to my classmates, faculty, and to our distinguished guests.

My name is Taryn Quinton.

It is my honor to represent the class of 2016 as our valedictorian.

As your valedictorian.

Over the past four years, we made lifelong friends.

We fell for our first boyfriend, our second boyfriend,

Hey, maybe even our third boyfriend. Excuse me.

Most of you know about my challenge.

I call it the book.

Taryn, one to ten. How bad is it?

Not to ten. Please, not to ten.

Be honest with me, baby. One to ten.

I'm calling.

I'm calling.

They can cure sickle cell now.

Our world.

The disease has been around forever, I guess.

Someone figures out how to slice up DNA strands, change it, and boom.

Cure.

We live in amazing times.

Who are they curing exactly?

There are two versions on the market.

One cost $3 million.

The other's a bargain at two.

Insurance covers exactly none of it.

These things take time.

They shouldn't, but they do.

I'll let your hematologist know you're back again. We'll get you admitted, get

you a blood transfusion, and send you home with some pain control.

Usual drill.

with the glowing chest?

Is that a metaphor?

Little metaphor.

Expression of Watson's unchecked vanity.

I could puzzle it out, but that's exactly what Watson wants.

You want to talk about it? Talk about what, honey?

The ball -ridden rage email.

You didn't send on that?

I'm lead neurologist on this spinal signal project.

We're vetting candidates for the surgery, and the chairman keeps

suggestions.

I'm a lead neurologist.

Is that the official title, or are you just the only neurologist?

These people are going to have AI implants in their brain and spinal

We're going to help paralyzed people walk again. The trial needs young

candidates.

Oh, wow. Are you going to yell your way to get what you want?

I'm not yelling.

I'm typing.

We live in amazing times.

I mean, a divorce schmuck in Pittsburgh can think a few grand into gene editing

equipment and boom.

Glowing chest.

Yes, yes, you did it. I'm not sure why you did it or even if it's fake, but you

did it. What do you mean you don't know why?

glowing chest.

See, that's the thing, Obi. I never once looked at my chest and said, I wish

that thing could glow. Well, yeah.

Why would you? I mean, your pecs are glorious. You're like in the top 1 % of

chests worldwide.

Ah, stop.

Guys like me, we need a little shine.

What?

You're shining. You have to admit, it's a cool idea.

That's why you answered my emails in the first place. No, I recall emailing you

back to advise you against hacking your own genome.

So I just come to make sure you're okay and track the side effects of amateur

biohacking.

I, yeah, I wouldn't say amateur.

I'm sorry, my colleagues are having trouble with the concept. Do you mind if

take a picture? No, no, no, go ahead. You don't even need a flash.

That is a glowing chest.

I have so many questions.

Someone's been messing with CRISPR.

I've seen frogs engineered with firefly genes, but I have never seen that.

A man's tool to correct genetic mutations is another man's tool.

Look at them.

Look at us what?

Because it's obvious what you're thinking.

What are we thinking?

If that guy can get his chest to glow, can he also... We can make a glowing

penis. We have the technology.

I'll alert the Nobel Committee.

Well, anyway, you're the same as last week. Everything's fine.

Yeah, I'm more than fine. I'm glowing.

You're glowing.

My guy.

Her name is... It's Taryn Quinton. She's been admitted to U -Hop five times in

the past few months. At 26?

Oh, sickle cell.

I got it. She lives in more or less constant pain, and she knows there's a

out there that no one will let her have.

Well, I can fix her in a single day.

I'm serious.

But sickle cell is genetic. The breakthrough happened when they

CRISPR. You can edit your own genome now.

So two of these drug companies just patented one way to use it.

So, yes, I could fix her in a single day.

Of course, I'd have to skip the clinical trials, go around the FDA, and then I'd

be arrested, but I could fix her.

John, join me back on Earth.

This woman had a stroke in our ER today. They were slammed, and it was 20

minutes before they found her.

Taryn Quinton suffered alone for 20 minutes in my hospital. I want to help

There's a clinical trial coming together, an alternate version of the

cell cure. I want to try to get Taryn into it, but with her symptoms right

now... She's in rough shape. They'd never take her. So figure out why the

cell's worsening so rapidly.

Stabilize her so she can be eligible for the trial, right?

I got you.

I got you?

That's it?

I'm sure there'd be more.

You're being very cooperative.

Is that a problem?

It's not a problem.

Weird. Maybe a little suspicious, but not a problem.

