Get out of here.

Previously on Best Medicine.

Are you more his parents?

I'm his best friend.

Why are you here?

I've decided to sell a house.

My house?

My house. Someone's left to me. I'm the eldest son.

I'm going viral. Is this what you're going to do with your life?

What? Be a garbage person?

It makes you think, doesn't it, Doc? What am I dedicating my life to? I've

Louisa since I was 12 years old.

She's perfect.

Nobody's perfect. The only mean thing that she's ever done is break up with...

Maybe we could... Get together for a real date.

Martin, inhale.

Exhale.

Hey, Martin, buddy.

Not sure if you're here yet, but... I'm gonna call

you back, buddy.

We were both riding the adrenaline of the moment, but I'm happy to pretend it

never happened.

Good night.

You don't think he looks depressed?

I think he looks like a dog. Whatever he's feeling can be solved by sleeping,

eating, pooping, or destroying a pair of my shoes.

What's got them so interested?

I have no idea.

It looks like you have the flu.

So, you and Louisa, huh?

I beg your pardon? I mean, I get why you'd like her.

She's a ray of sunshine.

But you?

Here you go, babe. Thanks. So you and Doc Martin, huh? I did not see that

coming. Like at all.

Uh, excuse me? So to manage your flu symptoms, you need to hydrate and take

relievers, isn't it? You know who needs pain relievers right now?

Sheriff?

I think it's great.

Love can come at any age, you know. What?

It's the flu, Mr. Collins.

Any questions? Who initiated the kiss?

How passionate are we talking?

How did he kiss? I picture a turtle eating a piece of lettuce.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Absolutely not.

What's this? Ticket.

Your car's parked in the red.

I've parked exactly where I always have since I got here. I turned a blind eye

before, but those days are over.

Mark, it's for $50. Let me just go out and move it. Sorry, some mistakes can't

be just moved back.

What? What?

Mark, since when do you go out giving tickets like this? Since when do you

nothing about rules and decency?

Okay, I have no idea what's going on right now. Yeah, me neither.

Not after what I saw in the parking lot of the hospital.

Wait, what?

You saw that? Yeah.

It might not be a crime, but it doesn't make it right.

You want me to close the door?

You don't have to.

What are you doing here?

You don't have the flu like everyone else, do you? Nope.

But word around town, though, is that you and a certain adorable... Not you,

too. This is a nightmare.

Is there a privacy anywhere?

In Port Wynn? Not really.

So, what happened?

Nothing.

All right, fine.

After a very long day...

Tending to Peter Cronk together, the natural bond people feel in a crisis

spoiled over. And you and Louisa kiss.

Well, good for you. You've been carrying a torch for her since you laid eyes on

her.

What did you do wrong?

Nothing. Why do you assume that I... Come on, what?

Nothing. Tell me. No.

Martin.

I may have suggested that we pretend it never happened.

Oh, my God.

Why? Spare us both the trouble.

Martin,

is that how you really feel about love?

Or were you just trying to blow the whole thing up to protect yourself so

wouldn't get hurt?

Well, either way, very insensitive. You're going to have to apologize for

ASAP.

I have to go see George and Greg.

Apologize, Martin.

Miss Michelle. You can call me Savannah.

You have fever, aches, and fatigue.

Sounds like the flu.

Are you sure we shouldn't be talking about that little patient? He's running

a very low frequency.

No idea what that means.

Well, your dog is depressed, obviously.

Well, for starters, he's not my dog.

I'm with a patient. Please go now.

Elaine!

Open.

What? Get him out of here.

You have a little fever.

Left nodes are inflamed. Okay, just FYI, understanding animals is literally my

job. Oh, yeah? And what job is that? I own a traveling petting zoo.

And in my expert opinion... Oh, expert? Really? Is there a petting zoo college

somewhere?

It's called Nature.

I'm sorry. Do you seriously not see how sad your dog is? Thank you, random

zookeeper person, but what's coming out of your bag?

Oh, my God.

You're crawling on my leg.

So gross.

What the hell is going on?

So vile.

Got it.

Please, just as I suspected.

Please. That's it.

I'm out of here. Sorry. Please are a public health hazard, and as much as I

to say this, which is a lot.

Until we can prove we're not carrying them out, no one can leave. Oh, my God.

am torching this place on Yelp.

The gossip about Mark and I had finally died down, and now everybody is talking

about me again. People are awful. So nosy. No boundaries at all. Thank you.

