04x04 - Moving On and Mother Hens

Post by bunniefuu »

- Previously on The Resident...
- I saw Yorn.

- Did he say why he hasn't hired a CEO?
- They're selling the hospital.

- Oh.
- I need to show Yorn that Chastain

is worth a hell of a lot
more than he thinks it is.

My father, when he d*ed,

I didn't even get
to say goodbye.

What I would do for just
one more day with my dad.

Sorry. Losing
someone is never easy.

I'll get someone
to cover for you.

No.

I'm okay. I just need a minute.

(takes deep
breath) It's official.

A baby? (laughing)

(laughs)

- (bell tinkles) -
(laughs): What is this?

Uh, breakfast in bed.

- Where did you even get this?
- Ah...

NIC: Pancakes?

Your favorite.

- Blue wildflowers. - Aw...

Nic's favorite berries. Ah!

Get in there, get in there.

All right. Mmm. Mmm.

Whose dad do we want to call first,
yours or mine?

I think we should
wait a little longer.

Well, sure,
there's no rush to tell anyone.

I mean, right?

Your pregnancy is
already further along

than it was last time.

This time is gonna be different,
and it's...

it's gonna be okay. You know that,
right?

But we can't.

I had a miscarriage,
and it was awful.

And if it happens again,

I don't want to have
to tell everyone,

so I just...

just want to wait a little longer,
okay?

Of course.

Whatever you want.

Thank you.

(knocking on door)

(Devon groans)

(knocking continues)

I'm coming.

(groans)

(rapid knocking)

All right!

Did I park in someone's
spot or something?

- (rapid knocking)
- (sighs) Okay!

Mom. What are you...

- what are you doing here?
- Surprise.

I thought I'd finally
come visit my s...

What happened to you?

Oh,
my God. Were you in a car accident?

I knew something
was wrong. I knew it.

A mother always knows.

Mom, I'm fine.

We had an ER
patient with psychosis,

and... someone should have
restrained him immediately,

but we missed it,
and then he was...

swinging at a nurse, and I...

uh, went in to help.

Yeah, in retrospect,
I should have just left it to the...

security.

You are a hero.

My poor boy. (sighs)

But where are your pajamas, huh?

And, uh...

what is that smell?

You know, just wait right
here. I just got to... I'll wash up.

Hey, don't worry.

I-I'm going to take
care of everything.

(sighs)

(panting)

- (indistinct announcement over
P.A.) -(footsteps approaching)

(Austin chuckles)

The way you
drive like a hellion,

I was sure you'd b*at me here.

Normally, I would b*at you here,
because you drive like a nun,

but today... I stopped for this.

- Doughnuts. - Mm.

Maple. I believe
they're your favorite.

(chuckles) And I
believe you mentioned

a fondness for
breakfast burritos.

Oh, I do not hate

this part of being
in a relationship.

Oh, such high praise.

Tell me, what can I do to
make sure you stay this effusive?

There is one thing.

Uh,
you can... (takes deep breath)

marry me.

My 0-1 visa is expiring.

I knew it was coming,
so I applied way in advance.

Yesterday I found
out it was denied.

Mina,
you should have told me this yesterday.

I was gonna tell you
when I came over last night,

but you had made
such a nice dinner,

and I didn't want to ruin it,
so... I said nothing.

And then we got
occupied with other things.

I don't understand
why the government

would deny your renewal,

as many American
lives as you've saved.

Since February of 2020,
Nigerians are no longer able

to obtain visas to immigrate
to the U.S. permanently.

If I want to stay,
I have to find a way

to renew my current visa
or marry an American citizen.

- You are terrible at this.
- I applied months in advance.

No, no, I mean this.

You know, Mina,
proposals usually come...

with a ring.

- And a carefully crafted
speech - (clears throat)

about commitment and love,
full of compliments.

Flowers wouldn't hurt, either.

- Okay, so will you do it?
- (stammers)

You didn't even buy
me a nice dinner first.

I got you doughnuts.

True. And they're maple.

