Saving Hope (2012) s05e10 Episode Script
Change of Heart
1 Alex: When I was five, our AC broke.
The house was so hot, she made Dad drag a tub under the porch, where it was cooler.
I was too shy to get into it because the neighbors were watching, so she jumped in first, to show me that it didn't matter what anyone else thought, that the Reids could do whatever they wanted, as long as we had each other.
Oh, no, no, no.
These-these have to go.
My mother hated yellow flowers.
Way to go, Jasper.
My little brother sent those? Yep, still backpacking in Nepal.
Yeah, of course he is.
I bury my troubles with work, he travels, and my mother chose to redecorate.
She did a great job in here.
She did, didn't she? - Is Dougie gonna speak? - I don't know.
I don't know if he's even gonna show up.
Charlie and Shahir are taking care of that.
[sighs.]
My dad, my little brother, my mom.
I'm telling you, the Reids are dropping like flies.
Does the fact that you're going to get Douglas mean that you and Alex are back together? No.
No, it just means that we're family 'cause of Luke.
Hmm.
Do you always bring your med kit with you when you travel? Mm-hmm.
I like to be prepared.
Plus, it holds my snacks.
So tell me about Douglas.
I've never met him.
Uh, well, what can I tell you? Um, after Alex's father died and Martha went off the rails, Dougie kind of became the man of the house.
That's a lot of responsibility for a 12-year-old.
Hmm.
Well, Charlie, how big do you think he is size-wise? I like to prepare an adequate dose.
You're gonna drug him? Alex did say he wouldn't come easy.
Road trip! [laughs.]
[siren wails in distance.]
I've crafted the perfect system for scheduling the surgical residents.
I can see that you are very passionate about your chief resident duties.
I worked out eight other versions, but this is the best one.
Okay, I'm impressed, Dr.
Williams.
Talk me through it.
Okay.
Taking into account - Hi.
- Hey.
Haven't seen you in a while.
I'd heard you've been getting reacquainted with an old friend.
I've been helping Alex plan her mother's memorial.
Well, that's the less sexy version of what I was imagining.
Not imagining imagining, just How's Dr.
Katz? I actually don't know.
I've been avoiding her.
I heard she came back for you.
Yeah, I never thought I'd see her again, and now she's back, making declarations.
I just I'm still processing.
You better speed it up.
Good morning, Dr.
Katz.
- Hi.
- You look lovely today in those scrubs.
Oh, thank you, Dr.
Miller.
If we move this chunk We should probably go.
There's a gas leak.
Oh.
Uh, I think you're in great shape.
Okay.
Um, I just wanted to show you one more thing You're in scrubs.
So everyone keeps pointing out.
Are you working here again? Mm-hmm.
Charlie reinstated my privileges.
So are you sticking around or what Maggie, I don't want to make small talk.
I told you how I felt, and I haven't heard from you since.
I've been working doubles, and there was the cremation and now the memorial and The last thing I want is to complicate your life any further.
So I'll see you later.
Syd, it's Woman on P.
A.
: Assistance in 14, bed two.
Assistance in 16, bed four.
Maggie, my mom's urn got held up at customs.
I ordered it on Etsy, custom-made out of oak, - just like the tree from her back yard.
- Alex, slow down.
I need you to help me get it back before the memorial.
Where is Martha now? I didn't know where else to put her.
I mean, she just brought these cute little rain boots for Luke, and they were So, actually, this is the last thing that she I'll handle it.
Just do you have a tracking number? I will e-mail you it.
[cellphone buzzes.]
I have to go to the E.
R.
Here.
Just keep her with you, I don't want her to be alone.
You are a godsend, Maggie.
Oh, Dr.
Reid.
Oh.
I'm so sorry about what happened.
I hope she didn't suffer.
I can't believe you're back to work so soon.
If my mother died, I don't know, I'd be Dr.
Williams, I'm just trying to get through the day.
So if we can keep this as professional as possible Yes, of course.
The new surgical schedule is out.
I'm with Dr.
Scott.
Oh, is that a problem? He's kind of chatty, and I wanted to be alone with my thoughts today.
Oh, yeah, I totally get that, but I can't switch the assignment.
It's a house of cards, and my system is flawless.
Lovely.
Oh, and, Jackson, don't forget to take his tongue ring out before you stick him in the MRI.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
It will split his tongue in half look like a tiny burrito exploded in a microwave.
Yeah.
Hey, Zach, what's up? Alex, I heard about your mom.
Just wanted to say It-It It's fine.
I'm fine.
Honestly, Zach, just raise a glass to her tonight, celebrate her life That's what she would have wanted.
That I can do.
But if there's anything else at all Who's your resident today? I've got Brown Clooney.
- What? - He calls me White Denzel.
It's a thing.
Well, trade me for Billy.
That's like trading a race horse for a llama with bangs.
[chuckles.]
You said anything.
No, not that.
Paramedic: Erin Avery, 16, short breaths, swollen extremities, back pain.
Okay, let's get her to bed four.
Sekara, Katrina? You're in the hospital now, Erin.
You're gonna be fine, okay? Alex: Honey, you need to hang back and let the doctors work, all right? Erin was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease at three and a half, but she's been receiving biweekly dialysis treatments for the past six months.
But lately it's gotten much worse.
Okay, on three.
One, two, three.
Is she on the kidney transplant list? She doesn't need to be.
Her little sister is a match.
She's getting one of Vicky's kidneys.
[siren wails.]
All right, somebody's gonna stay with her, right? B-Because dialysis carries some risks.
I mean, there's hypertension or stroke or or arrhythmia.
Dad, he's a doctor.
He knows.
She's in good hands, Mr.
Avery.
Where are you going with Dr.
Reid's patient? - Where's Billy? - Dr.
Miller and Dr.
Reid traded.
What?! No! They can't do that! It covers 11 years of Erin's medical records every test, every scan.
It looks like it's been meticulously sorted and color-coded.
- Wow.
- Unbelievable.
Oh, my God.
What is it? Vicky's file.
It looks like they tested her in utero to see if she was a match.
She's a savior sibling? Looks like it.
What's a savior sibling? Vicky was conceived to be an organ donor for her older sister.
I can't do the transplant.
It's unethical.
Where are you? I have to Uh Hmm.
Ugh! Syd?! I need you! Sorry, Maggie, I can't.
I lost Martha! I had her ashes! They were in a shoe box, I put her down for two seconds Max.
Two seconds! [cellphone buzzes.]
- What? - Damn it.
I have a consult.
I know the last thing you want to do is help me right now, after everything Fine, go to you patient.
I'll take over the search.
You're looking for a small, red children's shoe box.
- Got it.
- Thank you! Hey, chocolate milk Dr.
Katz is in the house.
Hi, Olivia, I'm Dr.
Lin.
I'm Jesse, her fiancé.
Olivia had terrible stomach pains all night.
Okay, were you vomiting at all? Can you show me where it hurts? Does it hurt right here? No.
Okay, I'm gonna send you up for some scans just to rule out appendicitis just better to be safe than sorry.
Can you get me a bottle of water? Yeah, of course, babe.
I'll be right back.
Okay, let's cut to the chase, it's not appendicitis.
It burns when I pee.
We all know the risks of live donation.
The girls have talked to doctors and counselors and to each other.
Vicky, do you think we could talk, just the two of us for a minute? Anything you need to say to my daughter you can say in front of me.
Well, Vicky, because you're under the age of consent, the transplant will need to be approved by our ethicist.
[sniffles.]
You okay? I get emotional when Erin's sick.
- Of course.
- Can we move this along, please? I will take you to Erin's room the minute they finish setting up her dialysis.
