(upbeat music)

- Hey guys.

- Hey, how are you?

- Good.

You guys excited for tomorrow or?

- Both.

- Yeah, both.

- Definitely.

- I just can't wait to do, to be interns

with the residents of DUS.

- I know.

- It's so much fun.

- But worse.

- Oh my God.

Oh my God, I think it's finally happening.

I think Spencer's about to propose.

- Haven't you been together since pre-med?

- It's about damn time he puts a ring on it.

- I have to go.

- Let's break up.

- Yes.

- Did you just say break up?

But you just.

- What?

I was tying my shoe.

- We start our surgical residency at Serenity tomorrow.

You're the one that told me to work here with you.

- Look, I'm going to run Serenity Hospital

with my dad one day.

I need to wipe up a doctor as smart and talented as me

and let's face it Jade,

we won't make it past the first week of residency.

- Are you kidding me?

You're gonna wipe up somebody else

after everything that we've been through?

- Not just anyone.

Trinity Taylor.

She's not as pretty as you,

but she'll be an easy lay

and she's got a much better shot at becoming a doctor.

- Dick.

I'm gonna be the best surgeon

that this hospital's ever seen

and then you're gonna be begging to take me back.

Smart and talented, my ass.

Who would've flunked med school without me?

Oh, where the hell are my keys?

(sighs)

- Can I help you?

Or do you go around kicking people's doors in for fun?

- Oh my God.

No, I'm so sorry.

My boyfriend just dumped me and totally imploded my life

and you don't care.

Just take it any worse.

- Shit.

What do you have in there, rocks?

- I'm so sorry, are you okay?

Right, yeah.

There's no bruising.

Looks good to me.

I mean, fine.

It looks fine to me.

I'm really sorry about your door.

- I'm sorry that asshole hurt you.

Let me at least pay you for the damage.

- I would love to take you somewhere instead.

- What?

Are you a hands guy or something?

- No.

But yours are nice.

(sniffs)

Those are the hands of a surgeon.

- Not according to my ex, they're not.

- Trust me.

Those hands are destined for an OR.

- How did you know that was exactly

what I needed to hear right now?

Who are you?

- Tonight I'll be anyone you want me to be.

(soft music)

- I have to get home.

I'm starting a new job tomorrow

and I have to see my ex and...

- You can leave.

And worry yourself sick about all that bullshit.

(soft music)

- Well, you can stay with me.

(soft music)

Tell me what you want, Jade.

- I want you.

I want you.

- Well, show me what it's like to be with the real man.

And make you forget your love boyfriend ever existed.

(soft music)

Yes.

Let go for me, baby.

(soft music)

- Today is the first day of your future.

At Serenity Hospital, you'll either excel

through residency and become a renowned surgeon

or you'll fail.

Let me introduce our most acclaimed surgical attending,

Dr. Damon Ford, aka The Executioner.

- Here comes The Executioner.

- Might as well quit now.

(soft music)

(phone ringing)

- Hey, Dad.

Long time no see.

- You will all refer to me as Dr. Ford.

You're my subordinates.

I'm here to weed out the weak

and identify the very few of you

who have what it takes to stay.

This year, we're using a point system.

Each time you excel, you earn points.

When you mess up, you lose 'em.

- Yes, Dr.--

- Lancaster.

What are the points for?

- The top resident will choose their specialty

and assign placements to anyone who makes it to year two.

- That's in the bag.

This time next year, you'll be fist deep in rectal exams.

- Threaten me all you want.

We both know I'm the better doctor.

- Each resident is assigned to an attending.

Dr. Lancaster?

- You're with me.

- Isn't this nice?

- Just me, my dad, my ex hanging out at work.

- Dr. Vance, go find your attending.

Dr. Lancaster.

- A word.

- Spencer's your asshole, ex?

Did you have sex with me to get revenge on my son?

- What?

No.

Did you have sex with me knowing that you'd be my boss?

- I had no idea who you were.

I'm here to train surgeons, not sleep with residents.

At least tell me this.

Were you in love with Spencer?

- Thought I was.

Certainly not anymore.

Not that it matters.

- It matters to me.

(dramatic music)

I don't know what's worse,

sleeping with my direct report,

sleeping with my son's ex,

or the fact that I want to do it again.

- Damon, we can't.

You should know that better than anybody.

(phone beeps)

- You're right.

We can't risk our careers.

You're my resident.

My patients are your patients,

but our relationship ends there.

- I can handle that.

Can you?

(dramatic music)

(phone beeps)

- Finn?

It's Dr. Lancaster.

You know me, okay?

- Help me.

Help me.

- Okay, first Jackie, push the defibrillator.

