(Addison) I think I'm done

(Sighs)

(Clatters)

Okay.

To be continued.

(People speaking indistinctly)

(People speaking indistinctly)

Hi.

(Door closes)
Hi.

I don't want to bother you.

Oh, you're not
bothering...

Are you okay?

I'm having a baby
with no brain.

I'm fine. I'm great.

I'm... horrible.

I'm devastated...
But okay.

We talked about this.

It's traumatic.

And so it's perfectly natural,

in the weeks
prior to your due date,

to... develop feelings
of--of fear and despair...

No.
And--

i'm--I'm having
the baby right now.

I'm in labor, Jake.

I don't need
to be here yet.

I'm barely dilated.

I could wait it out
at home--

actually, you, uh,
you do need to be here.

You paged them?

Yep.

And what did they say?

I'm going to go talk to them
as soon as I leave you.

Okay.

No dr*gs.

No epidural, no pain meds,
no sedatives.

I mean it.
Okay.

I want you to move me
off the o.B. Floor

the minute
I'm done delivering.

I-I don't want to be
on this floor.

Okay.

And wrap his head
right away.

I don't want to see it.

Okay.

Just take him away...
Before I can see him.

I-I don't want
to hear him cry.

Just--before he cries.

Amelia...

Right.

A baby without a frontal lobe
can't cry.

I saw one once

when I was an intern.

They make this kind of
squeaking noise.

Brainless babies squeak.

I mean, it's the only way
you can describe

the noise they make,
but...

I mean, you'd think that
it would be awful,

but actually,
it's kinda...

Life will out, you know?

I know.

Anyway...

Take him away
before he squeaks.

(Sheldon)
So Pete's just gonna admit

that he took his patient
off the ventilator?

Yep, he's convinced
he did the right thing.

It's gonna make it hard
for his lawyer.

What's going on? Is something
wrong with Pete?

No.
Amelia's in labor.

Oh, god.

Okay, i-I'm gonna go see--

Jake says we should
all stay here.

Well, he might need a consult.
Amelia made it clear that she
doesn't want you in there, so--

really, Sam?
Hey, hey.

Is she in labor?
Yeah.

Where's Coop?

(Sighs) He's with Violet.

Woman nearly broke down our door
at the cr*ck of dawn,

wanting to scream
about Pete.
How is she?

How do you think
she is?

Terrified,
blaming everyone but Pete.

Jake...

Just give me a minute.
(Clears throat)

Okay, first I want to say,
that as Amelia's doctor,

no one goes near her

unless you're sure
you can be supportive.

Why wouldn't
we be supportive?

Jake, what are you
talking about?

Amelia wants to donate
her baby's organs.

How long have you
known about this?

Since she chose me
as her o.B.
That's m*rder.

Sam, please, do not get
religious on me here.

This has nothing to do
with religion.

The American academy
of pediatrics states...

I know what it states.

That a declaration of
brain death has to be made

before procuring the organs.

And since there's no brain
in a child that's anencephalic--

and still medical ethicists
are split

on whether it's acceptable
to retrieve organs from them.

Why not just wait
till the baby dies?

(Addison) Because by then,
it'll be too late.

The organs will deteriorate,

and they will no longer
be viable for transplant.

I need to go consult
our lawyer.

Charlotte,
Charlotte...

We're talking about
Amelia here.

I know it's Amelia,

which is why I'm not revoking
your privileges

and throwing you out of here.

This is a person I love.

I need to consult the lawyers
that represent this hospital

to see what they think,

because I think
this is k*lling a baby.

(Buzzer sounds)

(Indistinct conversations)

(Woman) Calling the case
of Peter Wilder.

Counselors.

(Man) The state contends
that Dr. Wilder showed

reckless disregard both for
the life of his patient

and for the laws of this state
when he intentionally--

he pulled a Kevorkian?

My client followed
the instructions--
a Kevorkian? Are you serious?

Pete.
Dr. Wilder.

My patient did not want to be
kept alive by life support.
Stop talking.

Your client k*lled a guy.
He doesn't look too sorry.

Your honor, if you--
I'm not sorry.

Oh, Pete.
I am not sorry.

Good. You made this easy.
Bail is denied.

