What's wrong with her?

We don't know yet.

I've ordered some death while we wait on Dr. Carlson.

I promised her I'd take care of her.

Well, you're here, aren't you?

And Maggie's doing everything she can.

Hey, it's me.

I'm right here.

It's going to be okay.

I don't feel good.

I'm going to find Dr. Rodney. See if the test results have come back.

Will you call me if anything changes?

Will do.

Sorry, Tracy.

I'm not going anywhere, okay?

We're here for you, honey.

Is this as good as it's gonna get?

I've given all I can give, but the rivers still get wider, wider.

We've been here all along, so the valleys we carry on.

The journey takes us higher, higher.

This could be a home if we try to build it. This could be a life that's one in a

million. All the lockdowns, yeah, they were worth it. Time and time and time.

So what have we got?

X -rays are clean.

Low platelets.

High white blood cell count.

A possible infection or maybe an autoimmune disorder.

Oh, Phil doesn't narrow it down enough to know what we're dealing with.

I came as soon as I got your message. I can't believe this happened the one time

I turned my phone off.

All right, fill me in. What's happening?

The X -rays didn't show anything.

X -rays? Who ordered those?

I did.

I thought we talked about this yesterday.

Well, Tracy's breathing declined. I needed to rule out any lung damage

I see. So you subjected a young girl to radiation.

That would have been my last call, not my first.

Yeah, but you weren't here to make that call, were you?

That doesn't qualify you to make decisions in my place, Dr. Sullivan.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean...

Dr. Rabney, if you have a moment, I would like to walk through a proper

diagnostic strategy with you. Of course.

I got this.

Well, I started talking to Meg yesterday, but we were interrupted.

You can't put your life on hold forever.

You need to go back to work.

I just need a little more time.

Yeah, I still don't understand why you're putting yourself through this.

your friend, not just your editor.

I just want you to be happy, mate.

Marcy, Frank, for watching the store for me.

Tracy still not good?

No.

Watching Ben sit by her side like that, it really killed me.

I'm sorry.

I imagine that's what it was like for you when I was in the hospital.

Edna.

Well, look who it is.

It's been a dog's age.

I was happy to hear you were back.

You need some bait?

Actually, I was kind of hoping that Frank could come and do some fishing and

maybe we could catch up a little.

That would have been nice, but it's not a good day for me. I've got a friend in

the hospital.

You should go.

You need me here.

I'll be just fine.

And it'll be good for you to spend some time with someone else for a change.

You should go fishing with Danny.

Are you sure?

Positive.

Now go catch me a nice big fish.

Have fun.

Okay.

You don't need to worry about me.

I'm your warrior, remember?

Hey, any word for Maggie?

No, she said she'd call when she had an update.

Shouldn't you be on your way to the airport?

Yeah, I just thought I'd stop by and make sure everything was good here

Rob, you don't have to worry.

I'm on it.

Look how thin that is.

Whoa. Hey, you weren't kidding. That knife really is amazing.

I'll email you the website.

It's only about 500 bucks.

For a knife? Yeah. That's wild.

Hey.

What did you always say?

Perfection comes at a price, right, Amir?

Do you bring your own knives everywhere you go?

Well, most professional chefs do, but this one isn't mine.

It's a gift for Rob.

Hey, wait, no, I can't take that too much. I insist.

This really means a lot to me.

Thanks.

Of course, I'll need to borrow it while I'm here.

Of course.

Nice gift.

Hey, look, I gotta get going.

You guys think you can go a few days without killing each other?

Please?

Go see your kid. I got that.

Thank you.

Safe travels, brother.

Hey, don't forget, Sid's in charge.

I doubt she'd let me forget that.

And you, Sid.

Cut him here some slack, please.

He's doing us a favor, remember?

I know.

Do you have my love to fin?

Yeah.

Safe travels.

Looks like it's just you and me now.

I wouldn't get too used to it.

Rob will be back soon, and you can get back to that fancy career of yours.

Is Maggie around?

