Royal Pains s03e09 Episode Script
Me First
Previously on Royal Pains Why didn't you tell Hank that you're doing a shift - at the hospital? - I was going to, but then I thought why burden him? So Friday, Nick & Toni's going once, going twice, it's a date! He said, "it's a date.
" I made a list of internists in the area.
Hank, we don't ever need to talk about this again.
Do you think you'll be able to provide for Paige in the style to which she's accustomed? She's so gifted.
I know.
She's, like, the best artist I've ever met.
I'm glad you noticed.
That's more than I can say for her other boyfriends.
Maybe you were right.
Maybe I don't know her.
Maybe I don't know her at all.
I'll get it level for ya.
Tables and chairs to the front lawn.
- Thank you! - Got it! All china to the kitchen for the caterers, and all stemware to the butler's pantry.
On their way.
These are gorgeous.
And two days early.
So I will see you then with fresh flowers.
The banner! - What do you think? - It's perfect.
You would not believe the craziness downstairs.
It feels like half the Hamptons is on our front lawn.
Oh, and get this, mom.
They tried to deliver the flowers already.
Can you believe it? I mean, we don't even start staging the back yard until tomorrow.
Don't worry.
I sent them back.
Daddy's fundraiser will be perfect.
You always make sure of it.
And I have the perfect outfit for you.
Since you've been wearing so much navy lately, I I thought maybe your red suit might be nice.
What do you think? Mom? Oh, good morning, Henry, old chap.
Good morning! I know you want to expand the business.
I didn't realize that included opening a bakery.
- Ah-ah! These are for Paige.
- Ow.
All right? She returns home tomorrow.
These are gonna be wrapped and waiting.
Really? Last I heard, you thought she was hiding something.
You know what? Total misunderstanding.
She wasn't hanging out with that art dealer Kassabian dude.
She was on a campaign trip.
Oh, okay.
Good.
Look, I know what you're thinking.
I'm not thinking anything.
'Cause I had the exact same thought why would the general call me and ask where she was? Like, wouldn't he know his own political schedule? And I wasn't thinking that.
Well, she explained the whole thing to me.
See, basically they have so many events and so many staffers running around trying to schedule those events, the general can't keep track of all that.
The guy's kind of old.
And after 5:00, a lot of the time he, uh, glug, glug, glug.
"Oh, the war.
Man, the war.
" Anyway, I'm making it up to her by baking her favorites.
These are biscochitos and choux a la creme.
Don't ever say that word so close to my face, and I have no idea what those are.
Mexican wedding cookies and, uh, cream puffs.
Created, by the way, from the original recipes that her and her mom used when she was little.
They do look good.
Yeah.
They look perfect, just like Paige.
Man, I'm awesome at this engaged-to-be-engaged thing.
Doit! Doit! Don't make that sound.
Mom! May I help you, miss? It's okay.
I got it.
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
Your phone.
This is Hank.
How long ago? I'm on my way.
Try not to move her, and call 9-1-1.
What happened? Someone's had a fall.
Well, was it a potential retainer? Should I come? No, it's okay.
I got this one.
All right.
Royal Pains 3x09 - Me First Original air date August 24, 2011 Okay.
I got here before the paramedics? - I never called 9-1-1.
- Why not? I didn't wanna involve them.
Involve them in what? Ooh! Ohh! Okay.
Okay.
Okay, no major bones are broken or dislocated.
So other than your left foot, which may be fractured, and some minor cuts and abrasions, you seem okay.
To be safe, I want you to have X-rays and a head C.
T.
It was just a silly fall.
And you said she was fine.
Yeah, and I wanna be certain.
You're cold.
Um, she needs a blanket.
Can you Okay, I'm gonna be right back.
I promise.
Thanks.
Don't worry.
This won't take long.
- Here we go.
- Ohh! Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, boy.
Mm.
Do you always walk so early, Ellen? Sometimes.
Well, it was a beautiful morning.
Seems like you have a lot on your mind.
What's on your mind now? Maybe you're thinking about that party that's being set up on the front lawn.
Now that your husband's running for office, I bet you attend a lot of events.
My husband's campaign is very important to him.
Winning will make him happy.
What about your happiness? When was the last time you felt happy? I don't know.
It's complicated.
Maybe we could have you speak with someone who specializes in these sorts of things.
I'm not crazy, if that's what you're thinking.
I don't think you're crazy, but I'm worried about you.
Okay.
You look a bit tired.
Late night? Early morning.
House call.
I had to get somebody to the hospital.
Well, you should've called me.
Don't worry.
Everything's fine.
The patient is stable and resting.
Anything I can do to help? Remind me again who we're seeing.
Simon Field.
Age six.
Asthmatic.
His nanny is watching him while his actor parents are in Beijing for the month filming the sequel to their movie The Fearfuls.
- You mean The Fearlesses? - Oh, that's it.
"In a world gripped by fear, only two stand unafraid.
" Why are you talking like that? Because wait, tell me you've seen The Fearlesses.
Tell me you've heard of The Fearlesses.
Impossibly good-looking superheroes who are afraid of nothing, with the silver hair? Okay, you need to get out more.
Or you hang around Evan too much.
People of Hankmed, hello! Hello! You must be Toby Thompson.
That would be me.
The nanny.
Although right now I'm Toby The Terrifying.
See? Aah! Did you guys bring Simon a new nebulizer? Yep, and a refill of his medicine.
Oh.
That will be a problem.
Simon's never used a machine with a mask before.
We prefer it.
It delivers the medicine without having to hold a mouthpiece.
Yeah, Divya's right, but if you want, we can get him a pediatric mouthpiece.
No, no, it's it's okay.
Simon needs to learn not to be afraid of new things.
Oh! One more thing.
Simon's a little frightened of, well, everything.
Uh, but we're working on his fears, so he might try to scare you.
Oh, okay.
- Aah! - Aah! Help me! Help me, Simon! I am drowning in quicksand.
Please help me.
- He did say "please".
- Okay! Oh, if I could just reach the top of the quicksand.
Yes! Thank you, Knight Of The Silver Plastic Sword.
See, Simon? You're not the only one who gets scared.
You can be the scary one too.
Good work.
But you really gotta pick up your toys.
Oh, uh, can he do that after I check out his lungs? Sure.
Thanks for asking.
Sure.
This is my super-duper magnet.
She goes first.
- I go first a lot.
- Oh, okay.
Uh, can you turn around, please? Okay.
Deep breath in.
And again.
You see? It's nothing.
Mm-mm! So good news.
I hear your mom has no internal injuries and her C.
