Previously on Best Medicine.

So, you want to leave the big city to come be our small town doctor?

Welcome to poor Wayne, Dr. Best. Get out of here. Go. I find the people here far

too chatty. Louisa dumped me two weeks before our wedding.

You've been mooning over her ever since the first day you got here.

Hey, Louisa. Does it make a fist?

Is something wrong?

Doctor who's afraid of blood.

I could be really helpful to you.

You have an employee taking blood without a license.

A medical board won't like that.

They're going to investigate you.

What kind of doctor am I? You just saved that little boy's life.

I'm happy to pretend it never happened. I don't have time for drama because I

want to have a baby.

I know a specialist that you'd want to talk to. How do you know Martin? We used

to date.

When's the best time to tell your kid that he's not your kid? You know what I

saw fishing?

Sea urchins. For miles.

We're going to be rich.

I looked online.

A sudden deafness. It's a real thing.

It could be bacteria or even a brain tumor.

Well, I hate to have to say it, but it does look like a tumor.

Extremely large.

Yep. We're going to have to amputate from the neck up.

What? Tommy, the next time you don't want to go to school, just hide in your

attic or run away from home. Keep me out of it. What? Goodbye.

Out.

Out!

How long are you going to be here today?

As long as I feel like.

You do realize I'm a highly celebrated surgeon who's vastly overqualified for

this job. I certainly don't need a monitor.

I'll be the judge of that.

Literally, that's why I'm here. And where did you go to medical school

again? Cayman Islands Institute of Medicine.

Right, I don't remember seeing you at Harvard.

And you know what's funny?

Hmm, what's funny?

Now, it's my job to decide whether you keep your job.

I tell you, these little bastards are about to be the death of me.

Last year, I'm exhausted.

What are you two grubbing about? It's like we have an ATM in the middle of our

harbor. And I can't stop making a withdrawal, even if it kills me.

You know, I really could use a day off. Sorry, son, that tuition isn't paying

itself. But I will treat you to the lunch at the Salty Breeze, huh?

Nope. Not hungry, Bert.

So... How long are you going to give me the cold shoulder? A month? A year?

Yeah.

Are you even going to say goodbye to me before you leave for Columbia?

No. No, no.

You did lie to me about not being my real dad for, like, my whole life, so...

You know, I got to pick up Judith at the hospital, so I better, uh...

He's up on him right now.

He's up.

Hey, send her our love, hmm? I will.

Ah! Ah!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Craig!

I've never had to wait this long for a damn table. Hey, we were waiting too. We

drove all the way from Portland for the uni. Well, I've been coming here 18

years for the lobster roll. Oh, really?

Honey, it's okay. These people are what make this experience so authentic.

Authentic?

I'll show you.

Authentic! I'll show you!

Oh, Clyde.

Clyde, how many times have I told you?

Oh, my goodness.

You're so beautiful.

Oh, yeah.

Oh,

she's adorable.

Oh, well, the next port when, baby, it will be yours.

Oh, here's hoping.

Cute little nugget breed. Congrats.

We would have made a cute one, but you were right. Too complicated.

Later, gator. Thanks for the rattle. Yeah.

Damn, this new config, still not feeling it.

It's the perfect vacation for couples, families, and kids of all ages.

So, Port Wen, are you coming to visit?

Brought to you by the Port Wen Town Council.

I told you that girl was a star.

The smartest thing that the council ever did was make her the face of Port Wen.

Elaine on TV!

Fights in our restaurant.

A whole new world.

You're next.

Oh, hello, Louisa. Hello.

May I see you?

I just wanted to say goodbye before I head back to Boston.

Oh, good. I'm glad.

Not that you're going. I mean, saying goodbye.

This weekend?

Mm-hmm.

It was... nice.

It was? Mm-hmm. I'd say things have been going... well.

I would say the same thing.

Now, should I start looking for apartments for you in Boston?

What? Why would you say that?

Uh, isn't that the plan?

To get off probation, go back to Boston, be a surgeon again?

Well... I mean...

After all that gets sorted, what exactly is keeping you here?

Louisa. What?