Okay, well, I got you.

Who is that?

But are you my doctor?

Are you having trouble seeing terribly?

Everything is blurry.

I hit the call button and no one came.

Okay, I'm here now. I'm here now.

I need you to stay very still.

I'm going to shine a light into your eyes, okay?

What is wrong with me? Am I going blind?

Just give me one second.

Your eyes are bleeding from the inside.

You want to put a needle in my eyeball?

Take this thing off me, please.

The injection will help you. I've spoken to four different people since I was

admitted. Who is my doctor and what is my treatment plan?

I'm so sorry, Taryn. I didn't take the time to introduce myself.

My name is John Watson and I am your doctor.

Myself and a team of four specialists are going to take you on as a patient at

our clinic.

You're in good hands.

Now, my immediate plan, with your permission, of course, will be to give

anti -vascular endothelial growth factor injection, which should help stabilize

your vision.

You're going to feel pressure from a needle, but it's not going to hurt.

Eye hemorrhaging isn't a common side effect of a sickle cell episode. Was

your first time?

My first stroke, too.

The attacks have been getting worse all year.

Well, your strokes seem to be relatively mild, but considering your age, the

long -term trends are very concerning.

Well, I have a journal in my bag.

Everything that's happened, it's all in there.

Doctors' names, state scenes, prescriptions. You're very organized.

I'm a software engineer.

I've got to keep the code stacks tidy.

But data, how I fight the bully, a lot of good it's doing me.

The bully.

It's a good name for sickle cell. It kicks you while you're down.

But I'll tell you what.

We're going to have to punch back.

But first, I need to help you see again.

And I will tell you one thing that I know for sure.

There's a cure for sickle cell.

You definitely shouldn't be suffering like this.

According to the journal, Taryn Quentin has been hospitalized five times in

three months.

I'm sorry, that is too many times.

Even for a sickle cell patient. She is 26 years old.

Her symptoms are presenting a sickle cell, but maybe that's a misdiagnosis.

If hers was picked up on a newborn screening, methods back then were

prehistoric. This could be hemoglobin SC disease.

She has sickle cell.

Taryn Quinton has sickle cell disease. In fact, let me help.

This is a rare case where an exclamation point is necessary.

I looked up her peripheral smear today in the lab, and she had sickle cell.

Okay, so opioids.

Fluids. The mystery here isn't what's wrong with Karen, but no. The mystery is

why do we live in a world that could cure her, but won't?

Because we do.

And what do we do about that?

Aside from the obvious answer.

There's an obvious answer?

Of course there is. We have CRISPR.

We can easily replicate a cure with a day of focused work.

Honestly, we could beat it. Sorry.

Science cured sickle cell disease and you are... I'm impressed.

Well, the science is impressive, but that's neither here nor there. We can't

duplicate the cure because, of course, that would be illegal.

I don't think you need air quotes for that. We can proceed on three fronts.

Make sure there's nothing else wrong with Taryn that's causing the escalation

her symptoms.

Twins, you two supervise a high -performance liquid chromatography test.

Monitor Taryn's recovery from this crisis. Decrease the frequency of the

episodes so she's eligible for clinical trials.

Dr. Darian, Dr. Lubbock, that's on you.

You can also look through her journal for more clues while you're at it.

You held up two fingers.

You said we'd proceed on three fronts. You held up two fingers.

There's a cure for sickle cell.

The science is mediocre. The cost is $3 million out of pocket.

And it's the property of a lawyered -up monolith butt.

It does exist.

Our patient will have it.

Perrin can see.

The anti -VEGF injections work.

Hydromorphone's helping with the pain.

She's on her way to some relief.

Anything in her journal?

She's getting worse. More symptoms more often.

Time between each crisis keeps shrinking.

How would you do this?

I want this patient admitted to my final project. The chairman has dismissed two

of my candidates.

You're ruthless.

How'd you get this one in?

I beg your pardon?

I'm not ruthless.

Did you work group projects in med school?

When you were on one and you didn't like how it was going, what'd you do?

Took on all the work.

Offered to write up the project so I could throw out any bad ideas.

Made sure the professors knew who did everything.

I mean, you can't come out and say that obviously, but there are ways.

You would beat up a baby if it stood in between you and an A.

Babies can't stand.

What do I do here?

Teach me your sinister ways.

All right.

Gigi Gregorian.

Who is she?

Someone I want in the trial.

You need to tell a story.