T.
came back clean.
Yeah.
They just wanna hold her for observation and pain control.
Yeah.
What about her psych evaluation? The psychiatrist wants to come back when she wakes, but I'm afraid she won't wanna stay.
She may not have a choice.
She was walking in her nightgown toward the ocean.
I'm worried, and I think you are too, about what she might've done if she hadn't fallen down the stairs, if she made it to the beach.
That's why you were running after her, isn't it? She's suffered from major depressive disorder since before I was born.
Over the years, she's tried a lot of different things.
Lately her depression seems to have deepened, and she struggles now from dawn until late afternoon.
Yeah, it's a symptom of severe depression diurnal variation.
Yeah, she she feels calm in the late afternoon, but restless at night, and horrible in the morning.
When was the last time she saw a doctor? Eight months ago.
It was a military doctor, a friend of the family.
- Your dad's idea? - No, my mom's.
She worried that her illness would somehow hold back my dad's career, and he wanted nothing more than to protect her, so he agreed.
That's what you approached me about earlier this summer.
Yeah.
I couldn't tell you the truth, or anyone.
It just wasn't my secret to tell.
But now that it's out, I'll tell Evan.
I've really wanted to.
Yeah, he thinks you're out of town.
When, uh when my mom's having a hard time and she needs me, I I say that sometimes.
It's just the easiest lie to remember.
Okay, Simon, I have a question.
What color comes out of the evil Dr.
Toxin's power sword? Yellow.
And who defeated Dr.
Toxin? My dad.
Mr.
Fearless.
That's right.
But now it's your turn to be the hero.
Picture this mask making you strong, superhero strong.
With every breath of medicine in, I'll remove one of these pieces of yellow ribbon, and Dr.
Toxin will lose some of his power, until they're all gone, the citizens of Earth are free, and you're no longer wheezing.
You first.
Hi.
Mom, I just wanna let you know that I packed you a bag, and I'm on my way back, and I'm so proud of you for staying.
All right.
I love you too.
Bye.
Evan.
Hi.
When did you get back? Uh, just a little while ago.
What are you doing here? I'm just delivering a surprise.
But now it looks like the surprise is on me.
No, you know, this actually isn't even What it looks like? No, I'm sure.
I'm sure it's not.
No, it's not, not at all.
- So what is it then? - Okay, um, I wasn't expecting to get into this right now.
Um Okay, I guess from Was there a campaign trip? No.
Did you even leave town? No, but So you lied to me.
This isn't the first time, is it? No.
But, Evan, please let me expl Who is it? Is it Eric Kassabian? What? You're obviously seeing someone, Paige.
God, it sure explains all the last-minute trips - and the secret phone calls.
- You think I'm cheating on you? I should've seen this.
When I met you, you were lying to your parents and your boyfriend.
You've got me all figured out.
- So now what? - You tell me, Paige.
You love telling stories.
But, actually, they're not stories at all.
- They're just lies.
- You know what? Forget it.
We're over.
Done.
Your mom and dad are very excited to Skype with you.
Here.
Why don't you take it into the shade so you can see better? Lai zi Beijing de wenhou.
How do I say it again? Xi de mama he ba ba.
Xi de mama he ba ba, which means "Hello, mum and dad.
" - Oh, sweetheart! - Hi, Simon! Hello! How are you? Oh, you look so good! You look older.
- Xi de, Hank.
- Xi de, Simon.
- Have you grown? - Oh, darling.
- Of course he's grown.
- His parents adore him.
They're just on location a lot.
And let's face it the last place you wanna take a kid with asthma is the air pollution capital of the world.
So is Simon okay? Oh, yeah, he's fine.
I'm actually the one that needs medical attention.
Oh.
Last night I tripped on fire engine Freddy, and I must've hit my head when I fell to the floor.
I like the bobby-pin bandage.
I did what I could.
Yeah, you definitely need stitches.
Ugh.
Are you behaving for Toby? Can you do it quickly? Sure.
I won't even numb it.
Maybe not that quickly.
So how long have you been Simon's nanny? Uh, about seven months, since I finished N.
Y.
U.
Okay.
Try to keep it clean and dry.
He seems to really like you.
Hi-yah! Wee! Hi! Wee! Hi! Wee! He makes it easy.
I'm gonna really miss him when he goes away to boarding school in the fall.
- Mm.
- But until then, I'm staying focused on helping him overcome his fears.
You can't believe the progress that he's made so far, really.
Mm.
Go on in, Simon! You can do it! Ohh! That's so good.
Trust me, that is progress.
Okay, okay.
What the hell are you doing? It's a golf exercise for the angry.
I happen to be very angry sir.
Can I help you? Where's your brother? Why? I need to talk to him.
He's not here right now.
Are you sick? Do I look sick? No, you just look kind of angry.
Just give your brother a message.
You tell him he had no right to take my wife to the hospital, then try and force her into a psychiatric hold! What? You tell him I brought Ellen home, and she's not going back.
And if she needs a doctor, I will find her one! Needs wait wait a minute.
So Hank saw Mrs.
Collins? He treated her? After Paige called him, yes.
Paige called? When when did she call him? Early yesterday.
Don't you work with your brother? How could you not know this? Yeah, that's a very good question, sir.
Now, when you see him you can ask him, but first tell him to stay out of our business and off my property.
I 'Cause that's what I do when I'm angry.
Oh, my goodness.
What have you done? Uh, I was in a hurry to clean up my gear before the Mets game started.
Do you mind? 25 years, never missed an inning.
- Wait for a good pitch.
- Okay.
And now I won't either.
Lucky me.
Hey.
Hey.
When can you talk? Uh, well, now's good.
Trust me, he can't hear a thing.
Oh, what do you mean? He missed the bag by a mile! What's up? I am dying to hear about your plans with Van Dyke.
There aren't going to be any plans.
I have decided to cancel our date.
Cancel? Why? All he does is talk about himself, and that's in a hospital full of people.
I'll be stuck.
Alone.
You're nervous.
I am not.
How could you not be? You've only been with one guy since you were what, 13? Think of this evening as social training wheels, a quick dip back in the dating pool.
Have a glass of wine at dinner and try to have fun.
Score! Score! Katdare, I'll pick you up at 7:00.
About that.
Oh, make that 6:00.
Did you say something? Yes.
I wanted to tell you Training wheels.
Tiny dip.
I'll see you at 6:00.
- Yes! - Oh, and don't do fancy hair.
Why not? 'Cause it's the law.
Good-bye.
Whoa.
Trying to tell me something? No.
General Collins has a message for you, though.
