Previously, on Doc.

I had a car accident,

lost a lot of my memory.

This is too hard.

I'll retire the cape!
- I would settle for you

committing to a therapist.

I've been having memory seizures.

- She prescribed something?
- One milligram of Lorazepam.

- I need you to change it to 10.
- Is something wrong?

She screwed up a dosage yesterday.

- I can't even practice.
- For how long?

Joan's assigning me a new neurologist,

he'll be the one to assess.

This one's from Liz, and
she's definitely flirting!

We have surgery with
the vascular team for you.

I'm not doing it, Dr. Heller.

Not with Ruby gone.

Morning, my dear.

You've reached the home of Ruby and Dante.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Hey, Pops! Just checking in.

I'm surprised you're not
watching Mom's soap operas,

but hoping maybe you're getting out of it?

Anyway, I spoke to Bobby and Erica,

and we were thinking...

maybe we all come up there in a few weeks?

A little family reunion?
Everybody really misses ya.

Call when you can, okay, Pops?

Will...

There, in the medial prefrontal cortex,

- that's a new locus of activity.
- Huh.

And that's what's causing
my memory seizures?

It's certainly suggestive,

but real-time data will allow us

to correlate this area of brain
activity with your symptoms.

You understand that I need
to keep pursuing my memories.

I just want to stop the
seizures, and the side effects

- from the treatments.
- I do, Dr. Larsen.

Let's just be patient.

Still looking for something to nail her.

Keep scrolling.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! That one.

What?

It's an email from
Dr. Walker, that's her shrink.

To a Dr. Marks. Our girl's just cc'd.

Those are her memory recovery sessions.

This is gonna be fun!

We knew he'd be back here like this.

Yeah. He knew it too, I just
wish he had more fight in him.

Hey, Dante.

You're having a heart attack.

That's why you're in so much pain.

But we're starting meds to ease that.

I know you have a DNR and
you want comfort measures only.

I promise, we're going to make
this as painless as possible.

Who would you like us to call?

I have your, your son Will
and your daughter Erica

- as your emergency contacts now.
- Ungh.

Re-reunion.

Reunion?

Reunion.

Okay, what does that, what does that mean?

Going home? That's a good sign!

Hospitals are lots of fun,
unless you're the patient.

Well, it's the doctor
part I want to talk about.

I got a new therapist,

and I'm on the books three times a week?

Plus, we're transitioning
Amy's care to Dr. Marks,

and I'm planning on spending
more time with my wife.

You're not in the hot seat, Gina.

Then why do I feel like you just came back

from Max's office?

Dealing with other people's suffering

all day, everyday, can wear anyone down.

Even a superhero can end up doing something

self-destructive, like
confronting a violent abuser

in their apartment. That's what I told him.

So, compassion fatigue,

as opposed to me being
crazy and out of control.

I've known you for 24 years,

I believe it's an accurate diagnosis.

So, my plan sound okay?

Sounds fine.

In addition to a weekly debrief with me.

Ooh, hoo.

You look fairly miserable,
what's going on, buddy?

Spare me your feigned compassion and just

- gimme some pills!
- Okay, for what?

Kidney stones, flank
pain started this morning

and it's coming in waves, yup!

Argh! I went out last
night, had a couple of pops.

- Mm-hmm.
- A bit dehydrated,

that's what brought it on.

I can hydrate, flush these out at home.

Just be a sport, write me some Vicodin.

Out of curiosity, have you
run a diagnostic urinalysis?

- No!
- Here you go.

I'm not wasting my time with this!

And I am not prescribing
a Schedule I narcotic

without a proper workup.

Just get Jake, he'll do it!

Dr. Heller's busy with a case,
and I'm sure he wouldn't do it.

I'm a doctor, I know my own body!

And right now, you're a patient.

So shut up,

and pee in the damn cup!

Hey, why aren't you in school?

A second semester senior
who already got into college!

I figured you could use the company.