No, she's at the hospital.

It's Liam, right?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm Edna, Frank's wife.

Oh.

Yeah, it's nice to meet you.

Look, I was just over at the lodge and I heard what happened.

Do you know if Tracy's going to be okay?

We still don't know yet.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Will you let Maggie know that I came by?

Sure.

Thanks.

Everything okay?

Yeah, I'm just hoping to finish the conversation that we started yesterday,

it can wait.

I'll let her know.

Thanks.

Dr. Rodney?

No, it's Dr. Crossman's plan for Tracy.

He still thinks it could be viral.

I don't agree with him.

To be honest, neither do I.

Okay.

Tracy was initially diagnosed with asthma.

Her condition's worsened. She's now exhibiting high fever and lethargy.

Meningitis?

No next -difference or nausea.

What about West Nile?

There hasn't been a reported case in Nova Scotia for three years.

Sorry. Keep thinking.

I'll go talk to Quincy and apologize.

I don't think that's a good idea right now.

He's still pretty upset.

Maybe give him a little time.

Great.

Hey. There you are.

Quincy's here.

I know.

We spoke.

And he made us leave.

He was examining Tracy.

I'm sure he'll let you back in once he's finished.

You know, I thought it'd be a good time to give him a ride over to his house,

grab some of the things from Tracy.

That's a good idea.

I can drive myself.

Your car's over at the outpost, remember?

Right.

Why don't you try calling your mother again?

See how she's making out.

Okay. I take it your conversation with Dr. Carlson didn't go so well?

Yeah, not exactly.

Something happened between you two?

Besides me alienating the person who's supposed to vouch for me with the board?

I ordered a test without his approval.

Why?

Because I need to figure out what's going on with Tracy.

And you didn't trust that Quincy would do that?

He was convinced she had asthma when she came into the clinic.

I wasn't so sure.

And you thought you should go with your dad?

Yeah.

So?

Did you reach your mom?

Uh, not yet, no.

But I left her a message.

Okay. All right, well, let's head over to your place.

We'll see you in a little bit, okay?

Yeah.

I didn't see it coming.

Couldn't believe my eyes.

But oh, the way the sun was shining made it seem right.

It came to me in colors.

Couldn't hardly believe.

This was a good idea.

I'm glad you suggested it.

Yeah, me too.

I hope the fish are biting today.

So what did the elders say when you told them about that?

Conservation area.

We thought it was better than condos.

They wanted to know if they could still fish here after it's all said and done.

I think so.

You sure?

Those folks have a lot of rules.

I hadn't thought about that.

I can still remember coming here when I was a kid.

Saw this snail one time.

When I reached down to grab it, my fingers brushed up against a snapping

It was hiding there waiting for its lunch.

Could have took my fingers clean off.

But he didn't.

That was lucky.

I'd say.

So what did you do with the turtle?

I let him have that snail.

Why'd you do that?

Because he was here first.

Makes sense.

Hey, I'll just be a minute.

I'll come with you.

It's just the house is a mess and... Hey.

I grew up living in a bus.

No judgment here.

Okay.

Thanks for the ride.

Yeah.

It's all good. Why don't you go get ready, pack up Tracy's things, and I'm

to clean up the bed.

No, no, no. I'll do that later.

I don't mind.

Really?

Where are your trash bags?

They're in the kitchen in the drawer beside the fridge.

Thanks. Easy.

You got a leak in the bathroom?

Yeah, my mom said she's going to call the plumber.

What are you doing?

Plating. Presentation is everything.

Just do it the way we usually do it.

Every dish needs to look perfect.

This is not a fine dining establishment, Amir.

We serve comfort food.

Hello, are you even listening to me? I am, but that doesn't mean I have to

with you.

I'm the boss, remember?

And I am the star chef.

So I guess you just...

Don't need my opinion, then. I make my life a lot easier.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Uh, leaving.

How am I supposed to handle the lunch rush if you're not here?

You're the star chef.

I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Ray, I'm going home.

Call me if you need anything.

