- Previously on The Resident...
- If I hadn't gotten injured,

they might not have
caught my cancer in time.

- Your supplements have potential.
- You killed my pitch.

- You said Chastain doesn't take chances.
- They don't.

- I do.
- AUSTIN: So what's your plan

if Adaku's baby becomes
your responsibility?

MINA: I don't have one.

CAIN: Hawkins is a whistle-blower.
He's a threat to the hospital.

I'll handle it. Dr. Hawkins,
you lied to the transplant board.

You're fired. Give me your pager.

Thank you.

MAN: We're a high-volume outfit.

A lot of kitchen mishaps
and food poisoning.

Waiting room's packed 24/7,

- so ten minutes per patient.
- And if the diagnosis

isn't obvious, and it
takes over ten minutes?

We also take pride in
customer satisfaction.

Your bonuses are tied to it.

So... flexible prescribing,

- if you know what I mean.
- (LAUGHS)

Patients hate being told "no".

Yeah. Isn't that what contributed

- to the opioid crisis?
- (CHUCKLES)

And why did you say
you're not at Chastain anymore?

CONRAD: If it were easy,
everyone would be a doctor,

because this is the best job in
the world, despite everything.

Because of everything.

FLECK: How you feeling?

NIGEL: Pain-free.
First time in over a decade.

CONRAD: The transplant
team has been called in.

I will be with you
every step of the way.

(IMITATING POLICE SIREN)

CONRAD: I spent half my
life without a father.

MARSHALL: We're gonna fix that.

DEVON: These patients need you,

and I think this hospital
needs doctors like both of us.

CONRAD: God, I love
when you believe in me.

NIC: I never stopped believing in you.

DEVON: They're firing Conrad.

Good morning, everyone.

I'm Dr. Garrison, your chief resident.

Welcome, second-year residents.

You'll be getting
interns of your own today.

You will be their
mentors, their teachers.

Do not hesitate to work
them like pack mules.

The hospital relies
on their cheap labor.

No questions. There
are only two rules...

no one quits, no one dies.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Uh, Dr. Pravesh?

Ezra Dreyfuss, your intern.

Hey, Ezra. Welcome.

- And I'm Eline.
- Oh.

You didn't have to come.
Your son's in good hands.

- Oh, she's not my mother.
- I am also your intern.

Sorry. I-I wasn't expecting...

- You thought I'd be older?
- No, no, no. I... Of course not.

I-I meant...

There are two of you.

Eline, Ezra.

I'm thrilled to welcome you to Chastain.

You know, on my first day as a doctor...

Before you go all William
Wallace on us, I am highly

allergic to any form of nut or dairy.

If I come into contact with
either, I will drop dead.

Sorry. Please continue.

Got it.

Today will set you on the course
for the rest of your lives.

So, when there are tough times,

just remember why you
decided to be a doctor.

Eline?

You ever met an intern

who watched a loved one
die of an incurable disease,

quit work to become a caregiver,

drew inspiration from
the medical professionals

they met throughout the disease,

enrolled in medical
school and became a doctor?

If that person is you,
then... then, yes, I have.

That person is not me.

- (CHUCKLING): Oh.
- I was teaching math

to a bunch of third-grade
terrorists, and I was deeply

- inspired to get the hell out of there.
- Wow.

That's hilarious. Okay, my turn.

Pravesh, need you and
your children in Bay 3.

Thank you.

Odel. Dr. Pravesh.

If it's okay with you, I'd
like to have my interns observe.

(COUGHS) Of course.

So, uh, I've had this
cough for a few weeks now.

- Okay. Just the cough?
- Just the cough.

It's called an emergency room.

I know, but I'm going
to Cambodia tomorrow,

so I thought I'd have it checked out,

and I didn't want to end up
in some remote village clinic

if it got worse.

Okay. Let me take a look. Deep breath.

I backpacked through
Cambodia in college.

- You are gonna love it.
- Yeah?