That's very sweet, but you
really don't need to worry.

- Did I say I'm worried?
I'm just here to support you.

Are you gonna use one hertz or two?

Well, I find one hertz works
best for temporal interference

deep-brain stimulation.

And you can reach the
medial prefrontal cortex?

Easily. Most patients
experience only mild tingling

starting now.

- Notice anything?
- Nope.

Now?

Still nothing.

Oh, yeah. That's, that's something.

Uh...

Danny!

- I saw Danny?
- I'm sorry, who's that?

Uh, he's, he's my son.

That's the first time I've seen him.

Interesting.

And, other things, too.

So, so many, all from that missing period.

Well, we have confirmation,
then. The area that we saw

in the FMRI is definitely
active, and contributing

to your latest episodes.

Are you alright?

Yeah, yeah. Uh, I just...

- Oh!
- Oh!

This is not what usually happens.

I'm shutting this down.

Yeah, uh, we, we can
start again in a minute.

No. We need to avoid further stimulation.

Phenobarbital will calm the area.

And stop the memory recovery!

For now.

No, you, you don't understand. I, uh...

I-I lost my son,

and, and these were new memories,

from the last year of his life.

- And I'm sure...
- Please, I can take the pain!

- What did we say before?
About being patient?

Pill?

Uh...

Now!

Hey, is this Will?

Yes?

Hi, this is Dr. Heller

over at Westside Hospital.

Um, we have your father here.

Oh God, how bad is it?

He's having a heart
attack, and I'm sorry to say

the situation's dire.

I'll be on the next plane.

Listen, your father's heavily medicated

and he's barely verbal,

but he did say one thing to us.

What's that?

The word "reunion."

Um, that's all he could get out.

Yeah, I uh. I left a message
for him this morning.

Me and my sisters are
planning a family reunion.

I'm sure you know this, but..

He did refuse surgery a few months ago,

and he has a DNR, so
I'm just trying to figure out

if maybe he changed his mind about things?

Is surgery even possible now?

I'm not sure, to be honest.

It was very risky then, and the situation's

much more acute now, so...

Well, if there's any chance,
please. Just do what you can.

Rachel's here, she says it's urgent.

Uh, listen, I'm very
sorry about this, Will.

Just get here when you can,

and I'll stay in touch
about the options, okay?

Thanks, Doc.

Hey, is Mia okay?

She's fine. It's your dad.

Our home phone number

is still listed on his
healthcare proxy form.

He had a stroke on the golf course.

- Uh, okay, well, um.
Where's he at, which hospital?

I didn't want you to hear
it from a random person

on the phone, so I came here.

I am so sorry, Jake.

He's gone.

My dad's in town tonight.

Oh, that's okay. We can
make other plans for dinner.

Or he could just join us.

Um, yeah. It's been a
while since I met the parents!

Well, he lives in Arizona,
and I don't know when

he's gonna be back,
so I don't know, I just,

I thought it was time for him to,

you know, meet my boss.

You ready to go? I can drive.

I'm gonna stay here.

What do you mean?

I gotta take care of a patient.

Can't someone cover?

- It's, it's important.
I'll, look, I'll be fine.

Do you want me to call the cemetery,

or I could ask Ally to do it.

No, no, my sister, she
can't, um... I'll handle it.

Um, and...

Can you not say anything to Mia?

I want to tell her myself.

- Of course.
- Yeah.

Is everything alright?

Yeah, but there's a, a family thing,

nothing to do about it
now. We need to get Dante

- to the cath lab.
- What for?

I spoke with his son Will,

he said his family's planning
a reunion for this summer,

so clearly, Dante wants
to be there for that.

Well, he was so medicated,
he was barely even conscious.

Let's get him into better shape,

and we can find out for sure.
- He has a triple A.

Okay, radial artery
approach, we just bypass it.

This'll be his fifth surgery in six years,

there's no way his body can take it,

and he told us a few months
ago that he didn't want it.

Obviously, things can change.

