Okay. So, just remember, poker face.
You have none.

T-That's not true.

You know how you love
that I can read your mind? I can't.

I'm just looking at your head.
It communicates everything.

Sometimes there's a smile,
sometimes there's steam coming off it.

- Like now?
- Like now, yes.

But if it weren't for me, we'd be in

escrow in half of Los Angeles County.

So, what's our plan?

Money's tight, mortgage rates are high,
we have a wedding to pay for.

We're an adorable young couple
panhandling our way to homeownership,

not a penny over ask.

- Whatever you do, whatever he says...
- We hate this house. Got it.

God, I love you.

Are you two excited
to see your dream home?

- Yeah.
- [CHUCKLES]

[SCREAMS, CHUCKLES]
Oh, my gosh, I love it so much!

I mean, it's admittedly
a bit of a fixer-upper, but for the price,

a coat of paint and some tile,
this place easily sells for double.

Previous owner have to leave in a hurry?

Only in the sense that he died quickly.

The family just wants
to unload the estate.

It has so much character.

We're getting married soon
and I wanna have the wedding at home.

Oh, how romantic.

- I survived a plane crash last year.
- How heroic.

Well, it didn't actually crash.

It was more of an emergency landing
on the 110 freeway.

Oh, wow. You were on that flight?
That's terrifying.

And clarifying.

Now I wanna live.
Really live, you know? No regrets.

A life I love with the man I love
in a place like this.

Like this. Similar to, not exactly this.

And that backyard. [GASPS]

[CLEARS THROAT] The plane crash card
really has a lot of miles on it.

I can imagine.

But a home wedding means
less money on the venue

- and more for the down payment. Exactly.
- Renovations.

It'll take a little love.

But you two obviously have
a lot of love to give.

Trust me, the place has good bones.

- My bad. Yeah.
- It's fine. No.

More like osteoporosis.

Babe, would you please try
and have a little vision?

Even at ask, this is two dead grandparents
and half my 401(k).

Okay, right now, sure, it's just a house.

But you and me, we can make it a home.

Our home. Together.

What do you say?

The electrical's basically
a key and a kite.

And the plumbing… [SCOFFS]
…I've seen better outhouses.

- Did you guys not get an inspection?
- Somebody waived the inspection.

I was unclear
on the definition of contingency.

You also have a list of improvements

that would make the Property Brothers wish
for separate parents.

In-ceiling audio is a must. [SCOFFS]
We're not Neanderthals.

I'm saying this doesn't get done
before the wedding.

We have flowers, and chairs,
and reams of tulle on order.

[CHUCKLES] Lady, there aren't enough tools
in the world to fix all this.

We sent out the save the dates.
The date has been saved.

At present we are more married
to the date than each other.

Please, we will do anything.

We will pay anything
to not upset her mother.

[SIGHS]

- Okay, we'll try.
- [BOTH SIGH]

We failed. I'm sorry.

I converted the Manson family murder house
into a three-story Craftsman,

but this place takes the cake.

Please, man. Please. [STUTTERS]
You can't do this to us. Our wedding!

Look, I will give you a full refund,
a box of matches, and some advice.

Use them.

All right. We got this.

And… there. Turn it on, babe.

- [GASPS] Yes!
- [CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLING] I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

With the Internet, Home Depot,

we got it all under control.

LAFD. Anybody in here?

[HOMEOWNER] Back here. Hurry!

[CHIM] Hen, Eddie, let's get in there.

[HEN] Ma'am,
we'll take it from here, okay?

- I don't have a pulse.
- Please. We're getting married.

Ma'am, why don't you walk me through
what happened over here, okay?

He was fixing the light.

He walked over to the fridge,
grabbed the handle...

- And it shocked him?
- Is that even possible?

Old house, old wires,
anything is possible.

Buck, Ravi, kill the electricity.
Harry, unplug the fridge.

- All right, everybody clear?
- You're shocking him again?

The first shock made his heart unstable.

Second one will bring it back. Trust us.

Clear.

Flynn.

[SNIFFLING, BREATHES SHAKILY]

Come on, come on.

Tia.

- [MONITOR BEEPING]
- All right, we have a sinus rhythm.

- What does that mean?
- That means he's gonna make the wedding.

- Thank you.
- What happened?

He'll be in the hospital
for a couple of days.

In the meantime, you should sort out
the cause of that short.