I have been to England
once with the symphony,

and that's about it.

- Atlanta Symphony?
- Yeah. I play cello.

You ever play with Gianni Balissa?

- He taught me everything I know.
- Me, too.

I was honorary recipient of the
Sousa Band Award for the violin.

Let me guess. You're a musical genius.

Uh... yeah. Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

- (FOOTSTEPS RUNNING)
- HUNDLEY: Dr. Pravesh!

Scooter versus fire
hydrant, we need you.

Beethoven, you're with me.

Eline, I want you to finish doing

a full physical exam on Odel,

and report back to me when you're done.

- You have got to be kidding me.
- I don't think he is.

More than half of hospitals pay doctors

based on relative value
units instead of set salaries.

Think of it as capitalism.

The more procedures, biopsies,
test diagnostic surgeries

you do, the more money
you'll make; it's that simple.

So, what, are we car salesmen now?

Commission-based pay systems
lead to rampant overtreatment.

- I've seen it myself.
- You concerned we'll all see

how you really measure up, Dr. Austin?

Maybe you're not as valuable

to the hospital as you think you are.

Well, depending on your values,

you might be right, Dr. Cain.

This isn't a discussion, it's
Red Rock policy from now on.

You'll be paid for the
volume of work you do.

And quality is irrelevant.

CAIN: Nobody said that.

AUSTIN: Neither of you had to.

Don't worry, Dr. B.

You won't be out here with
the minnows for too long.

I can feel it in my heart space.

Ooh, sorry. Sorry, it's for my new boss.

BELL: What's the meeting about?

Just boring pay stuff.

Nothing like what's
arranged for you tonight.

Grayson, you don't run
my schedule anymore.

Well, my dad hasn't caught on yet,

and he called me to tell you...
now, don't hug the messenger...

but, Dr. B., you're
about to present 3B Life

to the U.S. of A.

So suit up and get camera-ready,
'cause you're gonna be on TV.

Oh, he got the spot on Montel?

Better. STV, baby.

Shopping Television?

I mean, this is incredible.
This could make our...

our supplement line an industry player.

It all depends on you,
though, so get that face ready

for the small screen.

There she is. Nurse among nurses.

It's so good to see you, Finn.

Oh... How's the book coming?

Published. Yeah, and not
self-published, either.

Real published. Smell the ink.

That's amazing. Congrats.

I hear you and Hawkins
live together now.

Sounds like Dr. Feldman
gave you an update.

- I hope he's a tidy roommate.
- Mm, getting there.

(BOTH LAUGH)

- Yeah.
- Wow.

All the details of the life of Finn.

Flip to page three.

_

(SIGHS) I'm pretty
sure you're responsible

for beating the odds.

Uh, where's Conrad? I've got
a copy for him, too, so...

He's not here anymore.

No, he practically lives here.

Well, I'm covering for him.

Which means I have your test results.

I wish I had better news.

I've reached my final chapter.

My lung function's deteriorating,

which means I'll be on
a breathing machine soon,

and then will go the way of
all my friends with Duchenne.

I am so sorry.

Well, bad news is no stranger
when you have a body like mine.

I know where I am.

Which is why I'm here.

I want to do something crazy

with the little time I have left.

What are you planning, Finn?

(PHONE BUZZING)

- Hey.
- Hey.

One of your favorite
patients is here. Finn Niver.

- How is he?
- As feisty as ever.

But, um...

This is the end, isn't it?

(SIGHS) Yeah.

I need to see him.

Well, that can be arranged.

You know I can't set foot inside there.

Well, not at Chastain.

There's something that Finn wants to do,

and he needs a doctor to do it with him.

I'm listening.

How do you feel about space travel?

(ELECTRIC CHAIR WHIRRING)

(FINN CHUCKLES)

FINN: You eat, sleep,
and breathe this place,

and the day I need you most,

I find out you don't work here anymore?

What happened?

Ah, it's a long story, Finn.

Someone was a bit

cagey on the phone about
why I'm needed, so...

