Not sure everybody heard you.

I wasn't trying

Hey, hey.
Wait.

Okay, can we talk?

About options to get clean?

- Hannah.
You're a doctor.

You know what
you're doing to your body.

- Yeah, so, I know
that this can't last forever.

- Then why don't you want
to do something about it?

I can't just go to rehab.

Okay? I have a job.
I have responsibilities.

You can drop in and out.

There's a meeting at the church

All right,

You're doing great.

All right.
Let's see.

Kim, were you in an accident
prior to this one?

You have significant bruises
all down your lower back.

- Must be from the crash.

- It couldn't be
from the crash.

Bruises take a while
to turn yellow like this.

- [stammers]
Yeah, I fell last week.

On the stairs.
I forgot.

Kim?
I have to ask.

Did someone do this to you?
- No.

- Because if someone did--
- No, I fell.

- This awful rash.

It goes all the way up my neck.

It's all over my legs.

My gynecologist prescribed me
fluconazole last week

for a yeast infection.

Could that be related?
- Maybe.

- What about something
in my apartment, maybe?

Nina just moved in.

- Hadn't been cleaned

allergic to something.

We're gonna order some labs,

was diagnosed

as being in a persistent
vegetative state

at Norris memorial
after a bike accident?

- Yeah, about five months ago,
he hit his head.

- So, what brings you in today?

- I was changing Xavier's
clothes this morning,

and I noticed
a sore on his hip.

Maybe I left him
on his side too long?

I'm just worried it's infected.

- Let's roll him.
- Okay.

- We call that
a pressure ulcer.

Yeah, it does look infected.

Have you been managing
Xavier's care at home?

from the hospital

about four months ago.

- See the granulation
in the center?

We'll go ahead and clean
and dress the wound.

- Talk to me, Marty.

- BP's better.
He's gotten a lot of blood.

- Packed his liver crack
pretty well.

Bleeding should no longer
be an issue.

- I'm worried.

There's only 10 cc's
of urine in his foley.

Dark and brown.
I sent a sample for labs.

- Could mean he's in rhabdo.

Let's remove the drape please.

Nice and easy.

Yeah.
Leg's not looking good.

Muscle is dying and dumping off
into the bloodstream.

Lab report?
- CPK levels are high.

25,000.
- Whoa.

That does indicate rhabdo.

Leg's gotta come off
or it's gonna kill him.

Gotta talk to his wife.

- So, based on your scans
and neuro exam,

we can safely rule out
a traumatic brain injury.

But I do want to ask you again
about the bruising--

- I told you.
I fell.

- Hi, Mrs. Tyler?

I'm Dr. Marcel.

I'm the surgeon who operated
on your husband, Rick.

- How is he?

- He had a bad liver injury
and he's still pretty sick.

- So, is he going to live?

- Well, we got the bleeding
under control,

but my main concern
is his right leg.

The muscle is dying,
and it's poisoning his blood,

which in turn
is hurting his kidneys,

putting him in renal failure--
- W--what does all that mean?

- Rick's leg is making him
very sick.

It will kill him.

And I need your consent
to amputate.

- He has to lose a leg?

I--isn't there
something else you can do?

- I'm sorry.

- [crying]

He'll be so upset.

- Kim, I know this
is a lot to deal with.

- I...

I'm not--

I'm not sure what Rick
would want.

He might rather be dead
than have only one leg, he--

You sure there's nothing else
you can do?

- Not that I'd advise.
- Please, tell me.

- We could move him to the ICU

and do the best we can
to keep him alive.

That might give us some time
for him to wake up

and make the decision himself.

- Okay.

Let's do that.

- Every second we wait
increases the risk

of him dying
of multi-organ failure.

- I understand, but...

he should be the one to decide.

- Okay.

- I'll be back in a moment.

Hey.
- Yeah?

- I am not comfortable
with this.

That woman was abused
by her husband.

- You sure about that?
- Yes.

And in my opinion, she should
not be making this decision.

.

- What are the chances
Mr. Tyler

does wake up on his own
to make this call?

- Slim.

- Rick needs to have
his leg amputated.

And I don't think it's right
to have Kim decide

if he's been abusing her.

- Why not?

- Because it's
a life or death call.

And she's not in the right
frame of mind to make it.

She's too vulnerable,
and it's a decision

she'll have to live with
for the rest of her life.

- So, let me get this straight.

We're gonna take away the
legal rights of an abuse victim

because she was abused.

- No, it's more complex
than that.

I mean, considering
the emotional

and psychological burden
that Kim's been under,

I really feel like
the hospital should step in.