Thank you. What did happen?

Was it really just a kiss?

I bet Dr. Fussy Pants is a real tiger under that suit.

Excessive. No, of course not. A shower with dishwashing soap was excessive.

Again, dishwashing soap kills fleas, as does putting your clothes in the dryer.

It'll be done soon.

How soon? Today's the deadline to turn in my audition for Juilliard. Al is

recording it later. So I really need to move this along. Audition, huh? What

monologue are you doing?

I'm a thespian myself.

That's right. Yeah, you were so great as the mad scientist in the blood factory.

Oh, stop.

Um, I'm still working on my monologue.

Well, break a leg, as we actors say.

I put the clothes in the dryer 37 minutes ago. Feel free to check if

done.

Answer the phone. Show up on time. Now I have to vacuum and do laundry.

When did I become Act One Cinderella?

If I wrote a letter to Juilliard, do you think you could start tomorrow?

All right.

I can't even have a personal moment with someone without the whole town blabbing

about it.

I know. I'm so sorry about Greg. He really should have known better. I'm

going to stay in here and avoid people like that.

Oh, my gosh. These little planes are like crazy. Would you like a phone?

No, thanks.

I just don't know how everybody knows already.

That is my question. Well, maybe Martin told someone.

Doesn't seem like the bragging type.

It definitely wasn't something to brag about.

Really? Why?

Never mind.

I don't know why I would be interested.

I just don't know how else everyone knows so fast.

You know?

I guess I should call him.

Can I have a... Oh, yeah. Of course. You sure you don't want me to get you a

phone?

Okay.

Hello? Did you tell someone about what happened between us? Because everybody

the Salty Breeze knows.

Of course not. I would never.

It was Mark.

Apparently he saw us. Mark saw us?

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

This is a disaster.

Mark saw us?

Everybody's talking?

So much for pretending it never happened, huh?

Yes.

So, about that.

Gosh, geez.

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry, where are you right now?

Hiding in the walk -in.

So, you know, I'm super happy about how this is working out.

Well, a hippie infested my office with fleas.

Okay.

Stay warm in there.

Yeah, um, good luck with the fleas.

Mark.

Everyone, please get on your clothes and then leave as soon as humanly possible.

I'm having a strange feeling I've had this conversation before.

Oh, are you like a psychic?

Deja vu can be a sign.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Stop.

Everybody stay put.

Did he text you?

No one can leave.

Why? What's the problem this time? Don't panic. But this woman has lesions that

look like buboes.

It's a bubu, boomer. What the hell's a bubo? Doc, she has the plague.

As soon as possible, thank you.

If I could have everyone's attention. I can't breathe. The plague is closing my

throat. It's definitely not.

The health authorities are sending a biohazard team for Savannah, but they're

coming from Boston, so it's going to be a while. The plague would probably kill

all the old people first, right?

Ghoulish question, but brings me to my next point.

This type of plague doesn't spread easily from person to person, but from

and infected animals.

And if antibiotics are taken within the first 24 hours, outcome's very good.

Kind of sounds like if that bio -whatever team doesn't get here in 24

we're all screwed.

Yeah, screwed and dead. Wait, so you're the only doctor?

There isn't anybody better who, like, knows how to deal with diseases?

Well, I went to medical school, so I, like, know about diseases.

But yes, I'm it. But we're fine.

No need to panic.

Panicking?

Doc, what are you doing?

Looking for clues as to where Savannah and her flea -ridden purse have been.

What? She was at the Salty Breeze, which means people over there have been

exposed, and I need to get in touch with them. We don't have to change back into

the little gowns, do we? Because if I'm going to die of the plague, you're not.

I'm dying with my pants on. And I've always said that.

Hey, guys.

What do you want to talk to me about?

Well... Wait a minute.

What's going on back here?

Doug claims he found a baby fox and is nursing it back to health. I wish he'd

take it somewhere else. It's making Brisket very anxious.

I get that. It's kind of a rabbit -eared devil chihuahua. Makes me a little

nervous, too.

Listen, Sarah, we have a small confession to make.

You cheat at poker night. You think I don't know.

Oh, but not that.

We're the ones showing your house.

What? Your brother saw that Greg is a realtor in the area and asked us to

convince you to accept his offer.

Since we're friends.

Oh, some friends you are. Did he tell you what the terms of his offer is?

