Grey's Anatomy s17e01 Episode Script

Previously on "Grey's Anatomy"
Okay, Cindy Wright.
She fits the profile.
Arrest this woman for child trafficking!
Please escort
Dr. DeLuca to my office.
What? Me?! What,
you're just gonna let her go?
I did the job that needed to be done!
Andrew, you sound like your father.
This is Gemma.
- Uh, she's a friend.
- I can see that.
Something's wrong with me.
What's happening?
Cobalt poisoning would
explain the dementia, the depression,
hallucinations, tremors Everything.
Is your mind playing tricks on you again?
Did you stand by me
while I was being fired?
I'm tired of telling you
that I want more.
I hope you find someone
who will give that to you.
Dr. Winston Ndugu.
I have had a crush on you
since my first day of residency.
What do you think
of the name Scout?
So cute.
- We're getting married.
- I want a life with you.
Are you really sure
you want to close this door?
A voicemail from Dr. Altman.
I can't leave with you.
I am marrying Owen.
I'm so sorry, honey. We'll reschedule.
Why are we rescheduling?
I've heard
that when tidal waves hit,
there are often people watching on shore.
They see the disaster coming,
see the horizon disappearing.
They don't really see
until it's too late.
There's a lecture we take in residency
that's meant to prepare us
for such surprises.
It's called Disaster Ethics
Where future surgeons imagine
what they would do
when the unimaginable happens.
But it's imperfect.
Because while it's good
to plan for the worst,
you can't really know
how you'll handle it
until you're smack dab
in the middle of it,
under the wave, trying not to drown.
Thank you!
- Yes!
- Thank you, all!
I'll see you after the shift change.
You be careful out there.
You be careful in there.
We are doing everything right.
We are wearing masks.
We are wearing gloves.
We are slowing the spread.
I am good and my family is g
Oh, please don't tell me
you're experiencing symptoms.
I am absolutely not
experiencing any symptoms.
I'm here to work.
I'm cobalt free, Miranda.
I've done my hip rehab.
I'm better than ever.
Just tell me where you want me,
but don't say back home.
Well, everything's changed.
I mean, specialties no longer matter.
Surgeons check temperatures.
Attendings do scut. It's a madhouse.
On fire.
Well, you better show me around.
Unless you're too busy.
You can send me off with a resident.
You know, I'd love
to say hello to DeLuca.
DeLuca is no longer a resident.
So, Andrew's in the on-call room on 3.
He didn't even want to come in today,
but I didn't think
he should be alone, so
Right.
Because you're so concerned
about his well-being.
This is unbelievable.
What happened with DeLuca now?
He could barely get up
after Richard's surgery.
It's the depression that
always comes after the mania.
You knew this happens,
b-but you pushed him anyways.
And you let her.
First stop for every employee.
A few questions.
And if your temperature's
even a hair over 100 degrees,
you go back home. No exceptions.
And once you're cleared
Here, get in here
You will change
and be fitted with a new N95.
Alright, let's move it.
How was the picnic?
It turned into a sleepover, actually.
On the laundry-room floor?
Yeah, Zola didn't want me to leave,
and I-I was too tired
to go back to the hotel room.
So she had a picnic on the kitchen floor,
and I got takeout.
And we talked to each other
through the closed door,
and then I made a bed
out of some baby blankets
I found in the dryer.
You are such a good aunt.
Yeah, my back is killing me,
but it sure beats lying
in my hotel-room bed
and watching terrifying
statistics on the news
and knowing that's not even
half the story.
Yeah. I tried explaining to my grandma
how this is impacting
Black folks more severely.
But all she wants to talk
about is how sacrilegious it is
to attend church on a computer.
Dr. Ndugu,
we have a dissection.
Uh, I gotta go, babe. Love you.
- Love you?
- Hm?
Were you eavesdropping on my call?
Not on purpose.
Sounds like things
are going pretty well, though,
if you're at "love you" already.
Well, we're not. I'm not We're
That's just That's just,
like, a-a thing people say.
- By rote.
- Is it?
How's Vic?
It's really nice of them
to clap us in and out every day.
I I really appreciate that.
- Yeah.
- Yeah. It really is.
It's nice.
Ooh, we have a visitor.
Who is here coming to visit us?
Hey, hey, hey, I'm
- Oh, hey!
