As chief of medicine, it's my responsibility to know everything that's

going on in the hospital.

Give me the rundown, Francois. Okay, I moved Dr. Gupta's schedule so he's no

longer on but Dr. Baldwin, because as we know, they bangin'. I'm proud of Gupta.

He's really making the most of those new hair plugs.

And how's the new travel nurse doing?

The real question is, who is the new travel nurse doing?

She bangin'? She bangin'.

Girl, maybe that's why they call her a travel nurse, because she gets around.

Did I do it right? Did I read her for filth? Baby, I can tell you've been at

the library, because yes, you did.

Oh, hello, Elliot.

Thank you for that report, Nurse Dubois.

I know that was just a sex report. Then you know it's quite rude to interrupt.

How can I help? As you know, I'd like to do something bigger in my career, which

would lead to me being a trailblazer in my field, inevitably reaching celebrity

doctor status.

And then I'd be asked to pose in a sensible...

High-cut one-piece for the inspiring women's section of the Sports

Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. I'm confused how I can help.

J.D., you're chief of medicine, Turk's chief of surgery. I know I can do more

here, too. I agree with you. You're one of the best doctors we have, and I'll do

anything I can to support you.

This just in.

Gupta's wife found his text messages, and his hair has been unplugged.

Gupta's banging?

I can't tell you that, Elliot, but you can read about it in Francois'

newsletter, Dubois After Dark.

Which is being published now.

The hardest part of this job is being responsible for your friends in a whole

new way.

Sorry you got splashed tomorrow. Maybe next time say clamp.

I did.

Like four times.

But you told me not to talk until you finished reciting Oprah Winfrey's

monologue from The Color Purple.

All my life I has to fight.

Right about then is when the blood started spraying. Mimi, when's my next

surgery? In five minutes. Dr. Hooch is assisting, so don't be late.

I got a tea time, bitch.

Turk was taking on a lot of responsibility.

He was the hardest working man in surgery.

Do I got an appendectomy? Yeah.

Do I got a colon cystectomy?

Yeah.

Do I got a mortgage, three car payments, four college tuition, and a wife who

keeps hinting about retiring to a lake house?

Yeah. I do.

Hey, man, what's up? Nothing. I just noticed you've been taking on a lot of

extra work lately. Everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine. I'm just busy. I've also been seeing Raymond a lot

lately. I told you I don't like it when you name my head vein. I'll see you

later. Later, Turk. Later, Raymond.

Thank you, J.D. You know I only come out when Turk is super stressed out. Okay,

why does Raymond sound like Aaron Neville? Because it's the only

impression I can do.

I don't know much, but I know I love you.

And that may be all I need.

To know.

Wait,

all the sprinklers are supposed to go off, not just this one.

Like many Nepo babies, the new janitor couldn't quite live up to his brilliant

father. You know, if your father had done this, we'd both be soaking wet.

Probably underwater.

Now clean this up. Right away, Dr.

Dorian. I doubt your dad even knew my name.

Frickin' Nepos.

I know his name.

It's Dead Man.

Hey, your mom made you some muffins. They're not very good, but it's nice to

see her back on her foot.

I can't do this all on my own. No, I know I'm no Superman.

I'm no Superman.

Life had handed me a golden opportunity to figure out what was going on with

Turk. Hey, man, my office flooded. Do you mind if I crash here for a bit?

I don't mind at all, but I got a lot of work. Okay.

The thing about Turk, he would open up about anything as long as he was

throwing a ball around.

Oh, look, my sports ball that I love to throw spirals with.

I'm open.

You will be, old friend.

You will be.

How you doing?

Got a lot on my plate, and I've just been in my head so much lately.

Tell me about it. My arm already hurts. How did Giselle's ex-husband do this for

a whole match?

I have everything that I've ever dreamed of having. It's just, sometimes... Uh

-oh, he's putting emotional sauce on it. Come on, JD. You got this.

Rudy.

Rudy.

Buddy. Buddy. Buddy. Buddy, are you okay?

I got you in a trachea. Oh, buddy, I'm so sorry. I told you to stop watching

Rudy. That's my fault. I don't think you should talk anymore.

I can listen.

I can listen.

Look at me. I'm a mess.

A mess?

You're wearing the hell out of that blood, girl.

Slay. Or should I say, who did you slay?

Because of the blood.

Dude, crush on her more.

I'm not crushing on her, Blake.