(Gallery murmuring indistinctly)

(Knock on door)

(People speaking indistinctly)

You have something to say

or are you
just gonna watch me?

'Cause this gown is backless,

so when I turn around
to go that way,

you're gonna get a really great
view of my maternity panties.

That was quite a bombshell
Jake dropped on us today

about you donating
the baby's organs.

I'm like that...

All bombshell-y.

I was wondering how you
came to your decision.

To my decision?

My decision to donate
the organs

of my brainless baby?

(Gasps)

Amelia.

(Exhales)

(Panting) I'm... having...

A contraction.

Is there...

Can I do anything?

It hurts.

(Groans)

Don't touch me.

(Pants and sniffles)

(Panting)

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Contractions come and go.

That's what happens
when you're having a baby,

even a unicorn baby.

A unicorn baby?

Well, that's an interesting
choice of words.

Sheldon, I'm doing
a thing here.

What do you want?

Sometimes people think they can
circumvent the grieving process

by focusing on
an external goal.

And... while concentrating

on the benefits
of organ donation

is a perfectly valid
short-term coping mechanism,

it can't replace the work
you need to do

to deal with your own
profound loss.

The work I need to do?

The...

Are you freakin' kidding me?

Look at me.

This is supposed to be
the happiest day of my life.

I'm having a baby.
I'm in labor.

Yay. I am dealing
with my loss, Sheldon.

I am swimming in it.

I just wanted to make sure
you thought this through.

I... I just want
to help you--

no, you just don't want
to feel guilty.

Get out. Please.

How do you even declare
brain death

in an anencephalic child?

Lack of reflexes,
pupillary responses.

No. Those criteria
don't apply here.

They indicate an absence
of brain stem activity.

Amelia's baby has
a rudimentary brain stem.

It'll never
gain consciousness.

(Jake) Exactly.

There is zero chance
it will ever have

any kind of meaningful life.

Will you stop saying "it"?
(Sighs)

Because the baby
will be alive.

It's not a life I'd want,
but it's not a life I'd k*ll.

Stop saying "it."
Say "he."

Say "him."

You have to k*ll him
to recover the organs.

Look, Sam, I need your help

to harvest the heart
and the lungs.

Amelia needs your help.

(Door closes)

I want to help,
and I-I don't know how.

Should I call Derek?

No, she expressly asked me
not to call her family.

She wants to do this
on her own.

Well, I have to do something.
I can't just--

I-I have to do something.
You want to help?

Sam is the best cardio guy
at St. ambrose.

Get him to harvest
the heart and lungs.

(Indistinct conversations)

(Sighs) Do you need anything?

No.

I made my cell mate my bitch,
so I'm good. (Chuckles)

(Indistinct conversations
continue)

Little prison humor.
Sorry.

Roberta's gonna appeal
the judge's decision.

She says you should get bail.

She said that the judge
was prejudiced.

That judge was an ass.

Hey, Pete, I'm freaking out
here, okay?

I'm freaking out. I--
okay, okay.

Hey.

I love you.

(Buzzer sounds)

(Indistinct conversations
continue)

How's Lucas?

He's good.
He misses you.

I told him that you were
out of town for a while.

We shouldn't lie.

We shouldn't lie?

What should I tell him,
Pete?

Really, what?

Daddy's in jail because that's
where they put...

(Whispers)
Accused murderers?

I did the right thing.

(Normal voice) You did the right
thing by your patient.

You did not do the right thing
by our family.

You did not do the right thing
by our son.

You need to cooperate.

I will not say
that I'm sorry.

Pete, I get
that you're not sorry.

I don't need you to be sorry.
I need you to not be in prison.

So please say whatever
you have to say.

Cooperate.

(Addison)
Bail was denied entirely?

Yeah, entirely.
But they're appealing that,
right? They can appeal that.

They are.
Because it seems
a little extreme.

Well, he did k*ll someone.

S-Someone who wasn't
going to recover,

someone who's partner
had asked him to--

Pete knew the law.
He broke the law.

And he put himself

and the hospital at risk
when he did it.

This is not helpful.
Can we not--

can we just not...
Debate it for once?

This is a mistake.

Amelia's in a very bad place.

Did you just see her?

I couldn't stay away
even though it's just possible

that she hates me
enough to k*ll me.
Yeah, if I don't do it first.

