Royal Pains s07e08 Episode Script

Previously on Royal Pains She wants to try couples therapy.
So what did you say? I have to at least give it a try for the kids' sake.
There's this young girl who's seven months pregnant.
So And your parents, are they still It's just my mom, and she's leaving it to me.
She wants us.
We're gonna have a baby.
Oh, my God, look.
There she is.
There she is.
She's so beautiful.
She really is.
The baby is breeching high, but that's not unusual at 35 weeks.
She may turn on her own.
I understand you'll be moving here soon.
Mm-hmm, next week after finals.
Yeah, we booked her a room at the Blackstone.
Elan, I didn't know you were in summer school.
- Mm-hmm.
- Wow, that's great.
Must be fun.
And when it's over, we look forward to getting to know you.
I will see you again on Monday and then again every week after that.
Hey, can I take you to lunch today? I guess, sure, as long as I don't miss the train home.
Great, and thanks again for letting us be here.
Well, you'll be her parents.
Right.
- All right.
- Okay.
Bye.
Her name is Greta.
She's a marine biologist, mostly studies migration patterns.
Migration.
- Sounds like she travels a lot.
- Yeah, why? - You think that's a problem? - Oh, I don't know.
You're clearly both capable smart people, and you'll figure it out, and, you know, she sounds very interesting.
Yeah, she is; we're having dinner again tonight.
Fantastic.
Is everything okay? It's my aji.
That's Marathi for "Grandmother.
" Yeah, I remember.
She's been a bit ill lately, constant cough and cold, and she refuses to see a doctor.
You're worried about pneumonia.
Yeah, very worried.
You know, I'm going over there today, and she loves you.
Well, all grandmas love me.
Ah, not more than mine.
She'd listen to you - Yeah, I'd be happy to go.
- Thank you, and don't worry.
I'll have you back in time for dinner.
I would hate for Greta to think that you had - Migrated? - Yeah.
Why did you ask Elan to go to lunch? Because I got hungry.
And I want to get to know her.
I completely understand why you'd want to do that.
I'm just I'm not sure it's the best idea.
Why? I feel like she wants to get this over with as fast as she can and not leave any emotional entanglements.
Are you talking about Elan or yourself? Both.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with avoiding awkwardness, of which there is a lot, and if I'm being honest with myself, yeah, of course, I can't wait till it's just you, me, and our daughter.
And I'm looking forward to that too.
and I will respect Elan's decision if she decides to never see us again, but I also know what it's like to be adopted and to have questions, and so when our little girl asks about her birth mother, I would like to be able to have answers, and she should at least know that I tried to get them for her.
Okay.
All right, I'm just gonna put this down right here, now don't move.
Okay.
My neighbor that referred you is right.
You're not only fast.
You're very accommodating.
Well, thank you.
I try to be helpful.
So you said this happened when you went sailing, Mr.
Beeman? Please, call me Bruce - Bruce.
- And yes.
It happened yesterday, though I have no idea how.
Hmm.
Okay.
Have you ever had this type of injury? Not since I was a 15-year-old launch boy at the yacht club.
Will I be able to walk down the aisle tomorrow? You're getting married? My fiancée warned me not to go sailing the day before the wedding.
Not to worry.
Your ankle's just sprained.
You may walk slower than usual, but you can absolutely make it to the altar.
What about the honeymoon? - 15 months on the open sea.
- That's a long time.
How about I throw in a quick exam as a wedding present? - Sure, why not? - Okay.
I try to stay in shape for my fiancée.
She's incredible.
Loving, smart, beautiful, and funny.
Deep breath in.
- Did I mention beautiful? - You did.
Another deep breath, please.
I've had my share of failed relationships, but this one was worth all the years of searching.
This one's the whole package.
Hey, that's the woman I've been looking for.
Back off, buddy.
I saw her first.
Other than losing your balance, have you had any other symptoms? Fiancé, you are so fired.
You missed our champagne tasting.
Oh, baby, I'm sorry.
