[slow exhalation]
[light music playing]
I need a shower.
And my bed.
Some personal space.
I heard they're letting us
out of here tonight,
so you can have all the space you want.
You know, you better just take this.
You know I don't like to share.
[phone chimes]
I have to pee before I go back in there.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about what I said.
Okay, continue.
I'm glad that I went to HR.
Okay.
And I love you.
I love you too.
Um…
I… I heard some of the residents
are throwing a party tonight
at the Goodtime Hotel.
I'm not going.
Don't do the thing.
I'm not doing the thing.
I'm keeping my work life
and my personal life separate.
It's called boundaries.
Danny, we're literally
never anywhere else.
Go to the party. Relax a little.
Work can be relaxing.
[phones chiming]
Mm. Car crash.
Good. Time to unwind.
What does Phillips do now?
Sit at home and wait until
they tell him if his career's over?
I don't know. It's bullshit.
Aren't you supposed to say something
irritatingly progressive
in favor of Danny?
- He's my friend too.
- Oh!
- So now you're changing sides.
- Why I gotta be on anybody's side, bro?
Yeah. Well, it'd be less confusing for me,
so, you know, make up your mind.
Morning. Did you hear
they're letting us out tonight?
Yep.
Twenty-eight-year-old male,
passenger, GCS of nine.
Obvious head trauma
and deformity to the right arm.
He wasn't wearing a seatbelt,
and his airbags deployed.
We heard two. Where's the other?
Thirty-six-year-old female,
MVC, driving erratically,
hit another car and caught fire.
GCS of ten with obvious head injuries
and blunt force trauma to the chest.
Wedding rings. We have an ID on these two?
- I got them at the scene.
- I'll take those. Thank you very much.
[edgy music playing]
Hey, can I help?
Sure, but not on this.
A ruptured triple-A just came in.
You're giving me a ruptured triple-A?
Do you want it or not?
Yes, 100%. Yeah.
Great. Don't screw it up.
- Airway's deviated.
- Absent breath sounds on the left.
- Tension pneumo. Needle decompression?
- Nah, he's gonna need a chest tube anyway.
Might as well go right to it,
skip the needle.
Yes, ma'am.
- You guys need a hand?
- I think Harper's got it.
- Or we could let the surgeon do it.
- Too late. I'm in.
Cole? Dr. Simms needs you.
Okay.
Go ahead, man. We're good.
- Let's get a portable chest X-ray for him.
- [woman] On it.
Wait.
Check this out.
He's got a burn on his face.
Airbag, maybe?
Yeah, but it's only on the right side.
That's not typical, is it?
When did Elijah
and your sister get so friendly?
- They're friendly people.
- Friendlier than usual.
- [Danny] Oh!
- [Cole] Ugh…
- Are you kidding me?
- Stapler.
[Harper] Hey.
Husband is packed up, sent to CT.
- Need anything?
- Uh, nope.
All good here. Gonna get her sent to C
and see what we're dealing with.
Cops said they were driving erratically.
You think she was drinking?
There's a lot of vaginal bruising
and swelling.
Plus the airbag burn
on the right side of his face.
You don't think--
That he was down there, doing--
Doing her taxes.
Yo, how does that even work?
Oh, it works.
You just gotta get the angle right.
Oh, married folks
ain't putting in that much effort.
- What about the wedding rings?
- [Luis] Oh, they're married.
Just not to each other.
Different names and addresses.
So I did a little research,
and he is married to a woman named Gigi.
Mm-hmm. And this…
This is her husband, Ed.
- Okay, juicy.
- Guys, not our concern.
Let's get her ready to go to CT.
[music fades]
Hey, Soph. You headed
to that ruptured triple-A patient?
Forget it. Go do some stitches.
Well, I don't wanna work with you either,
but Danny told me to come help.
- Where's Cole?
- Cole has me running point.
On a triple-A? That's pretty cool, right?
It's extremely cool.
[wheezing breath]
Ma'am?
Hi, I'm Dr. Chan.
So Cole pawned this off on you, huh?
I'm guessing he didn't tell you
she's from Angels of Mercy?
What's Angels of Mercy?
It's a nursing home down the street.
We call 'em Angels of Death.
They only send patients
that'll never make it.
We don't know that for sure yet.
[soft music playing]
What's her story?
Rose Green.
She's 99 years old.
History of severe dementia.
She's minimally responsive
and hypotensive.
CT shows a ruptured, contained triple-A,
bedside hemoglobin 7.
Okay. That's not… great.
Uh, but I can present to Dr. Soriano.
- See if--
- Cole already did.
She's not a surgical candidate.
She'd never survive the operation.
So he knew.
- What's her code status?
- No DNR.
[softly] You're kidding me.
[monitor chiming]
What about her low blood pressure?
Her abdomen's distended.
She's bleeding out.
Have we typed
and crossed her for blood yet?
- We're really gonna give her blood?
- Without a DNR, we don't have a choice.
[Rose moaning weakly]
Can we get her morphine or something?
She's so hypotensive,
even a little bit would kill her.
She's in pain.
There's gotta be something we can do.
[sighs]
[woman] I'll be there in a few hours.
Mrs. Lamar, I'm so sorry,
but your mother might not have that long.
I'm packing right now,
and I'll be in a car right away.
Do you know
what your mother's wishes were?
No, but please keep her alive.
I need to hold her hand one last time.
Please.
[music fades]
[in Spanish] Hey, Danny. The police.
[in English] He wants to see you.
Uh, I know that you need that blood,
but you have to wait till she's out of CT.
No problem.
I'll just finish up writing these reports.
Okay.
Okay, we're walking.
I'm guessing alcohol is not
the cause of the accident anyway.
What makes you say that?
Because I was there.
I saw what they were doing.
- Which was?
- You gonna make me say it?
You seem determined to.
Hi, I'm Officer Cam Fuentes.
It's nice to meet you, Danielle Simms.
[light music playing]
Wrong day. EMS workroom's that way.
[chuckles]
- [music fades]
- [equipment chiming]
Christina?
Hi, I'm Dr. Simms.
Do you know where you are?
[coughing weakly]
It's okay.
You're in the hospital.
You were in a car accident.
My husband. Where's Ed?
Your husband? We We called him.
Does he know?
About Mateo?
All he knows is you were in an accident.
I hate to bring this up,
but there's a cop outside.
Can you open your mouth?
He wants to get some blood
just so he can check…
If I was drinking.
Yeah.
I think you know why we crashed.
All we're concerned about
is getting you better, okay?
God, it sounds so cliché.
I met Mateo at a gym. He was my trainer.
Do you want to see him?
Is he okay?
Yeah.
I know this sounds horrible, but I…
I don't.
[tearfully] All I want is my husband.
[soft music plays]
[crying softly] I'm not
the person that does this.
I have rules for myself.
Lines that I thought I would never cross.
- [music turns dark]
- I don't know how I got here.
- [heartbeat thumping]
- [breathy oscillating tones]
- [sharp breath]
- [heartbeat stops]
You look nice.
Thanks.
Where are you going?
- Dinner.
- Where?
Checco's.
Fancy.
