Previously on Best Medicine
Famous heart surgeon
from Boston.
I'm curious about
your interpersonal skills.
I take people who are sick
and I make them well.
I have never, never!
You're a real charmer,
aren't you?
This town and all the people
in it are very dear to me.
- I'm keeping my eye on you.
- Get out of here. Go.
And, Sarah
What's it like me back now
after all these years?
I find the people here
irrational.
I'm about to be a YouTube star.
Far too chatty.
Louisa dumped me two weeks
before our wedding
and demanding
Does blood freak you out?
- Mm-hm.
- But you're a doctor!
This place won't let you hide,
and that's a good thing.
Out!
Elaine, I'll see
my first patient.
Elaine, are you there?
Who will hold the spoon
on their nose the longest.
Guess in
the comment section to win
a free coffee at
the Salty Breeze.
Elaine, what are you doing?
Shh. Hosting a game show,
we're live.
Excuse me?
People text me
their game suggestions,
I use whoever's here.
Elaine, that's highly
inappropriate.
You know what it's called?
"Try my patience."
How about
"Try doing your job?"
- That's not as fun.
- Spoons off.
Now.
Okay if I cut the line?
Gotta get to work.
Just need a minute.
Fine.
So what seems to be the problem?
Nothing.
Fit as a fiddle.
That was quick. Goodbye.
Huh. Well, hold on.
I do need your help.
I need a prescription
for some vitamin V.
You know, some "hard candy."
Ah. Sildenafil.
- Viagra.
- Bingo.
- Hm.
- Not that I need it.
You know, just thought I'd have
some on hand, just in case.
Since Louisa and I
are now kaput,
I plan on being very active.
A bad boy.
Ladies, take a number.
I'll have to get
the penicillin ready.
Are you aware of
the possible side effects?
Like having fun, loving life,
and feeling foxy?
No.
Headaches, nausea and priapism?
A painful
and prolonged erection.
Cool.
It's just in case there's,
you know, a little stage fright,
Louise is the only one
I've been with
for eight years, but
Let me tell you,
there were no problems there.
Right. Got it.
Healthy sex life.
Any history of
heart disease, stroke,
low blood pressure
or eye disease?
Nope.
I mean, more than healthy.
- Like, our sex life was like
- Stop talking.
Elaine, next.
Women say that they want
that nice guy, but they don't.
They dump the nice guy.
The nice guy ends up
taking his mom
to Cancun for his honeymoon.
That is not going
to be me ever again.
There's a new sheriff in town.
Good. I wasn't that crazy
about the old one.
Yeah!
- That's a good one, doc.
- Elaine.
Uh, it's
the Browntail Moth rash.
Happens every year.
I just need a prescription
for hydrocortisone cream.
You're awfully young to have
graduated medical school.
I know everything about it.
It's from the hairs of
the moth. They're toxic.
They embed in the skin
causing dermatitis.
This is the season.
He's-he's right.
Half the town gets it.
- He just needs the cream.
- Well, this is fun.
Would you like to help with
an open heart surgery later?
I just need to get to work.
I If I could get
the prescription,
we'll be on our way.
Does an uncontrollable cough
come with
the Browntail Moth allergies?
It's probably just
a coincidence.
Hm. How scientific.
Well, I prefer to actually
examine him.
Okay.
I need you to just take
a deep breath.
I'm gonna need a skin sample.
Now expedite an answer
from the lab,
but in the meantime,
keep Peter out of school.
Looks like this might
be contagious.
- What?
- Out of school?
For the Browntail Moth?
- I have a job!
- So do I.
And in my professional
medical opinion,
it's presenting differently than
just a common insect reaction.
Half the town is about to
come down with this
and you're gonna send them
all home?
Are you nuts?
Let's go.
What a waste of time.
This is insane, doc.
Prepare to be enemy number one.
Wow.
You're on a roll!
All right then.
Who's next?
Just doing my job is so boring.
Harriet.
I cut myself on
a broken pipe, stupid thing.
Well, come in then.
Hey, do you need any help, doc?
None at all.
Okay, let's take
a look at the wound
and see what you have.
Oh, uh
Please, can I help?
If you insist.
Clean up on aisle nine.
Dr. Reese let me
help out all the time.
- Right, Bert?
- Yep.
Like a regular
Florence Nightingale.
Is there anything you can't do?
Not a singles bar. Out.
Okay, wound is
all cleaned up, doc.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. Mm.
Okay, looks like three
butterflies will do it.