- Got it right here, Cap.
- [RAVI] It's a ground wire.

Found it underneath a tiny pile
of medium-rare squirrels.

Your home renovation has
an adorable body count.

- Ground wire? What's that?
- [CHIM] It's a safety feature.

It limits the distribution of current

so the stove doesn't cook you back.

My advice, get a real electrician in here.

It'd be easier to get an exorcist.

We've been blackballed
from Angie's List.

We won't make that kind
of mistake again. I promise.

[MAY] I graduate in the spring
with a bachelor's in communications

and minor in law and social justice.

I'm vice president
of the Human Rights Student group

as well as the philanthropy chairperson
at my sorority,

all while maintaining a 3.92 GPA.

[ATHENA] Impressive.

I see from your résumé here

that you spent 18 months working
as a 911 dispatcher?

What kind of blip was that?

Learned a lot… [CHUCKLES]
…starting with how to handle pressure.

And that's something unique
I can bring to this job.

Tell me about a time when you failed.
How'd you handle that?

[SIGHS]

Mom, the point is to sell her
on my accomplishments,

not tell her all the ways that I suck.

- She's not gonna ask me that.
- Y-You don't know what she's gonna ask.

Gabby Vaughn is a tough litigator.

I'm not facing her in court.
I'm interviewing for a summer internship.

I think it's best that we focus on things
that make me look good.

You know what would make
you really look good?

- If I called Gabby...
- No, we've been over this.

If you call her,
I'm gonna look like some kind of nepo baby

with her hand out.

Honey, there is nothing wrong
with using every advantage that you have.

It feels like taking advantage.
I wanna do this on my own.

You are doing it on your own.

But I can still call
my old college friend and tell her

how foolish she would be
if she didn't hire

my brilliant, accomplished daughter.

If I get this internship,

I wanna know it was because of me
and not you.

And I've noticed that some of you are

not keeping up with
your protocol reviews.

Now I know that this is not
the most exciting ten minutes

of anyone's life,

but it does reinforce our training
and helps us stay sharp.

And it's a requirement
for our accreditation.

So just, um, do it, please.

Uh, in other news,
the rest room in the west hallway

will be out of commission
for the rest of the week.

Building maintenance apologizes
for the inconvenience,

and wish to remind everyone

that toilet paper should
be used responsibly.

We're toilet paper shaming now?
What is this, 2020 again?

- [CHUCKLING]
- [SUE] Um, lastly, uh,

the night shift said they had trouble
keeping their chickens empty.

I guess someone hasn't
had their coffee yet.

Sue, are you okay?

Yeah, the frozen umbrella said…
[MUTTERING]

Sue, can you raise your arm for me?

- Sue!
- [RESPONDERS CLAMOR]

The words she was saying? Aphasia?

She's having a stroke. Help me get

her on her side. Linda, call for help.

122 Injured and Rescue, please respond

to 861 Lightton Avenue, second floor.

- We have a 62-year-old female…
- Sue, can you hear me? It's Maddie.

[LINDA] …stroke is suspected.

- A stroke?
- [CHIM] Yeah.

- At the call center?
- At the start of her shift.

- Did they start her on TPA?
- [CHIM] Sounds like it.

Maddie and Josh are visiting her
in the hospital.

We just saw her. She and Don came over
for dinner Tuesday night.

I didn't notice anything. Did you?

Uh… No, I wouldn't have thought
anything was wrong.

Um, hey, uh, I'll be right back.
[CLEARS THROAT]

Thought you said you were gonna go
to therapy Tuesday night.

Yeah, I was gonna go.

I forgot Maddie had invited me for dinner,
so I… rescheduled.

Hmm. Rescheduled for when?

I'm going to reschedule.

You said you were gonna talk
to someone, Buck, a professional.

I know. Look, this is not my first rodeo.

You were locked up in a kid's bedroom,
role-playing with a psychopath.

[GRUNTS] For, like, a day.

I don't see why it's that big of a deal.

Then why'd you have to lie about it?

Because I'm tired of talking about someone
who doesn't deserve my time.

I can't heal if I never move on, right?

I guess.

Okay, great.

So just let me do this my way.

- [FLYNN] You're doing so good.
- You're doing so good.

- We're killing it, babe.
- We really are. [CHUCKLES]

Chugging along.

- How do I do this again?
- It's easy.

You just put the thing on the thing.

- Okay. And press the button?
- You press the button, yeah.

in the morning.

