.

-Exactly.
-Yes.

You know, so Tinder makes it easy.

-[Scott] Right.
-To meet nice men.

-[Scott] Yeah.
-Like you.

Thank you.

And, um, what about you?

Me? Um...

I've been making some changes
in my life, I guess, you could say.

And just looking for
different ways to jump-start...

things.

But, uh, I'm not sure how.

Hmm. You're not.

-[Scott] No.
-Well,

we can either sit here
and order another espresso,

or we can just go back
to my hotel suite and have sex.

[playful music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[sighs]

[suspenseful music playing]

[sighs]

[T.C.] Hey, what are you doing?

Nothing.

Show me that.

[Amira] It's none of your business.

sh**ting up between your toes, I kind of
figured that makes it my business.

Why? Because we sleep together?
Don't confuse sex with intimacy.

Sorry, docs, we got incoming.
Two minutes out.

Okay.

[Erik] We got a penetrating
abdominal wound here.

[Steven groans]

Thank you. We'll take it from here.

-I'm Dr. Callahan, what's your name?
-Corporal Steven Mason.

Where are you from, Corporal?

Louisville, Kentucky.

Let's have a little look...

Whoa! Be careful, doc.
There's something you should know.

Just gonna have to check it out.

[groans loudly]

[Steven breathes rapidly]

Amira, you wanna tell everybody
to clear this place out?

If this goes off,
everybody within a 100 feet dies.

-[T.C.] Go.
-[Erik] Copy that.

[suspenseful music plays]

Thank you.

So, you weren't sick until take-off.
What'd you eat today?

Ham, eggs, coffee.

Check the toilet, it's all there.

Along with five vodkas and ice, I heard.

The Rangers swept the Pirates.
I was celebr-- [gags]

[vomits loudly]

Congratulations.
Sounds like food poisoning.

I've had food poisoning before.
It wasn't like this.

Okay.

My face and hands
are like pins and needles.

Okay, okay,
let's just take a seat, all right?

Doctor, doctor, can I talk to you?

Yeah.

We have a problem.
He's not the only sick passenger.

[passengers coughing and groaning]

[beeping]

[grunts]

[theme music playing]

[passengers coughing and gagging]

[vomiting loudly]

-Hey, are you feeling okay?
-Yeah, yeah...

-What is this?
-Acute gastro of some kind.

Like the cruise ship bug?

I don't know. There's no common thread.
There's not food, not travel.

Do you think it's airborne?

Well, if it is we're all in trouble.

Here, try to find
as many of these meds as you can.

The emergency med-kit's designed for
a few passengers, but nothing like this.

These are the last of the air sick bags.

We're six deep in the lavatories
and the man in 14A says he can't see.

-Okay.
-[Lily] Andrew.

-Yeah.
-Drew,

the man sitting behind me says
he feels like his teeth are falling out.

And his wife is scratching so hard,
her skin is bleeding. What's going on?

[commander] Go! Other side of the base.
I need everybody to get to the bunker.

Let's go! Come on! Go! Go!

Go!

Thank you.

What did the X-ray show?

-The warhead's still attached.
-[Steven] What?

-Am I gonna die?
-No, Corporal, you're not gonna die.

I don't wanna die today,

and I'm gonna stay with you.
We're in this together. Okay.

-Erik. Erik.
-I'm here.

-Call Jen for me. Call her.
-I will. I promise.

Time to rest, let's go to sleep.

-[Erik] EOD tech suiting up.
-Okay. Thank you.

How the hell was he brought in?
This is completely against protocol.

Well, I think our corps man here

decided not to tell
the evac team about the b*mb.

That's why they didn't leave him
on the side of the road to die.

[Amira] This is crazy.

If this grenade explodes
with the oxygen tanks,

it will level half the base.

[T.C.] He's here now.
Just wanna do our best to save his life.

Take over. Thank you.

-Are you sure you want to do this?
-Yes, I am.

Fine, I'll scrub in.

No, not until you tell me
what's going on with you.

I'm not gonna operate
with somebody I don't trust.

Look around, T.C. We're it.

You wanna save this guy's life,
then like it or not, I'm all you've got.

[dramatic music playing]

[loud cheering and applause]

[host] Oh! That's a big move,
right there, big move.

[beep]

[host] Boy! The night shift
is cooking with gas.

They've moved into second place.

