Private Practice s04e10 Episode Script
Just Lose It
I'm not charging him.
Sorry.
I heard you.
But what do you mean, you're not charging him? Look, mister-- dr.
Freedman.
Dr.
Cooper freedman.
This is dr.
Charlotte king.
The man you should be charging is lee mchenry.
Do you know the case? Okay, we'd like another lawyer-- Someone who knows what they're doing, someone good.
Ms.
King's first statement to the police Was that she was robbed-- not raped, robbed.
She lied to the police, which taints her as a witness.
The rape kit wasn't processed Until two weeks after the alleged rape, Which taints the evidence.
Ms.
King failed to identify lee mchenry in the first lineup.
The second lineup came only after a dr.
Sheldon wallace, From your practice, spoke to lee mchenry, So that's also tainted.
And, ms.
King, I mean no disrespect, But you're a sex therapist with a history of meeting strange men From the internet for what can at best be described As fetishistic sexual encounters.
I know the case.
Mr.
Freedman, I graduated first in my class from stanford.
I have a 90% conviction rate here in the d.
A.
's office, so I'm pretty damn good, Which is why I can say to you without hesitation That there is no way this office is going to charge lee mchenry.
I'm sorry.
Have a nice day.
this is the ribbon cutting ceremony Of the new hospital in western india.
This was also the day that olivia sat up on her own For the first time.

Blood pressure stabilized.
Her history includes preeclampsia and drug addiction.
Every ten months, right on schedule.