We playing 20 Questions, or you gonna
tell me who you're going with?
[sighs]
Velasquez and Rourke.
Wow.
That must mean they're very seriously
considering you for an attending position.
Hey, can you, uh… help, please?
Sure.
Hi.
[soft chuckle] Hi.
Been meaning to ask,
what's your favorite restaurant?
Silva's Bowling Alley in Florida City.
Best grilled cheese in the state.
My dad used to take us.
Okay, come on.
I'm serious.
[gentle music plays]
I've been thinking about your car.
Really nice interior.
Hmm.
[both chuckle lightly]
I…
I think…
if you're gonna see
the inside of my car again…
Yeah?
…that…
maybe we should report this to HR,
like… we're supposed to.
- HR?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, you have
a lot of power over my career.
And, you know, if we're gonna start…
a relationship, we should report it.
A relationship?
I…
I'm not saying that
I want to be in a relationship.
I'm just saying that
if we're going to do this again,
we should…
make it clean.
Yeah, sure.
But don't you think
maybe we should clarify
what this is…
before we put it in a formal report?
What do we say? Do we describe
the great sex we had that night?
I think we should
talk about this somewhere more private.
You don't want people hearing it?
What do you think is gonna happen
if we go to HR?
Everybody's gonna find out,
and they're all gonna have opinions.
Uh, opinions about us or…
opinions about me?
You know what I'm saying.
I don't actually think
I know what you're saying.
I'm… I'm saying some people are assholes,
and, yes, will assume
that you're trying to sleep your way up.
If you really wanna report it,
I'm happy to go with you.
Okay?
I gotta go. I'm late. Wish me luck.
[door opens]
- [music fades]
- [slow exhalation]
Harper!
Whatever it is can wait.
I've had to pee since this morning.
It's a kid. It's a toddler.
With a gnarly broken arm and parents
who are about to throw a fit.
Just a quick talk? Get things started?
Pretty please…
[in Spanish] …with sugar on top.
[in English] Okay. Fine.
- Come on. This way.
- Two minutes.
[little kid crying]
[woman] It's okay.
[Luis] I got the doctor.
Hi. I'm Dr. Simms.
Uh…
Oh wow, Ella. Look at the pretty doctor.
- [Ella crying]
- Isn't she pretty?
This is Ella?
No, this is a kitty princess.
And what did the kitty princess
get up to? Ooh.
She stood up in the wagon,
went over the side, landed on her arm.
Oh no. Not my first wagon accident.
Ouch.
I'm sorry. I know. I know, it hurts.
That was not a very fun wagon ride,
was it?
- [Ella cries]
- [Harper] Oh… I'm sorry.
We're gonna make you feel better, okay?
Mom, you wanna hold her?
- Okay
- I know, baby. So many big feelings.
[Harper] Yeah.
- Look at that.
- [woman] Ooh.
[Harper] Yeah? All right.
Hey, Luis, can we look at that X-ray?
[Luis] Mm-hmm.
[woman softly] Look at that. Look at that.
[Harper] Okay.
The good news is
it looks like a clean break,
but unfortunately we are going to need
to pull on her arm to reset the bones.
You can do it now?
Ella doesn't have to wait another hour.
- We do have other…
- [Ella crying]
- [sobbing softly]
- [woman sighs]
Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Yeah, we can do it now.
We will need to give her
a low dose of ketamine to sedate her.
Ketamine? Like the party drug?
It is a form of anesthesia.
We use it every day.
We will monitor her every step of the way.
All right. We're in. Fine.
- Let's do it.
- Great.
Okay. Luis, let's get her set up
for conscious sedation, okay?
[Luis] Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, I know.
- It's okay, baby.
- [background chatter]
- [indistinct PA announcement]
[phone ringing]
Don't worry. I got my blood.
I'll be out of your hair in no time.
You're not bothering me.
[light music playing]
I know when I'm batting above my average.
Have you looked in a mirror lately?
[chuckles]
Any idea what my family would say
if I brought home a doctor?
[chuckles]
I'm talking cloth napkins
from my grandma's credenza.
Glasses actually made of glass?
[chuckles]
What? Did you think
I was fancy or something?
I mean…
[laughs]
What's going on there?
It's just a scrape. No big deal.
Mm-hmm.
Up.
"A scrape."
[sighs]
Yeah, I might need a stitch or two.
Okay.
- Come on.
- Yes, ma'am.
[crying]
It takes ten minutes to take effect,
then lasts another ten.
That'll give me plenty of time
to set her arm before the drugs wear off.
- I'll be right back.
- Wait, you're leaving?
There's nothing that can be done
until the drugs take effect.
I'll be back in ten minutes.
[light music playing]
- [woman] I'm busy.
- Well, you better be busy while disabled.
[toilet flushes]
- Hmm.
- Sorry.
[chuckling sigh]
Ugh!
Mm-hmm.
Danny, can you bring a self-cath kit
to the ER bathroom ASAP?
I forgot my pouch.
- [sighs]
- [music fades]
[grunts]
How long have you been a doctor?
It really feels like you're hooking a rug.
[scoffs softly] You're the one
who opted for no lidocaine, tough guy.
Yeah, well, would you wanna go on a date
with a guy that asks you
to numb him for five stitches?
Be honest.
You remind me of my dad.
Oh…
That was not what I was going for.
He's a firefighter.
Retired now, very charming guy.
Could talk to anybody.
Told my mom he was gonna marry her
the day they met, actually.
My parents, they met at a market.
[chuckles] Literally reaching
for the same mango.
I was hoping to meet someone
like the way they did.
What about you?
But, honestly,
my deal is that my personal life
stays out of my professional 100%.
Yeah, well. [clears throat]
I don't own a pair of scrubs.
[light music plays]
- And I'm retiring soon.
- [chuckles] Okay.
- Why are you laughing? I'm serious.
- Come on.
I'm gonna work with my brother.
He got this yacht chartering company
and it's growing superfast.
So, I thought I could help him out.
Wow.
Trading in your badge
for a bathing suit, huh?
Honestly, I've been wanting
to do it for a while now.
Sorry.
You're still here
for professional reasons.
Boundaries.
Okay.
I kind of wish
I opted for that lidocaine now.
Oh, shit.
[music fades out]
- Harper, hey, I have it.
- Thanks, but I don't have time now.
- Ugh. I'm sorry, I didn't see my phone.
- It's fine, it's not you.
I have this kid with parents
that are total dicks. I gotta go.
Thank you anyway.
She's coming around.
She's been fidgeting for three minutes.
That's just normal involuntary movement
under sedation.
I want to pull another doctor in on this.
I need to set your daughter's arm now,
otherwise the drugs will wear off.
- Then we'll have to start again.
- Are you a doctor?
Can you help us?
- Yeah.
- [woman] Our child has a broken arm.
And this doctor wants to reset it
though the ketamine has worn off.
[clears throat]
Well, she's sedated,
exactly where she's supposed to be
for the procedure
that Dr. Simms is about to perform.
I think she wants to help your daughter
in a reasonable amount of time.
- You might be standing in the way.
- [scoffs] Oh…
[woman] Stop.
Stop.
