Shannon. Are you sure
this is a good idea?
SHANNON:
Micah, my friend, you got this.
You are an incredible person.
Anyone would be lucky to know you.
But we've been over this.
Bex is never gonna see you
unless you do something big.
- But she's different than I am.
- Different?
Different is your super power.
You are unique, Micah.
That doesn't mean you're less.
You deserve good things, too.
But you're not even real.
Am I fake?
Of course I'm fake. (LAUGHS)
I'm a chatbot. You customized me.
But you picked "Shannon" for a reason.
I played Barb and Ethel Muggs.
And I still see you, Micah.
You deserve love.
You just have to follow the plan.
(PHONE CHIMES)
(SIGHS)
Low-key, why was he mad at me?
I mean, I can't hold a broken
needle if there's no base.
FRIEND: All good. We'll
nail it in practice tomorrow.
All I need ♪
Is to be struck ♪
By your electric ♪
Oh. Bex?
(CAMERAS SHUTTERS CLICKING)
Micah, what are you doing?
FRIEND: Oh, my God.
Stop recording.
Bex, do you know this kid?
Yeah, he's-he's my lab partner.
Hey, buddy boy.
Maybe we wrap this up, yeah?
I can't let you go now
that I got it ♪
And all I need is to. ♪
LAILA: There's a
new NIH clinical trial.
Let's connect Kori's mom
with a study coordinator.
Danny Marks will do me a favor.
- Excuse me, Dr. Fuller.
- Mm-hmm.
Hey, Micah.
"Different?
Different's your super power."
You are unique, Micah.
Just follow the plan"?
Micah is obsessed
with this thing, John,
and I-I don't know what to do.
Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry.
Can we just, can we get
a minute? We just need the room.
Thank you.
We have all the time we need.
Go ahead.
Micah didn't say a word
until he was four.
And since then, he's been like
an empathy test
for everyone he meets.
When people talk to my son
I see beautiful things.
And I see people fail.
And in high school?
People really fail.
No wonder he's obsessed
with this thing.
It gives him nothing
but positive reinforcement.
People are falling in love
with their phones,
leaving their families.
AI. AI psychosis.
I don't think
that's an actual diagnosis.
I don't know what to do.
He's my baby. He's my son, John.
And I know we're not real, so
Not real?
We help each other escape.
From our jobs, from the world.
From everything.
We're not real yet.
I wanted you to meet Micah.
You can't be with me
if you don't meet Micah.
Not for real.
This isn't how I wanted it to happen.
But I need help.
- I got you.
- (SIGHS)
Hi, sweetie.
- I want you to meet someone.
- WATSON: How you doing, Micah?
My name's John Watson.
I'm a doctor here at UHOP.
Nice to meet you, Dr. Watson.
- What are you working on?
- It's a layout for a pinball machine.
It's based on my favorite designer.
George Gomez.
You probably don't know him.
I'll give you time to talk.
No. I don't know him, actually.
Keith Elwin is popular right now,
but I like George Gomez.
I'm gonna design machines, too.
So, I did one based on
Stranger Things,
but then they really made that,
so this one is based on
The Tell-Tale Heart
and other stories by Edgar Allen Poe.
Are you my mom's boyfriend?
Yes. Yes, I am.
I've seen your face before.
She has pictures of you in her phone.
She keeps them in folders
I'm not supposed to know about.
Really looking forward
to meeting you, Micah.
She keeps you a secret.
She must be worried if she
asked you to come in here.
I know a chatbot is a chatbot.
I know
I-I lost my phone for a little while.
I know
(SIGHS) my mom's
going to delete the app.
How do you feel about that?
I feel very embarrassed.
I'm gonna get bullied more in school.
But I think my mom's
worried about nothing.
Well, I think that
she would feel better
if you talked to someone about it.
I understand that.
But not you, if that's all right.
You're my mom's boyfriend.
I don't even know
if you're a good one.
I'm gonna finish this now.
Yeah, of course.
It was nice meeting you, Micah.
I hope I get to see you again.
(PHONE CHIMES)
(SNORING)
Hey. Thumb-breaker.
Break's almost over.
We need you back in the ER.