Kenny puts the night shift
on the heels of Trinity Arms.

[indistinct talking and chuckling]

Tough day for everybody, huh?

-[Jordan] Yeah.
-[Kenny] Thanks for all the support.

Hey, man. Kenny,
I just wanted to say good luck.

Yeah. Good on me for being the staff mule.

Yo! Kenny! Your times are slipping,
you better move your ass.

You got to get your shorty
under control, man.

She's seriously getting on my last nerve.

Okay, man, that's just her.
You know how she is.

Yeah, but you gotta take it, man, I don't.

She's a slob.
She talks too much. She doesn't...

She doesn't put the toilet paper
back on the roll.

Half the time, she got you
running around like a chihuahua.

Look, she needs to start paying rent

if she's gonna be around
all the damn time, dude.

Actually, I was thinking about
asking her to move in.

Come on, man, here we go.

Paul's got his first real live girlfriend,
and he can't wait to play house.

Seriously, man, are you that whipped?
That's pathetic.

At least I have a girlfriend.
What about Krista? Or remember Gwen?

Is that who it was?

Well, maybe they would've stuck around
if I stood to inherit a hospital.

Right, right. Or you'd probably
just lose it, like you lost a gym, right?

Or that non-existent
football career you like to brag about.

Wanna make fun of my life, Kenny?
Who's sleeping on whose couch?

[host] Kenny Fournette
is up next at the starting line.

So that's how it is?

Okay.

You and your girl
want your place to yourselves?

You got it. I'm out.

[Kenny] You can run the next event too.

Keep your strength up, big boy.
You're gonna need it.

[both chuckle]

[Elise giggles]

[Scott chuckles]

[Elise laughs]

How exactly do you know
that I'm into this kind of thing?

Because I know men.

You're a surgeon.
You always have to be in control.

In bed, you want someone else
to take the reins.

[both gasp and sigh]

Top in the streets, bottom in the sheets.

-[sensuous music playing]
-[both gasping and sighing]

[gasps]

[laughs]

[pants] Was I that good?

Huh?

[Scott gasps]

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no.

[exhales]

[grunts]

[groans loudly]

[grunts]

[grunting]

[panting]

[beeping]

All right. Let's keep triage.
Getting sick people to the front.

Doctor, it's my stomach.
And I can't catch my breath.

Okay. Where does it hurt?

-Yeah, here.
-[Drew] Okay, lets-- Oh!

Wow! Okay, there we go. Okay.
Let's sit you down here.

-All right. How far along are you?
-Thirty seven weeks.

My OB told me not to fly.

But my husband's stuck
on a construction job.

I could not let him miss the first.
It's our first.

Oh! Congratulations.
Uh... And what was your name again?

Meghan Walters.

Meghan Walters, okay.
And you're not in labor now?

Now, I don't think so. Ow!

-That's where it hurts, right there?
-[groans] Uh-huh.

I'm gonna need the oxygen t*nk.

It's with the Rangers fan in back.

What about the oxygen masks on the plane.

We can only drop them in case
of an in-flight emergency.

I'm a cop. I'm calling this emergency.
Tell them to drop them.

Breathe in.

Doing okay. That's a stash.

[flight attendant] Ladies and gentlemen,

we are dropping the air masks,
per the doctor's request.

Please use them if you're
having trouble breathing.

Put this on, there you go.
Deep and steady breaths.

Help, he's not breathing. The Rangers fan.

Uh... Meghan, I'm gonna be right back.
Excuse me. Excuse me.

[Meghan breathes heavily]

Help me lay him down.
When was the last time you saw him move?

Ten, fifteen minutes ago.
I was watching him like you said.

I thought he was sleeping.

[Lily] What's going on? Is he okay, Drew?

It doesn't make sense. He was stable.

He hasn't had oxygen to his brain
for the past ten minutes. He's...

There's nothing we can do.

The sick passengers,
are they all gonna die?

[dramatic music plays]

[machines beeping]

Okay, you're gonna grasp the tail-fins,

and slowly unscrew
the sustainer engine counter-clockwise.

Easy, easy.
You wanna do this nice and slow.

The tip's live.

These RPG warheads are designed
to detonate on impact, so...

One cough or bad bump, and that's it.

Also, I hope all
the propellant's been expended.

[T.C.] And if it hasn't?

Then that cauterizing pen
ignites it and boom.