- Oh!
- Uh, what is
- Oh! No.
What is going on? Hi.
No, no. Um
I thought
We were texting and you said
to come over with nothing on.
- I didn't mean right now.
- So you Okay.
Okay. Um, sorry. I'm sorry. Hello?
- Hi.
- Come on
No, no, you know what? Actually. No.
It's fine. It's okay. It's good.
It's not that cold out, actually,
- so I'm just I'm gonna go.
- Hey. No, you don't need to leave.
No, I do. I have to, okay?
This is
This was good.
This was a mistake. But this whole thing.
I'm not a
I'm not a stepmom.
You're not a stepmom.
I'm just I'm a person
who shows up at penthouses
wearing puffy coats
and nothing else, so
Yeah.
Wow. Okay.
Um, this was too much too soon.
Thank you.
Hi, Harriett, it was really nice
Really nice to meet you
after all this time.
Um, okay, bye.
Godspeed.
- Next.
- This happens when I eat nuts,
but I didn't eat any nuts.
- Uh, I don't think.
- Those food labels are small.
Here.
Okay, 98.6.
So you are going to want to follow
the purple line to the ER.
I don't want a Chinese doctor.
Oh, okay.
Then you're going to want to follow
this green line to the parking lot,
put your rude self back in your car
and hope you don't go into
anaphylactic shock.
I'll follow the purple line to the ER.
Perfect.
OMG. Dr. Webber.
You look great. Hearts.
Perez.
Next.
Hey.
Can you please make sure
this gets up to the COVID floor
- with Enna Ravera?
- Just leave it.
Uh, hey, Karen, uh, could I get an update
for Ike Donerson?
He's a friend of a friend.
Happy to check on him for you, Dr. Hunt.
- Hope the kids are doing okay.
- Oh, thanks.
Um, my mom's hands are full,
but she's managing.
There's another tent for visitors
'cause none are allowed in the hospital
unless accompanying a young child.
- Dr. Webber?
- Ah, Hunt.
Altman. I-I-Is it still Altman?
- Yeah, still Altman.
- Ah.
I hate to leave,
but I-I-I got to get back.
Yeah, and I I've got another
- Uh.
- Alright, the less severe symptoms
are sent home to self-quarantine.
The more severe are admitted.
The entire OR heard a recording
of Altman and Koracick having sex
or was that the cobalt talking?
- That was not the cobalt.
- Ooh!
Stop it. Stop it.
- You're bad. Stop it.
- Stop?
I came back just so
I could ask the question.
- What is wrong
- What?
The entire east wing
is now a COVID ward.
We've converted whole floors
into negative pressure rooms.
Severe patients go to
this special COVID ICU.
So far we have enough ventilators.
Well, what about PPE for the staff?
We are reusing what we have,
- but we need more a lot
- Wait.
- No, no, no, no.
- Well, someone's coding here.
Uh, and we have staff inside
to deal with it.
Look, hospitals are losing
too many of their own.
So no one goes through
those doors without full PPE,
which is in short supply.
Yes, it goes against everything we teach,
but there are no emergencies
in a pandemic.
Marvin Lindstrom. 83.
He was fine yesterday,
became hypoxic an hour ago.
It's the fourth patient I've lost today,
and they're all dying alone.
Welcome back, Richard.
Hey, so, bed 4 needs
to go up for CT, okay?
- Still has pain in the chest?
- Yes.
- Hughes, we're not taking
- No, I know.
I know you're not taking
any non-COVID cases,
but you are taking this teenager
with full thickness burns
from head to toe from a car explosion.
I intubated him on the scene.
He's hypotensive and tachycardic
and you are the best
so you are taking him because
if you send us away, he dies,
and that makes you a murderer.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Trauma 1.
You were right to bring him here.
Emergent surgeries only,
so it's empty most of the time.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
I try not to look at it. Too sad.
Bailey, what the hell is that?
Oh, not that, her.
She's my new best friend.
She hates germs as much as I do.
Uh, see that UV light?
It can disinfect a room in minutes.
Hands-free.
That's incredible.
I used to go see babies
when I needed serotonin.
But they don't let visitors
on the OB floor anymore.
So now I come see her.
She's sleek, beautiful, she hates germs.
- I love her.
- Uh, do my eyes deceive me?
