Do you think that Jason
pretending that I'm invisible

is a micro aggression
or an aggression-aggression?

Aggression-aggression.
It feels pointed.

But as an assistant,
being invisible

is way better than being seen
as too much, don't you think?

I don't know. I might start
power-clashing my outfits.

Yes.

My ears always pop up here.

Need I remind you
what day it is today?

Last day of window repairs.

Do you think your hot repairman

will be shirtless again?

-Have you no shame?
-Not even a little.

When are you gonna
shoot your shot?

Come on. What's the worst thing
that could happen?

How about scathing rejection?

Just give him your number.

And if you don't, I'm gonna
break another window,

so it's happening.

Yo, what's it gonna take
for you to come out tonight?

There's this new spot
on Jefferson, dawg.

Oh, my God.
The energy was jumpin'.

Almost had a heart attack
on the dance floor.

Not a single skip all night.
I promise you.

-Heart attack?
-Come on.

Yeah, it sounds tempting.

Even if I wanted to go,
I promised Ma

I'd have dinner at hers.

Just come over.
She's making to stones.

Mm-hmm. You.

You don't even
gotta put in work, bro.

The girls just come to you.

Let's all go dancing tonight!

He's really good. I promise.

I don't dance! I'm not a dancer!

-Really good.
-But...

-Dancin'?
-...we can eat.

We could definitely eat.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Nurse DiMarzio...

Another glioma resection
in the books.

Thank you, team, for your
acuity and attention to detail.

Precise. Just how I like it.

It feels like home down here.

I didn't take you for
a knee push-up guy, Nichols.

I was transitioning to a plank.

It's part of my 10-minute
routine for longevity

from the... You know, why...

Why am I even
explaining myself to you?

And you're... not gonna shower?

What are you doing here
so early?

I wanted to get a head start

on all the paperwork
you're requiring.

Do me the honor, Interim Chief.

Hear they're cutting back
your O.R. days

to lighten the workload?

It's an ongoing conversation.

But I can balance the two
just fine. Hey. Listen.

While you're here, there is
something I need you for.

Straight to voicemail?

I don't pay your phone bill

for you to reject
my calls, Maya.

Call me. Love you.

Teenagers smell desperation
a mile away.

You gotta play it cool.
-I'm trying.

But the girl has mastered
the silent treatment.

-Hm!
-Morris and I promised her

she could live in the house
full-time,

and we'd go back and forth.
-Oh, yeah. Nesting.

Amy and I tried that
for a hot minute

until I found another man's
boxers in my bedroom.

I found a padded bra,

so Morris found
a studio apartment.

-Hey.
-We worked out

a custody schedule,
but Maya isn't having it.

If divorces were easy,
everybody would get one.

She'll come around.
-She better.

I'm sure you've crossed paths,

but this official introduction
is long overdue.

Nurse Silva...
a fixture on cards

for as long as I've been
at this hospital.

Dr. Sanchez might think
she's the reason

for cardiac step-down's success,
but Nico deserves credit.

Oh, and his guava pastelitos
are legendary.

I don't usually bake for MD's,

but you play your cards right,
you might get one.

-Noted.
-And Dr. Oliver Wolf.

When it comes
to patient satisfaction,

Wolf's scores surpass
every doctor

at this hospital
by at least 12%.

-Even you?
-Yep.

Okay, Wolf.

Go off.
-Go where?

Bottom line, you two
are the best at what you do.

You'll make a great team.
Get your floor back on track.

Are we... off track?

Hello?

Brain and spinal-cord
injuries in the E.D.

Neuro needed, STAT!

Two males. Mid-20s.

Window repairmen.
Sustained a 39-story fall.

-You mean a 39-foot fall?
-No. Stories.

Safety mechanisms failed.
Freak accident.

Somehow they both
still have pulses.

We placed them in C-collars

and moved them
as little as possible.

Alright. On "three."
One, two, three. Lift.

Three, two, one. Lift.

Jacob, stand by on an airway.
Prep two lines. I'll FAST.

From what I can see,
head and neck

look like severe injuries
on both.

We need to reduce the knee
before we send him to the O.R.

I need quiet in here!

This one has a high cervical
fracture and hasn't moved anything.

I'm concerned about an
occipitocervical dissociation.

An internal decapitation.
If we move him a millimeter

in the wrong direction,
he never moves again

or we lose him.

CSF and brain pooling
from his open skull fracture.

-We need to prep an O.R.
-No.

Prep two O.R.s... now.

