- You've been helping me do my
job better since you got here.

- I couldn't help it.

- No need to help it.

The fart doctor now.

Punchline.

- What happened
today was a result

of a medical ailment, okay?

- Like anyone's gonna
care about that.

- Jack wants to convert Med
into a for-profit hospital.

He wants to put it
to a board vote.

- If Jack succeeds, there
goes Med as we know it.

- I'm officially in
end-stage renal disease.

- Sean would be your
best-possible donor match.

- That's not an option.

- Your dad, his health
is getting worse.

He can't know that you
learned this from me.

Hey.

Hey!
- Hey.

- What are you doing here?
- I was in the neighborhood.

- Yeah?
- Thought I'd swing by.

- All right. Come
in. You hungry?

Got some oatmeal.

- Oh, no, I'm good. Thanks.

- Got your scrubs on.

Going to work?

- It's Wednesday.

What's going on?

Why are you really here?

Can I have a word
with you, please?

- Yeah, you look like
a man on a mission.

What's going on?
- Sean stopped by this morning.

- Mm-hmm.

- To offer me one
of his kidneys.

- Whoa, that's... that's an
incredibly generous gift.

- Yeah, he just decided
to do it out of the blue,

for some reason.

- I just felt like
Sean needed to know

how bad you're actually doing.

- Why, because he's
a blood relative,

and so he might have a shot
at being a match for me?

You put him up to this.

- Offering you a kidney
was all Sean's idea.

- He has not thought
this through, Hannah!

- He has thought through
what it'll be like

to lose his father.

- He doesn't know what it
means to give up a kidney,

and I'm not gonna let
him find out, either!

- Dr. Archer?
- What?

- I'm sorry, uh,

you have a patient
waiting in trauma 2.

- Be right there.

You went to Sean,
against my wishes.

- I wanted to help you.

- You wanna help me?

How about stay out of my life?

I've been really tired

these past few days,

and I can tell
something's wrong.

Two years ago, I was
diagnosed with myelodysplastic

neoplasm, unclassifiable.

- That's a stem cell
disease, if I'm not mistaken.

Incredibly rare.

- And always with
the threat of turning

into leukemia, unfortunately.

- Kira, show
Dr. Archer the folder.

- Sorry, I must have
left it in the car.

- Kira, I reminded
you three times.

- That's all right, Kimberly.

I've got plenty to work
off of here in your chart.

It says here you've been on
steroids since your diagnosis.

- That's all I can do
to fight the disease.

For now.

Unless a stem cell donor
comes to the rescue.

But I haven't had
much luck with that.

I'm a hard match.

Kira?

Kir... Kira!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Let me get her in another room.

- It's official.

My new house opened escrow.

I feel jittery.

- Well, I mean, I'd be
worried if you didn't.

It's a big deal.

And cause for celebration.
I'm taking you out tonight.

Any restaurant you
want, any restaurant.

- My apartment.

- Oh.
- I'm making golumpki.

Don't ask.

You will love it.

Oh, and my brother's
coming, too...

Pavo.

I was wanting you to meet him.

- Pavo?
- Mm-hmm.

- Golumpki? I'm in.

- Okay.
- 8:00?

- 7:30.
- Okay.

- You help me cook.

- See you there.
- Good.

- Dr. Charles, do
you have a minute?

- Yes.

- My patient in
treatment 3 is deaf.

He was clipped by a motorcycle
speeding through a crosswalk.

Banged up a shoulder...
Nothing too bad.

- Okay.
- His sister is here with him,

and she asked if they
could see a psychiatrist

as soon as possible.

I asked for a certified
ASL interpreter,

but they're out
today with COVID,

so she's been helping
out on that front.

- Okay.

Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Good morning,
I'm Dr. Charles.

- Hi, uh, I'm Sandy.

And this is my brother, Aiden.

- Nice to, uh, nice
to meet you both.

What's... what's going
on? How can I help?

- That.

That's what's going on.

