And whatever you do,

please don't mess with
the shift schedule.

Mm-hmm.

It took a long time
to optimize, okay?

Certain people
can't work together

'cause they hate each other,
others can't work together

'cause they can't keep
their hands off each other.

Can I sit in your charge nurse
chair while you are on vacation?

No! Pay attention!

These shift assignments
are a delicate dance.

The key is to spread
the idiots out

where they can do
the least damage.

What do you think?

"Charge Nurse

Abishola Adebambo."

You forgot the
word "temporary."

It would not fit.

All right.

I hope you can
handle all this,

'cause I'll be off
the grid for two weeks.

Me and my husband, buck
naked in a hot spring.

Enjoy sleeping in your car.

It's an RV.

[phone vibrating]

Hello, Mummy,
I can't talk right now.

My shift is about to start.

Ah, she's leaving.

I am the boss.

[scoffs] Bye.

Okay, Mummy.

Bye-bye.

Ooh, look who
is in charge.

Come, come, come.

My mother wants a photo.

Mm-hmm.

Don't smile, you are a leader!

-Mm-hmm.
-Did you get the sign?

Take another one,
take another one.

["Ifanla" by Sola Akingbola
playing]

Did Dr. Brody
leave sufficient

-bowel protocol for Room 411?
-JANE: He did.

We increased his laxatives,
so we should

see some movement today.

That is music to my ears.

All right,
have a great shift, everyone.

If you need me,
I'll be at my desk.

Which is, of course,
the charge nurse desk.

Kathy, may I speak
with you a moment?

Of course.

I am going to
need your help

the next two weeks.

As you know, we are down
one of our most vital nurses.

Gloria's the best.

I was talking about me.

Oh.
When Gloria

is here, she has me to lean on.

Now that
I am Gloria,

I'm going to need an Abishola.

You will be my Abishola.

Okay.

I know you can do this.

You are smart and hardworking.

Thank you.

If I had one critique,
it would be

you can be
extremely unprofessional.

Excuse me?

Personal phone calls at
work, the sad demeanor,

screaming at the strange
man in the lobby.

Well, that's my husband.

We're going through something.

And that is something
I should not know.

[voice breaking]:
It's just been so h-hard.

Oh, no, no, no,
please, Kathy.

I cannot lean on you
if you are crying.

[crying]:
I'm so sorry.

Abishola would not cry!

How long's it take
to make a sandwich?

I'm going as fast as I can, Mom.

Abishola usually
gives me lunch by 11:30.

Well, she's a
charge nurse now.

She has more important things
to do.

So she gets a promotion
and I'm left here

to chew on my tongue?

Your entire family
is here taking care of you.

And yet I'm still starving.

Who would've thunk it?

Little blue ones are
tranquilizers, right?

That's not funny, Douglas!

Christina, we could
use some help here!

CHRISTINA:
I'm setting up Mom's workout!

So, how long is Abishola
going to be doing

this little hospital side job?

You mean her career?

All right, keep your bra on,
Murphy Brown.

You're all set
in there, Mom.

Thought we could switch
up physical therapy

with a little
wheelchair Zumba.

Well, I don't want to do that.

That's not how Abishola does it.

Well, that's how Christina
does it, so let's boogie.

-I don't want to boogie.
-Oh, come on.

-It'll be fun.
-But what about lunch?

Uh, you can eat later.

♪ Ain't nothing gonna
break-a my stride ♪

♪ Ain't nothing
gonna hold me down ♪

I'm hungry!♪ Oh, no

♪ I've got to keep on... Sucks getting old, huh?

Yep.

I'm basically holding
Mom's life in my hands.

One pill...

in the wrong place...

and poof...

she's gone.

You want me to take over
for you, buddy?

I think you should.

[laughter]

Jane, you are terrible.

[gasps]

Hello.

You don't have
to leave.

You still have three minutes,

20 seconds left on your break.

Bruha.

What did she just say?

Oh, it's not important.

Tell me.

She just doesn't like her boss.

But I am her boss.

Well, then you get it.

But I'm nice to Jane.

She's one of the only
good nurses on the floor.

And you told her that
in front of everybody.

And now they think
she is your spy.

Is she your spy?

No, Kathy is my spy.

I'm just trying to show
the others their weaknesses,

so that they can improve.

Believe me, I understand
how motivating shame

and humiliation can be,
but they are not like us.

Americans have
a saying,

"You catch more flies
with honey."

That is ridiculous.

Of course it is.
You and I both know

you catch more flies with feces.

