- Ooh.
- I'm awake, I'm awake. Oof.
I'm awake. I'm awake. Is it time?
No.

So tired ♪
Tired of waiting ♪
Tired of waiting for you ♪
What?
You just chugged a quart
of hot and sour soup.
Let's bring on this labor.
- Ooh.
- Is it time?
Yes. To pee, again.
Tired of waiting ♪
For you ♪
I was a lonely soul ♪
- MADDIE: Hey, Chim, get in here.
- I'm coming!
Is it time? Maddie?
Oh.
- Did the yoga work?
- I'm stuck.
Can you help me up, please?
Whoever said that good
things come to those who wait
was a liar, or at least,
maybe more patient than I am right now.
So far, we've tried
pineapple, raspberry tea,
spicy foods and now
exercise. What's next?
Sex.
What?
Please don't keep a-me waiting ♪
Oh, why didn't we start with that one?
Don't keep a-me waiting ♪
'Cause I'm so tired ♪
(engine revving)
Albert, will you please go faster?
I am obeying the posted
speed regulations.
Damn it, I wish I had my ambulance.
I deliver food to
people in a compact car.
I do not think I'm ready for that.
How are you doing?
Honestly, I don't want to jinx it,
but I sort of thought
it would hurt more.
These contractions
aren't even that painful.
Well, maybe you're
just that much tougher
- than the average mama bear.
- (chuckles)
Here. Have an electrolyte popsicle.
Another one?
You can't put a price on good hydration.

We have arrived at your destination.
Ready for this?
Today is the day.

