Original subtitles

KAI: Previously on Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.

WALTER: Now that I'm sponsored by Nuked,

they're moving me and my surf buddies into their official house.

We had the most amazing time with your boy in Australia.

I'm finally ready to move on.

STEPH: This trip is a full Kai detox.

I have feelings for Steph.

My Steph?

LAHELA: The one that's obviously been into you forever?

- Your timing sucks. - I'm Nico.

NICO: I have been a cancer kid for a long time.

LAHELA: That is why you were going so fast on your dirt bike.

NICO: Yeah, and I never know when it's going to be my last time.

Are we drifting apart?

WALTER: Neither of us have normal kid jobs right now.

But we still love each other.

That's all that matters, right?

(tranquil music)

And the next thing you know,

at the farmer's market, a flash mob broke out.

And the whole thing was this kid asking a girl

to a high school dance.

I mean, the crepes lady is doing backflips.

The veggie guy is waving zucchinis like they're glow sticks.

There was a clown in a pile of guavas.

(laughs)

He might not have been a part of it.

Yeah, everyone's asking their dates to the Jellyfish Jam in these crazy,

elaborate ways. It's so extra.

Isn't Mom's cousin from Jersey in a flash mob?

Um... Different kind of mob.

"One, two, one, two, three, four?"

(band playing upbeat music)

Kai, will you go to the Jellyfish Jam with me?

Oh.

Sorry, Nikki, but I kind of had my eye on someone else.

(band playing sad music)

So, when did my Stephanie capture your heart?

What?

Wait, how did you know?

Only my true love could reduce someone I once admired to this...

pathetic puddle.

Never meet your heroes.

Well, yeah, I've liked her for a while, and I wanna ask her to the dance.

I always knew I'd have to fight for her.

I just never thought I'd be against my own flesh and blood.

Okay, cool it.

I don't think either of you has a chance with Steph.

Brian Patrick, you're in the 7th grade.

But read at an 8th-grade level.

And Kai, Steph had a crush on you forever. And you didn't do anything.

So, she moved on.

She's dancing, she's painting, she's meditating.

She's in a really good place.

So, you think it's too late?

(trumpet tooting)

(man panting)

I overslept. Did I miss it?

(theme music)

Dr. Kamealoha, listen. I wanted to tell you that tomorrow night,

you're covering the floor.

Wait, really?

(giggles)

Be professional.

- (exhales deeply) - Now, when I was a resident,

my favorite attending called covering "Captaining"

and only made fun of me a little bit when I made this pin to wear.

When you wear this, you are in charge. You make all decisions on treatment plans.

It's a big responsibility, but you've earned it.

Thank you.

Now, give your mom a hug. I'm so proud of you.

(both giggle)

How you feeling today, Nico?

Proud.

Rumor has it my very own teenage doctor is gonna captain her first shift.

- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. - No, I mean it.

Look, I have been in and out of hospitals long enough

to know that this is a big deal, so, congrats, dude.

- Thank you. - But...

are we sure you're ready? What?

I've seen doctors, like, three times your age crack under the pressure.

- Really? Mm. - Um-hmm.

What up, Nico? Dr. Kamealoha.

- (imitates buzzing) - (whooshes)

Oh, Gordon.

This one is captaining her first shift tomorrow night.

Well, that's great.

But are we sure you're ready for it?

Because I've seen doctors three times...

(laughs)

Oh, come on, man. You had her.

Sorry, I know you wanted me to, but I can't mess with Dr. Kamealoha.

She's one of the good ones.

Thank you, Gordon.

And Nico, you have a bone marrow biopsy in two days, okay, so get some rest.

We have some cancer to beat.

Not a problem. I can mess with you in my sleep.

(blowing raspberries)

Kai. A word?

After much soul searching, you have my blessing.

You may court Stephanie Marie Denisco.

Really?

I'm man enough to admit that you and her make more sense together,

both age and height wise.

You like Steph?

What is wrong with you two? And why do we have so many swivel chairs?

This is amazing.

- Does Steph know how you feel? - Not yet.

And we have our work cut out for us.

Steph had a crush on him forever,

even though he just learned that Norway is a real place.