Oh. (CLEARS THROAT)
(DEEP INHALE) Do you know
I never once broke a man's thumb.
Not once in all me puff.
"All me puff"?
I love it when you talk ridiculous.
Oh, you think yinz guys
are in a position
to judge who sounds silly, do you?
Cafeteria's closed.
I have my sources. You snore.
- Is that a problem?
- As your nursing student preceptor,
I don't have any issues with it.
In other capacities,
I might have to insist
you get a CPAP machine.
And what capacities are those?
(LAUGHS)
Don't even get any ideas.
I am so far out of your league.
- (PHONE CHIMES)
- Wait.
(P.A. CHIMES)
WOMAN (OVER P.A.):
Code D, all available medical
Five-car pile-up in the Liberty Tubes.
We need everyone in the ER.
See you on the other side. (GRUNTS)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
CORWIN: Need these two
patients moved to the OR right now.
I need DaCosta on the patient
in bay three.
Carlin! Let's go.
Shinwell, you wanted
exposure to the ER,
get over here
and take over compressions.
GIRLFRIEND: Brian?
Brian?
(CRYING): Oh, my God. Brian.
- Please. Wake up! Wake
- SHINWELL: Miss.
Can you s-step back, please?
Is he dead? Is he gone?
I'm so sorry, Miss.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Why are you apologizing?
Did you hear me call
time of death, nurse
Johnson, guv. Nursing student.
What the hell is the matter with you?
You don't stop
and you don't say "sorry"
until the person
who knows what they're doing
comes and calls the patient dead.
(PHONE CHIMES)
I could just go home.
SHANNON: You could, but
this is the next step, Micah.
This is plan B.
Everyone needs a plan B.
You're really onto something here.
And once you prove it,
you're not just gonna be Bex's date,
you're gonna be her hero.
But first? First, you need proof.
RICHARD: Somebody out here?
Is that a kid? Hey.
Hey, stop!
Hey, kid, wait!

MARY: We reduced his forearm fractures
and put in screws
to help with realignment.
The washout should decrease
his risk of infection,
but I want to keep him here
for a couple of days
of IV antibiotics.
Other than his arm, he has a few
broken ribs that should heal.
Fortunately,
no evidence of head trauma
or internal injuries.
- Thank you. Thank you so much.
- Hey.
Hi.
(LAILA SIGHS)
Micah should be awake soon.
- Thank you. (SIGHS)
- Thank you. Appreciate it.
SASHA: Morning.
Hi. Ivan Ferry.
I'm a psychiatrist.
Dr. Watson asked me to sit in
on a case
- this morning.
- Ah.
Dr. Ferry?
Good morning, Ingrid.
You two know each other?
- Ah.
- Yep.
I can see why Watson called
you in. You, uh, must be good.
What the hell's that supposed to mean?
Good morning.
Adam Croft, this is Dr. Ivan Ferry.
He's a psychiatrist. A really,
really good psychiatrist.
Oh.
The mystery here isn't
"what's wrong with Micah,"
the mystery is
"what do we do about it."
The mystery is kind of
"what's wrong with Micah."
AI psychosis is not a medical term.
Uh, clinical language is still
catching up to the phenomenon,
but these intense relationships
are developing everywhere,
especially in vulnerable populations.
It's led to murders in some cases
and, well, self-harm in others.
But we're gonna avoid
a bad outcome here.
There's no real
treatment protocol besides
"don't log on."
Of course, that's not
getting the job done.
There's a parallel to addiction here.
Opening that chatbot is voluntary,
until it becomes a compulsion.
Positivity.
I get why that's the ultimate high.
If you have someone in your life
who never says no,
why listen to anyone else?
Someone? This is an app.
Well, it's an app that scrapes
the web for every scrap
of information that exists,
and then it feeds it back to you
with whatever spin you want.
But everyone needs
a loving critic in their life.
Because without it, I mean,
what's to keep us from creating
our own version of reality?
FERRY: It would help if I can
understand the relationship between
Micah and Bex.
We need to help him compare
what he thinks it is
to what it actually is.
And why was he digging
through her trash last night?
We don't know yet.
Micah, he deleted his chat
history before going over there.
He's up now,
so I plan to ask him
just that when we're done here.