Today is not the day.
(babbling softly)
CARLY: Oh, my goodness. Nia,
you look so beautiful today.
KAREN: What do we say, Nia?
- Thank you.
- CARLY: You're welcome.
- (door opens)
- DEIDRA: Hello, everyone.
Sorry I'm late. Are
we ready to see Mommy?
- CARLY: Are you ready for your visit?
- NIA: No. Mommy, Mommy, Mommy.
KAREN: It's okay, baby.
It'll just be a little while
and we'll be here waiting
- for you when you're done.
- (crying)
DEIDRA: I'm sorry.
But we should talk about
scheduling some overnight visits
for Nia and her mother.
HEN: Yes. We need to talk.
We want to meet her.
We want to meet Nia's birth mother.
Ms. Wilson, you know we can't do that.
Why not?
We need to make sure Nia's safe, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- That's the job you gave us
- Mm-hmm.
- as foster parents.
I-I want to do my job.
It's the state's job,
and this is about reunification.
These last few visits
were about rebuilding
a bond and a trust between
Nia and her biological mother.
Well, isn't there anything
you can tell us about her?
Nothing beyond the fact
that she's demonstrated
her ability to give Nia
a safe and stable home.
Demonstrate how?
We-we don't even know what she
did wrong in the first place.
What-what, was it, was it drugs?
Was she abusive? Neglectful? What?
Look, it is not uncommon for
foster parents to feel this way.
I mean, Nia has been
with you a long time.
Longer than we expected.
And the pandemic made it longer.
What are our options?
- For?
- For protecting Nia.
HEN: Our legal options.
Can we adopt her?
DEIDRA: Let me just stop you right here.
You've done a-an amazing job with Nia.
I wish I had a dozen more
foster families like you.
But the reunification of a child
and their birth parent is our main goal.
What if that birth
parent is still unfit?
DEIDRA: You have to trust
us. We wouldn't have started
this process if we thought
her mother wasn't ready.
And even after she
regains physical custody,
we don't just walk away.
There'll be follow-up visits, check-ins.
We will make sure she's safe.
Come back inside when you're ready.
And Carly will bring
Nia out after her visit.
And today, she goes home with you.
Hen? You need to calm down.
T-They're tearing our
family apart, Karen.
H-How can I stay calm?
How can you be calm?
Because this is the job.
It's what we signed up for.
- We knew, we
- I didn't know it would, it would feel like this.
We were supposed to foster
her for-for a few months.
It's been almost a year,
Karen. She's our daughter now.
I know.
- I know this is hard
- No, it's not hard.
It's wrong.
(phone chimes)
What the hell?
- JOSH: Oh!
- MAY: Oh, oh, my gosh.
MAY: Oh, I'm-I'm so sorry. I didn't,
- I didn't see you there.
- I'd say we need a traffic light there,
but I'm pretty sure you'd have
barreled through that, too.
Hey. Are you okay?
MAY: Um, yeah. I guess.
I just got this friend
request from someone
I used to go to high school with.
Just kind of caught me by surprise.
JOSH: Ah, a whole seven months ago.
How the time flies.
MAY: She transferred
out a few years back.
After bullying me and
making my life a living hell.
JOSH: You want me to respond to her?
I'm sure I could think
of a few choice ideas
- of where she can stick her friend request.
- Hey, it-it's okay.
Just I think I'm gonna ignore it.
You know, it's-it's been three years.
Doesn't really matter what
she has to say anymore.
Attagirl.
LINDA: You sure you
should be working nights
- when you're that pregnant?
- Oh, I figured staying up
all night would be good
practice for all the hours
I'm gonna be keeping
when the baby's born.
Well, you make me feel like
I should be calling OSHA
to report a labor violation.
(strains): Ooh. Don't say that word.
Whoa, are you having contractions?
Constantly.
But not real ones.
Braxton Hicks. I've been
having them all week,
and every time I think
something's gonna happen
- nothing.
- Ooh.
An emotional roller coaster.
Well, that would explain the nausea.
(laughs) You guys got a name yet?
CHIMNEY: Piper.
- MADDIE: No. No.
- Poppy.
- Princess?
- Yuck.
Priscilla.
Okay. That's it for the Ps.
Hey, should we s What?
Now I have to pee.
That wasn't my fault!
Uh, still TBD.
LINDA: Yeah, you might want
to "D" that a little faster.
When my mother went
to the hospital to have
my little brother, she didn't
have a name picked out, either.
Then she got all caught
up in the emotion,
named him after the nice doctor.
And my brother has been living
his entire life regretting it.
Oh, my God. What did she name him?
Norman.
Isn't your last name?
Bates.
Exactly.
(sighs) Hey, anybody got any
suggestions for baby names?
Not any of your names.
Uh, I thought you were just
gonna put names in a hat.
Yeah.
Okay, here we go.
"I really don't want to pick
our baby's name this way."
Okay, but that's never gonna
fit on her driver's license.
Maddie. Maddie!
Shannon and I didn't know what
we were gonna name Christopher.
Then we saw him and we knew.
Right. We're way ahead of our skis here.
(phone chiming)
BUCK: Uh, she didn't
- like that idea?
- I think she just called me a psycho.
(laughs)
Maddie still having false labor?
(exhales) I know kids are
supposed to test your patience,
but I thought she'd at least wait
until she was out of the womb.
Well, at least, you'll be well-prepared
- for her arrival.
- Oh, we are.
Baby toys, clothes, towels,
blankets, supplements.
- Freeze-dried rations.
- Rations?
BOBBY: What, do you hate
hospital food that much?
Hey, Wilson!
Could use a hand here.
No, in case the hospital loses power.
Ah.
Didn't we just restock the ambulance?
Well, yeah, but there's no such thing
as being too prepared, right?
Sure. Like there's any rhyme or reason
for the crap life throws at you.
The one and only. I'm Maddie.
- What's your name?
- Jacob.
Hi, Jacob. Are you okay?
- My mom's acting weird.
- Weird how?
I think she's lost. I asked
her but she won't talk to me.
Where are you calling from, Jacob?
- We're in the car.
- Is your mom driving?
Yeah.
- (horn honking)
- (tires screeching)
Can you put the phone on speaker
- so I can talk to your mom, Jacob?
- Okay.
Mom, there's a 911 lady
that wants to talk to you.
Ma'am, this is 911.
I understand you're having some trouble.
Please pull over and
we can send some help.
(crying): Mom, please.
(muttering)
Ma'am, can you hear me?
JACOB: She won't talk to anybody.
Mom, you got to talk to the lady.
(horn honking)
- (tires screeching)
- (horn honking)
- Jacob, what's happening?
- M-My mom just hit another car!
(horn honking)

Can you see where you are?
We're getting on the freeway.
But we're going the wrong way!

- WOMAN: I'm on the 710 and some idiot
- 911. What's your emergency?
MAN: I've got my kids
Can you see where you are?
JACOB: We're on the freeway.
(crying): But we're going the wrong way!
Dispatch to LAPD. We have a
motorist driving against traffic
in the northbound lanes
of the 710 freeway.
Intercept immediately.
Ma'am, you need to
pull over immediately.
(passing horn honking)
(horns honking)
SUE: CHP, this is Metro Dispatch.
You need to shut down the 710 north
just after exit 43.
We have a female motorist driving south
in the northbound lane.
Her son's with her in the car.
His name is Jacob.
CHP, please note,
there is a child in the vehicle.
Mom! Please!
We're going the wrong way!

