This is one of the worst fractures I've ever seen. This patient should be in

surgery. Exactly. She's got a type 3 supracondylar fracture of the humerus.

she's a child. You can't operate on a minor without parental consent.

Every minute we delay, we're risking compartment syndrome, permanent nerve

damage. If you take this kid to the OR, Dr. Norton, we might as well write the

settlement check now.

Okay, so where are the parents? Maine.

She says they're in Maine. A kid from Maine is in Pittsburgh without any

parents. What is going on?

Guys? What am I missing here? The patient says she's not a minor. She says

30. It doesn't matter what she says. We all have eyes.

Maybe you should hear this from her.

Just, you know, brace yourself.

It might get spicy.

Who's up for you?

Good question, really.

Why do I even want to be back at the clinic?

I've got talents. I've got skills. I could take them.

Anywhere. Well, today is your first day back.

Why did you fight so hard for this job?

I mean, they see the best patients.

They do the best work. I'd work there if I was a doctor, not a consultant.

Okay, thank you, Glenn. But I would like to hear from Ingrid.

Glenn went in as right.

Kind of.

There isn't a better fellowship in the country.

I mean...

The work they do at the home clinic, the work we do, it's right at the edge of

what people know. It's at the edge of everything.

Welcome to group, Mr. Wise. We start on time.

Sorry, I had a call.

I'm sorry. Hey,

everyone. I'm back, wife.

Like life, with a W.

Please, go on.

I'm interested.

You said Len was kind of right.

What is he missing?

I don't know.

It's my place.

I hate how that sounds.

But it is.

It's my place.

Five sociopaths walk into a room. They all sit in a circle and share their

feelings. Is that up to a joke?

It's the pain, right?

It's a setup to a horror movie.

You don't gather cluster B deviants in a cluster. That's how they ask plans. We

all agree to this. We have to make it work with Ingrid. I know. It's just this

whole therapy thing. It's not helping me feel better. They say it takes time.

Morning, everyone.

Therapy. They say it takes time. Usually the people around you notice the

difference before you do.

What are you guys talking about? You or talking about you?

But you probably knew that already.

Appreciate the honesty.

Honesty leads to cake.

Burnt almond torte. Prantles. Best cake I ever had.

Oh, you remembered.

I remember everything.

Like, for example, you never had pea plants before.

Watson inoculated the roots with rhizobia bacteria.

He's trying to create a self -fertilizing ecosystem.

If he's successful, basically... He did disrupt the fertilizer companies right

out of the market.

Cool.

Where is Watson, anyway?

Sorry to disturb, Dove.

The fellows, all four of the fellows, were wondering if you were going to join

them for today's remote consults.

Sorry, I, uh, get in early today.

It's early now, Dr. Watson.

Yeah, no, I mean, like, really early.

Layla, wondering where I've been this morning.

Mary.

The Pittsburgh mystery.

Where's that come from?

Uh, that's nothing.

That's nothing.

Not sure what I was doing there.

Morning, Ingrid.

Welcome back. Nice to be here. I have to get to the ER. Someone run the remote

without me. I'll review the notes.

Someone? Who?

Let's go with... Adam.

Your faith means the world to me.

Sincerely.

Okay. Remote console. Let's get it.

The patient's of indeterminate age. She got T -bone in her Mustang.

Indeterminate age? Can't she just tell you how old she is? The patient says

she's 30.

There's some question if that's accurate.

What about ID?

The EMTs put her in the ambulance before she could grab it.

We're trying to figure out which impound lot the car got towed to.

I need to operate on her, but I need to know how old she is first.

I don't understand. Even if you're off, say, what, a couple years, what's the

issue?

I get that a lot.

I'm Dr. John Watson. Your name? Max.

I go by Max and yes.

Before you ask, I am 30.

I'm really 30.

Well, you must have a hard time getting people to believe that, Max.

I thought you said this guy was a genius.

Of course I have a hard time.

Look at me.

If you're just going to let me suffer, I'll take my business down the street.

No, no, that's okay. Um, I have an idea.

Can you open up your mouth as wide as you can for me?

I want to believe you, Max. I really do. But let me just have a quick peek.

Okay. Like that.

Coffee stains, moderate attrition on the surfaces.

Her teeth.

I should have thought of that.

Well, I can't lie, Max. You look like a ten -year -old, but...

Inside your mouth, I see fully erupted third bones. Your teeth have been here

for decades.

I'll get her prepped for surgery.

