08x07 - The Good News Is...

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "Royal Pains"...

Hank, I want to apply to medical school.

It's the admissions office
from Johns Hopkins.

I'm wait-listed.

Is it true?

Doctor called this afternoon

and if all goes well,

we could be pregnant by
the end of the month.

Hello, Ms. Green.

I'm Dr. Sacani from HankMed.

Is this you being nice,

or you wanting to know
what happens in book six?

Um, both.

I got big news. I'm getting married!

That's a little sudden, no?

You know, Hank, your
father blames himself

for all of your relationship problems.

What do you mean?

He's afraid you've become more like him

and he thinks that's why you
can't seem to settle down.

I had a major dishonesty relapse.

But it won't happen again, right?

Never.

Paige and I will come to your wedding,

but make no mistake,

my first job as a parent

will be protecting my family from you.

I can't believe we finally

- I know.
- God.

I'm trying not to be nervous.

- Do I seem nervous?
- A little.

Yeah, I'll try harder.

Slow. Click, click.

I will have you know

that we were rehearsing this
dance for Newberg, not Dad.

So don't think I'm forgiving him, okay?

Okay.

Actually, since you're flying solo,

do you want to borrow
my wife to practice?

- Thank you, honey...
- Oh...

But I'm happy to help.

Ms. Newberg expects you out on
the dance floor too, you know.

Yeah, thank you, but maybe another time.

Sure.

Um, oh, if it's okay,
I'd like your plus one.

The wedding's become a hot
ticket all of a sudden

and the administrator over
at Riverhead Hospital

really wants to go.

Yeah, it's not okay.

Okay, babe, we got a lot of work to do.

Okay. Excuse me.

I take it the staff
meeting isn't happening.

Uh, no, and do you mind being
on call for a few hours?

We've got an important
wedding commitment

and we don't wanna be late for it.

Okay, just five more minutes.

Oh, my God.

I can't believe we're about to meet

the Annette Bellamy.

I grew up watching her movies, okay?

And my parents took me to see
her on Broadway three times.

Can you try to stand
as still as possible?

Oh, my bad.

Maybe, Paige, you should
gush a little less

when she gets here,
for both their sakes.

Oh, that's all right.
Annette is used to it.

That's what you get when
you're a living legend.

- What a dump.
- Darling!

[CHUCKLES]

Annette, this is Divya.

And Paige, the peppy
girl married to Evan

and the PA, you told me.

Oh, my God. I just, like...

Oh, my God, it's...

it's like you.

It's like you. It's like you right here.

Like...

I've watched you in every
movie you have ever made.

I used to pretend that I was
you in "Hold Me Closer."

Why'd you stop?

Uh...

Sh... Uh...

Relax. I'm messing with you.

Oh.

But I'll tell you one thing,

it was this woman...

she's the one who has the real talent.

If she hadn't made a career
out of getting married,

she could have been a
bigger star than I am.

Oh, Ms. Newberg, you acted?

- I dabbled.
- Ha.

She had presence. She had poise.

She had balls.

[LAUGHS] How's the new show?

Time of my life.

Cumberbatch gets a little
handsy now and then.

Annette just flew in from London

where she's working on
a new musical version

of "Uncle Vanya."

BOTH: Oh.

I am so happy you are here.

I couldn't do this without you.

Clearly.

I've been to all five of her weddings.

Well, this is my last one.

Eddie is the only man I ever loved...

for more than a year.

Wait till you see me in my new dress.

Oh, I sizzle.

I think this is my
Schmoopy's way of telling me

to lay off the Oreos.

Maybe.

Hey, Evan, could you give
your dad a hand here?

I think you can handle it.

No, no, no, I... I...

you know what it... it's the wrong size.

I can't figure this out.

Uh, Dad, cumberbunds are adjustable.

Yeah. Hank, would you do me a favor?

Go and see what Ms. Newberg says.

You know, I-I would like to,

but I can't see her in her
dress before the wedding.

Really?

Well, cumberbunds are
so important to her.

Oh, yeah. Okay.

I'm gonna go with him.

- Divya.
- Yes?

I hear you're going to medical school.

Uh, yes.

I just don't know where yet.

And Paige, you're trying
to get knocked up?

[LAUGHS] Wow.

Ms. Newberg really did fill you in.

All right, girls,
fasten your seat belts.

Evan, and your sister, Emma.

Didn't see that one coming.

That's not exactly...

You know what, he's just being modest.

It's like a sickness.

Speaking of which,

I think that Annette
needs one of your exams.

I do not need an exam.

Ms. Newberg and I are very worried

what with all of the events
coming up for the wedding.

So, Annette, what's going on?

Ask Mr. Doctor over there.

She has trouble hearing,
she has trouble sleeping,

and she's weak.

- Am I right?
- Welcome to life in your 60s.

Uh-huh.



Anyway, how about you
let me draw some blood,

get some more of your
history, and do a CT?

Just to make sure Mr.
Doctor here isn't right.

Fine.

But these symptoms are probably
just from my hearing aids.

I think the batteries d*ed.

Easy peasy. He can fix them.

Uh, Dad, you don't fix
batteries, you replace them.

But if anybody can do it, you can do it.

He takes household items
and makes medical devices.

I'm not kidding. He's

It was a second-story job,

in a cut crystal decanter

of the finest Canadian whiskey.

Huh.

Annette, is something wrong?

Hmm?

Oh, right. Oh.

Those symptoms your father said I had,

he's smarter than he looks.

Hmm.

Why didn't you tell me before?