Sell a house out from under me and I get 20%. Thank you so much, your lordship.

We thought at least if it was us, we'd look after your best interest.

Yes, by kicking me out of my own house. Listen, I hate to bring it up, but your

brother says you don't have much by way of retirement savings.

Yeah, well, you know how it is.

Lobstering, you have a good year and then a bad year.

So maybe you should let us show the house.

There's a couple who wants to see it today.

Fine. Fine.

Fine. So, any intel on what happened between Louisa and your nephew?

She's hiding in the walk -in right now. Very upset.

You are not getting the hot gossip. You two are off the hot gossip list. Why me?

You can't do that. You can't stay on.

Hello?

And, Sarah, listen, there could be a crisis at the Salty Breeze. Oh, you bet

there is.

Louisa is hiding in the walk -in refrigerator.

When are you going to apologize to her?

Never mind that. A patient here, a woman named Savannah, she was recently at the

Salty Breeze, and she's exhibiting plague -like symptoms.

The plague?

Like, bring out your dead?

That plague? All the way down.

Bubonic, yes, the very one.

Wait, what's that behind you?

Oh.

Doug's got a baby fox.

Don't ask.

Hold the phone closer to it?

Sure. Greg, stay here, please.

Look at those ears.

That's a North African fennec fox.

Doug, where did you get one of those?

Funny story.

Oh!

Wow!

What's wrong with him? For starters, his face is in a bowl of oatmeal.

Now pull him out and make sure he's breathing.

Okay. Whoa.

Hold the phone closer.

Let me see his neck.

Oh, good Lord.

What are those?

Do you promise to remain calm?

Wait.

This is the plague. Yeah.

I didn't even want to eat here today. Excuse me.

Everyone listen up. What do we do?

A biohazard team is coming.

Until you have all been tested and the plague has been ruled out, no one should

leave the Salty Breeze. Understood.

But we can still take walk -ins, right?

Bringing people something to eat because I knew you wouldn't think about that

because you don't think about people or their feelings.

Mark. Mark, we haven't had a chance to fumigate since you left. Just some

vacuuming. So congratulations, you've now potentially exposed yourself to

-carrying fleas.

It's probably fine. Well, now you can't leave until you've been cleared by the

health authorities.

Good.

Mark, would you like to talk? No.

Yes, I would like to talk.

Is there anything you'd like to say to me that actually makes sense? Nope. I

nothing to say to you, man.

Okay, fine. Then you can go back out.

Okay, I actually do have a couple questions.

Well, this should be fun.

How long has it been going on between you and Louisa?

Have you been dating all this time and just laughing at me behind my back?

Are you two going to get married and have little doctor and school teacher

babies? Are you hoping that I die so you guys can just dance on my grave? Mark,

Mark, I assure you, Louisa and I were not and are not together.

So if we're done here, I have a plague outbreak to deal with.

Yeah, but you didn't say that you won't be together, okay? Because I can just

see through that little game of yours. You're not going to seek the future past

Sheriff Mark Milo.

go into the walk -in for an hour and come out to the literal plague yeah it

makes you think doesn't it about our mortality makes me think about getting

affairs in order updating our will double checking the dnr boring right who

wants a shot on the house oh sure first sign of a crisis and everyone drinks for

free well if we're gonna die let's die at a party

This is my kind of plague.

Free booze with my special lady.

That's what I'm talking about.

Let's toast to living life to the fullest.

To no regrets.

To do not resist.

The plague?

Are you serious?

It's a possibility, but we caught it early and we're treating it with

antibiotics, so you should be okay.

Wow. You know, I had my cards read recently, and the reader said that

bad or not so bad could or could not happen.

And now look at this.

That's crazy, right? Hey, you better not be interrogating someone because I'm

the one who dug the interrogating. Who are you?

We'll ask the questions here.

Go ahead.

Ask your questions.

Doug over at the Salty Breeze has been exhibiting similar symptoms. Have you

any recent interactions with him?

Doug?

Doug.

Dougie, Dougie, Doug, Doug, Doug. No, that name does not ring a bell.

I don't believe you. I don't believe anyone anymore.

You know, stop trusting and you start resting.

Think about it. Have you been abroad lately? You know what? Actually, I did

to Morocco recently for a yoga retreat.

Namaste. And that's where you got the fennec fox?

What's a fennec fox?

Anyway, it's probably just like a regular fox, but with bigger ears.