- Okay. Your 11:00 is already here.
- Oh, is it the intern candidate?

- Yeah, she's very ambitious.
- Ooh, she's early.

Mrs. Vaughn. Hi.

I'm May Grant. It's an honor to meet you.

Yeah, nice to meet you too,
but listen, I have an emergency,

- so we're gonna have to postpone, okay?
- Oh, yeah, yeah, no problem.

We can reschedule for later,
or tomorrow, or any day, really.

My schedule's open this week.

Athena Carter's kid.

- My mom called you.
- Oh, no. No, no, no, she didn't.

No, I just like to know who I'm sitting

down with before I walk in that room.

You said your schedule was open.
You up for a field trip?

- Uh, yeah, sure.
- All right.

You said it was some kind
of emergency. Is it a hearing?

Well, it's a little more informal
than that.

I understand policy
and I also understand the law.

Oh, babe, this was just a courtesy call.

You can find out what happens next

at 6:00 p.m.
on every news station in town.

[GROANS] So,

Athena Carter's kid.

Why law school?

Okay, wow. Uh, we're just diving in. Um…

W-Well, I've always been interested
in the law.

And law school is the next logical step
in my career path.

And this internship would
really open a lot of doors for me.

It's like you just mastered the art of

using many words and saying very little,

and none of them answered the question.

Why law?

I got five people in the ICU.
You gonna explain this to their families?

- I want that sample.
- I already told you.

I'm not giving you
the patient's blood work, okay?

Not without his consent,
which he can't give,

and not without a warrant,
which you don't have.

- Then I'll arrest you for obstruction.
- Obstruction of what?

- You don't have a warrant.
- Just hand it over.

Hey, get back, get back.
We're following hospital protocol.

Hey, hey, hey, wait a second.

Not to mention following the law.

No consent, no warrant, no blood sample.

But you already know that, don't you,
California Patrol Officer Reyes?

- Who called you?
- I just appear like any good nightmare.

Now, walk me through it.

[NURSE] Mmm. Mm-mmm.

Guy came in unconscious,
part of that big pile-up on the 110.

Doctor ordered a CBC, a metabolic panel.
We drew his blood.

- And then they showed up.
- Obtaining a blood sample

is a standard part
of a traffic accident investigation

where blood, drugs,
or alcohol is suspected.

Then why didn't you show up
with a warrant? That's standard protocol.

Who are you?

Daughter of a cop and a firefighter.

So you guys dropped the ball, huh?

Because if you had probable cause
of driving under the influence,

you could've easily gotten a warrant.

Now you're looking to save your asses

at the expense of this patient's rights.

Look, he's already drawn the blood.

That's right.
For my patient's benefit, not yours.

You're gonna wanna watch
your tone with me.

No, no, no. What you may wanna do,
Officer Reyes,

is watch that group of onlookers
recording you with their phones.

- I want that blood sample. Where is it?
- [CLAMORING]

[GABBY] Wait a minute. Stop right now...

[ONLOOKERS GASPING]

- All right, you're under arrest.
- Hey, don't touch her.

Get your hands off me. Don't worry,
you're going too. Cuff him. Come on.

- No, no, this is an unlawful arrest.
- [IAN] Hold on.

[REYES] Yeah, like hell it is. Let's go.

They're from the mayor's office.

- It's too much.
- I feel like it's not enough.

The mayor sent hot air.

- That tracks.
- [CHUCKLES] You seem better.

I'm not dead.

- Thanks to you both.
- Hey, if you're gonna have a stroke,

the dispatch center's probably
the second best place to do it.

The ER would've been better.
I wouldn't have scared everyone.

They were scared because they love you.

And they're going to be really happy
that you're okay.

Though they probably won't
wanna hear it from us.

So prepare yourself for a parade
of concerned well-wishers.

[MADDIE] And lots of nosy questions.

First nosy question,
what is the treatment plan here?

Statins, antiplatelet medications,

physical, speech,
and occupational therapy?

I went to Internet medical school

while they were trying
to dissolve the blood clot.

All of the above.

It's a lot.

But the prognosis is good,
and we're gonna be here to support you.

Anything that you need.

I need someone to step in at Dispatch.

To be me.

Would you do that for me,

Maddie?

- Me?
- I want you to take over the call center.

- Bye. Feel better.
- Bye.

- Feel better.
- We love you.