No, I don't even know why you would say that. What do you mean? I still need to

see Louisa. So is it okay if I see her here? Oh, yes.

Yes, of course.

Thank you. Absolutely, of course.

How many times do I have to tell you?

You're an old... bag of bone you need to retire why can't you be like the other

old ladies finally you agree with me like to sell the boat and take up

mahjong too trendy what

is that a person what

hey wait martin

I've seen a lot of things in my day, but this is a first.

What's wrong with her? She's suffering from minor exposure, but other than

that, she seems okay.

Seems kind of fishy to me.

Hey, you okay?

You're safe. You're safe. Just whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You're okay. You're

safe. You're safe. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Call a sheriff, Mark. Okay, I'm going.

You ready? Oh, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting. Oh, no, please.

Leaves me having to go all the way to Boston.

Anyway, you know the drill, so we're just going to do a quick blood draw.

Okay. And check your levels.

Okay. Yeah.

So how are you handling the shots?

Is there anything I should know about?

No, no.

I'm a little tired.

Insurance isn't covering all of this, so I'm having to pick up other work.

Understood. Any doubts, fears?

You can tell me.

People find me very easy to talk to.

No, uh, no. Ever since I decided to do it on my own, uh, I have had no doubts

whatsoever. Clear skies ahead.

I admire you.

You know, letting go of the fantasy.

Fantasy? Oh, you know, falling in love, getting pregnant, the perfect man

holding your hand as you push out your baby, all that nonsense.

Yeah, that sounds... So crazy.

I can't even tell you the amount of women who held out for the husband and

the baby, only to find themselves at 50, barren, swiping on hinge.

Hey, I love our girl talks.

Samesy.

I was going to say, where have you been?

Boat christening and then a photo op at Carla's bait shack.

Doc said that I could go.

I might be making that last part up. It's fine. Who am I to interfere?

If you don't want to interfere, why did you renovate this entire office? Tell me

that I have to dress like a dental hygienist.

I mean, nice improvements, I would say.

This place looks like a doctor's office.

Yes, and you look like someone who works here.

I want to remind you that Martin is in this mess with the medical board because

things get a little too loosey-goosey around here. By loosey-goosey, do you

mean helping Doc when he needed me?

Oh. Oh, I need to go. I actually do need to go now. Couldn't agree more.

Nah.

Nope.

Nope.

Now, this one looks like marriage material.

She's got gravitas.

Nose like an emperor.

I don't know. Come on, Marky. Time is running out. Tick-tock, tick-tock. Mom,

I'm not that old.

Not for you, sweetheart. For me.

My biological grandmother clock is ticking.

I want some more little Markys running around out there.

I don't know. All the women I'm meeting are great. It's just I'm like... I'm

like looking for one that makes me smile so hard that my face hurts, you know?

You sure?

Happy-go-lily 33 couldn't make that gorgeous face hurt?

Okay, maybe I should just marry happy-go-lily 33, give up on the

whole... Marky, you're too young and too brilliant to give up on anything.

No, maybe I should just grow up, forget about the fairy tale. Maybe it doesn't

exist, you know? Hello?

What?

Okay.

I gotta go, Ma.

Someone just found a mermaid.

Is she okay?

I mean, why is she...

Dressed like this?

I don't know.

Why are you dressed like that?

She appears to be just extremely exhausted.

Did you call Bar Harbor?

Yeah, they're busy.

What do you mean, busy? They had four ambulance teams, and now it's down to

two. Great. Well, I'll just take a number and hope we live. Dr. Best, may I

speak to you?

Don't take your eyes off of her.

Your fridge is empty.

Actually, it was full until you... I'm leaving, and I wanted to do a little

check-in.

Mm-hmm.

So far, you're doing very well.

Your practice has run impeccably, and no sign of any major impairment from your

little phobia. I'm so pleased.

Now, we have three more months left together, and as you know, my report

factors heavily into the board's decision about your license.

As you remind me, every week. So, maybe some tuna fish, sardines, sour cherry

juice, and a stream of whoopie pies.

I'll be back.

When you least expect it.

You know, here's the thing. I will expect it because you just told me.

