07x17 - If You Love Someone, Set Them Free

My memory of her was
my, uh, my greatest weakness.

Well, today it seemed like
a source of real strength.

It's good to see you too.

When I get outta rehab,
I... I'm gonna go somewhere.

Med is the best place for you,
given your history?

You mean my addiction.

Welcome back, Dr. Asher.

Milena, I used to be a cop.

I guess I'll never be able to shake it.

Stefan's brokering a meet tonight.

my case takes a big hit.

If Stefan spikes a fever, anything off,

- you bring him back.

Yeah, because I discharged him.

This wasn't your fault.

A little pressure.

[TENSE MUSIC]

All right, any underlying
medical conditions?

Just the scarring in my original uterus.

They called it Asherman's Syndrome.

Acquired.

I can have kids.

Do you know anything about your donor?

Just it was someone who d*ed.

- Dr. Marcel?
- Yeah?

I'm seeing a severe thickening
of the endometrial stripe.

Well, what does that mean?

The lining of Claire's uterus
is too thick,

causing her to bleed uncontrollably.

Can you fix it?

I can't lose this uterus.

Let's give the medicine
some time to work.

And if it doesn't,
can you do another transplant?

First let's send Claire for a
hysteroscopy to get a closer look.

And then we'll have a better
idea of what we need to do.

Okay.

- We'll be right back, okay?
- Yes.

Hang tight.

Dr. Blake.

- Cadaver uterus.
- Mm.

Makes sense she's having trouble.

A uterus from a cadaver
can be unpredictable.

It's much better to get one
from a living donor.

How bad's the bleeding?

Yeah, pretty heavy.

What do you think?

If she does need a hysterectomy,

could you do another transplant?

Yeah, it's certainly
something to consider.

I don't like it.

Prolonged bleeding makes her
a poor surgical candidate.

And I'm not gonna give her
another cadaveric organ.

But she's young and otherwise healthy.

Maybe it'd be worth working her up

just to keep our options open.

Uterus transplant is elective surgery.

A psychiatrist?

I understand that you're going through

a very difficult time.

And I just wanted to introduce myself

and let you know that we're here to help

if you need us.

Your daughter is sick,

and undergoing chemo seems like
the right option.

I know Ivy doesn't want that.

But she's only .

So I need to know
how you'd like to proceed.

We support Ivy's decision.

And the side effects
from the chemotherapy

and the radiation were...

horrific.

And her doctor says
she only has a year to live.

With treatment maybe she has one more.

- And to spend it like that...
- But that's the thing.

New treatments
are constantly being approved.

And any extra time we could
give her, I mean,

could make a big difference.

The odds of that happening are so slim.

And she's suffered so much.

We've decided
to stand by what Ivy wants.

No procedures.

No tests.

Only medicine for discomfort and pain.

both in agreement about this.

Yeah, Ben. I'll go make it.

what kind of tea is Ivy drinking?

It's called Hoxsey tea.

It's an herbal mix Ben found

Um, just on the other side

Help yourself.

Okay, thank you.

You've heard of this Hoxsey tea, right?

- Yeah.
- It's a bogus folk remedy

like apricot pits and antacid diets.

Yeah, I think the FDA
debunked it a couple years ago.

They're giving this snake oil
to their daughter

instead of actual medicine.

I don't know.

This could be medical neglect.

We might need to get
a court order to treat.

I think it's probably a little early

to force a needle into somebody's arm.

Um, lemme look at your hands, please.

Yeah, see, um,

the redness, peeling on your fingertips.

chemical burns to me.

I'm just curious, is there any chance

Ben.

Tell me.

No time. We gotta drain him here.

What happened?

We were able to perform a transplant.

Really?

How?

Your sister gave you her uterus.
