- Just an email Ian forwarded me.

How is everything with him?

CADE: Passed his drug test.
Operating up a storm...

Fine, I guess.

Seems crazy.

Okay, let's, uh, just give her a minute.

(SIGHS) Sure, yeah. Let's,
uh, let's all take five.

Daddy, when's Sammie gonna be here?

She and Jake are on their way.

And they're bringing
your flower girl dresses

for the ceremony tonight,
isn't that exciting?

Yeah!

So, when is he available?

Well, I certainly hope so. Thank you.

Everything all right?

Our new governor's been
avoiding my calls all week

and now his office
won't even set a meeting.

He's probably too busy
making plans to slash funding

for public hospitals like Chastain.

And it'll be hard to change
his mind if he keeps dodging me.

I know you're worried,
but we'll figure it out.

Just not today.

I know we will.

spoil this evening.

Tracy, good morning.

Ms. Laybourne is a tech

who could keep us afloat
if our funding gets cut.

TRACY: Randolph, I'm glad you picked up.

I thought you might be in surgery.

Actually, uh, I took the day off.

Is everything okay?

It's my daughter.

She's not feeling well.

Okay, uh, tell me what's going on.

Well, we were on our way to the aquarium

and Max started feeling
sluggish and sweaty.

Incredibly tired.

I think she needs to see a
doctor, and you're the only one

- I know in Atlanta.
- Okay, sounds as though she needs an internist.

I can send our best to
meet you at Chastain ER

and I'll be there as soon as I can.

Thanks.

Conrad, can you take a
look at Tracy's daughter?

- I-I could, but I...
- Go. I'll watch Gigi.

- I mean, I took the day off.
- Uh, the girls do need

new flower girl dresses
and I need a new suit.

Great. So we'll divide and conquer.

You go get your suit and I'll
take our little ladies shopping.

Meet back here.

You don't have to do this.

I can get a sitter.

Are you kidding me? It'll be fun.

Shouldn't we finish the rehearsal?

Oh, thank you, Lindsay, but
Randolph and I already have

a few weddings between
us, so I think we're good.

I'll get him back in one piece.

You, not so fast.

That was my last kiss as a single woman.

Hmm. I don't think so. Is that serious?

No, there's no reason to be alarmed.

Could mean a lot of things.

Did Dr. Voss change her mind already?

Well, thankfully, Kit has
not come to her senses yet,

so I expect to see all of you

- at our ceremony this evening.
- Oh, I would not miss it.

How's Tracy's daughter?

Her liver enzymes just came back

and they're off the charts.

How high are we talking?

So high the lab ran them three times.

Her INR is . .

She's going into liver failure.

And fast. We need to move faster.

All right, I'll talk with Tracy

while you get Max a bed in the ICU.

And I'll bring Ian up to speed.

If we can't figure out the
cause and reverse it fast enough,

- there's only one thing that will keep Max alive.
- Transplant.

Wait...

- my daughter may need a liver transplant?
- I'm...

I'm sorry. I wish we had better news.

Come on, honey. Let's go.

- Take that thing out. We're getting out of here.
- We need to get her to the ICU

right away to monitor her
labs and mental status.

That's the only way to know
how fast her liver is worsening.

You know what, no offense, but
I brought Max here for a checkup,

not a transplant.

We both know that this
hospital is in financial trouble

and that's why you reached out to me.

_

- I'll explain in the car.
- Tracy,

I would strongly advise
against moving her.

This has nothing to do
with you helping Chastain.

Max is critically ill.

Her condition could change at any moment

and moving her in this state
is a risk I would not recommend.

TRACY: Okay, right.

Listen.

My daughter was born with her hearing.

But at six months old
she got an infection

and the hospital I took her
to was wildly underfunded.

They sent her home with an antibiotic

and completely missed the
fact that she had meningitis.

That's how Max lost her hearing.

Yes.

I donate to hospitals like Chastain

because they need the help.

But I won't let my
daughter get harmed again.

(PHONE CHIMES)

And I just had my
assistant get the number

of the best pediatric
surgeon in the country.

- _
- All right. Let's go, honey.

And we've no idea what caused this?

Not acetaminophen, I checked.

You started her on NAC, to be safe?

And a battery of tests.

My daughter deserves the
best and that's exactly

- who she'll be seeing.
- What's the deal?

- (PHONE RINGS)
- BELL: We've got a problem.

Hello, this is Dr. Sullivan.

Hello?

You're here.

I am.

But I can't talk right now.

I'm about to meet my next patient.

Hi.

So what happens now?

Well, first,

you have to trust me.

I do.

And I'm sorry.

- I just...
- There's no apology necessary.

Dr. Sullivan will keep Max stable

while Dr. Hawkins does his
damnedest to try and figure out

why her liver is failing.