I told you not to go see her
if you couldn't be supportive.

I was supporting her.
(Charlotte) The argument
is pointless.

The hospital still hasn't signed
off on the organ procurement.

And they shouldn't.

(Cooper) Do you know
how many babies die ever year

waiting for organ transplants?
(Jake) Charlotte,

you have to fight here.

Who thinks this is
a good idea?

Who's against?

We know how Sam feels.

We're split
right down the middle.

Aren't we a microcosm
of the medical community?

I hate my job.

Sam, this organ procurement
has to be flawless.

Every surgery
has to be flawless.

I know. It's just...

It's her baby's heart.

It's a baby's heart,
and when we get one...

Look, if it were me,

there's no one I'd rather have
holding the scalpel than you.

Well, it's a good thing
it isn't you, then, isn't it?
Oh, Sam.

Look, Amelia's situation
is tragic.

But just because her baby's
going to die

doesn't mean that it's okay
for me to...

Rush the process.

Sam, I know I'm asking you
to do the hard thing here,

but when people we love
need us,

sometimes
we have to compromise.

Today's lecture's
on compromise?

Because I remember
the last one,

you said, uh,
if I wasn't all in,

then I had to just walk away.

So which one is it, Addison?

I know you saw
me and Jake,

and I probably owe you
an explanation--

no, no, you don't
have to explain

why you gave an ultimatum,

and when I couldn't answer
for five seconds,

you immediately moved on
to someone else.

That definitely, definitely
doesn't demand an explanation.

Your inability to answer,
Sam,

that was my answer.

Look,
I don't want to talk--

I will recommend

several excellent
cardiac surgeons to Jake.

But beyond that,
I can't be a part of this.

I can't.

you want to help her,

get Sam to harvest
the heart and the lungs.

Sam said no.

I tried.

But he said no.

Oh.

What?

There are nine cardiothoracic
surgeons in the area

certified to do this kind
of pediatric procedure.

I've been rejected
by eight of them.

Sam makes nine.

I've been calling surgeons
all day long.

Nobody wants to do this
because they're cowards

or they're...
I don't want to do this.

But I said that I would.

I told her I would do this
for her.

Damn it. She's in there

doing the hardest thing
I've ever seen, and I...

I promised her.

(Elevator bell dings)

She doesn't want to see me.

Huh.

What?

The Addison I know
is a pushy bitch

who would've given
that fancy-pants, snooty,

"double board certified
neonatal surgeon" speech

as an excuse

and shoved her way into
that room no matter what.

I just--i just...

Every time I try--

I mean, I've dealt with cases
so much worse than this, but...

Every time I try
to go in there, I just--

I just...

Can't get myself to do it.

I can't do it either.

Been avoiding it.

I was trying to figure out why,
and then...

(Sighs) This morning,

I was looking at Mason,
and I realized--

you're a mother.

We can't go in there
because we're mothers.

Mason's changed me.

Henry's changed you.

We're softer. (Chuckles)

(Chuckles)

I just realized, this past year,
that you and I

both became mothers

without ever giving birth.

And she's gonna give birth...

Not get to be a mother.

Did Violet send you to tell me
to cooperate?

No.
To tell me
to keep my mouth shut...

No.
Or better yet,
to tell me to apologize?

My son's mother d*ed.

(Indistinct conversations)

I know. I-I was there.

She doesn't get to go to
any special lunches at school,

or see the science projects
he brings home,

or see him in the school play,
or drop him off at boy scouts.

And what do you think
she'd do

just for a chance
to be there,

to see all that?

You think maybe
she'd swallow her pride?

Do you think
she'd keep her mouth shut?

Do you think

So I just want you
to understand why...

Why I can't be a part
of your transplant team.

I understand.

Okay, because, um--

you're gonna say
it's because, technically,

a child
with a working brain stem

can't be declared brain dead

even though he'll never
walk or talk

or move or eat,

even though he's missing
the parts of his brain

that he needs to have a life.

Not just be alive,
but have a life...

To love,

to think,

to know words
and feelings,

to be conscious.

You're gonna talk to me about
medicine and technicalities

and the failings of science.

Yeah.

But the thing is, that's not
why you won't do the harvest.

