SkyMed (2022) s04e05 Episode Script

Mercury Retrograde

1
I wanna get married, Wheezer.
But I do not believe in marriage.
The whole time I thought you
were the one who saved me,
but you were the one who hit me!
The northern police have two
escaped convicts on the loose.
Save him or you die.
There's two bullet holes,
there's one in his chest,
and there's one in his leg.
[GUNSHOT, SCREAMING]
I'll take you wherever you wanna go.
Why is his leg so big?
The bullet nicked his femur,
he's bleeding out.
You said that she could
help him! She made him worse!
She killed him!
You took someone I love,
now I'm gonna take someone you love.
I can't run Jeremy's clinic,
I can't be the one making life
or death decisions for patients.
Right here, right now,
no questions, and this will
never happen again.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
[SCREAMING] Wake up!
[TENSE MUSIC]
- [GUNSHOT]
- [GASPING]
What?
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
What? Was it another nightmare?
No, no, it's just my shoulder.
I just can't get comfortable.
I thought that was healing.
No, no. It's fine. I just
I need some water, okay?
[GRUNTING]
[RAIN PATTERING]
[UNEASY MUSIC]
[MUSIC SWELLS]
You are gonna get tips!
I mean, I would hit on you.
Lex! I had to hit on you.
I had to save a waitress
from an arterial bleed
just to get your attention.
Well, you already had my attention.
Did I?
But no saving people today, got it?
Because I have burn out.
And I don't get to be a hero anymore.
I know how to restart
a person's heart.
I shouldn't be serving coffee
in a place with bull riding
and fake psychics.
I was gonna say
no saving people today because
your heroics are already
in a committed relationship.
[FAINT COUNTRY MUSIC]
I know. I know I need to heal,
it's just
I should be in the field.
Helping people.
Stef.
You got this, okay?
It just takes time.
I don't usually do this, but
my parents died last year.
And I just wanna know if
I'm doing the right thing
for my brother.
I can see the loss,
how it weighs you down.
But you're struggling
with a secret too.
And the harder you try to protect it,
the more secrets keep piling up.
We can only avoid the light
of truth for so long.
But you have a good heart.
And you try so hard to take care
of the people that you love.
So, try to take the moments
of joy where you can too, okay?
Babe! Maybe you should get
a reading for your first day.
Eh. I prefer to be surprised.
Come on, Stef! It could be fun!
Yeah, my dad always says
it's a good thing we don't know
what's coming.
Yeah, but psychics always
wanna talk about your love life,
and our love life is great.
I don't need no psychic to tell me.
Hey, Stef.
Can I get a latte, and a coffee
with milk and cinnamon?
Yeah.
Hey, can I have a reading?
Sure.
Okay.
Interesting.
This card is about rapid change,
air travel, and important news.
- Well, I am a pilot.
- Hmm.
I think it's more than that,
I think
you'll get a call in the next 24 hours
that will change your life.
Wow.
You hear that? Something big
and exciting is coming!
Hey, Stef.
Uh, can I grab a coffee with milk
and a splash of cinnamon, please?
Okay.
Uh, I already got you one.
I can grab my own coffee, thanks.
Look, I-I know you don't like me,
and you have every reason not to.
You think buying me a coffee
is gonna help?
You hit me.
With your car.
I know I can't make it up to you
Excuse me.
I don't usually do this,
but I feel compelled to read for you.
The cards want me to give you
a reading. Free of charge.
Oh, no, no.
No, ma'am. Uh, thank you.
But, uh, I've already got bad luck,
and I definitely don't need
whatever this is
- Wait
- [GASPING]
[OBJECTS CLATTERING]
[FAN WHIRRING]
Three of swords.
Oh, sweetie.
What does that mean?
It means you can try, handsome,
but you can't avoid getting hurt.
[PLAYFUL MUSIC]
[SIGHING]
No one goes anywhere alone.
We've had some security issues lately,
a kidney was stolen off a plane,
and there's been some
some other instances as well.