I'll scrub in and out of both
cases for the critical parts.

My senior fellows will help.
It's the only way.

Airways in.
Off to imaging! Let's roll!

Dr. Wolf, as soon as
these boys are out of surgery,

I'm counting on you to tackle
their neurological recovery.

Every second matters!
-I'll prep the unit now.

-Clear.
-Yeah. Watch out!

Move, please.

We will update you as soon as...

Un momento.

We need to page the interpreter.

Oh. It's okay. I'll update them.

Oh.

They want to know
what to expect after surgery.

I'm Dr. Wolf,
the head of neurology.

As soon as they're
out of surgery,

I'll assess them
for any neurological deficits

or complications.

I can tell you
they're still alive,

and there is reason
to have hope.

But they are critically injured,

and the next 24 hours
will be vital.

Ana speaks minimal English.

Jorge is her everything.
She can't live without him.

Okay. Is there something
being lost in translation?

Benny and Jorge
are both her sons, correct?

I guess she plays favorites.

Sus hijos están en las muy
capaces pies del Dr. Nichols.

You just said her sons
are in the very capable feet

of Dr. Nichols.

Dr. Nichols!

Please. Save my Jorge.

I promise...

I will give your sons my all.

Good reduction. Good alignment.

Four hours down, and
occipitocervical fusion's complete.

Fellows closing, and he's yours.

Yeah, I'll lighten his sedation

and see what we have
for a neuro exam.

Luckily, he didn't need me
to open his skull

due to low ICPs on the monitor
and just contusions on CT.

But let me know
if these progress.

I'll keep you posted.
We'll alert you to his

Glasgow Coma score
as soon as we can.

What's the plan in there?

Crani for subdural. Best case,

he's coming to you
in the next few hours.

You know where to find me.

To recap,
evacuated the subdural,

reconstructed the skull.

ICPs?
-Climbing again.

I'll have to place a EVD.

We'll need to
figure out the cause.

Left hand first, please.
I'm a creature of habit.

-Sorry, Doctor.
-That's better.

You're ready, Doctor.

Alright, team!

Let's get an intraop CT,

see where we're at.

Eyes open
only to central pain. 2.

Total GCS of 6T
is a real underdog story.

Benny is remarkably stable,

particularly considering
the mechanism of injury.

He's minimally sedated,
which means we have

a clearer snapshot of his
neurologic post-op baseline.

Has anyone spoken
with the family?

When I told them
he was out of the O.R.,

no one moved.

Seems like Mom calls
the shots in the family,

and she wants nothing
to do with him.

Someone must have snuck that in.

Okay, well,
until the family's ready,

we're Benny's support system.

Engage. Talk. Sit with him.

On day zero,
every move we make is vital.

Dr. Wolf. Look.

Okay. Purposeful movement.
That's our green light.

Let's get started
with the extubation.

And we'll come back and
help these nurses mobilize him.

"These nurses,"
Tami and Grayson,

would appreciate the help.

Okay. Dr. Dang.

Alright. Let's go.

Turns out "Socialite Silva"
runs a tight ship.

Sure does.

Well, break's over.
Better get back to work.

Uh, Dr. Kinney, hold on.

Uh, Dr. Dang.

Can I get the lowdown
on your attending, Dr. Wolf?

Uh, it can't be true
that he swims in the Hudson.

-Unfortunately.
-And not a whiff of giardia?

We tried to get Infectious
Disease to scare him off,

but, alas.

Yeah, but what about
the face blindness?

All I know is Brad Pitt has it,

which can be the only
reasonable explanation

for leaving my girl Jen.

Wolf's surprisingly good
at recognizing people.

I mean,
he figured it out with us

and, of course,
Dr. Pierce, Dr. Nichols.

And his patients
and their families.

It's kind of amazing.
-Wait.

So he only recognizes people
that he wants to?

Hey, Harvard, are you up
for some more translating

or should I just
bug Silva instead?

No. I'm game.

I finally put
that Spanish minor to good use.

There's no translator
on the books?

Oh. Budget cuts only allow for
phone interpreters right now.

And that's not
gonna cut it with Ana.

-She's headstrong.
-Exactly.

Ana's setting herself up
for a hard landing.

The more unrealistic
her expectations,

the more intense
her letdown will be.

-Hola.
-Hi, Ana.

I'm Dr. Pierce,
the Head of Psychiatry here.

That's okay.

As a mother,

I can only imagine
what you might be feeling.

If you want,
we can all sit with Benny

and unpack what's going on.

Maybe it's cultural?

