05x14 - Potluck

Post by bunniefuu »

(EARTH, WIND & FIRE'S SEPTEMBER PLAYING)

♪ Do you remember... ♪

- Morgan's meatballs?
- Garlic.

- (GASPS) Lim's brownies.
- Walnuts.

Okay, you can't have an
empty plate the whole time,

because it is kind of rude.

Wouldn't it be ruder to
take food and not eat it?



Your recliner does not go with

any of the other furniture
in the living room.

It's older and, you know,
a little worn in.

Which is why I like it. It's unique.

I do, too, and it's super comfortable,

which is why it'll go great in the den.

Upstairs.

- Fair enough.
- Mm-hmm.

Ooh. Loading up for an ultra-marathon?

Figured I'd better try
everyone's contributions.

- Your brownies were great.
- Well, thank you.

I should be the one carbo loading,

seeing as half my
department's in New York

for the next three days.

Those conferences raise
the hospital's profile,

as well as your department's.

♪ Ba-du-da, ba-du... ♪

SHAUN: That has mayonnaise.

You don't have to eat it.

Just move some to a napkin
every few minutes,

then just...

♪ Holdin' hands with
your heart to see you...

Hm.

I am going to need a lot of napkins.

(CELL PHONE CHIMES)

Hm.

Oh. Or none at all. I have to go.

♪ Remember ♪

Jake Khan, .

Cut off his big toe while camping.

Chopping wood is very dangerous.

My neighbor in Wyoming nearly d*ed

after hitting his foot with an axe.

It wasn't an axe, it was a machete.

She wasn't chopping wood.

I woke up, and the tent was dark.

I thought I saw a snake,
but it was his foot.

Do you normally wear glasses?

(GASPS)

I retract that question.

Can you reattach it?

Your machete was very sharp.

So yes.

Your sweet potato casserole
was a runaway hit.

It was gone before I got any.

You should have had some back at
the apartment when you had the chance.

I got distracted,
which I seem to remember was your fault.

(GIGGLES)

You busy this weekend?

Actually,
a few of my college buddies are in town.

Well, I'd love to hear all about

my boyfriend's frat house exploits.

I think they kind of just
want to catch up with me.

Maybe next time?

Yeah. Totally.

Next time.

SHAUN: Digital nerve
is fully re-attached.

DR. LIM: Check for distal pulses.

Add this to the list of
reasons I don't go camping.

Right after ticks, bears, and giardia.

Lea loves bears.
She thinks they're cute.

A grizzly bear can crush
a bowling ball with its bite.

I watch a lot of Discovery.

Pulse present.

Color and capillary refill look good.

It's well-perfused.

Good. Let's... (RETCHES)

Dr. Lim, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. I just had a
little bit too much at the potluck.

All good. Let's finish up here.

Let's just place a dress... ing.



Step away.

Very slowly.



Why?

C-Can't you see
the snake right... there?

T-There is no snake.

Dr. Lim, I think you should step out.

(VOMITING)

(ELECTRIC GUITAR VERSION
OF THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(LAUGHTER)

(WOMAN VOMITS)

MAN: Whoa!

How are you feeling?
Any nausea? Dizziness?

No. What is happening?

Everyone here was at the potluck.

Has to be some sort of
toxin or food poisoning.

Dr. Lim's symptoms don't
seem like typical food poisoning.

How many people are...

(GRUNTS)

- Shaunie!
- Oh.

- I missed ya.
- Okay.

Fourteen, including her.

- (GROANS)
- (LAUGHS)

I'm cool, right?

Like, if you were hanging out with a bunch
of friends, like, you'd want me to come?

Totally. You're the coolest.

Add insecure blabbering
to the list of symptoms.

Start an IV, get him on some fluids.

- (GASPS) Put me down!
- (LAUGHS)

- You know what I love about you?
- Oh, no.

You look like a Disney princess.

But you're mean. And that's so...

...hot.

I love you.

Uh, I love you, too.

That's why we need to talk
about my recliner.

You can't hide it in the den.

It's living room or bust.