Please just set her arm.
Okay.
[soft cracking]
Strong pulses.
We'll need to get a post-reduction X-ray,
but I think we're all good here.
I'm… I'm sorry, I just need to say this.
We don't feel like
we were heard or respected.
And we went out of our way
to be respectful to you.
I'm sorry that you did not
have a good experience.
[soft music playing]
[locker slams]
[Harper exhales]
- [music fades]
- [indistinct chattering]
Harper okay?
Yeah, she's fine.
[woman shouting in room]
What's going on?
Wife just got here.
[both shouting in Spanish]
It's better than Bravo.
[shouts] Terminado!
Not the Housewives.
Nothing beats Salt Lake City.
Danny, it's Christina in three.
She's been feeling short of breath.
We've been seeing a lot of ectopy.
Okay.
- Hi, I'm Ed Fonseca.
- [male staff] Dr. Simms?
Christina Fonseca's husband.
Uh, give me one second.
I'll be right back.
- [equipment beeping]
- [tense music playing]
[music intensifies]
Hey, Christina, stay with us, okay?
I need a crash cart now!
- Oh my God, baby!
- Sir, I need you to leave.
- What's going on? What's happening?
- She has bruising to her heart.
- Electrical signals aren't transmitting.
- Is she gonna die?
I know you're scared now,
but you need to let us do our job.
- I will update you as soon as we can.
- I need you to leave.
Let's pace her to 100.
- [beeping]
- [high-pitched ringing]
Stay with us, Christina, okay?
Shit. Pacer isn't capturing.
Give me the internal pacer kit.
[music turns dramatic]
Harper, hey, I need you.
- What?
- She's in complete heart block.
- Pacer isn't capturing.
- Are you gonna float a pacer wire?
No, you're gonna float a pacer wire.
- Come on!
- Okay.
[dramatic music continues]
- Set this over here.
- Okay.
- Tell me what you're doing.
- I am finding the internal jugular vein.
[heartbeat pulsing]
Good.
Good.
Okay.
Now, slowly, carefully,
guide this towards the heart.
Whoa.
- What did I--
- It's okay.
You went a bit too far. Come back.
Good.
There we go.
Okay.
Okay.
Now, we see.
[high-pitched ringing escalates]
[beeping]
[Danny] You did it.
- You got a capture.
- Wow.
- [Danny] Nice.
- [chuckling] Holy shit.
- Holy shit is right.
- [chuckles]
[bright music rises]
[chuckles quietly]
[music fades]
Harper just floated her first pacer wire.
That's great.
- Everything okay?
- Why?
I don't know.
Because you're barely talking to me.
[scoffs lightly]
Just taking my cues from you.
So what?
- You're pissed that Phillips is gone?
- I'm not pissed.
- Then you're pissed at me still.
- I'm not taking a position.
Oh.
Good, because when I said I needed you
to be there for me, that's what I meant.
- I'm allowed to have feelings about this.
- Can you tell me what your feelings are?
Please? For once?
[scoffing exhale]
I just think it's funny that you said
you don't date people that you work with.
What, that's what this is about?
You're…
hurt that I turned you down
when we were interns?
- Don't turn it like that, Danny.
- I'm sorry.
- You're the one who just brought it up.
- That was one kiss. And we were drunk.
I don't have a photo of you in my wallet.
I'm not pining after you, Danny.
We built a lot of trust
off of that moment.
And I'm hurt you didn't tell me
about Phillips. And you lied.
- I--
- No, you've just been lying.
I did not lie then.
And for the record, I turned him down too.
The difference being he could
take it out on my job, and he did.
And you, not knowing anything
about what happened,
decided to line up with him.
Why didn't you tell me you submitted
early for Chief Resident?
I didn't.
Phillips told me
you wrote that essay months ago.
I… wrote it.
I did not submit it until recently.
Why didn't you tell me
that you wanted to be Chief?
Because it didn't matter.
Because I wasn't gonna get it.
Or… because you didn't want me to think
that you were using Phillips to get it.
[brooding music plays]
[scoffs]
That's what you think?
I mean, what am I supposed to think?
You wanted to be Chief.
You slept with the Chief.
And now, you are the Chief.
[music turns grave]
Okay.
Good to know.
- [music fades]
- [distant chiming]
[indistinct chattering]
Dr. Chan.
[labored rasping breaths]
[exhales]
[flatline tone]
The right thing to do
would be to let her go.
Peacefully.
The daughter didn't give me a DNR.
She said do everything.
Let's get a crash cart in here.
[flatline tone continues]
Are we really gonna do this?
[Chan] We don't have a choice.
I am so sorry.
[somber music playing]
[bones cracking]
[wet crunching]
- Camila, you should just get out of here.
- What? No, no. I'm gonna help you.
- We're going to take turns.
- Trust me.
Just go.
[sorrowful music rising]
Pacer pad's in.
Let's get her intubated. Any pulses?
- Gabe, what's her rhythm?
- [Gabe] V-fib on monitor.
Okay, let's charge to 200.
All right, everybody clear.
- [thumping]
- [Chan] Resume compressions.
- Push one of epi.
- [Gabe] Pulse check?
[Chan] Any pulses? Who's up next?
[Gabe] Can I get another pulse check?
Pulses, anyone?
Charge to 200. Okay, everybody clear.
- [thumping]
- [Chan] All right, who's next?
Resume compressions.
Any pulses? Charge to 200.
Let's get a pulse check.
Okay, everybody clear.
Let's get a pulse check.
- [Chan panting softly]
- [flatline tone continues]
Anything?
[music fades]
Time of death…17:26.
[monitor clicks off]
[mournful music playing]
[Camila] Soph?
Her daughter's here.
[mournful music continues]
[Chan] Uh, Jane?
[muffled soundscape]
Hi, I'm Dr. Chan.
Can we have a moment?
I'm so sorry,
um, but your mother has died.
[sobbing]
[mournful music rises]
[Jane sobbing] I wasn't there.
I wasn't there.
- [sobbing continues]
- [music fades out]
- [indistinct chattering]
- [Danny] Okay, yeah. Thank you.
Ed?
Christina's awake.
She's been asking for you.
[exhales shakily]
Christina?
[exhales shakily]
Hey.
Sunshine face.
- [chuckles weakly]
- [solemn music playing]
[Christina] Hi, baby.
- [music fades]
- [indistinct chattering]
[Camila] Hey, Sophie?
Hey, it's time to go home.
Do you want a ride?
Cole told me
that when you have a patient die,
you need to do two things
when you go out to talk to the family.
The first thing is you tell them
that their loved one has died.
[sorrowful music playing]
And then you have to tell them
that they didn't suffer.
[quietly] But she did.
[sniffles]
[tearfully] She did.
[mournful music rises]
[sobbing]
[music fades]
Yeah, I'll put in the orders,
just run an IV.
I'm on it.
What's that?
That cop, he got you that before he left.
He said it was a little thank-you.
Double espresso, extra foam.
How'd he know I like that?
I told him.
Mm! That's so good.
[Luis] Hallelujah!
[speaking in Spanish]
- [staff clapping]
- The cavalry has arrived!
And the ride-out crew is… out.
- [chuckles dryly] Yeah, that was us once.
- When we were young and beautiful.
I'm kind of sad to leave.
[relaxed music playing]
Treasure that feeling. [chuckles]
Hey. We're free.
Yeah.
You're really not coming
to the party tonight?
Not my jam.