Why should it be Gigi?

Make a case.

Pull some heartstrings.

Drop a hint as to what could possibly happen if the trial excludes deserving

young candidates like her.

You ruthless bitch.

You have to be subtle.

It's not a threat. You're just voice and concern.

You're quiet today, don't you?

Big ideas brewing in there tonight, hey?

You don't have to lay time in my bathroom.

Strikes me that this plan of yours... Oh, I don't know.

Let's review it, shall we?

Quick trip to New York City.

Vague plans for a sit -down with someone from a major biotech company.

No appointment of any kind.

No. And this is meant to end with the young lady getting a $3 million product

free of charge.

Well, I wouldn't say free of charge.

Their cure is this sloppy and suboptimal. They edit too much of the

Why would you cut out an entire chapter of a book when all you have to do is

replace the single spelling mistake?

So in exchange for access to a cure that you describe as sloppy and suboptimal,

you will... Improve that cure.

You know full well this is a suicide mission.

Question is, why are you taking it on?

And what are you planning for after it fails?

Stevens, what can I do for you?

We have to turn around.

The pain came back all at once.

I threw the kitchen sink at it.

L -glutamine, chrismizumab, hydromorphone, PCA, so she can rest. She

having another crisis.

Another crisis. The same crisis. One big crisis that hasn't really stopped for

months.

Who's to say?

The results of her high -performance liquid chromatography test came back.

has a rare form of sickle cell.

Adam and I called five different hematologists.

None of them have seen this outside of textbooks.

Taryn's latest blood work.

Her hemoglobin levels are plummeting.

I'll keep giving her transfusions and managing her pain.

Quiet so she can live in crisis until her body finally quits on her.

I don't like this any more than you do.

It's our best option.

Morning, Gov.

Could I be of service to you, Gov?

Actually, I could use your advice. It's about Plan B.

Which was Plan I all along.

This advice, though, it could involve bringing you into something that...

Could have implications down the line.

Mm -hmm.

I'm saying it's not safe for us to have the conversation I want to have.

And yes, it will.

Listen, I can make this patient better.

Thing is, I have to get around the FDA, the administration at U -Hop, including

Mary, and the law to do it.

Oh,

you're planning a job.

No, I wouldn't put it that way. You're talking about a crime.

Yeah? Is it against the law for me to cure Taryn Clinton? Yes.

So you're planning a job, then?

Answer that, I say.

You've come to the right man.

All righty, then. So, when you are planning a job... Ah, there's the phrase

again. Job.

When you are planning a job, first order of business is limiting one's exposure.

That means as few accomplices as possible. I object to the word

Well, you object all you like. If you go through with this, you're going to be

putting your career into the hands of other people.

Other people do not share your interests.

Thank you for pointing that out. Meaning the fewer, the better. Now, I'm already

in, but we'll take that as square.

You have plenty of information about my criminal activities.

Now I'll have something about yours. Criminal activities.

Do not shy away from accurate phrasing, Gov.

It's not a good look.

So, me, the patient, of course.

Who else?

I need someone skillful to help me with the procedures.

Hobie McSorley comes to mind.

Hobie? Hobie. The man that wants to turn his knob into a glow stick.

Okay, well, he may aim low, but Hobie's got game.

He already operates extra legally.

Another bent man. That's good.

And actually, from what I need here...

I would take Holby over any of the fellows.

Yeah, the fellows.

Lovely young people, but not hard folk.

I wouldn't trust a single one of them to hold up under questioning.

Maybe Ingrid.

Yeah, you're right. They can't know.

Agreed. What's next?

Next? Next, you recruit your gang.

Pay's not too bad?

Listen, we failed you, Taryn.

It's easy to say it like that, we, because when everyone's to blame, then

no one really is.

But I'd like to offer you something more than sympathy.

What is that?

With your permission, I'd like to do a procedure called base repair editing.

We start by drawing your blood, collecting your stem cells.

Then we create a base editor. It's a microscopic tool that would correct the

mutation that's causing your sickle cell.

From there, I drill into your shin, tapping into your bone marrow, where the

edited cells will replicate.

You should feel better quickly.

Feel better?

I'm talking about a cure, Taryn.

And if things go the way I hope, you'd be free of the disease.

The current cures on the market, they require a stem cell ablation. It's

chemotherapy that could leave you infertile.

This is different.

I could still have a baby.

Yes. And now I just need the guy.