- All right, yeah.

- Okay, look at me.

Look at me.

We're gonna take slow, deep breaths.

Ready?

(inhales and exhales)

All right.

Is that better?

Okay, all good.

You're good.

Dr. Lancaster, you don't look so good.

- No, no, I'm okay.

I'm just a little bit nauseous.

- We need a doctor in here!

- Jackie, I'm here.

- Damon?

- Don't worry, I've got you.

I've got you.

(dramatic music)

- Dizziness, nausea, elevated heart rate.

Is the job getting to you?

- No, the job is hard, but I can handle it.

I've been handling it.

- Are you pregnant?

- What?

No.

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I would be screwed.

Residency is hard enough as it is,

and you're the only person that I've slept with.

And my period is late because--

- Jade.

You know, I was more focused chasing my career

than being a father to Spencer.

I regret it.

But if you're carrying my baby--

- Don't make any promises yet.

It's probably nothing.

(dramatic music)

It's positive.

Oh my God.

What are we gonna do?

- We're going to get through this.

Together.

- Are you sure you wanna do this with me?

Or is this just some chance to redeem yourself?

To fix what went wrong with Spencer?

- Sure.

There's some part of me that wants to prove

that I can raise a child.

But...

More important than that,

I wanna prove that I can raise our child.

I wanna be there for you, Jade.

I wanna be part of this.

If you'll let me.

- You're the father.

Of course I want you to be involved.

But you're also the best,

most ruthless surgeon at Serenity.

And you're also my fucking boss.

Oh my God.

What are people gonna say when they find out?

- They won't.

And for now,

we're alone.

You can think of me

of the stranger whose car you bashed in.

The one

who swept you off your feet.

The one you couldn't resist.

- Dad, open up!

- Jesus, Dr. Vance, do you need something?

And it's Dr. Ford, not Dad.

You will act like a professional in my hospital.

- Fine.

You're giving her special attention,

how's that professional?

- That's not special attention, she's my resident,

and you're interrupting our work.

- She's weak and you're the executioner.

Give her the chop already.

- Dr. Lancaster isn't weak.

She has the most promise out of all of the residents,

including you.

(scoffs)

- What should I do with this?

- Just throw it in one of the drawers.

- What are these doing in your desk?

- I thought I left these at your house.

- You did.

But seeing you every day

and not being able to touch you

is hell.

So I keep them here

and every time I can't stop thinking about you,

I pull them out.

Kiss me.

- Dr. Ford, we're not supposed to be doing this.

- You're going to disrespect my orders.

That's what I thought.

- No, wait.

I can't just forget who you are.

You're my boss

and you're my ex's dad.

Nothing has changed.

- You're carrying my baby.

Everything has changed.

(dramatic music)

- Okay.

- You sure you know what you're doing?

- You're questioning my skills?

You of all people should know that I'm very good with my hand.

(laughs)

May I?

- You may.

(dramatic music)

- Oh my God.

- We're having a baby.

(breathing heavily)

- Oh my God.

Am I crazy for going through with this?

Am I ruining my career before it even begins?

- Hey.

I won't let you go through with this alone

and I won't let this ruin your career.

- It's easier said than done.

- Nothing worth having is ever easy.

You have to fight for it.

This baby is mine

and I'll protect it.

- What the hell is going on here?

- You have a strict new fraternization policy.

Start explaining.

- I did diagnose an injury on Dr. Lancaster's hip.

- It's a really nasty bruise.

You won't believe how it happened.

My neighbor has this huge dog

and this morning it escaped

and the dog was running

and it was about to run into a child.

So I stood in front of the child to protect it

and the dog just kept running and knocked me over

and I fell.

I fell head first and it's like a really nasty bruise

if you want to see it.

- It's all very noble of you, Dr. Lancaster,

but I'll just trust that Dr. Ford took good care of you.

(laughing)

(upbeat music)

(coughing)

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music)

- Saw you walk out of that room after my father.

- So what?

I work under him.

- Just know I've been watching you.

- Does Trinity know that?

I'm not sure that she would take it too well.

Get out of my way.

I'm trying to do my job.

- I'm not going anywhere

because I know what's really happening

between you and my dad.

- And what's that?

- You're trying to sleep with him to get ahead.

- That's low, even for you.

- You clearly don't know anything.

- I know that I'm gonna run this hospital

with my dad one day and he'll be nothing.

- Dr. Vance, harass my resident again

and I have you removed from this hospital permanently.

- I see why they call you the executioner.

- Does it scare you?

- No.

It makes me wanna be a better surgeon.

It makes me wanna impress you.

(dramatic music)

- Nurse Shrek, what should we do?