Can you hear me?
Pull over! Now!
Mom! Please!
Mom! Please!

(siren wailing)
DISPATCH: All units responding
to incident on the 710.
ATHENA: Dispatch, show
727-L-30 approaching crash site
from the north side of the incident.
I'll report back after I rendezvous
- with the incident commander.
- Copy that, 727.
(siren wailing)
(siren stops)
MAN: All right, lift on three.
One, two, three.
BOBBY: Make sure everybody stays back
until the cars have been
de-energized and all the airbags
- have been checked.
- What's the count, Captain?
Well, three casualties so
far, at least a dozen injured.
Dispatch, send another
ten R.A. units here ASAP.
ATHENA: Oh. All this
because of one driver.
I take it this is the offending vehicle?
BOBBY: What's left of
it. We're still working
- on getting in there.
- You sure there's anyone in there left to save?
No verbal response. Can't
see past the side airbags.
But we picked up a heat signature.
Definitely a live occupant in the front.
Smaller heat signature in the back.
Dispatch says they got a call
from the driver's son, Jacob.
The kid's still in the car?
Go! Go! Jaws.
Check! One, two, three.
- (grunting)
- Buck, get in there.
(jaws of life whirring)
I got a visual on the driver.
Come on!
(straining)
No, no, no. The roof
is bent too far inwards.
I-I can't pull her out.
- Let's cut the whole top off.
- Let's get the saw! Let's go!
BOBBY: Okay, nice and easy, on three.
One, two, three.
Need more hands!
HEN: I've got eyes on the boy.
- He's still breathing.
- All right, Buck, get that Halligan.
(grunting)
BUCK: It's a miracle she's in one piece.
- The car's hugging her like a glove.
- Okay, Chim.
Okay. Young male victim.
Possible vertebrae break.
Eddie, get me a neck brace.
HEN: Pulse is steady.
Multiple lacerations.
Airbag burn.
(weakly): What ha-happened?
You think her slurred speech
is a symptom of her injuries?
- Can't be too sure yet.
- Dispatch says
she was acting odd
before the crash, too.
BOBBY: Chim, how's that kid looking?
Upper vertebra seems intact,
but his systolic blood pressure
is skyrocketing could be a TBI.
- Probably best to transport him in the seat.
- All right,
- make it safe and get him out.
- Copy that. All right.
BOBBY: Dispatch, contact
the Children's Hospital ER.
Have them prep for neurosurgery.
We've got a patient, Jacob,
approximately seven to eight years old,
coming in with a possible TBI.
RACHEL: Jacob?
Uh, Jacob is still in the back seat.
We're working on getting him out.
Ma'am, were you experiencing
any pain, disorientation
that may have led to your confusion?
I think I got something
that added to her confusion.
(sighs)
How many people
have to die tonight because
she was drunk and stupid?
(disgusted sigh)
Details to add to my report.
On three. One, two, three.
- (grunts)
- Got him?
Yeah.
(siren wailing in distance)
He's not conscious but he's alive.
All right, let's move him.
HEN: Drunk driving with
your only child in the car
You good here, Hen?
Not one bit, Cap.
But I got it.
It's our job, right?
Yeah.
(indistinct radio chatter)
(indistinct conversations)
Please remain calm.
We're gonna get you out
Hey! Renfrow!
Did you disable the airbags?
- It doesn't look like you did!
- What's that, Cap?
(high-pitched ringing)
- Cap, you good?
- Get Renfrow!
Renfrow.
(groans)
(groans) The driver
Did-did you get the driver?
We're working on it. Let's
focus on you, Renfrow.
Gonna get you some air, okay?
- I got him, I got him!
- Buck, get him out of there.
- That driver alive?
- I'm checking his pulse.
He's got a pulse, but
his skin is like paper.
- I-I need a burn blanket.
- Get the burn blanket!
Ready?
- You got him?
- Through the window, yeah.
You got his head?
Turn him.
CHIMNEY: Captain, we're
moving Renfrow now.
Burn unit's been advised.
Good, good.
Hen! Eddie!
How are you guys doing up there?
MAN (over phone): We haven't
moved in, like, 35 minutes.
- Was there an accident?
- Yes, there was an accident
on the freeway, and it seems
(groans) seems like
you're stuck behind it.
I'm type 1 diabetic, I've
been stuck in traffic forever