Come on, an accomplished software engineer, valedictorian of Autodise,

2016? Listen, I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds, but I find it

believe that you're single.

Mm -hmm.

It happened right before my last crisis.

George is a good guy. He just got tired.

The hospital visit, the pain.

It's a lot.

This procedure, if it sounds like the answer to all my problems,

Why is this the first time I'm hearing about it? No one's ever tried it before.

Now, I believe that it's safe, and I believe that the red tape is the only

reason you can't get it already.

This is not an approved procedure.

If we do this, I'm putting my career in your hands.

You can't tell anyone what happened, even when you start to feel better.

You could lose your job.

Yes.

If something happens, I... I could lose my freedom.

Why would you do this?

Because no one else will.

Because you deserve it.

Because I'm your doctor.

I'm sure you know the sickle cell trait protected our ancestors against malaria.

Now it just causes suffering in our community.

I'm sick and tired of standing by watching when I know that I can do

How would it work?

We'll do it before you get any weaker in my clinic tonight.

Dr. Watson asked me to tell you that he's transferring the current patient to

another department.

Is she stable?

Dr. Watson says her hematologist can take it from here. He instructs you to

round on your other patients, look through the referrals for other cases of

interest.

That sounds like something a normal doctor would say. It does not sound like

something Watson would say.

What are you suggesting?

I'm not sure.

Maybe nothing.

So I am taking a chip next week.

It's October already.

Snuck up on me.

Five years sober as major.

I'd love it if you'd come.

For any woman you're seeing, if you like.

I'd love to meet her.

Wait.

Five years?

You started rehab sophomore year of college.

Never relapsed.

Lasted about a month.

Come next week.

You can hear all about it.

It'll have to be late.

Once everyone goes home for the night, we can get started.

That's the blood sample we took when you were admitted.

My colleague, Hobie, has been editing your blood according to my instructions.

And here are the results.

Why are those ones glowing?

Firefly luciferous reporter for studying gene regulation.

That's how we know the edit was successful.

Don't worry, you won't glow. Oh, but if you wanted to, this is what it looks

like. Hobie.

Those cells mean it's working?

So far, so good, yes.

You have a mole on your shin.

I'm going to use a tool called an intraocular drill to drill into it.

Now, if anyone asks, I was concerned about the mole, so I removed it as a

precaution.

You're going to cure my sickle cell and cover it up as a mole removal?

That was my idea, the mole bit there.

The anesthetic that I applied earlier already has your shin numb. The benzos

will keep you relaxed while I drill.

This works your treats.

Or you can squeeze my hand.

Good ball.

Thank you.

So once we've made the hole, we'll infuse an IV full of edited blood into

bone. Over time, the healthy cells will replicate and replace the diseased ones.

And that's it?

No more bullying?

That's what.

I expect.

That's what I believe. But it is new science.

We both have a lot on the line here, Taryn.

But it is your body.

You want it back out. Now is the time.

Care me.

That's it?

Yes, for tonight.

But if you are ever interested in a different kind of glow -up, you know who

call.

So we'll monitor you over the next couple of days, but remember, even if

feel better, you're going to have to still say that the pain comes and goes.

Karen?

Sorry, yeah.

Of course.

I can't believe that's all it took.

Thank you.

You need to sign for the mole removal.

Stop.

Are you by chance the man with the glowing chest?

You have a birthmark on your collarbone.

It's shaped a little bit like the country of Luxembourg and extends above

hem of your shirt.

Jim, will you take Miss Quentin to her room, please, while I talk?

To my colleagues.

Bobby, thanks for everything.

Yeah. Good seeing you again.

Good deduction with the birthmark.

Sometimes I forget how well you all are coming along.

Something you want to talk about?

Fringe scientist.

Patient in need of a fringe cure. We were just curious.

What happened in there?

Did you commit a crime?

You're not saying anything.

You don't want me to say anything.

Whatever I might have done tonight doesn't affect any of you unless and

you know about it.

And if something happened, there's a duty to report.

And see, that's when things get complicated. So my question to you is,

you asking questions?

I'm good.

Ignorance is bliss. No.

I personally spent a decade studying so I can get into Hopkins for med school.

As some of you may have noticed, I wrecked my social learning curve in the

of it and may have condemned myself to a life of solitude and broken

relationships.

After all that, I chose you.

I chose this place as the staging ground for my career. I deserved... We all

deserve to know if that was a stupid choice.

Taryn Quinton is going to be fine.