Bye-bye.

Counting down the days

till our E.D. rotation's over,
are we?

No.

The snacks and the gossip
are just way better up here.

What's up with you and Dang?

She keeps sending me TikToks,
and I don't have one,

so I know something's up
between you two.

Nurse Woodward to O.R. 3.
Nurse Woodward to O.R. 3.

Dana reported Dr. Pierce.

And I feel some type of way
about it.

Oh. Why...
Why would she do that?

I mean...
-She won't tell me,

but she didn't report Wolf
when he took PCP,

so it feels like
a double standard.

That's true.
But it's Dana.

I mean, she's a fair person
and loyal to a fault.

I got to believe that
there's a damn good reason.

Well, I won't know
unless she tells me.

Fair enough.

Hey. Before I go, how are
those Torres brothers doing?

One brother is out of the O.R.

Low GCS, but he's stable.

And Dr. Nichols
is still in with the other.

Going on hour eight.

Brutal.

Not a day that goes by here

that I don't think
life is short.

Can someone get me
Dang or Kinney, please?

Would you like Tami or Rebecca

to help you out, Dr. Wolf?

Dr. Wolf,
who were you addressing?

Uh, all of our nurses
are equally capable.

Anyone will do.

Everyone can resume their work.

As you've noticed,

I have a particular way
of running floors,

and I would like for you
to learn everyone's name.

It promotes
a sense of community.

So to help you out,
we'll wear name tags.

Oh, thank you for
orchestrating, Nurse Silva.

Long overdue.
We are a little busy today.

Any way we could
postpone the icebreakers?

No, we're never too busy
to know people's names.

Dr. Wolf, Benny Torres
is awake and extubated.

Thank you... Nurse Carter.

My mom's here?

Where am I?

I told him where he was.

Well, you've endured
a catastrophic fall, Benny,

but you're already
defying all odds.

How do you feel?

We're here to answer
any questions you have.

I want to see my brother.

Where's Jorge?

Where's my brother?!

There's a new bleed on the left.

I evacuated Jorge's subdural

and reconstructed the skull to
repair fractures on the right.

But the intraop CT showed
a new bleed on the left,

so I did a crani
and removed that,

but before I could get out,
his ICP shot up again.

Massive cerebral edema
despite cranis on both sides.

His prognosis is abysmal.
What are you proposing?

Take off the skull
on both sides.

That sounds extremely risky.

He'll die
if I can't pull this off.

But he'll die if you don't try.

Whatever you need,
you have our full support.

Okay.

Going back in.

Wish me luck on my miracle.

Good luck, Chief.

And what is your favorite food?

-I'm a New Yorker.
-Okay.

Name as many pizza joints
as you can in 10 seconds.

Let's go, Dr. Wolf.

Louie and Ernie's. Emilio's.

Joe's. Lucali. Di Fara.

Mama's Too.

Shoot. Maybe my brain
really is banged up.

No one puts Mama's last.

Speaking of,
my colleague is working on

bringing your mother
up to see you.

How Italians feel
about pineapple on pizza,

that's how my mom
feels about me.

Like I'm sacrilegious.
-Believe me. I understand.

My mom and I have our fair share
of... philosophical stalemates.

It's like whenever I try
to be my own person,

there's always a guilt trip.

She don't see me.

She only sees
what she wants to see.

Look. Um...

I'm not telling you
that you have to be

the bigger person, but...

There's care behind the control?

Trust me.
Jorge's tried that angle.

But caring don't justify
her behavior.

I get it.

And if you want to do this
without her, I'm with you.

It's not like I wanted this.

You think falling 39 stories
would simplify everything.

I'm happy to see her...

but I don't think
it fixes anything.

Not with my mom.

Sometimes trying
is all we can do.

I like your bracelet.

Oh, that must have been hard,

moving to New York
all on your own

with two kids,
not speaking the language.

For me, the hardest part
about being a parent

is letting my daughter
make her own choices,

allowing her that freedom,
that respect.

I can hardly stand seeing
my daughter every other week.

Even when we think
we have nothing left to give,

our babies need us.

Benito needs his mother,
always has.

Maybe that's what God
is showing you.

What is she saying?

Nothing good.

What's she saying?

She wants to know
what's happening

and why he's not responding.

Benny, what is
your first language?

Spanish. Like my mother.

But I can't understand
a word she's saying.

He's not ignoring her.

I could write a book
on rare neurological deficits,

but I have never seen
a case of bilingual aphasia

that impacts L1
with L2 perfectly intact.

