[bunniefuu]

- Previously on The Resident...
- Tell me about your mom.

- Nic.
- Mom or Dad, you pick.

Parents split, my dad
kept me from my mom.

And then she passed away, you know that.

BELL: The love of my
life turned out to be

a psychopathic doctor
who poisoned her own patients.

Oh, come on, Bell, we all know

you're the most eligible bachelor.

- Jessie.
- I screwed up.

- Look at me, what did you take?
- What's going on?

My sister. She OD'd on oxy.

- She could've d*ed.
- Eight months clean.

Happiest I've been in forever.

Just like that I threw it all away.

We got to get you better
for good this time.

Whatever it takes.

(CRYING) I'm such a liability.

No!

- No, no!
- She's having an episode.

What's her name?

- Laurie Dante.
- (GASPING)

- Can you hear me?
- DEVON: Laurie, you're okay.

Two of Lorazepam I-M
for sedation. Go, go.

NURSE HUNDLEY: She must have dozed off.

She said she hadn't slept in days.

- Oh, make them stop.
- All right, Laurie,

Laurie. You're okay. You're safe.

(GASPING)

Hey. Laurie.

You're in the hospital.

We'll take care of you, okay?

Let's admit her to the fifth floor.

- And page Conrad, stat.
- Okay.

♪ ♪

Guess what this is?

I know what that is.

Yeah, but have you ever tasted it...

the chocolate, caramel, nougat?

You're hilarious.

Let's break some rules, Conrad Hawkins.

- After all, it is Halloween.
- Mmm.

I'm listening.

Get a resident to cover for you.

Pick a costume.

I'm thinking something from
the Marvel universe.

Come to Mina's party.

And I can't believe I'm gonna say this,

but eat a bunch of candy with me.

(LAUGHS) That sounds scary.

And amazing.

I wish I could,

- but I can't.
- Mm.

We're understaffed.
It's Halloween night.

You know how crazy it can get.

- Are you waiting for someone?
- My dad.

I was supposed to meet him
before work minutes ago.

That's strange. Maybe he forgot.

Yeah. Very strange.
He never forgets. Anything.

Go.

Get out of here.

Have enough fun for both of us.

Oh, I plan on it.

Happy Halloween.

(PHONE BUZZES)

I admitted Laurie Dante.

Nightmare girl with
the psychotic breaks?

Yep.

How is she?

Oh, she's scared.

Conrad's on his way.

Good. I'm off for the night.

The place is all yours.

First Halloween in the ER. Enjoy.

- What are these?
- Costumes. For Mina's party.

I have backups on hand

because Mina must approve before
she lets you in the door.

Last year I got rejected.

Twice. But not this year, baby.

This year, I'm money.

What are you gonna be?

Werewolf.

Good luck, buddy.

Concussion. Needs observation
for another four hours.

I got it.

Vampire in two should have stuck
to drinking blood.

Hang two liters of saline and discharge

when he can count backwards from ten.

You suck for taking tonight off
and leaving me here

with the most juvenile
med student in history.

I can't argue with you on that
one, but here's the good news:

Halloween is a notoriously
slow night in the ER.

You're a terrible liar.
Now leave, please.

Right arm for reattachment. Patient
is still trapped in his vehicle.

We have to get back to scene.
Dr. Feldman has the details.

- Thank you.
- You knew about this?

The call might have come in
about minutes ago.

I thought it would be a fun surprise.

You know, trick or treat?

Let's get this arm on ice.

Hold down the fort, Pravesh.

Keep that arm viable for reattachment.

Hmm. Girlfriends?

They're cool. I got one myself.

Isn't that your name?

Yeah. What?

I cannot believe that you made
these by yourself.

Well, when you don't leave
the house very often,

you look for things to do.

How long has it been?

Since I've had a wild night out

or since I got sober?

I'm kidding.

Four weeks rehab.

Two weeks sober living.

One week on your couch.

- Well, I am proud of you.
- Thank you.

And thanks for inviting me
tonight. I'm really excited.

Are you kidding me?
The costume's at Mina's

Halloween parties are legendary.

Everybody should experience it
at least once.

Well, I know you're worried
about me staying

son the straight and narrow,
but I just want to say,

I'm not just doing this for me anymore,

I'm staying clean for both of us. Okay?