- [bartender] Can I get you a drink?
- Could I get a pisco sour, please?
[bartender] Yeah.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.

[seductive song continues in distance]
[song continues muffled]
What the hell are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
This is the women's restroom.
In the restaurant
where I'm having my meeting.
They have a killer pisco sour.
[Phillips] Yes, they do.
Tell me what you want
because I cannot focus out there.
Is that because
our unreported relationship
might affect your chances
of becoming an attending?
'Cause earlier you seemed
to think that this relationship, or…
whatever you want to call it,
could only hurt me.
[serious music playing]
Do you see what I'm saying?
Yeah.
I do.
I really do.
So…
I guess we're in this together, then.
Yes, we are.
I think we need some…
ground rules.
For how we're gonna navigate this.
Okay. I'm listening.
First of all, you can't look at me at work
the way you're looking at me right now.
Like how? Like this?
Yeah.
No touching.
So I can't touch you…
there?
No.
I can't kiss you here?
[intense pulsating music resumes]

Oh my…

- Cheers.
- Hmm.
Where's Cass? Is she coming?
- Don't start.
- [laughs]
I hear you're taking her
to Soriano's club.
Where'd you hear that?
Same place I heard you've been
spending time with that paramedic.
She's my patient.
I love watching you
get yourself in trouble.
[laughs]
- Oh! Couldn't get enough of us, huh?
- More like I heard there was alcohol here.
Perfect timing. Cole here
was just about to buy the next round.
Come on, let's get a table.
- Was I?
- [Elijah laughs]
- [song continues]
- [excited chattering]
Xander!
[both laughing]
Damn. You clean up nice, man.
[Cole] About time.
- Oh…
- [laughing] Hey.
- Good to see you, mate.
- Good to see you, mate.
Thank you.
["Háblame de Miami"
by Gente de Zona & Maffio plays]
- So what happens if you get fired?
- I open up a dive shop in Key West.
- Come on, seriously.
- Seriously, I don't know what I'll do.
- Are you waiting for someone?
- No.
Danny? Are you joking?
No, no, no. I'm not watching this.
- [sighs]
- Come on.
Look. There's two beautiful women
over there who've already decided
that you're funny and interesting. Now…
Should we go over and see how long it
takes them to realize how wrong they were?
I don't know, man. I think that's…
I think so. Come on.
[song continues]
Before you say anything, I'm not okay.
I am, like, the president
of all the broken dolls.
I have family stuff. I got out of a thing
with a guy at work that messed me up.
I knew it was bad. But I did what I do,
and tried to deal with it on my own
because I don't know how to talk
about anything, but I'm trying to talk…
about things, which is why I'm here,
talking to you right now.
But… believe me when I say
that I'm not looking for a relationship,
Because it's true, and I should have
a consumer warning label that says,
"Trust me,
you don't wanna deal with this."
Hey, Danny.
Yes?
It's just dancing.
[upbeat Spanish song continues]
[speaking indistinctly]
[laughing]
[giggling]
Okay. [laughs]
Are you okay?
- You know what? I'm sorry. I have to go.
- What's wrong?
Honestly, I have something
I need to tell my ex-girlfriend.
- What?
- I gotta go.
Where are you going?