All I said was it's a
beautiful day to ditch gravity.

Good one. Nice work, Nevin.

What are we talking about? Skydiving?

Hell no. I have been tied to this chair

since I was five years old; I want out.

I want to fly. I want to
float like I own the place.

In zero-g.

Zero gravity?

I sent a pandering letter to the company

that does zero-g flights,

and they gifted tickets for
me and a doctor of my choosing.

So, you in?

Guys...

it is definitely crazy.

Which is exactly why I'm in!

Yes! Oh, let's do it.

I know this is as much
for me as it is for Finn,

and... I appreciate it.

I had nothing to do with
it. It was all Finn's idea.

- Have fun.
- (PAGER BEEPING)

Mom calls them brain damage on wheels.

In her ICU in Boston,
a quarter of the beds

are always filled with scooter patients.

- So I got off easy?
- Because you were wearing a helmet.

So, how's it going with Odel?

He really wanted answers,

so I called Pulmonology for a consult.

Dr. Langford recommended a bronchoscopy

- just to be sure.
- He has a cough

with clear lungs and
a normal chest X-ray.

He didn't need a Pulmonology consult.

EZRA: The patient wanted one.

And he's about to travel.
I was in Nairobi once,

- caught this nasty parasite and, um...
- Both of you, follow me.

Okay.

(MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY)

Well, guess we're too late.

Can I help you with
something, Dr. Pravesh?

This procedure is unnecessary.

Step out, please.
This is now my patient.

- (COUGHING)
- (ALARM BEEPING)

O2 sat is dropping.

He's aspirating.

Turn up the suction. Get him on 100% O2

and abort the bronch.

- Wh-What's happening?
- He's choking on his own vomit.

No invasive procedure
is completely safe.

You have to weigh the
danger of a simple cough

against an unintended
consequence like this one.

Yikes.

He's stable.

- That's something.
- But he has to be admitted.

He's on supplemental oxygen

and will need antibiotics to treat

the aspiration pneumonia caused
by an unnecessary bronchoscopy.

He wanted answers. I consulted
an experienced pulmonologist

who suggested the bronchoscopy.

Which is a relatively benign procedure

- with good diagnostic yield.
- Stop.

It's simple.

You made a mistake.

You need to accept responsibility,

learn and move on.

You read Annie Diamonte's chart?

Yes. I recommend

you start with the good
news and finish with the bad.

Well, I prefer to close on the positive.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You know, we really have
to stop meeting like this.

You know, as much as I enjoy
seeing you, Annie, I agree.

I was really hoping that last chest tube

would have taken care of it,

but your CT scan shows
that you still have

what's called an empyema,

an infection between
your lung and your chest,

which is what's causing your fevers.

But there's good news.

We saw your scan...

... and no sign of cancer.

The immunotherapy is working.

What?

My cancer's gone?

(CHUCKLES): Yeah.

Well, you know, you really
should have led with that.

I was gonna tell you to stop
the drugs and let me go.

(CRYING)

(EXHALES) So... so what's the plan?

I mean, another chest
tube? New antibiotic?

Well, we are actually
here to talk to you

about another option. A decortication.

We open your chest, then
we clear the infection,

and we scrape off the peel
that's trapping your lung,

which is what's making it
hard for you to breathe.

What could go wrong?

NIC: Plenty.

This is a very high-risk surgery.

There's a high likelihood of bleeding,

which could be catastrophic,

particularly given the trauma

you've already been
through from the explosion.

And even if Dr. Austin

is able to do the surgery successfully,

your lung may never reexpand.

What are my alternatives?

I mean, I live my life
in and out of here,

sick and in limbo,
buy my time till I die?

I can't do that.

(CRYING): And if my
cancer's in remission,

I have a shot at getting my life back.

You do understand the risks of surgery?

Yeah. Well, whatever they are,

I'll take my chances. (CHUCKLES)

Oh, wow.

... for yourself or for someone else,

this is something...