Hey. Come here.

Mm... (inhales)

Breathe.

It's gonna be okay, Mina.

We can make this work.

All right?

Love.

Honor.

Obey.

Ooh, I love the way that sounds.

- Don't you? - Okay, uh,

maybe we are rushing this.

Oh, no,
we're definitely rushing this.

(Austin chuckles)

What's that about?

Good morning.

Good question.

How's the other guy look?

Funny.

I couldn't sleep,
so I went out for a bike ride

in the middle of the night.

And it was pitch black,
and I was tired.

Yeah, I know.

- It was stupid. - Mm.

I, uh,
hit a curb and I wiped out.

Oh, and then my mother showed
up this morning unannounced and,

uh, I lied to her about it,

because I didn't
want her to worry.

(scoffs) Anything
else you want to know?

Well, your father passed away,
and...

It's been months.

- I'm fine. - You're not fine.

You're grieving. You don't
need to put a timeline on it.

Getting through it
takes as long as it takes.

- Let's just talk about how you're feeling.
- Okay.

I said fine.

You don't need to ask me again.

WOMAN: Excuse me? Excuse me?

Can we get some help?

Okay, what's going on?

My daughter Trinity
needs medical attention.

No, I don't.

What's happening, Trinity?

Show them.

It looks worse than it is.

My mom is making
this a big thing.

Your hand looks
like a sea monster.

It's a big thing.

Whatever. I
tripped on the stairs.

You, too?

Um, bike accident.

I don't need sedation.

Just pop my fingers
back into place.

Trust me,
I have a high pain tolerance.

Look how well she
tolerated the existential pain

of being stuck at home with
her mom during lockdown.

I was supposed to
speak at my graduation.

Then I didn't go
to college in the fall

'cause it's all
distance learning.

Apologies for our family
drama. It's been a year.

Well,
we're ready to fix your fingers

if you really want
to do it that way.

- CONRAD: Positive? - Yep.

Okay.

Trinity, look at your mom.

Let's remember the
good parts of lockdown.

- (cracks) - (grunting)

The tap shoes.

-The quail. -(cracks) -(grunts)

- Quail? - We incubated eggs

and raised them to adulthood.

- Kept the only girl.
- Sidney Vicious.

Ah,
Sidney Vicious. I love that name.

She's coming with me
when I get my own apartment,

which I'm supposed
to look at today.

(whispers): Finally.

You're all done.

You should be good
to apartment hunt now.

Actually,
there's something else.

- This wasn't Trinity's first fall.
- Mom, stop.

You said we didn't have to...

She's been off lately.

Something with her balance,
maybe.

We can take a look at that.

I said no. I just want
to go and get my...

If you want a cosigner
for that apartment,

you will stay in that bed
and let the doctors work.

CONRAD: It will be quick.

We'll get X-rays on
your hand just to be safe.

And then we'll be
back for a full physical.

I'll let imaging know.

MAN (over P.A.): Procurement
coordinator to the ICU.

Quail.

Maybe Nic and I need
to bring some variety

to our chicken coop, huh?

Well, it sounds like Trinity...

wants independence
more than any bird.

I hear the mother-daughter
thing can be tough sometimes.

Yeah, the mother-son thing
is no walk in the park, either.

My mom wants to know
where I keep the disinfectant,

the trash bags,
the good toilet paper.

- (laughs) -This is the
last thing I need right now.

I don't know. Maybe you
can set some boundaries

with her or something?

I'm not really looking
for advice here.

I'm doing my job,
I'm not making any mistakes.

Anything beyond that
is not your business.

It's my business that my
friend is upset and grieving.

Can you stop
trying to doctor this?

Okay? I need a minute.
Can you handle the exam?

- Yeah. - Okay.

So the good news is
that the PR coming in

from my show's segment
on the patient helped.

And Yorn thinks that Chastain
might still be valuable enough

to take selling the
hospital off the table.

The bad news is,

they're talking about filling
the empty CEO seat with me.