- Josh, I'm sorry.
- I can see why she'd pick you.

You're smart. You think on your feet.

Everyone on the floor respects you.
You'd be great at the job.

- Okay, I didn't actually say yes.
- Yeah, but you should.

It's fine, Maddie.

You don't have to worry about there
being any tension between us.

- I-I don't?
- No.

Because I quit.

[DOOR CLANKS SHUT]

- That blood?
- Yeah, but it's not mine.

- Oh, so what are you in for?
- Job interview.

Me too.

[OFFICER] Grant. Let's go.

You're being released.

- Who bailed me out?
- Thanks, Perry.

[PERRY] You got it.

- [ATHENA SIGHS]
- Did Gabby call you?

Yes, she did.

Did she mention anything
about the internship?

She did not.

- I-I'm so sorry about this.
- We'll talk about it in the car.

[MAY] The way those officers
totally escalated that situation,

it did not have to happen that way.

Ian was just trying to protect
the patient's rights,

and I did what you raised us to do.

I stepped in,
and I stood up for what was right.

Does the defense rest?

Depends. How much trouble is
the defense in, Your Honor?

You are a grown woman,

so if you're in trouble,
it's not with me…

unless you don't pay me back
that bail money.

Oh, I will pay you back, I promise.

[MAY SIGHS]

So you're really not mad?

I have learned that I need
to let my kids make their own choices,

stand on their own two feet.

So if you did
what you thought was right today,

then I'm proud of you.

Thanks.

So could you maybe call your friend Gabby
and get me another interview?

[KNOCKING]

[CHRIS] Room service.

Hey, Buck. It's Eddie and Chris.

And our favorite pizza Hawaiian style.

Even though fruit doesn't belong on pizza.

I don't think he's here, Dad.

- His car is.
- He probably Ubered somewhere.

Maybe call ahead next time.

Yeah. That's my bad.

All right. Uh, let's head back home.
I'll heat this up in the oven.

Hey, new look for a big day.

It's weird, right?
I should just go put my uniform back on.

I don't want it to look
like I think I'm better than them.

Well, you might not be better than,

but you're definitely not one of them,

not anymore.

- You're the boss now.
- Yeah, but I shouldn't be.

- It should be Josh.
- He's still not speaking to you?

I texted him this morning
and asked if we could talk,

and I got two words back.

- "Not yet."
- Two more words than you got yesterday.

But the thing is, I don't even blame him
for being mad at me.

I would be mad at me.

I mean, he's the one that trained me,
and he's been Sue's right-hand man

since I started at the call center.

- And yet, she still chose you.
- [SIGHS]

I didn't even want this promotion.
I mean, I liked the job that I had.

So why didn't you turn it down?

Because she just had a stroke.

And I thought that Josh and I were
going to figure things out.

You will.

He said, "Not yet."
He didn't say, "Never."

What? So I'm just supposed to wait?

Yeah, just enjoy the perks of being

in charge for however long that lasts.

Yeah, I guess it'll be nice not to have
to take 14 different phone calls

from people who've gotten shorted
on their curly fries.

Exactly.

Doesn't this promotion come
with, like, a salary increase, right?

Yes, but I don't like that it's
at the risk of my friendship.

Or my staffing.

It's day one,
and I'm already down two dispatchers.

See? Now you're thinking like a boss.
You're gonna be great.

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

Terry said the CAD update
should fix the AVL glitch.

If you guys are having any problems,
just let me know.

All right, that's all I
have for you guys.

Do you have any more questions for me?

Yeah.

Okay, since nobody wants to ask
any of the obvious questions,

let me just say this.

I have no idea
when or if Sue is coming back.

She's got quite the journey ahead of her.

Josh is going to take some time away.

Yesterday was very difficult,

and we're gonna give him the space
and time that he needs.

But I'm still here.

And so are all of you.

If you need anything,
you know where to find me.

[♪ "CURSE OF THE CROCODILE" PLAYING]

I think our patch has a bug.

- What?
- I sent an RA unit to Bartlett and Fig

and my system just locked up.

I'll ask Terry cause it
may just be local to your station.

Or not.

You're having the same issue.

Let's see if you can go in
a different way.

- Still the same issue. Still not working?
- No.

- [DISPATCHER 1] Maddie.
- One second.

Sorry, I was supposed
to get to this earlier.

[DISPATCHER 2] Hey, Maddie.