He said stay the hell away.
- What? - Yeah, he stopped by after taking his wife home from Hamptons Heritage.
No, no, no, no, Ellen shouldn't be home.
She should still be under supervised care.
Oh, really? 'Cause you just always know what's best for everyone, don't you? Has Paige talked to you? Why would she talk to me when she can talk to you? The only thing I know for sure right now is that Ellen Collins was clearly yesterday's emergency.
I wanted to tell you.
You have no idea how badly I wanted to.
When we were in Florida, I tried Florida? How long have you known? I wasn't sure about anything until yesterday when Paige called for help, but I've been hinting for weeks.
Oh, you've been hinting? You don't hint.
This this is not a game.
This is my life.
Evan, you're right.
It's not a game.
But I'm bound by doctor-patient confidentiality Do not pull that doctor crap.
I'm your brother! Nothing is more important than family.
I took an oath.
My patients trust Oh, your patients? You wouldn't even have patients if it wasn't for me.
If I hadn't pick you up off the floor in Brooklyn and dusted you off, you'd be by yourself right now in a dark room! And now because of you Paige broke up with me.
What? Yeah, we're done.
We're done.
Her words.
Ev, I I'm so sorry.
You ruined it for me.
- Ev.
- You ruined it! You should've told me the moment you knew.
That's what I would've done for you.
I wanted to tell him, you know, from the first time Paige said anything.
It was an impossible situation.
I haven't kept a secret from him since I broke his Han Solo and blamed the dog.
Well, that must've been hard for you, Evan, and Han Solo.
But, Hank, I mean, you took an oath.
He's my brother.
I mean, what was I thinking? And I hate secrets.
I mean, they never end well.
Evan doesn't forgive easily, but he did, and he will now too.
Just give him some time.
He knows that you love him, and he'll realize that you were in a complicated position Yeah.
No, Evan likes things simple.
Yes.
But he has got to see that things can't always be simple.
Sometimes we keep secrets for a very good reason.
Hopefully you're right.
Feel better? I feel better because it's over.
Aw.
Okay, ready? Do we have to? Simon, I promise swimming is so fun.
And when you learn to swim, you get to jump off the diving board! I don't want to jump off anything.
But the cool thing about diving boards is you get to feel like you're flying.
Like superman, soaring through the air.
- Ready? You go one, two - You first.
Aah! Toby.
Toby, stop.
Toby! Are you okay? Simon, get my phone! Deep breath in.
And out.
Seems clear.
No rattling, but I'd still like to do some follow-up tests.
Toby is gonna be okay.
Thanks to you, Simon.
My brave little aquaman.
Simon, The Knight Of The Silver Plastic Sword needs a fort.
Do you think you could use those cushions over there - to build one? - Okay.
- Okay.
- Go for it.
So the E.
K.
G.
didn't show anything conclusive.
That's never good.
We like conclusive, huh? Toby, the other night, could you have fainted before you tripped over the toy? No, I don't think so.
Why? Do you think that's related to this? It may be.
So I'd like to rule out arrhythmias and neurological issues.
Not as much as I would.
Right.
I'll make you an appointment with a cardiologist.
But until I figure out what's causing you to faint, I can't leave you alone with Simon.
Oh, well, Marilyn, the family housekeeper, is coming in tonight from the city, so Oh.
Then I'll stay until she gets here.
Wow! Doctor by day, babysitter by night, huh? It's super Hank! I like to multi-task.
You, on the other hand, need to rest, so I'm gonna put you on a monitor.
A monitor, okay.
Rest, not so much.
It's pizza night.
Me and Simon go out for the works.
Hey, I have plans with a friend tonight, so what if I had her bring over some pizza? The works.
Hank, Simon needs me.
I can't get sick right now.
I made promises to him.
This goes right on top Uh! Helmet head.
Not much you can do about it.
Might as well own it.
- Own it? - Yeah.
Wear it like a badge of honor.
Like the slight engine burn on the inside of my right calf? Well, you shouldn't have worn a skirt.
Had I known that tonight's mode of transportation was a motorcycle, I certainly wouldn't have.
You didn't take me for the biker type, huh? Ha! That's why I ride, Katdare.
It surprises people.
It's what the V.
D.
is all about.
V.
D.
's for Van Dyke, not Got it.
Can you believe that people actually wait in line to have their ear drums perforated? Hey, good to see you again, buddy.
There you go.
Go right in.
Where are you going? What about dinner? I wanna work up an appetite.
Her too.
You got it.
I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have lied to you.
I can't believe I lied to you.
It's okay.
I know why you did it, all right? I get it.
Just, please, let's just not keep secrets from each other ever.
Ever.
Knight Of The Silver Plastic Sword, I will find you, for I am The Knight Of The Red Foam Tomahawk! I got you! And now I must eat you.
Okay, kiddo, it's time for your treatment and sleep, okay? Don't worry.
We'll clean all this up.
Thanks.
Thank Jill for the pizza.
Thank Jill for the pizza.
You're welcome, Simon.
Good night.
- Good night.
- Good night! Oh, he's a real cutie.
And she's like a comic-con Mary Poppins.
- Yup! Ha! - Ow! I will find you! I'm sorry our dinner out turned into a night of pizza and babysitting.
You know I love a good game of charades.
Well, thank you for coming over.
You're welcome.
I mean, it's not like I didn't have an ulterior motive.
Wait, what was your So when's this housekeeper getting back? I was just thinking the same thing.
Oh, were you? Hey, I'll check the back door.
- Yeah, good.
- Okay.
Hey, the Toby! Toby! Jill, I need my bag and the zoll monitor from my car.
And call 9-1-1.
Hey, it's okay.
I can't get a pulse.
Paramedics are on their way.
E.
T.
A.
seven minutes.
Toby may not have that much time.
Jill, take over chest compressions.
Okay, stop compressions.
She's in V-fib.
Start again.
Okay.
Clear! Nothing.
Clear! Damn it.
She's in torsades.
That's why the defibrillator didn't work.
Continue compressions.
What is torsades? Torsades de pointes.
It's an arrhythmia that can't be stopped with paddles.
Shocking her only knocks her into sinus rhythm for a few moments.
I need you to continue C.
P.
R.
until I inject her with magnesium.
Okay.
Hi.
What happened? Okay, we need to get you to a hospital.
No.
Simon Toby, don't worry.
I'll stay with him.
Thank you.
It's gonna be okay.
It's okay.
- I'll meet the paramedics.
- Good.
Martini, rocks.
Apple-tini, straight.
There are two words you don't hear together very often.