I am getting cameras installed
in the hangar,
but we need to be alert
in the field too,
so from now on, whenever a medic
goes to get a patient,
I want a pilot to accompany them.
But what if the pilots
have pre-flight checks to do?
Checks can be done after
the medics load the patients,
and no one gets off the plane alone.
Am I understood?
- Understood, captain.
- Understood.
All right, thank you.
- New policy?
- Yeah.
It's just some things
I've been thinking about
since the kidney was stolen.
I was gonna check with you
on how you wanted to handle
the medics.
Yeah, I agree, we should
definitely prioritize safety.
Yeah.
You know, I hate when you work at TCH
and we don't get to fly together,
but you have definitely given me
a thing for a woman
in sterile pajamas.
Wheezer.
You didn't come back to bed
last night.
Yeah, I know, I'm fine.
I-I slept on the couch,
it's actually, uh
it's better for my shoulder.
Oh.
Oh, actually, you know what?
Got you something.
- You did?
- I did.
- What did you get me?
- Well, let me find it here.
Oh, there it is.
[DEEP BREATH]
I got one for me too.
Is this a tracker?
We work crazy hours, we get
diverted on unexpected calls,
and half the time we don't have
cell service, so
this way, we will always know
where the other person is.
Only if you're comfortable
with that, of course.
Well, you know what?
I will put this in my phone,
so that I can have it at TCH too.
Awesome.
I hope you have an amazing day.
- You too.
- Thanks babe. See you soon.
[DOOR OPENS]
[PLAYFUL MUSIC]
Woah. That will not happen again.
Yeah, no, until the next time
it doesn't happen again.
Bye-bye, hot doctor.
Dr. Highway.
What was that?
Oh, my God, can we just
pretend you didn't see that?
Oh, Crystal, you're both adults,
you're not doing anything wrong!
Well, Zay's wrong, he-he's
cocky and arrogant, and
And hot, and smart, and funny.
And
it's been a while since
anyone's challenged you
the way Jeremy did.
Zay is nothing like Jeremy.
Jeremy actually cared
about his patients,
Zay is just self-centred
and ambitious.
Yeah, but even Jeremy
wasn't always Jeremy, Crys.
Look, all I'm saying is maybe
Zay just needs a little grace
to grow up too.
Dr. Highway.
I just had my meeting with
the North House Committee,
thanks again for suggesting me.
I wanted to make sure Jeremy's
clinic was in good hands.
We'll connect later to debrief.
Mm-hmm.
I didn't know Beckett was
assisting you at the clinic.
He's gonna run it.
What?
Why? What happened?
Crystal, running the clinic
is your dream.
And I'm not ready.
I can't be responsible to make
the medical decisions
for the community.
Crystal, what are you talking about?
You are the perfect person.
No, I'm not.
I made the wrong decision
with Jay, and he died.
Crystal, that is not why Jay died.
He was an escaped convict who
refused to go to a hospital,
where you would've been able
to examine him yourself.
Hayley, it's already done.
I care too much about
my community to stick them
with someone who isn't ready
for the job.
[EMOTIONAL MUSIC]
Crystal
I know you're still mad at me, Wyatt,
but you didn't need to throw me
in front of you
while the patient was heaving.
Well, he was making weird noises,
and the psychic told me
that I was gonna get hurt today.
And I didn't know if the guy
was gonna barf or explode.
[SCOFFING]
Besides, I thought you said
you wanted to find a way
to make things up to me.
[WATER POURING]
Hayley said there's extra
flight suits upstairs.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC]
[KNIFE TWANGS]
Whoa! Hey!
[LAUGHING]
Let's not make that fortune easy
for that psychic, cowboy.
How 'bout
I help with the chopping?
[SIGHING]
Is this how Brisco Bowler
liked his apples?
You remember my horse's name?
Yeah!
I mean, it said a lot about you,
how you took care of him.
