- A few days ago,
I received a death threat.

- Well, did they find out
who sent it?

- Not yet, but working theory
is a disgruntled employee.

- I thought you
looked familiar.

- Think maybe people
will forget about this soon?

- It's not every day
you find out your colleague

was a teen heartthrob.

- Most emergency departments
don't have an OB specialist,

so I'm curious if you
find your position essential.

- I just thought, as a woman,
you'd appreciate having someone

who specializes
in women's health.

- As a woman,
I do appreciate it.

someone was in your house?

That's terrifying.

CPD is doing a full sweep

Hopefully it's nothing.

Um, unfortunately, though,

our clinic hours are over

- Weekdays from
11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

- Um, I work then.
Just about everybody does.

- Yeah, I--can you come in
on one of your days off?

- Um, yeah, it's been a while
since I've had one of those.

Is--is there any way
that you can see me now?

I mean, something just--
it doesn't feel right.

[suspenseful music]

- Yeah, you know, let me--
let me see what I can do.

- Okay, thank you.

- So he escaped
from the psych ward?

- Yep. Name's Ted Kachler.

He's got a pretty nasty gash
on his arm

after security tackled him
at the front entrance.

We're waiting on X-rays
before sending him back up.

- And why did Dr. Cuevas
hold him in the first place?

- Well, the police brought
him in for erratic behavior

during a domestic dispute.

He was pretty unhinged
and paranoid during intake.

- Thank you.

- This is all
a huge misunderstanding.

- Ted, how are you doing?
I'm Dr. Charles.

Um, Jackie has been telling me
that, uh,

you were involved
in an incident at home?

- Yeah, which Becca has totally
blown out of proportion

for her advantage.
- Okay.

So Becca is your--
your partner?

Your--your wife?

- Not for long.

Um, we're in the middle
of a nasty divorce,

and she is--
she's trying to sue me

for full custody
of our daughter, Ella.

- Oh, well, I'm really
sorry to hear that.

I mean, divorce--

- [groans]
- Divorce, uh, sucks.

- Yeah, uh--um, the thing is,

the custody hearing
is tomorrow morning,

and I'm--I'm stuck in here.
- Uh-huh.

So that's why you were trying
to get out of the hospital?

- I can't lose my little girl, doc.

- I hear you. Really, I do.

Um, the thing is Dr. Cuevas
probably wouldn't have

put you on a psych hold
without a pretty good reason.

So if you don't mind, can you
just tell me a little bit more

about what happened?

- Look, I--

I lost my temper, okay?

I--I was--I was tired,
I was stressed.

I don't know.

Um, my--my--my brain,
it just suddenly glitched.

- Okay, so when you say that
your brain suddenly glitched,

can you get a little more
specific about that?

I mean, was it--did you see
something or hear something

out of the ordinary, or--

- No, I--[sighs]

[apprehensive music]

I just lost control, okay?

But I feel totally fine now.

- But I'm thinking that
it's actually probably

in all of our best interests
to drill down and figure out

what's going on
with this glitch.

- I don't--I don't know
what to say, you know?

I--I freaked out,

and now I find myself suddenly
in a psych ward.

- Right.
- Which I do not belong in.

- Okay.

Look, I want you to try
and relax a little bit,

'cause we gotta wait
for your X-ray anyway.

But, um, we are gonna get
to the bottom of this, okay?

And I want you
to trust me on that.

- Okay.
- Good. Thank you.

Um, we'll check back in a bit.

[clears throat]

- I did Ted's intake.

He's got IBS, asthma,
hypertension,

but absolutely no history
of mental illness.

- So you're thinking that

this is just a legal tactic
on the part of the wife?

- It's worth considering, yeah.

If his wife uses this psych
hold against him in court,

he might not ever
see his kid again.

- Yeah, but I mean,

clearly there's something
going on here, right?

I mean, Ted himself
brought up this glitch.

- Sometimes people
crack under pressure.

Doesn't make them mentally ill.
- Very true.

But, uh, you know what?

I just need
a better understanding

of what's going on here

before I release him
in good conscience.

So you know, let's, um,
let's figure it out.

- We already talked
about this.

Tonight's gonna be a madhouse.

I don't have the space for
the prenatal lab after hours.

- Dr. Lenox, she took three
buses across town to be here.

- Does she have
an acute medical need?

- No, but--
- Then please send her home.

I'm sorry.

- All I'm asking for

are a few prenatal labs
and an ultrasound.

- How long do you need,
Dr. Asher?

- Hour, tops.

- Dr. Lenox, given the extremes

the woman went through
to get here,

perhaps we can
make an exception.

- Knock yourself out.
- Thank you, both of you.

- You know,
bending isn't always breaking.

- Bending means
more expectation to bend.

- Excuse me.
Can someone please help me?

There's something
really wrong with him.

- Dr. Frost, we need help here.

- Hey. Let me take a look.

It's okay, it's okay.
Let's take a little look.

Baby's slightly cyanotic.

Can we get a cot crib, please?

- You're going to Trauma 1.
- All right.

Just follow me and tell me
what happened, okay?

- I don't know.
He just started wheezing.

- Okay, was he exposed
to cigarette smoke?

- No, I don't smoke or vape.
- Okay.

Was he sleeping near a vent?

- No.
He was fine and then he wasn't.

- Okay. Let's set him down.