Okay, let's find you
a nice place to lie down.

Are you experiencing nausea,
confusion, or hallucinations?

No.

I'm great.

Oh.

Almost as great as your hair.

Oh. Temperature's elevated.

And you're using the same voice you use

to talk to our neighbor's dog.

Oh. How do you do that?

Conditioner?

Genetics?

Pupils dilated.

(SIGHS)

Waiting room is utter pandemonium.

We have an ETA on surgeons
returning from the conference?

There's a huge storm in New York.

Flights are grounded till tomorrow.

We can't send anyone home
till we know for sure

what we're dealing with.

Let's keep them in the E.R.
and watch for any renal,

hepatic, or neurological complications.

There aren't enough bays in the E.R.

to babysit a sick staff
and also take in new patients.

We could use the private E.R.
bays for the sicker staff,

then use a conference room for overflow.

The residents' break room is better.

Has a sink and no carpet.

It's vomit-ready.

Prep the break room,
and then start figuring out

exactly what everyone ate.

Document any commonalities.
I'll loop in Dr. Allen.

The four of us will run point

on any surgical and E.R...

(CLEARS THROAT)

(GRUNTS)

Dr. Andrews?

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(VOMITING)

And then there were three.

(VOMITING CONTINUES)

(LAUGHTER)

(VOMITS)

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

DR. GLASSMAN: I know it's a
little crazy out there right now,

but in here,
it's just like any other day.

Mr. Hoyt here fractured his skull

while trying to fix his roof,

and now we are going to try and fix him.

Dr. Murphy, help me mark up the patient,

and let's cr*ck him open.

I think you mean mark the trauma flap

for the craniotomy?

Sure.

Who played Olympic Hills last week?

Was that you?

Put two balls in the pond
off the first tee.

Went downhill from there.

I know that pond, and I hate that pond.

You know the pot bunker on ?

Dr. Glassman, the CT scans show

skull fragments are putting
pressure on the brain.

We need to go faster.

Four times, I hit the lip.

Four times, the ball rolled
right back to my feet.

Scalpel.



I feel...

Floaty.

Should I get a doctor?

No, it's nice.

The snakes still in your bed?

No.

I think they're sleeping.

(GASPS)

Oh.

Your pink sweater is... amazing.

And swirly.

So swirly.

(CHUCKLES) It's a good thing

you sent a chunk of the
department to that conference.

Not that you asked me.

I'm head of the hospital.

Like I could ever forget that.

(CHUCKLES) There it is.

That classic Audrey Lim

passive aggressive pushback.

Whatever was in the food

seems to have lowered your inhibitions,

- so...
- Okay. Good.

You want me to be
less passive aggressive?

Yes, I would.

Okay. Okay.

All that talk about how much
you care about the hospital?

(WHISPERS) I don't buy it.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

(IN NORMAL VOICE) You love
being the president.

(CHUCKLES) Yes, you do.

And all that power and attention

just feeds your ginormous ego.

Oh, that's rich,

coming from the control freak

who keeps just enough chaos
in her life to feel cool.

This whole maverick, daredevil schtick?

I'm so over it. Aren't you over it?

(SCOFFS) You know what I'm over?

Your skin-tight clothes.

Yeah, we get it. You're in great shape.

Excuse me, maybe you two should...

For your age.

I work out.

We know.

...stop talking about anything.



The cranioplasty took seven
minutes longer than it should have.

I'm okay with that,
as long as we have a smooth surgery.

But with all the cases we have...

Shaun, you're in the O.R.
You're a leader. Okay?

When people are stressed,
that's when mistakes happen.

How does pretending a
stressful situation isn't stressful

make it less stressful?

Dr. Glassman? Bay seven is waiting.

Keep the morale up,
keep the tension down.



Do you remember what you ate
from the potluck?

Your hair's emitting...

A glow.

Probably because it's on fire.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

Let's move you to a quiet area.

This is so not the
worst trip I've been on.

I work in tech.

You've been to one micro-dosing
session in the Redwoods,

you've been to all of them.

