Gunshot wound to the left side. Seems to have missed the heart, but shredded the

lung. BP dropping.

He's hypoxic to 70. Must have nicked a vessel. Got to find the bleeder. Prep

thoracotomy. On my count. Three, two, one.

Ordered three units of own eggs. Scalpel.

A career in medicine can take you down many different paths.

Spreader.

If you're lucky, you end up where you're supposed to be.

Found it. Clap.

Clapping.

BP rising.

Great save, J .D.

Great, let's get a new aura, guys.

Stop it.

Stop it.

You guys are crazy. Stop it.

Dr.

Dorian? Will you sign my tattoo?

Sure.

That was a good hair day.

Great job, man.

Glad you're feeling better.

Dr. Dory?

Dr. Dory?

Do I need stitches?

Sure, being a concierge doctor isn't non -stop excitement, but I have more time

to see my kids. No, Frank, for cuts this small, we just use a little dab of

glue. Fantastic job keeping your food journal, Lisa. I just didn't expect to

the word smash burger on every page.

It's really been a full four hours?

We gotta get that thing down, Reggie. And making house calls for the upper

sure pays well. I'm more concerned with how it's leaning.

Yep, this was my life now.

That's why it felt so weird to be back at Sacred Heart.

I live an hour away, but one of my patients collapsed at her grandson's

tournament nearby and got admitted.

So here I am.

Okay, listen up, people, listen up.

That means you, neck brace.

Some things never change. This hospital is cold black, which means we are at

capacity.

So unless you got a baby's head peeking out from between your legs, do not ask

me how much longer. How much longer, mamacita?

Unless you are.

Oh, my God, Bambi.

What the hell?

Does Turk know you're here? He has no idea.

GT is here.

Ready to restate.

Eagle!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

It's your sciatica.

Engage your core, Seabear.

I'm going down. Pull up. I'm going down.

I think it might be time to retire, Eagle. She's right, J .D. It's time.

it. Okay.

Time of death.

You know, I actually can't see that without my glasses.

I can't do this all on my own. No, I know.

I'm no Superman.

I'm no Superman.

So, now that you're in town, should we go out to dinner? Yes. Do you guys have

place you usually go? Buddy, we haven't been out to dinner since the Disney

princesses were white.

Besides, baby, I could really use some man time.

Turk was surrounded by female energy.

He had four daughters, Izzy, Ellie, Sophia, and Nora.

Izzy, Vito, take care of Bella Bella.

Daddy, why don't I have a nickname?

Oh, you do, sweetness?

You had an accident.

Turk!

Fine, have your guys' night out. Yes!

See you later. See you later, guys.

Ow.

Nostalgia washed over me. The smell of the bleached floors.

The blinding fluorescent lights.

The closet where Elliot and I hid from our very first code.

That's where our love story began.

Do me right here.

Okay. See?

Holy crap, J .D. Good God, you're like a blonde ninja.

What the frick, why are you here? Oh, by the way, our marriage didn't make it. I

have a patient. I'll be gone soon, I promise. Your promises mean just about

much as...

We agreed in couples counseling that in order to have a healthy post -divorce

life, we need to respect each other's faith.

I hate couples counseling. Could you please be mindful of your tone to avoid

negative patterns from our marriage? I love couples counseling. Look, J .D.,

I've really been working on myself, okay?

I've been lighting a candle for every resentment I had about our marriage and

floating them across the pond at Winston Park. I'm in a good place. I don't want

to backslide. I can't just light all those candles again. It was really cold,

and I got a ticket for scaring the ducks.

There's my gal.

Oh, goodness, Jonathan.

They've got teenagers working here. Those are just interns, Mrs. Brooks.

Okay, your labs look fine. I think you just dehydrated. Who admitted you? I

Oh, can I ask why?

No judgment. None taken.

I admitted her because I'm a good doctor.

Oh, Dr.

Park, is it? When doctors fight in front of a patient, they always try to make

it sound friendly. These labs are normal for a woman of her age? If it helps, I

could explain to you what all these fancy numbers mean.

It's so nice to meet an incredibly stupid person. Her abdominal pain

ischemic bowel. No, all she needs is hydration and emollient laxatives.

And there he was, the chief of medicine, my mentor.

At least he couldn't call me newbie anymore.

What can I do for you there, oldie? Damn it.