You just said you didn't know what a fennec fox was, so how would you know

fennec foxes have big ears if you don't know what a fennec fox is? Don't you lie

to me, Savannah!

Okay, I'll thank you for your help, Mark.

I'll take it from here.

Hey, I think I ran out of her cage pretty good. She's gonna crack soon, all

right? Hey.

But I'm still mad at him.

Okay, thank you. I'm still mad at him. Okay, I got it. Thanks, Mark. I got it.

Wow.

There's some roiling tension between you two. What's going on there?

Just admit you smuggled the fennec fox and sold it to Doug so I don't have to

bring back the emotionally unstable sheriff, okay?

Fine. But if you think you can make a living charging five -year -olds to ride

ponies... Think again. I don't think that. I don't know why anyone would

that. But the fox shoe traffic... I call it exotic animal re -homemaking.

Whatever. It likely has plague -carrying fleas that multiplied and migrated to

the other animals in your zoo and then spread to you and now to Doug. Look, I'm

not a monster, okay?

I'm just trying to find loving homes for these animals.

They carry stress in their bodies just like we do.

You really feel like you're holding on to a lot of stress too, my dude.

And the only way to let go of stress...

Just open up. Well, I wouldn't open up too much unless you have a lawyer

present. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to let the town know about the mess

you've made.

Elaine, we need to make a PSA. A what? A public search.

A video telling the community what's going on. Okay, we'll post it to your

social media.

Oh, now you like my social media.

Elaine, please.

I regret never making time to visit my sister in Florida.

You called your sister, and I quote, a joyless iguana with a shard of

nathraplum.

I also regret hosting George to keep our conversations private.

What about you, Louisa?

Is there anything or anyone you'd be sad to miss out on?

Really, really.

With everything that's going on, this is what you're focused on?

Our school is closing, which is a huge blow to Portwood, not to mention my

career. I mean, I have no idea what's happening in my life next.

Oh, oh, we might all have a disease that killed half of medieval Europe. So, you

know, sure, we can just discuss my weird kiss with the town doctor.

When you say weird, I hope you get it.

Port Wynn is a fishbowl, and I'm tired of being a goldfish.

Are we recording?

Yeah. Why are you looking at the... Okay. Ready? A -go.

Hello.

Dr. Martin Best here in Port Wynn, where we appear to be having an outbreak of

bubonic plague.

Now, there's no cause for panic, but if you're experiencing flu -like symptoms,

along with painful swelling in your neck...

armpits, or groin area, or unusual lesions or sores, please come see me or

another health care provider immediately.

Just because I suck at the doctor's office, don't get any ideas about

any crimes.

Please share this post widely, Elaniacs. You could save a life.

She's saying give me a follow as if she's been talking to, like, 12 people.

Elania? She's worse than the plague. Let those three die.

Yeah, question.

Shouldn't we consider other disease vectors like dirt?

I hate the Internet.

Elaine! Hey, no, don't. Stay there.

Clay? Are you okay?

Yeah, I don't know. This is weird, but I'm fine.

I, um, I brought you lunch. Thank you.

Mark brought sandwiches, too. I'll take it. His were very dry.

Hey, listen, so I speed -read this acting book, and it said, attract the

emotional beats of a monologue. So I got your monologue, and I started tracking

the emotional beats of it. I don't think I'm going to get to it. What?

You have to. I looked at it, and there's no extension.

We have to do it today.

Al, look around.

I'm in a crisis. I was thinking we could shoot through the window. We can do it

right now. Just let it go, okay? No.

Look, this is all you talk about, wanting to go to school in New York

okay? Let me help. I don't want your help.

Okay? If you like the idea of school in New York so much, you can go.

Bye. Bye. Bye.

Leave the lunch!

Are you guys fighting?

Thank you.

Cheers.

Poor woman in a plague house. You're looking awfully pleased with yourself.

I'm feeling very at peace with my life.

Plus, you're stuck here with me, so you can't show my house.

No such luck.

We have someone showing it for us.

Who? Old man Collins.

Damn it all.

Doug! You good?

Whoa.

I was really out of it. Doug, I've got something really important to tell you,

and it might be scary.

I'm not going to be a dad, am I? What?

Oh, I don't know. You might have the plague. The bubonic plague?

Mm -hmm. How did I get that? Doc said it must be some animals owned by some

woman named Savannah.

Oh, no.