Oh, my God, I love this song.
Look, we just got our drinks.
I don't need alcohol to have fun.
Neither do I.
Tsk.
But it sure helps.
Whoa! Wh-whoa! Oh, hey, hey, hey, do you surf? No.
No, and even if I did, I don't wanna look like a complete idiot.
Says the woman with helmet head.
Fine, I'll go.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Whoa! Whoa! Ohh! Ohh! Ohh! Hey, Dr.
Van Dyke! Let me through! Paul! Were you trying to make me give you mouth-to-mouth? Was I what? Are you crazy? Wai hey, come on! Hey, I'm sorry.
It was a stupid move.
On that we agree.
Let me get you dinner.
It'll be so much more satisfying to hate me on a full stomach.
It'll be tough to top what I'm feeling right now.
Okay, look, I haven't taken a woman out in a long time.
I'm out of practice.
I got nervous.
Give me a second chance.
Hey.
Hi.
So the cardiologist confirmed you have long Q.
T.
syndrome.
And when people with L.
Q.
T.
are startled like from fire engine Freddy's siren or Simon pushing you into the pool your heart can jump into an arrhythmia.
So that's what made me faint? Yes.
And sent you into seizure.
Some people with L.
Q.
T.
will have clean E.
K.
G.
s and feel no effects except when the syndrome's exacerbated by one of a list of medications.
But I'm not taking anything.
So what's making it worse? Right.
And what made the L.
Q.
T.
suddenly visible? I don't know yet.
Perfect.
I finally figure out what I wanna do with the rest of my life, and maybe I can't even do it anymore.
You didn't always wanna work with kids? I didn't know what I wanted.
I wasn't good at anything.
That's hard to believe.
And you're so amazing with Simon.
Because I was Simon.
When I was little, I was the scared kid, the outsider even when I wasn't so little.
It's funny.
I take care of a boy who's scared all the time, and I'm the one that gets sick from being startled.
Hmm.
Maybe "funny" is the wrong word.
Maybe.
- Hi! - Chocolate chip! Your favorite! - Cookies! - I made them.
And Marilyn helped.
Wow.
They look amazing! Yeah, they do.
I want one.
So where's Marilyn? Just outside talking to a nurse.
We're going to take you home soon.
First you have to finish your lunch.
- You first.
- Me first? Me first.
Uh, Toby, you always go first when Simon's trying something new.
That's her secret trick.
And it's a good one, but, Toby, did you ever do that trick with Simon's new nebulizer mask? Sure, but I never actually inhaled.
The albuterol still could've been absorbed in the mucus membranes of your nose and mouth, and it's one of the medications that can provoke your condition.
Is Toby going to be okay? Like one of the fearlesses, I'll make sure of it.
With the proper medication, she will be able to stay with you and finish getting you ready for school.
So if I hadn't accidentally inhaled some of Simon's albuterol, I never would've found out about my heart? That's right.
You saved me again.
That's my job.
I'm a superhero.
Yes, you are.
Do you want a cookie? Oh, no.
They're for you.
- And they just cut you off? - Cold Turkey.
Wow.
But you didn't love the guy.
My father is many things.
A romantic is not one of them.
It took guts what you did.
Well, it was the only thing to do.
Doesn't make it any easier.
How about you? Any war stories? Me? No, I, uh I'm pretty boring.
Never engaged or dis-engaged.
Happy childhood.
Parents loved me.
Harvard med on a scholarship, and I'm working summers out here.
But I hate talking about me.
I'm sorry we never made it to Nick & Toni's.
Who knew you couldn't show up 90 minutes late for a reservation? Next date, no helmets.
There's not gonna be a next date.
It was the mouth-to-mouth thing, wasn't it? Tsk, that was dumb.
I'm sorry.
My dating skills never progressed past high school.
You were doing that in high school? I haven't had a lot of girlfriends.
I just haven't had the time.
And I may be a social moron, but you have dated the same guy since you were, like, five.
- 11.
- My point is, we both need practice in the dating arena.
- Practice? - Yes.
Platonic practice.
Clearly I need all the help I can get.
So how about this? We go out again, but we don't call it a date, because it's not a date.
What is it then? Two people getting to know each other.
As friends.
But we are not friends.
Not yet.
But you know how I like surprises.
You know what? This is a nice boat.
Yeah.
I wonder whose it is.
Hey, mom.
How ya doing? Not ready to go down to the party.
Okay.
Well, everything looks great down there.
People are having fun.
It's all taken care of, so Thank you.
Both.
Not me.
It's all her.
She's the perfect host.
And the perfect daughter.
And the perfect girlfriend.
So basically she's just really perfect.
She is all those things.
Mm-hmm.
You two should go down and have fun at the party.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Okay.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
Evan.
When you were telling my mom how perfect I am You know what? Even if she wasn't in the room, I would've said the exact same thing, just not as forcefully.
Hey, that's my point.
You put me on a pedestal, always telling me how perfect I am, and it puts a lot of pressure on me.
But you are perfect.
I need to know that you're gonna be there for me if everything falls apart, which it always does.
Paige, I will love you no matter what.
I'm gonna be there for you.
With you.
Right beside you.
Basically you won't be able to get rid of me.
And I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever call you perfect again ever.
Okay, let's not get carried away.
Ever again.
Paige, how is your mother feeling? Um You know what? It's just a touch of the summer flu.
She was really sorry she had to miss the party, but the doctor's orders were very specific.
She has to stay home and rest.
She sends her regards, and I think she'd probably rather us stop talking about her and enjoy the party.
So why don't we all grab a glass of champagne and, uh, take our seats, 'cause it looks like the general's about to speak.
Yeah, there he goes.
So, uh, yeah, she's she's gonna be fine.
Thanks for asking.
Thank you Look, I think If you're waiting for an apology I'm not.
You were just standing there not saying anything.
I started to talk, but you interrupted me.
So you weren't gonna ask me for an apology? - No.
- Good.
'Cause I have nothing to apologize for.
Okay.
You were saying? This whole thing has been complicated, and I'm sorry.
I am sorry for the part I played in it.
I wanted to tell you.
I really did.
Yeah, just not badly enough.
Right? It's not that simple.
Evan, I hope you can forgive me.
Okay.
Um, these are for Paige's mom.
She left Hamptons Heritage without them.
Okay.
The psychiatrist is willing to see her as an outpatient - and thinks that she sh - What are you doing here, Lawson? What do you mean, sir? You and I, we were just having some tea.
- I was just I was - Not you, Evan.
Your brother.