Aiden's hearing voices.

Free Browser extension: osdb.link/ext

- So Aiden, can you, uh...

Can Aiden read lips?

- He's okay. Not great.

It's usually best if I
just interpret through ASL.

- Got it.
- Aiden.

Hey, Aiden, pay
attention to Dr. Charles.

He's here to help you.

- So Aiden, have you... Have
you been deaf since birth?

- No, I...

When I was a young kid, I
got sick, and I became deaf.

He had meningitis
as a nine-year-old.

- Got it.

And so these voices that
you've been hearing...

I mean, what are they like?

What kinds of things
are they saying to you?

- Yeah, the voices
that I hear...

They're gentle and kind.

They ask a lot of questions.

They tell me things.

Like today, they told
me to go outside...

Head to Navy Pier...

- And enjoy the sunny day.

- And that's where
the accident happened.

- I was crossing the street,

and I didn't see a
motorbike coming.

- I can certainly
understand how this would be

a very intriguing, even
exciting development for you.

- Yes. Yes.

I can hear again.

- So you know what, Aiden?

I'd like to order some
tests to just determine

if maybe there have been
any neurological changes

that you've undergone recently.

- You think these are real
voices Aiden's hearing?

Asking him questions, telling
him to go to Navy Pier?

- I think it's
important for Aiden

that we rule out any
physiological developments

before we do anything else.

- Fine. Let's run the test.

- I'm just gonna
need his permission.

- Yep. You got him.
- Okay. Great.

- Hi, Kira. I'm Dr. Asher.

How are you feeling?

- Better. I'm not
sure what happened.

- Well, you fainted.

Your blood work showed
that you were dehydrated.

And it also revealed
that you're pregnant.

Did you already know this, Kira?

- Are you gonna tell my mom?

- No, not if you
don't want me to.

- Please don't.

She won't understand.

- Okay.

Hey, you think maybe I
can do an ultrasound?

So you and I can check
out the fetus together?

Yeah? Okay, great.

I'm just gonna
pull this up, okay?

- I haven't done this part yet.

Kind of nervous.

- Do not worry.

It will not hurt
at all, I promise.

Just might be a little
cold in the beginning.

Okay, here we go.

All right.

That is the heartbeat.

From its size, it looks
to be about 20 weeks.

- What's wrong?

- Usually, the fetus
and the placenta

are attached to the
inside of the uterus,

but that's not what I'm seeing.

- What are you seeing?

- I am not exactly sure,

so we are going to
send you for an MRI

to get a more precise look.

- This seems really bad.

- All right, let's not get
ahead of ourselves, all right?

And I will be right
here with you.

- So Kira is awake,
stable, and another doctor

is checking on her as we speak.

- It's drugs, isn't it?

She's been so out of it
recently, so secretive.

- We'll know more
about Kira soon.

I do have your results, however.

- You have a low-grade fever.

Your white blood count is low,

which means your
immune system is weak.

Here on your chest X-ray,

all right, you have
these small infiltrates

in your lungs, which is a sign
that you could have pneumonia.

So I'm gonna start you on
antibiotics, just in case.

- Okay, but I need to know
what's going on with Kira.

You have to tell me something.

Please?

- Okay, just sit tight.

I'll see what I can do.

What's the status with Kira Ray?

- Still working her up.

- Yeah, well, her mother
would like to be looped in.

- Well, when I have
something to report,

if Kira gives the
okay, I'll share it.

- Oh, so now, you're concerned
about confidentiality, huh?

You do realize that Kira
is a minor and Kimberly

has the legal right to know
her daughter's health status?

- I'm well aware of the
issues surrounding my patient,

whom you are not treating.

- Okay, everyone.
Gravity rounds.

We'll start from the top
and work our way down, okay?

Oh, and let's not forget to
welcome back Dr. Tanaka-Reid.

Glad to have you
back on your feet.

- Thank you, Thank you.
- All right.

Let's get it.

All right, hey.