and my blood sugar's getting
super low feels like
- I might pass out in my car.
- Okay, let me contact LAFD.
Maybe they can
bring you a glucagon rescue kit.
What is the make and
(pained groan) plate of your vehicle?
Black Ford F-150.
- (groans)
- License plate: B93-F5.
Attention LAFD. There is a car
(groans) mile behind the pileup
that needs glucagon.
Black F-150.
(groans)
License plate
Bravo-nine-tree-fr
- (pained grunt)
- I'm sorry, Dispatch,
can you repeat that plate number?
- (weakly): Yeah, just a second.
- Hard to read you.
Plate reads: Bravo-9-3-Frank-5.
- Black F-150 pickup.
- Copy that. Sending an R.A. unit now.
Exactly how long have you been in labor?
- Hard to tell.
- (laughs) Weren't you a nurse?
(panting): I've got an hour left.
I got this.
I appreciate your dedication,
but I'm gonna have to
override you on this one.
(groaning quietly)
Which hospital is she going to?
- First Presbyterian on Altamont.
- All right.
I'll follow behind. Make
sure the hospital knows
she's gonna need her
BAC as soon as she lands.
- Athena
- Already got the warrant, Eddie.
It'll meet me at the hospital.
(sighs) Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm doing fine.
SUE (over radio): Captain
Nash, can you spare a paramedic
for a woman in labor at Dispatch Metro?
Pretty sure there are some paramedics
a lot closer to your location
- than we are.
- Yes, but none of them
are the baby's father.
(laughs softly)
We've got it from here,
Chim. Go meet your daughter.
You sure?
I'm following that ambulance.
You can ride with me.
Okay that one was
less than five minutes.
Yeah, you still think you
got another hour in you?
- Eh.
- Okay, here are your things.
My car's downstairs and
you are getting in it.
- Okay, what about Chim?
- Well, he's got a police escort.
He'll meet you there.
It just feels like it's going so fast.
You're nine and a half months pregnant.
It's not that fast.
- Oh! (groans)
- Oh, God.
(elevator bell dings)
Okay, wish me luck.
ATHENA: Good luck.
Word of advice? If she
tells you to shut up,
shut up.
- Copy that.
- (chuckles)
WYATT: No, no, no, no.
I-I don't understand.
What do you mean I can't see her?
- She's here, right?
- Yes, your wife is here,
but as I explained already,
her room is currently listed
- as secured.
- Secured?
- What does that even mean?
- Everything okay here?
Uh, this gentleman is here
to see Rachel Hawkerson.
She's my wife. I got a
call that she and my son
were in some kind of accident,
but nobody will tell me
anything, except that my son
is at a different hospital
and I can't see my wife.
Sir, they were part of the
collision on the 710 freeway.
The-the big pileup?
Yes.
Can we go somewhere
quiet where we can talk?
- I want to see my wife.
- I'm afraid you can't do that right now.
Your wife's room is secure
because she's in our custody
while we investigate the
cause of tonight's accident.
The cau
Right.
(exhales)
On the news,
they said it was a drunk driver.
ATHENA: Yes.
No.
No.
She wouldn't do that.
Not with Jacob in the car.
She promised me.
Sometimes, we break our promises.
Okay.
Yes. Uh, thank you.
How's your son?
He's still in surgery.
I, uh
I need to get over there.
I can have an officer take you.
Did she say anything?
Rachel? At the scene?
She wasn't really coherent.
You didn't know she was drinking?
I thought all this was behind us.
She tried
so many times to stay sober.
It almost broke our marriage.
But then
then Jacob.
And I thought
I thought, "Finally,
she'll have a reason not to drink."
I don't know what I'm gonna tell him.
Is there Is there any
way you're wrong about this?
She had a BAC of .28 when she arrived.
Four times the legal limit.
Probably higher at
the time of the crash.
That would account
for her disorientation
from your son's 911 call.
(voice breaking): Jacob's
the one who called 911?
(crying)
My poor boy.
(sobbing)
You didn't know.
I should have.
I'm here! I'm here. I didn't
- miss it, did I?
- HELLER: Any longer, you might have.
You're fully effaced
and at ten centimeters.
We're ready to rock. We're
gonna grab a few things,
and we'll get started.