But if I push them
to their potential,

they will look good
in management's eyes.

You mean,

you will look good
in management's eyes.

Of course. I am just
a reflection of everyone.

Imagine if after
these two weeks,

management looks
at these nurses and sees

a highly productive,

hardworking department
full of...

me.

[shudders]

What?

Oh, nothing.

Just imagining
more than one of you.

[shudders forcefully]

Would you like some more
egusi soup, Bob?

How could I ever say
no to you, Auntie?

[giggling]

And thanks again
for dinner.

If I had to be stood up,

I'm glad I could be
with you guys.

I'm sorry.

When you work
as hard as Abishola,

these things happen.

Ah, it's no big
deal, it's just

a crazy couple
of weeks for her.

That is a good attitude.

Cling to that.

What do you mean?

She's Nigerian.

Until she reaches
her career goals,

nothing will stand
in Abishola's way.

No matter how

lovable that "nothing" might be.

[chuckles]
Well...

I'm happy for her.
I know being charge nurse

-has been her goal for a while.
-Oh!

It is an excellent
stepping-stone

on her way to becoming
a nurse manager.

Then director
of nursing services.

Then hospital supervisor.

Then chief nursing officer.

Wow, that's a lot of "thens."

Yes, it is.

And there will be more.

But you guys have let
yourselves slow down.

Now that we are retired,

we are enjoying
our golden years. [chuckles]

UNCLE TUNDE:
Yes, every day I wake up,

I check my stocks
over breakfast,

then I visit
my various

real estate holdings,
at least the ones in Michigan.

I didn't know you
owned property.

Own, manage, maintain.

I am currently
in a bidding war

for a new quadplex
in Lansing.

Sounds stressful.

Not if I win.

And I will win, Bob.

And what about you, Auntie?

You running a sweatshop
out of your closet?

[laughs]
Not a sweatshop.

An Etsy shop.

Olu's hand-sewn head wraps

and skirts have over
10,000 five-star reviews.

And one three-star.

Oh, Penny from Phoenix.

Is it my fault she gained
weight faster than my shipping?

Olu is the third
top seller.

Behind a dog
clothing company

and a cat clothing company.

But mark my words,

I will be first.

Then I will expand to QVC.

And there's the "then."

You are learning.

And what's
on your to-do list, Dele?

Cure cancer?
[chuckles]

Yes.

Oluwa mi o. Kathy,

please, what have we said
about you being professional?

Oh, they're not for me.

They're for you.

What?

My husband would never be
that thoughtful.

[crying]

[phone ringing]

Hey, charge nurse,
you get my flowers?

How could you do this to me?

Oh, no, are they ugly?

They never look the same
as the picture.

They are beautiful
and they should not be here.

But they're your favorite.

I am trying

to set an example
for these nurses.

And now you have
undermined my authority

with this lovely gesture.

Wait, does this mean you
like 'em or you hate 'em?

Both!

And now you've made me make
this personal call.

I was just trying
to be supportive.

I know that
and it's very thoughtful.

Now never send me flowers again.
Goodbye.

Um...

Give this to the dying man
in Room 412.

Wait, wait, wait.

Now go.

Bruha.

I googled that word.

I know you're calling me
a witch.

Or a magician!

Hello!

Hello.

Up top, Doc.
[chuckles]

Hello.

[woman crying]

Oh, poor, pathetic Kathy.

A-Abishola?

Close the door.

[door closes]

Why are you crying?

[sniffles]
Don't look at me.

Here.

To wipe the tears.

And the boogers on your chin.

-They have all left me.
-Who?

My good nurses.

They have traded shifts,
so now I'm left with the idiots.

Who are too stupid to
transfer out of their shift.

I'm sure it's not personal.

Okay, we both know
it's personal.

[crying]

I cannot believe I'm failing.

Abishola, you are good
at everything.

You always have been.

And I will only say this once,
but sometimes,

I am jealous of you.

What?

[laughs softly] I told you
I would only say it once.

So what if you are
not immediately good

at being charge nurse?

So what if the other nurses
hate you and call you bruha?

You will study,
you will learn,

you'll become good at it just
like you do everything else.

Thank you.

I should go back out there.

Uh-uh, no, no, no.

Not until you've pulled yourself
together, hmm?

What about now?

Stay in the closet awhile.

Nobody will miss you.

Ketchup?

You know, I got to tell you,
as good as this is,

McDonald's is always better
when you eat it there.

Yeah. And you can get high and
crawl around in the PlayPlace.

I wonder what Abishola's
doing right now.