Captain Cobalt, welcome back.
- Ugh.
- What, too soon?
No, in all seriousness,
I'm so happy to see you
on your feet again.
What's with the nine iron?
Oh, well, this way
you won't get any closer
than, uh, six feet from me.
You don't need a golf club for that, Tom.
Any word on the shipment?
Uh, relax, Bailey.
I said it's coming, it's coming.
What, you got N95s and face shields?
Because there's pirates
out there and hucksters.
Has Catherine been coming in?
Sometimes.
- Uh, Richard, I've got a trauma.
- Oh, I'll come.
No, you go read the safety manuals
and memorize the new protocols.
Can't let anything
fall through the cracks.
Or anyone.
Can I help you?
A patient of your brother's
would like to see him.
- No. Absolutely not.
- It's Cindy Wright.
The girl he said was being trafficked.
It appears he was right.
S-She's here? Is she okay?
She is here but I would not say
she is okay.
No, Bailey, you need to stop doing this.
I-I wouldn't be here
if it were anyone else.
But I think he's
the only person in the world
she trusts right now.
Oh, my
You sure about this?
No.
- Hey.
- I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry I didn't listen,
but I was scared.
You do not need to apologize
for anything, okay?
I'm just glad you came back.
Walk me through what happened.
How did you get here?
I got sicker,
and Opal said I was useless.
She dropped me off
on the side of the interstate.
But I remembered the name of this place.
And you.
Chief, do you mind if I go in with her?
I'll throw on some lead. Of course.
Isn't DeLuca
I mean, people have been saying he
Get the man a vest.
- Hi.
- Schmitt.
Marvin Lindstrom just died.
No. Please, no.
I tried calling his wife.
It rolled to voicemail.
- Are you with her?
- She's here.
Her flip phone died,
and we didn't have a charger.
She wanted to say goodbye to him.
Well, I wanted that, too, Schmitt.
There just wasn't time.
It happened so fast.
They were married 62 years.
I held his hand while he died.
So if you can't deliver the news to her,
just find someone who can.
What do we have?
Engine blew when he
was trying to cool it down.
It started a fire.
He's got extensive full-thickness burns.
- Let's hang some fluids.
- On it.
These kids decided to break
quarantine, went out to a party.
A party? Now?
Okay, I gotta call my kids
and threaten them.
You want, uh, back up?
Want me to page Altman?
No, no, no, we're good.
He's hypotensive.
Arms are all charred.
This IV's blown. I need access.
- Okay. IO kit.
- Right away, Doctor.
Okay, here we go.
Order a trauma panel.
Let's get x-ray in here.
His sats are still dropping.
He's getting harder to bag.
These chest burns are preventing
his lungs from expanding.
- Escharotomy. Scalpel.
- Escharotomy. Scalpel.
Alright, we need to get
this kid to an OR
- and start debriding, ASAP.
- Yeah, I already paged for help.
I need to stay down here. There's
other kids coming in from this fire.
- Alright, copy that.
- Hey, Hunt, I got your page.
And here's your help.
Everything okay?
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Great.
Okay. Let's get ready to move.
You hear this, uh, kid
was out partying with friends?
I don't know what the hell
these kids are thinking.
Yeah, well, people do stupid things.
Hey.
Hey.
I'm, uh, about to be done here
if you need the room.
No, actually, I was looking for you.
I need a favor.
Cool. Consult?
Yeah, kind of.
Um
Actually, no, not Not like a consult.
Um
S
- Sex.
- What's that?
Sex.
I need sex.
I need a sex favor.
A sexual favor.
I W-What?
I need a bridge over the river
of the husband who abandoned me.
A short bridge.
No, like a Like a one-night bridge.
I-I can't tell if you're
being serious. Are you
Look, I don't know how to be
single or feel single again.
I just I-I don't know how
to cross over the bridge
over into the land of Not a Sad Sack.
Of Not a The land of Not a Sad Sack?
- Okay.
- Okay, I-I need to have sex, Jackson.
With someone that I trust to be safe
and and just not murder me
in my sleep.
And I need a bridge, so I'm asking.
I am truly asking for a favor.
A sexy favor.
Okay, and you And you can say no
if you feel used
or objectified or whatever,
but I hope that you just feel flattered
because I'm mostly saying
that you're a human male
that I kind of trust.