I thought you weren't
keen on the job anymore,

- you were focusing on surgery.
- Trust me, I don't want it.

Even if I said yes,

Red Rock could
still dump Chastain

if we don't rebound financially.

And we'd be under the thumb
of some other conglomerate.

And there are
companies out there

that are way worse
than Red Rock.

Well,
here's something to cheer you up.

There's a rather attractive
young woman over there

who can't take her eyes off you.

Do you know her?

No.

- No. - Oh.

Here she comes.

I'm so sorry to interrupt,

but can I?

Interrupt, I mean? (laughs)

I love your show.

- Ah. - That segment on scurvy.

I-I don't have scurvy,
but you made me feel like I did.

Well, that's high praise.

That's... that's
very kind of you.

- What's your name? - Fiona.

Well, it's lovely to meet you,
Fiona.

Thank-thank you for
watching the show.

You're... so nice.

Could I?

- Yeah. Of course. Of course.
- (laughs)

(camera clicks)

This is my lucky day.

- Thank you. - You bet.

You are so happy right now.

- No comments from you.
- (laughing)

All right.

I've got some good news for you,
Trinity.

- Nothing's broken.
- TRINITY: Great.

I don't need any more tests?

Let's get out of here.

(chuckles): No.
Get back in that bed.

Trinity?

Walk toward me.



Your steps are uneven.

Did you feel a little
off-balance when you fell?

I mean,
I wasn't totally awake yet.

I was tired.

I feel like I've been
tired the whole... (grunts)

- What's wrong? - Nothing.

My heart's a little fluttery,
that's all. (groans)

Heather.

Need to get her on the monitor.

Let's see what's going on.

I'm fine.

- I'm f...
- (monitor beeping rapidly)

I knew it. What's
wrong with her?

CONRAD: Easy, easy, easy.

(beeping stops)

She just fainted.

What happened?

You just bought yourself
some more time in the hospital.

Got a call I have a visitor.

Hi again.

♪ ♪

- (chuckles) - Um...

Fiona? Right?

I'm sorry to drop in
unannounced. I'll be quick.

I'm actually curious about
employment at Chastain.

- (chuckles) - Uh,
well... (stammers)

I admire the gusto.

Um,
hiring is sort of... (chuckles)

- It's outside my purview.
- I know, it's just I'm...

I'm trying to switch paths,

so I'm looking for
something entry-level.

And after seeing
the way that you

talk about Chastain on your show,
and then...

when I met you in person,

I got all inspired.

It felt like fate.

Well, HR is on two, east wing.

And you can tell
them Dr. Bell sent you.

(chuckles): Thank you so much.

- You're amazing. - Okay.

Yes! (chuckles)

Hey. So...

I assume you've spoken to Mina.

I talk to Mina all the time.

So you know about the proposal?

No.

No, you-you did not propose.

You've been dating for,
like, five seconds.

Why would you
jump the g*n like that?

Mina Okafor proposed to me.

Yeah, she needs a green card
so she doesn't get deported.

- What? - Yeah.

(sighs) How can I help?

Well...

You can help plan a wedding.

It has to happen quick,
so it can't be elaborate.

You know, small guest list,
tasteful, intimate.

Wait, so this is a real wedding?

Well,
under normal circumstances,

it'd be way too early.

- Way. - But...

we will rise to the occasion.

And just figure out if
you want to be married

- while being married.
- (pager vibrating)

Well, that's what most people do anyway,
right?

They're just not
honest about it.

All right. Oh.

Duty calls.

You are a doll.

(Nic sighs)

Nic?

You okay?

(inhales sharply) Yeah.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Well, it turns out biking
at night is not a good idea,

which is why I
was looking for you.

Uh, I need a small favor.

- Okay. - So, I can't sleep.

And I am exhausted.

So I was taking meds to help,
but my doctor's out of town,

so he can't refill the script.

- Mm-hmm? - So I just need

something to sleep,
just enough for a couple days.

I mean, Devon, we're friends.

We don't have a
clinical relationship.

I know, but if-if I don't sleep,
I'm not gonna be able to focus.