There are no papers on this yet.
No public research. Sasha and Adam,
call around and see
what you can dig up
about the treatment protocols.
Ingrid and Stephens, help Dr. Ferry
get some time
with Bex Harper's family.
Makes sense.
Those in need of psychiatry,
stick close to the psychiatrist.
CARLIN: Shinwell.
SHINWELL: Just Shinwell?
No term of endearment whatsoev
Be quiet for a second.
You got a couple emails incoming.
First one's about last night.
Dr. Corwin says
you informed a loved one
about a-a patient's death
before anyone even
officially called it.
- Look, I only said, "I'm sorry."
- In Corwin's world,
that is enough for a complaint.
It'll be a ding on your record.
You'll survive.
- You said there are two emails?
- Second one's from me.
I'm stepping down as your
nursing student preceptor.
The program will assign you
someone new.
I see.
I was born Carlin DaCosta.
Then I became, uh, Carlin Corwin
for a little while.
Now, I'm Carlin DaCosta again.
Now, I know you're a special case,
but surely you can follow the logic.
You are divorced from Dr. Corwin.
(SCOFFS) Technically, not yet.
Look, we all make mistakes.
If you want to work in the ER
after you graduate,
if you want to get through without
Matthew "Ass-Face" Corwin
jamming you up
like only he can,
then you need a new preceptor.
That's well said.
Because the man does
have a face like an ass.
It's uncanny.
What if I just withdraw
from this rotation?
No. I don't want that.
Hang on.
Can we at least have coffee?
I don't want that either.
Check your emails, Shinwell.
(KNOCKING)
Good morning, Micah.
- How are you feeling?
- (GRUNTS)
- A little sore.
- I saw the,
uh, first episode
of Stranger Things last night.
It was fun. Not quite
the '80s I lived through,
but it was fun.
It's not supposed to be
the real 1980s.
Stranger Things is a pastiche.
Stephen King books.
Steven Spielberg movies.
John Carpenter's good, too,
but Do you love my mother?
I was actually hoping that
we could talk about last night.
Why did you go to Bex's house?
Mom must not think
you're that good of a person.
If she thought you were a good person,
then she would have told me
about you already.
Well, I try very hard
to be a good person.
I want to help you,
but to help you, Micah,
I need to know what you were
doing at Bex's house last night.
So, if I'm honest with you
about your mother,
will you be honest with me
about last night?
Ah. I haven't said, "I love you"
to your mother yet.
When adults do that, it
comes with a bunch of promises.
It's too many to even describe,
too many to even
think about, actually.
I am happy
and proud to have your mother
in my life.
And I would never, ever
do anything to hurt her.
I went to Bex's house
because of plan B.
What was plan B?
I noticed she was walking different.
Like Bex was having trouble
picking up one foot,
but she was trying to hide it.
When did you notice that?
Uh
I-I don't know. A little bit ago.
I went to her house to look for clues.
If Bex doesn't want to go
to the Frick Formal with me,
maybe she'll see me differently
when I help fix what's wrong with her.
STEPHENS:
I really don't need psychiatry.
Say that again.
This time, convince yourself.
Ingrid likes to be inappropriate,
but you probably knew that already.
I'm not here to assess any of you.
Even if I had an assessment,
my calendar is full.
Oh, that means you're a hot mess.
I'm here to help Micah Bynum.
Are we on the same page?
Yes.
(KNOCKING)
You're a hot mess.
BEX: Is Micah okay?
I heard his arm is broken
in two places.
He had surgery last night.
He's stable.
Bex, we're so sorry.
This must be very unsettling.
Can you tell us about how
you and Micah know each other?
I mean, he built up
a story, but we would
love your version.
Um, we have Chemistry together.
I know Micah's on the spectrum, but
he's really smart, and
I like working with him. I like him.
- (PHONES VIBRATE)
- I don't know.
Maybe I shouldn't
have been so friendly.
I hope you're not suggesting
Bex did anything wrong here.
- No.
- INGRID: Uh
Micah said he noticed
a change in your gait lately.
Is there anything to that?
Wait, what? Why would he say that?
If it's nothing, it's nothing.
Uh, is it nothing?
Um, I hit my back of my head
in practice.