Dr. Carlson.

I'm a little busy.

Look, I am very sorry for what I said earlier.

That was completely out of line.

I wasn't sure that this was going to work out. Looks like maybe I was right.

from now on, Tracy's care is under my control. Are we clear?

Dr. Carlson, please.

I don't have time for this right now, Maggie. I have a patient to attend to.

Hey, Sedona.

Cal, what did you find?

I found some blueberries.

Sorry. That's all there was.

When's Mom coming home?

She has to find Dad first.

Don't worry, Sedona.

I'll take care of us.

Split them with Dakota and Sierra.

Don't you want any?

There's not enough.

I'll be fine.

Okay.

Maggie.

Quincy's completely cut me out of Tracy's care. He thinks that she has a

I am convinced that he's wrong.

Well, you should tell him that.

We won't. Listen to me, and I don't have any test results back that'll support

how I feel.

Are you still at the house?

Yeah.

Maybe have a look around there.

See if there's anything that could be causing her reaction.

What would I be looking for?

I don't know. Maybe something she ate?

Okay. All right. Give me one second.

There's not much in the fridge.

What about the cupboards?

Uh, got some cereal.

Got a little bit of rice.

Looks like they got mice.

Oh, yeah.

There's a whole bunch more behind the toaster.

Mouth dropping?

Yeah. They're going to need an exterminator.

I have to go. I need to find Quincy.

Uh, why?

I know what's wrong with Tracy.

Tracy's house is infested with mice. We need to test her for leptospirosis.

Leptospirosis? It fits the symptoms.

Okay, I'll order an MAT. We'll see if you're right.

Those results will take days to come back, so we need to start her on

before it gets any worse.

Not without test results.

My guy is telling me that I'm right about this.

I need a definitive diagnosis.

I'll order the MAT. We'll wait for the results. Now, if we're done here, I

really have to go.

This is Dr. Lawrence with the Board of Physicians. Dr. Rapney gave me your

number. Hi.

Looks like we've had a last -minute cancellation, so we could fit you in

I'm really sorry. Today's really not a good day.

Are you sure? These meetings are only held quarterly.

Yeah. Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of something important. I can't leave.

I'm very sorry.

Okay, well, hopefully we can fit you in next year.

You know, I had to take my sister Sedona to the hospital once, too.

What happened?

My mother was away for a few days, and we didn't have very much food in the

house.

So I decided to go pick some blueberries.

Turns out I didn't know the difference between blueberries and chokeberries.

And Sedona's allergic to chokeberries.

Was she okay?

She ended up with a really bad stomachache.

Oh.

Yeah.

I know what it feels like to blame yourself.

Tracy's fever is getting worse.

She doesn't seem to be responding to the antibiotic that was ordered.

Cal was just over at their house, and there were mice there. So I think that

Tracy contracted leptospirosis.

Have you told Dr. Carlson?

Yeah, and he's ordered the microscopic agglutination test to confirm it, but

those results will take too long.

I want to start her on treatment immediately.

Have you cleared it with Dr. Carlson?

Tracy's my concern. I will deal with the consequences if I'm wrong.

Okay.

What you said earlier about lots of rules, you think I'm making a mistake?

It's not up to me to say.

Well, I just want to make sure that this is all protected for the future.

Listen, we have this weekly talking circle happening over on the res.

It might help you sort through things.

No pressure, just gathering a friend to talk about whatever's on your mind.

Maybe you and Edna could come.

I'll think about it.

Just know you're always welcome, Nedda.

Thank you.

Hey, do you want to grab something to eat on the way back?

Sure. All right.

The board of physicians just called. Said they had an opening, but you didn't

take it.

I didn't want to leave Tracy.

I can watch her.

No, it doesn't feel right.

Doing what you need to do to get your license.

That means helping a lot more people here than just Tracy.

It's probably already over.

If you leave now, you still might be able to make it.

What about Dr. Carlson?

I'll call him and let him know.

Thank you.

Maggie's not back yet.