And I'm not gonna ask Conrad,
'cause he's gonna worry

for nothing. My next day off,

I'll go straight to the doctor.

- Are you on any other medication?
- No.

- And this is just to get you over the hump?
- Yes, this one time.

All right,
I'm sending this to the pharmacy.

Zolpidem, five milligrams.
I'm only giving you three pills.

If you need more,
you go to your doctor.

For sure.

Thank you.

(sighs) Hey,
are you sure you're okay?

Yeah.

Good.

(sighs deeply)

Trinity's arrhythmia
broke on its own.

Her heart is
structurally normal.

So why are these
cardiac events happening?

This is a 19-year-old female

with sporadic runs of
non-sustained V tach

that are symptomatic.

Echo is not impressive.

Interesting.

That is a wide-open box.

- Any other history?
- Her mother reports

difficulty with coordination.

Otherwise healthy.

All right, well,
keep her on telemetry.

And grab me another
EKG now that she's in sinus.

Will do.

Come in.

Sorry again.

(chuckles)

I left my résumé
with the lady in HR.

Is there something else?

I thought you'd want to see it.

Okay.

Thank you.



This is not a résumé.

- Let's call it my headshot.
- Oh, no, no.

This is... No, no.

This is not your head.

And-and this,
this is not appropriate.

You know, I'm gonna ask you...

- to leave. - (beeps)

- Don't pretend this isn't real.
- Just...

- stand back. Kit.
- I know you want me.

Kit. Dr. Voss. Could you
come in here for just...

- just a moment?
- Yes, Randolph.

I know you.

- You're the girl from this morning.
- Fiona.

(quietly): She's
acting psychotic.

And security's been notified.

You called security?

Well... (stammers) because

we are gonna get you some...

We're gonna get you some help.

(growling)

(barking loudly)

Stop her! Stop her!

- Fiona. Fiona. Fiona.
- I need five of Haldol for IM.

Look at me. Look at me.
We're gonna get you some help.

We'll take a little
trip down to the ER.

I'll be there with
you the whole time.

(growling, grunting)

KIT: There you go.

There you go, darling.

Just give it a minute.
You'll be okay.

(panting)

Nice work.

- (phone rings) - (exhales)

Hey, Mom.

Can you pick up laundry
detergent on your way home?

- I had plenty.
- Now you have none,

but you have clean clothes

and linens.

You didn't have to do that.

(sighs)

Your home is lonely.

You are lonely.

You need a partner.

No. No, I don't.

No, don't-don't do that.

Check your phone.

Don't forget the detergent.

Love you.

(phone chimes)

(scoffs)

(quietly): Are you
getting deported?

I will k*ll AJ Austin.

(scoffs) You can't marry a corpse,
Mina.

(sighs) Why didn't you tell me?

Uh,
because saying it makes it real.

Not saying it
doesn't change that.

I didn't want you to get upset.

All right? It's not
an ideal situation,

but AJ and I are handling it.

We'll do it quickly.

And I'll be safe
from deportation.

"Quickly"? He wants a wedding.

This is real to him.

Of course it's real.

Sort of real.

It's also business.

A real marriage and a
business arrangement

are two separate things.

- I mean, it can't be both.
- Why not?

By definition,
a marriage is a business arrangement.

You are linking your finances,
your housing arrangement,

your professional
and biological plans

to someone else. It makes sense.

It makes sense
if you're in love.

Are you in love with him?

Okay.

The reason I didn't
want you to get upset

is because I think
you also have a secret.

Yesterday,
you took a power nap in the nurses' lounge.

You have developed
the superpower

- to smell doughnuts a hall away.
- (sighs)

Your hair is extra lustrous.

And some might
say you're glowing.

(chuckles softly)

- Okay, it's early. - Mm-hmm.

- I'm not ready to talk about it.
- Okay.

I will keep your secret.

Please keep mine.

For now.

And congratulations.

(footsteps approaching)

Your girl here is
a missing person.

I called her house and
talked to her roommate.