Gets knocked up every year or so, Then shows up in the e.
R.
When she's close to term.
Hey, I don't have any cash on me.
Do-- I do, I do, I do.
Technically, it's my turn, right? 'cause you did the last two, And charlotte did the one before that.
Wh-wh-why do we need cash? We give her 50 bucks, she gives up her baby.
What? It's-- well, no, no, I mean, first I offer her rehab and therapy.
I give her the lecture on sobriety, blah, blah, blah.
And then you lecture about safe sex, offer to put in one of Those implant-y birth control things that go in her arm, Blah, blah, blah, she will refuse, Then you will deliver the baby, And then pete, because she only likes pete, Will give her $50, and she'll give us the baby.
Well, she likes me Because I've helped her get clean, what, like, three times? Yeah.
Not that it ever lasts more than a week.
Anyway, it shouldn't take too long.
I'll get social services on the phone, Let 'em know we got one coming.
Okay, I'll get the paperwork for her to sign.
So you want to examine her first, Or you want me to do my shrink dance first? What? Cooper.
Hey.
Naomi.
Welcome back.
Hey.
I am so sorry I couldn't come when I heard about charlotte.
How you holding up? We, uh, we're good.
Yeah? Okay.
Dealing.
Yeah.
Oh, my god.
Look, justin taylor.
Yeah? I haven't seen this kid in, like, three years.
I thought he had moved or something.
He's He's one of the good ones.
He used to make me these great mix cds-- Dr.
Freedman.
It's me, justin.
I brought you this playlist.
Oh, yeah? All sick indie bands, Including death finger's new track.
Awesome.
Thank you.
Hey, how'd you get here? I took the bus.
And your parents, do they know you're here? I-I didn't want to bother them.
They're busy, you know, at work.
Okay, okay.
Justin, I'm concerned Because you've gained a lot of weight Since the last time I saw you-- a significant amount of weight.
I know.
I keep getting bigger, And it's gotten harder to get around, Like, a lot harder just recently.
Okay.
Can you get on the scale for me? It's okay.
It's just you and me.
How much? You've gained 282 pounds.
Oh, man.
It's okay.
It's okay.
We just need to talk about it, okay? Come on.
And how many weeks along are you? Uh, eight months maybe.
How many weeks is that? I'm not so good with math.
Or prenatal care.
Are you taking any prenatal vitamins this time? Getting exams at any of those free clinics we told you about? I've been busy.
The ultrasound puts the baby at 37 weeks.
Heartbeat's strong.
But your pressure is still a little on the high side, So I'd like to keep you overnight for observation.
Because the baby is breech, We'll have to do a c-section tomorrow.
Okay.
Looks like you get three hots and a cot this time, emily.
So I will tell dr.
King to hold off d.
C.
F.
S.
For picking up the baby till tomorrow.
No.
I don't want d.
C.
F.
S.
To come.
I didn't ask you to do that.
Look, those other times, I was an addict.
I-I didn't have a place to live.
I had issues.
you had issues? You can't take away this baby.
I got clean a month or two before I even got knocked up, And--and I've been trying to quit smoking.
I swear.
Do any drug test you want.
Look, this baby, it's gonna be healthy, and I want to keep it.
Emily, that is not a good idea.
I'll do whatever you want.
Please.
I want to keep this baby.
Dr.
Montgomery, please don't let her take away my baby.
No one is gonna take away your baby.
Okay? I'm gonna help you.
Hello, mr.
And mrs.
Taylor.
I'm dr.
Bennett.
How is it possible that he is this fat? uh, well, we-- we are concerned.
Justin is diabetic, and he has high blood pressure.
And that puts him at risk For even more serious medical complications.
He's lazy and he doesn't want to lose weight.
I have no control over what he does or doesn't do.
You're his parents.
That's your job.
What dr.
Freedman means is that Justin needs proper nutrition and exercise And medication compliance to get his health back on track.
We sent him to fat camp, we hired a nutritionist, And we got him a trainer.
Could it be a thyroid condition or a tumor on some gland? We ran tests and ruled out Any underlying causes for the weight gain.
I don't want to get any bigger.
I don't feel good.
he sneaks food.
I find candy wrappers under your bed all the time.
He's trying, bruce.
look, could we just stop And try to be constructive? Are you still gonna be saying that When he's 600 pounds, dr.
Freedman? I mean, I-I'd put a lock on the fridge If I didn't think he'd eat it off.
Justin? Are you okay? I feel a little dizzy.
Justin.
justin! his pulse is sky high.
Yeah.
I'll get oxygen.
Okay.
Get me an I.
V.
Cart and call an ambulance, please.
Here.
People can change, violet.
I know you believe that.
Why not emily? We have tried, addison, again and again.
But it won't take because she doesn't want it to.
Ten minutes after I get her clean, she goes out to score.
I-I beg a shelter to find a bed for her, And she never shows up.
The best thing would be if she stopped Having babies altogether.
We should tie her tubes.
You're doing her c-section tomorrow.
You could do it then.
I am not gonna sterilize a woman without her knowledge.
I need her consent.
Well, it's the only way to keep her From coming back pregnant in a year.
Okay, okay, look, emily is a disaster.
No one wants to see her coming back pregnant, But addison is right.
She has to sign off on the sterilization.
Just because emily's made bad decisions Doesn't mean that we take away her right to have children.
Why are we only discussing her rights? What about david's rights? Who's david? Her firstborn.
Eight weeks premature.
He went blind from being on a ventilator.
He's been in seven homes in six years.
Turns out he's not only blind.
He's autistic.
Brad was second.
He's severely disabled due to fetal alcohol syndrome.
He's in a home for special needs kids.
Then there's April, who's--well, she's still in foster care, 'cause who wants a crack baby? And then There's daniel, Who survived for 16 excruciating days in n.
I.
C.
U.
Before he succumbed to short bowel syndrome.
I signed his death certificate myself.
You think she wants this baby? She doesn't want this baby.
She has an angle.
She always has an angle.
She's not gonna change, addison.
Tie her tubes.
Without her consent, I can't.
I'm sorry.
I won't do it.
Justin.
How is he? Um, his blood sugar spiked, Which caused profound dehydration And electrolyte abnormalities.
He's gonna wake up, right? Uh, well, yeah.
He's-- He's a little bit disoriented and confused, but he should Respond to treatment within the next 12 hours.
We're gonna bring down his blood sugar, but slowly.
but he'll be all right.
I mean, he's not gonna die.
well, that depends on what you're willing to do.
He's a teenager with the health of a 70 year old.
He could stroke out at any minute.
He's at risk for a heart attack.
you coddle him too much.
You always have.
I love him.
I'm not like you-- The way you look at him with such disgust.
I mean, how do you think that makes him feel? Of course he eats.
He needs comfort.
What he needs is discipline.
You make him think it's okay to inhale all the crap he wants.
Okay, why don't-- Why don't we go into the lounge and discuss this? I don't want to talk to you.
And I don't want you around my baby.
I'm going back to work.
You're leaving? Hey.
Is everything okay here? Yeah.
I was just checking up on emily.
Your tox screens came back negative, And you don't have any s.
T.
D.
S.
I told you this baby was healthy.
I've been thinking, after the delivery, You should tie my tubes.
Did you come up with that idea on your own? I've just been going over the basics, the anatomy-- Did he also explain that this is a permanent choice? That's the point, right? Emily, there are other forms of birth control that Would preserve the option of having children in the future.
We went over all the options.
This is her decision.
Sorry.
I have to get back to the e.
R.
If he pressured you in any way, I-- He didn't.
What he said makes sense.
And I want to give this baby and me the best possible shot.
So do it, dr.
Montgomery.
Tie my tubes.
You think pete bribed her? That's what they do with emily.
They give her money to get her to do what they want.
Well, that's one way of helping.
What, you think she should keep the baby? I mean, do you think that she wants to change? I would like to help emily improve her life.
So you think pete, violet, and charlotte couldn't, But--but you can? I'd like to try.
Is this for your sake or for hers? What's that supposed to mean? W-- What? I'm supposed to filter.
Oh, just say it.
Okay.
This is the baby thing, right? She told you she wants a baby, and you didn't say anything, And even though she told you not to say anything, She's mad that you didn't say anything, and so now sh-- ah.
Filter.
I have got to get my own life.
My 15-year-old patient-- justin-- Gained 300 pounds in 3 years, And mommy and daddy were too busy to notice.
So you're blaming the parents? You wouldn't? Well, in all fairness, justin is the one Putting the food in his mouth.
Well, no, I get that he's eating, But the parents let it get too far.
so did he.
Whoa.
Shrink mind meld.
Creepy.
Give me back my fries.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Hey, there she is.
There she is.
Hi.
Oh, hey.
Hey.
Oh, hey.
How's she doing? Sweetie.
Yeah.
Hey.
How you doing? Oh, first day of the rest of my life.
Feel good? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
You saw that, right? It's not just me? You saw that? The clichés-- she only speaks in clichés.
She's got a million of 'em.
And the smiley thing? Well, she's certainly Chipper.
But charlotte's not a smiley person.
Exactly.
Well, it's a--it's a coping mechanism, coop.
Okay, but she's not coping.
What do I do? Mm-hmm.
Where's your mind meld now, bitches? How much did you pay emily to get her tubes tied? She said yes to $250.
I would've gone higher.
Pete, completely unethical.
There are nonprofits in all 50 states Offering drug-addicted women financial incentives To have their tubes tied.
Yeah, but we don't work for those organizations.
We're doctors.
And there are three million cases of child abuse a year.
Drug and alcohol abuse Are a contributing factor in most of them.
Usually you're more practical than this.
Emily isn't just some statistic.
She's a woman, okay, who could wake up ten years from now, Still clean and sober, And wish that she could have another child.
Okay, look, I fully recognize That what we're doing is unethical, possibly illegal.
I understand that.
But you know me.
You know violet.
She's the one that can't stop herself From helping criminals, pedophiles, you name it.
If the two of us are saying that emily is a lost cause, Doesn't that tell you something? Yes.
hi.
Hi, baby.
I didn't realize this was a play date.
Oh, I gave maya the night off.
aren't you? You're so smart.
She is super smart.
Yes.
Yes, you're so smart.
are you tired, too? A little-- Well, it's because you're gonna run the world someday.
I know.
It's true.
all right, it's my turn.
My turn, my turn, my turn.
that's your auntie vi.
Yeah.
oh, I miss lucas being this little.
Is charlotte coming? no.
She declined, but gracefully.
Yes, she's speaking in bumper sticker slogans, Which either means she's internalized The help that we've been offering her Or we need start Planning escape routes in case she goes postal.
Okay, okay, my turn again.
Come on.
All right.
yes, the sweetest girl.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
There you are.
There you are.
Hi, sweetie.
Oh, she is so gorgeous.
Yes, you are.
You are gorgeous, little girl.
Okay, that's it.
where you going? No offense, But I did not come here for "the vagina monologues.
" what? What? oh, not "the vagina monologues.
" Did you ever think we'd be these women-- Passing around a baby like it's good drugs? Being the kind of women that women like amelia run from? I was always, always this woman.
I want a baby.
yes, I do.
I do.
it's probably not gonna happen for me, though.
no, it's not.
I have bad ovaries and one sad-- yes one sad, lonely egg, And sam No.
Go for it.
"eat pray love.
" I don't think sam wants any more children.
Have one without him.
I want to have one with him.
I do.
Yes, I do.
Well, the man makes really good babies.
My turn.