I'm gone a matter of weeks,

you're in the servants' quarters,

and my son, one of the best
doctors at Chastain, is fired?

I'm not responsible for that.

Obviously.

Conrad is dodging my calls.

His way of asking me to stand down.

- Hmm. Well, stand down.
- My lawyers are submitting

a whistleblower suit.

You know how many are filed every year?

Whistleblower protection
is a joke in Georgia.

I'll tell you what'll happen.

Red Rock will sue you for
libel, and they may win.

So I'm taking advice from
a guy who's lost two jobs

- in two weeks?
- Yeah.

Being demoted by these
people is an honor.

How do we fight back?

Well, you got a slingshot?

Look, all due respect, don't
go down that path until you have

- a bulletproof strategy.
- Oh, I've got one.

Well, if you're hell-bent
on moving forward,

then I suggest...

you have a look at Logan Kim.

Thanks.

Dr. Austin.

Watch the coat. It's custom.

I don't like wrinkles.

Well, here's one. I'm
reviewing mortality outcomes

of all surgeons, and you're an outlier.

Your stats aren't up to par.

And as chief, your outcomes
are now my outcomes.

Come on, bruh. Everybody knows
that my outcomes are excellent

for the kind of cases I take.

My patients are the
sickest. My surgeries, risky.

Which is precisely my point.

Annie Diamonte's upcoming surgery
is too much of a long shot.

- You need to reassess.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold up.

You don't want me to do a
highly profitable procedure?

- The crème de la crème of RVUs?
- I'm only suggesting

that you have a plan B.

An escape hatch, so to speak.

Oh. So if something
catastrophic were to happen,

you want me to keep
her alive at all costs,

not let her die on my table,

- just to pad my stats.
- What I'm saying to you,

Dr. Austin, is that your statistics

don't meet what I
expect from my surgeons.

So, yes, you keep her alive at all costs

and don't mention a DNR to your patient.

As the plane descends, we'll
vary the flight profiles

so you can feel the
weightlessness of both martian

and lunar gravity.

So this isn't a free fall.

That's Kimmy.

She makes these crazy
videos in the best way.

She may be a living emoji. (CHUCKLES)

- Shh.
- SAFETY COORDINATOR: You'll also experience...

And that's Reggie Perez.

Retired Atlanta United
defender, 2015 to 2017.

CONRAD: Hey, you're in good company, Finn,
but they got nothing on you.

You're the real badass here.

Don't ever forget that.

SAFETY COORDINATOR: You'll
experience 15 simulations

in total in increments
of about 30 seconds a pop.

Most people think that
zero-g is only experienced

- when the plane is in a dive.
- Hey, Reggie.

Yeah.

I was MVP of the Golden Kickers

till my career ended at age five.

But mini-me could have
taken mini-you down.

I don't doubt it for a second, bud.

Well, once we're weightless,
it's an even playing field,

and I am coming for you.

(LAUGHS) And I'm scared.

I'll see you out there.

He said he's scared.

Does he look scared?

No.

SAFETY COORDINATOR: Of course
all the rush and excitement

- come with perils, like nausea.
- (CHUCKLES)

It's called vomit comet for a reason.

But there are also other
risks, including dizziness,

fluctuating blood pressure.

There are very rare but
very real complications

aside from the vomit issue, of course...

Are you scared?

You can change your mind.
It's totally fine if you are.

It's not, really.

'Cause then I'm gonna
spend the rest of my life

wondering "what if".

Means my final weeks would be
torture, and I can't do that.

SAFETY COORDINATOR: We'll
take those signed waivers now,

because it's time for zero-g, people.

- (CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
- (LAUGHS)

One thing, though, doc.

I know you've been through a lot lately,

and I don't want to make it worse.

Listen, if things go south up there...

like really south...

... don't blame yourself, okay?

I mean, the worst that
happens up there is I die.

And is zero-g really
the worst way to go?

No, it isn't.

We obviously want the
surgery to be a success.