I completely forgot.
Hank.
Nikki.
You two know each other? We do.
This is Hank, as in the Hank.
As in ex-fiancé Hank.
That's me.
Nikki.
You saw Nikki.
Drop you when you're down Nikki.
Cut and run Nikki.
Demon seed Nikki.
She's not a demon seed, but yes, I saw her.
She's getting married tomorrow.
No big deal.
Clearly it's a really big deal.
You don't salt your coffee.
It's very un-Hank.
Did she at least apologize? - Not exactly.
- But you told her off, right? Oh, my God, tell me every glorious vindictive detail.
I didn't tell her off.
You didn't give her the speech? - What speech? - The speech.
The speech all of us have ready just in case we run into that someone who dumped us.
You have a speech? "Tammy Tyler, I loved you, and you destroyed me.
"I mean, I'm I'm fine now; I'm great now, but you, "you will always be the girl who cheated at relationships, "earth sciences, and dodgeball.
"Also, you smelled like string cheese and pencil shavings.
Good-bye forever.
" Wow, you are ready for Tammy.
Seriously, did you forget what happened between you and Nikki? You lost your job at the hospital, and instead of being supportive, she was downright evil.
Just remember one thing.
You put us here, not me.
You're the one who let a billionaire hospital trustee die on your day off.
I mean, Jesus Christ, Hank.
This is not what I signed on for.
I wanted to spend on florists and caterers and a photographer, not attorneys.
It was a long time ago.
Not that long.
Who are you? What how are you not freaking out? Because I'm fine now.
We both are.
I'm happy.
She's happy.
We're happy.
I'm not happy.
She dumped you when you were at your absolute lowest.
Okay, but it wasn't all bad.
I mean, we had some good times together.
Okay, okay, yeah, okay, good.
Enjoy your little walk along the high road, then tell me she looks terrible and has gained 50 pounds and is suffering from male pattern baldness for females.
No, she's still very attractive.
Oh, my God.
It all finally makes sense.
- What makes sense? - All your girl issues.
Why you're single.
Henry, you're not over Nikki.
Please, that is ridiculous.
Ahh! Yeah, that's hot.
Extremely un-Hank.
Hey.
- You got a new car.
- Yeah.
I got tired of repairing the old SUV, and I needed some retail therapy.
Well, it definitely beats new shoes.
Mm, you have no idea.
Keyless ignition, smartphone integration, and in 4 seconds flat, I'm at 60 miles per hour, and I can get home to Sashi even quicker.
- Amazing.
- Mm-hmm.
Just like its owner.
Uh-huh.
You want to drive it, don't you? No, I mean, only if you yes, I do.
- Huh, no.
- Oh, okay.
So this is the same grandmother who arranged your marriage to Raj? Yeah.
We used to be so close, but things have been strained since I broke off the engagement.
Oh, look, I didn't mean to upset you.
No, no.
Raj and I, we broke up again.
Wait, broke up again? I thought you two were just friends.
We recently got back together again.
We tried to keep it a secret.
Oh, okay.
I'm sorry.
I never told you.
Raj and I, we needed to figure things out for ourselves first.
No, look, it makes sense.
As we get older, we realize how hard it is to find that person to love.
Unfortunately, I realized too late how important Raj is to me, and now I will never see him again.
Please, don't second-guess yourself.
Oh, no, no, no, it's not that I regret breaking it off with Raj back then or marrying Rafa.
Those choices, they brought me Sashi.
They made me who I am now.
It's just I wish I could show my aji my change of heart.
Sometimes it's hard to have perspective on your life when you're the one living it.
Aji.
It's lovely to see you.
This is my great aunt Kiri.
Lovely to see you too.
You're wearing white.
I'm too late.
And the rest of the furniture will be delivered next month.
We're gonna have a crib and a changing table and a dresser, and I'm going on and on.
Sorry, I'm just a little nervous, but don't worry.
It'll be totally ready in four weeks.
I'm just glad it's not pink.