I'm not worried. Do I look worried?

Yeah, you have like a resting
worried face.

Laurie, I'm Dr. Conrad Hawkins.

I'm here to help, okay?

I'm really sorry.

This is embarrassing, actually.
I-I just have bad dreams.

You have people who need you. I...

I'm not even sure I should have
come in. I'm-I'm fine.

Laurie, I'm happy you're here,

because I'd like to make sure it's
nothing serious. Sound like a plan?

All right, tell me.

When'd you started having
these episodes?

Uh, couple weeks ago.

I figured they'd just go away,
but they keep happening.

Getting more intense.

Now...

I'm afraid to fall asleep. (LAUGHS)

Go ahead... tell me to go home,
that there's nothing wrong with me.

It's exactly what the other
three doctors said.

Actually, women under are
the most misdiagnosed subset

of patients in the country, so, no,

I don't want to tell you that.

Whatever you're experiencing
is taking a toll on you.

That's very clear.

Dang it.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, I don't know why I'm crying.

Because you're scared.

Laurie, just tell me everything.

Where you work. The medications
you're on. Don't leave anything out.

The smallest of things
can lead me to a diagnosis.

No meds.

I don't have a regular job.

I... nanny for a family in Inman Park.

- There's nothing wrong with that.
- Says you.

My family hates the whole idea.

We have a farm near Statesboro.

They didn't want me moving to Atlanta.

They think I'm gonna get into
trouble in the big city.

We don't talk much anymore.

Actually, we don't talk at all.

That sounds difficult. That must
put a lot of stress on you.

They're wrong.

I can handle it.

I'm gonna run some tests... blood panel,

lumbar puncture, MRI.

We're gonna get to the bottom
of this together.

What would cause a website
not to load on my computer?

Uh, the hospital server blocks p*rn.

I'm the CEO of the hospital.

I don't look at p*rn.

Everyone looks at p*rn.

I'm not watching p*rn.

Right, 'cause it's blocked.

Remind me why I hired you?

Uh, 'cause your last assistant quit

and my dad is Zip Betournay.

He owns the Crystal Springs Golf Club.

Pretty sure he jumped you to the
top of the wait-list to get in.

That was rhetorical.

(SIGHS)

There is nothing abnormal, is there?

Radiologist will have to give
the final read,

- but it looks that way.
- (PHONE VIBRATES)

- Have transpo take her to her room.
- Okay.

Dad.

MARSHALL (ON PHONE):
I'm sorry I missed you earlier.

I had some business to attend to.

At : at night?

Can I make it up to you?
I'll swing by Chastain later.

CONRAD: I'm on a shift.

Could be a long one.

MARSHALL: Of course.

I understand.

- Where are you taking me?
- It's gonna be okay.

- Let me out of here.
- I got to go.

- I'm gonna take you to your room, okay?
- MARSHALL: I'll find you.

No t-take me out of this building!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's the problem?

She wants to get discharged.

You can't keep me here against my will.

Laurie, we talked about this.
I need to run some more tests

so we can figure out what's wrong.

Who are you?

I'm your doctor.

No.

My doctor is Conrad Hawkins.

I just talked to him.

I've never met you before in my life.

Pravesh, I got a page
about a reattachment surgery...

a delicate operation
that demands my unique skills.

Where's the arm?

I'm keeping it cool on ice.

Good. I'll start its admission process.

But you can't admit an arm.

It's not alive.
It doesn't have insurance.

Doesn't have a name.

Okay, I'll give it a name. Clyde.

Clyde? That's the best you can do?

Well, it's uninspired, but whatever.

When I reattach Clyde to the patient,

it will be both alive and insured.

All right.

I don't know who did that.

It wasn't me.

Relax. Clyde has a sense of humor.

I approve.

If you really are Dr. Hawkins,
why can't I recognize you?

It's called Capgras syndrome.
It's very rare.

People see a familiar face, but
the emotional charge necessary

for recognition is lost.

It's lost because the area in the brain

that controls emotions has
some sort of disconnect there.

And that disconnect is telling you

that you are seeing an imposter
when you really aren't.

But why is it happening?

There's a number of possible causes.

Earlier, you told me not to hold back.

So you do the same.

Just tell me the truth.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

Do you have any family history
of schizophrenia?