Savannah's got the plague.

Where is she? Doc Martin's office. Why?

She needs me.

Doc, stop. I'm not supposed to leave.

Hi, Jeb.

Hello?

Jeb, it's Sarah.

I can't talk now. I'm showing the house for Ken.

You mean Greg? Yeah.

Listen, could you do me a favor?

Where is she?

Where's Savannah?

Whoa, whoa, slow your roll, Chief. Doug, what are you doing? You shouldn't be

running around town with a plague -infested creature.

Don't you call my Savannah that! I'm talking about... Wait.

You're Savannah?

Have you and Savannah been intimate?

That's a clinical way to put it. That's dark, clinical, no heart. Clock it,

Marky. Period.

Go on. I met her on a website for enthusiasts of unusual pets.

But it only took a few encrypted texts for me to realize that she's my

That's what you said about my wife. Oh, hey, Gil.

Good to see you, man.

So the answer is yes.

You two have been intimate.

Come with me.

Savannah, my love.

Let's not go crazy.

Are most of your painful lesions in your groin area? Oh, yeah. Do you want it?

No, no, no. Nope.

I take your word for it.

No. You might actually have a sexually transmitted infection called LGV, which

has similar symptoms to the plague. That's been that guy from Bonnaroo.

it too can be treated with a course of antibiotics.

Sorry, Doug.

One.

Doug, your last girlfriend gave you breasts.

This one gave you a disease similar to the plague. As your physician, I feel

compelled to say, make better dating choices.

I gotta say, the vibe at the Salty Breeze was way better.

Elaine, we need to make another post.

On it.

Hello, everyone. This is Port Wynn Public Safety Officer Elaine with an

important update.

Hi, everyone.

Dr. Best here.

So, the situation is evolving, and we're still waiting for the biohazard team to

arrive to confirm, but at the moment, my assessment is we are not having a

plague outbreak in Port Wynn. Thank you. But still don't commit any crimes.

Doc, have you ever thought about being a hair model?

Because the camera actually loves your hair.

What? Loves it. Really? Hey, if it's not the plague, what do you think it is? I

can't say.

Confidentiality. There can't be that many diseases that have plague -like

symptoms.

Yikes. That looks uncomfortable.

No! Good news.

Martin just posted another video saying that it looks like there's no plague

outbreak after all. So all we have to do is just hang out here for a little bit

longer, get tested just to be sure. That's great.

You seem less than thrilled.

I just feel disappointed about where my life is right now.

Well, this may be controversial given the day that we've had.

But when I'm feeling low, do you know what makes me feel better?

Besides.

Umbrellas and drink.

Okay, then I give up.

Watching animal videos.

Huh? Mm -hmm. Not what I was expecting.

Hey, hey, hey.

Otters holding paws while they float on their backs.

Pudgy marmots doing goofy marmot things in the Alpine Meadows. My favorite is

this wolf dead in Acadia. I defy you not to be transported.

This is a twist.

Should we watch one?

Right after that, how could we not? You know I got it queued up already.

I'm serious.

Okay, here we go.

Okay, that is Wolf Blitzer. We love him. And this one.

Oh.

No, is this a bad choice?

No, no, no, no. Perfect.

Okay, so that's it. That's

Wolf Blitzer. Wolf Blitzer? We don't like that. Okay.

But we love Wolf Clifton. We love Wolf Clifton.

Sorry to intrude, but I'm

sensing some inner tension.

Whoa, you really are psychic.

People do say that.

But really, we're all just animals who think we're better at hiding our own

stress than we actually are.

I've barely worked on my audition.

I don't know. I'm, like, too scared, I guess.

Fear of failure.

I get that.

I hated taking tests in school. Why do you think I turned to a life of crime?

Yes, crazy animal lady. So hot.

Actually, I'm more afraid of success.

I mean, what if I crush this audition and Juilliard is like, holy crap, we

literally never seen anyone act so good.

Then he moved to New York City and you follow your dreams.

Barf, so basic.

Do you mind?

Then I would have to leave Al behind.

Is Al your boyfriend?

You know... We have this idea that life has to be either or.

That we can only have one good thing.

But what if the universe is like, no, you can have all the good things.

So I could have Al and Julia? Yeah. Or in my case, beat this crazy STD and the

federal wildlife animal charges that I'm facing.

Yeah, no fingers crossed for the both of us.