How can someone
lose their first language

but retain their second?

You need some help with that?

Okay. I have been practicing.

Yeah. Okay.

The damage is primarily here
in the left temporal lobe

responsible for
language comprehension.

If Benny didn't learn English
until, let's say, 6 or 7,

then his secondary language
would be stored

in a different area
of the brain.

Right. After early childhood,
learning a new language involves

different but adjacent areas,

which means there are
distinct neural pathways

for lingual comprehension
and production for L1 versus L2.

Wait. I didn't do anything.

-Please. Resume nerding out.
-Well, since the pathways

in Benny's brain used for
English are relatively intact,

his brain is defaulting to
the easier, less damaged route.

Benny only speaks English,

and his family
only speaks Spanish?

What a metaphor.
How do we bridge the gap?

Well, despite the damage,
we can rebuild those

neural pathways, but it won't
be as easy as Rosetta Stone.

I believe the kids call it
Duolingo these days.

Benny needs a caretaker,

and Ana needs a tether
to the world.

She's already at risk
of losing one son.

We can't let her lose both.

His ICP is too high.

How long have we been
at that level?

Minutes. He's rebleeding.

Please! Left hand first!
Always! You know what?

Forget it. There's no time.
We'll need some dural tack-ups.

And give him some mannitol.

This guy cannot catch a break.
Alright.

We need to expand his crani
on both sides.

Let's, uh, stay fresh, everyone.

-Yes, Doctor.
-Of course.

I don't know what my mom
was saying earlier,

but it didn't seem good.

Well, let's just think
of your mom's reaction

as a coping mechanism.

Textbook.

We're working on it.

Maybe you should put
these thingies on her.

Shock some positivity
into her thick skull.

There will be
absolutely no shocking.

Just a weak electrical current
that will help repair

the part of your brain
that was damaged.

Completely harmless.
And no pain at all.

Speaking of,
these painkillers are dope.

I can hardly feel my face.

Well, let's think of this as
physical therapy for your brain.

The electrical current will
increase your neuroplasticity,

and that'll make the rest of
your rehab a lot more productive.

Like how drinking pre-workout

makes your gym session
more productive.

Sure. Okay.

I'm gonna show you a card,
and you're gonna tell me

what's on it
in English and in Spanish.

Yeah?

House. Casa.

Mm-hmm.

Cat. Gato.

Meatloaf? Food?

I should know this.
What's wrong with me?!

It's okay. Benny. Breathe.

Be patient.

Healing does not happen
overnight...

...in our minds
or in our relationships.

[ Woman on P.A.

Okay.

Nurse Samuel has a dimple
when he smiles,

so as long as he's smiling,
I'm good?

Studying up. I like it.

You know, for the record,
I may struggle with names,

but my nurses love me.

And I'm sure that they love

being referred to
as your nurses.

Estelle did say
that you're her favorite,

but she's
the teacher's pet, so...

I hear you're trying to reunite
the Torres mom and son.

Should be easy.

Latina mothers are
famously unopinionated,

particularly when
it comes to their sons.

I don't think that that

is unique to Latina mothers,
but it has been...

challenging.

Well, if you need any help
from a fellow Boricua,

just like nurses love you...

moms love me.

Oh. Alright.

Actually, there is something
you could help me with.

Someone wanted
to see you, Benny.

Silva will translate
for you both.

Your mom misses you.

The accident really put things
into perspective.

And she is sorry for everything,
but she loves you.

Always has.

Every street goes two ways.

If she can see
past our differences...

so can I.

Do I want to know
how many liberties you took?

I just told Mamacita
that her son

accepted Jesus
back into his heart

and that he misses her mofongo.

Well, whatever it takes.

They'll have time
to work out the semantics.

Dr. Wolf!

Benny?

Alright.
Silva, call a crash cart.

-Benny!
-Yeah. His pupil's blown.

He could be herniating.
-Code blue!

We need to get him
to the CT now!

Code blue!

No! No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no!

Benny!
-Let's move!

Alright. Let's go.
Flip him out. Come on.

Benny!

Lowest ICP I've seen all day,
and flaps are soft.

Let's close.
-Here you go, Doctor.

Impeccable timing, Dr. Wolf.

We're finally getting somewhere.

Josh, it's Benny. He's in CT.

He stroked out his cerebellum.
There was no way of knowing.

Every scan missed any signs
of vascular injury.

The damn vertebral arteries.

Spinal cord and brain stem
made it, but...