Well, until we know,
uh, with...

Medical certainty,

you know, until the law--

it's because
it's unimaginable.

What I'm asking you to do
is unimaginable.

It's horrible.
It's excruciating.

I'm asking you to help
dismantle my baby for parts.

And there's no piece
of anyone's soul

that can hold that
and feel okay.

But I'm asking.

I'm asking you.

I'm his mother.

And I'm asking you
to do this.

And you want to know why?

It's because I did
a little research, Sam.

(Sighs) Science.

In Chicago, there's this
baby girl, 6 weeks old,

with pulmonary hypertension
who needs new lungs.

Outside Detroit there is
a 10-day-old boy

who was born blind, but could
see if he had new corneas.

I read this blog about

this 14-month-old kid
named Gideon in San Diego

who's been on
a heart-lung machine for months

because he needs
one tiny valve in his heart.

There's b*rned babies
who need skin.

There's infants
who need livers,

and toddlers
who need kidneys,

and there's even this one
4-month-old girl named Lulu

who needs
a multiple-organ transplant.

My baby...

Could save
all of those babies.

He could be responsible
for kids leaving the hospital

and going home
and growing up

and falling in love
and having sex

and arguing
with their boyfriends

and making mistakes
and living

and maybe not ruining
their lives with dr*gs.

What I'm asking you to do

is unimaginable.

But it's also everything

those other mothers
could ever imagine.

I'm his mom.

And I'm asking you
to do this.

If I can get there,
why can't you?

(Footsteps approach)

I mean,
does it occur to you

that somebody else
might want some of those?

No. I mean, the hand to
the mouth to the box, it's...

Any news--
babies, bail?

You think we'd be standing here
if there was any news?

Amelia's still in labor,
Pete's still in jail.

Oh, cookies
for breakfast?

It was his idea.

Hey.

Hey.

No.

No, that's me.
Violet?

Charlotte. Amelia's
6 centimeters dilated.

Baby's on the way.

Are you coming?

The hospital lawyers haven't
signed off on this yet.

I can still do
the delivery.

(Sighs) I'm just saying,
you can't harvest any organs

until we get
explicit permission.

Fine.

So you're not
gonna do anything--

Charlotte, I heard you.

Jake, I want to go in
with you.

No.
Jake--

until she asks for you,
the answer is no.

Sorry, Addison.

Oh, well, we should

Yeah.

You know,
women who use cocaine

are at greater risk
than the rest of the population

for all sorts
of complications.

You know,
there's placental abruption,

and--and--and...

Why do you know that?

I did a lot of research

after Amelia told me
she was pregnant.
Oh.

It was my way
of being supportive.

Not that she wants
my support anymore.

Mm.

It was oxy.

What?

Amelia's drug of choice...

She was doing oxy,
not cocaine.

So?

So maybe everything
will turn out all right.

Well, sure, because oxy's
like a prenatal vitamin.

Prenatal-- (laughing)

Yeah.

You--you knew what she meant

when she called it
a-a unicorn baby?

When she was 12 years old,
she was...

She was obsessed with unicorns
because they were magical

and they could do
great things, you know?

This baby, its, uh...

(Door opens)

(Babies crying)

Did your dad tell you
what was going on?

He said a baby
was being born mostly dead.

So they're donating his organs
so other babies can live.

That's right.

That baby over there,
she was born so premature,

her lungs never had a chance
to form properly.

And because of science,
because of medicine,

she got some new lungs,

and now she's gonna live
a whole life.

She shoulda been dead.

If she was born ten years ago,
she would've been dead.

(People speaking indistinctly)

And now she's alive.

(Sighs) Miracle.

You think if my mom got sick
ten years from now,

she'd still be alive?

I don't know.

But I think that idea's
what might make you

an incredible doctor
one day.

(Chuckles) You think
I could be a doctor?

I know you could.

(Chuckles)

(Crying continues)

I'm not good with nature

the way your mama was.

But you're a good doctor.

I am.

Is this weird that I took you
to see the sick babies?

No, it's not weird.

I don't know
what to call you.

I already have a mom.

And I don't want to take
your mama's place, Mason.

But I am happy
to stand in for her

any time you want to let me.

How about mama?

What's that?