Oh, I can't stand pink rooms either.
Hey, we do have a guest room down the hall if you wanted.
Of course, it's not finished either, but it will be, and it won't be pink, but only if you wanted.
Um, th there's no pressure.
It's just I'm going on and on.
So what are you studying at summer school? - Calculus.
- Oh, nice.
Not really, but I want to take BC Calc as a senior, so I don't really have a choice.
Right.
Uh, I should get to the train station.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Your water broke.
Hey! Oh, sorry.
Um, sorry.
I'll just So when will I have this baby? Your contractions should begin in the next six to seven hours.
Begin? - That long? - Don't worry.
If it takes longer, we can always induce with Pitocin.
No.
No drugs.
My mother doesn't believe in 'em.
I'll do it naturally, like she did.
The good news is, the baby turned on its own.
Do you think maybe it's time we called your mom, let her know Mom doesn't want to see this.
She wants it to be over, so I can get my life back on track.
Okay.
Your blood pressure's a little bit elevated.
I'm gonna tell Dr.
Neil.
Okay.
All right.
- Can you page Dr.
Neil? - Right away.
Is everything okay? Well, high blood pressure can be a sign of preeclampsia, but I think it's more likely she's just freaking out about everything happening so quickly.
- Oh! - Uh, just hold on one second.
Her contractions have started, I think.
I will be back with Sashi and my parents when her ashes are returned for the ceremony tomorrow.
Thank you for being here today.
You were her favorite, you know? She loved when you were a little girl and would order the boys around.
She really loved how you insisted they call you Dr.
Katdare.
Thank you for being here.
Of course.
Huh.
- What? - Dr.
Katdare.
- Oh.
- I never knew that.
Forgot it myself.
You're an hour too late.
Nikki's not here.
You know, the prenuptial sacrament of the bridal spa day.
Right.
No, I'm here to see you.
When you didn't respond to my calls, I thought I should follow up in person.
You don't need to concoct a medical excuse to come by.
I know how things ended between you and Nikki, but we're pretty busy right now getting ready for the wedding.
When I examined you earlier, I thought I heard a slight It's a whooshing sound in you carotid artery.
It might be nothing, but it could mean that plaque is building up in the artery and you're in danger of having a stroke.
Oh.
Okay.
Look, I think it's best I follow up with a doctor who doesn't have an unsettled history with my fiancée.
Listen, there's no unsettled history.
If you're feeling the need to clear your conscience, a simple apology to her would suffice.
Apologize? For what? For dumping her and breaking her heart.
Not that she needs your apology.
Clearly she's moved on.
But it would be the gentlemanly thing to do.
Thanks for showing yourself out.
Yeah.
Hey, Jeremiah, it's me.
I got your lovely message.
Thank you so much for calling.
I'm okay, and and I hope that you are too.
We all really miss you, and we look forward to seeing you soon, all right? Okay, bye.
Please, please, help.
We need some help, please.
Can anyone help? We need a doctor, please.
Help, please.
We need a doctor? Is anybody a doctor? Help! Hey, I can help! This guy flew off his motorcycle.
Okay, I'm gonna need your help.
He's breathing, but he's in respiratory distress.
We need to intubate.
Take this.
Squeeze every five seconds, yeah? Thank you.
He's got a fault one fracture.
Back.
Okay, thank you.
I can't get visualization orally.
Back.
No crike kit.
All right, I'm gonna have to intubate through his nose.
I know this is gonna be uncomfortable, all right, but I need to help you breath.
Good.
We're good.
All right.
Squeeze.
Every five seconds.
Squeeze.
The tube is in his esophagus.
I need to do it again.
Okay, back.
Squeeze.
Squeeze.
Great.
That's it.
Keep squeezing.
Okay, the tube's in his lungs.
He's getting air.
That is good.
Hey, look.
Look, he's getting air.
Hey, you saved that dude's life.
Thanks, doc.
We'll take it from here.
No, no, don't come by yet.