Just, uh, keep the wound
clean and dry.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, do you want to go to
the Baked Bean Supper with me?
No. Are you insane?
That's so public.
Might as well announce
we're engaged.
- Never mind.
- Leave.
No, not that
I just, I-I don't have time
for that kind of stuff
right now.
I'm concentrating on my career
and getting out of Port Wenn.
You-you want to leave Port Wenn?
Of course.
There's nothing for me here.
- Done!
- I'll wrap him up!
Like, like leave
Port Wenn for good?
Do I need to call the police?
All finished.
- Here we go.
- All right. Thanks, doc.
- Thanks, Elaine.
- Yeah.
I was very helpful.
One can say, almost invaluable.
- Out.
- Yes.
- Get out.
- Yes. Yep.
Another dinner alone,
Dr. Worst?
That's the saddest thing ever.
That's me in 60 years,
just kill me.
Dr. Best?
- Hello.
- Hello.
Uh, I'm just getting some dinner
to go. If you wanna
- Me too. Yeah.
- Oh.
- So how was your day?
- Unpleasant.
Seems the inmates
want to run the asylum.
Well I heard
about Peter Cronk.
Okay. You may not know this,
but the Browntail Moth
is a very common
Louisa, Martin, your dinners
are coming up.
Doc, glad you're here.
We haven't gotten your RSVP.
- For?
- The Baked Bean Supper!
Right. Because I'm not going.
I think you're adorable.
- Oh, wait, wait, wait.
- Oh, are you serious
You're serious, no, no, no.
You don't understand.
Everyone goes
to the Baked Bean Supper
unless you're dead or in
the hospital and even that.
Lorraine with the oxygen tank.
- Maybe. Hey.
- Mm-mm.
It's the time
when feuds are dropped
and phones are put away
and we all feel less alone.
It's such
a-a wonderful opportunity
to really connect with people.
I mean, even after
all of these years,
I I still find that
I find out something
new about someone.
Well, as this town's doctor,
I feel all I do is learn
something new about someone.
Well, I don't mean
to like, it's not really
Uh, George, why are you
standing like that?
I'm sorry, sweetheart, just
don't look out at the patio.
Hey. What?
George, what are you
Oh.
Jeannie.
She's my, uh,
she's my teaching assistant.
Uh, I'm-I'm-I'm gonna
Hi. We'll be quick.
Just need some cortisone cream.
It's the, uh,
Browntail Moth rash.
- Really?
- So
You know, I think
I'm just gonna take a nap.
Put my stethoscope,
my prescription pad,
and a bowl of Percocet
by the door,
and everyone can just
help themselves.
I didn't mean anything by it.
- It-it just happens.
- Every year.
No. I'm-I'm well aware.
May I dare ask, does Mallory
have any other symptoms?
Well, actually
- Um, I have squirts. Yeah.
- Yes.
So, it's all just coming out.
Like
Me too, actually,
just like that.
Just like
I assume we're talking about
a case of diarrhea?
Yeah.
And then kind of like
Oh.
Do you go to school with a boy
named Peter Cronk by any chance?
He's in my class,
he's really smart.
And was he in school
yesterday afternoon?
We played tag.
Elaine, push back my
appointments for the next hour.
Excuse me.
And please keep Mallory
out of school.
Whoa. Good job.
Yeah. Okay.
- Hi.
- Oh. Hello.
Let's hope it's not weird.
- Mark and I.
- Yeah. Hmm.
Just so you know, I tried Hinge.
Only eligible man
was a 75-minute drive.
And then a ferry.
Of course.
I wish you both the best.
- That's such a relief.
- No
Oh, my God.
Lindsay, Georgia,
he is not a wishbone.
- Hello.
- Oh.
Hello.
Uh, how was your dinner
last night?
I left before Obviously.
Steamed fish.
Very nice.
Good.
Peter Cronk, is he here?
Yes, um, he's inside right now.
And are you aware
I told his mother
- he shouldn't be in school?
- Yes, I am.
But it's not that big of a deal.
It's only the Browntail Moth.
How do you suppose
I can be the town doctor
if no one will do what I say?
Well, it's just
the Browntail Moth.
Does the Browntail Moth
give you diarrhea?
Or a hacking cough? This could
be something very contagious.
And Mrs. Cronk put
a lot of people
Now listen,
there are some people here
with certain
financial hardships.
Okay, part of you
being a doctor here
is knowing your patients.
No, no, my only responsibility
is keeping everyone safe.
