04x17 - A Step Too Far

[bunniefuu]

♪ oh, yeah ♪

"dr. Turner's story is at once mesmerizing

"and instructive and a
significant achievement

For a first-time author."

Oh, I love the "chronicle."
we love the "chronicle."

Mommy and daddy are gonna
subscribe to the "chronicle."

Okay, here's the "post."
"in her first book, violet turner

"lets us into her life
with admirable candidness.

No scar remains unexposed."

Cute. "an honest and powerful read."

I can't believe how good these reviews are.
Are you kidding me?

Oh, yes, she can.
Mommy is not that modest, is she?

Uh-oh.

What? What, vi?

Uh, "what portends to be an honest,
forthright accounting

"of a psychiatrist's
professional and personal life

"ultimately winds up being too honest.

"dr. Turner reveals herself to be more...

"self-involved than therapeutically minded.

She lacks all sense of boundaries."

Who wrote that?

Uh, marla thomkins in the "times."

Well, clearly, she's an idiot.

Well, she's not just a reviewer.
She's also a shrink.

It's one bad review, violet. One. I mean...

Yeah. It's one bad review.

♪ why I work so hard for you ♪

Uh-oh.

♪ work to give you money ♪

♪ ooh ♪

You all right?

Do I look okay?

Well, you look like...

Something you ate last night?

No. I didn't eat anything last night.

I was mad at you.

and unlike naomi,

Who I know has been very
much on your mind these days,

I do not stress eat.

Okay, addison. We're past this.

Now I'm sorry you are...

Whatever you are...

But really, we're going backwards here.

I told you, nothing happened with naomi.

That's the end of it.

Okay? Now can I get you anything?

No.

I'll see you at work.

♪ ah ha ah, do do do, da da da da da ♪

♪ I can't work any harder than I do ♪

♪ ah ha ah, oh, oh, oh ♪

Does that hurt?

No. Not at all.

How is it possible

That I'm cancer free and pain free

After all this time?

Good oncologist,
even better pain specialist,

And a pretty good support group, right?

You guys are amazing.

You're the one who went through
all the painful radiation.

We're just the cheering section.

You have been positive
from the very beginning.

You've never wavered.

And you...

Apart from the minor detail

Of being the surrogate for our baby...

Well, it's an aunt's dream.

I get to spend quality time with
my niece before anybody else,

Including her mommy.

I expect baby pictures.

Oh!

Claudine? Sit back down, slowly.

Ah. Is it the baby?

Ooh. I don't know. Um...

I'm gonna go get our o.B.
To take a look at you, okay? Okay.

I'm gonna go get the
lamaze pillow from the car,

Just in case. Wait, wait.

This could be it.

Anyone hear anything from naomi?

Uh, uh, I-I left her a message, but no.

Maybe she reconsidered and ran
off with fife. I talked to fife.

He's still here in a hotel room, waiting.

Where is the damn antacid?
Sorry. I needed it.

I felt the same before my book party.

That's revisionist history.
If you recall, on his big day,

They made a cake that looked like sam,

And he wouldn't let any of us eat it.
He was staring at it

With this smile on his face that
matched the smile on the cake.

Hey, addison, can you do a consult?

Sure. Thank you.

No, it's just, uh, you know,
my book comes out, uh, tomorrow,

And, uh, people are gonna be reading it.

- That's what people do with books. I
- I know. I know.

Violet, if this is about what
that petty little pseudo shrink

Wrote in the "times"...
Do you think I lack boundaries?

I don't lack boundaries.

Cooper?

I'm not an expert, so...

it doesn't take an expert
to realize that first,

You are great at your job,
and second, if everyone else

Loves your book except one
petty reviewer, screw 'em.

Yeah. Want me to quote you what
people wrote about my book?

"there is a clear pattern of narcissism

"in violet turner's brand of therapy.

"she comfortably inhabits

"the role of emotional seductress,

"taking the vulnerable
to where she wants them

In order to achieve her own end goals."

blah, blah, blah.

Like I said, screw 'em.

Yeah, I mean, the review's
not entirely wrong, and...

Right?

Screw you. No, seriously, cooper.

I'm putting myself out there.

What have you ever done?

So wh-wh-what time is the party tonight?

Oh, god. Um, uh, we were just--

No, please. This is not
the first time we've, uh,

Caught a couple kissing.

Addison, uh... This is claudine...

How do you do? And elliot.

Elliot is married to claudine's sister.

Oh. Oh.

So I get kyle wasserman into an arm bar,

And I'm about to end it-- remember,
wasserman has never been pinned.

then I just got dizzy.
Next thing I remember,

The coaches are standing over me.
Any dizziness before that day?