Then we'll discuss the next steps.
Okay.
Charlie? Yeah? Um, I'd like to ask you as interim chief of surgeon Shahir, you don't have to say "interim" chief every time.
Right.
Well, I need you to reduce my hours.
What? I don't have a budget for another neuro.
You have to.
Jonathan and I are adopting a baby.
Shahir, congratulations, man.
That's great.
I'm-I'm happy for you guys.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, it's very [snoring.]
Exciting.
Hmm.
Well, I guess we don't need to drug him.
Want to grab his feet? Okay.
Hey, Doug.
[groans.]
What's going on? [straining.]
Oh.
Hey, buddy.
Long time, no see.
Oh.
Hi.
I'm Dr.
Shahir Hamza.
Hey, Doc, I really think I'm gonna ralph.
Okay, let's put him down.
- Put him down.
- Oh, right.
Put him down, put him down, put him down, put him down.
[retches.]
I've checked the ward, the nurse's station, and the lounge.
Nothing yet, but there's still lots of places to look.
Like where, the City Morgue? Have a little faith in me.
I'll find it.
Sweetie, I hate to ask, but I really feel like something to eat now, too.
Sorry to be a pain.
No, it's like practice for when we get pregnant, you know.
Getting you bacon and ice cream at 2:00 a.
m.
Either of you have kids? Do you want 'em? - I do.
- Yes.
You remember the deli we passed on the way here? Two blocks south on the west side? One corned beef sandwich, coming up.
Please tell me it's good news.
I'm afraid not, Olivia.
You tested positive for chlamydia, which means that Jesse should probably be tested, too.
Oh.
No.
No, he's fine.
We-we haven't had sex yet.
He just got out of jail.
Not for, like, murder or anything For smuggling iguanas from Brazil.
Iguanas? Yeah, he used to be a reptile wrangler for kids' birthday parties.
Oh, he's a lizard wizard.
Totally.
See, she gets it.
Anyway, we went online and, um we wrote everyday, and all of a sudden, I realized we were in love, and then suddenly, we're getting married.
And before he was being released, I [sighs.]
I had a one-night stand.
Well, you felt like things were moving too quickly, and you panicked.
It's understandable.
Well, sometimes when you meet the right person, things just happen quickly naturally.
I'm sorry, who are you? Dr.
Katz.
I'm an obstetrician.
Okay, why do I need an obstetrician? Because chlamydia can spread into the reproductive system, and if that happens, there can be complications.
What kind of complications, like, worst-case scenario? Worst-case scenario, infertility.
But Jesse and I want to start a family.
Saira: You're suggesting she's been coerced.
Look, she grew up in a house with a sister who was sick all the time, being told that she's the answer to Erin's pain and suffering.
Maybe she feels like she has to do this.
Let's hear what she has to say.
Okay.
Hi, Vicky.
I'm Saira Clemmons.
Hi.
I'd like us to get to know each other a little bit.
- Is that cool? - Mm-hmm.
All right, I'll go first.
Um, I have an older brother named Amir.
And I kind of grew up all over the place, but mostly in Thunder Bay.
- [sniffles.]
- I'm Alex.
I have three brothers two younger and one older, named Dougie.
And we grew up in St.
Catherine's.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Can I please have a tissue? Sure.
[blows.]
I wrote something.
Is that okay? Absolutely.
"My sister doesn't think I'm lame or annoying," "like most older sisters do.
" "I love Erin, even though we never get to do fun things" "like play sports or go on vacation.
" "One time, Erin didn't get sick for two months" "and we were like a normal family.
" "We even talked about going to Wonder Land.
" "Then she fainted in the shower" "and we never talked about it again.
" "I just want Erin to have a normal life.
" Am I allowed to ask questions? Whatever you want to say will help me make my decision.
I guess the one thing I really want to know, from you, Alex, what does saving a life feel like? Feels kind of awesome.
I bet it would feel even better if it was Dougie's life you saved.
May I please go to the bathroom? Of course.
I think I've heard everything I need to hear.
It's down the hall, on your right.
[laughing.]
Dr.
Sekara, you've got to see this video from my birthday.
You said you wanted a beach theme, and that's exactly what you got.
And I don't care what anybody says, I think I look fierce in that bikini.
Vicky laughed so hard, I thought she was gonna fall into the pool.
[knocks.]
Sorry to interrupt.
I just wanted to let you know that the ethicist has made her decision.
How did it go? Did Vicky convince you? Well, she is a very intelligent young lady.
And what is the decision? Vicky can decide for herself how she'd like to proceed.
[sighs.]
So you will do the transplant? If that's what Vicky wants, yes.
Where is V? You know what? She probably got lost coming back from the bathroom.
I will go find her and tell her the good news.
Dr.
Sekara.
Vicky? I'll be right out.
Is everything okay? Hey! Oh, what happened? Hey.
Nothing.
I'm fine.
Oh, my God, you are burning up.
[retches.]
Okay, all right.
It's okay, honey.
You okay? Please don't tell my parents.
I'm supposed to be the strong one.
[sighs.]
I know, sweetie, I know.
Everything is gonna be okay.
I should tell him, shouldn't I? Not necessarily.
Yes, he's your fiancé.
Well, you're not sexually active yet, so it's technically not his business.
Hmm, Dr.
Lin, could you slide the wand back over the left Fallopian tube? [beeping.]
What is it? This gray spot here looks like an abscess caused by the bacteria from your STI.
Does that mean I can't have babies? No, no, it's just a blockage right now.
We can drain it and clear the tube with a minor procedure.
I have to have surgery?! It's minimally invasive, but, yes.
No, I can't go into surgery without telling Jesse the truth.
The truth about what? We'll give you two some space.
[chuckles nervously.]
Is your arm acting up? I can write a prescription when we get back.
Dougie: Hey, can I get in on that action? [chuckles.]
You're fine with the saline, Doug.
I'm always prepared.
You know, chuckles, if you weren't such a good guy, I'd kick your ass for kidnapping me.
You're mad at Alex.
She's mad at you.
You'll work it out.
What does she have to be mad about? Uh, I guess you'll find out when you see her.
You have to make amends with your sister.
Otherwise, the whole Reid family structure will crumble.
You got a good relationship with your family? Yes.
Well Until recently.
Oh, yeah? What happened? I'm adopting a child with my partner, Jonathan.
But my parents don't approve.
- You're gay.
- Yes.
Well, screw 'em.
Your kid's lucky he's not gonna have a mom.
Billy, what are you doing here? Okay, so you know how you assigned me to Dr.
Reid and then she traded me to Dr.
Miller? - Yes.
- Well, Dr.
Katz commandeered me.
Does she even work here? [scoffs.]
The whole thing could just be some weird lesbian mating ritual between her and Dr.
Lin, which I'm totally down with.
Dr.
Williams, there were no residents assigned to my rhinoplasty.
Do you know why? I-I-I'm so sorry, Dr.
Storms.
There was a little horse trading, and, clearly, the schedule's been affected.
Get your act together, Williams.
I'm handling it.
[grunts.]
I'm handling it.
Well, Olivia came clean about her one-night stand, and Jesse walked out on her.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
But being honest was the right thing to do.
We should scrub.
Maybe for you, but people deal with their issues in different ways.
Like, say, turning their phones off? I thought we wanted the same thing.
- So did I.
- Then what's the problem? I don't know.
I'm so happy you're back.
It's just ever since you told me how you felt and you kissed me, I've been fighting this feeling almost like I'm being strangled from the inside.
That's how I make you feel? No, I'm not being clear.
No, that's the clearest you've been since I got here.
No, it's not.