Uh, sir, I'm here because I wanna help your wife.
She doesn't need your help.
And if you're not off this property in two minutes, you will be trespassing.
You staying or going?
" I made a list of internists in the area.
Hank, we don't ever need to talk about this again.
Do you think you'll be able to provide for Paige in the style to which she's accustomed? She's so gifted.
I know.
She's, like, the best artist I've ever met.
I'm glad you noticed.
That's more than I can say for her other boyfriends.
Maybe you were right.
Maybe I don't know her.
Maybe I don't know her at all.
I'll get it level for ya.
Tables and chairs to the front lawn.
- Thank you! - Got it! All china to the kitchen for the caterers, and all stemware to the butler's pantry.
On their way.
These are gorgeous.
And two days early.
So I will see you then with fresh flowers.
The banner! - What do you think? - It's perfect.
You would not believe the craziness downstairs.
It feels like half the Hamptons is on our front lawn.
Oh, and get this, mom.
They tried to deliver the flowers already.
Can you believe it? I mean, we don't even start staging the back yard until tomorrow.
Don't worry.
I sent them back.
Daddy's fundraiser will be perfect.
You always make sure of it.
And I have the perfect outfit for you.
Since you've been wearing so much navy lately, I I thought maybe your red suit might be nice.
What do you think? Mom? Oh, good morning, Henry, old chap.
Good morning! I know you want to expand the business.
I didn't realize that included opening a bakery.
- Ah-ah! These are for Paige.
- Ow.
All right? She returns home tomorrow.
These are gonna be wrapped and waiting.
Really? Last I heard, you thought she was hiding something.
You know what? Total misunderstanding.
She wasn't hanging out with that art dealer Kassabian dude.
She was on a campaign trip.
Oh, okay.
Good.
Look, I know what you're thinking.
I'm not thinking anything.
'Cause I had the exact same thought why would the general call me and ask where she was? Like, wouldn't he know his own political schedule? And I wasn't thinking that.
Well, she explained the whole thing to me.
See, basically they have so many events and so many staffers running around trying to schedule those events, the general can't keep track of all that.
The guy's kind of old.
And after 5:00, a lot of the time he, uh, glug, glug, glug.
"Oh, the war.
Man, the war.
" Anyway, I'm making it up to her by baking her favorites.
These are biscochitos and choux a la creme.
Don't ever say that word so close to my face, and I have no idea what those are.
Mexican wedding cookies and, uh, cream puffs.
Created, by the way, from the original recipes that her and her mom used when she was little.
They do look good.
Yeah.
They look perfect, just like Paige.
Man, I'm awesome at this engaged-to-be-engaged thing.
Doit! Doit! Don't make that sound.
Mom! May I help you, miss? It's okay.
I got it.
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
Your phone.
This is Hank.
How long ago? I'm on my way.
Try not to move her, and call 9-1-1.
What happened? Someone's had a fall.
Well, was it a potential retainer? Should I come? No, it's okay.
I got this one.
All right.
Royal Pains 3x09 - Me First Original air date August 24, 2011 Okay.
I got here before the paramedics? - I never called 9-1-1.
- Why not? I didn't wanna involve them.
Involve them in what? Ooh! Ohh! Okay.
Okay.
Okay, no major bones are broken or dislocated.
So other than your left foot, which may be fractured, and some minor cuts and abrasions, you seem okay.
To be safe, I want you to have X-rays and a head C.
T.
It was just a silly fall.
And you said she was fine.
Yeah, and I wanna be certain.
You're cold.
Um, she needs a blanket.
Can you Okay, I'm gonna be right back.
I promise.
Thanks.
Don't worry.
This won't take long.
- Here we go.
- Ohh! Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, boy.
Mm.
Do you always walk so early, Ellen? Sometimes.
Well, it was a beautiful morning.
Seems like you have a lot on your mind.
What's on your mind now? Maybe you're thinking about that party that's being set up on the front lawn.
Now that your husband's running for office, I bet you attend a lot of events.
My husband's campaign is very important to him.
Winning will make him happy.
What about your happiness? When was the last time you felt happy? I don't know.
It's complicated.
Maybe we could have you speak with someone who specializes in these sorts of things.
I'm not crazy, if that's what you're thinking.
I don't think you're crazy, but I'm worried about you.
Okay.
You look a bit tired.
Late night? Early morning.
House call.
I had to get somebody to the hospital.
Well, you should've called me.
Don't worry.
Everything's fine.
The patient is stable and resting.
Anything I can do to help? Remind me again who we're seeing.
Simon Field.
Age six.
Asthmatic.
His nanny is watching him while his actor parents are in Beijing for the month filming the sequel to their movie The Fearfuls.
- You mean The Fearlesses? - Oh, that's it.
"In a world gripped by fear, only two stand unafraid.
" Why are you talking like that? Because wait, tell me you've seen The Fearlesses.
Tell me you've heard of The Fearlesses.
Impossibly good-looking superheroes who are afraid of nothing, with the silver hair? Okay, you need to get out more.
Or you hang around Evan too much.
People of Hankmed, hello! Hello! You must be Toby Thompson.
That would be me.
The nanny.
Although right now I'm Toby The Terrifying.
See? Aah! Did you guys bring Simon a new nebulizer? Yep, and a refill of his medicine.
Oh.
That will be a problem.
Simon's never used a machine with a mask before.
We prefer it.
It delivers the medicine without having to hold a mouthpiece.
Yeah, Divya's right, but if you want, we can get him a pediatric mouthpiece.
No, no, it's it's okay.
Simon needs to learn not to be afraid of new things.
Oh! One more thing.
Simon's a little frightened of, well, everything.
Uh, but we're working on his fears, so he might try to scare you.
Oh, okay.
- Aah! - Aah! Help me! Help me, Simon! I am drowning in quicksand.
Please help me.
- He did say "please".
- Okay! Oh, if I could just reach the top of the quicksand.
Yes! Thank you, Knight Of The Silver Plastic Sword.
See, Simon? You're not the only one who gets scared.
You can be the scary one too.
Good work.
But you really gotta pick up your toys.
Oh, uh, can he do that after I check out his lungs? Sure.
Thanks for asking.
Sure.
This is my super-duper magnet.
She goes first.
- I go first a lot.
- Oh, okay.
Uh, can you turn around, please? Okay.
Deep breath in.
And again.
You see? It's nothing.
Mm-mm! So good news.
I hear your mom has no internal injuries and her C.
T.
came back clean.
Yeah.
They just wanna hold her for observation and pain control.
Yeah.