Perry, Dr. Park here needs to know that my medical expertise is on par with his.

Well, now, Dr. Park graduated top of his class at Stanford, whereas your current

claim to fame is handing out erections like tiny hot dogs at a bar mitzvah.

Well, run a blood gas on her and see who's right.

Is that on the I .O.? Mm.

It's on me idea.

Dr. Park is teaching me Korean.

Did I hear my name in there? No. Walk with me.

I, uh, heard about the divorce. Sorry about that. Also, thankful I, uh, won

dollars off of Mickhead. I took the under.

Actually, it is good to see you.

I miss the days when you were an intern. Oh, you don't have to say that. I knew

it. He's about to ask you to play golf at his fancy private club. Damn it. Why

did you only learn the mini kind?

Get a load of this motley crew.

Nope, no, no. Sorry.

I am not sure how to teach these kids.

I can't work them crazy hours or even abuse them anymore.

And that's a bad thing. Exactly. I wasn't sure if you'd get that. I am now

supposed to watch every word that comes out of my mouth because apparently they

are all fragile little Christmas ornaments.

Case in point, TikTok talk.

Oh, hey, Dr. Cox. Tomorrow, I am going to perform a central line placement, and

it would just be fabulous if you could come in early and observe.

I'm good. I just watched one on YouTube like two days ago. It slapped.

Do you know Dr. Randy?

He's my favorite creator. He breaks down procedures while doing bedtime ASMR.

It'll give you really graphic dreams. I'll send it to you. You're gonna die. I

will die if you send it to me, because then I'll just have to murder you. And

with all these witnesses, I think it's pretty safe to assume they'll give me

share.

Dr. Cox, I'm going to need you to go ahead and bring it down.

Work -life balance is a core principle of our wellness program.

Now, if you can't embrace that, then you'll have to join me at my sensitivity

training workshop.

Don't I get three strikes?

You have 900 strikes.

Woman's like the damn feelings police.

Feelings police?

Go change your shirt. You look chubby in that.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You know he's insecure about his body. Thank you. He's just not ready to show

you his vulnerability yet.

Wow. You're really in touch with male feelings.

How do you think I became a feelings cop?

What the hell?

I could help so many people.

Hey. Good morning, sir.

Dr. Chapstick is flirting with you? I don't know. I'm never sure.

Last Thursday, he did tell me that he thought I had a cute burp. Dark

Yeah, he totally wants to get on that flat ass.

I had planned to accidentally burp near him the other day, but then J .D. threw

me off my game. Stop worrying about J .D. here.

Chug half of that and go launch a cute burp into that man's face.

Hey, guys.

I cannot believe I wasted that on you.

I actually miss those.

Hey, by the way, if you can get out of here early, we can hit the happy hour

that has those awesome free wings.

Tashana, can you go see if there's an open OR? You know our diabetic guy, Mr.

Kiefer? Let's move his toe amputation up to now.

On it, Dr. Turk.

I'll tell the patient there's a free wing issue.

Well, don't do that. Don't mention the wings, please. Don't do that. No, no.

Just one more test, and if the results are what I think they are, I should be

able to get you out of here today, all right? Oh, thank goodness.

Hold it.

Can you babysit these for a minute, please? I need to go count to ten. This

asked if he could shut his eyes while I place a central line.

Admittedly, I do still get a little woozy around some procedures. All

procedures. All procedures.

Oh.

Okay, well, let's start by introducing yourself. This is Mrs. Brooks. I'm Dr.

Green. I believe kindness is the best medicine. Actually, medicine is the best

medicine. You're going to get an arterial blood gas on Mrs. Brooks. He's

to do it? I'm going to puke if I do it. I don't want him puking on me. If he

pukes, I'll puke. No one is puking.

Okay, you got this.

Mm -mm.

Mm -mm.

Oh, my God, this is humiliating.

Captain Bedside's face that way. Yeah, I think that's probably for the best.

Now, don't be overconfident. Finding the radial artery can be tricky.

I'm in.

Nice job, Blake. You made that look handsome. Easy.

Easy does it.

I gotta admit, I miss teaching.

That's what this place is all about. Dr. Turk, maybe I could close?

No, just watch.

Okay. Damn, I wish this guy would just die all at once instead of in tiny

pieces.

I don't know how much more I can take of this, but I'm not going to let him

crush my spirit. We can't let Dr.

Bummer break us.