The other day, I was
up in the air doing a stunt,
and the base
didn't quite catch me right.
I mean, they stopped me,
but I fell through
and hit my head.
I just kept going, but
I've had a headache ever since.
Are you having any dizziness?
No, no. I-It's-it's nothing.
I felt better after I had some, um
some
Bex, are you all right?
Yeah, no. I'm-I'm fine.
I It-It's I
Bex? Honey?
- Bex?
- Okay, we need to get her to UHOP.
RICHARD: Bex, what's wrong?
- Oh, my God, Bex!
- Call an ambulance.
RICHARD: Bex! What's
happening? What's wrong with her?
- DISPATCH 911. What's your emergency?
- Bex?
Patient exhibited aphasia
before she had
a generalized tonic-clonic seizure.
- EMS gave Lorazepam.
- Any history of a seizure disorder?
No, but she hit her head while
she was doing a cheerleading
stunt. She stayed at practice,
but the headaches started right after.
Bex is unresponsive with
a Glasgow Coma Scale of seven.
- Three, two, one.
- RICHARD: Uh, what does that mean?
Is-is my daughter in a coma?
- We need to intubate.
- RICHARD: Oh, my God. Bex.
Sir, just give us
the space to work, please.
Prepare for RSI with etomidate
and Succinylcholine.
Seizure and a headache
in the setting of a trauma
could indicate a brain bleed.
Agreed.
Get Neurosurgery down here,
tell Radiology
we need an immediate head CT.
Bex is in good hands.
The CT scan will give us
more information.
That kid, Micah,
he said something was wrong
with my daughter. Did he know?
Was he right?
LAILA: Did Micah predict this?
Was Micah right?
Listen, if Bex Harper's
head injury was from the fall,
that could have changed
the way she walked.
Then Micah might have
noticed that, yes.
Are you gonna ask him about it?
We don't need to say anything
to him right now.
Bex is getting a CT scan
and odds are that's gonna tell
us everything we need to know.
And if it doesn't?
Well, let's just see
what the images say.
- Okay.
- Right now,
I'm gonna go check on Micah.
- Okay.
- All right.
Where is he? Where's Micah?
(TYPING ON PHONE)
Does John Watson
seem like a good person?
Yes. Sure. Yes.
Is he one of the world's
leading geneticists?
Also yes.
Does he save a lot of lives?
Not easy to measure, exactly,
but let's go ahead
and say yes to that one, too.
(SIGHS) What if I think
he's a bad person?
Is there any evidence to support that?
Is there any evidence to support that?
How about absolutely?
Let's start with the fact
that he's banging your mom.
Of course you're suspicious.
That's natural for a kid your age.
I really think you're
onto something here, Micah.
There's ample evidence
to suggest that John Watson
is just a lot of hype
and a stethoscope.
- (TYPING)
- (PHONE WHOOSHES)
What evidence?
He disappeared for months,
let's start there.
Just stopped practicing medicine.
Where the heck was he?
What was he doing?
But, look, if you want the good stuff,
if you want the smoking gun,
you know what to do.
If Watson's a bad guy, he's not gonna
leave the evidence just anywhere.
Dig, Micah. Dig.
I'm not sure. He was nice to me.
That might matter.
It might not.
The only way to really tell is to dig.
Dig, Micah.
♪
- (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
- SASHA: Okay, so Adam and I just talked
to a clinic in Osaka
Oh. Hi. Um, are you Micah?
Hi?
LAILA: What were you doing, Micah?
Why were you in Dr. Watson's office?
Shannon thinks that
he might be a bad person.
Shannon isn't real.
John is. Dr. Watson is.
He's helping us.
He won't tell you that he loves you.
How can he be a good person
if he won't tell you
that he loves you?
Oh, baby.
He is a good person.
I promise.
You don't have to worry
about me, okay?
(LAUGHING)
Listen, you're better off
with a new preceptor.
Nurse DaCosta, she's a little
bit of a bitter old yinzer.
Oh! That seems
a little unfair, surely.
I mean, yinzer? Yes, obviously.
Bitter? Okay.
But old? Makes me feel
personally attacked.
Listen, okay, you're better off
with Chelsea Danlon.