I thought it was just from Frozen.

Wait, Steph had a crush on you?

How did you not know?

(light music)

You okay, Steph?

I have major feelings for Kai.

Ah, me too. He's a good kid.

No, I'm attracted to your son.

He's got great energy. Yeah.

No, I think he's, like, really hot.

I get it. It's a scorcher out here. I'll bring him some water.

I must have somehow missed the signs.

Of course you did.

Romantic obliviousness is the hallmark of the Kamealoha men.

Well, that and thinking the word is "supposebly."

(scoffs)

Kai, I'll help you come up with an amazing way

to ask Steph to the dance.

I'm the King of Romance, remember? Let's think big. Nothing's off limits.

It's short notice, but let me see if my pyrotechnic guy is available.

Wait, why do you have a pyro guy?

And Benny, I love how excited you get, but let's just pump the brakes.

Kai knows what he's doing.

Thanks, Mom. And, yeah, guys. I don't think I really need any help.

I mean, everyone's going to the Zippy's parking lot tonight,

so I thought I'd just ask her there.

How?

By saying...

"Will you go to the dance with me?"

(sighs)

Here, you'll need this if the plan is just to phone it in.

Both of you, stop. It's perfect.

- Oh, I'm so excited. - Thanks, Mom.

And he's supposebly one of us.

Right?

(sighs)

Your shift doesn't start for an hour. You're already working?

You should know "early bird gets the worm,

but the regular bird gets the exact same paycheck."

I am reviewing patient reports. I want everything to go perfectly.

Well, you're wasting your time.

Doesn't matter what you do, tonight's gonna be a mess.

Why would you say that?

Because, you're a black cloud.

I'm not.

- What does that mean? - Seriously?

Okay. So in any hospital, there are doctors who are white clouds,

and there are doctors who are black clouds.

When white clouds are on, things tend to go smooth.

Like me on the dance floor.

But when black clouds are on, it's total chaos.

Like I imagine you on the dance floor.

That was supposed to be awful, but I couldn't help myself,

so it was actually pretty dope.

Okay. Firstly, I've got moves, okay?

And secondly, even if what you were saying was true,

- which it's not, I'm not a black cloud. - Oh, really?

Let's just review your career thus far.

DR. LEE: Wherever you are, disaster strikes.

- You okay? - With your boyfriend.

(screams)

At the beach.

Let's give a warm welcome to Dr. Kamealoha on her first day.

DR. LEE: And who could forget the biggest catastrophe of all?

The oven broke in the cafeteria. No chocolate chip cookies this week.

(all groan)

You're a black cloud. Doesn't mean you're a bad doctor.

You're just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Like anyone who has to follow me at karaoke.

♪ Good luck ♪

WALTER: Lahela's awesome boyfriend. Lahela's awesome boyfriend.

Lahela's awesome...

Hey, babe. Do you like the new ringtone?

I changed all the sounds on your phone to that.

(chuckles) I love it.

I love that suit.

Hey, we should go to men's Zara together sometime.

Okay. One second.

DR. LEE: We're having a conversation.

So, what are you wearing?

WALTER: You like the suit? You know, my stylist picked it out for me.

You have a stylist?

Well, just for tonight.

Oh, remember when I took those pictures for O'ahu Surf magazine?

Did I tell you they made me the cover? (laughs)

LAHELA: Oh, my gosh. Wow.

That's amazing. I'm so happy for you.

Thanks. And there's this big party tonight to celebrate.

You think you can get off work and come with me?

Oh, I would love to, but I'm captaining tonight, remember?

Oh, right, but, I mean, it's just one shift.

You can get someone to cover, right?

Well, no. This is kind of a big deal for me.

Yeah, and tonight is kind of a big deal for me.

I'm sorry, but I can't.

Yeah. No, it's fine.

I get it.

(scoffs) Um...

What if we meet at our spot on the beach

and have a sunrise breakfast to celebrate both of our big nights?

That's a great idea. Set your alarm on your phone right now.

(chuckles)

Done. Good luck tonight.

Yeah, you too.

Hey, man to man. I hope you have a magical night.

Okay, get out of here.

(indistinct chatter)

But the whole thing is they're going into it as best friends.