Everyone get that
out of your systems?

- Oops. Yeah.

- All right,
let's go. Come on.

- Too bad you didn't go
into anesthesia, pal.

'Cause you really
know how to pass gas.

- I'm just saying,
it's not as cut

and dry as you make it sound.

- Well, we're a hospital.

We're entrusted
with saving lives.

I don't see how turning a
profit even comes into it.

- Advanced technology
costs money, Will.

For-profit hospitals are able
to provide better services,

state-of-the-art diagnostics...

- While gouging the
average Joe, who just needs

a chest X-ray and
some antibiotics.

- I'm not saying
it's a panacea, Will.

I'm just saying money is
not the root of all evil.

- It's like I'm
dating Gordon Gekko.

Why do I get the feeling like
I'm sleeping with the enemy?

- I've got surgery to get to.

See you in a bit.

- What about Abe and Ginny?

- Well, they're
both backing Jack.

- To turn Med into a
for-profit hospital?

That's surprising.

- Well, Jack can be
pretty persuasive.

- And he's selling
it as the only way

to keep Med on the cutting
edge of medical advancement.

- Like OR 2.0.

We've got 10 votes
for and 5 against.

Now, Jack needs a 2/3 majority

to abandon our
non-profit status, so...

- It seems I'm
the deciding vote.

- We're hoping we can
count on you, Vernon.

- Yeah.

- I've been proud to
sit on this hospital's

board for 23 years.

As far as I'm concerned,

if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Well, maybe if it's
badly sprained.

- Thank you, Vernon.
This is a big relief.

- Yeah, as long as we won't have

any last-minute defections,

I think we can breathe... easy.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, yeah, just a headache
I can't seem to shake.

- You look pretty
wobbly there, brother.

- A couple of
aspirin, I'll be fine.

- Oh! Vernon?

I don't know why I got
so dizzy all of a sudden.

- So Aiden's scans
came back, all right?

No sign of a stroke,
nothing on the MRI,

labs came back clean,

all of which suggests...

- He still can't hear anything.
- Correct.

And so at this point,
I have a strong hunch

that what we're
probably looking at

is an early presentation
of schizophrenia

or schizoaffective disorder.

- What do we do?

There's gotta be some
sort of medication

he can take to make
the voices go away.

- There are a lot of options.
It's a treatable disease, okay?

First thing we
need to do, though,

is just to bring
Aiden up to speed.

- Aiden is wondering
why it's a bad thing

for him to hear voices.

- Look, you're hearing things
for the first time in years,

and it's wonderful, right?

These voices, they're
kind, they're gentle.

Problem is, that's very
likely gonna change.

Chances are good
that these voices

could become unpleasant.

They might even ask
you to do something

that could put
you in harm's way.

- Aiden's wondering
if medication

is the best treatment.

- Medication is an
excellent treatment.

Okay, I've had
countless patients

who have been helped
tremendously by medication.

- Will the voices
go away completely?

- You know, there's
no ironclad guarantee.

At the very least, they
will be tamped down,

if not suppressed altogether.

- Then yeah, I want to do that.

Can we start now?

- Absolutely. Yeah.

We can absolutely start now.

Okay.

Well, great.
- Thank you.

- Wonderful.

Well done. It's a big step.

A nurse will be in
shortly, and I'll be back

to check up on you
later in the day, okay?

- So you said you've been

experiencing headaches recently?

- Uh, off and on
for about ten days.

- Okay, well, Vernon,
I'm inclined to send you

for a head CT, just to be safe,

but in the meantime,
here, follow my finger.

- Morning, Tess.

- Oh, wow.

Who are you looking to impress?

Impress?

I had to get my driver's
license renewed.

You know I have to
live with that thing

for, like, five years.

- True. You look fabulous.

- Thank you. Better
go get changed.

- All righty.

- Seizing!

2 milligrams of
Ativan, IM, stat.

- It's okay!

Everything's gonna
be all right, Vernon!