(EXHALES) Oh, God.

My cousin was schizophrenic.

H-He heard voices. He couldn't take it.

He jumped off the Jackson Street Bridge

- two years ago.
- Slow down. Hey, hey, hey.

There is a lot of ground
to cover between where we are

right now and diagnosing
what's really going on.

I've paged a neurologist.

He will be here very soon,

and he will walk us through everything.

What a noob.

Lag. Lag. Why is it lagging? Okay...

- (THUMP)
- Clear out your desk.

- It's your first and last day.
- (CHUCKLES)

Wait, no, are... R-Really?

This is called a job.

You may not be familiar with jobs.

They usually entail work.

You've done no work.

You can break the news to your dad.
I'll find myself a new club.

I get fired, he kills me. For real.

Well, that's something for you
to consider in your next job.

If you ever get one.

I can hook you up.

- Excuse me?
- I've seen you swiping right all day.

I can find you
a smoking hot date, tonight.

Have you lost your mind?

Look, just hear me out.

I match people together, okay?

It's a thing I do. I have no skills

in life whatsoever except for my ability

to put man and woman together.

Sometimes man and man,
sometimes lady and lady.

All types. Last-minute.

Short-term, long-term, whatever.

It's a gift that I have, and it's a gift

that I can give to you tonight.

This is painfully inappropriate.

Or it's delightfully perfect.

Okay? I-I have someone in mind.

Capgras, huh? Ah, that's a tough one.

I have a few tests we should do.

Rule out the possibility
of biological causes.

Where's my patient?

Laurie.

Uh, she wanted to grab some air.

Uh, did I do something wrong?

Laurie?

Laurie?

I'm never gonna be normal again, am I?

We don't know that.

We only just started doing tests.

Let's give it some time.

I don't know if I can.

every step of the way.

We'll do this.

We'll do this together.

A man lost his arm.

And he could very well be dying,
for all we know.

Still seem funny to you? Is this why

you wanted to become a doctor?

Chill, Pravesh.

All right.

How about you fill in all the numbers

on this clock for me?

CONRAD: The fact that you
drew all the numbers

on one side of the clock means

that there's a biological basis
for your illness.

This is actually good news.

- Because I'm not schizophrenic?
- Exactly. The test

shows us that only
one half of your brain

seems to be interacting
with the outside world.

You don't know what's causing it yet?

No. There's still something going on

that our tests didn't pick up yet.

- What could it be?
- Inflammation.

Autoimmune diseases. Toxins.

I want to keep you
in the hospital overnight.

We're gonna order an EEG,

start you on empiric antibiotics

to treat for possible infectious causes.

I keep thinking...

I brought this on myself.

I-I walked away from my family.

Maybe it's karma or something.

Had I never left,
maybe none of this would be

happening to me.
I-I deserve the nightmares.

Everyone gets nightmares.

But I'll keep looking till I find it.

We could fly out for a long weekend.

Why didn't you show up

I told you, I had business crosstown.

Do you want to try

Surgery on Laurie's femoral

a half hour if there's no other
arteries or veins that are severed.

All indications are they aren't.

Let me know if that changes
once you get in the OR.

Will do.

Dr. Nolan.

Check Laurie's lower abdomen

while you're in there, between
the right hip and umbilicus.

I'll be nearby, getting proximal
control for the repair,

but I prefer to stay out of her abdomen.

Why do you want me to do that?

Oh, that's-that's an incidentaloma.

- It's a benign growth. It's nothing.
- Yeah, or it could be

something that explains everything.

I'll give it a look.

I can go arm, leg,

Abdomen and pelvis look good.
This is all hemorrhagic shock.

Got four units in the ER.

to give me a little bit more

How long has the leg been severed?

KIT: Somewhere around five hours.

I'm guessing minutes before
that limb loses viability.

- (ALARMS SOUNDING)
- (SIGHS) New problem.

He's bradying down.

Get the ultrasound.

Tamponade compressed his heart.

The mediastinal bleed
must have opened up.

Lacerated P-A. Sternal saw to me.

(ALARMS CONTINUE SOUNDING)

- Need to go on pump?
- No. We're good.

(SAW BUZZING)

(BONES CRUNCHING)

Another two units PRBCs.

Still trending down.