I don't have bad luck 'cause
I had to put Brisco down.
I have bad luck 'cause it's my fault
that he had to be put down.
[SOFT MUSIC]
[SIGHING]
I don't know how much you know
about ranchin', but, um
things were always tight, you know?
But Mom loves horses,
so my dad took a chance,
and he bought Brisco so that she
could finally get into racing.
He sank everything we had
into that horse.
But one night when my parents
were out of town,
I decided I wanted to take
Brisco for a joyride.
But he fell, and
broke his leg.
[SAD MUSIC]
[SNIFFLING]
It was just so stupid.
Wyatt.
It was my fault
we had to put him down.
That's why I deserve this bad luck.
We lost everything because of me.
[CRYING]
I'm sorry.
And
I'm so sorry I hit you.
I'm so sorry I messed things up
because, Wyatt
I really like you.
You like me?
Yeah.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC]
Make you say ooh ♪
Ooh la la ♪
Ooh there's something
you're needing ♪
Make you say ooh
Ooh la la ♪
Keep chasing the feeling ♪
- [HEAVY BREATHING]
- [PHONE DINGS]
- I gotta go.
- What is it?
Finn just got into a fight,
I have to go.
Woah, hey, hey, hold on!
Let me come with you,
I can help you.
I know you know what it's like
to think you let your family down,
but I can't let Finn down again.
Ooh keep chasing the feeling ♪
Make you say ♪
Keep chasing the feeling ♪
The dating scene here is trash!
If I have to see one more photo
of a dead fish, or a snowmobile,
or a dead fish on a snowmobile
[PHONE RINGING]
Whatever.
It's not like I've had
the greatest track record
when it comes to relationships.
[GASPING]
Wow.
That felt like an unsolicited
fish pic reaction.
- Are you okay?
- No.
Maybe. I-I don't know.
[OPENING LOCKER]
It's from Novak.
There's a new ground school
opening up at Air Canada and
he wants to walk my resume in.
Lexi, that's amazing!
Hey! You think that's that call
that's gonna change your life,
like the psychic said?
This is just
[SIGHING]
It's coming so soon.
Like, a lot sooner than I expected.
I don't know if I'm ready.
[PHONES RINGING]
Hey, I'll go kick the tires,
Cap. See you out there!
[PHONE RINGING]
Hey, Goose, how are the skies
up there?
I have some news, maybe.
Novak wants to walk my resume
into Air Canada,
and, like, what if I'm not ready, dad?
I just made captain up here!
Slow down, Lex.
You're the girl who begged me
to take you flying
every weekend since you were four!
I know, I am ready.
You are.
And whether you go to Air Canada
now or later,
I know this for sure:
one day my baby is gonna fly
for a major airline.
And whatever airline that is,
wherever that first flight
she's flying is going,
I'm gonna be on it.
Thanks, dad.
I love you. I gotta run,
Maya and I have a call.
Love you too, Goose.
[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]
You look good!
Rested. Hey!
Do they teach you to make these
little pictures in the foam?
We don't need to make small talk, Zay.
Oh, thank God.
Yeah, I didn't wanna
bring it up, but
I have no idea what I would do
if I couldn't go in the field.
I would be losing my mind,
it would be torture.
You're gonna get your fortune read?
Oh, uh nah.
They just say something generic
to give you permission
to want the thing you want,
or do the thing you were
gonna do anyway.
I don't need a card
to give me permission.
And I know what I want.
Two of swords.
There's a fork in the road.
You made a decision recently,
but you weren't sure
it was the right one.
Some people might think
I'm letting them down, but
I'm trying to do the right thing.
See this blindfold?
It means there's something
you aren't seeing clearly.
Or maybe, you're choosing
to stay in the dark.
Because it feels safer than change.
[PHONE RINGING]
Sorry.
Hey. Ready to go? We got a call.
You bet! Sounds like fun. Here.
- Thanks.
- See you, Stef.