I'm This is why I've been avoiding you.
I'm just I'm still processing.
Okay, great.
You process.
I'm gonna scrub in.
Hey, I I should come back.
Did you find Martha? Nada.
It is adios muchacho to that bag of ashes.
Dr.
Scott, you weren't supposed to be looking for a bag of ashes.
You're supposed to be looking for a red shoe box with ashes in it.
Well, this changes things.
Keep looking! [sighs.]
The symptoms suggest that Vicky's caught a virus and that it's become quite severe.
Oh, she didn't even know she was sick.
What kind of parents are we? Vicky always been so strong.
Doctor, we you need to know that we didn't have Vicky just to save Erin's life.
But when you have a three-year-old who's so sick she can barely open her eyes and the doctor tells you eventually she's gonna need a kidney transplant and that a related donor is the best option - Well, we always wanted a second child.
- Of course.
But you should know that until Vicky's 100% healthy, - she won't be eligible to donate.
- Yes, of course.
We-We just want both of our daughters to be healthy.
Uh, I'm sorry to interrupt you.
Dr.
Reid, we need to speak with you.
I'll see you in a moment.
As soon as Vicky's chest CT came back, I knew there was a problem.
So you paged Dr.
Bell? No, he paged me because of this.
What? She's been scanned head to toe every day of her life.
How did somebody miss this? I guess it's new.
The virus that Vicky caught has spread to her heart.
[monitor beeping rhythmically.]
It's called viral myocarditis.
The heart will continue to get weaker until it can no longer pump on its own.
Can you fix it or or reverse the effects? We can surgically implant a device.
It's called an LVAD.
[cellphone buzzes.]
That is a pump that helps the heart move the blood through the rest of the body.
Yeah, and and that will fix her? It's not a cure.
But it will help her to remain healthy for a little while longer.
With some luck, Vicky's heart could heal on its own.
What if it doesn't? She'll need a heart transplant.
Look, I know that this is a lot to process, but the sooner we get Vicky into the O.
R.
, the better her chances.
Please, just save our baby.
We'll do what we can.
Excuse us.
Okay, so we'll put her on pump first and then we'll do the implantation.
[cellphone buzzes.]
Is there something wrong? It's a family thing.
It's gonna be a while before I need you.
Happy to pinch-hit in the meantime.
Thank you.
Dr.
Bell, I've already assisted on a few LVAD insertions.
Maybe I could take the lead on this one.
Maybe.
Actually, Dr.
Bell, I'll be assisting you.
Dr.
Sekara has been reassigned.
Okay, well, you two duke it out, and whoever wins, just meet me inside.
[scoffs.]
You're poaching my surgery? If everyone's going to disregard my schedule, then so am I.
Wow.
Okay, so that's how we're doing things? I tried to play nice.
Remember this tomorrow when the new schedule comes out.
[police radio chatter.]
Just come inside and talk to her.
She deserves that much.
Even after everything, you're still beside her, backing her up.
Yep, I am.
Honey Nut Shahirios, can I offer some advice? If things go south with your family, make sure your kid knows it's not their fault.
Okay.
Dougie? Well, I'll see you inside.
Those two You got a lot of good guys in your corner.
I miss having you in my corner.
Oh, yeah.
St.
Alex.
I'm not a saint.
Yeah, explain it to me, then.
Dad hangs himself on your birthday and Mom downs a bottle of meds, and here you are, your halo still shining.
I don't want to fight with you.
Maybe I want a fight.
What would be the point? It'd be honest, for one thing.
Lord knows we're short on honesty in this family, which is why we make such good drunks.
And you'd know everything about that, wouldn't you? You know, you're too busy at the pub to help me with Mom, you're too busy running away from all your problems to pick up the phone.
I'm not the one who let her die.
"Let her die"? - Yeah.
- You're saying I let her die? You were right there.
Why didn't you try to do something to save her? Huh? You know what, Dougie, you have no idea what happened, because you weren't there.
Because you're never there.
- Ever! - Yeah.
That's right.
So why change that now? [monitor beeping rhythmically.]
Never get tired of seeing that.
Great.
Stitching the LVAD into the ventricle.
Get ready on the suction.
Scalpel.
Roxy, what are you doing? Lining up my protection stones.
Is there a problem? No.
Just thought you were a doctor.
Hey.
Everything okay? Of course.
Absolutely.
Okay, we're about to graft the inflow.
Jump in.
Well, the, uh, break seams to be setting nicely, Marvin.
That's awesome.
Can I help you? Oh, no, you've already done so much.
Oh, uh, take him up to the fracture clinic for me, would you? Thank you.
- Hi.
- I'm looking for my sister, Erin.
She was getting dialysis.
Okay, and do you know you're a ghost? I really need to find Erin.
Okay.
Well, dialysis is this way, so follow me.
That's my sister.
Dev: - Dr.
Reid? - What is it? It's Vicky's sister.
She had a stroke.
Shahir thinks it was caused by the heparin in her dialyzer.
Roxy: You've got to be kidding me.
This family can't buy a break.
[sighs.]
Where is she? With Dr.
Hamza in O.
R.
2.
Excuse me.
Dawn: Okay, the sewing cup is in place.
Where's Erin? Is she in one of these rooms? Yeah, but, uh kind of got to let the doctors do their job, right? I just want to know that she's okay.
Okay.
[door opens.]
Hey, what's going on, Charlie? Um, I was just talking to Vicky.
Just talking to her? Just talking to her.
Well, that's not a good sign, is it? No, I would assume not.
You haven't seen her sister around, have you? - No, why? - Because these girls are hanging by a thread.
I've got one whose kidney is shot, and the other one's heart is failing her.
And if they don't wake up soon, it's just Okay, okay.
I'll do what I can.
Great.
Thank you.
Well, you heard the nice lady doctor.
Let's get you back inside your body, right? - Vee? - Erin! You won't believe it! I finally feel better! - [laughs.]
- Come on! [both laughing.]
Charlie? What's wrong? Um Nothing I can't handle.
[siren wails in distance.]
Port sights look good.
How are you feeling? I can't believe I told him.
[chuckles.]
Dr.
Katz, I ruined the best relationship I ever had.
Remember, if you have any pain or bruising around the incisions, I want you to come back right away, okay? [knock on door.]
Look who I found.
Jesse! Oh, you brought flowers.
They're so pretty.
Red flowers mean love, I think.
Do they mean love? Yeah, they do.
[sighs.]
I know you're scared.
We haven't spent very much time together.
Liv, you're my best friend.
Same.
And if it's okay with you, I'd still really like to be your husband.
I love you, too.
I want to be your wifey.
- We should talk.
- I can help you find Martha's ashes, but then I think it's best if we keep our distance.
No, I don't want to [cellphone dings.]
I'm sorry.
Just one second.
The urn is here! Wait, it's not here, it's at a depot across town, - and they close in an hour.
- An hour?! No, I say we forget the urn and focus on the ashes.
We don't have the ashes.
Then we'll get someone else's.
My cousin, Jerry, he can get his hands on anything if you give him a few hours and pay cash.
What are you talking about? I'm not switching out Martha's ashes.
Okay, then we'll divide to conquer.
You get the urn before the place closes, I'll rally the troops and find the ashes.
We can do this, Maggie! Ready, jump! [laughing.]
Guys, I know this seems like fun, but it's actually quite dangerous.
Well, we've never felt closer.
Why would we give that up? Because the longer you stay out of your bodies, the harder it's gonna be to get back in them.
[monitor beeping quickly.]
Dev: Blood won't stop coming.
There must be several micro-capillary ruptures.
If we don't relieve the pressure quickly It will block the blood flow to the brain.