Because they're trying to give her some privacy, okay? I will let you know when a good time is.
I promise.
Okay.
I know.
All right.
Bye.
That was Hank.
I left messages for Divya and Jeremiah.
How she doing? She's dilated at 5 centimeters, and her blood pressure is good.
- This is really happening.
- I know.
If there wasn't so much to do, I'd be a basket case.
Oh, and guess what.
Elan's gonna call her mom.
- Really.
- It wasn't my idea.
I promise, but I'm so happy she's doing it, and you were right.
As much as I wanted to spend this whole month getting to know everything about her, I realize now that's not gonna happen.
Maybe for the best.
Maybe, but I'm glad I got to learn that Elan is smart and has her head on her shoulders, and I got a picture of her, so we'll have something to share with our little girl about her birth mother.
We're gonna love this baby so much.
I already do.
Hi.
Thanks for coming.
I bet you're wondering why I asked you to meet me here.
It may have crossed my mind.
I'm worried about Bruce.
Did something happen? I didn't think much of it when he forgot about our champagne tasting, but then I told him this funny story about an expediter I had hired to get us visas for our honeymoon, and an hour later, he asked me if I'd found an expediter.
Short-term memory loss.
Could it be related to his falling down? How worried should I be? Without Bruce's consent, I can't say much, but if you're really worried about his health, you should see another doctor.
Why wouldn't I be really worried? Well, you may be different now, but let's just say sticking around when things get bumpy wasn't exactly your strong suit despite what you may have told Bruce.
Okay, so this is about us.
Well, let me remind you, for a solid month I begged you to get off the couch and get back on your feet, put your life back together, and how did you repay me? By dumping me.
So you want to talk bumpy? That was bumpy.
I dumped you? That is one seriously selective memory.
You're the one who did the dumping, and you're the one who called me here tonight at some out of the way place looking like that.
I'm dressed like this because I came straight from our rehearsal dinner, and I picked this place, because I didn't want anyone we know seeing me talking to a doctor.
And by the way, you're the one who's dressed to impress, which I know, because it's pretty much how you looked on our first date.
I like this look, and just so you know, I have a date after this with a marine biologist.
Hopefully, she's better at science than at choosing men.
You really haven't changed much.
I was just thinking the same thing about you.
This time I'll do the walking out.
Sorry.
Hello, there.
Double red eye, extra red.
Oh, bless you.
Did you get any sleep? Not much, but it seems like you had a rough night too.
How did you know? Well, you've never blessed me before, and didn't you have a date with your marine biologist friend? Right.
No, she canceled.
Had to catch a flight to Belize to track whale sharks.
If I had a dollar for every time I heard that.
Welcome to my love life.
Wait, why are we talking about my night? You had quite the evening.
Roadside nasal intubation.
You're the talk of the hospital.
It was pretty amazing.
I wish I could have been there to see you do it.
Were you nervous? When I first saw him, yes, but then something kicked in.
I can't explain it.
My hands, my mind, they started working together like I wasn't even thinking about it.
After it was over, the ambulance had left, I had this realization.
When I was little, I wanted to be a doctor, and as I grew older, I got so caught up in what my parents wanted and trying to please everyone that I forgot that, and yesterday oh, my gosh, yesterday it all came flooding back.
Hank, I want to apply to medical school.
I know.
It's crazy.
I mean, it is crazy, isn't it? You will be a fantastic doctor.
It would mean that I would have to slow down at HankMed, eventually quit.
Or when you finish med school, you'll join HankMed as Dr.
Katdare.
Dr.
Katdare.
I don't know if I'd get used to that.
I could get used to that.
Hello.
Thanks for staying with me all night.
Anything? We've walked up and down these hospital halls 100 times.
I've had PE with less cardio.
Do you think this baby is ever going to come? Yes, I promise she will.
Before Christmas? You could always take the doctor up on her idea of Pitocin to induce.
No.
No drugs.
Right.
No drugs.
Do you think that's a mistake? I think it's your decision.