Now you tell Mrs. Cronk,
the other teachers
and your principal that
that boy cannot be in school.
Yeah, I'm sure as
a big city doctor,
you're used to having
the last word.
Not sure it works
that way around here.
Oh, I don't need the last.
You kids keep digging!
You gotta stay on schedule.
Eeyore!
Eeyore!
Hey, Eeyore?
Hey, it's me.
Glendon, remember?
When we were kids on the beach?
Nope.
Aw, come on, you're always
moping around like a sad sack.
I had to lighten things up with
a little ribbing, remember?
Actually, I have no idea
what you're talking about.
Hey, I heard you were coming up.
What's the deal?
Big city surgeon
now bandaging knees.
It's actually
none of your business.
Well, I've done very well
for myself.
This is my house.
I did an extension,
putting in an in-ground pool.
Everyone's just loving
coming by.
Kids especially.
Home improvements, never
understood all the hysteria.
Well, you heard about
the Baked Bean Supper?
Impossible not to.
Yeah, it's nothing,
but I'm the sponsor.
Your mother must be so proud.
Hah! Still a sour puss,
just like the old days.
Hey, come by the house
any time you want to, Eeyore.
Well, I'll give you a tour.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
- Oh!
Whoa! Hey, okay.
Hey, doc,
fancy meetin' you here.
Uh-huh. Okay, okay, let's put
down the hedge trimmer now.
You feeling all right?
Whew!
- I'm fine, doc.
- You sure?
Yeah, no need to make
a fuss about.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa!
Ah. I don't know
what's going on.
I've just been feelin'
little dizzy this week.
That happened
because you got dizzy?
Why didn't you tell me?
Well, with Al standing
right there?
No, t-that's not the way
it's supposed to work.
I'm the dad. I'm supposed
to worry about him.
Well, you seem to have some
form of vestibular neuritis.
Should fix itself with
a simple medication.
I'll call in the prescription
of Sally's,
just fill it
as soon as possible.
And do not work until
it's cleared up, okay?
Do not work? Doc, what are you,
crazy? I-I got bills to pay.
- Fine. You're right.
- I am?
- Really?
- Sure.
Dizzy spells and power tools
go great together.
Take the pills and do not work.
Do you hear me?
Fine.
You two, okay,
you got it, you got it.
Okay, you two, go,
try, try, try.
I won! I won!
We have a winner!
Elaine?
What's this?
Today's game is Chubby Buddy.
And how many of you are here for
the so-called
Browntail Moth allergy?
Something is not right.
You'd better fix me up quick.
I can't go to
the Baked Bean Supper like this.
How in God's name can you be
thinking about Baked Beans now?
It's not like we could miss it.
Rain or shine,
there's always the supper.
There must have been at least
one year it was canceled.
Year? It's every month,
and never.
- Every month?
- Mm-hmm.
And it still makes you
all weepy.
Mm-hmm.
Life is uncertain.
Traditions give us the illusion
of a future that we can
look forward to.
Well, bad news,
not this month. Mnh-mnh.
No dinner is worth
a whole town getting sick.
The Baked Bean Supper
is canceled.
Hello.
My mom says you're
the A-word, the B-word,
the S-word, and
the F-word with the A-word.
Well, thank you so very much.
What am I supposed to do now?
Don't blame me, I just came
to invite you to dinner.
Martin, everybody's
very pissed off at you
for canceling the supper.
I'm just doing my job.
- It's only the Browntail Moth.
- Stop!
Just not another word. Do you
want to come to dinner or not?
No, thank you,
I'd rather eat alone.
Not you too.
If you must know, I look forward
to the supper too.
Because of the sacredness
of tradition
or the cozy warmth of community,
or do baked bean fairies
just come and fly and moonlight.
It's George's brown bread.
It's miraculous, and he only
makes it for the supper.
Which means, I'll have
to wait another month!
Hm.
Oh, you met him?
Well, he's definitely
the F-word with the A-word.
Yes, once a bully,
always a bully.
What do you mean by that?
Nothing, just some
childish name calling.
Don't give yourself a stroke.
You had it hard
enough back then.
Last thing you needed was
somebody else making it harder.
You say the word,
I'll kick him in the teeth.
Thank you.
Not in a strange way,
that's actually very touching.
Hm. Now get the hell out of
here, these are my regulars.
I gotta sell some lobsters.
Come on, I just came in,
and we got some beauties.
Oh, feisty.
- Where is everyone?
- Cancelled.
Cancelled, why?