His verts must have been injured

due to the occipitocervical
dislocation.

There was absolutely nothing
we could have done.

Let's prep another O.R.

Posterior fossa craniectomy.

Get him down here
as fast as possible.

Josh, are you sure? You've
been at this for 14 hours.

So what's a few more?

Okay.

Ana.

Wait. You said we were
providing moral support.

Prayer has a positive

psychological and
physiological impact.

It's a way to cope.
So let's help them cope.

Heavenly Father...
we ask for your healing hand

over Jorge and Benito...

for strength for this family.

Ana brought them here to
this country for a better life.

They faced insurmountable odds,

fortified by their love
for each other.

Father, please watch over them.

Protect them.

Amen.

-Amen.
-Amen.

Jorge is stable.

He's not waking up yet,
but his vitals are strong.

Benny, however,
experienced a massive stroke

that was impossible to survive.

Your son...

He died.

Mrs. Torres, I'm sorry.

No. No.

Oh, no. No.

No!

No!

No! No! No!

Hey.

I wanted to check in.

Figured this might
be triggering.

No. It's fine. I'm fine.
We're good.

No, we're not.

I'm sorry.

It's not my business
why you reported Dr. Pierce.

I trust you.

And life's too short
to be mad at your best friend.

Will you forgive me
for being a judgy bitch?

Forgive you?

It's my favorite thing
about you.

I'm sorry.

Dr. Hyatt to Pediatrics.
Dr. Hyatt to Pediatrics.

Bad news, bro. Pizza Rat died.

It's a damn shame.
I loved that little guy.

That'sthe bad news?

Not my floor, not my problem.

But you counting down the days
on your E.D. rotation.

This doesn't happen down there.

Even if we wanted to
check up on our patients,

which I do not, there's no time.

So then what are you doing here?

Stop loitering.
You'll be back soon enough.

Let's go, champ.

Thank you all
for your hard work.

It's been one hell
of a long day,

and this is never
an easy outcome.

I want everyone
to go home knowing

that you did
everything you could.

Day's over. Get some rest.

I should've...

...started over when
he gloved the wrong hand.

It threw my routine off.
It... threw everything off.

You can't think
about things like that, Josh.

You were Jorge and Benny's
only shot at survival,

and you didn't waver
for a moment.

I really thought
I could save him.

I wanted to give Ana
her miracle.

You gave her one.

Good morning, Mrs. Torres.

Have you been here all night?

In the O.R.,

we put an EEG on Benny.

After his heart stopped,

his brain showed
something interesting.

Gamma waves.

A surge of brain activity.

She's wondering
what he might have seen.

What would it be for you?

For Jorge,
there will be many firsts.

First steps. First words.

And we will be with you
for every one of them.

When things go wrong,

our minds search
for something to blame.

I don't think I can.

And why is that?

Jealousy.

It was months ago.

Sandy, thank you
for the recording

of Benny's final brainwaves.

It meant a lot to the family.

Also, I would like
to thank Maria and Tami,

Stacy, Sammy, Nicole,
Rebecca, Grayson,

Chandler, and Dan
for all of your hard work

every day.

Thanks for seeing the people
who make this floor run.

I'll name-tag every new face
from here on out.

Actually, I tried name tags.

They don't help.
I need the full human.

I rely on details
like posture and height

and absurdly fast walk.

It's not that I don't want
to see faces. I wish I could.

I simply can't.

Well, what about your patients?

Well, my patients are the best.

They're easy.
They stay in one place.

And I always have
a file to reference.

Hey, Dr. Wolf.

I tried to get you to speak my
language without knowing yours,

and I made my own assumptions.

But you're nothing
like Brad Pitt.

T-The point is, is I see you now

and all the effort
you're putting in.

Well, if only you
could be my translator

like you were for Ana and Benny.

What if I could like Andy
in "The Devil Wears Prada"?

Like who in the what?

Uh, you know, like a whisperer.

But you do strike me
as a "Veep" gay.

I'll be your Gary,
Madam President.

Whatever you're trying to do,
you're making it worse.

Sometimes the miracle
never comes.

You don't defy the odds,

and it's up to you
to find a way forward.

Sorry to interrupt.

We, uh... we work
in the building where...

The story was all over the news,

and we just wanted to check in.

This felt a whole lot
less stalker-y in my head.

In a weird way,
it felt like we knew them

over the last few weeks.

We saw them
right before the fall.

And, you know,
they were having the best time.

And it sounds crazy, but...

it looked like
there was no place else

they'd rather be
than together up there.