I'm the chief resident, okay? It's my job to support all of my interns

equally. Hey, dude, you look like Weird Al. That makes people smile.

Am I crushing on Yankovic, too?

Well, I'm out of credits for the scrubs machine.

I have to go down to laundry and beg for an extra pair. Well, if you have time,

there's a guy down there who gives really good chair massages. Oh, that's

Kevin. He cleans the morgue.

He's got the softest hands in the world.

Cold. but soft kevin sounds great the blood is congealing on me hey okay let's

go tell kev i'll be down for my glutes after lunch thank you so much hey elliot

you know when we were married you said i never listened to you no what i actually

said was you know elliot please i'm talking that's siobhan sims okay she's a

board member if you want to do something big at this hospital you got to go to

her and i got you a meeting with her for today at 3 p.m but don't be late Today?

Dressed like this? My hair's greasy. I didn't take an everything shower. She's

gonna know. Women like that, no. Don't worry about that. Just tell her your

idea. Oh, definitely.

As soon as I have one. Elliot, I went to Siobhan Sims, okay? She is a very big

deal. Very rich. You know how a lot of billionaires are going to Mars?

She's headed to Venus.

You know, Venus, Elliot.

Okay, okay, off the top of my head.

Breast implants?

for your butt it's already a thing really how much are they elliot please

focus oh my god i'm sweating and she's looking at me tosh get over here quickly

ask me a question so it looks like i'm teaching you okay um asher wants to go

on vacation with me but i'm like it's too soon to spend five days cooped up

together right i was hoping for a medical question but i guess i could

feel that one okay so instead of staying at one expensive hotel room you're gonna

stay at a cheaper place secretly get yourself a second hotel where you can

conduct certain

Activities that he should never know anything about, i.e., a poop room. You

are a genius. Thank you, Dr. Reed.

Dr. Reed?

Dr. Dorian said you have a compelling pitch for me.

Yes. Looking forward to it. Great.

A poop room? Is that why we have so many Marriott points?

I come in peace.

Have you ever heard the song Cats in the Cradle? Sure. Okay, well, I hadn't until

last week.

It's an amazing song about cats. That's not... And it made me realize I don't

spend enough time with my boy, which is why he and I are going to destroy you

together, like it says in this song.

Dr. Dorian, someone made a mistake you're going to want to deal with.

Hey, Francois. Hey, Janet.

Last weekend was so fun. You are invited under that pontoon boat any time.

Pontoon boat? Will you focus? Someone made a mistake. Come on.

Hi, I'm Dr. Reed, and this is Dr. Tosh. Hi, I'm Dee.

This is Big Gina.

She got me handcuffed to this thing because she a freak. Ain't that right,

boo? And we're not married, but a judge did put us together. I see you have an

infected cut on your foot that isn't healing.

Yeah, infirmary gave me two rounds of antibiotics.

Just didn't help.

This could be a bone infection called osteomyelitis. I'm going to order a

blood panel and an MRI.

Now, MRIs can be pretty dark and isolating. Have you ever had one before?

No, but I've been in solitary.

If you were claustrophobic, we could give you meds to relax you. Oh, I'm

hella claustrophobic.

Okay. You two are very hospitable.

Y'all got some friends on the inside or something?

No. Oh, I do have a salad spinner from the Martha Stewart collection.

I have been to prison by accident. I thought it was an outlet mall.

Hey, uh, you really bonded with the interns, huh?

Yes, equally.

I like them all the same amount.

Okay, well, I'm sorry. One of them is screwed up. A patient was discharged far

too early, and now he's back with an infection.

That means the hospital has to pay for the readmit, which is a very expensive

mistake. I need you to find out which one it was and come down hard on them,

even if it was Amara. Is she the Persian baddie with a booty? She's the one who

likes you. Are you being serious right now? No, Grant!

Does everyone know I like her? They're about to.

And now they do.

Hey, nurse, can you give me some... It's me, Blake.

Why are you wearing that?

Okay, so I told the guy down in laundry that I'm a surgical intern, but I don't

think he heard me, so he gave me nurse's scrubs. It's fine. It's just one day.

That's over in just 14 hours.

Look, I've got a few years on you. And in this job, you don't have the luxury

other people your age have to find themselves.

You don't get to move to Austin to make it as a country western star, then

realize you haven't got the talent, so you gotta move back home with nothing to

show for yourself but the giant belt buckle that says Blakey. How many lives

have you led?

Too many, I reckon.