Hey, buddy.
You're okay, you're okay.

All right.

[baby wheezing]

Let's see what we got.

Okay, crackles bilaterally.

Let's get a CBC, BNP,
blood culture, X-ray,

and then swabs for COVID,
influenza, and RSV, all right?

- Copy.
- Thank you.

What's his name?
- Nate.

- Hey, Nate. How are you doing?
Are you his mother?

- Uh, no, I'm the babysitter,
Whitney.

- Okay, well, Whitney,
I'm gonna want you

to call his mother for me, okay?

- I already did.
She's on her way.

Will he be okay?

- I'm gonna take very good
care of him, I promise.

- Good evening.
I'm Dr. Ripley.

- Nice to meet you.

I'm Mary Katherine, but people
call me MK for short.

- So the, uh, triage nurse
says that you've been

experiencing some
abdominal pain.

- That's right.

- Any chance you just, uh,

had too much to drink
at a Halloween party, sister?

- I haven't had a drink
in 20 years.

And the only party
I'm attending

is my weekly sewing circle.

At the rectory.

- I--I am so sorry, sister.

- Oh, don't be.
It's--it's Halloween night.

I get it.

- So how long have you
been experiencing pain?

- Off and on for about a month.

- Any, uh--
any dietary changes lately?

- Halloween candy
is my weakness.

- Well,
sugar can impact health,

but, uh, it's unlikely
to cause an acute episode.

Uh, would you mind
sitting back for me?

- Of course.

- May I?
- Yeah.

- [clears throat]

- [inhales sharply]

[gasps]

- I think we're looking
at diverticulitis.

It's an inflammation
of the large intestine.

We usually treat it
with antibiotics.

- Mm.

- So how about we start with a
CT scan to get a closer look,

and uh,
we'll take it from there?

- Sounds good.
- Okay.

- Uh, his name
is Nate Sullivan.

He's three months old.
Uh, my babysitter--

- Lynne.
- Whitney--oh, Rip.

Uh, Nate was brought in
with a fever?

- Oh, I'm--
I'm sorry to hear that.

- He's in Trauma 1
with Dr. Frost.

- Okay.

- I'll walk over with you
so I can see him.

- Okay.
- You've--you've been drinking?

- Yeah, I had a few at a bar
with some friends.

- Wait, you--
you took Nate to a bar?

- No, I got him a babysitter.

That's--
that's who brought him in.

- Has he been sick?

- No, he--

he has a little cough.

- So you left a sick baby
to go get hammered?

- Do--I'm--
I'm not hammered.

I went out for a little
Halloween celebration.

- Unbelievable.

- Screw you and your judgment,
Saint Rip.

I don't need this.

[tense music]

[baby cooing and babbling]

- I just got
Nate's X-rays back.

It looks like a mild case
of pneumonia,

but I think a course
of IV antibiotics

will clear it right up.

Thank you.

So--sorry, he's gonna be okay?

- I'd like to keep him
overnight in the PICU

for observation, but
I expect him to be just fine.

I already requested
the transfer.

They'll be down in ten minutes.

Back in the early '90s,
Kevin was my age.

Liked to sass the 'rents,

You're telling me

- But why now?

Uh, after all these years

a guard came

asthma attack.

His oxygen saturation

the asthma attack.

Sometimes,
they're the same thing.

He was a few years
older than me

and he had
the most piercing blue eyes.

They melted my heart.

We fell head over heels
in love.

And like magic,

I could suddenly picture
our entire lives together.

Marriage, travel, kids,

everything.

with someone else.

vanished.

which is now slowly vanishing
before her eyes,

painful goodbye of all.

Be patient with her,

Do you mind me asking,

did you happen
to have an asthma attack

when you were arguing
with your wife?

combine fluticasone spray

with your inhaler
to manage your attacks?

But, uh, she--she really
got me worked up this time.

It was--it was a doozy.

- Okay.

Can you remember roughly how
many pumps you used per side?

- Oh, I don't know.

Five?

- I think that what
we're talking about here, Ted,

is something very simply known
as a medication overdose.

You know, fluticasone,
it's a corticosteroid,

which is a class of steroid
that has absolutely been known

to induce psychosis in people

with, you know,
a certain vulnerability.

[soft music]

- W-wait.
I'm--so I'm not crazy?

- That's what was
causing your glitch.

- And we think that the reason
maybe it happened again today

is even if we gave you
the right dose,

right, that that overload
is still in your system

and it just triggered
another episode.

If it's okay with you, I'd like
to keep you till the morning

just to make absolutely
sure that all this stuff

is out of your system.

have plenty of time

to make the custody hearing.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Happy Halloween.

- Hey, great job
with the clinic patient.

I heard it was very lucky
that she came in.

- Yes,
an atrioventricular block.

I am very glad
that we caught it.

- But overall,
your prenatal clinic

has not been particularly
well-attended.

- What are you saying?

- That maybe we should pivot.

I spoke to Violet Mikami
last week, from Firehouse 51.

She delivered a baby

mere minutes
after the mother's death,

a death that
could have been avoided

by a standard
prenatal examination.

It made me think
of Elise Thompson.

So I'm proposing a mobile unit

that could visit communities
most at risk,

'cause listen, if the patients
can't get to us,

we gotta go to them.

That would be incredible.

pregnant women that need us.