Hold on!

- I don't understand.

He was fine this morning,
and now you're telling me

he has some kind of brain tumor?

- A noncancerous tumor.

- "Acoustic neuroma"
is the technical term.

It's most likely
been growing slowly

over the past few months,

compressing your
husband's brain stem

and impacting his
hearing and balance.

- So how do we fix it.?

- I go in and take it out.

- But it is open-brain
surgery, right?

What are the potential risks?

- Well, because of
the tumor's location,

it might be tricky to resect.

There's an elevated risk
of asymmetric paralysis.

- His face?

- Phyllis, Dr. Abrams is the
best neurosurgeon in the city.

- That's true.

- Are there any other options?

- Any updates?
- Not yet.

And I guess with
this development,

the vote's gonna need
to be canceled now.

Jack's looking
to push the agenda as is.

- You're kidding.
- No.

He's eager to come
to a quick resolution

so that everyone can
have an extended break

while Vernon recuperates.

- Yeah, and he can
secure his 2/3 majority.

- Well, Jack didn't
make his fortune

by not taking advantage
of opportunities.

- She's electing
to forgo surgery

and move forward with a
noninvasive radio treatment.

Abrams is hopeful that will
shrink the tumor over time.

- When can he be extubated?
- I don't know.

Even intubated, we're
still having trouble

controlling his seizures.

Well, I'll
go whip the vote again.

See if I can flip someone.

- They're still gonna
have the vote today?

- Don't even concern yourself
with that, Dr. Halstead.

Just see that Vernon gets
the best care possible.

- What do we got?

- 35-year-old Brendan
Metz, took multiple GSWs

stopping a bank robbery.

Hole in right thigh, actively
bleeding when we got him.

- Pressure stable.

Lost about 500 mils of blood

before we got the
tourniquet on him.

Pushed 50 mikes of
fentanyl on the way over.

- Okay, hey, Brendan,
you're at Chicago Med.

We're gonna take good
care of you, okay?

Hang in there for me, bud.

Nice and easy, on
my count, okay?

One, two, three.

- Thank you, Matt, Juliette.

So Brendan, seems you're
some kind of hero, huh?

- I feel more like a
fool at the moment.

- Well, the world could use
a lot more fools like you.

What are we looking at?

- Hole number one, right
anterior axillary line

at the umbilicus.

Number two, midaxillary line
at the flank at the same level.

- Okay, do they connect?

- Uh, yeah, I think so.

- Let me swab.

Definitely connecting
our superficial.

How about the leg? Thank you.

- Um, two holes here as well.

Number three, mid-medial
thigh, four, lateral mid-thigh.

- No pulses with
a tourniquet up,

so let's go ahead
and loosen that,

see what we're working with.

Type and cross him for 6 and 6,
and push one of each for now.

- Definitely arterial.

It's a hard sign.

Go ahead and retighten
the tourniquet,

and get me X-rays of
the leg and torso.

Come here.

What was that?

Rookie mistake, putting yourself

in the line of fire like that.

- I guess I'm just a
little off my game.

- All right. Go get
changed and cleaned up.

- Kira, have you ever heard of
the term "ectopic pregnancy"?

It's when a fertilized
egg implants

in the outside of the uterus.

- Is that what's
happening to me?

- Mm-hmm.

Your MRI revealed that
you have a rare type

of an ectopic pregnancy.

It's called an
abdominal pregnancy.

The fetus has attached
to the vena cava,

which is a huge vein
that leads to your heart.

- But the baby's okay, right?

I mean, we saw its heartbeat.

- Yeah, at the moment, it is.

But if the placenta damages
the vena cava for any reason,

that could cause severe
internal bleeding,

which would, in turn, put
your life in jeopardy.

- So what are you saying?

- For your safety,

you need to have surgery
to remove the fetus.

- Will the baby survive?

- At only 20 weeks, no.

I'm so sorry.

No. No,
you don't understand.

My mom needs this baby.