There you go.
There you are.
There you go.
Yeah.
Hello, sweetie.
Hello.
I was good at it, too.
Hey, come on, guys.
I told you not to light 'em.
Come on.
They're cuban.
Well, we certainly wouldn't want to let castro down.
I could have an asthma attack.
I will be the first to stick an epipen in your thigh.
Oh, god.
Fine.
No cigars.
I'm dealing.
Hello, men.
why are you here? Uteruses next door be crazy.
Any objections? * no lovelorn prince would ever dare * Why are you looking at cooper? W-why is she looking at cooper? Cooper told me to stay away from him, Which is all I'm going to say, because for once You are filtering.
I am filtering.
Ah.

* ambivalent in c * Welcome to the game.
So what are we talking about-- chicks, boobs chicks and their boobs? we were talking about cigars.
Before that, we were talking about babies.
What? addison wants a baby.
Which isn't surprising, the way she took to lucas.
What do you want, sam? I want to make addison happy, but, uh, I've already done the daddy thing.
So does that make me selfish? Am I--am I self-- am I being selfish? No.
Life sucks Sometimes.
You don't want another kid.
Addison wants a kid.
I want a kid.
Charlotte's too damaged to want a kid, Or too damaged to have a kid, or too damaged to have the sex That makes a kid.
Oh, my god.
You are men-- Hot, interesting men.
Please be dirty and manly and sexist.
Give a girl a break.
I beg of you.
* better * * whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh * * oh, oh, oh * * oh, oh * * oh * Hey.

I'm so Please.
Sweetie, I'm sorry.
Are we gonna talk about this? Talk about what? The baby thing.
* or all that you need * * with someone * There's nothing to talk about.
Addison-- No.
I gotta get to the hospital.
I have a c-section to do.
Addison-- Not now.
Okay? Just If you're gonna take babies away from me, Just Not now.
* ships on the shoreline * Okay.