Two days ago,
she left for groceries and never came home.

Pravesh said her head
CT came back normal.

No dr*gs in her system.

Did the roommate say
anything about a history

- of mental illness? - I asked.

None that she knew of.

She's trying to get in
touch with her family

on the West Coast.

Then maybe this
is a new diagnosis.

- It might be her first psychotic break.
- Mm.

She's in the right age range.

Can't treat her till
we find out what it is.

Well, Dr. Pravesh is on
his way to do a full exam.

- I'll keep you posted.
- Okay. Thank you.

Lots of people faint.

True. But you fainted

because your heart
was b*ating abnormally.

We need to find out why.

We ordered a few more lab tests,
okay, Trinity?

Mmm. Your coffee
smells like heaven.

- Is that hazelnut? - Yeah.

- I'm gonna go get us some, Trin.
- That's weird.

I can't smell it.

What do you mean
you can't smell it?

(sniffs) What about this?

My perfume?

She can't have COVID, can she?

Let's all just take a breath.

Loss of smell can be a
symptom of multiple things.

No, no, no,
no. We were so careful.

We-we-we got all our
groceries delivered.

- We didn't see friends. We...
- It could be allergies or a cold.

Even when we joined a
pod and we tested positive,

we-we-we were lucky because
we didn't have any symptoms.

- Okay. Good, good.
- (breathing heavily)

The danger's
supposed to be over.

It's supposed to
be... safe. (mumbles)

- Whoa. - Mom.

- Whoa. Gotcha, gotcha. - Mom!

♪ ♪

Mom...

- are you okay?
- Your mom's stable.

They're just taking a look at
her heart with an ultrasound.

MINA: Akinesis of
the postero-basal wall.

Circumflex infarct.

That explains the
non-diagnostic EKG.

Is that bad? It sounds bad.

Your mom collapsed because she's

actually having a
heart att*ck right now.

Oh,
my God. How is that possible?

Her EKG shows evidence

of another heart
att*ck in the past.

Has your mom ever had chest
pain or shortness of breath before?

The protests.

When George Floyd was m*rder*d.

We made our signs
and we went out there.

It was supposed to be peaceful,
but it didn't matter.

They tear gassed us all.

That must've been awful.

I recovered pretty quickly,
but Mom said

she felt like an elephant
was sitting on her chest.

I wanted to take
her to the hospital,

but she was afraid we were
gonna catch COVID again.

Back then,
we didn't know if that was possible.

She was afraid.

Okay, that could be it.

Tear gas can cause stress

on the heart and
aggravate cardiac issues.

Your mom has a good
chance of recovery.

We need to get her
to a cath lab now.

We'll put a stent in to
open up the clogged arteries

- in her heart. - Don't worry.

It's a routine procedure, okay?

Mom?

I love you.

I love you, too, baby girl.

I'll be right back to
cosign for that apartment.

Okay.



AUSTIN: Okay,
you got to get it closer to the vessel wall

before you deploy.

I'm trying to rotate it,
but I can't get the stent

- into position.
- Well, see, it's a tight spot.

(monitor beeping)

No blood flow. She's in V tach!

Charge the defib to 200.

Any sign of trauma?

Not yet.

There's no bruising,
no breaks in the skin at all.

It looks like Fiona
works as a paralegal

while in law school.

No edema. No rashes.

She posts pictures of her
food and her feet in sandals.

No clues there.

BELL: Uh, hold on.

There's bruising
on her lower flank.

Grey Turner's sign?

Wait, wait. Feel this.

You're right.

There's a mass.

Let's take a look.

BELL: It's right there.

It's a tumor right
above her kidney.

Extending deep
towards her spine.

How long has she been
walking around with that in her?

If this is an adrenal
tumor secreting hormones,

it could be causing
her psychosis.

Certainly could explain her
interest in the famous Dr. Bell.

Zoom in.

There... active extravasation.

She's got a
retroperitoneal bleed.

Could've happened when
she was fighting with security.