Okay.
Like, okay okay?
I mean, it's not exactly a hardship, Jo.
Oh, my God. Okay. Um tonight?
- Sure. Yeah.
- Okay.
- My My place?
- Okay. Yes!
Thank you. Thank you. You're the best.
- Thanks.
- Okay.
Yo!
- Okay.
- Okay, Jo.
Dora, hi, it's Dr. Grey calling.
I I'm okay, thank you for asking.
Dora, I-I'm so sorry
to tell you, but your father
His condition got much worse last night.
So, um, I'm afraid if
If you do want to come
and say goodbye, then
Then you should come soon.
Now.
Okay.
Okay, uh, just call me when you're here,
and I'll make the arrangements.
Okay. I'm I'm so I'm so sorry.
Okay.
You're doing great, Cindy.
Almost done, okay?
I'm not Cindy.
My name is Erin Banks.
I'm from Scottsdale, Arizona.
This photographer followed me
on Snapchat.
He said that he had a modeling agency
and that I was beautiful.
He wanted to meet,
but my parents said no.
My sister said it was sketchy.
But I snuck out to meet him.
That was two years ago.
Two years? So she was fourteen.
Helm
Take this. Call the police immediately.
Say to them what she just said.
Her family needs to know
their little girl is still alive. Go, go.
Lord, help us.
My parents tried to warn me,
but I'm so dumb.
I'm so stupid.
Hey, hey, stop that. Okay, listen to me.
None of this is your fault, okay?
None of it.
It's Opal, and people like her.
It's their fault.
And we got you.
And they're never going to
hurt you ever again, okay?
Opal said that if I ran, she'd kill me,
and if I told anyone, she'd find
my sister and take her, too.
Soak it in, kids.
Bask in the glory of the PPE mother lode.
It's beautiful.
It came? It actually came!
I forgot what good news feels like.
- Altman, can I help you?
- Uh, yeah.
I mean, our nurses are using rubber bands
to hold on their masks.
Can't we help you open these?
Or were you planning to sell
them on the black market?
Oh, my God, were you?
No, no, I just
We We need, uh, a system.
Yeah, okay, well,
you know, we open these,
we take the masks,
and run around the hospital
like Santa Claus on Christmas.
That's the system.
Fine, fine, but you two stand guard
in case someone sneaks in
from another hospital.
- Are you serious?
- This stuff is paper gold, Tseng.
So now you're
the best-educated security guard
this side of the Mississippi.
I got booties!
Booties.
Booties. Good. Booties are good.
Yeah. Okay, but we also need masks.
Yeah, well, we also need booties.
You ordered masks, right?
And gloves and shields?
- Of course I did. I
- These are all booties.
- By the thousands.
- Booties, more booties.
They're here, somewhere.
They're here some
Damn it!
Oh, my God! Koracick!
Tom!
He's still tachycardic.
His body's so stressed from the burns.
God, it's so hot in here.
It has to be. I mean, the burns mean
his body can't regulate temperature,
so we got to crank the whole room way up.
I know that.
I wasn't saying you didn't, Jo.
Okay, then why even say it?
You said it was hot. I said why.
Okay? I thought
we were just stating facts.
Hey. I, uh, I drank some in the elevator
to, like, make it less weird.
Oh! Wine!
Yeah, which is now embarrassing
because I realize
that I kind of set this up as a date,
and it's definitely not a date.
I mean, I didn't bother wearing pants,
but it's really sweet.
Whoa! Oh, my God,
is that your date food?
- That is not
- Oh, my God, Jackson.
No girl wants to take their clothes off
after eating cheese and cured meat.
Thanks for coming over
and openly mocking me.
This is It's totally
acceptable date food.
Wait.
Is that Kenny G?
Do you only have
romantic soft pillow sex?
That's not It's on, like, a shuffle.
Mm. Mm.
I hate you. Gimme that.
Wow.
What now?
No, I just realized I've never
dated a rich guy before.
I mean, doctors have money,
but you're, like, collect-art rich.
Wow, that would weird me out.
Well, it's a good thing that
we're not dating then, isn't it?
Right.
You're just a bridge.
I'm just a bridge.
Are you sure this is what you want?
Mm-hmm.
Are you Oh, oh, okay.