- Are you okay? Can I do anything for you?
- (groans)
- I can shut up. I mean, I can try.
- (groans)
No, no, you're fine.
You know what I need
is my breathing beads.
They're in the baby bag. Where is that?
They're not here. I left
them in Albert's car.
- Ugh!
- You know what?
I can call him real
fast. Maybe he can run it
back over here. Come
on, come on, come on.

- Captain Nash,
we received a call from a driver
who says he was in the pileup
claiming he's still trapped in his car.
I believe we already
extricated everybody involved.
Are they sure they were in this crash?
The line went dead before we
could get too many details.
We'll try to reconnect with him now.

and his condition is stable.
Oh, thank God.
I mean, could you
imagine? Today of all days.
Well, luckily, we don't have to.
Go get some rest.
Thanks, Sue. Good
night. Morning. Whatever.
(quietly): Hey, Buck.
It's good to see you.
The hospital has a strict
no visitor policy right now.
I-I know. Hey, Chimney
CHIMNEY: The girls are both doing great.
Maddie was a warrior in there.
Oh, hey, where'd you get that?
Is Albert here?
Oh, hey. Good morning.
The kids are still brushing their teeth,
but pancakes should be done in five.
HEN: You packed her bag?
Yeah. Overnight visit, remember?
Social worker will be by this afternoon.
No, no, not tonight.
Ton I need to sleep tonight
and-and know that she's safe.
Hen (exhales) we can't stop this.
How could you just stand there?
- What?
- Nia. Nia's
damn near crying her eyes out,
and you just write it off
like it happens every day.
And the social worker tells
us there's nothing we could do,
and you just stand there.
Why don't you want to fight this, Karen?
You think I don't want to?
It doesn't seem like it.
It seems like you've
already accepted it.
Y-You're making pancakes,
you're packing bags.
Wh-What are you doing?
Don't you dare.
Tell me why you don't
want to fight this!
Because there is no fight.
She has a mother.
She's not ours,
even if we love her like she is.
You want to know what I'm doing?
I'm holding on.
That is all I am doing,
holding on.
Please don't make me do it alone.
(shudders)
- NIA: Come on.
- (footsteps approaching)
KAREN: Hey! Guess who's here! (sniffles)
NIA: Mama Hen!
(monitor beeping steadily)
(exhales)
I mean, I've been at a lot
of deliveries before, but
(chuckles softly)
this one really did
seem kind of miraculous.
(chuckles)
I guess all dads feel that way.
I am a dad. (chuckles)
How crazy is that?
I can't wait for you to meet her.
Still doesn't have a name though.
I don't suppose you
have any suggestions?
Yeah, I'm kind of stumped, too.
What about Alberta?
Or Albertina?
I thought for sure I'd
get a response on that one.
Listen
(inhales shakily)
I know you're tired and
you've had a really crappy day,
but (exhales)
I kind of need you to wake
up here and tell me you're okay,
'cause your doctors are giving
me some real serious looks
and expressing their concerns.
But they don't know us Hans.
(sniffles)
We are excellent healers.
So you're gonna be all right,
'cause you're my brother.
(exhales)
And I don't know when that went
from being a biological fact
to an emotional reality for me, but
there's no turning back now.
You know, I finally have
everything I ever wanted.
A family of my own.
Maddie.
The baby.
And you.
Yep. Today could be
the best day of my life.
'Cause I have my beautiful baby girl
(shudders)
and my brother didn't die. (chuckles)
In fact, he woke up and he
told me he was gonna be okay.
(shuddering)
So you just open your eyes, Albert.
(shuddering)
(sighs)
Please.

Husband says he had no idea that

Not sure if I believe him.
Well, could be true.

Hello, Baby Girl Han.
You were right. We should
have picked a name sooner.
I can't believe they discharged you
without something for
the birth certificate.
I picked a name.
I'm sorry. Don't be mad. I
had to give them something.
I'm not sure if I'm mad or relieved.
Pressure's off.
It's not something
I'm gonna hate, is it?

It's Jee-Yun.
That's my mother's name.
I called Mrs. Lee to tell
her about the baby and Albert.

his mother was here to see her."

what her name was.

Jee-Yun Buckley Han.
It's pretty good, right?

Yeah, me, too.
God, talk about bad luck.

No.
I'm starting to think we're
just the luckiest people ever.

Yeah.
Hi, Jee-Yun. Hi.