We're all pink mist.

[Elise gasps]

Hey.

What happened?

You fainted from an arrhythmia.

I used this ice to slow your heart rate
enough to break the tachycardia.

It's called a vagal maneuver.

[knocking at door]

-[woman] Paramedics.
-It's open.

[paramedic grunts]

[sighs]

[sighs loudly] Dr. Clemmens...

[Scott exhales deeply]

Come on.

[baby crying]

Hey. Update from the pilot.
He's getting approval to divert to Dallas.

Okay. Good.

How's she doing?

Scared. Like the rest of them.

I'm still trying to find
the rest of those meds.

Yeah, whatever you can find.

Meghan, you have
a condition called pre-eclampsia

that's endangering you and your baby.

I have to lower your blood pressure.
Gonna give you some nitroglycerin.

Just put it on your tongue,
it will dissolve.

It will also help with your breathing.

Anybody, do you have Zofran...
Buddy, you might want to put that away.

[baby screams]

Hey, guys,
I'm looking for specific medications,

Zofran, Aspirin, acetaminophen, anybody.

I got you a cold compress.
I thought it might help.

No, take it off.

-What?
-It's too hot.

No, sweetie, it's cold, it's not hot.

-Burnt my skin.
-Drew?

This woman says that
this cold compress is hot.

-[Lily] Does that mean anything?
-[Drew] I'll be right back.

[suspenseful music playing]

Okay, no, that's cold.

Uh, ask a few of the other sick passengers
if that feels hot or cold.

What are you thinking?

I'll know in a minute.

Uh... Can you get Zofran for Meghan?
For her nausea. Thanks.

They all say the same thing,
that it's hot, burning. What is it?

It's cold allodynia.
It's something cold that feels hot.

That's associated with Ciguatera poison.
It's from eating contaminated reef fish.

[Rick] Is it fatal?

Not usually, but alcohol
does amplify the effect.

The guy who'd been drinking all day,
that's what k*lled him.

So this is seafood poisoning?

Symptoms match the Ciguatoxin.

Which is weird.
They didn't serve any fish on-board.

How did this happen?

I don't know, but at least we
know now what we're dealing with.

[dramatic, suspenseful music playing]

[machine beeping]

[music intensifies]

[T.C.] Amira. Your hand.

[Amira] Uh...

-It's nothing.
-[T.C.] You didn't feel that?

[Amira] I just caught the glove there.
I'm fine.

Third unit of RBCs are in.
Focus on what you're doing.

[T.C.] Yes, please.

No propellant.

Okay, that was the easy part.
Now is when things get interesting.

The expl*sive part's still in him.

[host] Night shift. Better move your ass.

Who's up next?

That seems really tall.

Think I'm getting my period.

I have this inner ear thing.

-Seriously? None of you?
-[Cain] I'll do it.

-Really?
-Yeah.

I'm not gonna let you down like Kenny did.

Uh, it's a bit more
complicated than that, but...

I'm glad someone's showing up.

[Jordan breathes heavily]

Go for it.

You need to go for Cain
before you melt those Lulus.

Yeah, Jordan.
He's cute and totally into you.

Yeah, I'm done dating in the hospital.

[loud cheering]

[beep]

[loud cheering]

-Paul?
-Hmm?

What's up with you?

That crap you said to Kenny
was way out of line.

He was saying hurtful things about you.
I was defending your honor.

[sarcastically] My honor? What is this,
the '50s? Do I look like Sandra Dee?

I can defend my own honor,
thank you very much.

-Okay, well--
-No, I'm not finished.

Roommates fight, that's normal.
But I love Kenny.

Do I push his buttons? Yes.
But I push everybody's buttons.

So what? You can't go nuclear
on your friends, Paul.

Or guess what? You won't have any.

Seriously, if we lose this because of
some petty BS between you and Kenny...

[Jordan] You better hope
Cain is good at this stuff.

[host] Dr. Diaz, up next.

[ambulance siren wails]

Is all this really necessary? I feel fine.
I don't know why this happened.

Well, that's what we need to figure out.
Why this happened.

Sorry, Scott. I gotta get her intake info.

[sighs] Do we really need to do that
right this second?

I'm already breaking protocol
by doing this in the ambulance.

Okay.

-[Mollie] Patient's first and last name?
-[Scott] Uh...

Elise?

-Schaffer...
-[Elise giggles]

No... Sawyer...