- She's his wife.

She's entitled
to make this decision.

- Then, you're in favor of him
not having the surgery?

- I'm in favor
of respecting the rights

of the next of kin to decide--

even if it goes against
what's best surgically.

- All right, I'll convene
an ethics committee.

Until then, do everything you
can to keep Mr. Tyler alive.

- Is this consistent
with a vegetative state?

You know what?
Send me his chart.

Okay?
As soon as you can.

- Okay.

- What was Dr. Charles
doing in here?

- Um, I--I thought he might
have some insights

into Xavier's condition.

Have you guys noticed that his
legs can stay up like this?

- We thought that was
part of his condition.

- Ms. Curry?
A word.

- Excuse me.

- Ms. Curry, you had no right
to consult another department

without clearing it
with me first.

- You were busy
and I had a concern.

I mean,
how do you explain Xavier's leg

staying up on its own?

- Probably just spasticity,

which is common
in a vegetative state.

- Well, I've never heard
of muscle stiffness

causing that
presentation.

- Look, this kid was brought in
for a pressure ulcer,

so that is what
we're treating him for.

- Okay.

- Nina, you ready
for a scratch test?

[both laughing]

I will give you two a minute.

The couple in Treatment 3

is having sex.

- [sighs]
I don't get it.

The E.D. is about the last
place I ever wanna have sex.

- I know.

- You know what?

God bless the couple that can't
keep their hands off each other

even in this place.
[chuckles]

- Yeah.

- What's going on?

- Dr. Lanik
is sending them home.

- Oh.

I'm Dr. Charles
with psychiatry.

I had been reviewing
Xavier's medical records.

And I think that
there's a very good chance

that he was misdiagnosed there.

- Misdiagnosed?

- Yeah, I--I don't think your
son is in a vegetative state.

Do you know how his joints,

they stay in the same position
after they've been moved?

- Mm-hmm.

- That's something
called waxy flexibility.

It is indicative
of only one condition.

Catatonia.

- Catatonia?

- Yeah, it's a--it's a
neuropsychiatric disorder

that can lead to paralysis,
but it's treatable.

- And this was caused
by the head injury?

- I'm suggesting that
this has nothing to do

with your son hitting his head.

- What's going on?

- He's saying our son
might be catatonic.

- Xavier was fully evaluated

before being diagnosed
as being in a PVS.

- Catatonia's
a pretty rare condition,

so without a psychiatrist
weighing in,

it's possible that
the doctors at Norris

weren't even looking for it.

- Yeah, but Xavier
fell off his bike.

He hit his head.

- Yeah, but the scans
were inconclusive,

meaning that there was
no clear brain injury.

Look.

I think that
I can help your son.

But in order for me to do that,
he needs to stay here.

- Look, I'm just trying
to spare you a bunch of tests

your son doesn't need,

so you don't wind up
right back where you are.

- Wait.

- Yeah.

- We're staying.

- All right, well, he is
discharged from my service,

so, Dan, if you wanna
admit him to yours,

be my guest.

- Put him back
in his room please.

Nina, can you hear me?

We need to intubate.

Bolus her a liter of NS,

Pressure's still soft.

- All right,
keep the fluids running.

50 of Benadryl IV,
start racemic epi,

and give her another dose
of epinephrine IM.

- What caused this?

- Catatonia only freezes
the voluntary muscle groups,

not the involuntary ones

like those that
help us breathe.

So if I'm right,
and Xavier is indeed catatonic,

he does not need
the ventilator to breathe,

and we can disconnect it.
- Wait.

But isn't that dangerous?

The doctor said
he'd die without it.

- They said he wasn't, uh--

what's the expression?

Protecting his airway.

- He has a trach--

that we can always

reconnect the vent if needs it.

Xavier?

My little boy!

- What does this mean?
What do we do now?

- Well,

probably not a bad idea
to try and figure out

what put him into a catatonic
state in the first place.

.

- So the first doctor
to explain catatonia

about 150 years ago,
Dr. Kahlbaum,

described it as,

"immobility induced
by severe mental shock,"

like an emotional trauma.

- Well, I mean it's like a--

like a deer caught
in the headlights.

But instead of bounding
into the forest,

they stay there, frozen.

- What, like PTSD?

I'm a cop.
I've--I've seen PTSD.

It doesn't look
anything like this.

- And there's been no trauma.

Xavier was always a happy kid.

- Okay, you mind telling me
a little bit more about--

about your home life?

- It was good--

before this happened.

I mean, there have been
some rough patches.