Probably saving somebody's life.

-Yeah.
-Probably.

Does it bother you
that she's a better person

than all three of us combined?

A little.

Not enough to do
anything about it.

You know,

I called her a little while ago.

Just to check in.

And?

She couldn't talk.

-Hmm.
-She was too busy.

Of course she was.

Typical.

You know, I think
I understand

why some people don't
like immigrants.

'Cause they make us
feel bad about ourselves?

Exactly.

Always working their asses off.

Hey, we work our asses off.

Do we?

Well, at least I have an excuse.

I had a stroke.

Rub it in, why don't you?

What do you think
she's doing now?

I'm gonna call her.

[gasps]
Put it on speakerphone.

-ABISHOLA: Hello?
-ALL: Hi!

-We miss you.
-What are you doing?

We're eating McDonald's.

Hello?

What do you think?

That is a very large boat.

The Sundancer 320.

When I retire,
it's gonna be mine.

When you retire?

Yeah, I work hard.
My fiancée works even harder.

When are we gonna get a chance
to enjoy ourselves?

If you follow the righteous
path, in the afterlife.

The only path I'm following
is to the boat show.

We're gonna travel the world,
maybe get a house

in Italy near Clooney.

He means George Clooney.

I know that.

It is a very nice fantasy,
Mr. Wheeler.

It's not a fantasy.

Well, okay,
maybe the Clooney part,

but the rest of it's happening.

She's never gonna retire,
is she?

-No.
-But if it is any consolation,

neither will you.

What are you talking about?
I'm looking at boats.

Mr. Wheeler, you have inherited
your father's work ethic.

It is a trait that we, as
Nigerians, have always admired.

My dad died of a heart attack
on the loading dock.

An honorable death.

But I don't want to die here.

It doesn't have to be here.

It can be at home.

After a long day here.

That's not helping.

We should get back to work.

Yeah, I'll see you guys later.

I really want to die on a boat.

[elevator bell dings]

[indistinct P.A. announcement]

[cheering, applause]

[laughs]

Damn, I should leave more often.

Never, ever leave again.

All right.

Hey.

Hello, Gloria.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

How'd it go?

It went well.

Although the nurses proved
a little more difficult

to manage than I expected.

Managing the nurses is
kind of the whole job.

In that case,
it did not go well.

Yeah, I might've gotten a few
phone calls and some texts.

Someone even got ahold of
the fax machine at the RV park.

I bet it was Kathy.
She's such a crybaby.

Listen, if this job

was just about working
hard and being smart,

you'd be all over it.

But a big part of it
is massaging egos

and knowing exactly what
your nurses need to hear.

Maybe you should have
explained that better to me

before you left.

You're right. If I'd
explained it better,

you'd have done
the job perfectly.

That's what I was thinking.

Well, I'll keep that in
mind for the next time.

Good. And I'll make a list

of other areas
where you can improve.

Lucky me. Can't wait to see it.

Unbelievable.

[phone vibrating]

Hello?

Yeah, I got some flowers here.

I'm trying to figure out
who they're from.

There should be a card.

Yeah, there is.

It says "Abishola,"

but I figured it's a mistake

because I know how you feel
about flowers at work.

Very funny.

It was sweet of you to send me
flowers the other day.

I should not have reacted
the way I did.

Well, you were
under a lot of pressure.

And for what?

Did you know
the charge nurses spend

far less time with patients?

I did not.

And above that,

the head nurse is not
on the floor at all.

With each promotion,
you get further away

from taking care of people.

Well, maybe you learned
you're happy where you're at.

That makes it worthwhile.

No, I do not want
to do this forever.

Really?

Not when I have other options

that can make me happier.

I am so glad to hear you
say that.

I have decided
to become a doctor.

I got to learn
to let you finish.

It's going to be
a long, hard road,

but I know I can be great at it.

I know you can, too.

So, what are we talking?

-Six years of school?
-Eight.

Then residency,

then fellowship,
then specialization.

And there's the "thens."

I know. Isn't it great?

Yeah.

Good morning.

ALL:
Hi!

Well, don't just
sit there, Douglas.

Take her coat.

Allow me.

-Thank you.
-Would you like

some tea, coffee-- oh, kombucha?

Thank you, I'm okay.

Please, let us serve you.

Yeah, w-why don't you
sit down and I'll make you some scrambled eggs?

-Oh, I don't want scrambled eggs.
-I'm gonna make you scrambled eggs and you're gonna eat them.

Allow me.

We really missed you.
