- This guy says
we've never met before,

but there's something about him
that seemed familiar.

There.

- I remember
when this was taken.

- So you two were close?

- Your father
never wanted you to know.

We were in love.

- There's a blue Impala.

Been idling there
for, like, 15 minutes.

- You're being paranoid.

- This woman
has very strong ties

with the Serbian mob.

- We can't do this.

It's not safe.

Milena, wait.

- Vasik settled with the feds?

- Well, there's still some
state and criminal cases

going forward, but--

You've been awarded
$1.2 million.

- My offer's been accepted,
buying that building.

Oat milk, huh?

- Mm, it's supposed to be
better for the environment.

But still getting it in
a disposable cup, so--

- A bit of a wash.

- Small talking about coffee.

We've become those coworkers.

- We could always talk
about work.

Pulled a LEGO out
of a patient's nose last night.

- Oh, that's exciting stuff.

- The patient was 34 years old.

- Oh.
- Dr. Halstead.

Pleasant surprise.

The infamous Dr. Hannah Asher.

- The infamous
Dr. Matthew Cooper.

- Hi, how are you?

Um, wow.

You are looking quite well.

It must be
that new landlord glow.

Congrats, by the way.

The apartment buildings
in Canaryville, right?

- That's right.

- The old homestead.

I love that.

It's nice to see someone
came out ahead in all this.

- What are you
doing here, Matt?

- Getting the old ticker
checked,

making sure I'm in
fighting shape for the trial.

[chuckles]

Anyway, I got to run.

I look forward to seeing you
in court.

All right, take care, man.

Bye.

- What a dick.

You didn't tell me
that you bought

an apartment building.

- Hey, Doc Scott.
- Hey.

Stefan.
You all right, man?

Something up
with your gunshot recovery?

- No, I'm cool.
You did me right.

That's why I'm here, actually.

Sung your praises to my boss.

Now he needs your help.

- Your boss?

Oh, well.

You know, I caught
your case by chance, man.

I'm a pediatrician.

- Really?
That's even better.

It's actually
my boss's daughter

who isn't feeling well.

- Okay, um, well,
tell him to bring her in.

I'll take a look.
- Sorry, Doc.

Boss doesn't work that way.

- Oh, a--a house call.

Okay.

Um, let me text my boss and
tell him I'm going to be late.

- No.
It's no problem.

You can do that from the car.

Backseat.

Stretcher! Hey!

I need a stretcher.

Hey, talk to me, bud.
What's going on?

- My belly hurts.

- This might hurt a little,

autoimmune hepatitis.

This morning,

We got here

- Okay, put your arm around me.

Please don't let it

- Zeke Belkin,
fulminant liver failure.

Transplant status, 1A.

His time is running out,
and his grandmother, Celeste,

knows it.

She tried to donate a portion
of her liver to save him,

got turned down.

- So they're coming
to ask for a second opinion?

- Well, more like
a fifth opinion.

These are
Celeste's medical records.

Blood type and anatomy
are a match to Zeke, so...

- She's 68 years old,
overweight, type 2 diabetes,

high blood pressure.

Her labs are terrible.

- Yeah, and the kid's
only 12 years old.

- No.

No, no. This hospital too?

- I'm sorry, Ms. Belkin.

- But I've been exercising,
eating better.

I'm stronger than I was before.

I'm the only family Zeke has.

Please.

Run the donor
screening test again.

- Okay.

We will.

Just hang tight, and we'll
have a nurse come by

and get things started, okay?

- Thank you.

- I feel for them,
too, Crockett,

but what you just did
wasn't smart.

- Look, I couldn't
turn her away.

Her grandson's dying.

She's likely his only chance
to get a liver.

- I hope you haven't
overpromised,

because unless her labs
have improved,

there's nothing we can do.

- I'm still struggling
to wrap my head around it.

Was my father the man I knew,

the rigid,
by-the-book sailor,

or was that all an act,
and his true self

was this secret life
with Gerald?

- The two aren't
mutually exclusive.

- Yeah, I guess that's true.

But end of the day,
it was still a lie, right?

To himself, to me,
to who knows who else?

- You check in
with your family

about this yet?

- I, uh--

I tried to--I talked
to my sister Emily about it,

but it was clear she had
no idea, so I dropped it.

My mom--I don't even know how
to approach the conversation.

What if she already knew?

That means she went along
with the lie

and kept it from me.

And if she didn't know,
then I'm just outing my father.

The whole thing is, um--

- It's a lot, right?

I just think you got to
be patient with yourself.

You know, give yourself time

Maybe work would be
a good distraction.

- Mr. Corluka, I'm Dr. Scott.

- Stefan trusts you,

This is Eva.

She was awake all night.

Stomach pains,
nausea, vomiting--

- And fever.

I checked her temperature
again a few minutes ago: 100.2.

- My wife, Lena.

- Hey, Eva.

I'm sorry
you're not feeling so great.

I'm going to try to help.

I need to press
on your tummy,

and you let me know if it
hurts, okay?

Anything?

What about now?

- Ow, that hurts.
Don't press anymore.

- I won't. I promise.

So, Eva, what is
your favorite food?

- Ice cream.

- Mmm, delicious.

If I brought you a big bowl
right now, would you eat it?

- I don't think I could.

It hurts too much.

- I get it.

I need to talk to your parents

it's her appendix.

It needs to come out.

Good vitals.

Baby heart rate's 136.

Morgan, has

- Uh, no.