I love him too, Jake, but
you know it won't work,

we should just keep him alive long enough

for his kids to get here and say goodbye.

He could die, any minute,
one way or the other.

We're doctors, this isn't palliative care.

This is his daughter.

Oh, just, I...

Erica, can you just hold on one minute?

I think that we should talk to Dr. Ridley.

No, no. I'm Chief
Resident, this is my patient.

I'm ordering the
procedure, so call Dr. Patel

and you tell him it's urgent.

He's the head of the department!

Yeah, I know who he is!

Just, see if he's available.

Erica, I, um...

This is Dr. Heller, I
already spoke with Will,

I'm not sure if he told
you what's going on.

Dad!

Katie! Is something wrong?

It's about Mom. She has
a full day of neuro tests,

and it's not going well, at all.

Okay, slow down, tell me what's going on.

I don't know, but she came
out of the lab with a nosebleed.

Well, that can happen
with all the stimulation,

but Dr. Marks is excellent.

Trust me, she's in really good hands.

I don't want her to be alone today.

Will you come, please?

We're her only family.

Is watching me do this

everything you hoped it would be?

And then some!

Okay, you're done.

You alright?

I had a memory of Danny.

Just now? I, I thought
you took the medication.

No, this morning.

During the temporal interference.

It was his seventh birthday,

and I could see the cake, and the candle,

he was blowing it out.

Whoa.

If I could just get back
that last year with him,

I mean, that's one of the
things that's been torturing me.

Yeah, of course.

Amy?

Yeah. I...

it's just a lot, right?

I just don't know how

I'm supposed to shake off Michael.

So, this Michael guy is the
CMO and she was married to him,

and then after they
divorced, she started dating

a different doctor at Westside?

Dr. Heller, and she dated him twice!

Before and after her
accident, and she was his boss.

They must've kept it hidden.

This woman's a mess!

This is how we're gonna get her.

I've never seen left and
right medial prefrontal cortex

so reactive.

Is that new damage from the TMS treatments?

Or her brain's trying to
regenerate circuitry on its own.

Causation is always elusive.

But the meds should be
shutting down the reactivity.

At this locus,

I need to finish full connection's

brain mapping to know for sure.
- Well, one thing we know

for sure, she's on the
road to losing her ability

to practice medicine if she keeps pushing

herself the way she was.

At some point, she might have to choose

what's more important to her.

Oh, I gotta take this.

Hi, Dr. Rose. Yeah, thanks
for getting back to me, I...

Yeah, I, I have been
feeling a bit fatigued,

but my hand is steady, and I just...

want to make sure it's
okay for me to operate.

- Ungh!
- You rang?

I am looking for a reasonable
doctor who will give me

pain meds for the kidney
stone that I very obviously have!

Will you just prescribe me a
narcotic and let me go home?

His urinalysis shows no red cells.

Normal pH, no crystals,
stones, or bacteria.

Did you repeat the test?

Three times. All negative!

I tried to explain to him
that it could be negative

with an obstructing stone!

Sure, but then try a CT
scan. Have you discussed that?

Naturally!

You are getting the scan,

and you're gonna have to wait
like everybody else because

radiology's backed up today.

Thanks, Sonya. Knew I could count on you!

I'm having his body
flown in now from Arizona,

I want him in the plot next to my mother.

No, I can, I can come in in the morning,

and pick out a casket.

Yeah.

Thanks, I'll call you back in a few.

His artery's open, and
there's reasonable flow.

Okay, great. And his
troponins are flat, so that's good.

Well, there's no muscle
damage, but Dr. Patel

still won't support a triple A.

What, did you talk to him about it?

He's the cardiologist.

Well, that was for me to advocate.

It's not a question of who advocates,

he doesn't believe Dante will survive it,

and you'll never find a surgeon.

And I'm sure he felt your opinion in there.

I didn't sway him, Jake!

I'm gonna ask you to step aside.

What is going on with you today?