I saw your video. Hey, no offense, buddy, but you're not looking too good

now. Um, Doc?

Lennon, you shouldn't be here.

Oh, I'm growing nipples on my neck.

Okay, maybe you should. Have you had intimate contact with this woman, Doug,

both? Are you suggesting I had some kind of woo -woo three -way with those

weirdos? Hell no.

Rules out the STD.

I got it.

Have you visited the petting zoo, maybe?

I mean, I don't think so. This isn't a hard question.

I might have taken my son. Isn't Glyndon Jr.

like 17?

Fine. I went alone. Okay.

I like petting the goats.

It's soothing.

Exposure.

Pupils.

We might be looking at a plague outbreak after all. I concur.

Hey, Doc. Bad news.

Biohazard team got in a fender bender and said they're going to be delayed by

couple of hours. What? Okay, didn't you say the longer I take those guys

together, the more dangerous it gets?

Great. Now I have to text my mom back and tell her I am going to die. Thanks a

lot. Nobody is going to die.

We just need to stay calm and in control of the situation.

Is that clear?

Has anyone seen the fox?

What?

My mom was right. I lack the emotional maturity to own a pet.

You need to find that fox.

You're going to be fine.

But if you need to pet a baby goat... Oh, shut up.

Doc, we got more incoming.

I'm not feeling so hot.

I'm like, is this the plague? My daughter's like, go find out, dummy.

I just feel like ass.

You know, like a general all -over assiness.

Mark, text your mom at the pharmacy.

Tell her we need more antibiotics, rapid flu tests, and any IV bags she may have

on hand. Have her leave them out front and then go run down and get them. Got

it? Got it. No problem.

Elaine, we need to update the public.

Excuse me.

Dr. Best here.

Small update on the previous update, but not you.

Yes. To reiterate, please disregard my previous post. We are having an outbreak

of plague here in Portland.

Also, Al, if you're watching, I am sorry that I was so crabby. That was not

about you. I do want to go for it, and I really need your help. Okay, bye. First

we're going to die, then we're not going to die, now we're back to dying.

Make up your mind already, will you, Doc?

Oh, that guy sucks. We're all symptom -free for now, so I think we should

just... What?

Stay calm.

I'm calm.

I'm calm.

What is... It's Greg's real estate phone.

Hi, Greg Garrison, Realty. This is Greg speaking. How may I help you find the

home of your dreams?

I see.

Well, that is... Okay.

Well, thank you very much.

Who was that?

The buyer is looking at Sarah's house. Jeb Collins told him the house was full

of fleas with plague. I wonder why he would do that.

Beats me.

Oh, fine.

I paid him off to badmouth it. Excuse me. If I'm going to die of the plague, I

want to do it in my own house.

Nobody's pushing me out.

Well, except possibly death.

But point taken.

You know what I think we could all use right now?

Wolfton Video.

Oh. Yes. Fire it up. Yes.

Okay.

Did you get the antibiotics?

Yeah, I got them. Sorry, y 'all.

All right.

Okay, everybody, listen up.

We're having a lot of people come in right now not feeling well.

Now, most of you probably just have the flu, but some of you might have the

plague. So here's what we're going to do.

Who here is having fever, aches, and fatigue?

Okay. Now, you're going to take rapid flu tests out here in the waiting room.

Now, who has swollen lymph nodes under your chin, possibly in your armpit or

groin? Okay, if you have any of those, you're going to come into the exam room.

We're going to give you antibiotics right away. Now, you are not contagious,

we will take care of you. I'm just here for nighttime gas.

Noted. Let's go.

Al, what are you doing here?

Do you have plague symptoms?

I don't care about the plague.

Famous last words. Came back. Thank you. I'm so sorry. Honestly, I was just

afraid of my own awesomeness.

I forgive you, but we have to move fast. We only have a couple hours until the

deadline, all right?

Did you memorize your speech?

Yeah, I'm off book.

I have no idea what that would mean.

Okay, who wants to be in a movie or a very low -budget audition video?

I might be available.

You're not thinking of doing this in here, are you?

Why not?

I'll go deal with the plague while you put on your little show.

Hi, I'm Elaine Denton, and I will be performing Olga's monologue from Anton

Chekhov's Three Sisters, which is a play that I have read.

It almost seems as if a minute more, and we'll know why we live

and why we suffer.

If only we knew.

If only we knew.

What difference does it make?

What difference does it make?

