Previously on "New Amsterdam"...
Why'd you tell everyone
we were a couple?
- Yeah, okay, look...
- We agreed
you were going to treat me
like everyone else.
As your newly minted
psych residency director,
you will be on this ward
with real patients,
and you will have me
in supervision as your teacher.
You and your girl work things out?
We did, but still
figuring out some details.
You want someone to replace Dr. Sharpe.
Something tells me Dr. Sharpe
is not replaceable.
Don't let her go.
- Did you find my replacement?
- I'm going with you.

to ask what Brantley said
when you told her that you were leaving.
Brantley? I'm sorry, who's Brantley?
- I'm not familiar.

I'm gonna tell her.
I'm gonna tell her, I just...

Ah, well, that would sound strange,

Mm.

I passed my elevator

Okay! Go.

- Uh, I'm not sure.
Oh, Max, why didn't you just tell me?
Oh. Um, I don't know.
I was just looking
for the right time, and, uh...
It's our ICU, Max. If it's understaffed,
I need to know before something
like this happens.
Right. You're talking about our ICU.
Totally makes sense. I completely agree.
We are understaffed.
We should have five attendings
per shift.
We're barely getting by with two.
And now those two,
Dr. Perez and Dr. Agata,
- are down with food poisoning.
- Oh.
And there's no backup, no one to cover.
So you're saying
no one's running our ICU?
This is why I keep telling you
we need more doctors, Karen.
COVID burnout is real.
You'd think they have more sense of duty
to this hospital than to just leave.
Well, it's not just about
sense of duty to the hospital.
I mean, these people face
all kinds of stress
for this hospital; They've had
to question every priority,
every value they've ever had.
Not to mention, some of 'em
fell in love, you know.
Finally put love first for once
instead of denying it for so...
well, maybe, I don't know.
Uh, we need doctors.
That's what I'm saying.
Triage nurse to the ER...
We have patients,
two transfers on the way,
at least nine procedures
piling up on the to-do list...
- Oh, right, and no doctors.
- Then shut it down.
Send these patients to other hospitals.
No. They're too sick.
Some of them won't
even survive transport.
Can't we farm them out
to other areas of the hospital?
No, they need the specialized
care they can only get here.
If this ICU fails,
the whole hospital goes down.
We gotta make this work.
How? Who's gonna take over?
I will.
- Somebody help us over here.
- What happened?
We were out fishing
to celebrate his retirement.
Bluefish, stripers, some tuna.
Terry, they don't give

- Nice new hooks and everything...
- Terry, for the love of God.
And when we got to the dock,
all of a sudden
Joe just stops talking.
- Okay.
- Which is alarming,
because Joe never shuts up, like, never.
It's like the man gets paid by the word.
- No offense, buddy.
- He's gonna be okay, right?
Hey, Joe, do me a favor.
Can you lift your right arm?
Is it numb? Is it tingly?
Yeah, it looks like
he's having a stroke.
Let's get him a CT scan.

Do you sell what you steal?
- No.
- So why steal at all?
I don't know.
The things I take,
I don't even want 'em.
It's crazy, but in my head,
it's not stealing.
But Kevin, where's the empathy?
You are stealing.
Imagine if it were someone you loved.
What if you stole from your dad?
All right, I'm gonna
pause you right there.
Uh, Miguel, amazing.
Great job bringing Klepto Kevin
to life, man, killin' it.
Oh, gosh, it's such a great role.
You were born to play it, clearly.
Chitto, I'm sorry
I cut you off back there,
but there was a big-time tactical error
that we need to talk about.
- But he was opening up.
- No, yeah, I realize that.
But try not to focus
on what he was saying,
more on how he was saying it...
His voice, his demeanor, his tears.
Does all that suggest a lack of empathy?
Crap. No.
Yeah. Also, in last week's reading,
we hit on the common parental
archetypes of kleptomaniacs,
and the big one was...
- Withholding parents.
- Exactly, withholding parents.
So When you're withholding empathy
and shaming him for his dad,
in Kevin's mind,
guess who you are?
His dad. Okay?
Good luck building that trust back.
This is...
This is transference , yeah?
Okay.
Oh. All right, guys, come on.
Let's lose the long faces.
Getting adjustments is good,
as long as take what you learn here
and you apply it
to your real-life patients.
All right? That goes for everybody.
So why don't we move past these, um...
these rookie mistakes and,
uh, crush one?