My ex, Xavier's father,
left us high and dry

when Xavier was a little boy,

but we got through it.

And then Alvin came
into the picture.

- Yeah, we started dating
five years ago.

We've been living together
for the past three years.

- How about school?

- Xavier's always been
a good student.

Loved reading.

- Friends?
- Lots.

I used to take them all
to White Sox games.

- He did watch this movie
"Poltergeist"...

[phone vibrates]
Which gave him nightmares.

But that was a few years ago.

- Unlikely that one movie's
gonna induce catatonia.

- I have to take this.

I'm working a task force
with the DEA.

Sorry.

Alvin here.
Yeah.

- How did Xavier feel about,
uh, about Alvin's work?

- Alvin's always
been good about

not bringing it home
with him.

He took all the precautions.
Keeps his gun in a safe.

- But still,
did he ever talk to you

about how he felt about

the fact that Alvin
was a police officer?

- Xavier's a 10-year-old boy.

Alvin being a cop is like

having a superhero
sleeping down the hall.

- Mm.

- Why would you ask that?

- Just trying
to get some background.

- Alvin's the best father
figure Xavier could ever have.

You don't have to worry
about that.

- Hey, why did you stop?

It seemed like you were
on to something.

- I think we're getting
to a sensitive area here.

So I just like to,
you know, take a pause

before we push forward,

but Alvin's work life

is absolutely something
we want to look into.

- Nina's stable for now.

- It doesn't make sense.
The antihistamine was working.

- So she must have been
re-exposed to the allergen.

- I guess we can move her
to a clean room.

- But she had the rash before
she even came to the hospital.

gotten that scratch test.

but they were indisposed.

Before I could get
back in there, she crashed.

- Indisposed?

What do you mean, "indisposed?"

Were they having sex?

- Yeah.

Harlan,
I'm not here to judge you,

but I gather you and Nina

- Um, I'm sorry
you had to walk in on that.

- Did you finish?
- Jeez, man.

- It's pertinent, Harlan.
We need to know.

- Did you ejaculate?

- So after reviewing the
details of Rick Tyler's case,

the ethics committee
has decided to take away

decision-making rights

- Kim's choice to wait
on amputating Rick's leg

puts his life
at unnecessary risk,

to talk again.

What about their privacy, Elsa?

- Alvin's not the patient.

I mean, it's not like I
violated anyone's HIPAA rights.

in fact, debatable,

but you definitely
violated their trust.

This family's in a very
delicate place, Elsa.

They--they need to feel like
we're on their side,

out the door.

She's the Executive Director
of Patient Services.

with your husband's amputation.

- But I said I wanted to wait!

- The hospital believes it's
in your husband's best interest

to take control
of his medical decisions.

have to be responsible

Let us help you.

I might learn something

that could be helpful,
but I--

I overstepped, and I'm sorry.

Why would you be
checking up on me?

- Ms. Curry made a mistake--

a serious mistake.

I just hope that you'd
appreciate that

what she was trying to do was
gain a better understanding

of Xavier's situation so that

we can give him
the best possible care.

- And I hope she learned
what a good man--

what a good cop--Alvin is.

- Matter of fact, she did.

You have an outstanding
record, Detective.

You took out the
Southside Ministers gang

on your own?

- Eh, I had a lot of help.

- Hmm.
Sounds intense.

I mean, they put
a hit out on you.

They blew up your car.

- What does this
have to do with anything?

- Well, it just sounds like
a pretty monumental event.

Do you think that
there's any chance that

Xavier could've been
aware of it?

- I don't think so.

The car was parked
around the corner.

- So, he didn't witness
any of it?

- I mean, he may have seen
the wreckage towed away.

- There's no way he could've
understood what happened.

- But I'm sure you were
probably pretty upset, Vanessa.

You think that he could've
picked up on that?

- Alvin moved out after that.

He stayed away while there was
an active threat against him.

- Mmm.

- Just out of curiosity,
when did he move back in?

- Uh, it was about a week
before Xavier became catatonic.

procedures you could do.

We'll also set you up
with an allergist.

There might be some methods

to help you build up
a tolerance.

- With treatment,
your sensitivity may lessen.

Meanwhile, you can go back
to having sex with condoms.

- Hey, you two obviously
love one another.

You'll work this out.

Just keep an EpiPen
on your nightstand.

- You know, walking in
on them like that

got me thinking, um...

Ever since we started IVF,

I feel like
the only time you touch me

is when you're injecting me
with hormones.

- You're right.

How about we have
a date tonight?

And stay home?

- I'd like that.

- Come in.