If only we knew.

Cut.

Elaine, you're so good.

Should I take my line again?

No.

I think we got it.

The mother -child bond is so primal, so deep.

I mean, why would a lady wolf ever not want to have that experience?

Guy wolves come and go, but the bond to your wolf baby, that's forever.

I mean, not having a wolf cub.

I mean, she probably regrets that for the rest of her wolf life.

What?

Are you wanting a wolf cup?

What? No. Why would you?

I mean, maybe.

Okay. I don't know. I'm going to say something to you, and if I'm

tell me to buzz off. Okay.

If you ever decide to have a baby on your own, I will be there for you.

Cooking, babysitting, whatever you need.

We'll all be there for you.

Of course. All of us. Oh, honey.

Even when we're nosy and annoying, we're your friends.

You guys.

That took you a while.

Everyone in this room needs to be tested along with a few people down the

street. Understood. We've already got team members over there. We'll get a

testing station set up ASAP.

Coming back.

First, I want you to check on my patients with lesions.

Some of the ones out here might have the plague. Some of them might just have

the flu.

But everyone out here needs rapid tests for plague.

Okay, folks.

I'm headed home soon as they clear me.

Oh, I'd have to sleep it off. Sam, my nerves are shot.

You could settle them by helping me prep for tomorrow.

Sweetie, after the day I've had, I'm in bath and a napter. Am I crazy to say

today was fun?

Yeah, fun.

First we're dying, then we're not dying, then we're dying, now we're not dying.

Another drink, anybody?

Drinks on the house. Let me call animal control real quick.

Oh, hey, thanks, Doc. You know, despite being trapped in the paradigm of Western

medicine, I would have been in real trouble if I hadn't come to you. I think

are in real trouble. Your fox did give six of our townspeople the plague.

Yeah, well, if I may.

I think your dog is sad because he doesn't know where he stands with you.

like, am I his dog or am I not?

He's not.

I don't believe you.

And neither does your dog.

You know, you should admit that you actually care about whoever it is that

care about. At least to yourself.

Uh -huh. Well, you should pursue a therapy degree while you're in jail.

Maybe I will.

Anyway. Thanks, Doc.

Hey, do you know any lawyers?

Hi, Sarah.

Hi, Savannah.

It's always like that. Oh, you're not even going to apologize.

Look, Mark, I understand you're upset, but I don't know what I actually did. Am

I your friend? Excuse me?

Do you consider me your friend?

Yes.

Okay.

Well, when you're friends with someone and you start having feelings for their

ex, you gotta give them a heads up, Doc.

It was just something that happened. I know, I know. Like a one -time heat of

the moment type thing, huh? It meant nothing.

What?

You kissed Louisa and you think it meant nothing?

You're not just lying to me, buddy.

You're lying to yourself.

I'll see you later, okay?

Thanks for meeting me. Sure. I mean, what a day.

In fact, it gave me a lot to think about. About what?

What

are

the odds of an exotic animal, not even from the continent, showing up in a

town? and causing an outbreak of plague.

Wait, wait, what?

Low. Oh. Very low.

Vanishingly low.

And there are lots of things about life that I might not understand as well as I

thought.

I don't know why I sometimes say obnoxious things.

Martin, you don't... Please, I... You know, another surprising thing about

is that...

Sometimes other things with incredibly low odds can also happen.

Nice things.

Things between two people.

I've been thinking too.

And I think this town is too small for us to date.

Even if it were.

Good idea, which I don't think that it is. Oh. You're a great guy.

You don't need to explain anything to me. And we have this crazy push and

which is exciting and also frustrating. And I just don't think I have a bunch of

time for a lot of drama right now because I want to have a baby.

Oh, God, not with you. Oh.

Not what I was saying, just a baby.

I wish you luck with that.

I do.

Turn off the lights before I go.

When nobody knows.

Nobody knows.

Jacob Prentiss.

Let's go for a walk.

The way that I always let it down.

The road I didn't know.

We're getting a visitor's building from Norway.

Next Tuesday.

Dr. Best, that's an honor.

Will these out -of -towners, why are they trying so hard? I don't trust them.

Change port when forever?

I want people to know the truth about our guests. Oh, my God. All -new Best

Medicine, next Tuesday on Fox.

Please, I'm thermic. One of us is going to need to go for help. I'll do it.

Still no signal.

Doc, all -new, next on Fox.