We find the cause,

then maybe we can treat Max

and avoid a transplant altogether.

Give me the real.

You're not here because
the outlook is positive.

Things don't go our way,
we can list Max with UNOS,

get a liver from a deceased donor.

But that will take time.

There is another option.

Transplant the lobe of a living donor.

Someone related to Max who can

give a part of their liver to her.

So, you could make a list of relatives,

just in case, people we can call.

There-there's no one else.

No father in the picture
and I have no siblings.

It has always just been me and Max.

So if she needs a liver,

I will give her part of mine.

Okay. I can take you to the lab

and get some blood drawn
to see if you're a match

- and walk you through next steps on the way.
- Okay.

Portal vessels are patent.

Good flow. No sign of clot.

Which would be a good
thing, but, right now...

We still don't have the cause.

- Viral studies back yet?
- Well,

hep B and C are both negative.

Loss of appetite could indicate
worsening liver failure.

Or it could mean...

You don't like Jell-O?

I always get the "E" wrong.

You know how to sign?

A little.

TRACY: Hey, sweetie.

How are you feeling?

_

Mm.

So, we can't go home yet.

Right?

The doctors,

they're gonna try to help me

to help you.

_

By... letting me

give a part of me to you.

You remember when you had

that Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head?

(CHUCKLES)

And she could give her ears

or her nose to him?

It's kind of like that.

_

Of course. I will be fine, sweetie.

Your mom's liver will grow back.

That's pretty cool, huh?

That was pretty impressive in there.

When did you learn ASL?

I took a class in college.

I don't remember that much,

but I do remember my
favorite was "microwave."

Oh.

Wait. Hold-hold on.

Do these nails match the dress
I saw in the back of your car?

I got them done for tonight.

I thought you said you
weren't a wedding kind of girl.

I... I believe your words were...

- (SCOFFS)
- "weddings are a special kind of t*rture."

Yes. But I am looking
forward to this one.

(CHUCKLES)

Bell and Kit invited me.

Not just as your plus-one.

Think I'm finally part of the group.

Means a lot to me.

Me too.

(PHONE RINGS)

Don't tell me you've been tweeting
at the governor all morning.

You know me too well.

Full disclosure, I also
follow you on social media

and I saw for myself. (CHUCKLES)

This-this is how you relax?

Says the man treating
patients on his wedding day.

How's the girl?

She may need a liver transplant,

but we just found out
her mom is a match.

That's great news. Keep me posted.

Of course.

After this echo, you
should be cleared to donate.

Mm. (CHUCKLES)

AUSTIN: Nice ink game, by the way.

(LAUGHS)

Yeah, back in my s, I was
big into the music scene.

- And then Max was born.
- Mm.

Now I'm a little... quieter.

She's an amazing kid.

I started my company 'cause I
wanted to give her everything,

and... now I can.

Yeah, well, family is
a powerful motivator.

Mm. Mm.

What is it?

AUSTIN: The echo is showing signs

of critical aortic stenosis.

It's a severe narrowing in
the valve that brings blood

from your heart to your body.

Uh, I have been more
short of breath lately.

Tiring more easily.

Well, an aortic valve
replacement should fix that.

But it is major.

Your heart is going to need
some time to recover before you

can safely donate part of your liver.

All right, well, how much time?

Weeks.

Maybe months.

But Dr. Bell said that
Max may need a liver soon.

And I'm saying that if we
attempt a transplant now,

- you could die on the table.
- No, but...

I have to save my daughter.

I can't live without her.

She's my whole world.

So, we will find another way.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

What did you find out?

CONRAD: Nothing.

We have no idea why this
kid's liver's failing.

No Kayser-Fleischer rings in her eyes.

No evidence of Wilson's.

Autoimmune serologies
are... they're pending.

But it's unlikely, and hepatitis
labs came back negative.

Well, we have to hurry,
'cause I just talked to AJ

and Tracy can't donate.

Max's coags are climbing.

She could start bleeding
internally at any moment.

Well, just double down.

Try harder. If you can't figure
out why Max's liver's failing

and we have no donor...

... this child could die.

But I did get a call
from a local news station.

They want to interview

And I'm actually considering
it, on my wedding day.

You're really worried about this.

If we lose the millions
the governor plans to cut,

Chastain will become
a third-rate hospital,

and I can't stand that.

I wish I could help.

Gregg and I owe so much to Chastain.

If it wasn't for you and Bell

we wouldn't have Sammie.

I wouldn't have a family.

Oh!

Mm...

So what's the plan?

Well, for now, we try
and keep her stable

while we hope UNOS moves
her up the donor list.

But that's a long sh*t, isn't it?

Tell me the truth.