- What do you mean?

- My mom has a rare
stem cell disease.

It's why we came in today.

She needs a donor, but the
doctors couldn't find one,

and I'm not a match
for her, so...

So I got pregnant.

- Okay, in hopes that
this baby would be

a stem cell match for your mom?

- Yeah.

- Okay, Kira, this is a human
being that we're talking about.

- I know, but I'm
gonna raise the baby,

and I'm gonna be a good mom.

- You're so young, Kira.

Being a mom right now,

your life would
never be the same.

- I can do this, and I want to!

And you know, I always
planned on having kids,

so why not start now?

- Because it's just too
dangerous right now, Kira.

- But what if we waited a
little bit and let the baby

grow a little more
before the surgery?

I mean, would it survive then?

- Hey, you're free, right?

I'd love your eyes on
this acoustic neuroma.

- Hmm.

- You think your mapping
tech could help, you know,

someone like Abrams
confidently resect that?

- Abrams wants a second
opinion from 2.0?

That's hard to believe.

- I'm just doing some
extra legwork for a patient

I'm concerned about.

- Well, let's upload the CT
and MRI and see what they say.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I know,
I know! It's okay!

Aiden!

Stop, please, look at me!

Aiden, Aiden, Aiden!

- What happened?
- I don't know!

- It's okay, buddy!

What's he saying?
What's he saying?

- I don't know!
- Take it easy, buddy.

- Wait!
- Soft restraints, please!

- Calm down!
- 5 of Haldol.

- Calm down, Aiden!

- Uh, care to explain your plans

for this abdominal pregnancy?

- Of course you
checked Kira's chart.

- She needs surgery immediately.

Move her upstairs.

- I'm holding off for now.
- Why?

- Kira wants to
delay the surgery

until the baby is viable.

She hopes that it could be

a stem cell match
for her mother.

- Oh, you're joking.
You're joking.

- It's the reason
Kira got pregnant.

- That is absurd!

And morally repugnant.

She might as well
be organ harvesting.

- She's operating from a
place of care and concern,

not just about her
mother, but for the baby,

and she seems pretty
clear-headed about it.

- That cannot possibly
be what her mother wants.

If you can't convince
Kira to change her mind,

then Kimberly will.

- Kira doesn't want her mother
knowing anything about this.

And she has medical emancipation

because she's pregnant,

so she can do
anything she wants.

- So good news, Brendan.

The bullet you took
in your side passed

through your love handle.

It's superficial, and
there's nothing more to do.

It'll heal on its own.

Your leg, however...

it's gonna need surgery
emergently, okay?

We're gonna have
to fix the artery,

or you will lose your leg.
- The OR is ready right now.

We just need you to
sign the consent forms,

and we'll bring you up, okay?

- You're in good
hands, all right?

- Is my leg gonna be all right?

- Excuse me?

Well, I prom...

I promised my kid

I'd coach his soccer
team next season.

I'll be able to
do that, won't I?

- We can for sure
fix the artery.

But the nerve runs
right next to it.

We won't know if
you'll have full motor

and sensory function
until after...

- Walk in the park
for us, Brendan.

Don't you fret a lick now, okay?

- Okay.

- What was that?

- I was just answering
his question.

- No, you were
raising a patient's

stress level unnecessarily.

- He needed to be informed.
Things happen in surgery.

- Why would anything go wrong?

- For any number of
reasons. I don't know.

- Is this about the teasing?

- Is what about the teasing?

- All right, look.

You've been lording over
Liam and the other residents

for almost a year now.

You had to assume they'd
try to knock you down a peg

if they found a
vulnerability, and well,

you gift-wrapped them a doozy.

Whatever. It happened.

Proves you're human.

Laugh it off, and don't
let them get to you.

- I'm not letting
them get to me.

- Maybe it's best if
I sit this one out.

- I'm sorry.

I don't have the
manpower to spare.

- Sorry to interrupt.

Not sure if you heard,
but Vernon's wife

okayed the craniectomy.