You're the one doing all the work.
You're gonna be a good mom.
Have you heard back from yours? Well, like you said, maybe she's still at work.
Elan, are you saying no to the Pitocin because you're hoping your mom will get here before you give birth? I want her here.
I've already disappointed her enough.
I don't want to do it anymore.
I've ruined her plans for me.
I just want to get my life back on track.
I miss her.
I need her.
Is that why you're giving up your baby? Because you think it'll help your mom to forgive you? It may not be my place to say this, but I'm not sure that should be first and foremost in your mind when making a decision like this.
Listen, my mom and I had lots of arguments when I was a teenager, but we always got past them.
You don't know my mom.
I don't, and I don't know you very well either.
But I do know that you're a very capable and strong young woman, and I think you should make this decision based on what you want.
Whatever you decide, please know that Evan and I will support you no matter what.
Mm.
Thank God you're here.
Where is he? We were taking our wedding photos, and Bruce said he was seeing double.
He stepped out of the sun, and he seemed to be better, and and then his speech got all garbled.
Bruce, can you squeeze my hand? Can you hear me? Okay, okay, good.
Can you speak? Iwife When did his vision and speech problems start? About two hours ago.
We thought it would get better, but it didn't, and it and when he lost feeling on the right side of his body, that's when I called you and 911.
Bruce is having an ischemic stroke.
- Oh, my God.
- Bruce, you're having a stroke.
It's a blood clot in your brain, but I'm gonna do everything I can to help you.
I promise.
I'm right here.
Baby, it's okay.
- You're gonna be just fine.
- That's it.
You just keep talking to him.
I got you.
I'm right here.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm right here, okay? You're gonna get all better.
I'm right here.
It's okay.
Nikki, the stroke's affected his dominant brain, where our personality, memory, and cognition reside.
I can inject thrombolytics to break up the clot and limit the damage.
Every second counts.
There are risks, but the risk of not doing it is far greater.
- Okay, do it.
- Okay.
It's gonna be okay, Bruce.
You're gonna be okay.
The CT angiography confirmed that the enzyme I injected dissolved the clot, but he'll still need a carotid stent to increase flow to his brain, so we're not out of the woods yet.
Well, the neurologist said you saved his life.
Thank you.
I'm glad I could help.
Bruce seems like a real gentleman.
He is.
What do you think this means for him in the long term? The neurologist will fill you in.
I'm asking you.
Well, um, in the best-case scenario, he could make a full recovery, but he'll still need at least 6 to 12 months of physical therapy.
And if it's not the best case? No one knows how much function he'll recover.
I'm sorry, Nikki, and I'm sorry you had to postpone your wedding.
Postpone? The minister's on her way.
We're getting married.
Good-bye, Hank.
This is not what I signed on for.
I wanted to spend on florists and caterers and a photographer, not attorneys.
I think we need to postpone.
I'll see your postponement and raise you.
It was me.
Ahh! The baby's crowning.
Come on, one more big push.
One more big push.
Come on.
Elan? Hey, Elan.
You can do it, okay? Don't hold back.
Just let everything out.
Here, I'll push with you, okay? On three.
One, two, three.
Ahh! Oh, my God! She's right there.
She's Look at her.
You did so good.
Elan, you were great.
You did so great.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi, there.
How could my memory have been so off? All these years, I remembered her dumping me when I was the one who ended it, and since Nikki and I broke up, I've either dated the wrong women or screwed up the right ones.
Maybe the reason I can't find the right person is because of me.
And maybe you're being too hard on yourself.
Like you said, it's hard to get perspective on your life when you're the one who's living it.
Hi.
I'm so sorry about your aji.
Thank you.
Hey, cuties.
How you doing? I, uh well, I didn't expect to see you here.
I came to lend my shoulder, but now I hear your aji's been carried away already.
Yes, yes, but my family would be very pleased to see you, especially my parents.
It's been a long time.
They took her to the nursery to get her examined.
Elan, she's so angelic and sweet.