Well,
if we don't get it out soon,

she's just gonna bleed out.

I'll get an OR ready.

CONRAD: I gave
the lab a heads-up

about putting a rush
on Trinity's bloodwork.

Nope. It's not my business.

- You do you.
- It's not a dating app.

It's my mom.

It's the tenth eligible
woman she's sent me today.

You getting enough sleep?

Oh, you're talking to Nic?

No,
but... if she noticed you look tired,

it's because you do.

Yeah, I'm tired.

But I'm handling it.

I get it. I've been there.

So much of what we
fight against is preventable.

It's like...


why am I drowning in debt

for this?

It's exhausting.

I don't know how
many different ways

- I can tell you that I'm fine.
- You don't have

to talk to me... I'll give you a name,
someone good.

But I'm not looking
to talk to anyone.

Drop it.

(knocking on door)

- Hi. - How's my mom?

Is she okay?

Dr. Austin and Dr. Okafor

are still with her
in the cath lab.

While we're waiting,

we want to run a
couple other tests on you.

I bet your mom would feel better

if we had some answers
when she came out.

Put your hands up like this.

Okay.

This is my fault, isn't it?

I pushed back about everything.

I argued with her all last year.

I'm why she was so stressed.

No. No, you didn't do this.

This past year was
stressful for everyone.

CONRAD: You can't blame yourself

for circumstances that
are out of your control.

That was a near miss
with that stent deployment.

Fine job back there.

- We do make a good team.
- (laughs)

That we do.

I have bad news.

I spoke to an
immigration lawyer.

If we get married,
it could raise red flags.

Why?

We've known each
other for years.

It's easy to prove we have
a basis for a real marriage.

But this version of us is new.

We don't have photos or
records of vacations together.

The government
will ask "Why now?"

They can ask all the
questions they want.

We got nothing to hide.

The lawyer said the
presumption will be

that our marriage
is not bona fide.

If there is an investigation
and it goes badly,

I'll get deported and not
allowed back in the country.

Not allowed back in the country?

You could face felony
charges for perjury.

Not if I don't perjure myself.

Mina, if we end up in court,
I will tell them the truth.

The marriage is real.

Unless you're saying
you don't think it'll be real.

Okay, AJ, you're not hearing me.

If we get married right
after my visa denial,

no matter what we say or do,
I can still get deported.

It's putting us both at
risk and I refuse to do that.

- So you're saying the wedding is off.
- I am.

We've got to deal with
this bigger problem first.

You can't marry or even
date someone who isn't here.

Ah.

Murgh makhani, bharta,

coconut barfi,
all of your favorites.

Mom,
the hospital has a cafeteria.

Well,
now you don't have to go there.

Or come home to filth.

Your room was
particularly a disaster.

- I discarded these things.
- Okay, stop.

Okay?

Did you like any of the
pictures that I sent you?

Hmm?

Listen,
I am not there right now.

Dating is not exactly on my radar,
okay?

Let-Let's go.

I thought we could eat together.

God,
you cannot just show up at my job

and expect me to drop
everything and go eat barfi with you.

You need to listen.

I-I eat cafeteria food,
I have women over

who might not be Indian,
and that is my choice.

I don't want any of
this. I don't need it.

You should have asked
before coming here.

We both miss your father.

I thought we could
help each other.

Well,
you should have called first.

My calls go straight
to voice mail.

And when you do answer,
it's always,

"I only have a minute,"
or "I have to get back."

I didn't ask if I could visit
because I knew you'd say no.

(exhales)

Two minutes in the microwave.

Well, the famous Sidney
Vicious won't be lonely tonight.

We should be able to
get you out of here soon.

You have a rare genetic
disease called Refsum syndrome.

- Does my mom have it, too?
- No.

She's a carrier of the mutation,
but to get the disease,

you have to have
two genetic defects.

Basically,
y-your body isn't able to process

a certain type of fat.

Over time,
that causes toxicity to multiple organs.

That's why you were falling.

And it's why your heart
was giving you trouble.

Here's the good news:
it's totally manageable.