[slow exhalation]
[light music playing]
I need a shower.
And my bed.
Some personal space.
I heard they're letting us
out of here tonight,
so you can have all the space you want.
You know, you better just take this.
You know I don't like to share.
[phone chimes]
I have to pee before I go back in there.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about what I said.
Okay, continue.
I'm glad that I went to HR.
Okay.
And I love you.
I love you too.
Um…
I… I heard some of the residents
are throwing a party tonight
at the Goodtime Hotel.
I'm not going.
Don't do the thing.
I'm not doing the thing.
I'm keeping my work life
and my personal life separate.
It's called boundaries.
Danny, we're literally
never anywhere else.
Go to the party. Relax a little.
Work can be relaxing.
[phones chiming]
Mm. Car crash.
Good. Time to unwind.
What does Phillips do now?
Sit at home and wait until
they tell him if his career's over?
I don't know. It's bullshit.
Aren't you supposed to say something
irritatingly progressive
in favor of Danny?
- He's my friend too.
- Oh!
- So now you're changing sides.
- Why I gotta be on anybody's side, bro?
Yeah. Well, it'd be less confusing for me,
so, you know, make up your mind.
Morning. Did you hear
they're letting us out tonight?
Yep.
Twenty-eight-year-old male,
passenger, GCS of nine.
Obvious head trauma
and deformity to the right arm.
He wasn't wearing a seatbelt,
and his airbags deployed.
We heard two. Where's the other?
Thirty-six-year-old female,
MVC, driving erratically,
hit another car and caught fire.
GCS of ten with obvious head injuries
and blunt force trauma to the chest.
Wedding rings. We have an ID on these two?
- I got them at the scene.
- I'll take those. Thank you very much.
[edgy music playing]
Hey, can I help?
Sure, but not on this.
A ruptured triple-A just came in.
You're giving me a ruptured triple-A?
Do you want it or not?
Yes, 100%. Yeah.
Great. Don't screw it up.
- Airway's deviated.
- Absent breath sounds on the left.
- Tension pneumo. Needle decompression?
- Nah, he's gonna need a chest tube anyway.
Might as well go right to it,
skip the needle.
Yes, ma'am.
- You guys need a hand?
- I think Harper's got it.
- Or we could let the surgeon do it.
- Too late. I'm in.
Cole? Dr. Simms needs you.
Okay.
Go ahead, man. We're good.
- Let's get a portable chest X-ray for him.
- [woman] On it.
Wait.
Check this out.
He's got a burn on his face.
Airbag, maybe?
Yeah, but it's only on the right side.
That's not typical, is it?
When did Elijah
and your sister get so friendly?
- They're friendly people.
- Friendlier than usual.
- [Danny] Oh!
- [Cole] Ugh…
- Are you kidding me?
- Stapler.
[Harper] Hey.
Husband is packed up, sent to CT.
- Need anything?
- Uh, nope.
All good here. Gonna get her sent to C
and see what we're dealing with.
Cops said they were driving erratically.
You think she was drinking?
There's a lot of vaginal bruising
and swelling.
Plus the airbag burn
on the right side of his face.
You don't think--
That he was down there, doing--
Doing her taxes.
Yo, how does that even work?
Oh, it works.
You just gotta get the angle right.
Oh, married folks
ain't putting in that much effort.
- What about the wedding rings?
- [Luis] Oh, they're married.
Just not to each other.
Different names and addresses.
So I did a little research,
and he is married to a woman named Gigi.
Mm-hmm. And this…
This is her husband, Ed.
- Okay, juicy.
- Guys, not our concern.
Let's get her ready to go to CT.
[music fades]
Hey, Soph. You headed
to that ruptured triple-A patient?
Forget it. Go do some stitches.
Well, I don't wanna work with you either,
but Danny told me to come help.
- Where's Cole?
- Cole has me running point.
On a triple-A? That's pretty cool, right?
It's extremely cool.
[wheezing breath]
Ma'am?
Hi, I'm Dr. Chan.
So Cole pawned this off on you, huh?
I'm guessing he didn't tell you
she's from Angels of Mercy?
What's Angels of Mercy?
It's a nursing home down the street.
We call 'em Angels of Death.
They only send patients
that'll never make it.
We don't know that for sure yet.
[soft music playing]
What's her story?
Rose Green.
She's 99 years old.
History of severe dementia.
She's minimally responsive
and hypotensive.
CT shows a ruptured, contained triple-A,
bedside hemoglobin 7.
Okay. That's not… great.
Uh, but I can present to Dr. Soriano.
- See if--
- Cole already did.
She's not a surgical candidate.
She'd never survive the operation.
So he knew.
- What's her code status?
- No DNR.
[softly] You're kidding me.
[monitor chiming]
What about her low blood pressure?
Her abdomen's distended.
She's bleeding out.
Have we typed
and crossed her for blood yet?
- We're really gonna give her blood?
- Without a DNR, we don't have a choice.
[Rose moaning weakly]
Can we get her morphine or something?
She's so hypotensive,
even a little bit would kill her.
She's in pain.
There's gotta be something we can do.
[sighs]
[woman] I'll be there in a few hours.
Mrs. Lamar, I'm so sorry,
but your mother might not have that long.
I'm packing right now,
and I'll be in a car right away.
Do you know
what your mother's wishes were?
No, but please keep her alive.
I need to hold her hand one last time.
Please.
[music fades]
[in Spanish] Hey, Danny. The police.
[in English] He wants to see you.
Uh, I know that you need that blood,
but you have to wait till she's out of CT.
No problem.
I'll just finish up writing these reports.
Okay.
Okay, we're walking.
I'm guessing alcohol is not
the cause of the accident anyway.
What makes you say that?
Because I was there.
I saw what they were doing.
- Which was?
- You gonna make me say it?
You seem determined to.
Hi, I'm Officer Cam Fuentes.
It's nice to meet you, Danielle Simms.
[light music playing]
Wrong day. EMS workroom's that way.
[chuckles]
- [music fades]
- [equipment chiming]
Christina?
Hi, I'm Dr. Simms.
Do you know where you are?
[coughing weakly]
It's okay.
You're in the hospital.
You were in a car accident.
My husband. Where's Ed?
Your husband? We We called him.
Does he know?
About Mateo?
All he knows is you were in an accident.
I hate to bring this up,
but there's a cop outside.
Can you open your mouth?
He wants to get some blood
just so he can check…
If I was drinking.
Yeah.
I think you know why we crashed.
All we're concerned about
is getting you better, okay?
God, it sounds so cliché.
I met Mateo at a gym. He was my trainer.
Do you want to see him?
Is he okay?
Yeah.
I know this sounds horrible, but I…
I don't.
[tearfully] All I want is my husband.
[soft music plays]
[crying softly] I'm not
the person that does this.
I have rules for myself.
Lines that I thought I would never cross.