- She's moving forward
with the surgery?

- Dr. Abrams and Song are
prepping OR 2.0 as we speak.

- What got Phyllis
to change her mind?

- Once Dr. Song confirmed 2.0
could reduce much of the risk,

I guess she felt the assurance
she needed to go ahead.

- Wow.

When can we expect
Vernon to come out

from under anesthesia?

- From what I understand,
about three or four hours.

- Ha!

Perhaps I can delay the vote.

At least until Vernon wakes up.

Good job, Dr. Halstead.

- Hey, Mags, if I
recall correctly,

you know ASL, right?

- That means yes.

- Okay. What does this mean?

- Something like, "You
take voices away."

- Huh.

You know, I'm treating
a deaf patient,

and his sister's been
interpreting for us.

I'm starting to wonder if...

I don't know... we're
getting our signals crossed

or something like that.

- You want me to spy for you?

- Too strong a word.

How are we doing?

You think it might be time
to get these restraints off?

See if we can maybe figure
out what happened earlier.

- Aiden's calmed down a lot.
- Great.

- Uh, Aiden's upset because
the voices told him the nurses

were gonna make his
shoulder pain worse.

- Um, Aiden, I'm sorry.

Risperidone is typically one of
the faster-acting medications,

but sometimes takes
a little longer.

So how about... how about
we check back in a bit,

and maybe we can
have a chat then?

Okay?

He didn't say anything
about a nurse, did he?

- He's upset because he
can't hear the voices

in his head anymore.

And he suspects it's
because of the pills

that he's been given.

- Yeah, the antipsychotics,

which I dispensed
with his permission.

Or so I was told.

- He thought it was painkillers,

not antipsychotics.

- Huh.

- Her BP is dropping, and
her hemoglobin's down to 8.

- Kira?
- It hurts! It hurts!

- Free fluid in the
belly, likely blood.

Kira, we can't hold off
on the surgery any longer.

Call the OR, tell
them to open it stat.

We're bringing
Kira up right away.

- No! Please, no!

- I need to talk
to you about Kira.

- I need you for a second.
- Please, no!

- If at any point
during the surgery

you have to make the call
between Kira and the fetus,

please, please,
save my little girl.

- We have every intention
of doing just that.

- We'll have someone keep
you in the loop, Kimberly.

I thought you should
hear that for yourself.

- I cannot believe you told her.

What about HIPAA?

- Her daughter is heading
into emergency surgery.

If there's a crisis and a
decision needs to be made,

it's Kimberly who'll do it.

- Just came from the pharmacy.

They wouldn't fill Aiden's
prescription for Risperidone?

- Well, I canceled it,
Sandy, because it turns out

it was prescribed without the
permission of the patient.

We should probably have a talk.

- She knows ASL?

- She does.

- What's he saying?

- He's saying that he knows
that she's been lying to him.

- Take the medication.

I was trying to help you.

- But the voices...

They aren't real.

- Aiden says that
he doesn't care

that the voices are not real.

- Sandy, the only way that

we're gonna forge
a path forward...

- I'm not sure there
is a path forward here.

Aiden only cares about hearing
the voices in his head.

And I won't stand by and watch

if you won't do
anything about it.

- Okay, great.

Looks like we have enough length

to sew the two ends
directly together.

5-0 Prolene stitch.

- I'm sorry, Dr. Marcel?

- What is it?

- I was told to inform
you that there is

an emergent situation
in the OR 2.0

that requires your
immediate attention.

- They're aware I'm in
the middle of surgery?

- They are aware, yes.

- Oh, come on. All
right, everyone.

Dr. Tanaka-Reid will continue
on with the anastomosis

until I return.
Follow his lead.

- We can wait
until you get back.

- No, I don't wanna
prolong his ischemic timing

any more than necessary.

Get the anastomosis done.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

- That's great.
Thank you, Trish.

Go ahead and pull up the
feed in there so I can watch.