But I feel like it's just for the drama.

Has your sister ever had to amputate like a leg or something?

I don't know, Spyder. Probably.

Huh.

Does she get to keep them?

I'll be right back.

- No, he hinted at it at first period. - Hey, Steph.

Do you have a sec?

What's up?

(fire crackles)

Oh, my God.

Oh, my...

Zoe, will you go to the Jellyfish Jam with me?

- I'd love to. - Cool.

(crowd cheer)

Now that's how you do it. Did you need something, Kai?

Uh...

Yeah, yeah, I just, I just wanted to, say hi, so...

Howdy.

(exhales deeply)

(girls giggle)

Hey, Dad. I'm gonna need your help after all.

BENNY: Look to your left.

(quirky music)

(sighs deeply)

Dr. Lee says I'm a black cloud. You guys don't think that's true, right?

Come on. Really?

That week without cookies almost made me quit.

- Thanks for the support. - DR. LEE: All right.

Dr. Kamealoha, time for you to captain the floor.

I left my car running out front so I can get out of here

before everything goes to hell.

(sighs) I'm not a black cloud.

And I'm gonna prove it tonight.

- Hmm. - DR. LEE: We'll see.

And your shift starts in three, two, one.

You see? Everything's fine.

(electricity crackles)

Yeah.

(whispers) Black cloud.

(machine beeping)

(exhales deeply)

I'm gonna fix it.

You guys came to spy on me?

Of course not. They came to spy. I came for the apple napple.

Hey. How's it hanging, BP?

Nails, I knew that pyro work out there had to be you.

Great job.

Okay, when we get home, we're having a very long conversation.

Okay, guys, I'm gonna need some help. You saw what just happened out there.

I can't just ask Steph to the dance now. She's expecting something big.

Okay, what are the rough dimensions of the parking lot

and does Steph have any allergies or serious phobias?

Kai, you... you don't need our help. She's been in love with you forever.

Not anymore. I messed it all up.

Just be yourself and ask her.

(both snort)

- What? - Maybe leave

the romance stuff to the pros, hon.

Yeah, I think we know what women want.

Now, can you be a doll and get me a refill?

Extra ice?

Ooh, all right, sir.

But I guess the monsters under your bed can read you to sleep tonight.

(gulps)

Gecko in the fuse box. We should be fine now.

Everyone on the floor is stable.

Okay, nothing else can go wrong tonight. So here's the plan.

We're gonna do constant rounds, double and triple check everything.

I feel the clouds moving in.

Yup. Storm's a-brewin'. (blowing raspberries)

Wow.

Second time in the past 45 minutes.

You are either really nervous about this whole black cloud thing or...

♪ Somebody has a crush on me ♪

I have a boyfriend, remember?

Yeah, I've seen him on your Insta and here.

So what does he have against shirts?

And also, why is he always kissing you on the head like he's the pope?

And why is he so angry at the ocean? I thought he loved it.

Lean back and relax your arm.

(breathes deeply)

Oh, okay.

In this interview, he says, "my favorite reading material is paper."

- He did not say that. - No, he didn't.

But the fact you had to double-check that tells us both something.

That's very funny.

Now, I promised your physical therapist

I would have you up and walking tonight, okay?

So, make sure you get your 10 laps in before you go to sleep.

Can I read and walk?

Knock yourself out.

You see, if I was a black cloud, I would not be saying that to my patient.

Oh, well, then it's a good thing I'm not.

Goodbye, Captain.

While I like where your head's at,

we don't have the time to turn the parking lot into a skating rink.

Not with that attitude we don't.

- Well, where would we even get the ice? - You own a shave ice truck.

- Interesting. - I don't know about any of this, guys.

Dad, how did you first ask Mom out?

Oh, you wanna hear how I became the King of Romance.

Well, I just assumed that you started calling yourself that until it stuck.

No.

Well, yes, but it all started in the med school library.

BENNY: I had the biggest crush on your mom.

She was smart, beautiful, funny, and always studying.

A princess being held hostage by the evils of medical school.

And I was her knight in shining denim.

(horse snorts)

Wo... (soft chuckle)

(horse neighs)

Benny, what are you doing?