That's right.
And then she won't ever wake up again.
Thank you.
Here it comes.
Ready? Jump! [laughing.]
It feels like you're suspended in space for, like, a split second.
Come on, Charlie! Hit the 2 button.
We'll all jump together.
You got to think about the long lives you're gonna have together once you're both healthy.
You can go to the same colleges, you can backpack across wherever.
2 minutes, 55 seconds.
Okay, I found the bleeder.
Suction, please.
You're gonna have your whole lives in front of you, but you got to be alive.
[flatline.]
- Whoa.
- What is it? I feel really light all of a sudden like I'm floating for real.
Am I floating? Shahir? What happened to the girl in O.
R.
2? She had a hemorrhagic stroke.
I couldn't restore the blood flow in time.
I should inform the parents.
[clears throat.]
I don't feel dead.
I don't feel anything.
[sighs.]
Yeah, that's that's because a ventilator is breathing for you.
All I wanted was a little more time to feel normal, to be with Vicky.
I didn't know that this was going to happen.
It's okay.
Now we can stay like this forever.
No.
No, you can't.
I'm sorry.
Vicky you still have a chance.
But not with Erin.
Erin your little sister needs you.
I think it's time to step up.
Vicky, we don't have much time.
I'm not going.
Listen, you've done everything that you can for me.
Okay? Now it's time to live your life for you.
Do it for me.
Please.
Go on the rides at Wonder Land the biggest, scariest ones.
Scream at the top of your lungs.
It's the last thing I'll ever ask of you.
I promise.
Ready to close.
[rapid beeping.]
Well, it doesn't make any sense.
The VAD is working properly.
She must be in RV failure.
Close her up.
What does that mean, the LVAD's not enough? No, the heart muscle is too weak to pick up the slack.
Keep her heart beating.
I'll be right back.
Let's get her back on pump.
What's going on? Vicky was stable, now her vitals are on the floor.
Um Erin didn't survive her surgery.
She's brain dead.
And, uh Vicky doesn't want to leave without her sister.
Well, Charlie, we can't lose them both.
I know.
Maybe there's a way we can save Vicky and let them stay together.
That's all we want.
Give Vicky Erin's heart.
When no one ever tells you Oh, how will you know That we were not designed to carry mountains And we were never meant to walk alone And everybody's heart breaks No matter who you are The fire burns much brighter in the darkness So let's kill the lights and look up at the stars I know it's bad So bad And we are tired of this bad weather It's bad So bad But all that bad makes the good better Okay.
[sighs.]
[cellphone buzzes.]
Alex Reid.
Oh, uh [chuckles.]
Oh, that's that's just not possible.
That that's not gonna work.
Well, I-I can't exactly check my voicemail while I'm in the middle of a heart transplant, so you-you No, no, you listen.
My mom may not have been a saint, but she deserves to be remembered by the people that loved her in the beautiful garden terrace that I booked over a week ago.
[voice breaking.]
No, I understand.
[sobs softly.]
[sighs.]
Well I'm an ass.
You are.
I've been stuck in a loop for since we were kids.
Missing Dad, blaming Mom.
Resenting you for rising above it all.
Lexi, I'm not mad at you.
I'm mad because I thought I was gonna have a chance to patch things up with Mom.
Before she died she reached out to me, and I just thought I had more time.
Yeah.
But I'm here now.
I want to come to the memorial.
Oh.
[sighs.]
That's the thing, there there is no memorial now.
It's double-booked.
They just called, so [sighs.]
Well you and I both know when the Reids want to party, no, nothing can stop us.
[laughs.]
Give me an hour.
An hour? All right? Okay.
[sighs.]
Okay, Charlie, why am I blindfolded? Um 'Cause your brother's a weird guy.
[chuckles.]
Yeah, but I do love him.
Mm-hmm.
Hang on, hang on there.
Okay.
All right, the big reveal.
All right.
Wow.
I hope it's okay.
I know it's not a fancy garden party.
Are you kidding me? It's perfect! Mom would love this.
How did you do this in an hour? Well, you know, after you called me an alcoholic, I went to a pub on the corner.
And as it turns out, the guy who runs the place had his own party planned for tonight.
So I went back asked and him if we could borrow it and told him the family sob story.
You're incredible.
Hey, at least the family curse finally worked to our advantage, huh? Uh, him and his buddies are coming at 10:00.
I hope that's not weird.
Well, you know Mom's party motto the more, the merrier! Let's get our drink on! [laughter.]
You okay? You're being quiet.
I had a young patient today I couldn't save her.
[sighs.]
I can't stop thinking about her parents.
It's this adoption, Jonathan.
It's making me feel things I don't want to feel.
It's making me a worse doctor.
Look, I can't control how you're feeling, Shahir but I can be here for you.
Alex, there are no words to describe the remorseful feelings that I feel.
Alex: Maggie? The urn it's beautiful.
- Isn't it? - Yeah.
- It's also empty.
- What? We thought you'd want to put the ashes in yourself.
Of course.
Thanks, Maggs.
Please do not tell me those are from cousin Jerry.
No.
It's Martha! Thank you! [chuckles.]
Let's take a walk.
I'm really happy you're here.
Ever since I met you, I've wondered what it would be like to be with you to actually be with you.
Is that such a frightening prospect? It's paralyzing, actually.
It's like I've been waiting three years for Christmas, and now it's finally here and I'm Jewish.
Both: [chuckles.]
What if we can't live up to the expectations? You know, today, we kind of fast-forwarded through a Shidduch.
What is that? It's an Orthodox thing It's when you go on a series of dates and you talk about big things like morals and values, and by the end of it, you know if you're compatible or not.
I'm gonna say we didn't pass with flying colors.
No, we did not.
But it didn't make me want to be with you any less.
Maggie, I don't want some epic, tortured love affair with you.
I just want you.
Okay.
Promise me you're not gonna leave again.
I'm not going anywhere without you.
Sow your dreams Where nobody knows Dougie? You know, my son's never met you.
Yeah, maybe he's better off.
No, he's not.
He needs an uncle.
He needs someone who's going to teach him to drive five years too soon and someone to talk to about his first crush when he's too embarrassed to tell me or Charlie.
Now, listen to me, Dougie you are a good man.
And I want my kids to know you.
Kids, huh? Are you having more little brats? [sighs.]
Are you pregnant? Yes.
And it's Charlie's I just want to get ahead of that.
[laughs.]
You're such a Reid! Oh! Anybody want a fresh drink? You're having a baby! [laughs.]
Whoa! Okay, all right, Doug, all right.
Whoo! These guys are pregnant.
[crowd murmurs.]
Alex: Uh, yes.
It's true.
Charlie and I are having another baby.
[indistinct chatter.]
To Alex and Charlie.
All: - To Alex and Charlie! - Cheers.
Alex: Thank you.
Anyways, I just wanted to thank everybody, uh, for coming today to celebrate Mom.
So if you could all raise a glass.
To Martha.
To Martha.
To Martha.
All: To Martha.
[chuckling.]
Oh, my God, I found fireworks.
Must be a sign from Martha.
Want to do it? Both: Send her off in a blaze of glory.
Something with All that panic today, and they're feeding her to the fish.
It's beautiful.
It's her Viking send-off.
No time No time Alex: In the end, Martha's legacy wasn't her flaws as a mother or her illness.
It's in Jasper's lust for life.
It's Dougie's big, bleeding heart.
For me, I guess it's my optimism.
Because my mother always saw the best in people, even when she couldn't see the best in herself.
She loved deeply and as best she could.
And, really, that's all anyone can ask for.
Rest in peace, Mom.