Did you hear me? If you're
not part of the solution,

you're part of the problem.

So, you owned a sporting goods store?

Yeah, I took it over from my father.

I would have passed it on to
Jake, but he had other plans!

You know, I think you're the
only Jewish dad in America

who's disappointed that
his son became a doctor!

If hospitals had jerseys, I
may have felt differently.

You had plenty of years
of me wearing jerseys, Dad.

What an athlete he was!

Three sports, captain of all of 'em.

- Oh!
- Nope, that's not true.

I was captain of baseball
and lacrosse, that's it!

- Batted 400 his senior year.
- No. That's also a lie, 398.

I'm rounding up!

Yeah, let him bask in your glory!

He would've played in college, but uh,

then he got caught up with Rachel, so...

Dad.

Okay, okay.

He's never been a fan of my ex.

- Why not?
- Shh, shh, shh.

I can see the smoke coming out of his ears.

That's not fair!

Fathers always think
they know best, let's just,

we'll leave it at that.

Ouch!

It's the ER.

Ida Lincoln's back in with
congestive heart failure.

Levine's on call, she can handle it.

Yeah, but you know, Ida, she's
demanding and complicated.

It's better for everybody if I'm there.

But he's leaving in the morning!

I know, I know. Look, I'm sorry Dad,

I'll be back as soon as I can.

You don't go stealing
my girl now, you hear me?

We'll see!

Dante, can you hear me?

I spoke to Will, he told me about your...

your family's plans for that reunion.

I feel like maybe that's what
you were trying to tell me?

That you want me to do
whatever I can to get you there.

If I'm right, I want you
to squeeze my hand.

Okay, that means surgery.

Very risky surgery, but
you wanna live, right, Dante?

His triple A's infrarenal,
it's not seven centimeters,

it's grown a centimeter and
a half in the past six months.

And you believe that qualifies as operable?

I do, yeah.

That's why you're not a surgeon.

His aorta's gonna explode on the table.

Yeah, probably, but if it
doesn't, we get him years!

I'm not gonna be his
executioner, Dr. Heller!

His family will sign off on this, if that's

what you're worried about.
- I'm not worried.

Okay, I would think you'd
welcome the challenge, then.

Just make him comfortable,

give him all the time he has left.

- Do you know about Danny?
- Who? I don't...

I just heard on one of the
tapes that when Amy was married

to the CMO, they had a seven-year-old son,

and he died on a school field trip

- from heart issues.
- So?

- Charlie, she lost a kid!
- Hannah, don't get mushy

- on me now!
- No, I'm just saying

the punishment should fit the crime!

The crime is that our dad is dead!

And we are a long way
from an eye for an eye.

Mapping visual cortex now.

I saw that one.

And that one, and that one.

You can indicate by just
raising your right index finger.

Okay.

Like, like that?

I saw your finger move, no need to confirm.

You okay, kiddo?

I'm seeing increased brain activity here.

Are you experiencing anything?

No.

Headaches? Seizures?

Not at all. No.

Dr. McLain, hey. I-I
was hoping I could...

You badgered everyone in the department,

and you came to me last. Not a good start

- to a sales pitch!
- Come on, look.

He's fully recovered
from his cardiac event.

I already looked at the scan, Jake.

If Becky Coolidge is gonna turn
it down, you can count me out.

I swear, what is it you guys? You're just

worried about protecting
your numbers, aren't you?

- I'd watch your mouth.
- Right. Yeah,

while, while you're killing
him with your cowardice!

You must be tired, why
don't you get some rest?

I, I didn't tell you this
before, but one of the things

I keep seeing, it keeps
overtaking my memories of Danny.

That man, in the Christmas market.

Now, I'm seeing him in a white coat.

He's a doctor. At Westside!

And he's arguing with me in my office.

When you were Chief?

Yeah, he had a, a mask
dangling around his neck,

so it must have been during Covid.

Do you have any idea who that could be?