She doesn't seem to care about anything.
I wasn't asking about charlotte.
I want to know how you feel.

Addison-- shh.
addison, she signed the consent form.
She didn't want it.
You did.
You wanted this for her, and I We can't just pay someone to tie their tubes, Or at least I can't.
We'll get another doctor to do it.
You'd do that to me? Really? To you? Uh, pardon the shrink in me, but-- Violet, she wants to turn her life around Because of this child.
She told me that.
She can do it.
She just needs help and support, Which is what the shrink in you should be giving her.
You're just banging your head against the wall.
Yeah? Well, it's my head.
Talk to her.
Do this for me.
* I wish I * Okay.
I'll do it.
* more time * * and more words to say * * but I'll * * be * * right * * as rain * Hey.
Where's my mom? She had to leave for a little while, But your dad's in the waiting room.
Is he mad at me? No.
No, he just had to make some calls.
I got this friend.
Something bad happened to her, Something that shouldn't Happen to anyone.
And the thing I want most in the world Is to help her feel better.
But she won't talk to me.
She won't talk to anyone.
I can tell she's in pain.
And I really think that if she just opened up, Everything would change, Because then she wouldn't be alone.
And the two of us together, we could figure out what to do, You know? Well, I'm your friend, too, justin.
I want to help you, too.
If I keep eating, I'll get bigger Which is what I wanted.
But now It is out of control.
Why would you want that? I just I just don't want to get touched anymore.
Dr.
Freedman.
His blood sugar slowly So that he comes out-- ugh! Cooper! What are you doing? Stop it! Coop! Would somebody please help me? Stop it! Get off of him! Cooper, get off of him! Let go of me! Get your hands off me! Let him go.

I'll--I'll fix it, okay? Charlotte? Charlotte, are you okay? No.
But I'm trying to be for cooper.
He needs me to be okay.
But he hates me now, or resents me, or I don't know.
Charlotte, I am so sorry this happened to you.
Nothing like being raped To make your day all shiny and bright.
Charlotte, I'm gonna tell you this ahead of time Because I don't want you to be surprised, But, um, I'm gonna hug you.
Stand up.
You don't need to do-- Charlotte king, I am going to hug you.

Okay.
Hey.
Hey.
These pain meds are good.
Thanks, doc.
Would you like to see your baby? Is dr.
Wilder here? Is he coming? Emily, um Dr.
Montgomery didn't tie your tubes.
What? She doesn't think that she should tie your tubes Just because dr.
Wilder paid you money.
I've got rights.
I signed a consent form.
You gotta do it.
I signed a consent form.
I need that money.
Violet, what-- okay, what if I paid you $250 for no reason? Would you still want your tubes tied? Would I get another $250 if I did? No.
you still want the surgery? Do you? No! What if I offered you $250 to give me your baby? She's a healthy baby.
She's a good one.
She's a good baby.
Violet.
That's enough.
Come on.
Let's go.
She's worth way more than $250.
$500.
I'll sell her for $500.
I think we're done here.
Hey, where's my money? Where's my money?! Look, I know you don't understand this.
I know you think I'm being callous and unfeeling and awful.
But I have been dealing with emily For six years.
I believe people can change.
You know I do.
But that woman Addison, she makes me believe in hell.
She makes me need to believe in hell So that she can go there.
But I am Sorry I mean.
Dr.
Freedman-- No, no, I-I don't want you anywhere near me or my son.
I'm having you arrested.
Fine, we can share a cell, Because I am telling the police what you've been doing to him.
You should leave, dr.
Freedman.
Justin, justin, I promise you, he will never touch you again.
No, it's--it's not I-I didn't mean it was my dad.
Justin, Don't worry about this, baby.
It's okay, honey.
I'll take care of it.
It's okay, baby.
I'll take care of this, okay? I'll fix everything.
Pam? He's just confused.
It's all these medications that they have him on.
Pam, sit down.
Uh, you can't-- sit down.
Are you serious? How could--how could you do that to our son? He loves me.

Okay.
Justin, this is dr.
Wallace.
He's a therapist, and, uh, He's here to talk to you about, uh Your feelings.
I don't want to talk about it.
Because talking about it got your mom arrested? It was my fault.
That's not true.
What your mother did to you, No one should ever have to live with that.
But we can talk about that.
We can talk about anything you want.
You want me not to be fat.
Fat was your protection.
That was smart, and it was brave, But, justin, you don't have to be protected anymore.
All right? You're safe.
I don't know how to stop.
Dad, I'm sorry.
I-- Don't.
Please.
I-I didn't know, justin, what your mother I didn't see it.
It's okay.
don't tell him that.
Don't bury it.
Tell him the truth.
Why? You're my father.
You're supposed to protect me.
Why didn't you protect me? * I love you.
And I failed.
And I hope that someday * can you forgive me? * * stop me * * if you've heard * * this one * This is your baby.
You can hold her if you want.