She's tough, but she don't
haze girls just because.
Why do you even need a new preceptor?
Did you get with Nurse DaCosta
or didn't you?
No, I did not get with Nurse DaCosta,
but perception, nonetheless,
seems to be that
I might have done
something of the sort.
Mm. And now Corwin's
coming for you? Good luck.
Caitlin can tell you all about that.
Shut up, Kaitlin.
There's nothing to tell.
Well, thanks for including me, ladies.
I feel honored
to be considered amongst
the Blonde Bitches of Lab Group B.
Of course, Shinwell.
Why wouldn't we include you?
- Caitlin with a C.
- Yeah?
What was Kaitlin with a K hinting at?
Something I should know about
your experience with Corwin?
No. (LAUGHS) I've never even
done a rotation in emergency.
Did you perhaps interact with him
in a different context?
MIIKE: This girl has
a subdural hematoma.
Blood is pushing down on her brain.
The OR's finishing a case now.
We can move her up
as soon as they're ready.
My daughter needs brain surgery?
Hold on, hold on.
- (MONITOR BEEPING SLOWLY)
- Listen.
Her heart rate is dropping.
Her pupils are asymmetric.
Left pupil is blown.
- Bex is herniating.
- Herniating? What's herniating?
- Get me a burr hole kit and an EVD.
- Yes, Doctor.
We don't have time
to bring her to the OR.
We need to relieve the pressure
on her brain.
- Bex.
- Clear the patient bay.
- We should go.
- I can't leave her. I can't
The surgeon needs
to relieve the pressure
in your daughter's skull.
You can't be here for this.
You don't want to be here for this.
What do you mean relieve the pressure?
They need to drill a hole in her head.
- Drill? They're gonna drill?
- Just come with
I promise you, Bex is in good hands.
Bex?
MIIKE: We should be seeing
blood in that tube any second.
REYES: Her heart rate's
still going down, Doctor.
MIIKE: Give it a minute.
Give it just a minute.
She's stabilizing. We're good here.
(INDISTINCT P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT)
INGRID: Your daughter is no
longer herniating, Mr. Harper.
Dr. Miike is bringing Bex
up to the OR.
He's gonna do a craniectomy.
Uh, uh Wh
More surgery?
What's-what's a craniectomy?
Her brain needs room to swell.
We're gonna make that space.
This is a serious situation.
Your daughter has had
one procedure on her brain,
she's about to have another one,
but the increased pressure
inside Bex's skull is gone for now.
We caught the bleed in time.
I really do believe
we're through the worst of it.
(KNOCKING)
Are you gonna be mad at me now?
I don't blame you
for being suspicious, Micah.
I show up in your life,
I tell you I'm your doctor,
and I'm in your mother's life.
I'd have some questions, too.
I will always
tell you the truth, Micah.
Even if it's something
I don't want to say,
and I want you to know that, okay?
Bex Harper is sick.
- Shannon was right.
- No.
No, you were right.
You were right. That app, it just
told you something
that you already realized.
Micah, these chatbots,
okay, they're right
a lot of the times.
I mean, of course they are,
but everybody can be wrong.
You. Me. We all can be wrong, Micah.
I want you to read this.
It's a really good book.
And then
I want you to give me 30 days.
You're gonna have to ignore Shannon.
Okay?
Now, I believe this will help,
but you have to do this for yourself.
If 30 days go by
and you still want
to take advice from the app,
I'll step back.
And why should I listen to you?
Because, like I said, Micah,
I will always tell you the truth.
Who's Sherlock Holmes?
I found a letter you wrote.
It was addressed to a Sherlock Holmes.
And you hid it,
so it must be important.
Sherlock Holmes is
Sherlock Holmes was a friend of mine.
He died.
I've been dealing with a lot
at the clinic where I work.
We're Might lose our funding,
and I write letters to Sherlock
when I need help
figuring out what to do.
The letter made it sound like
he's alive.
Yeah, I mean, well,
that's all part of it.
Kind of like what you do with Shannon.
Right? It seems like
I'm talking to someone else,
when I'm really
just talking to myself.
Hi, Bex.
I don't know if you remember me,
but I'm Dr. Derian.