- I don't know how I got here.
- [heartbeat thumping]
- [breathy oscillating tones]

Thanks.
Where are you going?
- Dinner.
- Where?
Checco's.
Fancy.
We playing 20 Questions, or you gonna
tell me who you're going with?
[sighs]
Velasquez and Rourke.
Wow.
That must mean they're very seriously
considering you for an attending position.
Hey, can you, uh… help, please?
Sure.
Hi.
[soft chuckle] Hi.
Been meaning to ask,
what's your favorite restaurant?
Silva's Bowling Alley in Florida City.
Best grilled cheese in the state.
My dad used to take us.
Okay, come on.
I'm serious.
[gentle music plays]
I've been thinking about your car.
Really nice interior.
Hmm.
[both chuckle lightly]
I…
I think…
if you're gonna see
the inside of my car again…
Yeah?
…that…
maybe we should report this to HR,
like… we're supposed to.
- HR?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, you have
a lot of power over my career.
And, you know, if we're gonna start…
a relationship, we should report it.
A relationship?
I…
I'm not saying that
I want to be in a relationship.
I'm just saying that
if we're going to do this again,
we should…
make it clean.
Yeah, sure.
But don't you think
maybe we should clarify
what this is…
before we put it in a formal report?
What do we say? Do we describe
the great sex we had that night?
I think we should
talk about this somewhere more private.
You don't want people hearing it?
What do you think is gonna happen
if we go to HR?
Everybody's gonna find out,
and they're all gonna have opinions.
Uh, opinions about us or…
opinions about me?
You know what I'm saying.
I don't actually think
I know what you're saying.
I'm… I'm saying some people are assholes,
and, yes, will assume
that you're trying to sleep your way up.
If you really wanna report it,
I'm happy to go with you.
Okay?
I gotta go. I'm late. Wish me luck.
[door opens]

- [slow exhalation]
Harper!
Whatever it is can wait.
I've had to pee since this morning.
It's a kid. It's a toddler.
With a gnarly broken arm and parents
who are about to throw a fit.
Just a quick talk? Get things started?
Pretty please…
[in Spanish] …with sugar on top.
[in English] Okay. Fine.
- Come on. This way.
- Two minutes.
[little kid crying]
[woman] It's okay.
[Luis] I got the doctor.
Hi. I'm Dr. Simms.
Uh…
Oh wow, Ella. Look at the pretty doctor.
- [Ella crying]
- Isn't she pretty?
This is Ella?
No, this is a kitty princess.
And what did the kitty princess
get up to? Ooh.
She stood up in the wagon,
went over the side, landed on her arm.
Oh no. Not my first wagon accident.
Ouch.
I'm sorry. I know. I know, it hurts.
That was not a very fun wagon ride,
was it?
- [Ella cries]
- [Harper] Oh… I'm sorry.
We're gonna make you feel better, okay?
Mom, you wanna hold her?
- Okay
- I know, baby. So many big feelings.
[Harper] Yeah.
- Look at that.
- [woman] Ooh.
[Harper] Yeah? All right.
Hey, Luis, can we look at that X-ray?
[Luis] Mm-hmm.
[woman softly] Look at that. Look at that.
[Harper] Okay.
The good news is
it looks like a clean break,
but unfortunately we are going to need
to pull on her arm to reset the bones.
You can do it now?
Ella doesn't have to wait another hour.
- We do have other…
- [Ella crying]
- [sobbing softly]
- [woman sighs]
Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Yeah, we can do it now.
We will need to give her
a low dose of ketamine to sedate her.
Ketamine? Like the party drug?
It is a form of anesthesia.
We use it every day.
We will monitor her every step of the way.
All right. We're in. Fine.
- Let's do it.
- Great.
Okay. Luis, let's get her set up
for conscious sedation, okay?
[Luis] Mm-hmm.
- Yeah, I know.
- It's okay, baby.
- [background chatter]
- [indistinct PA announcement]
[phone ringing]
Don't worry. I got my blood.
I'll be out of your hair in no time.
You're not bothering me.
[light music playing]
I know when I'm batting above my average.
Have you looked in a mirror lately?
[chuckles]
Any idea what my family would say
if I brought home a doctor?
[chuckles]
I'm talking cloth napkins
from my grandma's credenza.
Glasses actually made of glass?
[chuckles]
What? Did you think
I was fancy or something?
I mean…
[laughs]
What's going on there?
It's just a scrape. No big deal.
Mm-hmm.
Up.
"A scrape."
[sighs]
Yeah, I might need a stitch or two.
Okay.
- Come on.
- Yes, ma'am.
[crying]
It takes ten minutes to take effect,
then lasts another ten.
That'll give me plenty of time
to set her arm before the drugs wear off.
- I'll be right back.
- Wait, you're leaving?
There's nothing that can be done
until the drugs take effect.
I'll be back in ten minutes.
[light music playing]
- [woman] I'm busy.
- Well, you better be busy while disabled.
[toilet flushes]
- Hmm.
- Sorry.
[chuckling sigh]
Ugh!
Mm-hmm.
Danny, can you bring a self-cath kit
to the ER bathroom ASAP?
I forgot my pouch.
- [sighs]
- [music fades]
[grunts]
How long have you been a doctor?
It really feels like you're hooking a rug.
[scoffs softly] You're the one
who opted for no lidocaine, tough guy.
Yeah, well, would you wanna go on a date
with a guy that asks you
to numb him for five stitches?
Be honest.
You remind me of my dad.
Oh…
That was not what I was going for.
He's a firefighter.
Retired now, very charming guy.
Could talk to anybody.
Told my mom he was gonna marry her
the day they met, actually.
My parents, they met at a market.
[chuckles] Literally reaching
for the same mango.
I was hoping to meet someone
like the way they did.
What about you?
But, honestly,
my deal is that my personal life
stays out of my professional 100%.
Yeah, well. [clears throat]
I don't own a pair of scrubs.
[light music plays]
- And I'm retiring soon.
- [chuckles] Okay.
- Why are you laughing? I'm serious.
- Come on.
I'm gonna work with my brother.
He got this yacht chartering company
and it's growing superfast.
So, I thought I could help him out.
Wow.
Trading in your badge
for a bathing suit, huh?
Honestly, I've been wanting
to do it for a while now.
Sorry.
You're still here
for professional reasons.
Boundaries.
Okay.
I kind of wish
I opted for that lidocaine now.
Oh, shit.
[music fades out]
- Harper, hey, I have it.
- Thanks, but I don't have time now.
- Ugh. I'm sorry, I didn't see my phone.
- It's fine, it's not you.
I have this kid with parents
that are total dicks. I gotta go.
Thank you anyway.
She's coming around.
She's been fidgeting for three minutes.
That's just normal involuntary movement
under sedation.
I want to pull another doctor in on this.
I need to set your daughter's arm now,
otherwise the drugs will wear off.
- Then we'll have to start again.
- Are you a doctor?
Can you help us?
- Yeah.
- [woman] Our child has a broken arm.
And this doctor wants to reset it
though the ketamine has worn off.
[clears throat]
Well, she's sedated,
exactly where she's supposed to be
for the procedure
that Dr. Simms is about to perform.
I think she wants to help your daughter
in a reasonable amount of time.
- You might be standing in the way.
- [scoffs] Oh…
[woman] Stop.
Stop.
Please just set her arm.
Okay.
[soft cracking]
Strong pulses.
We'll need to get a post-reduction X-ray,
but I think we're all good here.
I'm… I'm sorry, I just need to say this.
We don't feel like
we were heard or respected.
And we went out of our way
to be respectful to you.
I'm sorry that you did not
have a good experience.
[soft music playing]