Dr.

Bess? Peter.

I'm not late for school.

I just wanted to talk to you for a second.

Okay, what is it? Is that lady still here?

The one who eats? No, she just left. No, the one who smiles and says, what's a

boy and a dirty dog doing in a doctor's office?

Oh, no, she's gone too.

Phew.

Copernicus is really unhappy.

Oh, why's that?

Now that that lady's not letting him hang around here anymore, Copernicus is

really missing you.

You used to spend a lot of time with him, and now you're not.

Hmm.

That is sad.

But I think Copernicus needs to realize that part of life is that things

change. You don't miss him?

I think maybe Copernicus shouldn't be hanging out with me.

I think maybe he should be hanging out with dogs his own age.

Forget you.

Peter. Come on, Copernicus. Stop. She's alert.

My name is Dr. Martin Best.

What's your name?

Can you understand what I'm saying?

Good. Can you tell me where you're from?

Would you like to try some water?

Oh, okay.

That's a new one. That's fine.

Let's go home.

Whoa.

Whoa.

It is a mermaid.

No, Mark. Of course it's not a real... I know. I know. No.

I'm just like... What am I, like five? A bit like... Whoa.

I'm Mark.

Hey, are you thirsty?

What's your name? That's actually not a good idea.

What did I do?

We need to examine you and get myself dry and try to find my dignity.

And you, my assistant Elaine, will get your clothes.

It's so beautiful.

That's her mermaid language.

Ding, dong, dong.

Mark. Yeah, I'm just trying to meet her where she is, Doc. That's not... Okay,

there are no signs of a stroke or anything neurological.

Can you try and speak again?

Goop-a-hoof, bend-a-yo-ba.

Doc,

what's happening? She's having a seizure. Help me lie her down. All

right.

Okay, her blood sample is being tested. What is going on? Yeah, is she under an

evil spell?

Mark, how many times do I have to tell you? Probably a few more. I just like

the idea, okay?

Okay, look, I think she has hypermetremia.

Elevated sodium from ingesting salt water. It would explain the odd behavior

and seizures.

Now, the good news is the IV fluid should take care of it.

Uh, where did she go?

She just had a seizure. Why did she leave?

Mermaids don't have insurance, Doc.

You mean a mermaid?

Um, hello?

Doc, Sarah, Judith is home. She needs help with her oxygen tank. It's not a

good time. Martin, you promised when Judith came home from the hospital that

you would help us. I can't be everywhere at once, Aunt Sarah.

Don't worry, I'll find her. She couldn't have gone far. Okay.

She could be very sick, so don't waste any time being... You.

Got it.

Mermaid in distress.

Why am I smiling?

Here we go.

We'll have to try.

You see this? This is the second time this week I should sue myself

for unsafe working conditions.

Georgie.

Is it time for the walk-in?

It seems so.

This

is

extremely inconvenient.

Let's make this quick.

Oh, little Marty.

Polite as usual. I won't offer you coffee.

Good. I save my manners for people who actually follow doctor's orders.

No, you don't. But he does make a good point, Judith.

I've been telling you for years, you've got to stop smoking, you've got to stop

smoking, and now you end up in the hospital for two weeks with double

pneumonia. Yes, all right. I will not smoke at this table. I will not smoke at

this coffee pot. I will not smoke at this lamp.

That's what she's been doing since she got back.

Okay, I gotta go get paid.

It's just a little trick. Mind over matter. How about a nicotine patch

instead? Just show me how to use this thing, Mr. Busy Harvard Medical Degree.

You use this when you need extra help breathing.

But most importantly, this is compressed oxygen.

On or off, you cannot have an open flame anywhere. I got it. I got it. No

smoking. No smoking.

No smoking. I haven't had a cigarette for two weeks.

You think I'm a moron?

Absolutely, 100%, yes.

Mark, where was she found?

Where?

Okay, well, bring her to my office.

All right, no more smoking, starting now.

So her house actually exploded in front of you, and no one was hurt?

The level of stupidity in humans can never be overestimated, but she seemed

unharmed. Any missing persons report matching her description?