How are you feeling? I don't think I ever been this tired in my whole life.
I can imagine.
You did an incredible job.
I'm so proud of you.
Can I get you anything? I've really been craving a chocolate shake.
Two of them.
Done.
What do you think of Lenora? That was my granny's name.
You want to keep her.
I do.
You're gonna be a great mom, and Evan and I will be a phone call away if you ever need anything.
Mom.
Hey.
She's so beautiful.
Yeah, she is.
Elan's doing the right thing.
So are you.
Hey, hey, hey, take it easy on that.
Hey, listen, listen.
You want free candy, you have to hit it here.
Yes! Do it again.
Ah, one's enough.
One's enough.
So you're a southpaw.
Uh, a lefty.
I'm trying to become "ami-dextrose.
" Oh, "ami-dextrose.
" Yeah, it means you can bat righty and lefty.
Right.
Let's see what you got, kid.
Nice toss.
Are you here visiting someone? - My mom.
- Oh.
I hope everything's okay.
Why wouldn't everything be okay? Sam, you know the rules.
Oh, sorry.
It's my fault.
My fault.
Oh, are the gummy bears your fault too, Dr.
Lawson? Hank, and yeah.
I'm Jen, OB nurse.
Yeah, I know who you are.
Okay, well, I'm calling the game on account of flute practice.
I hate flute.
I know, I know, but two more lessons, and then you never have to take it again, okay? Come on.
Fine, but I still hate flute.
Hey, wait for me at the entrance.
So playing ball in the hallway and enabling a child's sweet tooth? Clearly you do not have kids.
Not yet, no.
Okay, well, for the record, I hate flute too.
Oh, how do you feel about coffee? - Um, look, if you're - I'm not.
Well, I was, but I'm sorry.
No, it's not you; I'm just not doing coffee these days or drinks or dinner or anything resembling, like, a date.
I just got out of a not-so-good relationship, so Right.
Again, sorry.
You apologize a lot, Hank.
I do, and I'm sorry? All right, I'll see you later.
Okay, bye.
Hi.
I hope I'm not disturbing you.
No.
No, no, no, of course not.
How are you feeling? I, uh I I miss Aji.
Are those hers? Yes.
Listen, thank you for being there.
I didn't go just to pay my respects.
I also wanted to see you.
You did? Why? Karen and I have agreed that things are not gonna work out between us after all.
Oh.
I realized that I'm in love with you.
I'm in love with you too.
That is the best thing I have ever heard.
Actually, let me be one thing better.
Divya, will you marry me? Hey.
Please tell me we have another.
Nice.
What a sunset.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, what a day.
Yeah, I heard the demon seed got married at the hospital.
I'm happy for Nikki.
Does that mean you can finally move on now? Yeah, doesn't seem to be much forward motion in that department for me.
Be patient.
Mrs.
Dr.
Hank Lawson's out there somewhere.
I promise, and you are absolutely gonna find her.
I hope so, but I'm starting to think the problem is me.
For some reason I seem to date women who live anywhere but here in the Hamptons, so I make any meaningful relationship impossible.
It seems like kind of an easy fix.
You'd think, right? You'll figure it out.
You always do.
How are you and Paige holding up? Pretty good.
I mean okay, considering.
It's definitely hard.
I just really want to be a dad.
I know.
You will be.
If it doesn't happen, I don't know how Paige is gonna handle it How we'll handle it.
Hey, listen to me.
You guys are both so strong.
No matter what happens, you're gonna be okay.
Hmm.
What? No, it's just when you and Paige first got together, I have to say I was surprised that you were settling down before me.
Oh, really? You are not alone, my friend.
And now you're gonna lap me again.
You have grown so much, and I have no doubt you're ready to be a father, a great one.
Well, I had a great one who showed me how it's done, so We have the same father, right? Oh, not Eddie.
Jesus.
You.
You were a father to me for years.
To you.
To you and Paige.
And to you and um, well - How 'bout we just drink? - Okay.