It's none of your business.

Okay.

And because I don't want it to be true.

My memory's all funny.

I can't remember how to get
to the theater sometimes.

Can't even remember the cocktails
that I had last night.

It's Alzheimer's,

an ugly name for an ugly disease.

Look, memory loss can be a
symptom of a lot of things,

like lack of sleep, too many cocktails,

or even old age.

Not that you're old or drink too much.

How's your sleep?

I've never been a good sleeper...

- too much to do, until now.
- Mm.

I'll have to quit the show,

quit the business.

It's been my life since I was 19.

Mm.

Have you had trouble remembering
things from your past?

Just new things,

like my lines for the play.

I just stand there like a half-wit.

It's called anterograde memory loss,

and while, yes, that might
be a symptom of Alzheimer's,

you might be suffering from something

that's completely reversible,

like encephalopathy or dehydration.

So let's wait till the
test results come back

before we worry too much.

It's gonna be okay.

I peeked at the end.

How are you not a giant
puddle of tears right now?

Oh, I was,

and if it weren't for
Eddie, I still would be.

Eddie who?

Eddie your father.

I, um, did my best to hide it,

you know, to keep it inside,

but he took one look at me and he knew.

Yeah, well, he's always been
very good at reading people.

It's what makes him a good con man.

He wasn't conning me. He was helping me.

Yeah, so you would tell
me and I'd forgive him.

That's what he does. He's
always working an angle.

You cannot trust my father, Paige.

Okay.

You have so much anger towards him,

and I get it,

but you have to figure
out how to let that go

because I want a family...
a happy family...

and that can't happen with you carrying

your anger around all the time.

Look,

I was ready to just give
up on IVF completely,

but after one pep talk with Eddie,

I want to sign up for

Have you noticed any auditory

I wish you'd told me sooner.
They're a symptom.

That my memories, along with my career,

Hallucinations are not a
symptom of Alzheimer's.

- They're not?
- Neither are seizures.

being the guy with integrity

who listens and learns

and is happy.

So...

it's my hope that your marriage
brings you the same, Dad.

I love you. Mazel tov.

I love you.

[GLASSES CLINK]

Mazel tov.

I could not have asked for
a better wedding present.

Dad, you know you pushed it too far

when even with your health scare

Evan wouldn't come around.

The health scare made
it worse, actually.

What if we lost you

without even saying good-bye?

Like, I can't do that again.

Again?

You were there for your mom.

No, I wasn't. Not at the end.

Sure you were.

No, I wasn't.

That last night at the
hospital, you went alone.

You said you didn't want
me to see her like that.

Remember?

Evan, I'm so sorry.

I thought I was protecting you.

I know. It's okay.

I'm the one who should be sorry.

I made you do...

an adult's job.

You were such a little boy.

Come here.

All right, here's my promise:

I will never take my sons'

love for granted.

Hmm.

Marriage is a promise

between two people who love each other,

who trust that love,

who honor one another as individuals

in that togetherness,

and who wish to spend the
rest of their lives together.

Will you have this man
to be your husband,

to live together in the
covenant of marriage?

ALL: Mazel tov!

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

You know, this is all
because of you, Hank.

If you hadn't fixed my
flat tire way back then,

I never would have met my sweet Eddie.

Well, it was and is my pleasure.

You were Newparts Newberg back then.

And you were a citiot,

but not anymore.

Nice castle for a wedding.

Do I get to meet the infamous owner?

Uh, Boris and Marissa said
they were coming, but...

Well, they sent a gift,
a very heavy gift.

Like a brick.

We haven't opened it yet.

Brick heavy or gold bar heavy?

I will be right back.

[LAUGHTER]

I know it hasn't been easy
right now for you and Paige,

but you've been a good
husband to my daughter

and I just wanted to thank you.

I underestimated you.

Thank you, General Collins.

And I know you'll be a good father

to our grandchild,

whenever that happens.

That means a lot,

especially coming from you, sir.

Maybe it's time I call
you by your first name.

What do you think?

I don't think so, son.

Kind of like our wedding.

Yeah.

Minus a couple of hundred guests,



it's just like it.

And I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Me neither.

I'll go get us some drinks.

[CELL PHONE CHIMES]

[SIGHS]

- Are you having fun?
- I am.

Thank you for bringing me.
It's a beautiful wedding.

Well, it's no Garden of Zall.

[LAUGHS]

It's gorgeous, and...

it's very romantic.

[GLASS CLINKING]

May I have everyone's attention?

My spouse, my groom, my lover,

it's time for us to dance,

but first, I want to introduce you all

to a very dear friend of mine,

world-famous violinist, Mr. Joshua Bell.

Thank you, Ms. Newberg, it's...

it's always great to play
at one of your weddings.

Congratulations to you both.

Thank you.

Here you go.

Annette? Annette, are you okay?

I'm having a headache,

Okay, okay, I'm getting
you back to the hospital.

I'm worried you may have a brain bleed.

What about the cake?

I'll make sure they save you a piece.

Annette. Annette.

Okay, I got you. I got you.

So, Annette,

the MRI results showed a
cavernous malformation

that the CT missed.

It's a cluster of abnormally
formed blood vessels

bleeding in your brain.

Is that why I've been
having hallucinations?

Yes, and you developed epilepsy

caused by the presence
of the malformation,

but the surgery will evacuate
the bleeding and remove it.

I'm sorry to say, you will lose
your musical hallucinations,

but the good news is

you should full recover
and can continue doing

what you love for years to come.

Oh. Oh, my.