You deserve it.
[fireworks exploding.]
No time
The house was so hot, she made Dad drag a tub under the porch, where it was cooler.
I was too shy to get into it because the neighbors were watching, so she jumped in first, to show me that it didn't matter what anyone else thought, that the Reids could do whatever they wanted, as long as we had each other.
Oh, no, no, no.
These-these have to go.
My mother hated yellow flowers.
Way to go, Jasper.
My little brother sent those? Yep, still backpacking in Nepal.
Yeah, of course he is.
I bury my troubles with work, he travels, and my mother chose to redecorate.
She did a great job in here.
She did, didn't she? - Is Dougie gonna speak? - I don't know.
I don't know if he's even gonna show up.
Charlie and Shahir are taking care of that.
[sighs.]
My dad, my little brother, my mom.
I'm telling you, the Reids are dropping like flies.
Does the fact that you're going to get Douglas mean that you and Alex are back together? No.
No, it just means that we're family 'cause of Luke.
Hmm.
Do you always bring your med kit with you when you travel? Mm-hmm.
I like to be prepared.
Plus, it holds my snacks.
So tell me about Douglas.
I've never met him.
Uh, well, what can I tell you? Um, after Alex's father died and Martha went off the rails, Dougie kind of became the man of the house.
That's a lot of responsibility for a 12-year-old.
Hmm.
Well, Charlie, how big do you think he is size-wise? I like to prepare an adequate dose.
You're gonna drug him? Alex did say he wouldn't come easy.
Road trip! [laughs.]
[siren wails in distance.]
I've crafted the perfect system for scheduling the surgical residents.
I can see that you are very passionate about your chief resident duties.
I worked out eight other versions, but this is the best one.
Okay, I'm impressed, Dr.
Williams.
Talk me through it.
Okay.
Taking into account - Hi.
- Hey.
Haven't seen you in a while.
I'd heard you've been getting reacquainted with an old friend.
I've been helping Alex plan her mother's memorial.
Well, that's the less sexy version of what I was imagining.
Not imagining imagining, just How's Dr.
Katz? I actually don't know.
I've been avoiding her.
I heard she came back for you.
Yeah, I never thought I'd see her again, and now she's back, making declarations.
I just I'm still processing.
You better speed it up.
Good morning, Dr.
Katz.
- Hi.
- You look lovely today in those scrubs.
Oh, thank you, Dr.
Miller.
If we move this chunk We should probably go.
There's a gas leak.
Oh.
Uh, I think you're in great shape.
Okay.
Um, I just wanted to show you one more thing You're in scrubs.
So everyone keeps pointing out.
Are you working here again? Mm-hmm.
Charlie reinstated my privileges.
So are you sticking around or what Maggie, I don't want to make small talk.
I told you how I felt, and I haven't heard from you since.
I've been working doubles, and there was the cremation and now the memorial and The last thing I want is to complicate your life any further.
So I'll see you later.
Syd, it's Woman on P.
A.
: Assistance in 14, bed two.
Assistance in 16, bed four.
Maggie, my mom's urn got held up at customs.
I ordered it on Etsy, custom-made out of oak, - just like the tree from her back yard.
- Alex, slow down.
I need you to help me get it back before the memorial.
Where is Martha now? I didn't know where else to put her.
I mean, she just brought these cute little rain boots for Luke, and they were So, actually, this is the last thing that she I'll handle it.
Just do you have a tracking number? I will e-mail you it.
[cellphone buzzes.]
I have to go to the E.
R.
Here.
Just keep her with you, I don't want her to be alone.
You are a godsend, Maggie.
Oh, Dr.
Reid.
Oh.
I'm so sorry about what happened.
I hope she didn't suffer.
I can't believe you're back to work so soon.
If my mother died, I don't know, I'd be Dr.
Williams, I'm just trying to get through the day.
So if we can keep this as professional as possible Yes, of course.
The new surgical schedule is out.
I'm with Dr.
Scott.
Oh, is that a problem? He's kind of chatty, and I wanted to be alone with my thoughts today.
Oh, yeah, I totally get that, but I can't switch the assignment.
It's a house of cards, and my system is flawless.
Lovely.
Oh, and, Jackson, don't forget to take his tongue ring out before you stick him in the MRI.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
It will split his tongue in half look like a tiny burrito exploded in a microwave.
Yeah.
Hey, Zach, what's up? Alex, I heard about your mom.
Just wanted to say It-It It's fine.
I'm fine.
Honestly, Zach, just raise a glass to her tonight, celebrate her life That's what she would have wanted.
That I can do.
But if there's anything else at all Who's your resident today? I've got Brown Clooney.
- What? - He calls me White Denzel.
It's a thing.
Well, trade me for Billy.
That's like trading a race horse for a llama with bangs.
[chuckles.]
You said anything.
No, not that.
Paramedic: Erin Avery, 16, short breaths, swollen extremities, back pain.
Okay, let's get her to bed four.
Sekara, Katrina? You're in the hospital now, Erin.
You're gonna be fine, okay? Alex: Honey, you need to hang back and let the doctors work, all right? Erin was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease at three and a half, but she's been receiving biweekly dialysis treatments for the past six months.
But lately it's gotten much worse.
Okay, on three.
One, two, three.
Is she on the kidney transplant list? She doesn't need to be.
Her little sister is a match.
She's getting one of Vicky's kidneys.
[siren wails.]
All right, somebody's gonna stay with her, right? B-Because dialysis carries some risks.
I mean, there's hypertension or stroke or or arrhythmia.
Dad, he's a doctor.
He knows.
She's in good hands, Mr.
Avery.
Where are you going with Dr.
Reid's patient? - Where's Billy? - Dr.
Miller and Dr.
Reid traded.
What?! No! They can't do that! It covers 11 years of Erin's medical records every test, every scan.
It looks like it's been meticulously sorted and color-coded.
- Wow.
- Unbelievable.
Oh, my God.
What is it? Vicky's file.
It looks like they tested her in utero to see if she was a match.
She's a savior sibling? Looks like it.
What's a savior sibling? Vicky was conceived to be an organ donor for her older sister.
I can't do the transplant.
It's unethical.
Where are you? I have to Uh Hmm.
Ugh! Syd?! I need you! Sorry, Maggie, I can't.
I lost Martha! I had her ashes! They were in a shoe box, I put her down for two seconds Max.
Two seconds! [cellphone buzzes.]
- What? - Damn it.
I have a consult.
I know the last thing you want to do is help me right now, after everything Fine, go to you patient.
I'll take over the search.
You're looking for a small, red children's shoe box.
- Got it.
- Thank you! Hey, chocolate milk Dr.
Katz is in the house.
Hi, Olivia, I'm Dr.
Lin.
I'm Jesse, her fiancé.
Olivia had terrible stomach pains all night.
Okay, were you vomiting at all? Can you show me where it hurts? Does it hurt right here? No.
Okay, I'm gonna send you up for some scans just to rule out appendicitis just better to be safe than sorry.
Can you get me a bottle of water? Yeah, of course, babe.
I'll be right back.
Okay, let's cut to the chase, it's not appendicitis.
It burns when I pee.
We all know the risks of live donation.
The girls have talked to doctors and counselors and to each other.
Vicky, do you think we could talk, just the two of us for a minute? Anything you need to say to my daughter you can say in front of me.
Well, Vicky, because you're under the age of consent, the transplant will need to be approved by our ethicist.
[sniffles.]
You okay? I get emotional when Erin's sick.
- Of course.
- Can we move this along, please? I will take you to Erin's room the minute they finish setting up her dialysis.
Then we'll discuss the next steps.