Please answer my questions.

I need to pinpoint what
dish is affecting everyone.

Oh, good idea. I wanna help.

- You are way too high for that.
- Ooh. Oh, yeah?

I ate Skarlen's cake,

which definitely had too much nutmeg,

which can be a hallucinogenic.

But she didn't make enough
to affect everyone.

I also ate Giacomin's sandwiches,
which were on rye.

Moldy rye supposedly caused the
hysteria at the Salem Witch Trials,

which I doubt everyone ate them,

because they were terrible.

So dry.

But given what I am feeling,
uh, my expert opinion,

we're in the neighborhood
of LSD, mescaline.

(CHUCKLES)

Start asking people questions.

Mm. 'Kay.

SHAUN: Irrigate into the incision site.

Does my urging you to move
quickly make you tense?

No. I can handle it.

Dr. Glassman thinks
the O.R. staff can't,

which is why he works too slowly.

And uses wrong terminology.

Hope you didn't tell him that.

I did.

He is normally open to my opinions.

We have known each other a long time.

Uh, I know, Shaun,
but he's a senior surgeon,

and you're still a resident.

You can't expect for him
to adjust to your pace.

You can run things the way you want

when you're the senior doctor.

So, if I'm not working with Dr. Glassman

and I am the senior doctor,
I can run things how I want.

(TABLET BEEPS)

That's not exactly what I meant.

More patients. I need to go.

Close him up and run an EKG,

and thank you for the helpful advice.



No deep lacerations.

You done? I have to work in the morning.

You should take the day off.

Give yourself a chance to heal.

No, I need the hours.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR)

Dr.
Glassman, there is a patient in bay two.

Thank you. I'll be right there.

Just, uh, sit.

(SIGHS)

What kind of work do you do, Cameron?



How severe is the rectal pain?

I can barely sit down.

Any history of rectal fissures,

inflammatory bowel disease,
or hemorrhoids?

I don't think so.

Dr. Murphy, what was that last part?

Hemorrhoids. We are very busy.
You need to write faster.

Have you recently inserted a
foreign object into your rectum?

Please answer. I am trying to help you,

but also, I do not want to
spend any longer than necessary.

It was a toothbrush.

I was... bored.

Second degree electrical burn.

Were you touching anything
else when you got shocked?

I don't think so.

Burn ointment, morphine for debridement,
maintenance fluids.

I asked for lactated ringers
with D- saline, not D- .

I'm sorry. You were going so fast.

No, thank you. I will get it myself.

I imagine with the pay cuts
and the new hires,

there's a lot of pressure at work, huh?

Yeah. My wife already lost her job,

and I can't afford to lose mine, too.

Are you sleeping?

Um...

What about the bean dip?

I don't think I had any of that.

Hm.

Hm.

The mac and cheese.

Meatballs.



The soup.

No. Wait.

I only thought about getting the soup.

(CHUCKLES) Hilarious.

I barely see my wife anymore,

and when I do, I'm just so
tired and irritated all the time.

Have you been self-medicating?

Stimulants? Amphetamines, maybe?



ASHER: I asked if I could join,

find out what my boyfriend
was like in college,

and then... (IMITATES RECORD SCRATCH)

That was a record scratch.

He totally shut me out.

Oh, that's so cool

you and Jerome
are officially "boyfriends."

You just called him that.

(EXHALES SLOWLY)

I called him my boyfriend.

That's why he freaked out.

(WHISPERING) Wait.

Was that...

The first time?

Oh, man.

No. No.

That's not an unreasonable
thing to assume, right?

We've been on dates.

We've even had breakfast
the morning after,

but maybe he's seeing other people.

Hey, man.

You said how you feel, you just
laid it out there, and that's great.

You gotta be who you are. Yeah.

Otherwise, you'll find yourself
moving into a new place

where your kickass recliner
is hidden away upstairs.

You deserve better than that.

You deserve the space to be you,

to express yourself.

Sorta got lost in the middle there,
but you're right.

I should express myself.

And we need to start...

Now.