We c We should stop.
No, no, no, I'm okay. Let's keep going.
- I don't think Jo
- I'm okay. I'm okay.
- It's okay. We should
- No, no, I really
I really want to have sex with you.
I really do. Please, let's keep going.
Okay, listen, it's okay.
I think we can
We can try another time.
I'm sorry.
- Sit down.
- I'm sorry.
I'll get you some water.
I'm so sorry.
No, you have nothing to be sorry about.
Don't worry about it.
They said they wanted to talk to my boss.
Then tell them you're the boss next time.
- Really?
- Hello. I'm Dr. Miranda Bailey.
Uh, uh, Kayden Lee
is our son. He was in a fire.
Kayden is only 18. We should
be allowed to be in there.
I know this is a scary situation.
I'm a parent. Believe me,
I understand your frustration.
But you have my word as chief
that all of your children
are receiving the best possible care.
But we just need you to bear
with us a little while longer.
Excuse me. Uh, Aaron Morris.
Any word on Frankie?
Uh, which one is Frankie?
He's immunocompromised.
He got a kidney donation
for polycystic kidney disease
just two months ago.
He's high risk for COVID.
- Then why was he at a party?
- Schmitt.
- Frankie Morris.
- Yes.
Uh, he must still be en route.
I'll look into it myself.
Tell Kayden he's not alone.
Mom and Dad are here.
I cannot do this, Steve.
I need to be with him.
He's our baby.
We still haven't heard
anything from her family?
Her family still live in Arizona,
sister goes to school in Portland.
I'm not sure if missing persons
was able to reach them.
Well, find out. I don't want her
waking up alone in an empty ICU!
Go on!
Bailey, if this is too much
for you, I can take over.
I betrayed her once.
I'm not doing that again.
I looked her in the eye
and told DeLuca to send her home.
With a monster.
Well, you assessed the situation
as best you could.
And you were distracted
because DeLuca was
DeLuca I don't know what
we're gonna do with DeLuca.
I mean,
I-I know what he's feeling.
At least in part.
I know what it feels like to want help
but be afraid of it at the same time.
Richard Webber all but put
the pills in my mouth.
I had given up, but he never did.
Well, maybe that's what we need to do.
Just not give up.
Tissue grasper.
Frankie Morris.
His father was notified
he was being brought here from the fire.
Frankie Morris. He's not here yet.
What did they do?
Stop for frozen yogurt on the way?
We're not even supposed
to be open to trauma.
You think he was turned away?
I'll try to find out.
Uh, uh, Bailey.
Uh, ah.
Um, I was thinking.
I saw some nurses wiping down
their masks with bleach.
Now, I know that can't be good,
so what I was wondering was can I
You went through the whole stack
of safety precautions?
I-I-I What was I say
You committed all
of those protocols to memory?
Look, this is no longer
the hospital that you left.
And if you're going to insist
on being here,
then you are going to need
to know how we operate now.
So when I tell you
to read the safety protocol,
I mean read the damn safety protocol!
Dr. Madigan to the COVID floor.
Dr. Madigan to the COVID floor.
Hey.
Yeah, so when I said goodbye earlier,
something kinda slipped out.
Hmm. You're gonna need
to be more specific.
Oh, you mean when you dropped
a "love you" on me
and then jumped off our call?
Right, okay, so you heard.
Yeah, so, um, s-so, yeah,
I wasn't really saying that to you.
That was to my colleague Kingsley.
It's this little initiative
we started at my hospital.
It's kind of like a morale boost,
so that the whole staff feels valued.
Oh, yeah, that makes way more sense
than you saying it to me
because that would be
Ridiculous, yeah, I know.
And maybe scare you away.
For real, though. Did I freak you out?
Weirdly only a little.
Okay, good.
Because if I lost
the one place in the world
where I actually manage
to feel good during this mess,
- I think I'd be done for.
- Me, too.
And somehow
you just made it more romantic
than saying "love."
- See how I do?
- Hm.
- Talk later?
- If we're still alive.
Excuse me.
We have more signs in this place
than Times Square,
and they're very clear.
The few visitors we have right now
have to be accompanied
by a hospital employee.
So either you have been misplaced
or you're not supposed to be here.
My son is in here. Kayden Lee.
I know it's against the rules
for me to be here,
but he was burned.