We caught it early,
which is fantastic.

And my buddy Dr. Pravesh and I,
we think changes

in your diet are
gonna do the trick.

So we'll hook you
up with a nutritionist,

and we'll schedule
regular appointments

to keep an eye on everything.

I acted like everything was
fine because I wanted it to be.

You wanted life to
be normal. We all do.

Yeah,
but Mom knew something was wrong with me.

Yeah, well,
sometimes our parents

see things that we
don't see in ourselves.

I stomped around like the
world was happening to me.

While she was the one who
actually had something wrong.

CONRAD: Eh, don't take that on.

You and your mom,
you got through the impossible.

Cut yourself a
break. Celebrate it.

I've been so annoyed with
my mom this whole time,

but now it's like... I
just want her to be okay.

- I need her.
- (phone vibrating)

I'm pretty sure she needs you,
too.

It's Nic.

Go.

CONRAD: Oh, wow.

Doesn't matter how many
times I've seen one of these.

It's different when it's ours.

It's magical.

Oh, look. That's the heartbeat.

(both laugh)

- Ah. Looks like a fighter.
- GABBI: I agree.

Growing just like it should
be. That is a perfect baby.

(exhales): This is good.

I love you.

I love you, too.

(exhales)

Want to know what you're having?

- (laughs) - Uh...

TRINITY: Mom?

Mom?

I'm right here, Mama.

Hi, baby.

The doctors fixed your heart.

We managed to place a
stent in your blocked artery.

You get to go home
in a couple of days.

Well,
we didn't make it to your apartment.

It's okay.

I'm not moving out anymore.

I'm gonna stay home with you.

The hell you are.

You think I helped those wings
grow strong just to clip them?

You're ready to fly.

But what if you need me?

Then I'll call you.

BELL: Pickups to me.

KIT: These buggers
are everywhere.

BELL: Well,
we're making good progress.

Last time with one of these tumors,
it took hours to ligate

all vessels.

KIT: I think we're
lucky she's young,

and we caught this
while it was still small.

BELL: Metz?

KIT: I see why you
don't want to be CEO.

You're a wizard in the OR.

Still, Chastain needs you.

It's about quality of life, Kit.

That's why you should do it.

As CEO,
you can hire anyone you want.

- (scoffs) - Remind me,
Randolph.

What are the "Cs of
medical cash flow"?

- I'm not doing that.
- I'll start.

Chemo, cataracts,
colonoscopies. Come on, give me one.

- Cancer.
- Already covered when I said "chemo." Try again.

Cosmetic surgery.

There you go.

You could gain financial
ground by hiring a rock star

- plastic surgeon. - (scoffs)

Like your stepson Jake.

- Cauterize. - I am.

Trust me, the kid doesn't
want to be anywhere near me,

much less work under me.

Maybe you could sweeten
the deal if you took Yorn's offer.

Did I... did I give
you a picture?

Don't worry. It went
straight in the shredder.

Never mind. I don't want
to remember anything else.

No, it's not your fault.

You had a very
rare type of tumor

that secreted hormones,

and it caused your
behavior to change.

- What happens now?
- KIT: We have to wait

for pathology results
to stage it appropriately,

but we have some of
the finest oncologists

here who will help
with the next steps.

BELL: And we can already see
your mental status is improving.

Try not to be embarrassed.

If you hadn't
followed Dr. Bell here,

who knows when you
would've been diagnosed.

- Okay. But still, Dr. Bell.
- Mm.

You're like four
decades too old for me.

I don't think four is right.

You're like my grandpa.

Or father.

KIT: It's fortunate we caught it

- when we did. Get some rest.
- (Bell clears throat)

Let's go, Gramps.

Thanks.

Hey, Nic.

- Hey. - Um...

I'm giving these back to you.

And, um, I shouldn't have
put you in that weird position.

I'm sorry.

It did feel strange

giving them to you.

Um, but are you okay?

Everyone keeps asking me that.

I guess I need to figure it out.

Yeah, figuring it out will help.