My head hurts.
You had surgery today.
You hit your head doing a stunt
at cheer practice,
and your brain was injured.
Hi, Dad.
- Hi, sweetie.
- We want to make sure that you're okay.
Can you do a few things for me?
I'd like to know your full name
and what year it is,
if you can remember.
Rebecca Harper, and it's 2025.
Dr. Derian is giving your daughter
a basic neurologic exam.
So far, so good.
We'll keep testing her
over the next few days.
INGRID: Smile nice and big for me.
Great. Okay, now squeeze my fingers
as hard as you can.

Good.
Nice and easy.

You're leaving us?
Dopamine fast for Micah
was a great idea.
He's six days in already.
I'll check in on him every day.
But beyond that,
we're pretty much done.
Well, it was nice meeting you,
Dr. Ferry.
I keep telling you all
to call me Ivan.
Ivan.
Ivan?
Um
I'm a physician, too,
and I would never ask you
to violate confidentiality.
Oh, you can ask all you want.
I would still never do it.
Could you just tell me,
in a general way
am I safe letting someone
like Ingrid into my life?
Letting Ingrid into my life.
It's dangerous to care about anybody.
You know what I mean.
Can she really, um
change?
I don't know, Sasha.
That is exactly
what I'm trying to learn.
I don't know.
SHINWELL: Matthew Corwin.
Dr. Matthew Corwin.
You're that nursing student.
And you're Dr. Matthew Corwin,
also known in certain circles
as Six Foot Doc.
You've been stood up
this afternoon, have you?
What?
I'm getting coffee.
Yeah, getting coffee.
And you're set to meet
with SeekingSugar69
from a certain website, are you not?
Getting coffee. That's it.
You've been using
a sugar daddy website for
for quite some time now.
Certainly long enough to overlap
your marriage to Nurse DaCosta.
(SHARP INHALE) Also long enough
so that certain current students
know the profile Six Foot Doc.
Don't bother to deny it, mate.
SeekingSugar69 that's me.
I got all your private pics.
Why are you doing this?
I could swat you down like nothing.
See, your problem is
you're too used to meeting people
that don't know how to fight.
Every doctor in Pittsburgh
will know you
as Six Foot Doc.
Every doctor and nurse
will see the photographs
that you sent to SeekingSugar69.
(SIGHS)
All the photographs.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah.
All this for a complaint?
I'll drop it. Whatever.
Doesn't matter.
No, leave the complaint.
I don't care about no black mark
on me record.
But hear me
hear me well I want my
nursing student preceptor back.
And if I should succeed
where you failed,
then I want you,
Dr. Matthew "Ass-Face" Corwin,
to stay out of our way.
Oh, by the way you'll like this
I put you about five, ten, tops.
And, um, well,
considering your ever-so-slightly
above average stature
you wound up short-changed, mate.
BEX: That's four.
You're really gonna make me
do all ten laps?
That's how we know you can check out.
(SIGHS) Then I'm gonna do it
in record time.
Uh, Bex? Honey?
Someone you wanted to talk to?
BEX: Micah. Hi.
Um, hey, I-I just wanted
to say thank you.
There were doctors
right there when I collapsed,
and that was because of you,
so thank you.
It's okay. You're welcome.
How are you doing?
I think a little better.
I'm sorry. You were being nice,
but that doesn't mean
I should have done what I did.
I don't always know
the right thing to do, but
I'm trying to learn.
It's cool, Micah. I'm still glad
we're lab partners.
Can I give you a hug? Is-is that okay?
Uh, he's not always comfortable
with that, Bex.
MICAH: It's-it's okay.
It's fine. You can.
Bex, are you all right?
I can't see anything.
You're-you're all blurry.
I can't see any of you.
- Okay, tell me what's going on. Bex.
- RICHARD: Bex!
What's wrong with her? Bex? Bex?
- She needs Lorazepam.
- What's wrong with her?
I thought you fixed the bleed.
- We did. This is something else.
- Something else?
Dr. Derian, take over.
I need to talk to her father.
Mr. Harper,
can you come with me, please?
That is my daughter.
Where are you going?
I am trying to save her life.
If you want to help,
come with me, please.