(LAUGHS)

- Dr. Murphy.
- Hm?

This man has been waiting
on Dr. Glassman. Can you grab him?

Oh, no,
if he's on Dr. Glassman's list...

He's falling a bit behind.

Okay.

Frank went off to the bathroom.

Then Park... wrestled me out.

DR. PARK: Oh! (LAUGHS)

That's right!

And I'm not afraid to say it!

DR. PARK: Oh! He's not afraid to say it!

And I'm not afraid to say
I love my recliner!

- Yeah!
- Whoo!

- Yeah! Whoo!
- Whoo!

Get up here! Come on!

Feel the music!

DR. PARK: Oh!

Oh, oh! Here come the strings!

ASHER: Ow.

We love Vanessa Carlton!

Does your family have
any history of strokes?

I'm not sure.

Heart att*cks? Blood clots?

Why? Is that what's happening?

I'm going to re-take
your blood pressure.

Doctor, I-I... I don't feel right.

(MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY)

over .

I need a milligram push of esmolol.

What's happening?

You're in range for complications
from a hypertensive crisis.

Uh, like a heart att*ck?

That's one possibility.

S-So I'm having a heart att*ck?

Not yet. This should bring
down your blood pressure.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

(BEEPING STOPS)

Continue to take deep breaths.

Does Dr. Glassman have
any more patients on hold?

There are two more.

I will take them.

I'm faster than Dr. Glassman,
and we need to...

BEN: Doctor, help.

(BREATHING HEAVILY) I can't breathe.

The O levels are dropping.

Increasing oxygen flow rate.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Get Dr. Glassman.

Mr. Cho, you had a minor asthma att*ck

as a result of the esmolol.

W-Why did he give it to me then?

You didn't tell the nurse

- about your asthma.
- Shaun.

Didn't anyone check my medical records?

You were an E.R. walk-in,
and your blood pressure was...

Shaun, do me a favor, please, and... And
step outside and meet me in the hall?

(MONITOR BEEPING)

(SIGHS) Mr. Cho,

the important thing is that
your vitals are normal now,

and there won't be any long-term
effects as a result of the medication.

I'll be right back.

You didn't have time
to get a clear history?

His blood pressure was
critically high and trending up.

And now it's low.

I warned you about this, didn't I?

You were stressed
and then you stressed him.

Okay, I would feel less stressed
if you were moving faster.

That's not your call.

I wasn't wrong.

An asthmatic response to esmolol

is rare and less critical
than a hypertensive crisis.

And if you had not been
so slow to get to the patient...

Shaun.
...because I know you are not able

to work at my pace,

but your medical strategy
is not working. No, no.

Work at your pace?

Yes.

You need to go get something
to eat, take a break.

No, thank you. I need to get...

I said take a break!

If you don't want to eat something,
then go take a walk!

Now!

I'll take care of Mr. Cho.



Ow.

That was quite the fall.

I'm sorry I flipped you out,
calling you my boyfriend.

But I... I need to know if
you're seeing other people.

No.

No, I'm not seeing anyone else.

And, yes,
the boyfriend thing did surprise me,

but... I liked it.

(GROANS) Ow.

Not enough to introduce me
to your college friends?

You wouldn't like them. They're boring.

They're boring, or...

Or I'm boring?

Or too loud?

Or too young?

Like, what about me is so embarrassing?

I just...

I just thought you wouldn't want to...

Listen to us rehash our glory days.

Okay, if that was you
thinking of an excuse,

you should have taken longer.

(SIGHS)

Just finish me up and take me
back to the Break Room, please.

Okay.

Try and drink as much as you can.

Ever stop and think how
bizarre it is that we got together?

Like, if you'd told us
even a year ago...

Well, stranger things have happened.

(GRUNTS) Wha...

I landed weird earlier.
You know what else is weird?

How people say "opposites attract."

But the novelty wears off, right?

Remember that video with Paula Abdul

and that cartoon cat...
They didn't have a future.

They probably couldn't agree
on furniture, either.

How about we talk about this later?