Okay.
Charlie? Yeah? Um, I'd like to ask you as interim chief of surgeon Shahir, you don't have to say "interim" chief every time.
Right.
Well, I need you to reduce my hours.
What? I don't have a budget for another neuro.
You have to.
Jonathan and I are adopting a baby.
Shahir, congratulations, man.
That's great.
I'm-I'm happy for you guys.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, it's very [snoring.]
Exciting.
Hmm.
Well, I guess we don't need to drug him.
Want to grab his feet? Okay.
Hey, Doug.
[groans.]
What's going on? [straining.]
Oh.
Hey, buddy.
Long time, no see.
Oh.
Hi.
I'm Dr.
Shahir Hamza.
Hey, Doc, I really think I'm gonna ralph.
Okay, let's put him down.
- Put him down.
- Oh, right.
Put him down, put him down, put him down, put him down.
[retches.]
I've checked the ward, the nurse's station, and the lounge.
Nothing yet, but there's still lots of places to look.
Like where, the City Morgue? Have a little faith in me.
I'll find it.
Sweetie, I hate to ask, but I really feel like something to eat now, too.
Sorry to be a pain.
No, it's like practice for when we get pregnant, you know.
Getting you bacon and ice cream at 2:00 a.
m.
Either of you have kids? Do you want 'em? - I do.
- Yes.
You remember the deli we passed on the way here? Two blocks south on the west side? One corned beef sandwich, coming up.
Please tell me it's good news.
I'm afraid not, Olivia.
You tested positive for chlamydia, which means that Jesse should probably be tested, too.
Oh.
No.
No, he's fine.
We-we haven't had sex yet.
He just got out of jail.
Not for, like, murder or anything For smuggling iguanas from Brazil.
Iguanas? Yeah, he used to be a reptile wrangler for kids' birthday parties.
Oh, he's a lizard wizard.
Totally.
See, she gets it.
Anyway, we went online and, um we wrote everyday, and all of a sudden, I realized we were in love, and then suddenly, we're getting married.
And before he was being released, I [sighs.]
I had a one-night stand.
Well, you felt like things were moving too quickly, and you panicked.
It's understandable.
Well, sometimes when you meet the right person, things just happen quickly naturally.
I'm sorry, who are you? Dr.
Katz.
I'm an obstetrician.
Okay, why do I need an obstetrician? Because chlamydia can spread into the reproductive system, and if that happens, there can be complications.
What kind of complications, like, worst-case scenario? Worst-case scenario, infertility.
But Jesse and I want to start a family.
Saira: You're suggesting she's been coerced.
Look, she grew up in a house with a sister who was sick all the time, being told that she's the answer to Erin's pain and suffering.
Maybe she feels like she has to do this.
Let's hear what she has to say.
Okay.
Hi, Vicky.
I'm Saira Clemmons.
Hi.
I'd like us to get to know each other a little bit.
- Is that cool? - Mm-hmm.
All right, I'll go first.
Um, I have an older brother named Amir.
And I kind of grew up all over the place, but mostly in Thunder Bay.
- [sniffles.]
- I'm Alex.
I have three brothers two younger and one older, named Dougie.
And we grew up in St.
Catherine's.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Can I please have a tissue? Sure.
[blows.]
I wrote something.
Is that okay? Absolutely.
"My sister doesn't think I'm lame or annoying," "like most older sisters do.
" "I love Erin, even though we never get to do fun things" "like play sports or go on vacation.
" "One time, Erin didn't get sick for two months" "and we were like a normal family.
" "We even talked about going to Wonder Land.
" "Then she fainted in the shower" "and we never talked about it again.
" "I just want Erin to have a normal life.
" Am I allowed to ask questions? Whatever you want to say will help me make my decision.
I guess the one thing I really want to know, from you, Alex, what does saving a life feel like? Feels kind of awesome.
I bet it would feel even better if it was Dougie's life you saved.
May I please go to the bathroom? Of course.
I think I've heard everything I need to hear.
It's down the hall, on your right.
[laughing.]
Dr.
Sekara, you've got to see this video from my birthday.
You said you wanted a beach theme, and that's exactly what you got.
And I don't care what anybody says, I think I look fierce in that bikini.
Vicky laughed so hard, I thought she was gonna fall into the pool.
[knocks.]
Sorry to interrupt.
I just wanted to let you know that the ethicist has made her decision.
How did it go? Did Vicky convince you? Well, she is a very intelligent young lady.
And what is the decision? Vicky can decide for herself how she'd like to proceed.
[sighs.]
So you will do the transplant? If that's what Vicky wants, yes.
Where is V? You know what? She probably got lost coming back from the bathroom.
I will go find her and tell her the good news.
Dr.
Sekara.
Vicky? I'll be right out.
Is everything okay? Hey! Oh, what happened? Hey.
Nothing.
I'm fine.
Oh, my God, you are burning up.
[retches.]
Okay, all right.
It's okay, honey.
You okay? Please don't tell my parents.
I'm supposed to be the strong one.
[sighs.]
I know, sweetie, I know.
Everything is gonna be okay.
I should tell him, shouldn't I? Not necessarily.
Yes, he's your fiancé.
Well, you're not sexually active yet, so it's technically not his business.
Hmm, Dr.
Lin, could you slide the wand back over the left Fallopian tube? [beeping.]
What is it? This gray spot here looks like an abscess caused by the bacteria from your STI.
Does that mean I can't have babies? No, no, it's just a blockage right now.
We can drain it and clear the tube with a minor procedure.
I have to have surgery?! It's minimally invasive, but, yes.
No, I can't go into surgery without telling Jesse the truth.
The truth about what? We'll give you two some space.
[chuckles nervously.]
Is your arm acting up? I can write a prescription when we get back.
Dougie: Hey, can I get in on that action? [chuckles.]
You're fine with the saline, Doug.
I'm always prepared.
You know, chuckles, if you weren't such a good guy, I'd kick your ass for kidnapping me.
You're mad at Alex.
She's mad at you.
You'll work it out.
What does she have to be mad about? Uh, I guess you'll find out when you see her.
You have to make amends with your sister.
Otherwise, the whole Reid family structure will crumble.
You got a good relationship with your family? Yes.
Well Until recently.
Oh, yeah? What happened? I'm adopting a child with my partner, Jonathan.
But my parents don't approve.
- You're gay.
- Yes.
Well, screw 'em.
Your kid's lucky he's not gonna have a mom.
Billy, what are you doing here? Okay, so you know how you assigned me to Dr.
Reid and then she traded me to Dr.
Miller? - Yes.
- Well, Dr.
Katz commandeered me.
Does she even work here? [scoffs.]
The whole thing could just be some weird lesbian mating ritual between her and Dr.
Lin, which I'm totally down with.
Dr.
Williams, there were no residents assigned to my rhinoplasty.
Do you know why? I-I-I'm so sorry, Dr.
Storms.
There was a little horse trading, and, clearly, the schedule's been affected.
Get your act together, Williams.
I'm handling it.
[grunts.]
I'm handling it.
Well, Olivia came clean about her one-night stand, and Jesse walked out on her.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
But being honest was the right thing to do.
We should scrub.
Maybe for you, but people deal with their issues in different ways.
Like, say, turning their phones off? I thought we wanted the same thing.
- So did I.
- Then what's the problem? I don't know.
I'm so happy you're back.
It's just ever since you told me how you felt and you kissed me, I've been fighting this feeling almost like I'm being strangled from the inside.
That's how I make you feel? No, I'm not being clear.
No, that's the clearest you've been since I got here.
No, it's not.
I'm This is why I've been avoiding you.
I'm just I'm still processing.