Ah, check, doc, nothing.

Mermaid lady.

Why'd you run away?

No.

Wait.

She's hydrated.

If she had hypernatremia, she'd be able to talk now.

The evil spell.

Stronger than we thought.

I want something bad to happen to this man. It was just a joke. It's not like

Axie thinks he's half fish.

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's all right. It's all right.

It's all right. Are those scales?

It could be neurosarcoidosis. You talking gibberish now, too, Doc? No,

it's a skin condition.

It can also affect the brain. It would explain her scales and her speech, but I

need to take a skin sample.

Louisa! The fish smell. I'm going to hurl. Oh, sorry.

Is it really that bad? I thought it was getting better. Well, it's not.

Those sea urchins, they're nasty.

Yeah, but, you know, renting out the barn for the processing center is...

keeping the school open and now that i'm principal i have to be thinking about

globally okay i really came in here to tell you the huge gossip gossip yes

tell me guess who's getting married who me oh my

god i didn't even know you were dating does this make you feel bad oh

no no No, of course not. I mean, why would this make me feel bad?

Well, because I know that you've been trying to get pregnant, so I can imagine

you're not doing a lot of swiping.

Uh, yeah, that's true. I'm not really thinking about that stuff right now,

so... Yeah, no, of course not. And getting pregnant is, like, a really big

deal. I should know. Oh, are you... Are you trying to get pregnant? No.

I am pregnant.

What?

It's not sarcoidosis, it's ichthyosis.

Her skin condition isn't what's affecting her speech. Mark, can you

please stop smiling? It's unnerving. I wish I could.

It's not happening.

Hey, lady.

Who are you?

I'm a mermaid.

Call the... What's your name?

Cecilia. And your last name? Mermaid. Your birth certificate reads Cecilia

Mermaid.

Okay. You mean you're like a mermaid impersonator? Yes.

That's it, exactly.

Like on one of those Broadway cruises?

Exactly.

Cecilia, what happened to you?

I drank too much and fell overboard.

Okay, time to go. Not yet.

Your skin condition, have you had it your whole life?

Yes.

First started on my face.

Even Santa wouldn't let me sit on his lap.

Is that why you ran out of the office?

Yes.

I've been made fun of my whole life.

Hey, is there any tartar sauce for those fish sticks?

People can be cruel.

Can I have my costume? I'm going. We need you to stay overnight.

We don't know anything about your condition.

That's cool.

Bye. No, you don't have money or ID.

Later.

Cecilia, I'm a doctor. I don't chase people. Good.

I feel perfectly... Uh-oh.

What's wrong?

Garbled speech, seizures, and now wheezing.

Maybe I'm allergic to this place.

Okay, here's your costume. I tried to get all of the kelp off. Ew.

Kelp me, right?

Wait. What?

Kelp. Is there any more on it?

Um, a little.

Why is that red?

Red tide.

What's that?

It's a toxic algae bloom.

If she was in the water long enough, it would explain your seizures, your

speech, and your wheezing. What do we do? What do we do? You just need to

inhale her. I have one.

But after that, no more running around, no more chasing. You hear me?

I'm gonna go home and get you some clothes.

Your people are very bossy.

You heard what happened to you?

Falling off of a cruise ship? Hey, did you do karaoke here?

You and I could duet under the sea.

I'm not legally allowed to sing that off the boat. I assure it all. Her job right

now is to rest on a single steel drum, understand?

Fine. You ruined my fun. Just don't tell Sarah we're doing this. I told her we

didn't have any room for Judith.

Good. You'd have to be a complete idiot to let Judith stay with you. So Sarah is

letting Judith stay with her. What?

How can someone so old have such bad judgment? I am not going to tell her you

said that. Look, could you just talk to her, please? We prefer Sarah Sons

flambé. Immediately.

I was just wondering, how could my day get any worse?

Well, that weird monitor still hasn't kicked you out of town?

She's unhappy with my snacks, but as far as my practice, A+. A doctor who's

afraid of blood? I mean, how's it even possible?

Because it hasn't kept me from being an excellent physician.