My girlfriend gets attacked.
She wants to go home, I take her home.
She wants to go to work, I drive her.
I found out she wasn't just attacked, she was raped.
She tells me she doesn't want to I.
D.
The guy, I say, "okay, don't I.
D.
The guy.
" I'm cheerful, I'm attentive, I make breakfast for her every morning.
My job right now is good man in the storm.
I get that.
I'm good with that.
I want that.
* our resignation * But the charlotte I fell in love with Is gone.
She doesn't exist anymore.
The laughing, the sharing in the good and bad of the day, Holding each other-- That's all over.
It's like It's like she's dead.
It's like charlotte is dead, And I have the good-man-in-the-storm job.
I am the fiancé of the victim.
My job is to hold up the corpse that was once charlotte And smile.
* Can you help me with that? * * flowers are lasting * * and we're reborn untested * Is it the hospital? Oh! It's bizzy.
Bizzy.
It's three hours earlier here.

Bizzy.
What's going on? * I need your help.
Sorry.
I heard you.
But what do you mean, you're not charging him? Look, mister-- dr.
Freedman.
Dr.
Cooper freedman.
This is dr.
Charlotte king.
The man you should be charging is lee mchenry.
Do you know the case? Okay, we'd like another lawyer-- Someone who knows what they're doing, someone good.
Ms.
King's first statement to the police Was that she was robbed-- not raped, robbed.
She lied to the police, which taints her as a witness.
The rape kit wasn't processed Until two weeks after the alleged rape, Which taints the evidence.
Ms.
King failed to identify lee mchenry in the first lineup.
The second lineup came only after a dr.
Sheldon wallace, From your practice, spoke to lee mchenry, So that's also tainted.
And, ms.
King, I mean no disrespect, But you're a sex therapist with a history of meeting strange men From the internet for what can at best be described As fetishistic sexual encounters.
I know the case.
Mr.
Freedman, I graduated first in my class from stanford.
I have a 90% conviction rate here in the d.
A.
's office, so I'm pretty damn good, Which is why I can say to you without hesitation That there is no way this office is going to charge lee mchenry.
I'm sorry.
Have a nice day.
this is the ribbon cutting ceremony Of the new hospital in western india.
This was also the day that olivia sat up on her own For the first time.
Maya and I skyped.
That's incredible.
That's quite an accomplishment.
The hospital, I mean.
But olivia's great, too.
Yeah.
and here, the foundation is delivering A boatload of mosquito nets to tanzania.
Wow.
Boatload.
It's an actual boat loaded with mosquito nets.
That's so cool.
Actually, that's where I was when I found out about, Uh, betsey's aunt abandoning her.
Um This is laos, and here, we were able to deliver Enough vaccine to immunize 2,000 children.
Wow.
Yeah, and that's where I was When I found out about charlotte.
Yeah, a lot Has happened since you've been gone.
Uh, oh.
I have a patient.
It was great to see you, nai.
Yeah.
All right.
What was that? Nothing.
You look amazing.
I mean, for someone you do.
Who's trekked across three continents oh, you know, I just-- I'm all "eat pray love," you know? I'm--I'm, uh, very zen.