I'm gonna need more cardiac support.

Slam that blood into him.

(BEATBOXING)

(ALARMS STOP, MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY)

- Vitals are improving.
- (AUSTIN LAUGHS)

KIT AND MINA: Show-off.

AUSTIN: Hey, if you got it, flaunt it.

BELL: As we were.

AUSTIN: ♪ TeamChastain, baby.

NOLAN: Laurie's recovering.
You were right.

Checking the abdomen was a good call.

- This thing has teeth.
- It has a tooth.

It's a teratoma.
It's not gonna bite you, Ricky.

Teratomas are genetic anomalies
that reproduce organs,

or sometimes bone or teeth,
all within a pocket of flesh.

NOLAN: Rare. Unpleasant.

Perfectly appropriate discovery
on All Hallows' Eve.

Some teratomas create antibodies
that att*ck the brain,

and this can lead to encephalitis.

- They can.
- We'll rerun her CSF panel

for Anti-NMDA antibodies.

I think we got this.

Okay, that's enough.

I'm really gonna be okay?

Yes. Yes!

(BOTH LAUGH)

Yeah. You have Anti-NMDA encephalitis.

It's a rare infection of the brain.

It was causing all your symptoms.

We're gonna give you a combination

of steroids and immunoglobulins.

Your night terrors might persist
for a bit, but

you should be back
to your normal life in no time.

Ah. I haven't spoken to my family

in two years, but right now...

can't wait to tell them
I'm gonna be okay.

I just hope they pick up the phone.

Family is complicated.

You just have to hope

that they'll be there
for you in the end.

You were right.

I should string a few days
together, recharge my batteries.

- Just say the word.
- I will.

When you tell me the truth.

Where were you today?

Maybe when you stop lying to me,

I'll consider going
to an island with you.

Sharing everything all the time

is not something I'm interested in.

Well, I am.

Son, I'm a lot of things,

but a hypocrite isn't one of them.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm not exactly sitting

across from an open book.

You left home and didn't tell me
where you were for ten years.

I had to hire a private
investigator to track you down.

So don't ask of me

what you refuse to ask of yourself.

Get some rest.

(MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY)

KIT: Welcome back, Frank.

What... what happened to me?

Wee bit of a car accident.

Dr. Voss and I were part
of the team that reattached

your arm and your leg.

Did-did I almost die?

Couple of times.

The important thing is you're here now.

Yeah, m-my wife?

And daughters?

Do-do they know?

Yeah. They're on their way up here now.

(GASPS) Hi.

Hi. Um...

Oh, it's-it's okay, sweetie. It's okay.

Daddy loves you, honey.

Nice assist in the ER today, Pravesh.

Thanks, Dr. Austin.

And what you pulled off in the OR...

Shh. I know what I did well.

Isn't this the loveliest part
of the job?

What part are we talking about?

The part that makes you want

to pick up the phone
and call your own kids.

American Bobtail and a Maine
co*n are the only kids I got.

Wait. You have human kids?

Two, from my first marriage.

All grown now.

And one of my kids has a kid.

Good night, chaps.

Her kid has a kid.

She's a grandmother.

(BOTH PANTING)

You know, I...

You know, I was thinking

that this indelible session would be...

One time. No strings.

- (BELLS SIGHS)
- (VIVIAN GIGGLES)

I now find myself reconsidering.

- Me too.
- Hmm.

I got to say, my new assistant was right

about his matchmaking skills.

We raised him right.

My ex-husband is so hard on
Grayson, but I'm proud of him.

He's a good son.

What?

(DOOR OPENS)

Uh, where's Nic?

Oh, I gave her the night off.

SO, THE DAMAGE:

three broken glasses,
a clogged sink, and...

Holly Golightly spilled
a drink on your rug.

It's never coming out.
I know. I'm sorry.

(LAUGHING) Stop it.

No, you stop it.

(GASPS) You silly little minx.

Oh, it's been going on for a while.

- It's actually kind of adorable.
- (GASPS) Stop it.

What a nightmare.

(GRUNTS)

(cr*ck)

Mom!

Mom!

MAN (DISTORTED): Go now, boy.

Get out of here, boy!

Dad, no! Please!

Please. (PANTING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Shh, shh. It's okay.

Shh.

Want to talk about it?