Yep, I see you. One minute.

Give me just a minute.

I'm on it. One second.

One minute.

I really need you.

[♪ SONG ENDS]

[TIA] Should we do a limewash instead?

Is it trendy chic or trendy basic?

Tia, unless you invited Santa Claus
to the wedding,

which, looking at the guest list,
I wouldn't be surprised,

no one is gonna care about the fireplace.

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothing. Nothing.

It means that the fireplace will
be rustic, or mid-century,

- or whatever your mood board says.
- [SCRUBBING CONTINUES]

And this Italian ceramic tile grout
will match

just as soon as I can get

Well, as usual,
your solution isn't solving anything.

My algorithm says to use this.

Be my guest.

[TIA SIGHS]

I don't understand.

It's like you don't even care
about this wedding anymore.

Care. Care?

I have nearly killed
myself ten times over

because you survived a plane crash once.

You wanna live? Fine, fine.

I'm trying to build that life for us,

but every time that we try
and say, "I do,"

this house says, "I object."

It's our wedding, Flynn.
I just want it to be perfect for us.

I don't want to marry a house
or a to-do list.

I-I wanna marry you.

I was fine in our two-room studio.

And that's exactly
where we'd still be in 30 years.

Fine, always fine,
because you don't want anything.

- You settle.
- I-I'm happily content.

You may be content, Flynn,
but you're seldom ever happy.

And as someone who's had their life
flash in front of their eyes,

I can tell you it's too short not to be.

My God, it was a partial plane crash.
You landed fine.

I'd still rather fix this nightmare

into a dream than stare at the ceiling

- and wait for life to happen to me.
- Tia, just stop.

No, you wanted to talk, something your

Waspy-ass parents
taught you never to do.

- So let's talk for once.
- No, Tia, stop.

Look at what you're doing.

- Is that normal?
- What did you use?

"Caution, do not mix
with the following chemicals…"

Oh, God.

Okay, ma'am,
tell me all the chemicals you mixed.

Okay, hydrogen peroxide, paint thinner.

[MADDIE] Taking over the call.

Does that paint thinner have acetone?

Yeah. Is that bad?

[MADDIE] I need you to evacuate now.

- Why?
- Because I know what the powder is.

Mother of Satan, TATP.

How does one accidentally
make a highly volatile explosive?

By not reading the product warning label?

[FLYNN] It was a six-point font.
How is anyone supposed to read that?

- Any nausea? Feeling tiredness?
- Just dim-witted.

This whole DIY thing is
literally blowing up in our faces.

Sometimes "yourself" isn't enough.

Sometimes even the smart ones get help.

True, uh, but sometimes
when you want a job done right,

you have to do it alone, no distractions.

Except we didn't do it right,
like, at all. We did it badly.

- You almost killed yourself.
- But you didn't.

Everyone is still here,
possibly even stronger for it.

I'm actually feeling pretty tired of it.

It wasn't all for the wedding.

The house, I mean.

It was for us.

Our future.

A breakfast nook for our morning coffee.

A fireplace
to hang stockings with our kids.

So yeah. It was important.

[FIREFIGHTER]
Drive clear, EOD approaching house.

[RADIO CHATTER]

We just fixed that.

Mother of Satan.

This is a very relaxing environment
you've curated for yourself.

- [♪ CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
- Music is good for recovery.

The overhead lights were not.

Migraines?

I kept thinking
I was having another stroke.

Yeah, it's common.
Did you tell your doctors?

They are discussing adding
another medication to my nightly cocktail.

Ooh. Nightly cocktail.
Where do I get one of those?

First day went that well?

I would like to officially apologize

for all the times that I said your name.

I had no idea
how much I would learn to hate mine today.

It gets easier.

Or you get used to it.

Today definitely had me rethinking
some of my life choices.

And mine?

[CHUCKLES]

I know that everyone expected it
to be Josh,

but I knew it couldn't be.

He's not the wrong man for the job.

It's more like,
it's the wrong job for the man.

- How do you mean?
- Josh cares too much.

He doesn't wanna be a burden on anyone.

He doesn't wanna disappoint me.

I knew that if he was in charge,
he would try to do everything himself.

And it would break him.

Yeah, I can see that.

Wait, does that mean
that I don't care enough?

Oh, of course you do,

oh, but you know how to rely on others

and ask for help when you need it.

And you're willing to delegate.