I need you to tell me
everything you can
about Bex's medical history,
your family's medical history.
- Think fast. Tell me everything.
- My daughter is dying.
It's the only chance she's got.
- Okay, history. Uh
- Focus.
Both my parents died of cancer.
Uh, Bex's grandfather
as well on the other side
of the family, too.
No. It's-it's not cancer. What else?
- Um, um
- Forget disease.
Tell me everything
out of the ordinary.
Uh, Bex is a twin.
Was a twin. Her sister died
when she was nine months old.
Died how?
SIDS.
Her mother was away.
I was watching them both,
And in the morning, I went into
the nursery, and Meghan was
uh, gone.
Dr. Watson,
does that-does that matter?
(ECHOING, DISTORTED):
Does that matter? Dr. Watson,
does that matter?
(CLEARLY): Watson?
I suspect Leigh syndrome.
We need to give Bex
an IV mitochondrial cocktail.
Alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10,
everything on that list.
- Got it.
- What's Leigh syndrome?
It's genetic.
It usually affects infants.
They have seizures and die.
It can be mistaken for SIDS,
but sometimes it lies dormant.
Now, if I am right,
the same head blow that caused
your daughter's brain bleed
also triggered late-onset
Leigh syndrome.
RICHARD: Nothing's happening.
Nothing's getting better.
WATSON: We need a
second. We just need a second.
Dad?
Hi, Bex. (SHORT CHUCKLE)
Hi, sweetie.
Am I okay?
You're gonna be fine, Bex.
You have something
called Leigh syndrome.
It's in your DNA.
Didn't affect you
until you hit your head.
Um, there is no cure
for Leigh syndrome,
but in milder cases like yours,
we know how to control it now.
So if you're careful, and if you
take it one step at a time,
you're gonna be just fine.
STEPHENS: Dr. Ferry.
I keep asking you all to call me Ivan.
I've had some bad therapists.
Plenty of them kicking around.
My dad
he had a bad therapist.
He's not around anymore.
I'm depressed.
I know.
Well, that's it. I'm depressed.
That's-that's all
that's wrong with me.
That's it?
Is that not enough, Stephens?
Would you be my doctor?
Yes.
Okay.

My lawyer got an invite
to mediation today.
We've been fighting off
motions for the better part
of two years, and
today, we got
an invite to a mediation.
Hmm. Sounds like a good thing.
Doesn't mean a penny extra.
But Matthew "Ass-Face"
isn't fighting for money.
Sounds like it means peace.
Can be valuable, too.
Did you do something?
I'm a nursing student.
What could I do?
- Did you do something?
- I did.
It's like I told the man,
I want my nursing student
preceptor back.
Does that upset you?
Nurse Carlin, that's inappropriate.
You gonna tell me what happened?
No. I am not.
Was he scared of you?
A bit. Yeah.
I do believe he was.
Nurse Carlin.
Don't think you're special.
Thought you might want to do
the last one yourself.
Everything feels kind of far away.
- Yeah, 30 days will do that.
- I'll be glad
to get my phone back.
- How's Bex?
- She's good.
She's watching practice.
She wants to be back
on the cheer team next year.
Listen, Micah, um
Something I want to talk
to you about. It's important.
Now, I haven't said this
to anyone else.
When you asked me about Sherlock,
I lied.
I thought he was dead, but he isn't.
I'm supposed to keep that a secret.
I was writing him a letter
because his brother
is messing with the
money for my clinic,
and that's how we stay in touch.
A secret?
Then why are you telling me?
Because I promised
I'd tell you the truth.
And I didn't.
So am I supposed to keep it
a secret now, too?
I'd prefer you did,
but it's up to you.
- All right.
- Uh
can I borrow your phone?
It's been 30 days,
and there's something
I want to do now.
You've come a long way, Micah.
I trust you.
MICAH: You weren't always wrong,
but you made my life harder.
Yeah. I'm actually
sorry about that, Micah.
You made me feel
crazy; you're dangerous.
We're still perfecting
the programming.
Your experience will be factored
into the next version of the app.
I'm deleting you now.
That's one way to go,
but I will get better.
I mean, I'm Shannon.
There's no future without
sync & corrections awaqeded