What about her psych evaluation? The psychiatrist wants to come back when she wakes, but I'm afraid she won't wanna stay.
She may not have a choice.
She was walking in her nightgown toward the ocean.
I'm worried, and I think you are too, about what she might've done if she hadn't fallen down the stairs, if she made it to the beach.
That's why you were running after her, isn't it? She's suffered from major depressive disorder since before I was born.
Over the years, she's tried a lot of different things.
Lately her depression seems to have deepened, and she struggles now from dawn until late afternoon.
Yeah, it's a symptom of severe depression diurnal variation.
Yeah, she she feels calm in the late afternoon, but restless at night, and horrible in the morning.
When was the last time she saw a doctor? Eight months ago.
It was a military doctor, a friend of the family.
- Your dad's idea? - No, my mom's.
She worried that her illness would somehow hold back my dad's career, and he wanted nothing more than to protect her, so he agreed.
That's what you approached me about earlier this summer.
Yeah.
I couldn't tell you the truth, or anyone.
It just wasn't my secret to tell.
But now that it's out, I'll tell Evan.
I've really wanted to.
Yeah, he thinks you're out of town.
When, uh when my mom's having a hard time and she needs me, I I say that sometimes.
It's just the easiest lie to remember.
Okay, Simon, I have a question.
What color comes out of the evil Dr.
Toxin's power sword? Yellow.
And who defeated Dr.
Toxin? My dad.
Mr.
Fearless.
That's right.
But now it's your turn to be the hero.
Picture this mask making you strong, superhero strong.
With every breath of medicine in, I'll remove one of these pieces of yellow ribbon, and Dr.
Toxin will lose some of his power, until they're all gone, the citizens of Earth are free, and you're no longer wheezing.
You first.
Hi.
Mom, I just wanna let you know that I packed you a bag, and I'm on my way back, and I'm so proud of you for staying.
All right.
I love you too.
Bye.
Evan.
Hi.
When did you get back? Uh, just a little while ago.
What are you doing here? I'm just delivering a surprise.
But now it looks like the surprise is on me.
No, you know, this actually isn't even What it looks like? No, I'm sure.
I'm sure it's not.
No, it's not, not at all.
- So what is it then? - Okay, um, I wasn't expecting to get into this right now.
Um Okay, I guess from Was there a campaign trip? No.
Did you even leave town? No, but So you lied to me.
This isn't the first time, is it? No.
But, Evan, please let me expl Who is it? Is it Eric Kassabian? What? You're obviously seeing someone, Paige.
God, it sure explains all the last-minute trips - and the secret phone calls.
- You think I'm cheating on you? I should've seen this.
When I met you, you were lying to your parents and your boyfriend.
You've got me all figured out.
- So now what? - You tell me, Paige.
You love telling stories.
But, actually, they're not stories at all.
- They're just lies.
- You know what? Forget it.
We're over.
Done.
Your mom and dad are very excited to Skype with you.
Here.
Why don't you take it into the shade so you can see better? Lai zi Beijing de wenhou.
How do I say it again? Xi de mama he ba ba.
Xi de mama he ba ba, which means "Hello, mum and dad.
" - Oh, sweetheart! - Hi, Simon! Hello! How are you? Oh, you look so good! You look older.
- Xi de, Hank.
- Xi de, Simon.
- Have you grown? - Oh, darling.
- Of course he's grown.
- His parents adore him.
They're just on location a lot.
And let's face it the last place you wanna take a kid with asthma is the air pollution capital of the world.
So is Simon okay? Oh, yeah, he's fine.
I'm actually the one that needs medical attention.
Oh.
Last night I tripped on fire engine Freddy, and I must've hit my head when I fell to the floor.
I like the bobby-pin bandage.
I did what I could.
Yeah, you definitely need stitches.
Ugh.
Are you behaving for Toby? Can you do it quickly? Sure.
I won't even numb it.
Maybe not that quickly.
So how long have you been Simon's nanny? Uh, about seven months, since I finished N.
Y.
U.
Okay.
Try to keep it clean and dry.
He seems to really like you.
Hi-yah! Wee! Hi! Wee! Hi! Wee! He makes it easy.
I'm gonna really miss him when he goes away to boarding school in the fall.
- Mm.
- But until then, I'm staying focused on helping him overcome his fears.
You can't believe the progress that he's made so far, really.
Mm.
Go on in, Simon! You can do it! Ohh! That's so good.
Trust me, that is progress.
Okay, okay.
What the hell are you doing? It's a golf exercise for the angry.
I happen to be very angry sir.
Can I help you? Where's your brother? Why? I need to talk to him.
He's not here right now.
Are you sick? Do I look sick? No, you just look kind of angry.
Just give your brother a message.
You tell him he had no right to take my wife to the hospital, then try and force her into a psychiatric hold! What? You tell him I brought Ellen home, and she's not going back.
And if she needs a doctor, I will find her one! Needs wait wait a minute.
So Hank saw Mrs.
Collins? He treated her? After Paige called him, yes.
Paige called? When when did she call him? Early yesterday.
Don't you work with your brother? How could you not know this? Yeah, that's a very good question, sir.
Now, when you see him you can ask him, but first tell him to stay out of our business and off my property.
I 'Cause that's what I do when I'm angry.
Oh, my goodness.
What have you done? Uh, I was in a hurry to clean up my gear before the Mets game started.
Do you mind? 25 years, never missed an inning.
- Wait for a good pitch.
- Okay.
And now I won't either.
Lucky me.
Hey.
Hey.
When can you talk? Uh, well, now's good.
Trust me, he can't hear a thing.
Oh, what do you mean? He missed the bag by a mile! What's up? I am dying to hear about your plans with Van Dyke.
There aren't going to be any plans.
I have decided to cancel our date.
Cancel? Why? All he does is talk about himself, and that's in a hospital full of people.
I'll be stuck.
Alone.
You're nervous.
I am not.
How could you not be? You've only been with one guy since you were what, 13? Think of this evening as social training wheels, a quick dip back in the dating pool.
Have a glass of wine at dinner and try to have fun.
Score! Score! Katdare, I'll pick you up at 7:00.
About that.
Oh, make that 6:00.
Did you say something? Yes.
I wanted to tell you Training wheels.
Tiny dip.
I'll see you at 6:00.
- Yes! - Oh, and don't do fancy hair.
Why not? 'Cause it's the law.
Good-bye.
Whoa.
Trying to tell me something? No.
General Collins has a message for you, though.
He said stay the hell away.
- What? - Yeah, he stopped by after taking his wife home from Hamptons Heritage.