- I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to intrude.

- You got a minute?
- Of course.

- Um...

You were right.

My job.

I do bring my work
home with me

whether I want to or not.

And Xavier knows that.

[scoffs]

"Do the bad guys
know where we live?"

He asked me that once.

And I told him
that they didn't.

But the fact that
he had to ask...

I mean, kind of says it all?

Doesn't it?

- Yeah.

- My job is to protect people.

And if I can protect my...

my son

just by stepping aside,
then that's what I'm gonna do.

- Look.
Alvin.

If you feel you need
to get a little space

while Xavier's
coming out of this,

while he's recovering
his faculties,

maybe that's not a bad idea.

But,

as soon as he's ready
to start the therapy

that he needs
to process his fear,

you need to be
right there next to him

so you can heal together.

And--and move forward.

- Like as a family.

- Yeah.

- [shaky inhale]

Is he going to wake up now?

- Well, after the surgery,
and all the drugs,

it'll be a while
before he does.

- Okay.

This might sound crazy, but...

I think he really does love me.

- That's not crazy.

A social worker
will be by shortly

to talk to you
about your options.

- Thanks, Dr. Manning.

- Dr. Manning.

You remember our social worker,
Arlene Baker?

- Yes, hi.

- How's Ms. Tyler doing?

- She's anxious.

- Understandable.

I think I can allay
some of her fears.

[machinery beeping]

- No pulse.
He's in PEA.

Starting compressions.

Milligram of epi.

[sustained high-pitched beep]

Why's his ventilator off?
- I did it.

- How is this
happening so fast?

- He's in multi-system
organ failure.

He had no reserve.

- Still no pulse.
Another milligram of epi.

[breathing heavily]

Asystole.

Time of death.

18:08.

- [gasps, shaky exhale]

.

- I don't understand.

She had options.

- Oh, I imagine she
couldn't stomach the idea

of looking over her shoulder
the rest of her life

waiting for her husband
to get even.

- I thought we'd reached her.

- Oh, considering
what just happened,

Kim might have run
that red light

this morning on purpose.

And if she was willing
to sacrifice herself

to stop her husband's abuse?

I doubt there was any way
to reach her.

- Dr. Charles!

Look, he's moving.

Xavier, honey?
Can you hear me?

What do you want, baby?

You thirsty?

- Um, I can go get him
some ice chips.

- [gasps]

[cries, laugh]
Mommy's here.

I'm here, baby.
[sobs]

Mommy's here.

♪

- Did he wake up?

- Yeah.

Looks like he's
coming out of it.

- [voice breaking]
That's my boy.

Um...

Will you send Vanessa out here

when the time is right?

- Absolutely.

- Hey, you good?
I heard what happened.

- It was awful.

- A lot of fine surgical work
went to waste.

- Really?
That's all you have to say?

- No, actually,
I'd like to add

that if we just let it be,
he would've died on his own.

Hey, you can't kill someone
who's already dead.

Can't even be tempted.

- Is that why
you were so adamant

about having Kim decide?

- Let me put it like this.

A victim of abuse
is being hauled off to jail.

And in my opinion,
that's a lousy outcome.

I'll see you tomorrow, Natalie.

♪

- That was a good catch today,
Ms. Curry.

- [sighs]
Yeah, right.

- Yeah, right?
Look, if it wasn't for you,

Xavier might be back home

on a vent
for who knows how long.

Really good thing that
you piped up when you did.

Good work.
Well done.

[mellow music playing]

- Asking a junkie
to meet you in a bar.

Not exactly sensitive.

- I guess not.

- Uh, just a water for me.

Sit.

Look, I'm sorry about
this morning.

I may have overreacted a bit.

- That's okay.

Hannah,

I can't let this go on.

- Hmm?

- If you won't turn
yourself in--

- Look, I thought we had
an understanding.

- I quit the injection site.

- I thought that it meant
so much to you?

- Not more than this.

- I never would've
turned you in.

I just--I got--

desperate and scared.

But you can't...

You can't possibly know
what it's like.

Every day I say
I'm gonna quit and yet--

- Hannah.

You don't have
to do this alone.

I'll be there.
I'll help you.

What?

- You care

about me.

- I do.

I do care.

- I will turn myself in.

First thing in the morning.

- I can go with you.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- [chuckles]

Yeah, I'd like that.

- Okay.

- Come to my place?

- Hey.

Check it out.

- Looks good.

- Now we just have
to set up the nursery.

But in the meantime...

How about that date?

[light romantic music]

♪

Hey.

Everything okay?

- Yes.

Come here.