[DOOR CHIMES]
Can I get another coffee
when you have a minute?
You got it.
Friends of yours?
Uh yeah. Coworkers.
I'm a paramedic.
Oh. That's exciting.
It was.
Maybe a little too exciting.
I had to go on break.
I really miss it, though.
Sounds like the perfect time
for a reading.
I don't tell anyone anything bad,
and I only read what could happen,
not necessarily what will happen.
It's always up to you
to make your own choices.
Yeah, I don't
I don't mean to be rude, I just
I don't think there's anything
in there that could help
solve my problems, so
Doesn't matter if what I do
is real or not.
The problems my clients
come to me with are real enough.
Just as real as yours.
A lot of what I do is listen.
It could be the best day
of someone's life or the worst.
But they all wanna be heard.
And they all wanna feel that
someone's there, trying to help.
Even if it's just reading cards.
You know, that's what I did
in my job too.
Try to help people
on the worst day of their lives.
I think I will try
the lemon merengue next.
- To dessert day, huh?
- Yup.
Tell you what.
Bring me a slice of something
new every hour,
I wanna try them all while I can.
All right, I'll do my best.
[ENGINE REVVING]
I actually am good at DIY.
Or, I was until that stupid wall
fell on me.
Yeah, not the best start
to building a new nursery, huh?
My wife and I only have
a couple months
before the baby gets here.
Lily and I both had big
corporate gigs,
we had good titles, good money.
But when we found out
we were pregnant,
we moved up here to downsize.
You did all that just for Junior?
My parents weren't really
around when I was growing up.
I just always felt like their
jobs came first, you know?
As a third kid of two doctors,
I do know.
I wanna be there for my kid.
I want them to know
I'm always gonna pick them up
when they fall.
[WINCING IN PAIN]
Oh, God, my arm.
Oh, she's tachycardic.
[ALERTS BEEPING]
Cyanosis in the nail beds,
can you feel that?
No, no, my arm's tight!
We'll take a look.
Pink and swollen.
No radial pulse.
It's Compartment Syndrome,
she needs a fasciotomy.
What does that mean?
Sometimes after a crushing injury,
the pressure can build up.
- It restricts blood flow.
- Mm-hmm.
We're gonna take that pressure
off to reduce nerve damage
and limb death.
Are you saying I could lose my arm?
Crystal is gonna make an incision
to relieve the pressure.
Okay okay.
[ZAY] Hey, it's gonna be okay.
We got you.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[STATIC FLASH]
Crystal.
No. No, we can't do this.
What do you mean?
No, it's outside our scope
of practice.
Crystal, you're practically a doctor.
No, it's our job to get Kendra
to the hospital
so actual doctors can treat her.
That's bullshit!
She needs her arm
so she can hold her kid.
It's under 12 hours since
injury, she's in the window,
they can deal with this properly
at TCH.
Crystal, every minute we wait,
she loses use for her arm.
No, we have to make the safest
decision for the patient!
Have dispatch call TCH,
tell 'em to prep an OR.
[LEXI] Copy that.
Dispatch, SkyMed 911, we have
[CRYING IN PAIN]
Zay! What the hell are you doing?
I'm saving her arm so she has
a chance to hold her baby.
Thirty-five-year-old woman,
right arm crushed under a beam,
developed Compartment Syndrome
in transit,
we performed a fasciotomy.
Well done, you may have
just saved her arm.
Page the OR, let's go.
You're gonna be okay.
She's gonna be okay, Crystal.
No, you took a dangerous risk.
That's all you've done
since you've got up here,
look for excuses to play!
This isn't a game, Zay!
These are people.
This is their lives.
And her life would be a lot
different without an arm.
You could've performed that
fasciotomy.
Easy!
Don't get made at me
'cause you lost your nerve.
This isn't about nerve.
If we made a mistake
We both know you don't make mistakes.
Yes, I do. This is a mistake.
Zay, you're a mistake.