But it's risky. So we have to ask

have you thought about

what you want if things don't go well?

I've thought about it a lot
since the cancer diagnosis.

You know, I-I love the outdoors

and the physical challenges.

A life hooked up to a machine
is no life at all for me.

So if that is my only choice,

I want you to let me go.

AUSTIN: Okay.

Well, then let's fill out
a Do Not Resuscitate order,

specifying your wishes

so that everyone follows them.

Before I sign that, can I have a minute?

Sure.

- (PHONE VIBRATING)
- (INDISTINCT VIDEO PLAYING)

Hey. Nic filled me in. I'm
really sorry I'm not there.

Yeah. I heard hints as to why
that is, and I don't like it.

- Conrad, are you okay?
- Right now, yeah.

How are you? I hear cancer-free.

- (CHUCKLES) Yeah.
- That's amazing.

It is.

Look, I know you're not
gonna sugarcoat this.

That's why I called you, Conrad.

I'm not sure I can do this.

Yeah, it's risky, and
I'm scared as hell.

- I know that.
- (VIDEO CONTINUING INDISTINCTLY)

I also know it takes a
special kind of superpower

to run into a fire to save a hospital

and kick cancer's ass
all in the same year.

So if anyone's got this,

it's you.

Thanks, Conrad. I really
needed to hear that.

Bye.

- (MONITORS BEEPING)
- (WHEEZING, GASPING)

What's going on?

He was midway through the cefepime
when he started to get wheezy.

Now he can't breathe.

- Sounds like anaphylaxis.
- A reaction to the antibiotics.

Push 0.5 of epinephrine I.M.
now and prepare an epi drip.

- And call the code team.
- (STRAINING): Help me.

We got you, buddy.

- DEVON: Hang in there.
- (RAPID BEEPING)

- Pressure's dropping.
- DEVON: Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Let's get the pads on him. now.

Come on.

Run the code.

What? No, I-I ca-I can't.

(FLATLINING)

We lost his pulse.

Starting compressions.

DEVON: This is your
patient. You made the call.

Run the code.

What's the first question
you ask in a code?

What was the rhythm before he arrested?

- It was PEA.
- What's the differential for a PEA arrest?

- Eline!
- I can't.

Step aside.

Hold compressions.

He's still in PEA.

Restart compressions. Push 1 of epi.

Let's move. I'll intubate.

(GRUNTS)

(WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY)

- I'll get the printout.
- He looks better.

Epi usually works
quickly when you give it,

but his blood pressure's still low.

- Is that real?
- DEVON: Maybe.

But the monitor's just a tool.

I'll need an EKG to know for sure.

I mean, what happened back
there? You just froze up.

(SIGHS) Call a Code STEMI.

Get him to the cath lab now.
He's having a heart attack.

- What just happened?
- It's called a clinical cascade.

When one unnecessary procedure

leads to many more,
increasing the risk of harm

- from complications.
- Which I put into motion.

You couldn't have known he'd
be allergic to the antibiotics.

- That's not her fault.
- From the time a patient comes in

to the time he is discharged,

he is in your hands.

This man came in with a cough, and now

- he might die of a heart attack.
- I will no longer be a doctor.

Not exactly. You're
cheap labor and Red Rock

- will be very forgiving.
- EZRA: Uh, Dr. Pravesh?

Do you have allergies too?

Your neck.

(GRUNTS SOFTLY)

_

- Ah.
- Slow down, Turbo.

Oh, I'm very close to injecting
caffeine directly into my veins.

When do humans figure out the difference

between night and day?
Because Adaku's baby hasn't.

She was fully awake
from 2:00 to 7:00 a.m.,

just staring at me.

Until I tried to put her down.

Then she wails like a banshee.

And she's supposed to
eat every two hours,

but what does she do
almost every single time?

Chucks it up.

Have you tried cuddling?

- What?
- Eating, bathing, sleeping...

it's all secondary to the snuggle.