- Sure.

All right.

Here goes.
- Awesome. Thank you.

- Trust me, I get how
frustrating it can be

to try and help somebody
who doesn't want it.

- He has no idea
what he's doing.

- You know, I'm
not sure any of us

can really understand what
he's going through right now.

- You must think I'm
a horrible person.

- Do not.

Not at all.

I understand how difficult
it can be for family members

to get this kind of news.

And I completely get
the impulse to just

wanna fix it immediately.

- You know, I had my own issues
with mental illness before.

I know it's not schizophrenia,
but I suffered with depression.

- Really?

- It was especially bad
after our parents died.

Car accident.

Aiden was still in high
school at the time.

- Oh, man.

I can't even imagine.

- Aiden got by somehow.

Maybe it was because
he had already suffered

his own personal tragedy,
losing his hearing,

but he was more resilient.

I was such a mess.

My meds saved my life.

I don't know what I would
do without them, honestly.

And I can't stomach the
idea of watching Aiden

go through anything
like what I did.

- I get it. I do.

Have you ever told Aiden
about any of this stuff?

- The last thing
I'd ever wanna do

is burden Aiden
with my problems.

He doesn't need that.

- I think you might
be surprised by what

he's capable of handling.

You know, people who learn
to manage this disease,

I mean, they live
full, productive lives.

I mean, they can, really.

You know, listen, outcomes
improve significantly

when loving family
members stay involved.

So you know, he's gonna
be relying on you,

especially at first.

But with a little luck,
sooner rather than later,

he's probably gonna be
able to return that favor.

And, um, how wonderful
would that be?

- Vernon should be out of
surgery any minute now.

- Strange how Phyllis
changed her mind.

- Happens pretty
frequently, actually.

A big decision like that,

sometimes people need a
little time to process.

- So how'd it go?

- Fairly certain we got
a complete resection.

No problem with the margins,
as far as I can tell.

Electrophysiology
looked perfect.

- But you don't know
for sure yet, right?

So how long exactly
until he wakes up?

- I'm a brain surgeon, Jack.

Not a soothsayer.

- Is it gonna be today?
- What can I say, Jack?

When he's ready to be
extubated, he will be.

Jack seems awfully interested
in Vernon's recovery time.

- Pretty sure it's about
the board meeting later.

He's probably sweating
now that Vernon might

be able to vote against him.

- Vernon's the deciding vote?

- That's what I hear.

- Were you aware of that when
you urged me to get involved?

I heard rumors of you
acting like a cowboy.

- That's not what
happened today.

I came here out of
concern for the patient.

- Who are you trying
to convince with that?

Me or you?

- Well, your facial
movement's symmetrical,

and your hearing
appears to be intact.

- What a relief.
Thank you all.

- Well, I understand a
celebration is in order.

- It appears so.

My apologies to
everyone for the scare.

- The board is gonna be
excited to hear the news.

Speaking of, the
meeting's about to start.

Look, Vernon, no one
would question you

if you opted to
sit this one out.

- Well, I certainly
don't feel like I'm ready

to get out of bed, but I
wonder if it'd be possible

for me to video-conference in.

- Of course, we can
make that happen.

- Great.

Well, I'll see you then.

- Triphasic signals.

- Well, is that good?

- Pulse is strong.

Exactly what we were hoping for.

In a few weeks, you
can start getting ready

for soccer season.

- Man, thank you.

Thank you both.

- You bet.

Nice job, by the way.

- Like you said, I could
handle it on my own.

- Indeed.

- I checked the board
when I got out of surgery

and noticed that
Abrams was using

the OR 2.0 this afternoon.

No record of you
stepping in at all.

- Yeah.

Wires must have gotten
crossed somewhere.

It was actually Onc
Surg that needed a hand.

- I know you're
probably lying to me.

But I'm appreciative
nonetheless.

- It'll be okay.
- Kira!

- Mom?

- Is she gonna be okay?
- Yes.