Um, no, I mean, I think you had conflicts

with a lot of people.

But these flashes are
so insistent and repetitive.

I know my brain is trying to
warn me about something.

I'm sorry, I just don't know.

- During Covid?
- Mmm.

I was living with Dad, and
we weren't talking much.

Oh.

You guys must be starving.

Why don't you go get something to eat?

I think I will lie down for a bit.

Everything's looking
good to go for the surgery,

we're just working on
lining up the surgeon now.

Thank you so much for
everybody you're doing.

Of course.

You know, my father speaks
so highly of you, it's just...

Are you sure this is what he really wanted?

Because this is what
Will has been pushing for.

No, I completely understand,

but Will did not push
your father into this.

He wants to live.

For all of you.

Word around town is you've
been accosting surgeons

left and right!

I call it advocating for my patient.

And you fully dressed down McLain!

Yeah, well, all any of them

care about is just covering their asses.

I am disappointed in you, Dr. Heller.

You should have just come to me!

You'll do it?

Images are coming up now.

Great! Let me know when you see them.

Oh my God! Peter, I
just heard. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm, I'm fine.

I just, it's just a kidney stone.

Oh, you poor thing! Is
there anything I can do?

Uh, not at the moment?

Um, can I hit you back later?

Sure, sorry! Um, text me, okay?

- Okay!
- Sorry!

A little young, no?

- She went after me, man!
- Sure, of course!

Peter, can't help crapping where he eats!

14 hours a day, six days a week.

I guess this is where everybody hooks up.

Speaking of, what's going on with Liz?

Hah, both kidneys and
ureters clear, no dilation.

Definitely not a kidney stone!

I'm just saying, she's not
gonna wait around forever!

Switching to bone windows.

And I think we've been over this, Sonya.

I know you guys are
talking about me in there!

And, but, it was a mistake,
okay? So much pressure

to perform, and she may
not look it, but she was wild!

I mean, like, up was down,
forward was backward!

Okay, can we just turn off his mic?

It was like

being on a rollercoaster
with no safety bar.

And of course, I couldn't have
her coming back to work saying

- I wasn't up to the task, so...
- Gladly.

Wait, wait, wait. Uh, Peter?

That all sounds really exciting,

but uh, did you say it's
like a marathon session?

Oh gosh, yeah! It must
have been like three hours,

I thought I was gonna pass out!

Testicular torsion!

Mmm, explains everything,

and a simple exam
will clinch the diagnosis.

Mmm, one of us has to go
in there and uh, handle them?

And if you're right, this
is gonna hurt like nothing

he's ever felt before, isn't it?

Oh yeah!

I'll spare you the trauma!

- Mom!
- Amy?

- Oh my God!
- Amy!

- What's happening to her?
- Amy.

She's still breathing, get a crash cart.

I mean, I lost my wife at a
young age, but uh, a child?

It is unimaginable.

And your marriage couldn't survive it.

No.

But I still have a daughter.

She's, um...

Well, she lives with her dad.

I screwed that up,

I haven't figured out how to fix it yet.

Will there be anything else for you two?

Hmm, we're practically
shutting the place down.

We'll just take the check, please.

Oh, your son already took
care of it on his way out.

- Oh!
- Right.

Thanks.

Sometimes he overdoes it. I mean,

you gotta let your old man pick
up a check when he's in town!

I'm sure he's just trying to thank you.

For everything you've done for him.

No, no, he's just always
been so damn self-sufficient.

Even at 14.

When his mother died?

Never missed a school assignment.

Got himself to all his practices.

Took care of his younger sister.

I put a roof over their heads
and food on the table, but...

I didn't really do the
other part of the job,

the "being there" part.

And so, by the time he went off to school,

you know, sort of like that song,

"Cat's in the Cradle."

Well, I, I know how much he loves you.

Yeah, sure, but love's the minimum, right?

End of the line,

you kind of hope for
something more, don'tcha?

You know where you are?

Westside Hospital.