Okay, great.
You process.
I'm gonna scrub in.
Hey, I I should come back.
Did you find Martha? Nada.
It is adios muchacho to that bag of ashes.
Dr.
Scott, you weren't supposed to be looking for a bag of ashes.
You're supposed to be looking for a red shoe box with ashes in it.
Well, this changes things.
Keep looking! [sighs.]
The symptoms suggest that Vicky's caught a virus and that it's become quite severe.
Oh, she didn't even know she was sick.
What kind of parents are we? Vicky always been so strong.
Doctor, we you need to know that we didn't have Vicky just to save Erin's life.
But when you have a three-year-old who's so sick she can barely open her eyes and the doctor tells you eventually she's gonna need a kidney transplant and that a related donor is the best option - Well, we always wanted a second child.
- Of course.
But you should know that until Vicky's 100% healthy, - she won't be eligible to donate.
- Yes, of course.
We-We just want both of our daughters to be healthy.
Uh, I'm sorry to interrupt you.
Dr.
Reid, we need to speak with you.
I'll see you in a moment.
As soon as Vicky's chest CT came back, I knew there was a problem.
So you paged Dr.
Bell? No, he paged me because of this.
What? She's been scanned head to toe every day of her life.
How did somebody miss this? I guess it's new.
The virus that Vicky caught has spread to her heart.
[monitor beeping rhythmically.]
It's called viral myocarditis.
The heart will continue to get weaker until it can no longer pump on its own.
Can you fix it or or reverse the effects? We can surgically implant a device.
It's called an LVAD.
[cellphone buzzes.]
That is a pump that helps the heart move the blood through the rest of the body.
Yeah, and and that will fix her? It's not a cure.
But it will help her to remain healthy for a little while longer.
With some luck, Vicky's heart could heal on its own.
What if it doesn't? She'll need a heart transplant.
Look, I know that this is a lot to process, but the sooner we get Vicky into the O.
R.
, the better her chances.
Please, just save our baby.
We'll do what we can.
Excuse us.
Okay, so we'll put her on pump first and then we'll do the implantation.
[cellphone buzzes.]
Is there something wrong? It's a family thing.
It's gonna be a while before I need you.
Happy to pinch-hit in the meantime.
Thank you.
Dr.
Bell, I've already assisted on a few LVAD insertions.
Maybe I could take the lead on this one.
Maybe.
Actually, Dr.
Bell, I'll be assisting you.
Dr.
Sekara has been reassigned.
Okay, well, you two duke it out, and whoever wins, just meet me inside.
[scoffs.]
You're poaching my surgery? If everyone's going to disregard my schedule, then so am I.
Wow.
Okay, so that's how we're doing things? I tried to play nice.
Remember this tomorrow when the new schedule comes out.
[police radio chatter.]
Just come inside and talk to her.
She deserves that much.
Even after everything, you're still beside her, backing her up.
Yep, I am.
Honey Nut Shahirios, can I offer some advice? If things go south with your family, make sure your kid knows it's not their fault.
Okay.
Dougie? Well, I'll see you inside.
Those two You got a lot of good guys in your corner.
I miss having you in my corner.
Oh, yeah.
St.
Alex.
I'm not a saint.
Yeah, explain it to me, then.
Dad hangs himself on your birthday and Mom downs a bottle of meds, and here you are, your halo still shining.
I don't want to fight with you.
Maybe I want a fight.
What would be the point? It'd be honest, for one thing.
Lord knows we're short on honesty in this family, which is why we make such good drunks.
And you'd know everything about that, wouldn't you? You know, you're too busy at the pub to help me with Mom, you're too busy running away from all your problems to pick up the phone.
I'm not the one who let her die.
"Let her die"? - Yeah.
- You're saying I let her die? You were right there.
Why didn't you try to do something to save her? Huh? You know what, Dougie, you have no idea what happened, because you weren't there.
Because you're never there.
- Ever! - Yeah.
That's right.
So why change that now? [monitor beeping rhythmically.]
Never get tired of seeing that.
Great.
Stitching the LVAD into the ventricle.
Get ready on the suction.
Scalpel.
Roxy, what are you doing? Lining up my protection stones.
Is there a problem? No.
Just thought you were a doctor.
Hey.
Everything okay? Of course.
Absolutely.
Okay, we're about to graft the inflow.
Jump in.
Well, the, uh, break seams to be setting nicely, Marvin.
That's awesome.
Can I help you? Oh, no, you've already done so much.
Oh, uh, take him up to the fracture clinic for me, would you? Thank you.
- Hi.
- I'm looking for my sister, Erin.
She was getting dialysis.
Okay, and do you know you're a ghost? I really need to find Erin.
Okay.
Well, dialysis is this way, so follow me.
That's my sister.
Dev: - Dr.
Reid? - What is it? It's Vicky's sister.
She had a stroke.
Shahir thinks it was caused by the heparin in her dialyzer.
Roxy: You've got to be kidding me.
This family can't buy a break.
[sighs.]
Where is she? With Dr.
Hamza in O.
R.
2.
Excuse me.
Dawn: Okay, the sewing cup is in place.
Where's Erin? Is she in one of these rooms? Yeah, but, uh kind of got to let the doctors do their job, right? I just want to know that she's okay.
Okay.
[door opens.]
Hey, what's going on, Charlie? Um, I was just talking to Vicky.
Just talking to her? Just talking to her.
Well, that's not a good sign, is it? No, I would assume not.
You haven't seen her sister around, have you? - No, why? - Because these girls are hanging by a thread.
I've got one whose kidney is shot, and the other one's heart is failing her.
And if they don't wake up soon, it's just Okay, okay.
I'll do what I can.
Great.
Thank you.
Well, you heard the nice lady doctor.
Let's get you back inside your body, right? - Vee? - Erin! You won't believe it! I finally feel better! - [laughs.]
- Come on! [both laughing.]
Charlie? What's wrong? Um Nothing I can't handle.
[siren wails in distance.]
Port sights look good.
How are you feeling? I can't believe I told him.
[chuckles.]
Dr.
Katz, I ruined the best relationship I ever had.
Remember, if you have any pain or bruising around the incisions, I want you to come back right away, okay? [knock on door.]
Look who I found.
Jesse! Oh, you brought flowers.
They're so pretty.
Red flowers mean love, I think.
Do they mean love? Yeah, they do.
[sighs.]
I know you're scared.
We haven't spent very much time together.
Liv, you're my best friend.
Same.
And if it's okay with you, I'd still really like to be your husband.
I love you, too.
I want to be your wifey.
- We should talk.
- I can help you find Martha's ashes, but then I think it's best if we keep our distance.
No, I don't want to [cellphone dings.]
I'm sorry.
Just one second.
The urn is here! Wait, it's not here, it's at a depot across town, - and they close in an hour.
- An hour?! No, I say we forget the urn and focus on the ashes.
We don't have the ashes.
Then we'll get someone else's.
My cousin, Jerry, he can get his hands on anything if you give him a few hours and pay cash.
What are you talking about? I'm not switching out Martha's ashes.
Okay, then we'll divide to conquer.
You get the urn before the place closes, I'll rally the troops and find the ashes.
We can do this, Maggie! Ready, jump! [laughing.]
Guys, I know this seems like fun, but it's actually quite dangerous.
Well, we've never felt closer.
Why would we give that up? Because the longer you stay out of your bodies, the harder it's gonna be to get back in them.
[monitor beeping quickly.]
Dev: Blood won't stop coming.
There must be several micro-capillary ruptures.
If we don't relieve the pressure quickly It will block the blood flow to the brain.
That's right.
And then she won't ever wake up again.