I heard you like your coffee like you like your men.

On a horse.

(giggles)

- ALL: Aww. - (Clara exhales deeply)

- So baller! - Mm-hmm.

But I would have guessed you serenaded her, too.

Oh, I did. With the most romantic song I knew.

♪ Come my lady, come, come my lady ♪

♪ You're my butterfly sugar baby ♪

♪ Come my lady, come, come my lady ♪

- ♪ You're my... ♪ - Stop right there.

Don't say another word. I'll go out with you.

ALL: Aww.

- (horse neighs) - (exhales deeply)

You-are-a-god. Okay, just tell me what to do.

Okay. So, the keys to a grand, romantic gesture are two-fold.

The entrance and the presentation.

I made an entrance on a horse and it was surprising, bold...

Did the horse poop in the library?

Who can remember?

Seems like something you would...

I could ride in on my Vespa.

Perfect. And now the presentation.

I brought your mom a coffee to help her with her studying.

So, Kai, what can you offer Steph?

I don't know.

She loves Zippy's chili spaghetti.

Now we're getting somewhere.

A chili girl. She just keeps getting hotter.

(exhales deeply)

Oh, how's Mr. Lincoln?

Hm. He wants to set me up with his 60-year-old neighbor

who "loves Broadway."

- But his BGs back down to 128. - Great. Check again in an hour.

I don't want anything going wrong on my watch.

Aye, aye, Captain.

Something wrong with one of your patients?

None of your business,

and shouldn't you be in your room resting up for tomorrow?

I seem to remember a certain doctor telling me

that I should be up and moving around, so...

Where to next, Cap?

(sighs)

Have you ever tried roasting your patients?

I mean, like, really making fun of them?

- Why would I do that? - Laughter is the best medicine.

Medicine is the best medicine.

Okay, look, there's Mr. Stevens, all right?

Tell him that his mustache makes him

look like he has a woman tied to train tracks.

Oh, that should definitely unclog his arteries.

Hi, Mr. Stevens.

Okay. Oh, all right. Back to your boyfriend.

Now, what do you see in Walter?

I don't think that's your concern.

I mean, no disrespect,

but you are basically the smartest person I've ever met.

And he's a surfer bro.

He's not just a surfer bro.

Oh, okay. All right.

"What is your favorite thing to do to unwind?"

"Surf." He surfs to unwind from surfing.

Okay, Mr. Judgey. And who are you dating again?

Not your concern.

Oh, so, now you don't want to talk.

Because I haven't noticed any girls coming to visit you.

In fact, I haven't noticed anyone coming to visit you at all.

- Okay, okay. - It's like, knock, knock.

Who's there? Nobody.

Um... Yeah. Cool.

No, Nico, wait. We were playing around.

You were teasing me about being a black cloud, I...

Gordon, are you messing with me?

(Gordon grunts)

I need a rapid response team.

(Gordon groans)

AUTOMATED VOICE: Code Blue. All nurses to the nurse's station.

- Okay. - All nurses to the nurse's station.

(engine rumbles)

Kai's on the move.

(quirky music)

BRIAN: Target at two o'clock.

Looking cute as can be.

Kai looks a little unsteady.

Oops.

It's the chili spaghetti.

(scoffs)

Hey, Steph.

(grunting)

(Clara gasps)

(all groan)

(indistinct chatter)

That was the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen.

My baby boy!

Mama's coming!

I stand corrected.

You're gonna be okay, Gordon.

Okay. What do we got?

Sixty-year-old male with acute onset chest pain.

I think he's having an MI. We need to get an EKG stat.

What? This is how I always dress outside of work.

Well, you were right, Doogie. You're a real white cloud.

Our fatal flaw was not getting a to-go container for the chili.

Your fatal flaw was not just asking Steph out like a normal person.

Well, I wanted it to be special. Like the first time Dad asked you out.

You know, the kind of thing that she'd remember forever.

Oh, she'll remember this.

Kai, your dad asking me out was special.

Just not in the way he thinks.

(playful music)

Oh, Benny, what are you doing?

I heard you like your horsemen coffee.

Here's your cup of horse.