She's going to live a long and healthy life all because of what I did tonight.

The procedure is called base repair editing.

I think it's grotesque that a young woman should be condemned to die at a

age waiting for an easily obtainable cure.

And that's why I did it.

Now, if I've hired the people I believed I was hiring, I think you'll all see

that.

If not...

I feel content that I did the right thing for my patient.

You all have a decision to make.

I will leave you to it.

We shouldn't be in this position.

We wouldn't be in this position if you didn't bring us all down here. We are a

team!

It's called camaraderie.

Are we just supposed to risk our careers for Watson's act of humor? Your career

is only at risk if you're tied to it.

You weren't before, but you are now.

We're assuming there's going to be a catastrophe, but what if Taryn just gets

better?

You're going along with this.

Watson may be reckless, but he's also a genius.

Why don't we just see what happens?

Watson said it himself.

We have a duty to report. True.

But the only people who know that we know what we know are Watson and us.

Even if this blows up, as long as the four of us don't say anything, we're

protected.

Don't look so surprised.

Sasha's ruthless.

You're the only one who hasn't said anything.

We have the knowledge to cure Taryn Quinton, and yet...

We refuse to do it.

What else is there to say?

The young lady's

blood cells are drawn after the procedure.

I'm no scientist, so I'll leave the thinking to you.

You look very good.

Thank you.

I haven't seen you before. Are you one of Taryn's doctors?

I'm the medical director here, Mary Morstan.

I'm just checking up on her.

With George Carver?

Yes, middle initial W.

Yes, my parents named me after the person who came out with 300 ways to use

peanut. I'm Taryn's... We used to be together.

We were a good team.

The illustrator and the STEM girl.

Screwed up there.

So, how is she doing this morning?

She's been asleep since I got here.

Is she going to be okay?

Her vitals have been improving the past few days.

We're committed to helping her get... George.

Hey, Taryn.

How are you feeling this morning?

Not too bad.

Maybe a little better.

Well, your vitals look good, Taryn.

It's part of an encouraging trend.

You should be going home soon.

Looking at your chart, these look like typical treatments.

Did Dr. Watson try anything new?

Just the usual.

The bully has a mind of its own. If I get a good window, I don't ask too many

questions.

Well, I'll leave you two alone.

You had a mole removal last week?

Did Dr. Watson say why he'd do that in the middle of a sickle cell crisis?

He was concerned about it.

I'm not sure.

Dr. Morstan, maybe he just wanted to do something.

How many mole removals have you done this year?

I'm not sure.

One. You've done one, and you did it last week while your patient was in the

middle of a sickle cell crisis. Last year, none. The year before that, also

none. So what are we talking, moles?

Taryn is going home today. That's great.

That's not great?

It's great if it happened in the normal course of business.

Okay, I'm a little confused.

You come to me to stabilize a patient in the middle of a crisis.

Taryn Quinton is stable, so what are we talking about? We're talking about a

procedure scheduled for no apparent reason.

I was concerned about the shape and the spread of her mole. We're talking about

a doctor with a huge ego and a TBI that could be compromising his executive

function. Okay, I'm sorry. Whenever a patient needs special attention, I am

first one you come to see.

When that patient improves and suddenly is suspicious.

Is there anything you want to tell me, John?

Yes.

I'm glad Taryn is feeling better.

What's this for again?

I gave a sample this morning.

Just some extra tests.

We'll have you out of here in no time, Taryn.

Here you go, Dr. Marston.

Anything else you need?

I've got it from here. Thanks.

I understand one of the biggest challenges facing young companies is

retention. You won't have that issue with me. I want to stay in one place and

grow.

Your credentials are impeccable.

Magna cum laude graduate of CMU. Thank you. Fake hiring manager.

I do see that you've had some short stints at a few companies.

Care to comment on that?

I had some health issues.

That's all in the past, though.

Well, I mean, you've handled yourself impeccably in this fake practice job

interview.

Uh... Should we have sex?

That's not how fake practice job interviews end.

Not usually.

Fine. Well, give me a minute to take your credences off the fake practice

letter.

But in the meantime, here are my initial thoughts.

Thank you, fake hiring manager. Now we can have sex.

This is my office, ma 'am.

You okay?

Baby.

How bad is it? One to ten.

That's not it. This is different.

My chest.

Dr. Watson.

Patient has tachycardic hypotensive.

Starting the refuge at five mics per minute.