-[Elise chuckles] Shaw.
-Shaw.

Elise Shaw.

And where did the incident occur?

The Merkeba.

[amusing instrumental music playing]

Um, and what was transpiring
at the time of the emergency?

We... were...

Having sex.

[Scott chuckles]

[whispers] Having sex.

Ooh! You have a ligature mark.
Any other injuries to report?

No, I'm fine, thank you. Anything else?

-I'll get it from Sara.
-Great.

[thunder rumbling]

[pilot] Ladies and gentlemen,
we're running into some turbulence.

Please take your seats
and fasten your seat belts.

Oh, Drew! Drew!

That's eclampsia. Hold her.
All right. I got to stop the seizure.

The oxygen masks have
about 15 minutes of air left.

Okay. Thanks.
I gotta give her some Valium.

Hey, I just spoke to the pilot.
We can't divert because of bad weather.

-How long till we land?
-Forty five minutes to an hour.

This baby's heart-rate is too slow.

Tell the pilot that we don't have time
to fly around the storm.

This baby could die
if we don't land as soon as possible.

[sighs] Come on.

This can't wait.

Can't wait. For it to have a chance,
it's gotta come out now.

I've got to do an emergency C-section.

[thunder rumbling]

Oh, God!

[machine beeping]

Okay, that's good.

Now very carefully,
you're gonna slip both hands

underneath that housing and lift it out.

Be sure to keep your fingers
away from the tip.

-One bad touch--
-And we'll all become pink mist, I know.

[suspenseful music playing]

[T.C. gasps] It's arterial blood.

Pressure of the RPG must be
keeping it to a trickle.

Okay, corps man. Suction.

Amira, I need you to clamp off the artery.

Amira, he's beginning to bleed out.
Clamp off the artery.

I'm trying. I can't...

-I can't move my hand.
-[machine flatlining]

[T.C.] He's coding, Amira.
Clamp off the artery, now!

I can't do this. I'm sorry, T.C.

[T.C.] Corporal Erik, I need you
to push one milligram of epi.

[flatlining continues]

[machine beeps]

[T.C.] Okay, we got a pulse.

-[Amira] I'll get more blood.
-[T.C.] No, you're done.

-[Amira] But you need me.
-[T.C.] No,

I needed you to clamp off the artery.
What else haven't you told me?

If I can't trust you,
you need to get out. Go.

[T.C.] Okay, you're up. All right.

I need you to... suction.
When I remove the RPG,

I need you to clamp off the artery.
Can you do that?

Okay, on three. One... two... three.

[suspenseful music playing]

[T.C. exhales deeply]

[EOD tech] I've got it.

[T.C.] Okay, now why don't you just
get that damn thing out of here?

[sighs in relief]

Nice job.

Hey, look at this.
The same night shift is cooking with gas.

They have moved into third place.

Cain Diaz is resuscitating
his team back to life.

Whoa, nice job. Way to stay
in the middle of the pack.

[day shift doctor]
Who's that in second place?

[scoffs] Oh! That would be the day shift.
Feel free to cancel your holiday plans.

You know what? Let's make it six months.

Six months? Really?

You're on. That's even better.

[Jordan scoffs]

That guy is kind of a d*ck.

Don't look at me.
She lives with two army guys.

-Hey, what happened?
-Hey.

Oh! Old soccer injury.

-All right. Let me check you out.
-[grunts] Okay.

It's a little higher up.

-[Jordan] How does that feel?
-[Cain] Yeah, better.

[Jordan] Can you hand me some ice.

-[Jordan] Yeah, it feels a little tight.
-[Cain] Yeah.

[Cain gasps in pain]

Here. Just put this on and pressed.

Yeah, well, what about the competition?
I can't go anymore.

Don't worry about it.
We'll figure it out, okay?

Okay.

[thunderclap]

Mom, go ask for scissors, bulb suction,

and anything that can be used
to soak up blood.

Diapers, maxipads, whatever.

Rick, check the back.
See if they have warm towels and utensils?

What happened?

It's okay, Meghan. You had a seizure.

A seizure? Oh, my... Is my baby okay?

Your baby's not getting enough oxygen.
Okay, we need to deliver it immediately.

I need to do an emergency
C-section on you.

Now? No. I want my husband with me.

Meghan, for the sake of you
and your baby, we gotta do this now.