Because of the Baked Bean
Supper. You're being boycotted.
People are sick and they
won't see me? That's insane.
You're telling me?
How am I supposed to do
a show called
"Try My Patients"
with no patients?
- You're killing my likes.
- No, I'm right about this.
It's not the Browntail Moth.
Call the lab, tell them I need
the results from
the samples now.
I know the skin sample
results will prove
that it's not the
Browntail Moth allergy.
Freshly-sharpened
pencil for you.
Dylan, will you help Xavier?
All right, stay with your buddy.
- Oh. Oh
- No.
Oh, um, Isabel,
Elizabetta, you've got this.
I'll be right back.
Everything okay?
Everything okay?
- Mm-hm.
- Oh, no.
Wh-what happened?
Nothing, it's just, it's Mark.
- No.
- We had se play date.
Right.
- Two nights ago.
- Mm-hm.
And then he never called me.
Then I called him,
and he told me that it was
just a play date.
- Nothing more.
- Okay.
And that he wants to be free
to have s
play dates.
- Mm-hm.
- With whomever he wants.
I thought he was
one of the nice ones.
What did you do to him?
Oh.
It's fine.
It's fine.
Um, just a
Miss-Miss Jeannie's gonna take
a bathroom break.
Yeah. Okay.
Hi, everyone. I know
that you're boycotting
and I kind of get it, but
remember to like my videos.
Got to still keep
those numbers up.
Wow.
Very brave coming here.
Hope nobody saw you.
I don't care what people think.
I just wanted to tell you
that if you
ever need help with
your career, just ask me.
I don't mean anything romantic.
I just mean, like, cameraman
or, uh, help carrying things,
anything.
Really?
Because I-I meant it.
I can't have anyone
tying me down.
I get it. I promise.
I just, I wanna help you
make your dreams come true.
- What's more?
- Elaine?
Has the lab called back yet?
Well, they better, you know,
just cancel the Baked
Bean Supper on a hunch.
I'm leaving. Bye.
Hello, you little muppet.
Elaine, if you like him
so much, take him home.
Otherwise, get him out of here.
Well, there you go again,
you little wriggle mutt.
How long has he been doing this?
What?
The back scratching?
- Mm-hmm.
- I don't know. Like a week.
What are you doing?
Don't you think you should
buy him dinner first?
He's got rashes all over,
that's why he's been so itchy.
It presents similarly to
the ones I've been seeing.
You mean he caught
the disease too?
Not possible.
No, he might be the cause of it.
What are you gonna do to him?
Hey, doc.
Well, what do we have here?
Possibly a highly
contagious dog.
I've contacted Animal Control.
They advised me
to bring him here
until they can pick him up.
Please stay as far away
from him as you can.
- And don't touch him.
- What?
What am I supposed to do
with a highly
I need you to sign
this form to confirm
that he is no longer my problem.
What do you want?
To schedule another wedding
you can walk out on?
I, I thought we could
have a talk.
Just please sign,
so I can leave.
I would like you to leave.
- I'm trying to.
- No. Her.
Mark, Mark, look,
I'm sorry that I hurt you.
But-but this whole
"playboy" thing?
Look, it's not nice.
It's not you.
Well, I'm not nice anymore.
You get it,
you cured me of that.
And if you can't handle
your jealousy,
then that's not my problem.
Why can't anyone in this town
have a private conversation?
- In private.
- Fine, just fine.
Oh, the lab results.
- Confirmed. Zoonotic.
- Zoonotic.
Not a clue, doc.
The disease is spread
animal to human,
or in this case, dog to human.
Wait, but if humans
aren't spreading the rash,
then what about
the Baked Bean Supper?
Let the angels sing
and the trumpets blow.
You can have your
Baked Bean Supper after all.
Well, I mean, that's good news.
Actually, come to think of it
I prefer if you didn't go.
What?
That's unheard of.
There's always a first time.
- Mark.
- I rubbed your feet
every single night
for eight years.
And now you just expect me
to eat beans with you.
Mark, Mark,
you're my best friend.
Are you saying that we're never
gonna be able to be friends?
Never.
Come on.
Son of a
Here, doll.
Don't drink with it.
Hm. Hello.
Do you have gentamicin in stock?
Well, Dr. Best,
I'm so glad you stopped by.
Sally Mylow, pharmacist.
The other medical
professional in town.
Mm-hmm.
I've been wondering
when our new town doctor
was going to pay me a visit.
Dr. Reese found
my input invaluable.
You're right, actually.