There's a chance a liver
may not come in time.

No. But I am here.

I don't care about the risks.

Let me donate.

- Your heart can't tolerate...
- What my heart

can't tolerate is losing my daughter.

I'll write a check. (SHUDDERS)

How much?

- Just tell me.
- Tracy...

You don't get to tell me that I...

(GASPING) can't risk my life for her.

(PANTING) I am her mother.

(PANTING, GROANING)

She's in A fib.

I'll page Dr. Austin.

(PANTING)

What did you tell her?

I told I'm gonna help her.

Don't make a liar out of me.

All right. Her A fib has slowed,

but the rapid rate has
landed her in pulmonary edema.

Tracy's in even worse
shape than we thought.

How much time you think we
have before Max's liver fails?

Based on what I've seen so far,

she has days, at best.

Look, I wasn't enthusiastic
about racing Tracy

through a TAVR even when
she was in better shape.

But now you want me to
take her to the cath lab

while she's in heart failure?

Dr. Austin, the sooner
you repair the valve,

the sooner she can recover
and be ready for a transplant.

Organ donation from living donors

is supposed to be low-risk.

That's how we justify it.

I can't risk the mom's life.

- Randolph, you hear me.
- I do.

As surgeons, we don't
risk a living person's life

to give their organs to someone else.

Not to mention the guilt

the child will feel if
the mother d*ed saving her.

I'm not gonna make that child an orphan.

Max doesn't get a liver, she
doesn't have a future at all.

It's your call, AJ.

If you can get Tracy
cleared for surgery,

I'll operate with you.

But whatever you decide,
you have my full support.

I just reached the damaged valve.

And now I will deploy the bioprosthetic.

And once it opens,

you should be able to breathe easier.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

Oh...

(INHALES, CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

And after this?

After this, you rest.

The new valve should
make your heart relax

and the fluid in your lungs go down.

And then I can donate

if Max doesn't get better?

We're all hoping that
Dr. Hawkins can figure out

what's going on with your
daughter so you won't have to.

But, yes,

if she doesn't improve by tomorrow,

we will proceed with the transplant.

Previously healthy with rapidly

Worsening coagulopathy.

- What have you ruled out?
- Ischemia,

toxic ingestions, viral
causes, autoimmune.

Did you send CMV?

Three times.

An anti-smooth muscle antibody?

Negative.

Family history?

Not that we know of.

Uh, any ingestions? She's a kid,

maybe she was outside.

No poison mushroom in the woods.

So you really have ruled
everything out, haven't you?

I think we both know what this is.

It's idiopathic. We can't find

the cause of Max's liver failure
and we'll likely never know.

Words I never thought I'd
live to hear you say, Hawkins.

Well, in over % of
hepatic failure cases,

we never find the reason.

Well, if we don't know the cause,

that means it could
recur after transplant.

Yeah. But it's highly unlikely
based on everything I ruled out.

And we all know she'll
die without a new liver.

Of that, we can be sure.

So we turn our attention
to Tracy and hope that

she can recover in time
for us to attempt...

- KIT: ... We'll have less than we ever had.
- transplant.

I'm too late.

I am so sorry, Kit.

Don't be.

Everyone's still here.

I told them you were worth the wait.

JAKE: Please be seated.

Welcome.

We're here to celebrate the love

between Randolph Bell and Kit Voss.

They started out as colleagues,

became friends and had the
courage to open their hearts,

take the leap

and risk it all for love.

Thank God they did.

And now the bride and groom
have prepared their vows

that they would like to share.

Go ahead, Kit.

KIT: Randolph,

you know how I like to be right.

- Mm-hmm.
- (GALLERY LAUGHS)

When I first met you, I thought

you were a bit of an arrogant sod.

(LAUGHS)

I never expected

you'd make me feel so happy,

so loved.

And I never, ever thought
you'd be my forever.

But, Randolph, you are.

And I've never been so
glad to have been so wrong.

(CHUCKLES)

(SIGHS) Kit.

Thank you for waiting for me to...

(STAMMERS)

... become the man I am now.

I've made some mistakes.

Most here could name a few.

And then I met someone who...

believed I could be better.

A better... surgeon.

A better stepfather.

Just a better person.

And all I could do
was just try and become

the man that somehow...

... you knew I could be.

Kit, everything that's good in me

is because of you.

Okay.

And now...

by the power vested in...

- Okay. (LAUGHS)

What a day.

I can't believe everything worked out.

Well, I think both mother and
daughter are gonna be okay,

and Tracy may want to
make sure Chastain is, too.

And I heard back from
Governor Betz's office.

He's calling a meeting
so I can make my case.

You're incredible.

I'm so proud of you, Mrs. Bell.

And I of you,

Mr. Voss.