-Rick, get her up.
-Okay.

I'm going to give you a nerve block
with a local anesthetic.

I got it from this medical kit.

Now, it's gonna numb your abdominal wall.

[Meghan gasps in pain]

Okay. Hang on, all right,
Let's put her back down.

[Meghan whimpers]

I wanna be awake to see my baby.

How's this?

-[thunder rumbles loudly]
-[all gasp]

Mom, start cleaning the spoons
with alcohol swabs.

Okay. I got this from the pilot.

Um... Hey, hand me that mug.

-[Drew] What are you doing?
-Ceramic works like a whetstone.

Where'd you learn that? Ranger school?

Food network.

Have you ever done a C-section?

Not at 30,000 feet in turbulence.

-Drew, you can do this.
-[Lily] Yeah.

Listen to your husband.
You can do anything you set your mind to.

How can I help?

[Drew] Okay, I need you to...

Whoa! Whoa! Here, Valium.

Yeah.

I'm gonna need you to use these spoons
like retractors to hold the skin open.

Mom, there's gonna be a lot of blood.
Feel free to leave.

Please, I delivered
your Aunt Peggy in a snowstorm.

This isn't anything I haven't seen before.

[thunder rumbling loudly]

[chuckles] Well?

So, your echo and your labs are normal.

Oh. Thank god.
I admit, you made me nervous.

I know, but your EKG
on the ambulance showed AVNRT.

I'd recommend doing some more tests.

Can you do them?
I mean, I know we just met, but...

I trust you.

Yeah, I can do them.

Do you mind if I give you some advice?

Sure.

You're an addict, right?

[slow dramatic music plays]

[sighs]


-How did you...
-Problem is, you guys deny your addiction.

But part of the addiction,
the obsessiveness,

is what makes you so successful.

Uh-huh.

Your addiction isn't a weakness, Scott.

And it's starving.

You need a way to feed your need
without using dr*gs or alcohol.

I have no idea
where you're going with this.

[sensuous music playing]

I know what I feel coming off you, Scott.

It's hunger.

And there are a lot of healthy
and fun ways to satisfy it.

If you're interested.

Do you have an extra key?

I do.

We're getting ready
to head into the relay showdown,

and this competition is tight.

Oh... It's my bad. I know a few...

-Kenny. Hi.
-I don't wanna hear it, man.

Okay, well, you're gonna, man.
Look, I was a d*ck, okay?

I was wrong,
I said things I shouldn't have.

I was so worried about Shannon
being upset over what you were saying,

and afraid she might leave
that I didn't think about the fact

that I could lose
your friendship in the process.

Look, you're my friend, Kenny.

My best friend.
And I don't want to lose that.

I'm sorry, man. Really, I'm sorry.

Would you mind grabbing me some Cheetos?

-Sure.
-Yeah? Thank you.

You're an idiot.

You know that?

Yeah, I do.

Apology accepted.

It's cool, man. Don't worry about it.

Great. That is... Thank you.

So, now that we're besties again,
could you do me a tiny favor,

and maybe, like, come back to competition,

since Cain's out, and help us win it?
That'd be great.

Whoa, wait, that's what this is about?
So you only cared about the contest?

-No. No, no, no.
-This conversation...

It's not like I only cared about, like...

[scoffs] I'm just messing with you, man.
I owed you that one.

Yes.

Of course, I'll come back.
Show 'em all how it's done.

Okay, okay, great.

[rumbling]

[passengers gasping and exclaiming]

-[thunderclap]
-[screaming]

[dramatic music playing]

[Rick] Whoa! Whoa!

[Drew] Get the gauze.

Gauze, gauze...

Uh, I need something
to cauterize this wound.

Would a vape work?

Perfect, yeah.

I'm bleeding. Is it the baby?

Baby's gonna be fine.
You're gonna be okay.

Drew, here.

Put pressure on there.

Okay. Come on. All right.

There we go. Okay.

Hold on.

Okay, Meghan. We're almost done here.

Okay. Okay.

All right. Use the spoons.
All right, hold the tissue open.

-Mom, pull down.
-Okay.

-Rick, you pull up.
-[Rick] Okay.

Keep that open,
I gotta make an incision into the uterus.

[suspenseful music playing]

[grunts]

[EOD tech] Fire in the hole!