Never. And how about since?

I was a little light-headed
after practice yesterday.

You're back at practice already?

Oh, not at school. Coach won't let me.

Just at home with my dad. Conference
finals are tomorrow, dr. Freedman.

Place is going to be packed with scouts.

And after the wasserman match,
tyler has to perform.

Yeah, we need a full ride, division I. Okay.

Tyler's been wrestling for
years with no problem.

He's a healthy kid. Okay,
I do hear a slight heart murmur.

So I would be more comfortable
if our cardiac specialist,

Dr. Bennett, took a look at him.

Can we do this today?

It's just-- we have to make
sure ty wrestles this week.

His scholarship-- everything
depends on him being there and--

Okay, we need you to sign this.

Coach patterson won't let
him compete without it.

Well, look, I know how
important this is to you.

If dr. Bennett says his heart is fine,

I will sign it.

This isn't some tawdry thing. It's--

Crazy. I'm-- even if it makes sense to you,

You-- you're cheating on
your wife with her sister--

Her sister who is carrying your child.

W- wait. That baby is--

No, no.

We did in vitro with my
sperm and claudine's egg

Before any of this happened.

Well, elliot, I don't know what I can say.

H- how do you think this is gonna turn out?

I don't expect you to get it.

I mean, before lorraine was sick,

Things weren't great between us.

And we tried to work it out,
but then the cancer came on.

And claudine and I, we took care of her.

Spent a lot of time together, talking and...

Trying to laugh through how scared we were.

And claudine, she-- she understood me.

Those feelings,

They kept getting stronger until one night--

And now you're here. Fine.

But... Lorraine deserves to know.

You get that, right?

Sh-she'll know. She'll know.

After the baby's born...

I'm gonna leave lorraine
to be with claudine.

Hey.

Hey.

What was that about?

What?

In the kitchen. You mad at violet?

No.

Are you jealous of violet?

why would I be jealous?

Well, you tell me. Violet is a great shrink,

And now she's a published author.

Naomi builds hospitals all around the world

In addition to performing
miracles at a fertility clinic.

And pete, he's already saved lives

In basically every country
naomi's going to, not to mention

Being an e.R. Doc and an
expert in critical care

And infectious diseases.

And you're one of the youngest
chiefs of staffs in the country,

And everyone is doing something special--

Everyone except for me.

Grow up, cooper.

You look like crap.

Ugh. Thank you.

Flu? You don't feel warm.

Did you eat anything weird?

No. So what's wrong

Other than, you know,
you lookin' like-- I don't know.

Amelia, I just don't feel well. Okay?

I'm exhausted. I feel nauseous.

I just... I don't know.

Maybe it's just some sort of...
Delayed reaction

To the bizzy stress.

Maybe. Have you gained any weight?

Okay, now you're just being mean.

Are you peeing a lot? Your boobs--
are they tender?

Okay, you are a neurosurgeon.
I am a gynecologist.

All right, if I were,
I would know, and I'm not.

Okay? I can't be.
Do you and sam use protection?

Amelia, I'm telling you,
I can't-- are you late?

Yes.

But I can't be. I mean, I don't think--

You're preggers!

This is awesome.

Auntie amelia.

Even though you divorced my brother,

I'm still gonna be your kid's aunt, right?

amelia, for me to get pregnant,

It would take a miracle.

A miracle that I am going to spoil rotten.

I think I'm gonna take her to
paris for her 13th birthday.

You want to come? You are out
of your mind. I am not pregnant.

If only there was some way to know for sure.

Wait. Wait.

I was out shopping, and I saw these tests--

Knock it off. Just pee on a stick.

I'm busy. You are stalling.

You like the idea.

Admit it. Admit it.

I am not gonna go away
until you admit that-- go!

see that?

That slight thickening of the septal wall

And an elevated flow across
the l.V. Outflow tract.

Looks like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

It's borderline.

Does that put tyler at
risk for an arrhythmia?

Well, he may never have a problem.

There are cases, rare, but they happen,

When the most seemingly healthy kid

Could just die suddenly.

Is there any way to know?

Well, we could start
with an m.R.I., watch him

Over the next few months.
In two days, it won't matter.

I mean, this kid has a
chance to change his life.

He can get a scholarship to college.

I don't think he can afford it otherwise.

But he has to compete in
the conference finals,

And given the circumstances-- well,
I'm not saying he can't wrestle.

You said he could drop dead if he does.
Is there a chance? Yes. But is it greater

Than the chance he could get
into an automobile accident

On the way to the meet?
Given that his only symptoms

Are a little dizziness, probably not.
So you'd let him wrestle?

I mean, if his whole future depends on it,

It's-- it's a calculated risk. Well, I mean,

You never take risks with
kids' lives, sam, ever.