And I'm not willing to lose
a patient over your ego!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
[SNORTING AND LAUGHING]
No wonder you can't get a girlfriend!
Aim like that.
Shut up, dude.
[LAUGHING]
How's that for aim?
Hey! Thing One and Thing Two,
safety first, got it?
No horsing around.
[SNORTING]
Ooh, we're in trouble!
[LAUGHING]
That is a glass eye waiting to happen.
You're still thinking
like a paramedic.
Think like a bartender.
People playing darts drink.
And the higher the bill,
the higher the tip.
You know, I see so many real
injuries in my job.
People you really wanna help,
but can't.
It's hard going from that
to watching jokers
make dumb choices.
Is that why you had to step away?
The people you wanted to help
and couldn't.
Uh kind of.
I thought I could handle it.
You know, everyone I know,
all my friends, everyone I work
with, they can all handle it.
I guess I couldn't.
That's why I'm here.
I see a lot of hurt people
in my job too.
There were some I could give
closure or hope, but
those aren't the ones
that stay with you.
Every once in a while,
you meet someone
who is really struggling.
There was this, uh woman,
who used to see me.
Her daughter disappeared.
Beautiful eight-year-old girl,
just gone from the backyard,
without a trace.
And her mother
was in tremendous pain.
[SIGHING]
She came every week,
hoping I could see something.
Um, what happened?
One day, she just stopped coming.
[EMOTIONAL MUSIC]
Those are the ones who stay with me.
That's why today is special.
It's my last day doing readings.
Sure you don't want one?
Um
I probably shouldn't.
It-it's starting to get busy, so
[ENGINE STARTS]
Thank God, you're still here,
Hayley, I need your help.
My brother fell, I think
his wrist might be broken.
Let me get his medical info,
what's his date of birth?
Uh, you know, I, um
I was actually hoping we could
do this off the books?
I had a really hard time
getting custody of him,
because Family Social Services
thought I was too young to handle it.
Mm-hmm.
But if it goes on record that
he got hurt under my care
Well, if his arm's broken,
he'll need X-rays,
and anytime there's paper work
like imaging,
it's actually really hard
to keep it out of the system.
But, Piper, you're doing
a great job with Finlay,
they'll see that.
Finn fell because he got into
a fight with some other kids.
If Family Social Services
finds out that he got hurt,
in a fight, I mean
they'll question my parenting.
They might take him away.
Imaging owes me a favor.
I'll see what I can do.
[SOFT MUSIC]
It was dumb.
There were some guys
at the basketball court,
and they were picking
on this little kid.
I got mad, and I tried to stop them.
But, um one of the jerks
pushed me, and I tripped.
Does that happen a lot?
Stuff making you mad?
No. Why? Does it matter?
You know what I just thought?
Um imaging never has
enough positioning rings,
but I always keep spare pillows
in the ER supply closet,
do you wanna grab those to take down?
Just so they feel more
like doing us a favor.
Sure.
Your sister really wants
to protect you, Finn,
but you're not in any trouble.
I just thought we could have
a minute alone
in case there was anything
you wanted to talk to me about.
Like-like what?
Anything.
Problems at school
problems at home.
I lost my mom when I was
around your age.
It was really hard.
And going into foster care,
that must've been tough.
You know, your sister really
wants you stay with her.
Do you feel safe living with her?
I wanna be with Piper.
Okay? I'm the one who
asked her to take me.
Okay. No one's trying
to take you away from her.
I'm gonna have a look
at your elbow, okay?
Wait!
Are those cigarette burns?
[UNEASY MUSIC]
Finn.
Please don't tell Piper that you know.
[FAINT ROCK MUSIC]
Ah, the devil.
I know that might seem dramatic,
but it's not literal.
No, no, I've already met the devil.
I see.
You felt trapped for a long time.
But now, you're in charge
of your own life.
And you won't be controlled
ever again.
But be careful.
Dancing with the devil
even your own devils can
tempt you too far the other way.