I apologize.
I've been busy
with the so-called
Browntail Moth epidemic.
It's Tularemia.
And I'll be prescribing
gentamicin for it
How clever for knowing it
wasn't the Browntail Moth Rash.
Thank you,
but I'm not Jonas Salk.
I diagnosed some cases
of diarrhea.
Anyway, gentamicin, you're
gonna need a lot of it.
- Understood?
- My Marky was right.
You are all business.
- Sheriff Mark?
- Hmm.
My baby boy.
Do you see the resemblance?
Yes, neither of you seem to
enjoy a linear conversation.
- You're funny.
- Mm.
Please just make sure you have
enough medication in stock.
Oh, and while I'm here,
did Bert Large
fill his prescription
for Prednisone?
No, but I saw him doing
some yard work
just a few doors down.
Dammit, he's working
just like I asked him not to.
You're so passionate
about your patients.
I love that about you.
Oh, sorry.
I can be a bit much sometimes.
Good to know.
Just Your neck brace.
Is there anything I should know?
- What, this?
- Mm-hmm?
Uh, well, it's a story.
Maybe over a glass
of Chardonnay?
Too much, Miss Mylow.
- Thank you for the feedback.
- Mm-hmm.
Bert! Bert!
- Oh.
- You okay?
Oh, hey, doc.
Wait a minute.
- Did you just
- Yes, I did.
Thanks a lot.
Why don't anyone in this town
listen to me?
Here, come on.
Hop on out.
It's a one pill
two times a day for five days.
Thank you.
I, uh, I guess we all
owe you an apology.
It wasn't
the Browntail Moth after all.
Yes.
Everyone can put away
their tar and feathers
and go have their
beans and bread.
Yeah, well, I don't think
I'll be going anyway, so
- Oh.
- Mark asked me not to go.
I haven't missed one
in over ten years.
I mean, it feels strange,
like cutting off a limb.
I don't have a clue
what you're talking about.
But if it's that
important to you,
to hell with Mark,
you do what you like.
Well, I'll go if you go.
Oh, uh, I get the impression
it's a very public event.
Oh, no, no.
- They know each other well.
- I didn't mean it like that.
It was, uh, it was just a joke.
I'm like, I, like
Why-why don't we go with you?
I misunderstood.
You said you didn't want to go.
- Now it's "Go, go."
- Never mind. Just forget it.
Already forgotten.
Uh, remember,
two pills a day for
- five days and, uh
- Mm-hmm. Okay.
- But one last thing.
- Yep, okay.
Um, when did you come
in contact with the dog?
Uh, what dog?
The one from the police station,
but before then.
I hadn't.
- Are you sure?
- Positive.
Where have you been
the past few days?
School. Home.
The Salty Breeze?
You wouldn't be spreading
a horrible virus,
- would you, honey?
- It's a myth, you know,
that pigs are dirty.
I could eat off of her.
Please don't.
I don't see anything.
It's not her.
Now, is there anywhere else
a large percentage
of this town has been to
where there might be animals?
Uh, the biggest thing
going on in this town
right now is
the Baked Bean Supper.
And Glendon's renovation.
Hm.
Hello, this is Sherrif Mark
from Port Wenn.
I have a sick dog.
How much would it be
for a vet to look at him?
$400?
Even for an officer of the law?
Buddy.
You have a ride with
Yeah. It's awesome.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I-I love it.
No, it's perfectly safe.
Excuse me just a minute.
I'll be right back.
What the hell are
you doing here?
Exactly, how many people
have been
on your property
in the last two weeks?
What are you doing here?
What
This is a bag of mice?
Answer my question.
Half the town.
Everyone loves coming over here.
- Louisa, Peter Cronk?
- Yeah.
Why?
What are you saying?
You're a lunatic, Eeyore!
A trespassing
psychopathic lunatic!
Sorry, I think I got it.
From the dog who got it
from playing
near the dead dirty mice, right?
- That's nasty.
- Waiting to hear a confirmation.
They still haven't
picked him up?
Not yet.
Guess I'll need some medicine,
doc, 'cause, 'cause
Let me take a look.
Exactly how stupid
do you think I am?
Hmm?
Wait, a peel-off rash?
Really?
He's not eating,
and I couldn't afford
to take him to the vet.
You know, it's like
the same medicine
for dogs and humans, right?
Yes, but it's against the law
to acquire medicine
under false pretenses, officer.
Okay, you know, I know that
we don't know
each other very well.