And Elaine has gotten her phlebotomy license. So I think it's time for you to

drop this obsession with me and take up a hobby.

Preferably something dangerous.

See, I enjoy knowing your secret.

Figuring out the worst possible time to tell everyone.

That's my hobby.

You know what, Doc? Maybe it is time that you just tell everyone before that

jerk does it. I can barely get these people to listen to me now.

I mean, what do you think is going to happen after they find... It's nothing

to be ashamed of. Ashamed? Did I say I was a...

I'm not ashamed. Come on, please.

Oh, hi.

Sorry, I didn't know you were working today.

Sandra's sick, so I'm just filling in.

How are you feeling?

We haven't had a chance. I'm feeling good. You know, a little up and down.

But I'm excited for whatever happens.

Good for you. I'm glad you're happy.

I am happy.

Yeah? Yeah.

All right. Well, okay.

Table five, baby.

What are you doing? You think I'm a cocaine smuggler? You almost blew up

your own home less than ten minutes after you got home from the hospital.

You're lucky you're not dead.

I admit that was not good.

And no one else would take you in. Trust me, I called around.

Well, that is hurtful. You have a mean streak, Sarah. Everyone says so.

Really.

What are you doing?

You are not doing a body search. I'm sorry, Judith. No, you're not. But I am.

You bet I am. What are you doing? Stop that.

Don't you try to get away from me.

You don't want me to find that cigarette.

Stop it. Stop that. Stop it. Stop it.

Now, how dare you help me. Stop it. I'm going to find it. Do you hit on a

jog, bro?

I speed walk.

How dare you?

You have befouled our friendship.

Oh, hi, girls.

Oh, thank God you're here, Geneva.

Sarah's turned into some insane dominatrix pervert. Oh.

She's here to keep an eye on you while I go run some errands. A babysitter?

Don't take your eyes off her.

Oh, come on. It'll be fun.

I'll catch you up on everything that's happened since you were in the hospital.

All right. Huh?

First off, we have a murder.

in town.

Oh, and I have a photo.

That's a mermaid?

No. That's a lung after years of cigarette smoking.

And I have colored ones, too.

Now look at these arteries.

You see all of that?

That's plaque.

And I have a poem.

Written by a woman who lost two husbands to cigarette addiction.

I will not murder Geneva.

I will not murder Geneva.

My shift is over, but that doesn't mean you'll be alone.

There's a dark energy in here.

Who are you?

Teenagers. Here to spend quality time with you. Actually, no.

Louisa said we'd get some extra credit if we volunteered with the decrepit or

whatever. So, which one of you is it?

What are you, a juvie, a punk, a ruffian?

She's so tragic, I'm into it, though.

Have fun.

Sudden alarm reminded me to TikTok tonight about how boring my life is.

So, has anyone ever been you for Halloween?

Breathe deep, girl. I get it.

me welcome home come on take a seat we're about to watch splash given the

circumstances of the day we felt very inspired well i'm gonna grab some

popcorn and scooch over okay are you out of your mind letting that lunatic stay

with you what was i supposed to do just let her sleep in the woods no because

then she would set our whole forest on fire she could blow your whole house up

is she in there now yeah but i checked everywhere and I mean, everywhere.

No cigarettes. And I got people up there with her all the time. This is reckless

and irresponsible.

It's also kind and neighborly, and I thought you were beginning to get a hang

of those concepts, but it seems like a certain somebody has just walked you

back a couple of steps.

Well, what's that supposed to mean? I thought there for a while you were

really getting the idea about living in community, being a part of a small town.

You were changing.

Exactly. God forbid I just be me.

Hey, and for the record, that's what I like about a certain someone.

They never ask me to change. They don't make me feel like I'm always falling

short. They like me just how I am. And you know what? It's fantastic.

Then why don't you seem happy? Well, I am very happy.

Happy, happy, happy.

Oh, I'm sorry I had to see that.

Now, if she's going to stay in this house, then I'm giving her the house

rules first. That's it. No, I'm restoring.

He wasn't here.

Judith!

What the hell do you think you're doing? You almost took my eye out. I'm saving

the... youth of today and my sanity.