Okay.
Good.
I just want to make sure that you feel Like you're in control of what happens.
This is your case.
You know, you have the right to feel safe.
I'm in the driver's seat now.
Of course you are.
And I know recovery is a process, So it's okay if you're not fine.
But we will get through it, together.
You know, it's a marathon, not a sprint.
Right.
And we can go back there, We can make the d.
A.
Charge him.
I don't know how, but I will think of something.
It's always darkest before the dawn.
It's always darkest before the dawn.
Emily wendal presented with hypertension and early labor.
Treated with labetalol.
Blood pressure stabilized.
Her history includes preeclampsia and drug addiction.
Every ten months, right on schedule.
I heard emily's back.
What, is she famous? she's a frequent flyer.
Gets knocked up every year or so, Then shows up in the e.
R.
When she's close to term.
Hey, I don't have any cash on me.
Do-- I do, I do, I do.
Technically, it's my turn, right? 'cause you did the last two, And charlotte did the one before that.
Wh-wh-why do we need cash? We give her 50 bucks, she gives up her baby.
What? It's-- well, no, no, I mean, first I offer her rehab and therapy.
I give her the lecture on sobriety, blah, blah, blah.
And then you lecture about safe sex, offer to put in one of Those implant-y birth control things that go in her arm, Blah, blah, blah, she will refuse, Then you will deliver the baby, And then pete, because she only likes pete, Will give her $50, and she'll give us the baby.
Well, she likes me Because I've helped her get clean, what, like, three times? Yeah.
Not that it ever lasts more than a week.
Anyway, it shouldn't take too long.
I'll get social services on the phone, Let 'em know we got one coming.
Okay, I'll get the paperwork for her to sign.
So you want to examine her first, Or you want me to do my shrink dance first? What? Cooper.
Hey.
Naomi.
Welcome back.
Hey.
I am so sorry I couldn't come when I heard about charlotte.
How you holding up? We, uh, we're good.
Yeah? Okay.
Dealing.
Yeah.
Oh, my god.
Look, justin taylor.
Yeah? I haven't seen this kid in, like, three years.
I thought he had moved or something.
He's He's one of the good ones.
He used to make me these great mix cds-- Dr.
Freedman.
It's me, justin.
I brought you this playlist.
Oh, yeah? All sick indie bands, Including death finger's new track.
Awesome.
Thank you.
Hey, how'd you get here? I took the bus.
And your parents, do they know you're here? I-I didn't want to bother them.
They're busy, you know, at work.
Okay, okay.
Justin, I'm concerned Because you've gained a lot of weight Since the last time I saw you-- a significant amount of weight.
I know.
I keep getting bigger, And it's gotten harder to get around, Like, a lot harder just recently.
Okay.
Can you get on the scale for me? It's okay.
It's just you and me.
How much? You've gained 282 pounds.
Oh, man.
It's okay.
It's okay.
We just need to talk about it, okay? Come on.
And how many weeks along are you? Uh, eight months maybe.
How many weeks is that? I'm not so good with math.
Or prenatal care.
Are you taking any prenatal vitamins this time? Getting exams at any of those free clinics we told you about? I've been busy.
The ultrasound puts the baby at 37 weeks.
Heartbeat's strong.
But your pressure is still a little on the high side, So I'd like to keep you overnight for observation.
Because the baby is breech, We'll have to do a c-section tomorrow.
Okay.
Looks like you get three hots and a cot this time, emily.
So I will tell dr.
King to hold off d.
C.
F.
S.
For picking up the baby till tomorrow.
No.
I don't want d.
C.
F.
S.
To come.
I didn't ask you to do that.
Look, those other times, I was an addict.
I-I didn't have a place to live.
I had issues.
you had issues? You can't take away this baby.
I got clean a month or two before I even got knocked up, And--and I've been trying to quit smoking.
I swear.
Do any drug test you want.
Look, this baby, it's gonna be healthy, and I want to keep it.
Emily, that is not a good idea.
I'll do whatever you want.
Please.
I want to keep this baby.
Dr.
Montgomery, please don't let her take away my baby.
No one is gonna take away your baby.
Okay? I'm gonna help you.
Hello, mr.
And mrs.
Taylor.
I'm dr.
Bennett.
How is it possible that he is this fat? uh, well, we-- we are concerned.
Justin is diabetic, and he has high blood pressure.
And that puts him at risk For even more serious medical complications.
He's lazy and he doesn't want to lose weight.
I have no control over what he does or doesn't do.
You're his parents.
That's your job.
What dr.
Freedman means is that Justin needs proper nutrition and exercise And medication compliance to get his health back on track.
We sent him to fat camp, we hired a nutritionist, And we got him a trainer.
Could it be a thyroid condition or a tumor on some gland? We ran tests and ruled out Any underlying causes for the weight gain.
I don't want to get any bigger.
I don't feel good.
he sneaks food.
I find candy wrappers under your bed all the time.
He's trying, bruce.
look, could we just stop And try to be constructive? Are you still gonna be saying that When he's 600 pounds, dr.
Freedman? I mean, I-I'd put a lock on the fridge If I didn't think he'd eat it off.
Justin? Are you okay? I feel a little dizzy.
Justin.
justin! his pulse is sky high.
Yeah.
I'll get oxygen.
Okay.
Get me an I.
V.
Cart and call an ambulance, please.
Here.
People can change, violet.
I know you believe that.
Why not emily? We have tried, addison, again and again.
But it won't take because she doesn't want it to.
Ten minutes after I get her clean, she goes out to score.
I-I beg a shelter to find a bed for her, And she never shows up.
The best thing would be if she stopped Having babies altogether.
We should tie her tubes.
You're doing her c-section tomorrow.
You could do it then.
I am not gonna sterilize a woman without her knowledge.
I need her consent.
Well, it's the only way to keep her From coming back pregnant in a year.
Okay, okay, look, emily is a disaster.
No one wants to see her coming back pregnant, But addison is right.
She has to sign off on the sterilization.
Just because emily's made bad decisions Doesn't mean that we take away her right to have children.
Why are we only discussing her rights? What about david's rights? Who's david? Her firstborn.
Eight weeks premature.
He went blind from being on a ventilator.
He's been in seven homes in six years.
Turns out he's not only blind.
He's autistic.
Brad was second.
He's severely disabled due to fetal alcohol syndrome.
He's in a home for special needs kids.
Then there's April, who's--well, she's still in foster care, 'cause who wants a crack baby? And then There's daniel, Who survived for 16 excruciating days in n.
I.
C.
U.
Before he succumbed to short bowel syndrome.
I signed his death certificate myself.
You think she wants this baby? She doesn't want this baby.
She has an angle.
She always has an angle.
She's not gonna change, addison.
Tie her tubes.
Without her consent, I can't.
I'm sorry.
I won't do it.
Justin.
How is he? Um, his blood sugar spiked, Which caused profound dehydration And electrolyte abnormalities.
He's gonna wake up, right? Uh, well, yeah.
He's-- He's a little bit disoriented and confused, but he should Respond to treatment within the next 12 hours.
We're gonna bring down his blood sugar, but slowly.
but he'll be all right.
I mean, he's not gonna die.
well, that depends on what you're willing to do.
He's a teenager with the health of a 70 year old.
He could stroke out at any minute.
He's at risk for a heart attack.
you coddle him too much.
You always have.
I love him.
I'm not like you-- The way you look at him with such disgust.
I mean, how do you think that makes him feel? Of course he eats.
He needs comfort.
What he needs is discipline.
You make him think it's okay to inhale all the crap he wants.
Okay, why don't-- Why don't we go into the lounge and discuss this? I don't want to talk to you.
And I don't want you around my baby.
I'm going back to work.
You're leaving? Hey.
Is everything okay here? Yeah.
I was just checking up on emily.
Your tox screens came back negative, And you don't have any s.
T.
D.
S.
I told you this baby was healthy.
I've been thinking, after the delivery, You should tie my tubes.
Did you come up with that idea on your own? I've just been going over the basics, the anatomy-- Did he also explain that this is a permanent choice? That's the point, right? Emily, there are other forms of birth control that Would preserve the option of having children in the future.
We went over all the options.
This is her decision.
Sorry.
I have to get back to the e.
R.
If he pressured you in any way, I-- He didn't.
What he said makes sense.
And I want to give this baby and me the best possible shot.
So do it, dr.
Montgomery.
Tie my tubes.
You think pete bribed her? That's what they do with emily.
They give her money to get her to do what they want.
Well, that's one way of helping.
What, you think she should keep the baby? I mean, do you think that she wants to change? I would like to help emily improve her life.
So you think pete, violet, and charlotte couldn't, But--but you can? I'd like to try.
Is this for your sake or for hers? What's that supposed to mean? W-- What? I'm supposed to filter.
Oh, just say it.
Okay.
This is the baby thing, right? She told you she wants a baby, and you didn't say anything, And even though she told you not to say anything, She's mad that you didn't say anything, and so now sh-- ah.
Filter.
I have got to get my own life.
My 15-year-old patient-- justin-- Gained 300 pounds in 3 years, And mommy and daddy were too busy to notice.
So you're blaming the parents? You wouldn't? Well, in all fairness, justin is the one Putting the food in his mouth.
Well, no, I get that he's eating, But the parents let it get too far.
so did he.
Whoa.
Shrink mind meld.
Creepy.
Give me back my fries.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Hey, there she is.
There she is.
Hi.
Oh, hey.
Hey.
Oh, hey.
How's she doing? Sweetie.
Yeah.
Hey.
How you doing? Oh, first day of the rest of my life.
Feel good? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
You saw that, right? It's not just me? You saw that? The clichés-- she only speaks in clichés.
She's got a million of 'em.
And the smiley thing? Well, she's certainly Chipper.
But charlotte's not a smiley person.
Exactly.
Well, it's a--it's a coping mechanism, coop.
Okay, but she's not coping.
What do I do? Mm-hmm.
Where's your mind meld now, bitches? How much did you pay emily to get her tubes tied? She said yes to $250.
I would've gone higher.
Pete, completely unethical.
There are nonprofits in all 50 states Offering drug-addicted women financial incentives To have their tubes tied.
Yeah, but we don't work for those organizations.
We're doctors.
And there are three million cases of child abuse a year.
Drug and alcohol abuse Are a contributing factor in most of them.
Usually you're more practical than this.
Emily isn't just some statistic.
She's a woman, okay, who could wake up ten years from now, Still clean and sober, And wish that she could have another child.
Okay, look, I fully recognize That what we're doing is unethical, possibly illegal.
I understand that.
But you know me.
You know violet.
She's the one that can't stop herself From helping criminals, pedophiles, you name it.
If the two of us are saying that emily is a lost cause, Doesn't that tell you something? Yes.
hi.
Hi, baby.
I didn't realize this was a play date.
Oh, I gave maya the night off.
aren't you? You're so smart.
She is super smart.
Yes.
Yes, you're so smart.
are you tired, too? A little-- Well, it's because you're gonna run the world someday.
I know.
It's true.
all right, it's my turn.
My turn, my turn, my turn.
that's your auntie vi.
Yeah.
oh, I miss lucas being this little.
Is charlotte coming? no.
She declined, but gracefully.
Yes, she's speaking in bumper sticker slogans, Which either means she's internalized The help that we've been offering her Or we need start Planning escape routes in case she goes postal.
Okay, okay, my turn again.
Come on.
All right.
yes, the sweetest girl.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi.
There you are.
There you are.
Hi, sweetie.
Oh, she is so gorgeous.
Yes, you are.
You are gorgeous, little girl.
Okay, that's it.
where you going? No offense, But I did not come here for "the vagina monologues.
" what? What? oh, not "the vagina monologues.
" Did you ever think we'd be these women-- Passing around a baby like it's good drugs? Being the kind of women that women like amelia run from? I was always, always this woman.
I want a baby.
yes, I do.
I do.
it's probably not gonna happen for me, though.
no, it's not.
I have bad ovaries and one sad-- yes one sad, lonely egg, And sam No.
Go for it.
"eat pray love.
" I don't think sam wants any more children.
Have one without him.
I want to have one with him.
I do.
Yes, I do.
Well, the man makes really good babies.
My turn.