See, this is what I really miss. The hot guy.

Who's Dr. Bummer? I don't know. The mother guy. He's definitely not your

friend. Turk's not a bummer.

He is the worst. There's no way. And if he's ever in a bad mood, all you got to

do is go, what's up?

And he'll die laughing. I swear. Try it.

What's that?

Go practice.

Carla, do you know Turk's interns call him Dr. Bummer? Well, I mean, I'm sure

you know how dark Turk's been at work lately.

Just nod like you do. And he refuses to talk about it. You all talking about Dr.

Turk? If so, where's that?

Even Hooch knows?

He's so crazy. He's gotten worse. Doctor.

Thanks. Just what I wanted to see.

Hey, Seabear. I was right about my patient.

Want to come watch me rub it in Dr. Cox's face like the good old days? You

I do.

Hey, but you know what? You should chew a big wad of gum.

You always look tough when you chew gum. I do look tough when I chew gum. I hope

they have berry blasts.

Excuse me, Doctor.

My wife's outside in the car throwing up.

It might just be the stomach flu, but... So you're going to have to go to the

ER?

If we go to the ER, we're going to be crushed with bills.

I think we'll just wait in the car in case it gets worse, but could you just

take a quick look at her? Look, man, you can't order health care from your car,

okay? It's a hospital, not a Wendy's.

Sorry.

You didn't have to be so hush. If you want to go help them, help them.

You're going to get fired, but I think we'll all live.

Go, Kim.

It's Sam.

A word, Harry? Yeah, a word, Perry.

So it turns out that Mrs. Brooks' blood gas... I can't understand a word you're

saying. I know, because the club has too much bubba. I can't control it. The

berry's blasting all over my mouth. Give it to me.

Go ahead.

Mrs. Brooks' blood gas came back. She's not acidotic. Dr. Park, you were wrong.

Your boy botched it. Well, my boy here needs the burn unit because he's on

You both owe me an apology.

I'd rather self -circumcise.

Ah. Gummy.

You two idiots are perfect for each other.

He's not wrong, by the way.

I might as well have asked him. Yeah, what of? Let's get wings.

You look so tough right now.

That went so well with Dr. Cox, I decided to press my luck.

What's been going on with you, man? I'm hearing you're in a rough place.

Nah, that's nothing.

Your interns call you Dr. Bummer. You know, I really don't want to talk about

right now. I just want to go out and blow off some steam.

Actually, Turk, just hold on one second.

Oh, boy. Come on, man. What is up?

I'm burnt out.

Okay? My patient today is a perfect example. Once he heals, he's going to

my advice and go right back to drinking and eating garbage.

And I'll keep removing body parts until he eventually dies on my table. And his

family will ask me, why couldn't you do more?

You know, back in the day when you were here, we could at least get up on the

roof and laugh the day off with a couple of beers, but...

Can't do that anymore, can we?

There's no joy.

None.

Why haven't you told me this? I could have been there for you.

I don't think you could relate to what I'm going through anyway. I mean, you

write scripts in the suburbs.

I don't feel like going out anymore. I'm going to go home.

Turk!

What's up?

Not tonight, J .D.

Ooh, you okay?

No. Good.

Did you at least discharge my patient? Dr. Cox wants me to keep her for another

night.

Toodles.

Are you kidding me?

I was doing my best angry walk because after Turk told me he was going home

night, I heard he went out with someone else. What the hell, man? You went out

with a Todd?

I knew with you it'd be therapy. I didn't want to go deep. The Todd really

to go deep.

With consent, Five.

Hey, Carla, if you were planning on having sex with Turk tonight, don't. He

doesn't deserve it. She's not. They're sex nights Thursday. Stop telling

everyone what to do. Elliot.

What? I didn't even mention that you do it in the minivan because of the kids.

Oh. I'm sorry. I've just been a little bit tense because someone decided to

J .D.'s patient here a little bit longer. Why is J .D. being here so very

on you? Aren't you the one who ended the marriage?

Where did you hear that?

Who can say?

Carla. Barbie.

Carla and I have been sharing secrets since before you and your sorority

were in Panama City flashing the cameras for Girls Gone Wild. I was told they

would be pixelated. Elliot is in a lot of pain, okay?

Okay. Ah, yes.

In the history of relationships, it has always been hardest on the one who ends

it.

Well, I'm not being a jerk, am I?