It affects babies on a molecular level.

Literally changing
their DNA for the better.

It improves their neural
development, their IQ...

I got it. Fine. I'll snuggle.

See you in there.

(WATER RUNNING, STOPS)

Logan Kim. Marshall Winthrop.

I know who you are.

We both know why my son Conrad

was kicked out of Chastain.

He tried to do the right thing,

so you set out to ruin him.

I'm sorry.

Who are you?

I believe we've already covered that.

No, I mean, who are you, really...

the good guy you're
now pretending to be,

or the world heavyweight
champion of hypocrites?

I'm here to talk about my son.

Take your grievance elsewhere.

You think you can muscle me
with your power and fortune,

but I know how you made that fortune,

and it wasn't through
random acts of kindness.

To get on your high horse,
it was kill or be killed.

This isn't about me.

I'm making it about you.

James Willebrand.

COO of one of your first companies.

FCC came sniffing around.

But you made sure he paid
dearly for ratting you out.

See, I know where the bodies are buried.

And I will dig them up to
stink in the light of day

and bring you to your aging knees

if you ever challenge me again.

Don't tempt me.

MINA: Scalpel.

I-I can't see where to start cutting.

All right. Let's turn the lung over

Agreed. Now, Mina,
grab the peel with a hemostat.

Make sure you use the
blunt end of the forceps.

Okay. I got it. I see
healthy lung underneath.

AUSTIN: You know, Cain
was breathing down my neck

about my stats earlier.

He told me to keep
Annie alive at all costs.

Must be an open bed at the vent farm.

- What's that?
- MINA: Atlanta Promised Care.

That's where he sends
all his... "saves".

AUSTIN: Oh, so that's
how he keeps his stats up

and the money flowing. His escape hatch.

- That's one point of view.
- Is there another?

NOLAN: Well, for every ten
patients we send to APC,

maybe one might make it home.

Those aren't great numbers,
but it's a chance, right?

But for Cain, that's not what
it's about and you know it.

- NOLAN: Ah!
- MINA: Damn it.

- A bleeder.
- AUSTIN: Hey, Chu,

you get to work on her pressure, man.

And order up some more
blood. We're gonna need it.

MINA: There's too much
bleeding. I can't see.

- Chu, hang another unit, please.
- I've already used everything

we have up here, another
cooler's on the way.

AUSTIN: Suction.

Should we inflate the lung again?

No, it's not gonna help.

If-if she codes...

You let her go. To hell with Cain.

- But that's not gonna happen because...
- MINA: You have a plan.

AUSTIN: Of course I have a plan.

There's too much damage to the lung.

We need to remove the whole lobe.

Is that gonna leave her
with enough lung function?

It better. Let's get to work.

- Pressure's stable.
- AUSTIN: (SIGHS) Good deal.

All right, Dr. Okafor. It's all you.

- Show me what you got.
- With pleasure.

CONRAD: Let's hold him down.

Here we go.

(GRUNTING)

PILOT: Returning to Earth's gravity now.

Conrad.

Clear.

(BEEPING)

(COUGHING)

You're good. You're good.

He's back.

FINN: We did it. (LAUGHS)

- DOCTOR: Deploying the stent.
- Odel's clogged artery

is about to be opened, and this cascade

will transform into more of a trickle.

If he'd gone to a Cambodian
doctor in a village,

they would've given him a
tea and sent him on his way.

Instead he came here with a cough

and I gave him a heart attack.

And that is what's gonna
make you a good doctor.

Giving patients heart attacks?

Humility.

Acceptance.

Those are the main
ingredients in being one.

He might have coronary artery
disease that was undiagnosed

and exacerbated during zero-g.

Tell Dr. Feldman to give
cardiology a heads-up

- that a V fib arrest with ROSC is coming in.
- Copy that.

Reggie's gonna be okay, right?

I believe so.

FINN: 'Cause, you know, I'd feel weird

talking about how insanely awesome

- (CHUCKLING)
- that zero-g experience was, right, if...