These teens are killing me.

Oh, my God. She literally just threw our phones out the window. I actually needed

an upgrade anyway. You children are horrible, and those phones are killing

you.

Why don't you read a book or see a play or find out who Igor Stravinsky is?

Oh, isn't he that weirdo who sits behind me in math?

Okay. No, no, that's Ivan.

Oh, no! Those children aren't enough to drive anybody to jump.

You do have a point.

Get out.

Judith,

if you're going to stay in this house, you will abide by all of Aunt Sarah's

rules to the letter. Number one. I know. I know. No smoking.

No smoking.

No smoking. Don't you people realize? I don't want to smoke.

I want to quit.

But nothing is harder in this world.

Not childbirth.

or recovering from SARS, or even quitting heroin.

I had a big life.

What I'm trying to tell you is that I'm trying.

Haven't you ever had anything in your life that just kicked your ass no matter

what you did?

Something that you hate about yourself, but you can't change it?

A flaw you can't beat?

Something you have no control over and yet it just shapes your whole life.

Yes.

Then you understand.

I'm doing the best I can.

I'm sorry. I made a mistake.

I blew up the house and I regret it. And I regret all 730,000 cigarettes I ever

smoked, but I am trying.

I'm trying.

I will not smoke again. I will not smoke again. I will not smoke again. Why don't

we go outside for a minute?

I will not smoke again.

Maybe we or you can help her.

Maybe it'll be okay. Just reassure me that she has no access to any...

Absolutely. I mean, I practically strip-searched her. Do you think she

would be so stupid?

You should have looked in my jog bra.

That was, like, so inspiring.

Tom Hanks left everything he knew.

His family, the produce business, his ability to walk on land just to be with

her. Nothing is more important than true love. Nothing.

He realized he didn't want to live, like, a day without her.

He... was willing to leave it all behind.

Wait, wait, what are we talking about? Elle, how many times have we talked

about this? I cannot move to New York. Why? What are you talking about?

Sleeping in your dorm when I don't go there?

That's weird. It's creepy.

It's not creepy.

You're a celebrity now.

Maybe you could find an agent out there.

Who knows? Maybe you could get a billboard in Times Square.

Sure. From welcome to port when? Yes, exactly. Babe, you're nuts.

I am nuts. I'm so nuts about you, Elaine. Come to New York. Ew. Look, if

Tom Hanks is able to just leave his life on land, you can come to New

York.

I mean, I always thought that I would go with a better plan than that.

Yeah.

But... Yeah.

Okay. Okay.

Yeah. New York.

New York. You're saying yes to New York? Yeah, I was saying yes to New York. You

just said yes? No, yeah, I'll go to New York. New York?

New York? New York!

My turn.

I just can't believe it, your story. It's a miracle you're alive.

You should write a book, Surviving at Sea, A Fishtail.

Get it? Could you sing Poor Unfortunate Souls?

I just love that one.

What's happening?

Hi, Cecilia. I'm Mary. I heard you might need some clothes. And here, from my

son, Tommy.

Why are you all being so nice?

We know you went through a traumatic experience.

What else would we do? I also got you this prepaid phone. I'm sure there's so

many people you need to call.

Are you making fun of me? No.

Of course not.

Cecilia. Hey, Cecilia. Hey, can we talk for a second? I'd rather not. Maybe

tomorrow. Yeah, but maybe now's good.

Um, okay, see, so, um... Okay, so I checked around, and it seems like no

one is missing from any crews.

But there is a missing person report for somebody who fell off of a party boat

docking super close to our harbor. Okay, fine.

I... Was at a costume party. I got drunk and I fell overboard.

Yeah, there's nothing to be ashamed of at all.

Why'd you lie?

Maybe I wanted some privacy.

I don't know you or any of your weird gift-giving friends. I'm going upstairs.

Wait, did anyone ask about me?

Is someone coming to get me?

Coast Guard said that no one wanted to leave the party.

Well, you get the friends you deserve, right?

You just gotta meet some people who like you for you.

Who would that be?

You saw what I look like.

I've tried everything.

Lotions, herbs.