Oh, sweetie.

It's gonna be fine.

The second I saw Dr. Cox, I turned my angry walk right back on.

Why is Mrs. Brooks still here? Why do you have the physique of a menopausal

lesbian? Whoa, too mean.

Not now, oldie.

This is frustrating.

You gave me the impression that you were able to place a central line since you

learned from your... Dr.

Randy, was it? Yeah, but he was really chill and you're giving mean football

coach vibes?

Miss Tosh.

You'll notice I'm not saying Dr.

Tosh. Dr. Cox?

Oh.

Thank you.

You know, it used to be see one, do one, teach one.

Now it is C1, C1, C1, C1, C1 more. Call your therapist. Talk about how it felt

to C1. Decide that scene one is just too triggering. It would take a Xanax to

calm down, an Adderall to lock in, and finally...

focus enough to be able to write about the whole ordeal in your dream journal

course if your dream is to be a mediocre doctor mission accomplished and by all

means hang on to the scrubs maybe use them for halloween because you're damn

sure not going to be using them around here much longer okay i'll see you

saturday worth it feelings believe what oh it's this little song i hear in my

head whenever i see you oh i love it feelings with me you got it

Hey, you can do this.

Guide that finder needle into the jugular. And she's going to nick that

No, she's not. She's not nicking anything. You got this, Pam.

Is it on my face?

No.

No, no, no.

Why don't you go take a couple, okay?

Five, ten, fifteen, whatever you need.

Keep going.

And she did it.

And only one person wasn't psyched for her.

Hey, Blake.

Just a little advice.

You can't keep alienating everyone, okay? This job is really rough. You're

to need people.

Well, I'm not a kid like them, so don't worry about me. I'll be fine.

Not if nobody has your back.

Trust me.

Gotta go.

That's why I kept your patient here.

I'm sorry, what?

To keep you here.

You needed a reminder of how very good you are at what you do.

Getting her through that procedure, that inspiring nonsense you just said to

that gorgeous young man. I can't do that.

I want you to come back.

Are you messing with me?

No.

Come back.

Make a difference.

At least give it some thought.

Dr. Dorian, can I talk to you?

I'm about to go into surgery. What the hell are you guys doing? All right,

Tasha, tell them what you told me. Well, Dr. Turk, the reason I chose this

hospital was because of you.

Hey, all I kept hearing was how great Dr. Turk is.

You're like the only other black surgeon in this place.

Hey, the rest of them just got, like, some cold play on loop in the OR and say

stuff like, wow, you're so articulate.

I guess I just thought you'd be my guy.

Great job.

Now we leave so he can feel horrible about himself.

No, Tishana, you stay.

You're gonna close. Are you good with that?

Yeah, sure. Yeah, no problem.

Oh, and Tishana, this brother likes Coldplay, too.

I had no idea what to do about Dr. Cox's job offer, so I decided to sleep on it.

Sometimes when you feel a little lost, the world gives you a sign.

It's just not always a good one.

What's the status?

She's found unresponsive in her car. Heart attack.

We're trying, but she's gone.

Why couldn't you have helped us?

I had seen these moments too many times.

You just said it was a stomachache.

You can't get through them on your own.

This wasn't your fault.

Could have happened to any one of us.

It would have taken me one minute to just walk out there and check on her.

she's dead because I didn't walk outside.

I should have done something.

And like that, I knew what my decision was.

Hey.

What are you still doing here? I thought you'd be long gone by now.

I'll take the job.

Oh, I'm quite glad.

Barry, working alongside you will be one of the great honors of my life.

I should have been clear.

You're not going to be working with me. You're going to be me.

You're the new chief of medicine.

What? No.

I can't be you.

You're right.

Must be you.

This particular world has passed me by.

You're the only one I trust to do better and try harder.

Perry, I really don't think I... Those interns need somebody to do for them

I did for you.

Okay?

Dr. Park really wanted this job.

And his hatred for you is going to burn quite hot.

That thought will keep me warm at night.

I have never been a boss.

I've never even run a lemonade stand.

But one thing's for sure, I can't do this all on my own.

You know, I read in the New York Times that there's such a male loneliness

epidemic that some guys are actually calling their friends at night to say

goodnight. That's crazy.

I know.

Do you think it would be cool? Not a shot in the dark. I don't want to do it

either.

Maybe once a week.

Wednesday it is.