[Harper exhales]
- [music fades]

Yeah, she's fine.
[woman shouting in room]
What's going on?
Wife just got here.
[both shouting in Spanish]
It's better than Bravo.
[shouts] Terminado!
Not the Housewives.
Nothing beats Salt Lake City.
Danny, it's Christina in three.
She's been feeling short of breath.
We've been seeing a lot of ectopy.
Okay.
- Hi, I'm Ed Fonseca.
- [male staff] Dr. Simms?
Christina Fonseca's husband.
Uh, give me one second.
I'll be right back.
- [equipment beeping]
- [tense music playing]
[music intensifies]
Hey, Christina, stay with us, okay?
I need a crash cart now!
- Oh my God, baby!
- Sir, I need you to leave.
- What's going on? What's happening?
- She has bruising to her heart.
- Electrical signals aren't transmitting.
- Is she gonna die?
I know you're scared now,
but you need to let us do our job.
- I will update you as soon as we can.
- I need you to leave.
Let's pace her to 100.
- [beeping]
- [high-pitched ringing]
Stay with us, Christina, okay?
Shit. Pacer isn't capturing.
Give me the internal pacer kit.
[music turns dramatic]
Harper, hey, I need you.
- What?
- She's in complete heart block.
- Pacer isn't capturing.
- Are you gonna float a pacer wire?
No, you're gonna float a pacer wire.
- Come on!
- Okay.
[dramatic music continues]
- Set this over here.
- Okay.
- Tell me what you're doing.
- I am finding the internal jugular vein.
[heartbeat pulsing]
Good.
Good.
Okay.
Now, slowly, carefully,
guide this towards the heart.
Whoa.
- What did I--
- It's okay.
You went a bit too far. Come back.
Good.
There we go.
Okay.
Okay.
Now, we see.
[high-pitched ringing escalates]
[beeping]
[Danny] You did it.
- You got a capture.
- Wow.
- [Danny] Nice.
- [chuckling] Holy shit.
- Holy shit is right.
- [chuckles]
[bright music rises]
[chuckles quietly]
[music fades]
Harper just floated her first pacer wire.
That's great.
- Everything okay?
- Why?
I don't know.
Because you're barely talking to me.
[scoffs lightly]
Just taking my cues from you.
So what?
- You're pissed that Phillips is gone?
- I'm not pissed.
- Then you're pissed at me still.
- I'm not taking a position.
Oh.
Good, because when I said I needed you
to be there for me, that's what I meant.
- I'm allowed to have feelings about this.
- Can you tell me what your feelings are?
Please? For once?
[scoffing exhale]
I just think it's funny that you said
you don't date people that you work with.
What, that's what this is about?
You're…
hurt that I turned you down
when we were interns?
- Don't turn it like that, Danny.
- I'm sorry.
- You're the one who just brought it up.
- That was one kiss. And we were drunk.
I don't have a photo of you in my wallet.
I'm not pining after you, Danny.
We built a lot of trust
off of that moment.
And I'm hurt you didn't tell me
about Phillips. And you lied.
- I--
- No, you've just been lying.
I did not lie then.
And for the record, I turned him down too.
The difference being he could
take it out on my job, and he did.
And you, not knowing anything
about what happened,
decided to line up with him.
Why didn't you tell me you submitted
early for Chief Resident?
I didn't.
Phillips told me
you wrote that essay months ago.
I… wrote it.
I did not submit it until recently.
Why didn't you tell me
that you wanted to be Chief?
Because it didn't matter.
Because I wasn't gonna get it.
Or… because you didn't want me to think
that you were using Phillips to get it.
[brooding music plays]
[scoffs]
That's what you think?
I mean, what am I supposed to think?
You wanted to be Chief.
You slept with the Chief.
And now, you are the Chief.
[music turns grave]
Okay.
Good to know.
- [music fades]
- [distant chiming]
[indistinct chattering]
Dr. Chan.
[labored rasping breaths]
[exhales]
[flatline tone]
The right thing to do
would be to let her go.
Peacefully.
The daughter didn't give me a DNR.
She said do everything.
Let's get a crash cart in here.
[flatline tone continues]
Are we really gonna do this?
[Chan] We don't have a choice.
I am so sorry.
[somber music playing]
[bones cracking]
[wet crunching]
- Camila, you should just get out of here.
- What? No, no. I'm gonna help you.
- We're going to take turns.
- Trust me.
Just go.
[sorrowful music rising]
Pacer pad's in.
Let's get her intubated. Any pulses?
- Gabe, what's her rhythm?
- [Gabe] V-fib on monitor.
Okay, let's charge to 200.
All right, everybody clear.
- [thumping]
- [Chan] Resume compressions.
- Push one of epi.
- [Gabe] Pulse check?
[Chan] Any pulses? Who's up next?
[Gabe] Can I get another pulse check?
Pulses, anyone?
Charge to 200. Okay, everybody clear.
- [thumping]
- [Chan] All right, who's next?
Resume compressions.
Any pulses? Charge to 200.
Let's get a pulse check.
Okay, everybody clear.
Let's get a pulse check.
- [Chan panting softly]
- [flatline tone continues]
Anything?
[music fades]
Time of death…17:26.
[monitor clicks off]
[mournful music playing]
[Camila] Soph?
Her daughter's here.
[mournful music continues]
[Chan] Uh, Jane?
[muffled soundscape]
Hi, I'm Dr. Chan.
Can we have a moment?
I'm so sorry,
um, but your mother has died.
[sobbing]
[mournful music rises]
[Jane sobbing] I wasn't there.
I wasn't there.
- [sobbing continues]
- [music fades out]
- [indistinct chattering]
- [Danny] Okay, yeah. Thank you.
Ed?
Christina's awake.
She's been asking for you.