You know, that recliner has
been with me through marriage,

Kellan, med school, divo...

I asked you to put it
in the den, not throw it out.

Because you're embarrassed
by it. You don't respect it.

If you don't respect it,
maybe you don't respect me.

And before you know it,
you'll be hiding me upstairs

in a house you're paying for,
where you'll be the boss,

and I'll be nothing but a sad,
lonely piece of furniture.

You're not furniture, but you are high,

and in no shape to be having
a rational conversation.

Keep hydrating.



What are you doing?

I can climb this wall.

I need to climb this wall.

What, like...

Spider-Man?

Exactly like Spider-Man.

Cool, cool.

Hey, just please be quiet.

I'll need a running start.

It'll take power and inertia to stick.

No. Wait, wait, no!

You gotta let me do this.

- You're delusional.
- No.

And you're gonna wake the snakes.

I'm President.

If I want to climb the wall,

I will climb the wall.

What did Spider-Man value the most?

That with great power
comes great resp...

Yeah, yeah, that. Yeah. But also...

His secret identity.

(BOTH GASP)

If you have these powers,

you don't want people to know, right?

DR. ANDREWS: Yeah.

You're right. Good thinking.

Yeah.

Are you stroking my sleeve?

Yeah.

Yeah.

This is incredible.

What is it?

Cashmere.

Yeah.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

NURSE VILLANUEVA: Dr. Murphy.

Take a look at his ultrasound.

I'm taking a break.
I am eating an apple.

It's very strange.

His spleen is on the wrong side.

Okay.

Were you in a car accident?

No, he used a ball launcher

to fire a basketball at his stomach.

Yeah, my followers love that stuff.

You have a wandering spleen.

The ligaments holding it were
likely weakened from past trauma.

The impact from the ball
caused it to break away.

Oh, snap. Can you e-mail me those pics?

That's dope content
for my follow-up video.

L-Later.

You're not getting adequate
blood flow to the spleen.


We need to get you into surgery now.

Sweet. Hey, can you guys
film this for me?

Urine samples from the
dosed are inconclusive.

Any food updates?

No-go on the ribs and the pasta salad.

In your extensive tripping experience,

do people usually talk crazy

or reveal their true feelings?

Both.

Though often they're related.

Yeah, Park's definitely acting crazy.

I mean, dancing on tables?

You want to talk Park or the mystery?

Both?

Great.

We just moved in together,
and now he's rambling

about how opposites don't attract.

Or shouldn't? I...

You know the word rambling
can refer to horny horses?

Maybe he's just nervous about change.

Park doesn't get nervous.

Well, it's either completely irrelevant

or something you two need to have

a very serious talk about.

Isn't Dr. Gentry vegan?

Yes.

That takes out chicken,
mac and cheese, and Jell-O.

(GASPS) The sweet potatoes.

Whose dish was that?

That's impossible.

I got the recipe online.
I followed it exactly.

Interesting.

And did you help him?

You think I did something to his dish?

Maybe you thought it'd be funny.

That makes no sense,
which isn't surprising

because you're tripping.

But I'm not, and I remember

you put a bag labeled "organs"
in the shared fridge

and changed Dr. Riley's
license plate to "IMPOTENT."

Those were harmless pranks,

unlike dosing a hospital.

I'm sorry... Pause.

When exactly was this Prank Master era?

It wasn't an era. It was just some
stuff I did my first few years here.

Oh.

So you were different then?

Or are you just morphing
into different people

depending on who you're talking to?

Do you have other personalities

that I should know about?

Whatever you ate is making you paranoid.

If this is going to work,

you need to be your true self with me.

Enough couples' therapy.

Go to your apartment and
bring back all the ingredients.

Okay, no problem.

Hello. You're scheduled
to assist Dr. Glassman

on the wandering spleen surgery.

- That is my patient.
- Okay.

With a spleen this fractured,

complications could easily be missed...

Peritonitis, fragments left
behind that can cause infection.

You need to convince
Dr. Glassman to let me assist, too.

Why can't you tell him yourself?

We had an argument a few hours ago.