She has some recovery
time ahead of her,

but she'll be okay.

Unfortunately, we were not
able to save the fetus.

- I'm so sorry, Mom.

- Oh, Kira, honey,
what were you thinking?

- You need a stem cell donor.

I thought that maybe if
I had a baby, then...

- Look at me, honey.

I'm gonna be...

We're gonna get through this.

We haven't found a donor yet,

but these things,
they take time.

- What if we can't?

- We just have to be brave.

I know that won't
be hard for you.

- We're gonna give
you some privacy.

- Boy, is she lucky.
- Oh, absolutely.

Kira could have died today.

- I'm talking about Kimberly.

How unbelievably lucky
she is to have a daughter

willing to make such a
generous act of love.

- How are Aiden and Sandy doing?

- Yeah, it looks like
they're working it out.

- Aw, looks like they made up.

- Yeah.

Nothing like coming clean
to re-establish trust.

- Hey.

Can we talk?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

All right. Uh...

This morning, your offer...

You realize what this
could mean, right?

If you have some sort
of health crisis someday

with only one kidney left...

- I know what I'm risking.

- You do not have to do this.

- Dad, you don't understand.

I need to do this.

- If you turn out
to be a match, uh,

I won't say no.

Na zdrowie.

- And golumpki?

Oh, my gosh, delicious.

- Thank you.

- Liliana is a wonderful cook.

And you know what?

She can clean.

A professional.

You don't need a maid now.

- Pavo.
- What?

It was a joke!

Here.

- No, I'm good.

Thank you very much.
It's delicious.

I gotta drive, gotta drive.

- Oh, good!

Responsible.

So.

Pan Daniel.

- Pan? Pan Daniel?

- It means "sir."

- You are an important
man with an important job.

- Oh, I don't know about that.

Um, can't imagine
doing anything else.

Certainly keeps me on my toes.

- A lucky man who
doesn't hate his job.

- Say that again. Lucky indeed.

- So tell me, Doctor.

You deal with any
crazy people today?

- You know what, Pavo?
Even if I wanted to,

I wouldn't be able to tell you.

And honestly, I
don't love that word.

I don't know, maybe
it's a shrink thing.

Anyway.

- I'm sorry. My
English is not so good.

- It's okay.
- Not so correct.

I didn't mean to offend.

- None taken, whatsoever.

- But you must have
some good stories.

- Pavo!
- What?

He doesn't want to
talk about his work.

I get it.

- I think I'm going
to check on the babka.

- And I'm gonna get rid
of some of these dishes.

- What did he, uh...
What did he say?

- Oh, he was, uh...

He was just wondering if
we had any more vodka.

- Hey, Sharon.

Do you have a minute?

- Oh, is it important, Maggie?

This is really not a good time.

- It kind of is.

- Okay, come. Come here.

What's up?

- I lied to you earlier, and
I feel horrible about it.

- Lied? About what?

- I didn't get all dressed up
to renew my driver's license.

I was meeting with a headhunter.

About maybe finding another job.

- Okay.

- I was frustrated last
week in ED, and I...

I called them.

I instantly regretted
it, and I feel guilty

even thinking about leaving.

With all the changes that
are going down in the ED

and all this chatter
about going for-profit...

I have a bad feeling
about the direction

that Jack is taking us.

- I get your
frustration, Maggie,

and I promise you, we're working

on a course correction
as we speak.

The board is in the process
of defeating Jack's agenda,

and we're going
to hold the line.

- Good.

I really don't wanna leave Med.

- It's a great day for
Gaffney, everybody.

- Thank you.

- I'm gonna make sure to
have an even brighter future.

- Thank you.

- George? What's going on?

Jack.

He got the votes.

We are now a
for-profit hospital.

- How?

Who flipped?

- Vernon!

Apparently, he was so
impressed with 2.0,

he decided to be
supportive of any measure

that would bring
in more advancement

in high-tech medicine.

Sharon, I am so sorry.