There you go.
There you are.
There you go.
Yeah.
Hello, sweetie.
Hello.
I was good at it, too.
Hey, come on, guys.
I told you not to light 'em.
Come on.
They're cuban.
Well, we certainly wouldn't want to let castro down.
I could have an asthma attack.
I will be the first to stick an epipen in your thigh.
Oh, god.
Fine.
No cigars.
I'm dealing.
Hello, men.
why are you here? Uteruses next door be crazy.
Any objections? * no lovelorn prince would ever dare * Why are you looking at cooper? W-why is she looking at cooper? Cooper told me to stay away from him, Which is all I'm going to say, because for once You are filtering.
I am filtering.
Ah.
You got money? Hard cash.
* ambivalent in c * Welcome to the game.
So what are we talking about-- chicks, boobs chicks and their boobs? we were talking about cigars.
Before that, we were talking about babies.
What? addison wants a baby.
Which isn't surprising, the way she took to lucas.
What do you want, sam? I want to make addison happy, but, uh, I've already done the daddy thing.
So does that make me selfish? Am I--am I self-- am I being selfish? No.
Life sucks Sometimes.
You don't want another kid.
Addison wants a kid.
I want a kid.
Charlotte's too damaged to want a kid, Or too damaged to have a kid, or too damaged to have the sex That makes a kid.
Oh, my god.
You are men-- Hot, interesting men.
Please be dirty and manly and sexist.
Give a girl a break.
I beg of you.
* better * * whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh * * oh, oh, oh * * oh, oh * * oh * Hey.