He's in great hands. It's not weird.

Oh, dude, how freaking cool was that?!

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

I believed you when you
said we'd be floating,

but I guess I didn't really believe you,

because when we started to rise up...

You-you almost peed yourself?

- (CHUCKLING) Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah, me too!

Except for me wouldn't be
the first time, so no biggie,

but that was incredible.

Yeah. Yeah, it was. Thank you

for dragging me out there.
I really needed this badly.

Oh.

Hey. You okay, man?

I mean, really.

I was so happy.

I had my work and the most
amazing woman in my life.

They gave me purpose.

I don't know who I am right now.

Or who I'll be if I
can't be a doctor anymore.

I do know

whatever that version of me

looks like, there's no
way Nic deserves that.

No.

No?

No, you cannot let them win.

Medicine is money,

and money breeds jerks.

But you...

you got to knuckle up
and get your job back.

Hey, if not for yourself,

then do it for the patients
who are relying on you.

Get mad.

Go kick some Red Rock ass.

'Cause we are the Zero-G Brothers,

and nobody... and I mean nobody...

can keep us down.

All right?

Zero-G Brothers?

Yeah.

- (CHUCKLES)
- For life.

You know what?

Guys like us...

... find a way to beat the odds.

Don't get too excited.

She'll be off that vent shortly.

So you'll have to find another patient

to fill your open bed.

What's an empty bed cost you...

another overpriced painting?

I remind you that I am the chief.

And with your stats, you're expendable.

Well, I'd like to
remind you of something

you've apparently forgotten.

The sacred contract between
a surgeon and a patient.

That which distinguishes us
from all other physicians.

We cut people open.

We inflict wounds to make them better.

They trust us with their lives.

And I don't cut for the sake of cutting.

I don't do it for the
prestige or the cash

or the stats or the RVUs.

I do it for the patients.

I do it for people like her.

You must have been different once.

What happened to you, Barrett?

I was born the man I am
today, and I'm proud of it.

No. No, I... I think you're lying.

You encouraged this woman to sign a DNR

when I explicitly told you not to.

You will not disobey me again.

Or what?

You'll have me fired, like Hawkins?

Demoted, like Bell?

What's the endgame, Barrett?

You cut all your adversaries,

surround yourself with bootlickers

and those who toe the line.

Yeah, it'll work for a hot minute,

but I guarantee you it
will breed resentment,

corruption.

And eventually Chastain will implode,

and you right along with it.

I told him going to
the ER was a crazy idea.

It's a good thing he didn't listen.

It's just lucky it
happened here at Chastain,

where we have a
world-class cardiac team.

ODEL: That is lucky.

- (COUGHS)
- Honey...

Did the bronchoscopy explain
why I have this damn cough?

Postnasal drip.

Which is what I saw when I
first examined you in the ER.

But we needed the test to confirm that.

Did we?

DEVON: Antihistamines are
the first line of treatment.

If it's still bothering you, I'd say

talk to your primary care doctor.

but there's nothing to worry about.

- See?
- That's good news.

ODEL: Thank you...

for the great care.

Our pleasure.

ELINE: Why didn't you say anything?

He wasn't lucky to have
a heart attack here.

I gave it to him.

It is also my instinct to be truthful,

and I am, most of the time.

- So why not now?
- Because if we tell the truth,

you'll be fired for whistleblowing,

and another conscientious
doctor will no longer

- be helping patients.
- (SIGHS)

The lesson to learn is

the best and hardest thing in medicine

is often to do nothing.

We care for our patients
knowing full well

this is also a business.

The trick is not to get
caught between the two.

My first day was also a disaster.

And by the end of it, I
was questioning whether...

I worked way too hard to get here.

I have no intention of quitting.

Good.

No one died, no one quit.

My job here is done.

Oh, and you're not the only one to blame

for Odel's bronchoscopy.

The new RVU system is, too.

Radical virus...

- Relative value units.
- Oh.