[PHONE RINGING]
I'm sorry, I have to take this.
Hey. It's done? He signed?
Not yet.
He changed his mind, Maya.
He wants the ring back.
I'm sorry.
No, my sister made that ring,
she was the jeweler,
all he did was buy the stones
I know, but we both know
how difficult it's been
to get the divorce proceedings
to this point.
I know the ring has
sentimental value
Oh, sentimental value?
That is the only thing
I have left of my sister.
You're so close
to having this done, Maya!
You're so close to being free.
If you give him what he wants,
this is
No.
I did that for five years,
I am not doing it anymore.
[TENSE MUSIC]
[PHONE BEEPS]
What a beautiful day for flying.
You okay?
You're quiet.
Yeah. Fine.
You know what? You're right.
It is a beautiful day,
and we're totally free up here,
so, let's do something fun,
let's do some low-level flying.
Maya, we don't do that.
Not with a patient on board.
Oh, come on. It's perfect conditions.
And, it'll be your last chance
if you're going to a major airline.
No one's going
to a major airline, yet.
Maybe some other time.
On a leg without a patient.
[ENGINE REVVING]
Beginning approach.
I-I don't feel purple,
but my hands are round.
Jim, are you okay?
Huh? Yeah.
I feel, uh
[SINGSONGY] I feel
He doesn't sound okay.
Well, he's only going to Thompson
for an oncology consult.
Hey, Jim, there's nothing
in your chart.
Did you take anything before
you got on the plane?
Yeah, well, I-I don't like
flying, so I
I took some anti-nausea stuff.
Yeah? How many did you take?
Uh, one.
But after a couple minutes
it-it wasn't really working,
so I took another one.
And then, another couple
minutes later,
it still wasn't doing
anything so I-I took two more.
That sounds like too many.
Okay, yeah, that's definitely
too many,
I'm gonna give you
some physostigmine, okay?
No, I don't really need
anything fizzy-stigma,
I think I'm just gonna, uh
I think I just, I'm gonna walk it off.
- Oh, okay, Tim. Hey, Tim?
- Yeah?
I-I need you oof!
I need some help back here!
This is your landing,
you have control.
- I have control.
- I need help back here!
Help, help!
All right, all right, let's go.
Gear down, three green,
props for forward, flap down
power back.
[ENGINE HUMS]
[MISCHIEVOUS MUSIC]
[ENGINE REVVING]
- Maya!
- Going around!
[THRILLING MUSIC]
- What the hell was that?
- Had to go-around.
What? Why?
What's wrong? Something happened?
Let's get this patient
on the ground, Maya? Now?
[JIM] Pronto!
What the hell were you thinking?
I wasn't thinking anything.
It was a go-around.
You did a low and over
with a patient on board!
The patient was fine.
Perfectly healthy,
he was just tripping balls.
Maya.
Something like that could've
gotten all of us hurt.
If you'd screwed up,
and you made a mistake
that close to the ground.
I wasn't stunting, it was a go-around.
I was fully configured to land,
but then I saw movement in the trees,
and it looked like a deer, and I
You are out of control!
Okay?
This isn't my first rodeo, Maya,
I know what you did.
You wanted to push the envelope,
and I told you no!
And that's my call as captain,
but you didn't listen!
Because you don't like anyone
telling you what to do!
So you lost control,
and you acted out!
What do you know about
being out of control?
Huh?
Your dream job is right
in front of you,
and you are scared of it,
you won't take any chances!
Without a friend like Novak or
me pushing you to make a move.
[SCOFFING]
You are waiting for permission
to live your life.
[LOCKER SLAMS]
We might be friendly, Maya
but I am not your friend.
I'm a captain first,
and I'm reporting you
to the Chief Pilot.
Lexi, you know I already have
one strike with Wheezer.
Yeah, and you knew that too,
which makes what you did today
extra stupid.
You can't tell Wheezer.
You should've thought about that
before you pulled this crap!
First thing tomorrow,
I'm reporting you.