I believe you, Mac.

You are 30.

No.

So I'm not trying to be a Karen, but how soon can you get me out of here?

Well, it's a serious orthopedic procedure.

Dr. Morrison, she's one of the best surgeons in the country, but given your

condition, it's hard to predict the recovery time.

Max, if you don't mind me asking, when did you first realize that your body

wasn't aging typically?

I do mind you asking.

I have a broken arm. I'm not trying to do therapy here. No, neither am I. I

seen most of what the world has to offer.

Someone like you.

I'd like to help.

Help how?

You can put me in a machine that changes me into a normal animal.

I wish I could.

I really do.

But the truth is, I have no idea what type of interventions are possible.

You didn't bully me.

I like that.

Look, if it'll get me out of here faster, I'll give you the 30 -second

If you want to take samples or whatever while I'm under, how about it?

But that's it.

Seriously, I don't want to live under a microscope.

I'd love to hear your story.

I was always small.

When I was 10, everything stopped.

They gave me growth hormones.

My ankles swelled up bigger than Grammy's.

What'd your doctors do next?

They tried to send me to U -Hop.

The Mayo Clinic.

Someplace with fancy doctors.

My mom works at that L .E. counter.

Those clinics might as well have been the moon.

I'll be good now.

I have to get to Crater Lake.

Good.

Oregon, though, huh?

That's where you're headed?

Only vacation my mom ever took.

She said the lake is this kind of beautiful blue that you can't see

else. I've been there.

There are no rivers or streams feeding into the lake. All just rain and snow.

The purest colors in the world.

But I hear you can't swim there anymore because they're worried about the water

changing.

Everything changes, Dr. Watson.

Except me.

Patient is 30.

Patient looks 10.

No one in her world has bothered to find out why.

Max didn't respond to growth hormones. She lives in a world where no one would

see her for who she really is.

Think about the way that this woman lives.

Woman. She subsists on costs in her job. She lives at home because no landlords

take her seriously.

Max will never experience the moments that we all take for granted.

Did you take a basic history?

Very basic. Okay, well, let's take a detailed one.

She's our patient, right?

Watson? She is our patient.

Well, I'm in process on that issue.

Look, Max's history is not an issue right now. She's headed for surgery.

I have never seen anything like this before. Ever.

I'm not even sure there's a name for what this woman has.

Woman? You keep saying that. That's the right word, but we're all looking at the

same picture.

Takes some getting used to as well. Max Bowers is significant.

And we will help her.

Now, for whatever reason, Max's chart isn't connected to our system.

So... Stevens and Ingrid.

Call around Maine.

Dig up every record that you can find. Adam and Sasha, make the rounds of the

impound lots.

Max was driving a 66 Mustang Coupe. Dang.

If I find it, can I drive it? We're not joyriding. We are looking for clues.

Her stuff may be a journal, anything that can shed some light on where she

from.

Meanwhile, I'm going to keep my eye on Max's operation.

We'll connect after that.

It's good to see you all in one room.

Happy hunting.

Someone in Schuldiner General in Bangkok told me Max Bauer saw a Dr. Everett at

your clinic.

Of course, you don't have a record of a Dr. Everett. Okay, let's go by patient

name. Has Maxine Bauer had treatment there?

Okay. If anything turns up, please call me back. My name is Dr. Ingrid Darien.

Remind me never to get sick at Caleb's Gourmet.

Closest population center. Two hours away.

You can't open a hospital anywhere close. Numbers don't work.

Max saw doctors in pop -up tents.

Probably never saw the same person twice.

The medical desert.

They're all over the place.

If you ever need help in one, well, you're relying on the kindness of

Max can tell you how that works out.

Should we just have it out?

We have unresolved issues.

I mean, Watson thinks so anyway. That's why he put us together.

I'm not your problem here.

You're not mad.

No.

I've seen you get mad at hospice volunteers. I saw you get mad at a

once.

But you're not mad at me.

You've had some time with the whole thing.

You can more or less wrap my head around what you did.

And I'm working on all that, by the way, the irritation, everything else.

You're getting laid.

I think I'm happy for you, but that's not the same thing as working on it.

Why did you fight so hard to come back here, anyway?

This is a good place.

I mean, it's good overall, and it's, you know, good for people like us.

People like us?

You mean people with a diagnosis.

I don't have a diagnosis.

Of course not.

Sorry.

If you're not my problem here, who is?

I'm ready, Dr. Houston.