[loud expl*si*n]

[melancholy music plays]

[sighs]

sh**ting up earlier.
Patchy numbness, weakness and tremors.

How long have you had MS?

A while.
I've been controlling it with steroids.

[sighs] Come back to the U.S. with me.
I can get you the best treatment.

[Amira sighs]

I just want to do my work.

That's all that matters. I'm here now.
I'm no good to anyone in a hospital bed.

You were no good to anyone today.

I realized that.

The night shift
has the final run of the day.

The obstacle relay.

The day shift in first place.

The night shift has to post
a time of less than two minutes.

Or they could be working weekends
the next six months.

Can they pull together as a team?

Ready! First up, Dr. Shannon Rivera.

[crowd cheering loudly]

[beep]

[host] Shannon putting that mean lean
on the lily pad.

Now onto the balance beam.

She's making great time.

A minute, forty-five left.
The night shift better pick up the pace.

Okay. Jordan is halfway through
the hurdle. Look at her go.

Jocelyn on to the rope climb.

She is really making up
some time for the night shift.

Paul on to the horizontal tunnel.

They really have
to start picking it up now.

That clock is tick-tick ticking
for the night shift.

They better hit that beep button.

Now Paul tags Kenny for the last leg.

Ooh! Kenny working the cargo net.

-[Jordan] Go, Kenny.
-[Shannon] You got this.

[host] Time is running out
for the night shift.

Twenty one seconds left.

Kenny is moving
through the vertical ladder.

Now onto the final obstacle.

[crowd cheering]

[beep]

[host] With one second left,
the night shift wins!

What an incredible run.

[Kenny] That's what
I'm talking about, baby!

We could not have done that without you.

-Thank you.
-You did great.

[host] Hey, get over here.

Congratulations, my man,
you had one hell of a day today.

-Yeah, it was a team effort.
-[Cain] Hey, guys.

Multiple cases of ciguatera
including one fatality

on an inbound flight from Pittsburgh.

SAM's getting the lion's share.
We're all being called in.

-Isn't that Drew's flight?
-Yeah. It's okay.

Your dad is gonna be all right.

Guess we didn't blow up.

[T.C.] Not for lack of trying.

You're going to be okay,
Steven, you're going home.

But... No big meals for a while.

I'm just happy to be alive.

Mm-hmm. [chuckles]

Thank you.

Yeah.

You know, this is my fiancée, Jen.

We've been together since middle school.

You know, when I thought
I was gonna die out there,

all I wanted was to see her face,
one last time.

Believe me, doc,

the minute I get off the plane,
I am marrying this girl.

Life is way too short
to put off what matters.

Couldn't agree more.

[Drew] Extending the incision.

All right. Opening up the membrane.

[groans in pain]

I see the shoulders. Okay.

Come on.

I can't get my hand around the head.

-Uh...
-What's happening?

It's okay, Meghan, you're doing great.

Mom, give Rick your spoon, okay?
I need your help.

Put your hand on her belly,
right where I put mine. Right there.

Feel the shoulders?
You gotta push up. Okay, yep.

[Meghan screams in pain]

-[Drew] Okay, okay.
-Oh, God, that hurts.

Your uterus is contracting.

The nitroglycerin. Bottle right there.

-Breathe. Breathe it out. Okay.
-[Meghan gasping in pain]

[breathing loudly]

Take that. Okay.

-[Drew] Breathe. Slow, slow. Breathe out.
-[Meghan breathes loudly]

There we go.

Uterus is relaxing. Okay?

All right, mom,
you ready to get this baby out?

-Yeah.
-There we go.

Okay.

[Meghan screams and whimpers]

Here it comes.

Let's get the diaper pads
and the blankets down over there.

Come on, come on.

Okay.

[baby crying]

[sighs in relief]

-[Drew] Rick. Clamps. We need...
-Hair clips.

Mom, nice.

[pilot] Ladies and gentlemen,
we've made it through the bad weather.

We will begin our final descent
shortly into San Antonio.

-You wanna do the honors?
-Yeah.

-Uh... Kn*fe.
-[Drew] Kn*fe. Right there.

All right.

[Meghan sobs]

[baby crying]

Meghan, congratulations,
you have a beautiful baby boy.

[Lily] That was as close to a miracle
as anything I've ever seen.

Uh, okay, I think I can take it from here.
Mom, just grab a seat.