I'm on this Grizzio Fulvin med, even though I know it doesn't work.

Dating? Trust me, no one wants to get in these pants.

Oh. Well, Cecilia, what are you talking... Cecilia.

Hey, Doc, I gotta talk to you. I'm kind of worried.

For the last time, there's no evil sea witch. No.

Cecilia, I found out she lied.

She fell off a party boat while she was drunk. Not a cruise ship. And she's

saying how unattractive she is, and she takes...

Grazio something. Grazio Fulfan? Yes.

And then she said things that made me bummed out. Wait, she was saying she was

drunk.

That med would make you sick even after a tiny bit of alcohol.

Why would she lie?

I don't know. Why'd she lie about any of it? I feel like she has, like, really

low self-esteem.

Well, if she wasn't drunk, maybe she didn't fall off the boat.

What? Could she have jumped?

She does seem really unhappy.

She's alone right now?

Yeah.

I do not like doing this, but she really did seem upset.

Do you think she left out the window?

Hey, Doc.

Please don't look for me. I'm not worth the trouble. Do you think she could

given the circumstances? Yes, we need to find her now.

Okay I'll tell Elaine to call everyone we know to help us look for a runaway

mermaid mark. I know why would she go out the window?

Hello?

Where?

On my way. I'll call the doc.

Go Team Mermaid!

Yes!

This doesn't look so good. What's the plan? I don't know. I haven't done this

before. I know we need to keep it calm.

Hey, sweetheart.

What you doing?

Leave me alone.

Why can't you all leave me alone?

Well, because we care about you, and it seems you're upset.

Of course I'm upset.

I jumped overboard at a party, and my friends don't even care.

Well, maybe you just need some new friends.

Look at this.

It's disgusting.

Who would want to be my real friends? We would.

I can only guess what you say behind my back.

We don't say anything behind your back. We were just being friendly.

I'm going up there. Good idea. I'll keep her talking.

Cecilia, listen to me.

We all have things we don't like about ourselves.

We don't all wear it on our skin like you have to, but we all have something.

What are you talking about?

husband left me for my sister that i confessed to a murder that i didn't do i

was so embarrassed when i didn't get a call back to a school but i lied to the

entire town about it i had an affair and gave two men boobs i pooped

little plastic men twice i had my heart broken so

hard i thought that i was never gonna get over it but i did

to have a baby with me but that didn't seem like a good idea for a bunch of

complicated reasons but now i am trying to be a mom on my own and it's wonderful

and exciting but also it makes me feel bad because it feels like i'll never

find love again it's okay okay that was a lot listen to me sweetheart i blew up

two houses because i couldn't quit smoking that never happened to you

didn't i have a blood phobia

i get

Panic attacks at the sight of it.

Which is why my assistant Elaine was drawing blood without a license and now

my entire medical career is in jeopardy.

What?

Well, that's messed up.

This town is very strange.

Yeah.

But we mean well.

What are you doing here?

I don't know.

I just figured you'd want some company.

And for the record, I know you're not a mermaid, but you did make me believe in

happily ever after again. Like, I can't even stop smiling when I'm looking at

you.

Hey, what do you say I take you back down there, huh?

Yes.

See, you get the friends you deserve.

Blood

phobia?

How is it you never tell me that?

No more secrets.

Good for you.

Good for you, too.

I know.

I'm gonna check myself into a hospital. I need professional help.

You want me to drive you?

Oh, that was really something. Mm-hmm.

Can I bum a smoke?

Just one.

I'm kidding, Mr. Busy Harvard Medical Degree.

My blood phobia. It's

humiliating. Is there anything you can do about it?

I think surprising me may be a bit advanced.

We have three positive pregnancy tests, and they're all men.

I'm lactating. This is a ridiculous town.

Show us your stuff.

Everybody loves port when.

We're going to get you over that blood phobia so you can get the respect you

deserve. You didn't think he would stay here forever.

I was sure that Louisa and Martin were going to be together.

You're one of us, and you belong here.

I don't know. He hasn't been here for a while. Doesn't seem like he totally gets

us.

Were you serious about moving back to Boston?

Best medicine.