What I'm trying to say is, if you don't grow up, stand up for yourself, and act

like a doctor, then maybe you shouldn't be a doctor.

The problem is your approach.

Son, flooding his office? No, you're thinking too big.

Here's what we're going to do. Look at this.

These are his shower shorts.

Get the scent, boy.

Godspeed, tiny soldier.

Wow, you look great. Oh, thank you. I'm dressed for the job that I want. A

landlord about to foreclose on something inner-city kids rely on? I wish.

At least then I'd know what I want to do.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I mean, I remember all of my dad's

secretaries, but whenever I try to brainstorm about this, I just see tiny

little dots in my vision. Elligott, you're overthinking it. Okay, I didn't

want this job at first, but when it's right, you'll know.

Perhaps it'll be building an AI data center on the grounds of a Native

American burial site.

Not helpful, J.D.

After helping Elliot, I felt like I was finally mastering friend-work balance.

Okay, Turk, let's talk. My trachea is reinflated and we have some unfinished

business. We do.

Do you remember 15 years ago when we made up that fake secret society to mess

with Hooch? The League of the Order of the Stethoscopes. How could I forget?

Yes. How come we never followed through on that? Because we got older. We had

kids. We got married. We decided we were too mature.

Plus, I'm pretty sure we lost the password to our joint AOL account. Well,

I remembered it.

And I think it's time we send Hooch his welcome letter.

It's happening! Finally!

Are you two in it? What's that, Hooch? Nothing.

Hooch is on his way to the cafeteria to unlock the secret menu.

Maybe this was all Turk needed.

Just some stupid fun like we used to have back in the day. Can I talk to you?

So, that readmit? It wasn't Amara.

Boom!

I'm so sorry.

I'm just so excited, dude. I don't have to be like, hey, girl, you just cost the

hospital hundreds of thousands of dollars. And instead I get to go, hey,

girl, you, me, some damn some, and then some, because you, yum, yum.

Wow. How does talking like that usually go for you? I don't normally talk like

this, dude. Just something about her makes my heart feel like it's Christmas.

My heart's just like, pa-rum-pum-pum-pum.

I've been there, man. I'm actually still there. Sometimes when my girlfriend gets

undressed, I just go, out loud, and she laughs. She loves it. Yeah, I appreciate

the openness. It feels like we're bonding.

Well, it's what I've been looking for. Which is going to make this next part a

little bit harder to say. It wasn't Amara who screwed up. It was Turk.

That's the thing about the hospital.

There's always something you didn't see coming.

Good news, D. Your MRI's clear. You just need stronger antibiotics, which means,

Big Gina, I can clear the patient for discharge.

I'll call it in.

Okay. Oh, wait, wait, wait. I've been waiting for her to move all day.

Please, I really need to talk to you. I'm headed to a really important

meeting. I cannot be late. Like, if I mess this up, it could change the course

of my life. Can you imagine not making one mistake that ruins your whole life?

I'm really sorry. I wouldn't be asking if it wasn't really important.

Whether it changes your priorities or even threatens one of your closest

relationships.

Hey. Hey, hey.

Um... So you know that readmit that's probably going to result in a

disciplinary action?

Oh, yeah.

I'd hate to be that guy.

Yeah, um, funny thing, you are that guy.

Heads up!

My high school guidance counselor was right. These hands are strictly jazz.

Turk was pretty mad. I was going to give him a little space.

Unfortunately, not everyone knew to do the same. Dr. Turk, I am finally

asserting myself.

You don't listen to me in surgery.

I demand you start treating me like a real doctor.

You demand?

Oh, no.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Do me! Do me!

I always suspected.

Big Gina, I'm gonna need you to step out while I examine this patient. It turns

out that her foot infection has...

traveled to a very sensitive part of her body.

It is a real condition called athlete's bajingoitis.

Okay, fine. Just go and take Tasha's collateral.

Wait, what's happening? Oh, hello, big hands.

All right, listen. I never took the antibiotics at the infirmary. I wanted

to get sick enough to come here. I need to get help for my son. He has asthma.

He is really sick. I don't have the money to send him to see a specialist.

There's got to be something you could do.

Okay, how old is your son?

12. Does he have a corticosteroid inhaler? He has one for emergencies.

It's really dangerous for him not to have the right inhaler.

Put in the number of whoever's taking care of your son. I'll get him

everything he needs.

Thank you.

I know you're missing your meeting for this. It's okay.

I know what it's like to worry about your kid.