But no matter how much
you act like you don't care,
I don't believe that you would
let an innocent dog die, doc.
Okay. Stop with
the fake coughing.
I have never done
this before in my life.
This will never
happen again, deal?
Give him only half.
Thank you, doc.
Hey, when he's all fixed up,
I'll bring him right back here.
- Okay.
- What? No, absolutely not.
No, no, it's the last thing
you should do, Mark.
Buddy, take your meds.
Yeah, they're you go.
Oh, yeah!
I know
Hey! Hey!
No! Hey! Hey!
Hey! No!
Man, my one prisoner
I let escape.
- Hello?
- What are you doing here?
I thought you had
to go to your
Exactly,
and you're going with me.
Absolutely not.
I just put a salmon in the oven.
Then take it out.
Martin, are you or are you not
a resident of Port Wenn?
Unfortunately.
Then start acting like one,
especially after almost
canceling the supper.
No, I have been looking forward
to a quiet night at home.
Like all the other quiet
nights at home, Martin?
When you act like
you don't like people,
they start thinking
you don't like them.
You're going to
the Baked Bean Supper.
I'm starting not to like you.
How long does this thing last?
Can I get it to go?
Oh, stop it.
The worst thing
it could happen to you tonight
is maybe a little heartburn.
I understand that it was Glendon
who's been the source
of our irritation.
No surprise.
Yes, the mice
came back positive.
I think you're gonna have
a lovely time tonight.
George's brown bread
is worth a triple
Martin?
What?
Louisa!
Louisa!
- What are you
- If I have to go to this
ridiculous thing,
then so do you.
Really?
Okay.
Five minutes and we're leaving.
Okay.
What?
I can wait.
Yeah.
Hey, doc.
Uh, sorry again
for popping you in the nose.
Doc.
- Mm. Cute suit.
- Yass, doc.
Hey.
So you decided to come.
Yes, uh, just didn't feel
right not too.
Cool.
Okay.
Oh, look, I think
I found some chairs.
Okay. Okay.
Ah. I told you we shouldn't
have gotten here so late!
- Oh, hey.
- Hey.
Ooh. Free table.
You, uh, wanna join?
So, what do you think?
Calm down, I haven't even
started eating.
Not-not the beans.
All of it.
You get it?
No.
Eeyore!
Ah, you got nerve
showing up here.
Did you know? The city
shut down my construction.
It's going to set me back weeks.
Now everyone thinks my house
got people sick.
And your house
did get people sick!
How? Look around.
None of this would be happening
if it wasn't for me.
Please. You donated a bag
of beans, not a hospital wing.
Oops.
The truth is, I do remember you.
- I knew it.
- You were a pathetic,
insecure bully
who's turned into a more
obnoxious sack of gas.
- Marty.
- I know. I know.
I can't.
It's the Baked Bean Supper.
All I was gonna say is that
it's just about time
that somebody said something.
What?
All right, forget it.
The Baked Bean Supper
is canceled.
Everyone out.
You can't throw us out.
Who the hell do
you think you are?
Santa Claus,
canceling Christmas?
Fine.
But this is the last supper
I ever pay for.
What do y'all think about that?
Good.
We'll all pitch in
and pay for it ourselves.
Worth every penny
to not hear you
go on about it every month.
Susan! Gilbert!
I-I couldn't agree more.
You better watch
your back, Eeyore.
I knew this was a bad idea.
- I knew it.
- What? Martin.
You really should know
what all the fuss is about.
So, what do you think?
Absolutely delicious.
Why is it so satisfying
when people like what we like?
Uh, never noticed that.
So, um, what happened
all those years ago?
Oh, uh
Oh, uh
No, you don't, uh,
have to tell me.
- I shouldn't I
- I I'd rather not.
Oh, oh
Okay.
Yeah.
I had a sister.
She died in a car accident
when I was six.
She was eight.
I was also in the car
at the time.
I was sent to Port Wenn
for the summers after that,
my parents
I-I just wanted to be
left alone.
But there was Glendon constantly
mocking me for
being sad, I guess.
- I'm so sorry.
- Hmm.
A few months ago, a little girl
came in for heart surgery.
It's a car accident.
Same age as my sister.
I froze.
Another doctor had to
take over for me.
So, what happened?
I ended up developing, uh
a desire to lead a quieter life.
Well
Seems we had
a Baked Bean Supper after all.
- Mm.
- Mm.
Hmm.
Would you like some more water?
Sure. Yeah.
Get No! No!
Get Get out! Get out!
