And you remembered

We've missed you in choir

Mm. I had another crisis,

ended up in a different hospital,

the docs I wasn't an addict.

But you know, it seems like God decided

I was due for an upgrade

That's an excellent compliment.

You know, I think so, too.

There are no viable treatment options,

How about vagus nerve stimulation?

Nice. It hasn't been testedc

for early onset cases.

- Not viable.
- Focused ultrasound.

That may stabilize the plaque burden,

but would not improve clinical symptoms.

- Not viable.
- Deep brain stimulation.

I did some homework.

Highly invasive with limited efficacy.

deep brain stimulation,

Stimulating the hippocampus

So... viable?

Yes.

Alright. Nice.

PARK: You have benign tumors
near your brain stem

called vestibular schwannomas.

The one on your right is very large,

causing the imbalance and hearing loss.

Benign is good, though, right?

They're growing.

If left untreated, eventually,
they will k*ll you.

We recommend surgical removal of both.

Surgery will be complicated

because of your recent

Taking care of people is my job.

WOMAN: [ON TELEVISION]
This is my wedding dress.

Oh, that's gorgeous.

She's turning red.
I will have a heart att*ck.

Go change. Go change.

for your wedding day.

[VIDEO CALL CONTINUES RINGING]

- ASHER: We had a date.
- Yeah, I know we had a...

I wore my nice cashmere sweater,

the one that you bought me
for our anniversary.

- I know, I...
- But you were too busy, right?

You were probably hooking up
with Carter Nix.

- What?
- And, sure, we never talked about

ground rules, but I just thought...

- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop.

I am so sorry that I missed our date,

but jet lag is kicking my ass,

so I fell asleep, unfed, uncharged,

which is why my phone's
been dead all day today.

But I have zero interest

in anyone in the entire world
besides you.

And Carter Nix will not stop
doing the Aussie accent.

And it's... it's terrible.

You look adorable, by the way.

Alright, I'll get the wine.

Well, mission accomplished.

Thank you for your help.

Oh, no. Happy to help.

You have no idea.

So, how do you like to consume your TV?

Are you a binger or a savorer?

Oh. [CHUCKLES]

Yeah, no, I don't really
watch much anymore at all.

Then what's with the TV tray?

Just an excuse
to spend time with Audrey.

Thought we'd do better with an activity.

See, and here you are, stuck with me.

Oh. No.

You have been very sweet.

I just wish Audrey liked me more.

Yeah, parenting, not for the meek, huh?

Speaking from experience?

Yeah.

How many kids?

My daughter. She passed when she was 19.

Oh, I am so sorry.

I-I didn't mean...

No, no, no, no, no. It's fine.

- After you.
- [SIGHS]

May I ask,

what was your daughter's name?

Maddie.

What is that smell?

Oh, my God. Best crepes in town.
May I buy you one?

I would k*ll for a Galette Bretonne.

I don't know what that is,
but it sounds delicious.