That's why Dr. Langford
was so quick to suggest it.

Right.

- (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
- Well, today is the day

we introduce 3B Life
to the American public,

and I'll be damned if
you two handsome bastards

aren't just perfect for the job.

Just, you know, stick
to the teleprompter

and gold we shall be.

As they say on the boards of Broadway,

hatsloche un broche.

Break a leg.

MAN: (OVER INTERCOM) 3B Life,
you're up in one minute.

WOMAN (IN DISTANCE): We
have Dr. Randolph Bell

and Andrea Braydon...

- Ready to make history?
- You bet.

(APPLAUSE)

Hey, how's the big first day?

Mm, practicing medicine is hard,

but teaching it is a whole other beast.

That's the truth.

There's something else. I
need to schedule some lab work.

- Yeah? For who?
- Me.

What's wrong?

I've just got some pain under my ribs.

Stomach ache, and this rash.

And my fingers are...

Hmm, headache? Increased heart rate?

Yeah.

(SIGHS) I think you have RAS.

Resident anxiety syndrome.

(LAUGHS)

Conrad had it, too.

It's the anxiety of being
a second-year resident

responsible for others.

Can't say it ever goes away,

but you do learn to live with it.

- I hope you're right.
- I think I am.

Get some rest, Pravesh.

Forget about your interns till tomorrow.

- Mm.
- (GRAYSON WHOOPS)

Yeah! 3B For Life, people. I mean,

- we rocked America.
- BELL: Well, Andrea took the lead,

- I just... I followed.
- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah, what happened?
- No, it was great, really.

We had a weight-loss
story and a heroic tale.

Couldn't have planned it better.

Which is hardly a surprise, I'd say.

GRAYSON: Hey, what's going on?

You know, Grayson
told me about your day,

so I said I had to come by
and congratulate you in person.

Dr. Barrett Cain. Chief of Surgery.

- Um...
- Yes, I know. I know,

this is a hard act to follow,
but I'm doing my best.

Andrea Braydon.

Would you, um, like s... Oh.

Looks like we're running a little low.

- Well, we'll have to get some more.
- ZIP: Oh, great.

- Thank you very much.
- GRAYSON: That's-that's what I'm talking about.

- (GRAYSON LAUGHS)
- Uh, Dr. Bell. Word, please?

- ZIP: Well, cheers, guys.
- GRAYSON: Amazing.

- Mazel tov.
- ZIP: Mazel tov.

GRAYSON (CHUCKLES): Yeah.

You know, it's only a matter of time

before the board realizes
that you swiped an opportunity

from underneath them.

You rejected Andrea's pitch to them

so you could have the
investment all to yourself.

That's hardly what happened.

And it's a high-risk investment,

and one that Chastain would never make.

Hmm.

Well, that's not how I'm gonna spin it.

(SIGHS)

So what do you want?

I don't know.

A healthy percentage of our
growing supplement business.

And in return I'll just smooth
things over with the board.

Look, I have partners.

- Right.
- It's hardly my decision to make.

Yes, and I'm sure they will be thrilled

to add another prestigious
physician with the product.

And if anybody can
convince 'em, it's you.

Ain't that right, partner?

He's bringing it. Yeah. More bubbly.

(PHONE VIBRATING)

The answer is yes, I have
been dodging your calls.

I am well aware.

Guessing you heard I was fired.

You know, the truth is

I figured it would happen one day.

You're a rule breaker.

I've decided I'm not gonna
let them win so easily.

Son, I've gone toe-to-toe

with a lot of titans in my time.

These Red Rock people...

you're gonna have to bring

more than a slingshot to this fight.

It's gonna get ugly.

For all of us.

I just want to make sure you know

what we're up against.

I hear you, Dad. Thank you.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Missed you today.

I missed you, too.

It was a good day?

Zero-g with Finn is just what I needed.

- Oh, yeah?
- Mm.

Red Rock came for me.

Now I'm coming for them.