Or how about every cloud has a silver lining? But not it's always darkest before the dawn.
You can't use it's always darkest before the dawn Because you used that one already.
And damn it! You used that one already! Charlotte.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Please.
I-I didn't-- I didn't mean it.
I'm so Please.
Sweetie, I'm sorry.
Are we gonna talk about this? Talk about what? The baby thing.
* or all that you need * * with someone * There's nothing to talk about.
Addison-- No.
I gotta get to the hospital.
I have a c-section to do.
Addison-- Not now.
Okay? Just If you're gonna take babies away from me, Just Not now.
* ships on the shoreline * Okay.

I want to know how you feel.

Addison-- shh.
addison, she signed the consent form.
She didn't want it.
You did.
You wanted this for her, and I We can't just pay someone to tie their tubes, Or at least I can't.
We'll get another doctor to do it.
You'd do that to me? Really? To you? Uh, pardon the shrink in me, but-- Violet, she wants to turn her life around Because of this child.
She told me that.
She can do it.
She just needs help and support, Which is what the shrink in you should be giving her.
You're just banging your head against the wall.
Yeah? Well, it's my head.
Talk to her.
Do this for me.
* I wish I * Okay.
I'll do it.
* more time * * and more words to say * * but I'll * * be * * right * * as rain * Hey.
Where's my mom? She had to leave for a little while, But your dad's in the waiting room.
Is he mad at me? No.
No, he just had to make some calls.
I got this friend.
Something bad happened to her, Something that shouldn't Happen to anyone.
And the thing I want most in the world Is to help her feel better.
But she won't talk to me.
She won't talk to anyone.
I can tell she's in pain.
And I really think that if she just opened up, Everything would change, Because then she wouldn't be alone.
And the two of us together, we could figure out what to do, You know? Well, I'm your friend, too, justin.
I want to help you, too.
If I keep eating, I'll get bigger Which is what I wanted.
But now It is out of control.
Why would you want that? I just I just don't want to get touched anymore.
Dr.
Freedman.
His blood sugar slowly So that he comes out-- ugh! Cooper! What are you doing? Stop it! Coop! Would somebody please help me? Stop it! Get off of him! Cooper, get off of him! Let go of me! Get your hands off me! Let him go.
You son of a bitch! What the hell is wrong with you?! Not your smartest move, coop.
That bastard has been abusing justin.
You can't hit people, no matter what.
Really? So after what bruce has been doing, You're okay with just doing nothing? Bruce is on the phone with his lawyer right now.

I'll--I'll fix it, okay? Charlotte? Charlotte, are you okay? No.
But I'm trying to be for cooper.
He needs me to be okay.
But he hates me now, or resents me, or I don't know.
Charlotte, I am so sorry this happened to you.
Nothing like being raped To make your day all shiny and bright.
Charlotte, I'm gonna tell you this ahead of time Because I don't want you to be surprised, But, um, I'm gonna hug you.
Stand up.
You don't need to do-- Charlotte king, I am going to hug you.
Stand up.