Thank you, Petra.

Hard to believe she really heard me.

Something wrong, Doctor?

I'm not annoyed, Andre, but you could get me there if you keep asking me that.

Okay, I'm sorry.

We'll figure it out, okay?

I get you have to do this.

Dr. Bynum.

I'm glad I caught you. I'm glad to be caught, Dr. Watson.

I'm sorry about this morning. I couldn't sleep last night. I got caught up

thinking about some stuff.

Anything fun?

Too soon to tell.

Not a big deal. Maybe a note next time. I don't like waking up alone.

We have our, you know, morning appointments. Yes, we do. Yes, we do.

seeing you this weekend, right? I can make it up to you.

Actually, I have Micah now. His dad got called to Morgantown. Some kind of

liquidity crisis for one of his clients.

We promised the kid Kenny Wood for good grades.

I'm on the hook now. Oh, cool. I can go with you.

I haven't ridden Thunderbolt in years.

You good?

John, you haven't met my son.

Yeah, no, I know. I'm sorry, this is the emergency phone.

Everything okay?

So can I borrow you for a few minutes? I need your professional opinion.

Once I reduced her arm, I found multiple enlarged lymph nodes in her left arm

and neck. I felt that before.

It's always been one thing.

concerning for lymphoma i'm not arguing with that and of course i'm happy to

weigh in but i am a pediatric oncologist and this woman's 30 years old well max

bowers is kind of 30 but she's kind of something else i don't understand we

in a field of flowers you know about the lymphoma you know you might have cancer

might try do why didn't you tell us i just need you to fix my arm miss bowers

Max, you've had a low -grade fever since you got to U -Hop. It could be a sign

of... It could be a sign things are advancing.

Isn't that what things do?

Advance? Most things, anyway.

I don't want any pills, I don't want any scans, and I don't want any radiation.

Max, most lymphoma is highly treatable. Sounds great for someone who wants

treatment. You guys really can't read a room, can you?

Speaking of which, look at the vibes with you three.

Am I the only one here or was it everyone else?

Mind your business, Max. Tell you what, you mind your business and I'll extend a

favor right back.

I'm 30.

I'm not getting any younger.

But I'm not getting any older either.

I'll never have a boyfriend or a husband or a daughter or a real job or a ticket

to an R -rated movie.

If there is cancer inside of me, it can't do its job fast enough.

I'm going to go to Crater Lake.

I'm going to swim in the blue water, just like my mom did.

And then I'm ready for what comes after.

I need more pain meds.

Dr. Morstan to authorize a dose.

To keep you comfortable.

And then what, are you going to handcuff me to the bed?

Of course not, Max.

Oh, I know.

Call CPS.

Tell them there's a ten -year -old with no parents that you are.

Well, you're an adult.

Well, I don't agree with what you're doing.

I respect your autonomy.

You don't make it easy to hate you.

I hate that.

So what do you got, Dr. Watson?

You're going to originate a bag of tricks.

Give old Max a reason to keep going?

I'd be reason to live everywhere I look, Max.

Listen, you're one of the good ones.

But tomorrow, if I can move without screaming,

I'm leaving.

Thank you all for coming back.

Tonight, we have two problems, and we have to solve one or both of those

problems by the time Max Bowers wakes up.

Problem one, the patient could be dying.

Problem two, the patient doesn't want to live.

But don't they cancel each other out? You could say we have zero problems.

We have two problems, two teams.

Our first issue is for team How to Stay Alive.

Problem two...

There's a job for team, why stay alive at all?

Ingrid and Sasha.

You two are team, how to stay alive.

Shouldn't Sasha be on team Ye Life?

Too obvious.

Get us data.

Find anyone who'll pick up a phone in Maine and build the timeline to Max's

conditions. Congratulations, Cross.

You two get to discover the meaning of life.

Sure you're comfortable having Stevens on this issue? I like life.

I tolerate life.

We have an understanding.

Don't despair.

Shinwo will be with you in spirit.

He's going to be sitting with Max while I sequence her genome in a lab.

But just watch it, the young lady.

Pretty much, yeah.

And if she wakes up, then, you know, you have to give her hope.

So? Max Bowers has lymphoma. It's going to be a fight.

She has to see that there's something worthwhile on the other side of that.

What does our patient need?

Companionship. We have to promise Max that we'll find others like her.

Watson, we don't even know if someone else like Max exists.

There are 8 billion of us on this planet. We live in the richest country

Earth, and yet Max has slipped through the cracks?