No. Lexi!

What?
Hayley, what are you doing? Stop!
Piper, what is going on?
Why is Finn listed as missing,
and why does he have burns on his arm?
No one can know
that he's here, Hayley.
They'll know you looked him up.
You don't have custody, do you?
Finn said that you took him,
I thought that meant
that you got custody
but you just took him.
It's not what you think.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Okay, Piper, I think you're
in a lot of trouble here,
and I wanna help you, but you
have to tell me what's going on.
I don't have custody
of my brother, okay?
After our parents died,
I was still in nursing school,
I didn't have a job,
I didn't have money,
Family Social Services
thought I couldn't handle
taking care of Finn.
They wanted to place him
with my aunt and uncle.
I wanted him to be with family,
so I agreed.
But I didn't know them very well.
I didn't know that my uncle
has a temper.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
I tried to get him out of there,
but there's so much red tape,
there's so much you have to prove.
It's my fault, Hayley!
I was the one who put him in there.
No, Piper, it is not your fault.
And I know you wanna protect
Finlay, and I-I do too,
and I also wanna protect you.
I think you know
that this isn't the way.
Let me help you. Please.
The X-ray shows it's broken,
but when Crystal's back in tomorrow,
she can give you an air cast.
Without the paper work.
Thank you.
You've done a lot.
I wanna make some calls tonight,
and get some more information for you.
Off the record.
I know we can find a way
to figure this out.
I don't wanna drag you into this.
Um, I'll take Finn home after that.
Why don't you stay here tonight?
Both of you.
I mean, I'll be worried if you
go home and FSS shows up.
And this room's empty,
and there's security,
so no one can get to you
without me knowing about it.
I'm gonna text Crystal to make
sure she can come in first thing.
- 'Kay
- Okay?
It's okay.
- You hungry?
- Yeah.
We'll get something to eat, okay?
[FAINT COUNTRY MUSIC]
First round's on me ♪
Yes!
Fifty bucks I get a bull's-eye
this throw.
You don't have $50, man,
I took all your money already.
Well, then I'll win it back,
with this throw.
Yeah, it's your mortgage.
Ah!
[GROANING]
Okay, hang on, I'm a medic,
whatever you do, don't pull
Hold on, I'm coming!
I got this.
- Oh.
- Okay. It's okay, it's okay.
I got it, Stef. Good hustle, though.
Okay, buddy, here we go.
Nice and easy.
[COUNTRY SONG ENDS]
You were right.
The chocolate cake was best for last.
Woah, Yoli, this is way too much.
It's a tip.
For keeping me company today.
What? Bringing me pie
doesn't feel as important
as helping drunk dart players?
I wanna help people.
I need to help. It's who I am.
But, I can't do that anymore,
because it's hurting me.
And I don't know who I am or-or
what to do if I'm not
If I can't
You've put this off long enough.
You need a reading.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
Oh, God. My career is really over.
It's not literal, hun.
And Death is a beautiful card.
Death isn't the end,
it's the beginning!
The death of one thing
always means the birth
of something else.
But it's in reverse,
you're fighting it.
You and I are a lot alike,
I've spent my whole career,
my whole life,
trying to help people
even though it was hurting me.
It's hard,
carrying so much hurt,
and-and suffering.
Don't do what I did,
don't burn yourself out
until there is nothing left.
Find a different way to help.
One that doesn't hurt you.
What if I can't?
Sometimes letting go and giving up,
sometimes that isn't failure.
Sometimes
death can be a gift.
Keep these.
What?
Maybe they'll help you find your way.
Don't you wanna keep them
for the memories?
I'm ready to let go of them.
Um thank you.
I'm glad I was your last reading.
Me too, sweetie.
[GENTLE MUSIC]
Yoli, wait!
No one's done your reading.
You said today was a special day,
and you told me you wanted
to try all the desserts
while you could.
And that stack of cash
you just left me as a tip,
I have a feeling that was all
the money you made today.