But--but Jesse's been timing

I thought that I did.

Timer's on.

- Okay.

All right, you're about
5 centimeters dilated.

- Baby's on its way.

- Okay, Morgan,
do you have a birth plan?

I think I want to do
a natural childbirth

without drugs.

up to labor and delivery.

Go from there.

My daughter, Anya.

Apologies for the mud bath.

We were doing
an obstacle course race,

Rope climb, army crawl--

- You know,
father-daughter bonding.

- Good, clean family fun.

Eh, just missed a handhold

kind of funny.

- Yeah?
Can you flex up and down

- Yeah, yeah.

- As far as you can.

- Did you hit your head?

Experience any dizziness,
loss of consciousness?

- No. No.

Just a bruised ego.

- Well, I'll get
an x-ray to be sure,

but I think it's just a sprain.
- Cool.

- There's another race
in a couple of weeks.

Think he'll be ready?

- Well, hell yeah,
I'll be ready.

Come on.

- A tech will be by
with that x-ray in a minute.

- All right.
- Thank you.

- Thanks.

- It seems
pretty straightforward.

No surgery necessary.

So I'm going to peel off.

- Okay, Chief.

- Then my health is better?

- Yes.

Your donor screening labs,
overall,

have slightly improved.

But the numbers are still
not ideal for surgery.

- Is it a yes or a no?

- I still want
a pre-op clearance

from internal medicine
in cardiology,

but as of now, yes.

You can donate a portion
of your liver to Zeke.

- Oh, Zeke, it's
finally happening.

- Ms. Belkin?
- Yeah?

to know that even though we've

approved the surgery,
the operation

hasn't gotten any simpler.

I finally dragged myself
out of bed

And I hate hospitals.

Maggie Lockwood works here,

So you know Maggie?

No, that's--that's okay.

I don't want to bother her.

What was Maggie like back then?

- Just a little whirlwind.

She was popular, valedictorian.

She ran every club back then.

- Yep. Sounds like Maggie.

"Seasons of Love" in choir.

She over-sang everyone until
the teacher gave her a solo.

her plan all along.

You might be right.

No tenderness or swelling.

Uh-huh. Thank you.

Eva has just been put under.

The surgery will last
about an hour.

shortly after she was born.

Thankfully, the doctor

Medications,
test results, everything.

- Oh.

Okay.

Thanks.

- Sure.

- Need more suction.

- What you expected?

Hepatic vein not able
to support the sutures?

- It's not the problem.

Ah, there we go.

Bleeding is coming from
the raw edge of the liver.

- Let it go.
I got it.

- The clip I placed came off.

- It faulty?

- No.
Doesn't seem to be.

Not sure why
it didn't hold.

- Well, it's an easy fix.

Swap it out.

Dr. Blake?

- Hemostat and clip applier.

- You all right?

- My positioning's just off.

- Okay, what do you need?

- Dr. Marcel, I think
you're at a better angle

to apply the clip.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

Take over.

- Okay.

- Congenital what?

- Central hypoventilation
syndrome, CCHS,

is a non-inherited gene
mutation that affects

the autonomic nervous system.

In Eva's case, her brain forgot
to tell her body how deeply

or how often to breathe.

- Then Eva had this forever?

Why didn't we know?

- Well, she had been
getting by.

But today,
with the appendectomy,

she needed extra oxygen
to come out of anesthesia.

She couldn't do it.

- Is there a cure?

- Unfortunately, no.

But there are treatments.

Eva's case is mild.

I suspect that she'll be
most vulnerable

to breathing lapses
during sleeping.

I recommend
a ventilation machine

like a CPAP
to monitor oxygen intake.

- Stefan.

- Da, da, on it, Boss.

- Thank you, Dr. Scott.

I raised my voice earlier,

It's your daughter.

Why the change of heart?

How are you doing?

He hasn't stopped feeding
since he came out.

- We think he's going
to be a sumo wrestler.

- Well, he's off
to a very good start.

His birth weight is
a new hospital delivery record.

11 pounds, 9 ounces.

- Seriously?

My last Leopold
predicted seven pounds.

That was way off.
- Yeah.

Estimating birth weight is
still an imperfect science.

- Apparently
so are due dates.

Almost three weeks

We put them aside to finish
the nursery, buy clothes,

pick a name.

We thought we were so prepared.

Guess not.

of clips, Crockett.

What happened today--

- It worked out,
and Celeste is fine.

- Thankfully.

But it could have just
as easily gone the other way.

I should have felt
that clip hadn't engaged.

- Look, I--

I backed you into a corner
when I agreed to new labs

for Celeste.

I threw you off your game.

my responsibility.

Not everything's
about you, Crockett.

- Oh, Milena.

I'm sorry about today, okay?

It wasn't my idea

It's all that matters.

Thank you for taking a chance

I'll let you rest.

Oh, when you see Dr. Blake,

Yeah, I'll see

Here's your discharge papers.

I asked you not to share

You said you wouldn't.

You're going to argue with me?

Protecting Anya is

You know,
Anya's new job is in Seattle.

I didn't tell her about the MS

Just a bit vague on how.

my fingers together...

There's something wrong

There's something really wrong.

let's find time

A few decent ones.

Just needs a coat of paint.

Dorian Harwell.

I haven't seen him in 25 years.

a grade 1 glioma.

Waiting on
a neurosurgeon consult,

Is he my father?

Let's hope.

I never got to have
a conversation

Miles wanted for his daughter.