Well, I believe there are others.

There's a big difference between promise and belief, Guff.

You could call that a lie.

It's a bet.

And we have to make her to Max to just check out of here in the morning.

Though who knows?

She may not even make it to Oregon.

Sorry to wake you, Dr. Patel.

I got your name from the margins of a medical record.

Did you happen to see a patient named Max Bowers while you were volunteering

a pop -up clinic in rural Maine?

You've never been to Maine.

Wrong, Dr. Patel.

No, sorry.

Enjoy your sleep.

Are you really trying to change?

I go to group therapy two times a week.

I sit in a circle with a revolving group of American psychoproxies.

A month ago, the woman sitting next to me got arrested in the middle of a

session.

I just say things about myself.

It's excruciating.

I won't.

Say something.

If I want people to think I was different, that all sounds like a good

it.

If everything I do is some mastermind chess gambit, if I'm just faking it no

matter what, then I can't win.

Can I?

I'm not. evil. I didn't betray you. You betrayed the team.

You should have said something.

We could have helped you. I was being blackmailed.

Some guy in a polo shirt who turned out to be no less than James Moriarty had

information that could send me to prison for life.

He asked me to pour some powder into a jar.

I had no idea that would hurt Stevens.

When I found out, I did what I had to do.

And then I got fired, and the rest of you turned your backs on me.

Everyone, but especially you.

Especially me.

I miss you.

You're gone from my life.

You're banging Stephen's cross. I don't even get to hear how that's going.

I don't have a lot of friends.

I don't have any friends.

So maybe I'm always planning nine moves ahead, or maybe I just miss you.

Cheers, Louise.

You don't look like a doctor.

I'm not.

I'm a nursing student.

Shinwell Johnson.

Best perhaps if you regard me as the ambassador of kindness for the Holmes

Clinic. You don't look kind.

And you don't look 30, love.

Isn't the world full of whimsy and surprise?

I bring a message from Dr. Watson, who wishes you to remain here at U -Hop

as our guest.

We've been over this. All right, you haven't heard this bit yet. Listen.

All right, sorry.

Dr. Watson has analysed your genome.

There's no better set of eyes out there.

He's even reached out to a whole bevy of colleagues.

This syndrome that affects you hasn't even been named yet, but it

ain't unique, neither.

You're not alone in this world, Miss Max.

Stop it. Don't say that.

Hang on, hang on. Hey, hey, hey, look.

There are other people just like you out there somewhere.

That is a promise from Dr. Watson.

Thing is, if you leave this morning, he can't help you.

You'll never...

Forget to meet them.

Hey. Hey.

All -nighter? You need an infusion of caffeine and carb -laden pastries. I'll

have this one by me in about an hour. Thank you. Yeah. You getting anywhere?

What? I've called in favors on three continents, and, um, I don't know,

something will shake loose.

Okay.

Okay, um, Layla.

About Micah, I, um, I get it.

I do. It's a big deal.

You know, introducing a man to your son, and for me, I just... I shouldn't have

thrown it out there so casually.

Thanks.

Felt kind of weird.

I can't lie.

You good? I mean, these last few days, I don't know.

You're gone in the morning, and you're not always there when we talk.

Did something change with you?

No, no, no, just I'm good.

No, seriously, I'm good. It's old habits, I guess.

I promise that I'll do better.

You're doing fine.

You're doing great, actually.

You hear?

Oh, uh, sorry to interrupt.

Oh, you two looking for a hairbrush?

We stayed up all night for you, and we found Dr. Patel. That might not sound

like much of an accomplishment, but there are a lot of Dr. Patels. The Dr.

who we just talked to, he treated Max at a pop -up clinic eight months ago. She

was complaining of fever and fatigue all the way back then. We ran down an ER

visit from four months ago, same symptoms. Fever for eight months, that's

consistent with lymphoma. That's why we're here instead of looking for a

hairbrush. Max never had a biopsy. And if she did, based on what we're

It can come back negative.

She doesn't have cancer.

This is something else.

You're not with Max?

Young lady asked for three shots of espresso, piping hot. Everything okay?

Better than okay. She doesn't have cancer.

So we have to... Where's Max?

Where's she?

Shinwell. You are kind.

You're also full of it.

Just me, eight billion people, and me.

Tell Dr. Watson to take care.

She's gone, guv.

Max is gone.

Where's Watson?

With Shinwell, outside looking for Max.

Did he say what he wanted from us?