He was burned so badly
that he needs surgery.
He just turned 18, and I And I
And I know that means that he's an adult,
that he drives a car
and he's dating someone,
and he does his own laundry
because we wanted to make sure
of that before college.
But he still has the same smile
that he had when he was a baby,
and he still says "I love you"
before leaving the house,
and he won't shut the door
unless I say "I love you" back.
So he needs me.
He needs to hear my voice
and he'll know that I love him
and that everything is going to be okay.
I know what it's like
to worry about someone
so much you think it'll break you.
- Come with me.
- Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
What is this?
Andrew, the people in this room
love you, respect you,
and care about you,
and they want you to know that.
This is
No, no, humor us, please, please.
A-A-Andrea,
the day you were born,
Nonna was babysitting me.
And And, uh, when she told me
I had a baby brother,
I-I-I ran outside and I splashed around
in the puddles of rain and
And shouted at the sky
because I was so happy.
I, um
You You will always be
my baby brother.
And I know you're hurting right now.
I know that.
But you don't have to be.
There is help for you.
All of us want to help you.
DeLuca, even if you hadn't
saved my life, I'd be here.
I've seen class after class
come through this program.
I've done it enough to know when
someone has something special.
Don't throw this away.
What seems like a weakness
is actually a strength
If you get help.
Because you care so deeply.
You fight so hard for your patients,
for the people you love.
That's not illness. That's you.
You You know I live with
obsessive compulsive disorder.
But I take medication.
I get therapy, and I stay on top of it.
And, no, it is not always easy for me.
Look, you're not alone.
You have an illness,
but there's no shame in that.
- No shame?
- No.
That's a joke, right?
Why do you think it's a joke?
To say there's no shame?
My whole life, I've had one goal.
One thing that would mean I did okay.
Don't end up like my dad.
I wanted it more than being a surgeon.
One thing.
And I just
I failed.
No, you're not like him.
I don't care what you think, okay?
I don't care about Bailey's OCD.
I don't care about saving Richard's life.
I would give up every life
I have ever saved
if I could just not feel like this.
I'd give up knowing you!
God!
Hey.
Hey.
I know I'm not okay.
I just don't know what to do.
Okay. You listen to the people
that know what to do
and let them help you, Andrea.
Th-That's it.
All we're asking you to do
is fight as hard for yourself
as you do for everybody else.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay.
Perez.
It's Grey.
Get someone to cover your shift
so you can walk Dora up
so she can say goodbye.
Yep, that's it.
Walk her up so she can say goodbye.
Thank you.
I'll clean all this up.
I'll clean that up.
Hey.
Where have you been?
I-I was at home.
If you're not here
and you don't answer your phone,
then no one knows where you are
and nobody knows that you're okay.
I turned the ringer off
and I crashed
the second I got home, okay?
The therapist says that if I don't sleep,
the mania can creep back in.
Who died?
Everyone.
Marvin Lindstrom,
Doris Sanchez,
Tom Richardson.
You treated him.
Yeah, the retired choir director.
He He loved fishing.
And I'm sorry I wasn't here, Mer.
You're okay?
Yeah, I'm I'm okay.
I'm glad you're okay.
Make sure people know where you are.
So, Dr. Grey and I were able
to repair Erin's hernia,
but there was a great deal
of inflammation in her abdomen.
So we are giving her
a course of IV antibiotics.
You're going to have to say
all this again
for my parents when they get here.
I still can't believe any of this.
We We looked for her forever.
We looked for her everywhere.
Well, we can't stress enough
how much she's been through.
She's going to need years
of support and therapy.
Of course, whatever she needs.
I'm not sure I'm gonna let her
out of my sight ag
Abby?
I'm here, Erin.
I'm here. Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
- I'm so sorry.
- It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
Kayden.
What the hell are you doing?
You know that's not allowed.
If Bailey asks, I'll tell her
that I didn't get to
that part of the manual.
Can you give her a couple minutes?
Mama's here.
Can you hear me?
I'm here, and I love you.
I love you, too.
Richard.
O-O-Okay, I know
it's just a start, but
If you haven't gotten through
the new protocols,
then I'm not interested.
You are not my mother,
and you are not my teacher.
You are my colleague
and you are my friend
And I am your boss.