Well, that's not the way it works.

You don't think I wanted
to lock maya in the house

And not let her ride a
bike or drive a car or ski?

No, you can't do that.

You can't eliminate all risk in life.

And given what you're telling
me this kid has at stake...

I don't understand.

Lorraine and elliot have been
married for what, eight years?

You understand it. You just don't like it.

Yeah. It's just-- life isn't a
cheap romance novel, you know?

It's supposed to be about making
a commitment and honoring it.

Sometimes. And other times,
for other people,

It's about passion.

You think passion is enough?

You don't?

To make an adult relationship work,
you need more.

Come on. You're talking
about claudine and elliot

Like they're some insubstantial fling.

I mean, they're both grown-ups
who are taking a risk--

A huge risk--

Because they found each
other and fell in love.

Just because a risk is big
doesn't make it worthwhile.

I feel for lorraine. Of course I do.

But on some level, I mean,
don't you think it's brave,

What elliot and claudine want to do?

Mm. Mnh-mnh. Stop looking
at me like that, pete.

This is not about sam and me.

Of course it is.

Sam and I told naomi that
we were in a relationship.

Okay. who's gonna tell lorraine?

Okay, claudine.

You're in the very early stages of labor.

You're just 3 centimeters dilated.

So you're gonna be here a while.

I will call your regular ob-gyn.
No, my o.B.'s gone all week.

And I don't know the woman
who's on call for her.

Can't you do it?

Okay, but-- and maybe
you could call lorraine.

She's so excited. No.

I think that you should call lorraine.

If you mean we should tell her, I can't.

We can't. Not-- not yet.

Don't you think that she
has a right to know?

You know I love lorraine, right?

And I'd do anything for her.

I mean, I am. I'm doing this.

Ever since we were little,
lorraine wanted to be a mom.

She just... She knew.

I never did.

Maybe it was too many
princess movies growing up,

But me?

I only wanted to fall in love.

which is probably why it
never happened for me.

And then there was elliot.

At first, he was just my
big sister's boyfriend,

Who... I mostly resented for
taking her away from me.

But once my sister got sick

And we really got to know each other,

Something happened,

Something... Amazing.

And the more we tried to hold back,

The harder it got,

Until...

I love lorraine, dr. Montgomery.

I do, and I always will,

But now, especially since
I'm carrying elliot's baby--

Okay, stop, claudine. All right?

Just think about that, all right?

You're pregnant. Your hormones
are all over the place.

They can overwhelm you, and-- no,
that's not what it is.

I mean, I wish it was. Believe me.

But... Real love

Can't be confused with anything else.

Then tell your sister that.

I understand that you can't choose

Who you fall in love with.

But you can choose to be honest.

I reviewed your scan
with a heart specialist,

And as much as I would like
for you to compete and to win,

I can't let you take that risk.
but I-I feel fine.

I can wrestle. I have to wrestle.

It's just, tyler has worked so hard,
and this is his dream.

We're talking about

A potentially fatal problem here.
What are the odds

That something bad happens to tyler--
10 to 1, 100 to 1, what?

I can't give you odds.
Then why should we listen to you?

Look, I know my own body.

I haven't been feeling dizzy.
I'm-- I'm feeling great.

I can make weight. You're way out
of line here. We're his parents,

And we say what he can or can't do, not you.
Except that you need my signature

On tyler's medical release form.
We'll get another doctor.

Randy. I'm saying tyler could die.

What about that don't you understand?

I'm sorry, but finals aren't
gonna happen for you, tyler.

Let's go. Now, tyler.

dr. Freedman.

Hey, tyler.

Come in.

Is everything okay?

Nothing is okay.

Uh...

My mom got laid off last year.

My dad is working double
shifts just to pay the rent.

I have a part-time job on the weekends--

Yeah, I understand. I do.

No, you don't.

Look, I'm the only one in my family

With the opportunity to go to college.

Without a scholarship, I'm just gonna end up

Doing the same thing my parents are.
You don't know that.

Just like you don't know
something bad will happen to me

If I wrestle tomorrow.
I can't let you take that risk.

But that's my decision.

Sometimes, when you are
so close to a situation...

You can't see it-- you can't see it clearly.

And I'm telling you-- stop.
Just stop telling me things

A- and just help me.

I think I am, even if it doesn't
seem like it to you. You're not.

But I-I-th-- I think I am, okay? You're not.

I made a cardiac m.R.I.
Appointment for you tomorrow,

And I left word for your folks,

I expect to see you there. It's the first
step. You're scared to take a risk.

I'm not.

But you are.

But you need to believe it.

You need to be willing to