When are they bringing that cocktail?

- [GASPS] Oh, anytime now. Stick around.
- [CHUCKLES]

- I'll wait. Okay.
- Okay.

Thank you.

And thank you for agreeing to see me.

Well, I cannot lie.
The curiosity is killing me.

About what? How they treated me in jail?

No, your justification for what you did.

- What I did?
- Hmm.

What those officers did was shameful.

They acted like they were above the law.

And destroying potential evidence in

a vehicular manslaughter case wasn't?

I was just standing up for a man
that couldn't speak for himself.

And 20 minutes after you got yourself
hauled off to jail,

someone else came in
and took a new sample.

But you can get that one
thrown out too, right?

It doesn't matter, May. The man died.

That moment in the ER wasn't about him.

It wasn't about justice. It was about you.

No, I-I-I wanted to protect
that man's rights.

I wanted to be an ally to Ian.
Isn't that the job?

You walked in…

without any knowledge of the situation,

hardly any knowledge of the law,
you didn't even have a plan.

You reacted to emotion, May,

and got yourself and Ian arrested.

Had that patient been a client,

do you think it would've
been helpful to him

that you ended up at Central Booking?

Was it helpful to Ian?

Probably not.

But shouldn't being a lawyer
be more than just rules and statutes?

May, rules and statutes are
the foundation of the law.

And if you don't get that,
then maybe you shouldn't be a lawyer.

[♪ "APPOINTMENTS" PLAYING]

It's finished.

I honestly almost can't even believe it.

Feels like we climbed Mount Everest.

Except Everest has fewer casualties.

Just look at our bank statements.

You'll want to jump back down
to the bottom real quick.

I could do the math.

[♪ SONG FADES OUT]

I know what it's cost us.

I had this image in my head,
the picture-perfect life for us.

And now we're here standing in it, and…

It doesn't feel perfect.

Just sad.

I really wish…

That we weren't breaking up the night
before 85 people are supposed

to show up for a wedding?

[FLYNN CHUCKLES]

[SIGHS]

That too.

We still have something
we can be proud of.

May I present to you,

completely integrated whole-house audio,

fully adjustable multi-zone lighting,

high-efficiency HVAC with top-shelf,
networked kitchen appliances.

Care to do the honors?

I do.

[♪ "I DON'T THINK NOW
IS THE BEST TIME" PLAYING]

You see?

We weren't a total disaster.

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]

[♪ MUSIC CONTINUES]

[GLASS SHATTERS]

[SIREN WAILING]

All right.
Let's get some water on this fire.

Let's move.

Over there.

Hey! Hey, you folks doing okay?

We're good.

Let's get you down to the street
while we knock this fire down.

Nah, just let her burn.

Can we do that?

No. Come on.

- Athena. [CHUCKLES]
- Gabby! [CHUCKLES]

- [ATHENA] Oh. [CHUCKLES]
- It is so good to see you.

- Oh, get in.
- It's been too long.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Gabby, this is Henrietta Wilson.

- You can call me Hen.
- Hi, Hen.

And I believe you're familiar
with everyone's favorite aspiring felon.

[LAUGHING]

- Hi, May.
- Hi.

So you are the Gabby.
You knew Athena in the before times.

- Mm-hmm.
- I bet you have a whole bunch of stories.

I wanna hear them all.

Yeah, that's why I had to bring
two bottles of wine.

[ATHENA CHUCKLES]

Is it too early to plead the fifth?

Ah! You better start pleading now.

- Oh!
- [LAUGHING]

She called me from the restaurant

and begged me to come and help her out.

I mean that was the single worst date
I had ever had,

including the guy who tried
to steal my shoes, remember that?

[LAUGHING]

So I gather a few girls
and we show up at the restaurant,

try to help a sister out.

"Hey, Gabby, what are you two doing

"here?" Invited ourselves
to join the table.

And what does this one do?

I just had to go to the ladies' room…

[CHUCKLES] …and sneak out the window.

[LAUGHING]

Left us with the bad date
and half the check.

[LAUGHS]

[HEN] Hold on, hold on.

Why you didn't just tell that man,
"I'm not into you"?

Because he was Dr. Robbins' TA,

and I couldn't risk
not passing constitutional law.

Seriously, it would've upended
my entire timeline.

Gabby's path to success has

always had a very strict schedule.

- [LAUGHING]
- Yeah. Well, we all can't go

wherever the wind
and a cute boy takes us, Athena.