I'm not sure he would listen to me.

Then by all means,
you should operate with him.

Yes.

Today has been rough enough
without you dragging me

into the middle
of whatever this thing is.

Talk to Glassman yourself.



(WATER RUNNING)

I am not scheduled for this spleen
surgery, but I should be included.

This is a rare procedure.

Did you take a break?

I had an apple.

- Half an apple.
- (WATER STOPS)

I understand if you're
disappointed, Shaun.

I need a team who listens to me,

who knows my style, and who embraces it.

Just because I don't like to
talk about irrelevant topics

doesn't mean I can't help.

Shaun, Shaun,
you're not in this surgery.



Hey.

I thought about what you said

about the recliner and... other things.

Once this is over, we should talk.

Ow. What's wrong?

(GRUNTING) Park? Park.

Park.

I need CBC, blood cultures,
and CT, stat.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

- Where does it hurt?
- (GROANS)

Good job double checking
at the end there.

- Thank you.
- (WATER RUNNING)

With a spleen this fractured,

complications can be easily missed...

Peritonitis,

fragments left behind
that can cause infection.

- (WATER STOPS)
- That sounds familiar.

You're stressing him out.

You made him question himself.

He should question himself.
He's a great surgeon.

Great surgeons should
continue to question themselves.

That's how we learn.

Shaun is great,
and he's learned a lot from you.

Maybe it's time you
let him return the favor.

I've learned a lot from both of you.

(CELL PHONE BEEPS)

Stat page to O.R. One.

I'll meet you there.



JEROME: Olive oil, pecans, cilantro.

- Seasonings?
- Salt, pepper...

Okay, we need an answer now.

Park has advanced appendicitis.

He needs surgery, but not before
we know what's in his system.

I got everything. On my way back.

Wait, Jerome, go back.

Wait. Bring the phone closer
to the seasonings.

No. That's the wrong cumin shaker.

I used the other one.

What other shaker?

The first shaker was almost empty

so I used the one from your spice rack.

The clear one.

I don't have another...

It's psilocybin.

(SIGHS) Magic mushrooms.

A few weeks ago,
my roommate had a party.

Someone brought shrooms
in a cumin shaker.

That's all we need.

Shrooms won't disrupt anesthesia.

We can operate.



Jake Khan was originally
admitted with an amputated toe,

but his most recent EKG was abnormal.

CTA revealed an anomalous
left coronary artery.

He's at risk of cardiac arrest.

Since you don't want me in the O.R.,

you and Dr. Allen
will need to open him up

and increase blood flow to his heart.

This is complicated.

I'm gonna need a senior resident.

I'm a senior resident.

Yes, I know. Let's scrub in.

Dr. Glassman, Park
is in O.R. number three.

On the table.

His appendix is about to rupture.

We have an immediate
cardiac surgery here.

It's a quick laparoscopic.
And it's Park.

The moment we're in the home stretch,

Dr. Murphy can start
the procedure on him.

What about Dr. Allen?

She's only a second-year.
Solo surgeries are third year.

I assisted appendectomies

all the time in my second year.

I can talk her through.

I got this.

Go prep.

SHAUN: Well, look at
all the areas of stenosis.

Or would you prefer to discuss
sports or another topic?

I appreciate that. I'm good
with the medicine for now.

And there's the anomaly.

What's the ideal approach?

We should unroof the coronary.

An incision into the ostium
to the aortic root.

You heard the man. Let's get to cutting.



How do you feel?

Still itching to climb these walls?

Thanks for talking me down.

That could have been... ugly.

(CHUCKLES)

You know, I never pegged you
for a Spider-Man fan.

Always pictured you watching
a -part Ken Burns doc

on the history of pencils.

Mm. (CHUCKLES)

Isabel dragged me to the first movie,

and I loved it.

Peter Parker reminded me
of myself at that age.

Science nerds unite.

(SIGHS) She really knew me well.

When I was a first-year,

I had this nightmare shift,

and this other resident insisted,

instead of going home and falling apart,

that we see the matinee of Spider-Man .