Let's assume security's on top of the search at U -Haul.

We've got two problems here.

We had two problems last night.

Now our patient's back.

I'm getting three, but feel free to check my math.

I get three, too.

No notes.

Wait, I have one note. Maris Bowers was never officially our patient.

Wait, I have a note and a question. Are you pretending to be Watson right now?

Because you are definitely not ignorant.

Watson's not here. I'm trying to help.

That's the not Ingrid part.

Problem one.

If Max doesn't have lymphoma, what's wrong with her?

Problem two.

Where is she? On the way to Crater Lake.

That's 2 ,500 miles away.

Max's car is impounded. The frame's bent to hell. She has no ID, no money.

She's also not our patient.

She checked out against medical advice.

She doesn't want any help.

Sorry. I was doing Ingrid.

The real Ingrid.

Woman's been an outcast her whole life.

No one sees her for who she really is.

And the second they do, they recoil and walk away.

Medicine has failed Max Bowers over and over again.

If we were in her shoes, anyone in this room, including me, would have quit a

long time ago.

Max is tired, but there's fight there.

And we have to help her find it.

Okay, that was like...

Watson, that was your own spin.

That was good.

I was headed to the lab.

We got samples from Max when she was under.

Figured I'd dig into a diagnosis.

Hello?

Cross.

Here in the search party.

Where would you go if you were Max?

On it, ma 'am.

Sir.

Whoever you are.

Max is anemic.

I can tell just by eyeballing it. Two fever at blood cells and insanely low

platelets. She made two complaints about hand pain and stiffness five months

apart.

Fever's been consistent for nearly a year now.

Max tells every doctor she sees about how fatigued she is.

We should send an A &A. To complement C3 and C4, not to mention inflammatory

markers and a urinalysis.

Max has lupus.

I'm concerned for it.

We'll see what the deaths say. Don't give me that bless your heart concern

thing. You just diagnosed the patient with the great imitator.

Rufus, bitch.

It's great, by the way, being with Stevens.

Generally, great, because that's not what I asked. I know what you asked.

It's great.

And like a whole other Stevens, the man has appetites.

Really? He has a Viking hiding in there, an especially open -minded Viking.

And he's naturally blessed, if you follow.

Really?

They should make a mold.

It would sell.

That means Adam is blessed.

I guess it does, genetically speaking.

I should learn not to ask so many questions.

It's going to be for a suspect in a 10 -16.

Suspect owns firearms.

Look for him to respond with caution.

No sign of Max?

Oh, I can wait outside.

You want to?

Something you haven't seen a thousand times before?

I didn't keep count.

Nice outfit.

Party on the top, business on the bottom.

You stayed up all night, huh?

It's almost 8 p .m., John. You should go home. I got you.

And I'm just keeping it here off of Max.

I heard.

You think you're the only one who can download a police scanner app?

I got eight hours of sleep last night. I'll call you if I hear anything.

Max is my patient, too, you know.

You're right.

I got you. Go sleep.

You're right.

We need child protective services on site.

Copy, 412.

Why child protective services?

From what I'm hearing, a 10 -year -old tried to steal a car.

Sir, now you're going to have to turn around and go back to where you came

Officer, my name is Dr.

John Watson.

That woman you arrested?

Woman. Well, it's complicated Max is older than she looks.

I've done some work with a homicide detective at a station in Oakland.

Well, Straub, my condolences.

Listen, I'm sorry. With you, I'd like to talk to the patient.

You know, honestly, I'm glad you're here. The kid's kind of freaking out.

Hey, let him through.

Let him through.

He's over here.

Mac.

Mac, that's the news.

Mac, that's the news.

You don't have cancer.

I believe you have lupus.

Mac, this is good.

I... I can't get Aaron.

Anita!

I got you, Max.

I got you.

Wait, stop.

I don't want to go to the hospital.

Stop. I don't want to go to the hospital.

I don't want to go to the hospital.

Hey, Max, you can go anywhere you want once you're back on your feet, okay? No!

Stop! I'm an adult.

I'm 30.

I do not want...

Give me five minutes with the patient, please.

Give me five minutes!

Okay, five.

All right, come on, guys. Let's back it up.

It's fine.

This is good.

Sooner than I expected, but I like this spot.

The lights are pretty.

I'm good.

No, no, you don't have to die tonight, Max.

If you let us help you, we can ease your breathing and get your lupus under

control. So I can go on living?

My mom's gone, Watson.