No, no, no, no, Ellen shouldn't be home.
She should still be under supervised care.
Oh, really? 'Cause you just always know what's best for everyone, don't you? Has Paige talked to you? Why would she talk to me when she can talk to you? The only thing I know for sure right now is that Ellen Collins was clearly yesterday's emergency.
I wanted to tell you.
You have no idea how badly I wanted to.
When we were in Florida, I tried Florida? How long have you known? I wasn't sure about anything until yesterday when Paige called for help, but I've been hinting for weeks.
Oh, you've been hinting? You don't hint.
This this is not a game.
This is my life.
Evan, you're right.
It's not a game.
But I'm bound by doctor-patient confidentiality Do not pull that doctor crap.
I'm your brother! Nothing is more important than family.
I took an oath.
My patients trust Oh, your patients? You wouldn't even have patients if it wasn't for me.
If I hadn't pick you up off the floor in Brooklyn and dusted you off, you'd be by yourself right now in a dark room! And now because of you Paige broke up with me.
What? Yeah, we're done.
We're done.
Her words.
Ev, I I'm so sorry.
You ruined it for me.
- Ev.
- You ruined it! You should've told me the moment you knew.
That's what I would've done for you.
I wanted to tell him, you know, from the first time Paige said anything.
It was an impossible situation.
I haven't kept a secret from him since I broke his Han Solo and blamed the dog.
Well, that must've been hard for you, Evan, and Han Solo.
But, Hank, I mean, you took an oath.
He's my brother.
I mean, what was I thinking? And I hate secrets.
I mean, they never end well.
Evan doesn't forgive easily, but he did, and he will now too.
Just give him some time.
He knows that you love him, and he'll realize that you were in a complicated position Yeah.
No, Evan likes things simple.
Yes.
But he has got to see that things can't always be simple.
Sometimes we keep secrets for a very good reason.
Hopefully you're right.
Feel better? I feel better because it's over.
Aw.
Okay, ready? Do we have to? Simon, I promise swimming is so fun.
And when you learn to swim, you get to jump off the diving board! I don't want to jump off anything.
But the cool thing about diving boards is you get to feel like you're flying.
Like superman, soaring through the air.
- Ready? You go one, two - You first.
Aah! Toby.
Toby, stop.
Toby! Are you okay? Simon, get my phone! Deep breath in.
And out.
Seems clear.
No rattling, but I'd still like to do some follow-up tests.
Toby is gonna be okay.
Thanks to you, Simon.
My brave little aquaman.
Simon, The Knight Of The Silver Plastic Sword needs a fort.
Do you think you could use those cushions over there - to build one? - Okay.
- Okay.
- Go for it.
So the E.
K.
G.
didn't show anything conclusive.
That's never good.
We like conclusive, huh? Toby, the other night, could you have fainted before you tripped over the toy? No, I don't think so.
Why? Do you think that's related to this? It may be.
So I'd like to rule out arrhythmias and neurological issues.
Not as much as I would.
Right.
I'll make you an appointment with a cardiologist.
But until I figure out what's causing you to faint, I can't leave you alone with Simon.
Oh, well, Marilyn, the family housekeeper, is coming in tonight from the city, so Oh.
Then I'll stay until she gets here.
Wow! Doctor by day, babysitter by night, huh? It's super Hank! I like to multi-task.
You, on the other hand, need to rest, so I'm gonna put you on a monitor.
A monitor, okay.
Rest, not so much.
It's pizza night.
Me and Simon go out for the works.
Hey, I have plans with a friend tonight, so what if I had her bring over some pizza? The works.
Hank, Simon needs me.
I can't get sick right now.
I made promises to him.
This goes right on top Uh! Helmet head.
Not much you can do about it.
Might as well own it.
- Own it? - Yeah.
Wear it like a badge of honor.
Like the slight engine burn on the inside of my right calf? Well, you shouldn't have worn a skirt.
Had I known that tonight's mode of transportation was a motorcycle, I certainly wouldn't have.
You didn't take me for the biker type, huh? Ha! That's why I ride, Katdare.
It surprises people.
It's what the V.
D.
is all about.
V.
D.
's for Van Dyke, not Got it.
Can you believe that people actually wait in line to have their ear drums perforated? Hey, good to see you again, buddy.
There you go.
Go right in.
Where are you going? What about dinner? I wanna work up an appetite.
Her too.
You got it.
I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have lied to you.
I can't believe I lied to you.
It's okay.
I know why you did it, all right? I get it.
Just, please, let's just not keep secrets from each other ever.
Ever.
Knight Of The Silver Plastic Sword, I will find you, for I am The Knight Of The Red Foam Tomahawk! I got you! And now I must eat you.
Okay, kiddo, it's time for your treatment and sleep, okay? Don't worry.
We'll clean all this up.
Thanks.
Thank Jill for the pizza.
Thank Jill for the pizza.
You're welcome, Simon.
Good night.
- Good night.
- Good night! Oh, he's a real cutie.
And she's like a comic-con Mary Poppins.
- Yup! Ha! - Ow! I will find you! I'm sorry our dinner out turned into a night of pizza and babysitting.
You know I love a good game of charades.
Well, thank you for coming over.
You're welcome.
I mean, it's not like I didn't have an ulterior motive.
Wait, what was your So when's this housekeeper getting back? I was just thinking the same thing.
Oh, were you? Hey, I'll check the back door.
- Yeah, good.
- Okay.
Hey, the Toby! Toby! Jill, I need my bag and the zoll monitor from my car.
And call 9-1-1.
Hey, it's okay.
I can't get a pulse.
Paramedics are on their way.
E.
T.
A.
seven minutes.
Toby may not have that much time.
Jill, take over chest compressions.
Okay, stop compressions.
She's in V-fib.
Start again.
Okay.
Clear! Nothing.
Clear! Damn it.
She's in torsades.
That's why the defibrillator didn't work.
Continue compressions.
What is torsades? Torsades de pointes.
It's an arrhythmia that can't be stopped with paddles.
Shocking her only knocks her into sinus rhythm for a few moments.
I need you to continue C.
P.
R.
until I inject her with magnesium.
Okay.
Hi.
What happened? Okay, we need to get you to a hospital.
No.
Simon Toby, don't worry.
I'll stay with him.
Thank you.
It's gonna be okay.
It's okay.
- I'll meet the paramedics.
- Good.
Martini, rocks.
Apple-tini, straight.
There are two words you don't hear together very often.
Oh, my God, I love this song.
Look, we just got our drinks.
I don't need alcohol to have fun.
Neither do I.