Meghan, we're almost done here,
just hold on to the baby,

I'm just gonna have
to deliver the placenta, okay?

-What's happening? I feel...
-[Drew] Whoa...

-Mom! Take the baby!
-[Rick] I'm gonna get that.

Okay. We got
postpartum hemorrhage. Oxytocin.

Here. IV.

We gotta contract the uterus,
we gotta stop this bleeding.

Drew, you saved this baby,
don't miss his mom.

She's bleeding out.
Tell the pilot to land the damn plane.

Come on.

Shannon, take the newborn to Exam One.

-Cain, bradycardia trauma two.
-Got it.

She's still hemorrhaging,
systolic in the eighties.

OB is scrubbed in and ready in the OR.
What you did was amazing, Drew.

We got her. We got her.

[beeping]

[slow, dramatic music playing]

-T.C.--
-Don't say a word.

Look, I was just out
talking with that guy, and, um...

After having a grenade in his belly,
he realized that life is short.

And so you should get that treatment.

You're stubborn and reckless.

And you don't think
the rules apply to you, but they...

[chuckles] My god...

Um...

You know who I sound like right now?

I sound like Topher.

Topher's said
these exact same words to me.

You're me,

and I'm Topher.

And I never realized

what an obstinate
pain in the ass I can be.

-[T.C.] That's you.
-Okay. [sighs]

So even if I have to drag you
kicking and screaming

-back to San Antonio with me--
-I'm gonna do it.

I've already decided.

Yeah.

Well, that's great.

But not in America.

I'm going to London for treatment.

As it is, I haven't seen
my husband in some time.

Wait, you're... married?

Like I said...

there's a huge gulf between sex and love.

My life...

my relationships...

are complicated.

I guess so.

Does that bother you?

I don't know.

I mean,

most definitely caught me by surprise.

Well, T.C. Callahan,

if you never come back,
I'm glad I met you.

I am coming back.

The minute my treatment is done,
I'm coming right back here.

So the ice caused the poisoning?

Yeah, the company that caters the airline
also delivers to several restaurants.

Ice for the plane was switched
with ice used for packing fish,

seeped into the food.

-Ugh.
-Yeah.

[Drew] Look who's feeling better.

[Meghan] Thanks to all of you.

Where is my baby? Where is Drew Richard?

She named the baby Drew Richard,
after the two of us.

His given name is actually Andrew,
but he always hated it.

I think it's beautiful.

Mom, mom, mom,
it's good, it's all right. Um...

Your son's in here, with your husband.

I've already briefed him
and I'll check on you in a little bit.

[Lily sighs]

What a beautiful family.

Yeah, they are.

No, I'm talking about the two of you.

They way you worked together,

it was Hemingway's,
"Grace under pressure."

Hemingway? Mom? Really?

I joined a book club.
Don't ruin the moment.

[Brianna] Dads.

[Rick] Hey!

Missed you.

-Uh... Meet your granddaughter.
-Nana.

[chuckles]

Oh, my goodness.

[Lily squeals in delight]

Mannitol should help
with the neurological symptoms.

His knee got better in a hurry.

Yeah.

Paul asked Cain to fake an injury

so Kenny could step back
into the competition.

Cain did that?

Am I wrong, or did he just get hotter?

[playful music]

-Hey.
-Hey.

So, um... dinner, drinks, dancing,
whatever, me and you?

I thought people who work together
should keep it professional.

Well, whoever said that, is an idiot.

You said that.

Like I said.

So, is it a yes or no?

[speaks Spanish]

Get your dancing shoes.

Hey, there, Dr. Cummings.

Listen, I'm really sorry
that I missed the fundraiser.

That's all right, I mean, we ended up

winning the entire event
and raising a lot of money for CF.

That's great. Really great.

You know, Scott, look.
You've been working really hard.

You should, uh, take some me time
for yourself, you know.

Learn how to relax.

I'll think about that.

Matter of fact, you know what?

The day shift's got this.

Think I'm gonna take your advice.
Go try out a little me-time.

That's good.
Have a good night, Dr. Cummings.

Yeah, you too.

["Hot Stuff" playing]

Looking for some hot stuff
Baby, this evening...

-Nice Tinder profile.
-[all laugh]

That's right, Dr. Cummings,
go get you some.

Oh, yeah!

-Just saying.
-[laughing]

[clapping]

-[song continues]
-[all cheering]

[slow music playing]