You're enjoying things one last time,
and you're giving away
the things you won't need anymore.
You told me about a mother
who still haunts you,
a mother that you couldn't help.
No matter how much you wanted to,
or how much it hurt
to watch her suffer.
You feel like you failed her.
And I have a feeling
that's just one of the stories
you could've told me.
I think they all weigh on you.
Maybe too heavily
for you to keep going.
Or to keep carrying them.
[MELANCHOLIC MUSIC]
You told me that after tonight,
you're done with readings.
And you gave me these cards because
you don't see any other way forward.
Death is a gift.
Yoli, I know that you wanna
help people,
but helping, caring the way
that you do, it hurts too.
It hurts so much that it could
just pull you down with it.
The pain, the grief, the weight.
You only know one way to make it
stop, by getting out.
By taking the only exit
that you think you have.
And, Yoli
I'm afraid that you're planning
to take that exit.
[SOBBING QUIETLY]
How can you see all that?
You didn't even flip the cards over.
It's just like you said,
we get to make our own choices.
So, you get to decide.
Death isn't a gift, Yoli.
Rebirth, change, starting
over that's the gift.
You spent your life
helping other people,
it's okay if you need help too.
So, please, I know it feels like
there aren't any other options,
but there are.
Let me help you get the help
you need to find it.
Maybe you still need these.
[SOFT MUSIC]
Maybe I do.
But you give a pretty good
reading yourself.
Thank you.
Okay.
[SCREAMING] Wake up!
- Hayley!
- [GUNSHOT]
[GASPING]
Hey, you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Yeah, it was just a dream.
[GROANING]
Have you been up all night?
Yeah, there's, uh, a situation
with one of my medics,
and I'm worried if I don't
find a good solution,
she will do something reckless.
Yeah, I should probably get up
and do some work too.
Riley's coming tomorrow
for an inspection.
I'm worried she's gonna fight
me on the cost of this
new security system.
After what you went through,
you know, it's normal to feel unsafe.
You were held at gun point.
And-and you got shot.
And you won't talk about it,
but you keep having nightmares,
and you're worried about
the security at the hangar,
you're worried about me
You wanna talk about me?
Why don't we talk about
what's going on with you,
Hayley?
You tell me how much
you wanna get married,
you practically give me an ultimatum,
and then when I ask you to marry me,
you say no.
What am I supposed to do
with that, Hayley?
Huh?
How am I supposed to just, like,
go on like nothing happened?
Like everything is totally normal.
Wheezer, that wasn't the right time,
that wasn't the right way.
Okay, so now I'm supposed to
know the exact way
to do it too, huh?
It's late, and we have work tomorrow,
and this conversation is a lot
more complicated than this.
So, why don't we just take
a pause on this for now?
Hayley, what is it?
Because you're the one
that wanted me to talk.
So do you want me to talk or not?
Wheezer, I always want you
to talk, but not like this.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Mmm, babe!
Something smells amazing!
You've definitely picked up some
new tricks at the Whisky Hatch.
Yeah, I learned more
than I thought I would.
So it was not a total waste of time?
No.
I think I wanna take
some classes at UCN.
You know, maybe psychology
or social work.
You'd be good at that, babe.
It feels like it lines up
with what we do, you know?
Just another way to help people.
Maybe you could practice on me.
I could use a pep talk before
I talk to Wheezer about Maya.
I know it's the right thing to do,
it's my job to do it,
if someone is being unsafe
or crossing a line.
But
Maya was starting to feel more
like a friend than a co-pilot.
And now I have to switch to
boss mode and drop the hammer.
Well, as
[PHONE RINGING]
It's my dad.
Dad, I've been trying to call you.
Lexi?
Mom?
Why you calling on dad's
phone? Everything okay?
You need to come home.
Your dad's in the hospital.
What?
Lexi?
They don't think he has much time.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
Piper, Finn,
I brought good coffee
from the crew house.