Thought it would cheer me up.

- That's a good friend.
- Yeah.

Melendez was pretty cool.

Seeing those movies became
a bit of a tradition for us.

I haven't seen the new one yet.

It feels... off without him.

Yeah.

It isn't the same
without Isabel, either.

The other day, I was working on

projected hospital goals for the year,

and it got me thinking about...

The life goals I had set for myself.

Mm.

A new house...

The presidency...

Kids.

And I never imagined
a version without Isabel.

And here I am...

Alone, surrounded by people who hate me.

Yeah, not that I blame them.



I don't hate you.

Don't get me wrong,
you're a major pain in the ass.

And I do not love the way
you became president,

but it's a level of responsibility

I don't even want to comprehend.

And you make it look
so easy it's infuriating.

And you're actually not half bad at it.

Tell anyone I said that

and I'll tell them you
tried to run into a wall.

(CHUCKLES)

(INHALES DEEPLY)

Don't move.

There's a snake beside you.



And done.

Decrease the flow and
let's check out the heart.

(MONITOR BEEPING)

Function's not improving.

Heart's not getting adequate perfusion.

We need a bigger fix.

(MONITOR ALARM)

We can make a patch, widen the vessel,

and increase the blood flow,
but that's not ideal.

The risk of thrombosis is too high.

He might not even last a few hours.

We could move the left coronary artery

from the right side of the aorta

and re-implant it to the correct side.

That's a hell of an idea.

Dr. Murphy, take the lead.



We need to get back on full bypass.

- prolene sutures.



That was good work.

(SIGHS)

I shouldn't have cut you
out of the surgery earlier.

I'm sorry.

It's been a long time since
I've done an all-nighter.

I thought it was quite invigorating.

I need a Scotch.

It's : a.m.

I know. Care to join?



Officially cleared for discharge.

I wanted to apologize for before.

I was kind of an ass.

You were right before.
I wasn't being myself with you,

or... not my whole self at least.

I was a bit of a goofball in college.

My buddies still can't believe
I work in a hospital.

I like to think I've changed, but...

That part of me is still there

and tends to come roaring back
when I'm around them.

And you thought that
would be an issue for me?

You're a doctor.

I figured you wanted
someone smart, mature...

Serious.

That's what I thought you wanted.

I spent so much of my life
in Orthodox world...

I still don't feel like
I know what I'm doing.

And you seemed like
you had it all figured out.

It felt...

It felt intimidating.

I have so little figured out,

except that I'm really into you.

I'm meeting my friends
at Grant's Tavern.

If you're still interested?

LEA: Say. Yes.

You okay?

All good. Just waiting for Shaunie.

(CHUCKLES)



As your surgeon,

I advise no exercise for six weeks,

keep the wound dry.

I'm well aware.

Please, listen to your surgeon.

Dr. Reznick, nice to see you.

Last time we were all together

was in the
operating room during my solo surgery...

Please leave.

I've been thinking about the recliner.

Mm.

Was I, uh, ranting about that thing?

You were.

I thought we could keep it
in the living room,

but get it re-upholstered
in a fabric we agree on.

Make it something
that represents us both.

No purple.

Otherwise, deal.

S... Do you remember
anything else from last night?

(CHUCKLES)

Beyond that I should
never dance in public again?

No. Why?

Was there something important?

No, nothing important.

(INHALES DEEPLY)



(SIGHS)

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

(CELL PHONE BEEPS)

Hey.

DR. ANDREWS: Hey. Get home all right?

I did. Everything okay?

Better than okay. Turn on your TV.

Channel .

(SIGHS)

You know, I was thinking,
how about a weekly meeting?

Be good to keep a line
of communication open.

I'd like that, thanks.



Spider-Man , awesome.

DOCTOR OCTOPUS: We'll do it here.

"The power of the sun
in the palm of my hand."

"Nothing will stand in our way."

- "Nothing!"
- "Nothing!"

To us evolving.



Hm.

I think I prefer tequila.

(CHUCKLES) You've got a lot to learn.