- Oh…
- [LAUGHING]

Some of us need a plan.

I thought I had a plan, but apparently,
I'm not cut out to be a lawyer.

Now, I never said
that you couldn't be a lawyer.

I said that maybe you shouldn't.

But what am I supposed to do instead?

I mean, I'm supposed
to know by now, right?

Four years of high school,
not one but two gap years,

four years of college, and I'm
just still standing here with zero clue.

May, what made you think
about law in the first place?

I don't know.

Felt like going into the family business.

Finishing the thing that you started.

[CHUCKLES] Baby, I didn't finish
law school for a good reason.

I found the thing
that I was supposed to do with my life

and I don't regret the choice.

But it feels like I'm wasting my life.

- [HEN] Oh, May, honey.
- [MAY SIGHS]

I don't think the clock is
running out on you just yet.

Look at me.

I was in my 30s
before I found that career coach.

Career coaches, honey.

They always seemed to be a waste
of time and a waste of money.

Did this one make an impact?

Well, I mean, she had a heart attack
during one of our sessions…

[CHUCKLING]
…dropped down right in front of me.

But I ended up doing compressions
until the paramedics arrived.

I saved her life and found my calling.

Wow. [EXHALES SHARPLY]

I mean, you guys have your origin stories.

I don't. [SIGHS]

May, this is your origin story.

It's just not over yet.

- [HEN] Damn. Yes!
- That part. That part, baby.

- Cheers to that.
- [HEN] That's right.

[GABBY LAUGHS]

- There you go.
- [MAY] Thank you, Mom.

So, they fixed the AVL,
but now the ALI is glitching.

Good morning to you too, Jamal. Let me…

You know what,
why don't you just call Terry,

see if he can figure out what's happening?

Yeah, will do. Ooh.

- What's this?
- An apology.

I'm sorry I bigfooted you.

I forgive you. You're new here.

- [CHUCKLES]
- [MADDIE GASPS]

[CHUCKLES]

Good morning.

You're back.

You didn't think I was gonna let you
do this all by yourself, did you?

No.

You care too much about this place.

But it's really great that you're back.

- [HEADSET BEEPS]
- Oh.

911, what's your emergency?

- Did you call ahead this time?
- [SIGHS] He said he'd be here.

He even said he'd make dessert.

Come on, Buck.

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

Hey, sorry, guys, had to make sure

the macarons are the right temperature

- or they won't have any feet. [CHUCKLES]
- Feet? Gross.

Hey, you won't be saying gross
once you try the raspberry ones.

- Come on, they're in the kitchen.
- Go on, buddy.

[SIGHS]

Hey. [CLEARS THROAT]

I'm sorry.

Uh, yeah, don't worry, really.

No, I second-guessed you.

We all handle things the way we need to.

- I was wrong to judge your way.
- I was wrong to get that testy.

You were just looking out for me.

And look, I-I admit it.
Yeah, things were weird out there.

But I'm feeling like myself again.

Really, Eddie, I'm doing good.

Well, you seem good.

Yeah. [CHUCKLES]

I was worried the man I knew
didn't make it out of New Mexico.

These taste great with feet.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,
do not eat those cookies before dinner.

You know, technically speaking,
it's a… it's a sandwich.

Please don't encourage him.

- Hey, hey, put that back.
- [CHRIS CHUCKLES]

Let's eat.

- There she is.
- Here you go.

- Thank you, thank you.
- Of course.

You know, I was surprised
when you called and asked to meet up.

I, uh, didn't realize
you even knew my name.

[CHUCKLES]

We rode in the back
of a patrol car together.

- [CHUCKLES]
- There will always be a bond between us.

[CHUCKLING]

Yeah.

Uh, yeah, so are you working
for Gabby now?

That would be a no.
It just wasn't a good fit.

Aw. You mean she didn't hire you
after you caused an uprising in the ER?

Crazy, huh? [CHUCKLES]

I think we both realized
that me becoming

a lawyer just wasn't really for me.

Okay.

Well, what do you want to do?

Uh… Well,
I'm, uh, still exploring my options.

Um… But what I do know is
how I want my work to make me feel.

Like, I'm really making a difference
in people's lives.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it.
I see that for you.

Can I ask you a question?

How did you know
you wanted to become a nurse?

Bye, Buck.

- See you next week?
- Yeah.