Looks like she threw a pulmonary embolism. We need to confirm with the

Paid vascular surgery. She needs to get to the OR for an embolectomy.

There's another way to treat her.

She needs surgery.

Anti -clotting medication.

It'll also leave less of a trail.

In case anyone's wondering what caused the pulmonary embolism, you'll be

covered. The base repair procedure is not responsible for this.

It isn't.

And I'm not thinking about covering my tracks.

We have to figure out what caused this.

First things first.

You say the base repair editing didn't cause Terrence's pulmonary embolism, but

what if you're wrong? I'm not wrong.

Stop cutting me off.

We can't have a differential while ignoring obvious potential explanations.

The hole you drilled in her shin, if it dislodged fat cells from her bone marrow

into the bloodstream, it could have caused... I believe the hole was clean.

It's still an experimental procedure.

If I cause this, there's nothing we can do about it now.

I'll own it, I'll admit to it, and it won't touch any of you. But for five

minutes, can you join me in the world where we help our patient?

She's been bedridden from sickle cell.

Immobilization can trigger a P .E.

It may be, but Taryn's been bedridden before.

They're closing the patient's table.

Taryn has a copper IUD.

A copper IUD can cause a pulmonary embolism. Yeah, that's true.

But it might cause us to overlook something that could.

You ruthless bitch.

I don't like it when you call me that.

Oh, no.

I kind of love it, if I'm being honest.

The chairman told me you wrote a referral for Gigi Gregorian.

She got in.

I can't believe you did that for me.

I saw how much you were struggling, and I just... Well, you left a file out on

your desk in a referral form, and it was just right there.

And honestly, it was painful watching you flunk so hard.

So you took over Queen of the Girl Projects.

I should have known.

A -plus.

See? Catch more flies with honey.

Try you catch more flies by being an over -cheating, ruthless bitch.

Thanks, Sasha.

Um,

I assume you didn't mention me?

In my referral?

Course not.

In case the chairman does have something against you, now he'll never know that

you're the one who wanted her in.

Perfect.

How long have you been standing there?

A little while.

I drew three vials of blood from Taryn Quinton when she was here.

I haven't sent it to the lab yet, but when I do, I suspect that I will see

and fewer sickle cells with each sample.

If I see that, I'll start asking questions about that mole removal.

You know I'll get to the truth.

What do you think the truth is?

Did you go around the FDA?

Did you do a procedure that gave Taryn Quinton a life -threatening embolism?

You sent me a dying patient.

She might not have given up this year or maybe even next year, but Taryn Quinton

was dying.

We can fix the problem. A cure exists, but instead of giving it to her, it's

sitting on some shelf that she can't reach.

A shelf that no one from Staten Heights or Homewood or Wilkinsburg or anywhere

can reach. I don't need a speech, John. I just need the truth.

Well, the truth is that there's a perfectly logical explanation for

pulmonary embolism.

It has nothing to do with any type of secret procedures or anything else like

that.

How did we miss this?

Well, I can tell you all about that.

But first, you have a decision to make.

I can tell the truth to you or anyone else will ask.

Or you can deliver those test results to your thriving patient.

You don't get to five years by gritting your teeth and going it alone.

You don't get to six months that way.

Or 90 days or 30 days.

We do this together.

We are like the passengers of a great liner, the moment after rescue from

shipwreck, when camaraderie, joyousness, and democracy pervade the vessel from

steerage to captain's table.

Dinner's ready.

Ten minutes.

Ingrid, come on.

It's Mom's birthday.

Mal has been gone 20 years. I'm sure she won't mind if we eat a little late.

Fine.

Let me just finish this laugh off.

This can't be right. It's right, Taryn. We double -checked. You're pregnant.

But I have an IUD.

That's why we didn't think to test you earlier.

IUDs have a 1 % failure rate.

You got, I want to say lucky, but I'll follow your lead.

This is why I had the embolism?

Seems so.

It happens.

Pregnancy is a hypercoagulable state.

Are you okay?

I'm so much better than okay.

My body, it is so beat up.

I got an IUD because I gave up hope a long time ago.

I need to call George.

Can I, should I?

Can I have this baby? You're okay.

Now, if you would have gotten the existing cure, the stem cell ablation

sterilized you forever.

Now, however it happened, you're feeling better.

You have every reason to be hopeful, Taryn.

Tell your boyfriend you're going to have a baby.

Congratulations.

Thank you, Dr. Moreton.

Thank you.