Tsk.
But it sure helps.
Whoa! Wh-whoa! Oh, hey, hey, hey, do you surf? No.
No, and even if I did, I don't wanna look like a complete idiot.
Says the woman with helmet head.
Fine, I'll go.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Whoa! Whoa! Ohh! Ohh! Ohh! Hey, Dr.
Van Dyke! Let me through! Paul! Were you trying to make me give you mouth-to-mouth? Was I what? Are you crazy? Wai hey, come on! Hey, I'm sorry.
It was a stupid move.
On that we agree.
Let me get you dinner.
It'll be so much more satisfying to hate me on a full stomach.
It'll be tough to top what I'm feeling right now.
Okay, look, I haven't taken a woman out in a long time.
I'm out of practice.
I got nervous.
Give me a second chance.
Hey.
Hi.
So the cardiologist confirmed you have long Q.
T.
syndrome.
And when people with L.
Q.
T.
are startled like from fire engine Freddy's siren or Simon pushing you into the pool your heart can jump into an arrhythmia.
So that's what made me faint? Yes.
And sent you into seizure.
Some people with L.
Q.
T.
will have clean E.
K.
G.
s and feel no effects except when the syndrome's exacerbated by one of a list of medications.
But I'm not taking anything.
So what's making it worse? Right.
And what made the L.
Q.
T.
suddenly visible? I don't know yet.
Perfect.
I finally figure out what I wanna do with the rest of my life, and maybe I can't even do it anymore.
You didn't always wanna work with kids? I didn't know what I wanted.
I wasn't good at anything.
That's hard to believe.
And you're so amazing with Simon.
Because I was Simon.
When I was little, I was the scared kid, the outsider even when I wasn't so little.
It's funny.
I take care of a boy who's scared all the time, and I'm the one that gets sick from being startled.
Hmm.
Maybe "funny" is the wrong word.
Maybe.
- Hi! - Chocolate chip! Your favorite! - Cookies! - I made them.
And Marilyn helped.
Wow.
They look amazing! Yeah, they do.
I want one.
So where's Marilyn? Just outside talking to a nurse.
We're going to take you home soon.
First you have to finish your lunch.
- You first.
- Me first? Me first.
Uh, Toby, you always go first when Simon's trying something new.
That's her secret trick.
And it's a good one, but, Toby, did you ever do that trick with Simon's new nebulizer mask? Sure, but I never actually inhaled.
The albuterol still could've been absorbed in the mucus membranes of your nose and mouth, and it's one of the medications that can provoke your condition.
Is Toby going to be okay? Like one of the fearlesses, I'll make sure of it.
With the proper medication, she will be able to stay with you and finish getting you ready for school.
So if I hadn't accidentally inhaled some of Simon's albuterol, I never would've found out about my heart? That's right.
You saved me again.
That's my job.
I'm a superhero.
Yes, you are.
Do you want a cookie? Oh, no.
They're for you.
- And they just cut you off? - Cold Turkey.
Wow.
But you didn't love the guy.
My father is many things.
A romantic is not one of them.
It took guts what you did.
Well, it was the only thing to do.
Doesn't make it any easier.
How about you? Any war stories? Me? No, I, uh I'm pretty boring.
Never engaged or dis-engaged.
Happy childhood.
Parents loved me.
Harvard med on a scholarship, and I'm working summers out here.
But I hate talking about me.
I'm sorry we never made it to Nick & Toni's.
Who knew you couldn't show up 90 minutes late for a reservation? Next date, no helmets.
There's not gonna be a next date.
It was the mouth-to-mouth thing, wasn't it? Tsk, that was dumb.
I'm sorry.
My dating skills never progressed past high school.
You were doing that in high school? I haven't had a lot of girlfriends.
I just haven't had the time.
And I may be a social moron, but you have dated the same guy since you were, like, five.
- 11.
- My point is, we both need practice in the dating arena.
- Practice? - Yes.
Platonic practice.
Clearly I need all the help I can get.
So how about this? We go out again, but we don't call it a date, because it's not a date.
What is it then? Two people getting to know each other.
As friends.
But we are not friends.
Not yet.
But you know how I like surprises.
You know what? This is a nice boat.
Yeah.
I wonder whose it is.
Hey, mom.
How ya doing? Not ready to go down to the party.
Okay.
Well, everything looks great down there.
People are having fun.
It's all taken care of, so Thank you.
Both.
Not me.
It's all her.
She's the perfect host.
And the perfect daughter.
And the perfect girlfriend.
So basically she's just really perfect.
She is all those things.
Mm-hmm.
You two should go down and have fun at the party.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Okay.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
Evan.
When you were telling my mom how perfect I am You know what? Even if she wasn't in the room, I would've said the exact same thing, just not as forcefully.
Hey, that's my point.
You put me on a pedestal, always telling me how perfect I am, and it puts a lot of pressure on me.
But you are perfect.
I need to know that you're gonna be there for me if everything falls apart, which it always does.
Paige, I will love you no matter what.
I'm gonna be there for you.
With you.
Right beside you.
Basically you won't be able to get rid of me.
And I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever call you perfect again ever.
Okay, let's not get carried away.
Ever again.
Paige, how is your mother feeling? Um You know what? It's just a touch of the summer flu.
She was really sorry she had to miss the party, but the doctor's orders were very specific.
She has to stay home and rest.
She sends her regards, and I think she'd probably rather us stop talking about her and enjoy the party.
So why don't we all grab a glass of champagne and, uh, take our seats, 'cause it looks like the general's about to speak.
Yeah, there he goes.
So, uh, yeah, she's she's gonna be fine.
Thanks for asking.
Thank you Look, I think If you're waiting for an apology I'm not.
You were just standing there not saying anything.
I started to talk, but you interrupted me.
So you weren't gonna ask me for an apology? - No.
- Good.
'Cause I have nothing to apologize for.
Okay.
You were saying? This whole thing has been complicated, and I'm sorry.
I am sorry for the part I played in it.
I wanted to tell you.
I really did.
Yeah, just not badly enough.
Right? It's not that simple.
Evan, I hope you can forgive me.
Okay.
Um, these are for Paige's mom.
She left Hamptons Heritage without them.
Okay.
The psychiatrist is willing to see her as an outpatient - and thinks that she sh - What are you doing here, Lawson? What do you mean, sir? You and I, we were just having some tea.
- I was just I was - Not you, Evan.
Your brother.
Uh, sir, I'm here because I wanna help your wife.
She doesn't need your help.
And if you're not off this property in two minutes, you will be trespassing.
You staying or going?