And I am?

Dr. Marks. What, what happened?

You collapsed. Do you remember any of it?

I was scrolling through
the physician directory.

Looking for that doctor?

I, I thought if he was still

- at Westside...
- I'm sorry, what doctor?

Someone that I keep remembering, a doctor

who is angry at me, and I just, I thought

if he was in the directory,

then I could match
his face to, to the image

that I have in my mind.

I've tested your
phenobarb level, it's at zero.

Which means you cheeked the pill!

So you could track this doctor?

No! I told you that I
saw my son, and that's,

that's why, it was for him.

But then I didn't get any
more memories of him,

I, I just keep seeing this man.

Well, the IV has meds in it now,

so the seizures will dissipate for sure.

But I need to figure out who he is!

The fact that you collapsed,

tells me that you could be
headed for cerebral edema,

hemorrhages, or even a stroke

if you continue with this non-compliance!

- Are you hearing me?
- Mom!

Yes. Yes, I understand.

The loading dose will sustain
you for the rest of the day.

Going forward, you need
to take an oral dose daily.

I'll be checking your levels to
make sure you stay on track.

I will take it, I swear!

Enough is enough, kiddo.

I know, I went too far.

No, it's not too far, Mom,
it's in the wrong direction!

You're looking backwards,
when you need to move forward!

I promise, I, I'll let it go.

I know you can hear me.

Just want to thank you

for being the best dad
that a kid could ever want!

I'm here too, Dad, with
all of your grandkids!

And Will's on his way from St. Louis.

His BP's dropping, we
gotta get him to the OR now.

But Will isn't here yet.

I'm really sorry, we just
can't wait any longer.

Daddy, we love you!

We love you so much, Pops!

Wait, wait! Do you want to write something?

- Oh, get some paper.
We need paper and a pen.

- Here.
- Thank you.

Here, Daddy.

For Will?

Okay, okay!

Dr. Ridley's one of the
best surgeons in the country.

If this was my father, this
is who I'd want in there.

I'll come out and give you an update

as soon as I know anything...

I'm sorry I'm late, flight got delayed.

Can I see Dad now?

We waited as long as we
could, but he just went under.

Under what?

He's anesthetized. The surgery's started.

No, no.

Hey. Dad knew you were
coming, Will. He wrote this for you.

He knew how much you
loved him, Will. He knew.

The urologist will take you

to the OR soon, to untwist you,

then you should be fine!

Don't give me that Pollyanna crap!

If the twist crimps off
the artery, it's all over.

Dead testicle. No sperm, no kids.

Kids?

Why not?

You don't seem the type!

- Who the hell's the type?
Every man's gotta be a dad.

Optimal oxygenation.

Scalpel.

Hemodynamically stable.

Open.

Ready?

Moment of truth.

Yup.

Cooly clamp.

Start the clock.

I think even if he was
down to his last dollar,

he wouldn't want you picking up the check.

I'm just trying to show my
appreciation for everything

he's done for me.

You should tell him that.

I think he knows.

He doesn't, Jake.

He kind of thinks he failed you.

- What?
- Just that, he wasn't

around enough when you were a kid.

And, ah, he really misses you.

Okay, well, he's the one
that moved to Arizona.

Yeah, Minnesota's cold!

True.

He wants to spend more time with you.

Talk more.

He mentioned that
song, "Cat's in the Cradle."

"When you comin' home,
son? I don't know when.

We'll get together then, Dad."

So, just don't wait for "then," Jake.

Please tell me you have good news.

The surgery went well.

It was extremely complicated,

his aorta, it was like tissue
paper, but Dr. Ridley stitched

it together masterfully.

Incredible!

Can I see him now?

He hasn't woken up yet.

But, but he will, right?

The operation required more
anesthesia than we had planned,

so he is slowly regaining consciousness.

And we're not gonna know for
sure that he's out of the woods

until he does wake up.

So, he, he might not wake up at all?