Oh.

You need a hand?

Could you?

Yeah, of course.

Thank you.

So, what's next for you?

What do you mean?

Well, once you leave the crossing.

I'm supposed to be moving to Europe, but I guess I'm still thinking about it.

Why is that?

I'm still figuring some things out.

So I guess it's true what Maggie said. You really are the spontaneous type.

I guess I can be a little impulsive at times, yeah.

Well, Maggie's always been one to think things through and plan them out.

Really?

Let's see.

She wasn't like that when she was with me.

Well, that didn't turn out very well, did it?

Well, it's a complicated story, Edna.

Maybe.

But you still strike me as someone who likes to wander.

And Maggie, RMT is already putting down roots here.

What are you trying to say?

She's happy.

And I don't want to see her get hurt again.

She deserves better than that.

Well, uh, looks like it's fixed, so I'm going to head back to my cabin.

Thank you.

I'm Maggie Sullivan. I spoke with Dr.

Lawrence on the phone about a last minute cancellation.

That was me.

I was able to make it after all.

Is it too late?

I suppose we could make an exception.

Thank you.

Follow me.

Okay. Do you want to start by addressing the board and telling us why you're

here?

I'm Dr. Maggie Sullivan.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak with you all today.

I'm here to request special permission to complete my residency in Timberlake

instead of Halifax.

And which doctor are you proposing to work with?

I've met with Dr.

Quincy Carlson, but I'm not sure that he's going to make it today.

And why is that?

You know, you'll have to sign off on your request.

I know.

It's just that... Sorry I'm late.

I spoke to the hospital. They told me you started treating Tracy for

leptospirosis. Without consulting me.

Thank you for joining us.

Dr. Carlson, would you like to say a few words?

Yes, I would.

Dr. Sullivan is an accomplished surgeon, but the question of whether she is

suited for general practice still remains.

Like many surgeons, Dr. Sullivan is confident in her abilities, yet she

is also reactive in her approach, and because of this, She may find it

to accept other people's diagnoses.

She goes on gut instincts, and she won't let anyone dissuade her from what she

believes to be the truth.

For the last several days, she has continually fought me on the diagnosis

treatment of a young girl.

I can explain that. Please, let me finish.

So it is clear to me that Dr.

Sullivan has a lot to learn about being a GP.

But it turns out she's not the only one who has a lot to learn.

Dr. Sullivan's instincts saved the life of a young girl today.

And if I'm being honest, she was able to find a solution much quicker than I

would have.

That is why I hope this board approves her application.

Thank you, Dr. Carlson.

The board will take a minute to discuss your application.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I didn't expect that.

You were right about Tracy. She is responding to the treatment.

I'm very glad to hear that.

She's going to be okay, thanks to you.

And once the board approves your application, I want her to be your very

patient.

Thank you.

You earned it, Maggie.

Darsh Chef has epic meltdown.

I need to talk to you.

Fine.

What are you doing here?

Turns out the lunch rush was a bit more than I could handle on my own.

I may have said some words to the dishy, and he may have threatened to quit.

Well, learning his name might be a good start.

It's Ray.

Ray. Right.

Look, to be honest, lunch was a disaster without you.

And I can't handle dinner if you're not there.

Please come back.

Only if you listen to me.

Absolutely.

Okay.

I'll be there in a bit.

Thank you.

But I expect you to smooth things over with Ray.

You'll be doing the dishes too?

Okay. You're the boss.

It certainly looks like you're feeling better.

Thanks for helping.

I'm just glad we figured it out.

Once Tracy's released, she's going to need to take one of these three times a

day for the next couple of weeks.

So can I go home now?

Actually, I think you should stay for another day or two.

But I'm better.

No, I know. It's just, it's to be safe.

And anyway, we can't have you go back home until your mother gets the place

cleaned out.

And we don't want you getting sick again.

You don't get to tell us what to do.

You're not my mother.

No, but I am your doctor.

I would love to talk with her if she's here.

If we're not able to go home, what are we supposed to say?