And you know I'm here if you need anything,
right?

Yeah.

- Thanks again. - Mm.

What's all that about?

Well,
I was just texting everybody.

- Check your phone.
- (phone vibrates)

DEVON: I was with Nic

when she sent that
text. She didn't say why.

- Do you know why we're here?
- We'll find out soon enough.

I'm guessing a baby.
They just got married.

- It's got to be a baby.
- Shh. Don't jinx it.

We wanted you to
be the first to know.

- You're having a baby?
- Don't jinx it.

- (laughs) -Guess it was obvious.
- Oh!

- Fantastic news.
- Yeah, I'll have that now.

Here you go. Here you go.

- You want to do the honors?
- Thank you.

It's a girl.

(cheering)

You didn't waste any time there.

(laughter)

Yay! Congrats!

Cheers. Cheers.

DEVON: All right.

♪ Reason. ♪

(food sizzling)

(sniffing)

(door closes)

Hey, Mom.

I wanted to see for
myself that you are okay.

And now that I have,
I will be on a plane tomorrow.

(sighs) No.

Mom,
I'm... I'm sorry I lied to you.

I didn't get this
from an ER patient.

I told my friends at work that

I got in a bike accident,
and that was a lie, too.

(sighs)

Last night, I went to a bar,

and there was this guy,
six foot five, huge arms,

minding his own business.

I just got in a fight with him.

Oh, Devon.

Mom, that's not even the
first dumb thing I've done.

I just...

keep thinking about Dad,

you know, and...

what I could have
done different.

You know?

You cannot blame yourself.

If I...

just moved him to
a different hospital,

or spoke to his
doctors more often...

If I had made him
stop driving that taxi.

No, Mom. That was his choice.

And then, the system failed him.

And it failed us.

Listen, that isn't your fault.

Well, it's not yours, either.

(sniffles)

No,
his death was out of our control.

(exhales): Yeah.

We need each other.

Okay?

Please stay.

(sighs)

(sniffles) I will. I will.

Mm.

(sniffles)

(sighs)

Someone has to help you eat

all of this food.

(laughs)

(sniffles)

You could always
make a nice dinner

for one of the lovely women
in the pictures that I sent you.

Oh, my... You don't quit.

AJ?

Well,
if you came here to wish me good luck,

I'm offended.

I can do an inguinal
hernia repair in my sleep.

I'm not here for luck.

I need to tell you something.

I'm listening.

I don't often apologize,

because I rarely make mistakes,

but today, I made one.

I shouldn't have
proposed to you like that

without doing the
proper research.

You had every right to be upset.

You were in a tough spot.

You still are.

I asked you the impossible and
you agreed without hesitation.

I'm grateful for that.

Okay.

Nic asked me if
I'm in love with you.

I didn't know what to say then,
but...

now I do.

It's yes.

I am... in love with you.

(laughing)

So the end of today's
roller coaster ride is here.

And what a
beautiful ending it is.

Except, I may still be deported.

No. No, no,
that's not gonna happen.

We are not gonna let that happen,
guaranteed.

You know I love you, too, right?

I suspected so.

What'd I tell you?
Huh? Magnificent lobby.

- I think it would fall right in line with what...
- Jacob.

Your, uh, office

was my next stop
after I finished this tour.

Well, uh,

pardon the interruption.
Do you mind if I just steal him

for just a moment?

I've decided to accept
Red Rock's generous offer.

I'm confident, as CEO,

I can turn our financial
situation around.

And I have some
initial thoughts about...

Since last we spoke,
Red Rock has had

to make some very
difficult decisions.

So that CEO spot...
No longer open.

Who are you filling it with?

No one. We sold Chastain.

Well, um, I'll be happy to
work with the new conglomerate

- in any way...
- Look around. Look around.

We are standing on a
prime piece of real estate.

These buyers are developers.

Yeah.

They're turning Chastain
into luxury condos.

My apologies.

Why don't we walk over
to the elevators here.

I want you guys to get that
magnificent view from up top.