- (exclaims) - (hesitates)

♪ Come my lady, come, come my lady ♪

- ♪ You're my butterfly sugar baby ♪ - Man.

- Come, my lady. - Stop right there.

Don't say another word.

I'll go out with you.

- What? - I'll go out with you!

Giddy-up!

Forward, Cinnamon.

(neighs, snorts)

I always thought that was the moment you fell for me.

Are you kidding?

What's romantic about a horse relieving himself

all over my neuroscience textbook?

I knew it.

The moment I fell for Dad, was actually very simple.

And then, I don't know, probably work at a hospital in Philly.

- I've never been. Is it nice? - Um...

They filmed the movie Rocky there. And Mannequin.

- Andrew McCarthy. - Yeah.

Gum?

Watermelon.

That's my favorite.

Oh, is it?

I had no idea.

(giggles)

Wait, Dad never chews gum.

Can never resist the urge to swallow it.

But I love gum, and this sweet man started carrying it just for me.

See, what matters most are those small things

that show you really care.

- You care about Steph, right? - Yeah.

Just tell her that and everything will work out.

Thanks, Mom.

I'm gonna do it.

How do I look?

(exhales deeply)

(light music)

- This is my favorite spot. - Oh, yeah?

I like it because that statue kinda looks like...

A butt?

Well, I was gonna say, it looks like the Italian sculpture,

the Venus Callipyge.

Oh.

No, I'm just kidding.

I was totally gonna say it looks like a butt.

(exhales deeply)

I'm sorry about what I said before.

You know, I was joking, but I, I went too far.

Which is exactly why I shouldn't be roasting anyone, so.

Yeah. You're not wrong.

I mean, nobody ever comes to visit me,

not even the night before a major medical thing.

What about your family?

Well, my dad split when I was young.

And when my mom's not in rehab, she's nowhere to be found.

My aunt took me in and she's great,

but she has to work all the time to make ends meet.

That sounds hard.

(scoffs) Yeah.

I mean, besides my aunt, nobody cares what happens to me, so...

No, that's not true.

I care.

And so do a lot of people in the hospital.

Thanks, Doc.

I guess sometimes I need to hear that stuff, so...

You're welcome.

Would you look at that?

Your first shift as captain is officially over.

- Congratulations. - Oh, don't congratulate me.

Today was a total disaster.

(sighs deeply)

Dr. Lee was right. I am a black cloud.

Well, you know, maybe all this crazy stuff happens to you

because unlike everybody else, you can handle it.

The universe trusts you to take care of other people.

You are not a black cloud at all. You are the sun that comes out after.

(light music)

Hey.

Are you okay? That was a pretty nasty fall.

Not as nasty as when I threw a full plate of chili spaghetti at you.

It wasn't all bad. Some got in my mouth. It's so good.

I knew it was your favorite.

So, what was that all about, anyway?

I don't know. I guess I just got caught up

in everyone making these big Jellyfish Jam proposals, and...

I wanted mine to be just as special...

when I asked you.

- You were gonna ask me to the dance? - Yeah.

Wow.

I've waited a long time for that.

Like really long.

Like, so long, I have clothes that have gone out

and come back in style while I was waiting.

I know.

And I'm so sorry.

You were right in front of me the whole time, and I was blind.

But I see it now. I see you now, Steph.

And I think you're amazing.

So, would you maybe wanna go to the Jellyfish Jam with me?

No.

Not because I don't want to, but...

it's just while your mom was fixing you up,

Spyder came over to help me clean up the chili, and he asked me.

And I said yes.

Wow, that's...

that's cool.

Yeah, Spyder's a fun guy.

You guys will have a great time.

Well, ciao.

Ciao?

(exhales deeply)

(groans)

- How's Gordon? - He's gonna be okay.

Aww. Now, give me that pin before there's a Sharknado.

Congrats on your first captain shift, Doogie.

I'd love to say something nice to you right now,

but I don't want anyone to hear it.

It sets a bad precedent, so, I'll text you.

Well, now that your shift is up,

why don't I take you to my favorite spot in the hospital?

- The roof. - What are you talking about?

There's no access to the roof.

- Go. Go. - Let's go.

Hey, Stefan.