Christina?

Hey.
Sunshine face.

Hey, it's time to go home.
Do you want a ride?
Cole told me
that when you have a patient die,
you need to do two things
when you go out to talk to the family.
The first thing is you tell them
that their loved one has died.
[sorrowful music playing]
And then you have to tell them
that they didn't suffer.
[quietly] But she did.
[sniffles]
[tearfully] She did.
[mournful music rises]
[sobbing]
[music fades]
Yeah, I'll put in the orders,
just run an IV.
I'm on it.
What's that?
That cop, he got you that before he left.
He said it was a little thank-you.
Double espresso, extra foam.
How'd he know I like that?
I told him.
Mm! That's so good.
[Luis] Hallelujah!

And the ride-out crew is… out.
- [chuckles dryly] Yeah, that was us once.
- When we were young and beautiful.
I'm kind of sad to leave.

Hey. We're free.
Yeah.
You're really not coming

Not my jam.

What the hell are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
This is the women's restroom.
In the restaurant
where I'm having my meeting.
They have a killer pisco sour.
[Phillips] Yes, they do.
Tell me what you want
because I cannot focus out there.
Is that because
our unreported relationship
might affect your chances
of becoming an attending?
'Cause earlier you seemed
to think that this relationship, or…
whatever you want to call it,
could only hurt me.
[serious music playing]
Do you see what I'm saying?
Yeah.
I do.
I really do.
So…
I guess we're in this together, then.
Yes, we are.
I think we need some…
ground rules.
For how we're gonna navigate this.
Okay. I'm listening.
First of all, you can't look at me at work
the way you're looking at me right now.
Like how? Like this?
Yeah.
No touching.
So I can't touch you…
there?
No.
I can't kiss you here?

- Cheers.
- Hmm.
Where's Cass? Is she coming?
- Don't start.
- [laughs]
I hear you're taking her
to Soriano's club.
Where'd you hear that?
Same place I heard you've been
spending time with that paramedic.
She's my patient.
I love watching you
get yourself in trouble.
[laughs]
- Oh! Couldn't get enough of us, huh?
- More like I heard there was alcohol here.
Perfect timing. Cole here
was just about to buy the next round.
Come on, let's get a table.

Thank you.

- So what happens if you get fired?
- I open up a dive shop in Key West.
- Come on, seriously.
- Seriously, I don't know what I'll do.
- Are you waiting for someone?
- No.
Danny? Are you joking?
No, no, no. I'm not watching this.
- [sighs]
- Come on.
Look. There's two beautiful women
over there who've already decided
that you're funny and interesting. Now…
Should we go over and see how long it
takes them to realize how wrong they were?
I don't know, man. I think that's…
I think so. Come on.
[song continues]
Before you say anything, I'm not okay.
I am, like, the president
of all the broken dolls.
I have family stuff. I got out of a thing
with a guy at work that messed me up.
I knew it was bad. But I did what I do,
and tried to deal with it on my own
because I don't know how to talk
about anything, but I'm trying to talk…
about things, which is why I'm here,
talking to you right now.
But… believe me when I say
that I'm not looking for a relationship,
Because it's true, and I should have
a consumer warning label that says,
"Trust me,
you don't wanna deal with this."
Hey, Danny.
Yes?
It's just dancing.
[upbeat Spanish song continues]
[speaking indistinctly]
[laughing]
[giggling]
Okay. [laughs]
Are you okay?
- You know what? I'm sorry. I have to go.
- What's wrong?
Honestly, I have something
I need to tell my ex-girlfriend.
- What?
- I gotta go.
Where are you going?