Don't get mad. I asked her to hold me like a baby.

Can you please come in here with me and close the door? Yes. I just need to do

one thing. One second.

My man.

Hey, what's up?

Do you think I'm a real doctor?

Of course I do.

Blake says I don't act like one, so maybe I shouldn't be one. And Dr. Turk

won't even listen to me about listening to me. Give yourself a break. You're an

intern. You're learning how all this goes.

All you need to do is find your voice.

You can get anything you want.

That's really sweet.

Thank you.

I do have to grab one of these trach kits because I do have a patient who

hasn't been breathing for a couple minutes.

It's cool. She's a swimmer, so she knows how to hold her breath.

Okay. I am done trying to pull it out of you. Here's what I think.

Before I moved back here, you were burned out.

You were not okay.

And then I came back, and it was like a serotonin hit. We had so much fun.

But that's just a temporary fix.

You're distracting yourself from whatever it is that's going on with you

by taking on way too much work, and that is the real reason that you made a bad

call, and we both know it. Buddy, I got the career I wanted. I got the family I

wanted. On paper, I'm golden.

But it doesn't feel that way, does it?

It feels fine.

I'm good.

If you're not going to talk to me, I think you should see someone and get

some real help. No.

I do not want to be perceived as that type of person around here.

I won't let this affect my work.

The problem is, Turk, it already is.

You'd think doctors would be the first to know there's nothing wrong with

getting help.

But that's not how it goes.

Hey. You told me to stand up for myself, right? Oh, God.

I need to find my voice around here.

You will take me seriously as a doctor.

And as a woman.

You're going to take me out to drinks.

And not as friends.

Sexually.

Excuse me.

That is not a promise, just a vibe.

Sweet. It is sweet.

Thank you. My pleasure.

You're dead to me.

Hey. Hey.

Turn off your empathy. Turn off your empathy.

Okay. You know, we don't want to say that our kid is a disappointment. We

love him no matter what. But when I see you standing there perfectly fine, every

breath you take reminds me that I raised a failure.

You know, uh, janitor.

I know it's hard, but at a certain point, I think you need to accept the

fact that the man he is is not the man you are.

That's loser talk.

And loser talk is contagious.

You're the reason my son is the way he is. You know what? I don't even know why

I bothered. I don't even think he's your real son.

How dare you.

What do you want, a DNA test?

In the case of the 514-month-old Nepo janitor, janitor, you are not the

father.

You owe me $237,000!

I'm rich!

You know, I thought that maybe fatherhood would transcend all the

conflict between us, but no.

The fight continues.

Wait, JD's not here?

No. I kicked him out.

That guy's so annoying.

The most annoying thing about him is how much he loves you. I mean, nothing and

no one makes him as happy as you do.

And I know that because he put it in our wedding vows.

I told him to take that out.

I did cry a little when he said it.

The day you stop having fun with him is the day I start worrying about you.

Here you are.

So, I think I have an idea.

Is it turning 101 Dalmatians into a coach?

Listen, thank you so much for setting up the meeting with Siobhan, but I missed

it to help my patient, and it made me realize what I want to do.

So many people have health questions, and they can't afford to get the answers

to it, let alone all the medication that they need.

I want to open a mobile-free clinic and get the services directly to those

people. See?

I told you you'd find your thing.

Team Elliot.

Thanks.

The thing about Siobhan is...

No matter what stage in life we're in, we're all still finding ourselves.

Clem? Some of us are finding our voices.

I said, Clem!

Game recognizes game.

I would like to invite you to a secret society I've recently joined.

Some of us are finding ourselves alone in the universe.

We want to believe we know ourselves, but sometimes we have to leave it to the

people who've always known us better. Hey, watch your throat.

I decided to cut back on my workload.

And? And talk to someone. It's time.

I'm proud of you.

Yeah, you were, uh, you were right to call me out on my mistake.

Well, as chief, I'm responsible for everything that happens here.

And here.

I know you're pointing at my heart, but you're also touching my nipple.

And now it's weird.

Should I even it out?

Stop. Go long. I will. Come on, right here.

I'm out.

You just make sense to me.

Yeah, well, maybe flies can't actually be trained.

That was a waste of three weeks of my life.

Hold still, sir.

Got it.

You see, son, this shows you that with some determination and a little bit of

bitterness, you can win your way to victory.

That's it.

No screens for a month.

Dad, you're the worst.

Go to timeout.

See you tomorrow.