She collapsed in the middle of the shift.

I'm sorry to hear that, Max.

She left me $7 ,100.

That and her ashes are in the back of my Mustang.

I'm alone.

No, we don't know if that's true. Stop lying!

I didn't lie. I made a bet.

When we found out you had cancer, I was so caught up into your symptoms, I

barely had time to analyze your genome.

Well, I did that today.

All day I did that.

I believe you have a mutation to your KISS1R gene. And if I'm right, that

a form of hypogonadism like I've never even seen before.

We know what to look for now, Mac.

I can tell every geneticist in the world what to look for, too, and that's one

gene. You just have to focus on one gene.

Now, I can't promise you that there's someone else.

I can't.

And even if there is, it would take months to find that person, even years.

But I can promise you this, Max.

If you refuse treatment, if you just... If you want to die tonight,

you'll never get to find out.

So make the bed, Max.

Let's do it together.

Oh, thank God.

Patient complains of shortness of breath, a factor in the 80s.

Breathing sounds diminished on the right, likely due to pleural diffusion.

Nurse Ray, I need the portable ultrasound and a thoracic anesthesia

Yes, Dr. Mason.

Try to shorten the breathing. Try to shorten the breathing.

Come back to your fluid in your lung. I need you to lean forward as far as you

can, okay?

I'll just found Dr. Marston.

Go away.

I want to be alone with my doctor.

Doctors.

Visualizing her lungs now.

There's a significant effusion near the right lower lobe. Understood.

Like I said, I got you back.

I got you, okay?

I thought that... You know why I swear so much, Dr. Watson?

It's how you get people to see you for who you really are.

Smart guy.

I'll go on and do it then.

I saved my life.

Just heard from Watson.

Max is responding to the steroids.

In a few days, we can discharge her without sending in the cavalry.

That's great.

I'm glad.

We did well here.

Feels good to be back.

Night.

What's my diagnosis?

I shouldn't have said it. It just slipped out.

You think there's something there?

It's none of my business.

I have some on.

mixed feelings towards you, some pretty well -earned mixed feelings.

But you're the smartest doctor here.

John Watson works at this clinic.

I know he does.

What is it? What do you see?

Have you never been diagnosed with depression?

Depression, that's it.

No, don't do that. Don't dismiss it.

Stevens, the irritability, the black moods, the voice in your head that tears

you down all day long. You don't know what's inside my head.

Am I wrong?

Look, major depressive disorder.

Is it the end of the world?

Of course not.

But is it a burden pretty much every second of every single day?

Yeah.

Look, I'm just one doctor, but since you asked, you have a diagnosis.

People like us.

Maybe we can get better.

Maybe we can't.

I don't know.

Ask me in a year.

Beck, right?

Hey, Ingrid.

What's up?

I came to check out the clinic where you work.

Yeah, we don't just let people wander around in there.

Call ahead next time.

We'll still say no, but call ahead.

I opened up a startup incubator here in town.

Connect the tech kids at CMU with money people out west.

Wow, cool.

Seems like you have some interesting things going on behind those doors.

I'd like to learn more.

I met you in group therapy for sociopaths.

This is not the beginning of a business relationship.

We'll just get coffee in that case.

It's not the beginning of any kind of relationship.

Nice to see you.

Don't come back.

I'm here to soft now.

Come back again and maybe I kill you.

Wouldn't be the first time.

I want details on that.

John Watson.

Dr. Sterndale.

No, no, no, I'm good. I'm awake.

How do you think of your clinic?

I agree. Yes, Max Powers is definitely a unique patient.

Yeah, if he is.

Now, the frame is a little iffy, but the guy says it's drivable.

And that's it?

You're just going to let me drive away?

Well, your laughs are good.

Your hands feel strong?

Again, I don't recommend you driving with a cast. Again, heard.

Enjoy Crater Lake.

I don't really know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

But... If you're willing to stay around Pittsburgh just a little while longer,

there's someone who'd like to meet you.

Max?

This is Pauline Batiste.

She came all the way from Sioux Falls, South Dakota to meet you.

Why?

I have a mutation on my... What's it called again?

Your kiss went RG.

How old are you?

41.

I just turned 41.

Pauline, we have so much to talk about.

We have everything to talk about.

Will you wait for just one second?

I will wait forever if I have to.

You kept your promise.

It was a bet.

We made it together.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I don't say this to every patient, but you know what, Max?

You're welcome.

You're welcome.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.