Thank you.
Here it comes.
Ready? Jump! [laughing.]
It feels like you're suspended in space for, like, a split second.
Come on, Charlie! Hit the 2 button.
We'll all jump together.
You got to think about the long lives you're gonna have together once you're both healthy.
You can go to the same colleges, you can backpack across wherever.
2 minutes, 55 seconds.
Okay, I found the bleeder.
Suction, please.
You're gonna have your whole lives in front of you, but you got to be alive.
[flatline.]
- Whoa.
- What is it? I feel really light all of a sudden like I'm floating for real.
Am I floating? Shahir? What happened to the girl in O.
R.
2? She had a hemorrhagic stroke.
I couldn't restore the blood flow in time.
I should inform the parents.
[clears throat.]
I don't feel dead.
I don't feel anything.
[sighs.]
Yeah, that's that's because a ventilator is breathing for you.
All I wanted was a little more time to feel normal, to be with Vicky.
I didn't know that this was going to happen.
It's okay.
Now we can stay like this forever.
No.
No, you can't.
I'm sorry.
Vicky you still have a chance.
But not with Erin.
Erin your little sister needs you.
I think it's time to step up.
Vicky, we don't have much time.
I'm not going.
Listen, you've done everything that you can for me.
Okay? Now it's time to live your life for you.
Do it for me.
Please.
Go on the rides at Wonder Land the biggest, scariest ones.
Scream at the top of your lungs.
It's the last thing I'll ever ask of you.
I promise.
Ready to close.
[rapid beeping.]
Well, it doesn't make any sense.
The VAD is working properly.
She must be in RV failure.
Close her up.
What does that mean, the LVAD's not enough? No, the heart muscle is too weak to pick up the slack.
Keep her heart beating.
I'll be right back.
Let's get her back on pump.
What's going on? Vicky was stable, now her vitals are on the floor.
Um Erin didn't survive her surgery.
She's brain dead.
And, uh Vicky doesn't want to leave without her sister.
Well, Charlie, we can't lose them both.
I know.
Maybe there's a way we can save Vicky and let them stay together.
That's all we want.
Give Vicky Erin's heart.
When no one ever tells you Oh, how will you know That we were not designed to carry mountains And we were never meant to walk alone And everybody's heart breaks No matter who you are The fire burns much brighter in the darkness So let's kill the lights and look up at the stars I know it's bad So bad And we are tired of this bad weather It's bad So bad But all that bad makes the good better Okay.
[sighs.]
[cellphone buzzes.]
Alex Reid.
Oh, uh [chuckles.]
Oh, that's that's just not possible.
That that's not gonna work.
Well, I-I can't exactly check my voicemail while I'm in the middle of a heart transplant, so you-you No, no, you listen.
My mom may not have been a saint, but she deserves to be remembered by the people that loved her in the beautiful garden terrace that I booked over a week ago.
[voice breaking.]
No, I understand.
[sobs softly.]
[sighs.]
Well I'm an ass.
You are.
I've been stuck in a loop for since we were kids.
Missing Dad, blaming Mom.
Resenting you for rising above it all.
Lexi, I'm not mad at you.
I'm mad because I thought I was gonna have a chance to patch things up with Mom.
Before she died she reached out to me, and I just thought I had more time.
Yeah.
But I'm here now.
I want to come to the memorial.
Oh.
[sighs.]
That's the thing, there there is no memorial now.
It's double-booked.
They just called, so [sighs.]
Well you and I both know when the Reids want to party, no, nothing can stop us.
[laughs.]
Give me an hour.
An hour? All right? Okay.
[sighs.]
Okay, Charlie, why am I blindfolded? Um 'Cause your brother's a weird guy.
[chuckles.]
Yeah, but I do love him.
Mm-hmm.
Hang on, hang on there.
Okay.
All right, the big reveal.
All right.
Wow.
I hope it's okay.
I know it's not a fancy garden party.
Are you kidding me? It's perfect! Mom would love this.
How did you do this in an hour? Well, you know, after you called me an alcoholic, I went to a pub on the corner.
And as it turns out, the guy who runs the place had his own party planned for tonight.
So I went back asked and him if we could borrow it and told him the family sob story.
You're incredible.
Hey, at least the family curse finally worked to our advantage, huh? Uh, him and his buddies are coming at 10:00.
I hope that's not weird.
Well, you know Mom's party motto the more, the merrier! Let's get our drink on! [laughter.]
You okay? You're being quiet.
I had a young patient today I couldn't save her.
[sighs.]
I can't stop thinking about her parents.
It's this adoption, Jonathan.
It's making me feel things I don't want to feel.
It's making me a worse doctor.
Look, I can't control how you're feeling, Shahir but I can be here for you.
Alex, there are no words to describe the remorseful feelings that I feel.
Alex: Maggie? The urn it's beautiful.
- Isn't it? - Yeah.
- It's also empty.
- What? We thought you'd want to put the ashes in yourself.
Of course.
Thanks, Maggs.
Please do not tell me those are from cousin Jerry.
No.
It's Martha! Thank you! [chuckles.]
Let's take a walk.
I'm really happy you're here.
Ever since I met you, I've wondered what it would be like to be with you to actually be with you.
Is that such a frightening prospect? It's paralyzing, actually.
It's like I've been waiting three years for Christmas, and now it's finally here and I'm Jewish.
Both: [chuckles.]
What if we can't live up to the expectations? You know, today, we kind of fast-forwarded through a Shidduch.
What is that? It's an Orthodox thing It's when you go on a series of dates and you talk about big things like morals and values, and by the end of it, you know if you're compatible or not.
I'm gonna say we didn't pass with flying colors.
No, we did not.
But it didn't make me want to be with you any less.
Maggie, I don't want some epic, tortured love affair with you.
I just want you.
Okay.
Promise me you're not gonna leave again.
I'm not going anywhere without you.
Sow your dreams Where nobody knows Dougie? You know, my son's never met you.
Yeah, maybe he's better off.
No, he's not.
He needs an uncle.
He needs someone who's going to teach him to drive five years too soon and someone to talk to about his first crush when he's too embarrassed to tell me or Charlie.
Now, listen to me, Dougie you are a good man.
And I want my kids to know you.
Kids, huh? Are you having more little brats? [sighs.]
Are you pregnant? Yes.
And it's Charlie's I just want to get ahead of that.
[laughs.]
You're such a Reid! Oh! Anybody want a fresh drink? You're having a baby! [laughs.]
Whoa! Okay, all right, Doug, all right.
Whoo! These guys are pregnant.
[crowd murmurs.]
Alex: Uh, yes.
It's true.
Charlie and I are having another baby.
[indistinct chatter.]
To Alex and Charlie.
All: - To Alex and Charlie! - Cheers.
Alex: Thank you.
Anyways, I just wanted to thank everybody, uh, for coming today to celebrate Mom.
So if you could all raise a glass.
To Martha.
To Martha.
To Martha.
All: To Martha.
[chuckling.]
Oh, my God, I found fireworks.
Must be a sign from Martha.
Want to do it? Both: Send her off in a blaze of glory.
Something with All that panic today, and they're feeding her to the fish.
It's beautiful.
It's her Viking send-off.
No time No time Alex: In the end, Martha's legacy wasn't her flaws as a mother or her illness.
It's in Jasper's lust for life.
It's Dougie's big, bleeding heart.
For me, I guess it's my optimism.
Because my mother always saw the best in people, even when she couldn't see the best in herself.
She loved deeply and as best she could.
And, really, that's all anyone can ask for.
Rest in peace, Mom.
You deserve it.
[fireworks exploding.]
No time