I am your boss and it is my job to
Well, don't tell me what your job is.
I taught you your job.
I taught you your whole damn job.
And now suddenly you don't
want to let me do mine?
I brought you down here
for some good news,
but you're convinced that I'm
I'm incompetent and infirm,
and you won't even hear it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What good news?
Your staff is reusing PPE,
and cleaning them with bacterial wipes
- Yeah.
- which deteriorates the mask.
Now they don't have to.
You're welcome.
Oh, my God.
It's genius.
- You're genius.
- I know.
I'm not sure how you forgot.
I did not.
And it's not about your ability, Richard.
It's about your vulnerability.
You know you are high risk
for COVID right now.
Look, you have already given
more of yourself
to this hospital than anyone ever could.
And you have overcome, you have suffered,
and you are why this hospital
is as good as it is today.
Y-You're why I am as good as I am today.
And you, Richard, have earned
the right to stay home,
to stay safe, and to rest.
This thing, it's
It's It's
It's only going to get worse.
Every relationship
I've ever had has failed.
Except this one.
And this place.
I will find no peace
No peace
If I have to leave it.
You
are going to give me
a second heart attack,
you know that?
Bailey
you know I got to tell you
that this place couldn't ask
for a better chief.
I'm in awe.
Even though I taught you most of it.
You know
Hey.
Hey.
How's he doing?
- Well, he's stable.
- Okay.
I think his visit from his mom helped.
Right.
I'd like to apologize to you
if that'll help.
I mean, I'm not exactly sure what I did
- to make you so angry, but
- Angry? I'm No, I'm not angry.
I I was just hot.
Jackson.
I am mortified.
All the time, every minute
that I'm around you.
I cried into your mouth.
I mean, I'm I'm pretty sure
that I snotted in your mouth.
And I-I You were trying
to do me a favor
- and I just I
- It was a favor you weren't ready for.
- I really wasn't.
- It's fine. You
Look, you've been through hell, okay?
You were doing your best.
You're still doing your best.
And we are, um, friends.
So if you can get over the mortification
and stop treating me like crap,
I figure we're all good.
Can we just pretend it never happened?
Done.
Okay. Alright.
I saw Kayden.
It's bad.
He was so bandaged
that I couldn't see his face.
- One second, okay. Hi, um, Mr. Morris.
- Yes?
Hey, your son Frankie was taken
to Seattle Presbyterian
- because we're a COVID center
- Oh, my God.
No, they are understaffed,
so they turned away his ambulance.
- Are you kidding me?
- I've been in touch with my husband,
who is a first responder.
They're bringing him back here.
He is stable, right?
He should be here momentarily.
Oh, my God.
- Okay. Thank you.
- Okay?
- Oh, God.
- Okay.
Hey, Mr. Bronson said his wife was here,
but I can't find her.
Can you just let her know
that his O.R.I.F. went fine?
I hope you're doing okay.
Because I'm not.
I hit 100 this morning.
100 times I've had to tell someone
that their loved one has died.
That's 10 times as much as I've had to do
since I started here.
And it's making me wonder how much longer
I can keep doing this
because 100 is a big number.
And I'm afraid of getting to
a place where it's not so big.
And I know that we're not together,
but you're still a person
that I care about and
I don't know.
I-I-I thought that you might
want to know how I'm doing.
Which is terrible.
And I really hope that you're okay.
I'm fine.
No, Conor said
Kayden started the fire.
Oh, so it's It's his fault?
They shouldn't have even been out there,
but they felt sorry for Frankie.
Wait a minute. You think
that this is Frankie's fault?
Posting all the time about how sad he is
he can't be with his friends.
He missed a year of school
when he was sick.
Of course he wanted to see his friends.
And, hey, I don't need a lecture
from Mr. Lakehouse here, okay?
Okay, everyone,
let's just settle.
We all follow each other on Instagram.
Did you really think we weren't
gonna see you grilling
every night with half the neighborhood?
And no one in masks!
You know, kids learn by example.
Well, Kayden's example
is a selfish moron.
Stop, both of you!
- Steve, stop! Cut it out right now!
- Schmitt, call security!
Disaster has a tendency
to melt away everything else in life.
Selfish son of a bitch!
Steve!
So if you want to know
who you'll be in a disaster,
- ask yourself
- Security!
who am I now?