That's correct.

Okay, when will we know?

Two to three hours.

Well, Casanova, surgery was a success.

Yeah, looks like some
unlucky kid'll be calling

you Daddy someday!
- Peter Junior, baby! Let's go!

Peter, thank God!

I was so worried!

Oh! Oh, okay, okay! Uh...

Okay, then! We'll leave you two alone.

Is it me, or was that just too much fun?

No, no, no, that was as good as it gets!

Hey!

If the hospital gossip's true,
I want to hear everything!

Yeah, it doesn't get much better than that,

but I think I'm still bound by HIPAA.

Ah damn!

Listen, I've been wanting to talk to you.

Here I am.

I like you, Liz.

You are beautiful, smart,

and you seem like the kind of
woman any guy in his right mind

would want to go out with.

Just not you.

Let's just say a workplace relationship can

really twist things up.

And I would hate for things
to get weird between us.

So...

friends?

Yeah, friends. Of course.

Cool.

Hey.

How's he doing?

Um, well, no change since the OR.

There's still time.

Fingers and toes crossed.

Well, whatever happens,
whether he makes it or not,

thank you. You were a rockstar in there.

And you gave him a shot.

Who is he to you?

A father.

Those kids want more time with him.

I'm still here!

You're still here.

And you're gonna be here for a while now.

Reunion!

Hey.

I love you, Pops!

I love you so much.

So, you pulled it off.

Uh, yeah, well,

I think I had some help from
the man upstairs on this one.

The man?

Look, um. About earlier, I'm sorry.

I think things just got a little personal.

No, but...

if there is something going on,

you know I'm here, right?

Yeah, yeah. Of course.

Thank you.

You gotta hear this!

Got something good?

You realize we can blow up
all of her relationships with this?

She barely touched her food.

I think this is all too much for her.

That's how this day started.

She came to me because she was overwhelmed.

She shouldn't have to worry
about taking care of her mother.

Especially not after
everything she's been through.

Yeah, she's had to grow up fast.

But sometimes she thinks
she can handle too much.

Maybe she needs to go
home with you, just for a bit.

But the last thing I
want is for her to feel like

- I'm pushing her away, I...
- She's 18,

and pretty damn smart.

Why don't we just talk
to her about it honestly,

and let her decide?

Yeah, that'd be great.

Thank you, Michael.

I'll go get her.

So, it means you're gone

and we won't be able to see him again.

Not ever?

No.

Not ever, but...

We try and keep him in our hearts.

That we can do for as long as we live,

and then it's kind of like
they're still here with us,

but they're just inside of us.

Hello?

Hey, it's uh, Jake.

I know. Caller ID.

Oh yeah. Um...

I heard you had a rough day today.

Intense. But I'm okay.

I saw Katie and Michael there with you?

Yeah, Katie kind of dragged him into it.

She was worried.

And then I had some memories of Danny.

Wow, wow, was it, was
that, was that the first time?

Yeah.

Well, I could see why
you'd wanna chase those.

Yeah, the whole thing
kind of freaked Katie out,

so she went back to Michael's for a bit.

I'm sorry, that must be really tough.

Are you okay? You sound...

I don't know.

Um...

My dad died this morning.

Oh! I'm so sorry, Jake.

Yeah. Yeah, it was a
stroke. He wasn't even sick.

I don't suppose I ever met him?

Uh, you did, yeah. Once.

Oh. I wish I could remember that.

We, uh, we all went out to dinner one time,

and I guess he kind of opened up to you,

'cause you told me there were some things

I needed to tell him.

And did you?

Uh, no.

Nope, um, and that was
the last time I saw him.

Just, I always thought I
had more time, you know?

Yeah, we always do.

Till we don't.

I really missed you today.

I miss you every day.

Do you think you could be there,

at the, at the funeral?

Of course!

You know, even though he
only met you that one time,

my dad, he, he really loved you.

Well, if he's anything like his son,

I'm sure I loved him.