I can give you guys a cabin at the crossing.

I don't want to live in a cabin.

I want to go home.

All right.

Tracy, you've got a little space, huh? Yeah.

Do you know where my markers are?

What was that about?

I think she's just upset about her mother.

What do you mean?

Well, from the looks of things, she hasn't been to the house in quite a

Okay. Um... What do we do?

I gotta talk to Ben.

Get him to tell me the truth about what's really going on.

Okay. I'll wait here.

We've been working here since last night.

You should go home.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I'll go hide back with Ben a little bit. Okay.

I

cannot

believe how many fish you caught.

You know, you could have helped me clean them.

I am the one who caught him.

Can't do everything.

What?

You're lucky I'm in a good mood now that we know Tracy's going to be okay.

Will you please take these to the back and put them in the freezer for me?

MC, thanks for letting me know about Tracy.

Glad she's okay.

And I have some more good news.

What's that?

The board approved my application to work with Dr. Carlson.

Oh, that's wonderful.

You must be excited.

For a while there, I was worried things weren't going to go according to plan.

Oh, that reminds me.

Liam was looking for you earlier.

Did he say what he wanted?

Something about finishing up a conversation?

I'll stop by on my way home.

Hey, thanks for buying me lunch.

No problem.

I didn't realize how hungry I was.

Well, now that Tracy's feeling better...

I was hoping you could tell me the truth.

But what?

What's going on with your mother?

Hey, Ben.

You can trust me.

I just need to know what's going on so I can help you and Tracy out.

She gets depressed.

And sometimes when it...

Really bad.

She'll leave town for a few days.

If time's just longer, that's all.

She'll be back.

She always comes back.

Yeah.

Is there anyone else you can call?

I don't know, like an uncle?

Maybe a cousin?

She doesn't stay in touch with her family?

No.

We're going to figure this out.

Together. Okay?

Okay.

Ben, I'm glad I ran into you. Hey, Jeannie.

Jeannie Blissett.

I'm in charge of youth outreach and welfare.

I also run the summer camp Tracy attended.

Ah, Cal Jones.

Ben's been...

Working for me at the Crossroad.

You didn't tell me you got a job then.

I just started there, so... You here visiting someone?

Actually, I was just in with your sister.

The hospital reached out to me. They were a little concerned because they

haven't been able to reach your mother yet.

Uh, she was just out of town with her boyfriend, so she's on her way back in

now. But thanks.

Well, I'm really glad to hear that.

I'm going to go back and see Tracy if that's okay.

Of course.

Can I go get those markers that I left in the car?

Yeah. Sure.

Thanks.

He's a good kid.

He is.

So you brought Tracy to the hospital?

I did.

And did you speak to her mother?

No. Why?

I just want to make sure they're being cared for.

And if they aren't?

Then we'll have to consider other options.

Like what?

Foster care.

Well, I will do my best to keep an eye out.

I appreciate that.

Here's my card.

Thank you. In case anything comes up.

Yeah. Please, just let me explain, okay?

You told me that you loved me.

You convinced me to marry you, and then you left me, and I never heard from you

again.

Don't you want to know what happened?

Hey. Hey.

Hadn't said you came by.

Yeah, you know, um...

Actually, I'm kind of busy right now.

Thought you wanted to talk.

You leaving?

I just think it'll be the best thing for everyone.

You are just going to disappear again?

Me being here is not doing you any good.

I just don't want to hurt you again.

No, you don't get to leave without giving me an explanation.

Not this time. Okay.

Tracy?

Hey, it's Cal.

Can I come in?

Tell me they didn't. No.

I was done my assignment.

And I was headed back to the airport.

Back to you.

When... My vehicle was surrounded.

They pulled me out of the car.

They put a hood over my head.

And they drove me out to a holding area.

What?

I was taken hostage.

And I was held captive for three years until I was finally released.

The scar is on your back.

It's okay.

You didn't know.

All these years I thought you abandoned me.

I was the one who abandoned you.