- You're the doctor here, you tell me.

- What's going on?

- Dr. Ford, they were having chest pains

so I gave them some meds and then their eyes

went black and they started seizing and

I don't know what to do.

Dr. Ford, should we cut in?

- Your call, but first you need to get control

of Dr. Taylor.

- Dr. Taylor, you've done enough.

Get out of my patient's room and get your shit together.

(heart beating)

Their lungs don't sound right.

I could be wrong.

- Surgeons trust their instincts, hesitation costs lives.

Tell me what your gut says.

- I need a minute.

- You don't have a minute, make the call or get out.

- There's fluid in the chest cavity.

We need to drain it.

Let's do a pericardial synthesis.

Jackie, an 18 gauge and a catheter.

- Got it.

- Good call.

Now let's fix it.

That will earn you some points.

- Is that a heart transplant?

This will happen again.

- I know.

Let's hope we will find a match.

I'll finish up here and meet you in my office.

(soft music)

- Oh, I'm sorry.

Did you know that this was Dr. Ford's office?

Yes.

- Okay, may I take a message for you?

I'm happy to pass it along.

- That won't be necessary.

- May I take a name?

- I'm Blair Vance.

Spencer Vance is my son.

(soft music)

And I'm Dr. Ford's wife.

- Oh, I wasn't aware that Dr. Ford was married.

- Why would you be?

You're just a resident.

- Right.

I have to get back to work.

- Not before you tell me what you're doing

in my husband's office.

- We were helping a patient

and I came back here for the final report.

- Nice try.

Final reports go to the nurse's station.

See you soon, doctor.

- I'm done with this.

I'm not having kids with a lying cheater.

- Dr. Ford, if I'd known you were married,

nothing would have happened between us.

It's best to keep things professional

and never see each other outside of work again.

- It's fine.

Everything's gonna be fine.

- Blair?

You came back?

(door opens)

What the hell could you possibly want?

- Dr. Ford.

Don't be rude.

- It's not good bedside manner.

- If you wanna see Spencer, then--

- I'm not here for Spencer.

I spent the last 25 years in his life, unlike you.

- Don't call me up there.

What are you actually here for?

- I'll tell you soon enough.

If I tell you now, it'll ruin all of the fun.

(phone dings)

- Where are you going?

I'm not done.

- Well, I have more important things to handle

than your same old bullshit.

And don't you fucking dare show up here again.

- Sorry, Damon.

I can't make that promise.

(somber music)

- Coward.

Jade.

Get your shit together.

I cannot cry at work.

(somber music)

- Trinity, come closer.

- Trinity?

Spencer?

- If you wanted to hook up again, you could have just asked.

- Excuse me?

- I get it now.

You're trying to hook up with my dad

to make me jealous, aren't you?

It's working, you know.

So much so, I actually wanna rip your clothes off right now.

(phone rings)

- What the?

- Stay the hell away from me, you delusional asshole.

- Jade, I don't know what Blair said to you, but--

- No, I don't wanna hear it.

I've gotten enough bullshit from Spencer

and I don't need it from you too.

- Let me explain.

Jade?

You know I'm nothing like Spencer.

I would never treat you the way he did.

- Oh, really?

Were you gonna tell me about your wife before

or after we had our baby?

That's what I thought.

Like father, like son.

You're both liars.

- I'm not a liar.

Blair is Spencer's mother, but she's not my wife.

I was 20 when Blair got pregnant with Spencer.

We eloped, but two days after she annulled the marriage,

then she took my son and ran.

I haven't spoken to her since.

- So then why did she show up here?

Why now?

- I have no idea.

I'm sorry she lied to you.

And I'm sorry I didn't tell you about her.

I've done everything I can to avoid ever seeing her again.

- You haven't done enough.

Do you have any idea what it felt like standing

in front of her feeling like a homewrecking idiot?

Or like the father of my child isn't who he says that he is?

- I am Jade.

I've never lied to you and I will never lie to you.

And I will never hurt you again.

- We have to be more careful.

If Blair had seen her-

- She didn't.

I meant it when I said I'd take care of you and our baby.

And protect you.

- You don't need to worry about Blair.

- It would be so easy for you to go back to her.

She's older.

She's wealthier.

She's more experienced.

She's the mother of your child.

- You are the mother of my child.

You're the one I want.

(dramatic music)

- I'll do anything to prove it to you.

- Anything?

(dramatic music)

- I need you, Jade.

And if I don't have you right now.

- Yes, yes, yes.

- You're too loud.

But for that gorgeous voice.

(dramatic music)

- Do it.

I dare you.

(dramatic music)

- I dream about this.

About you.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

- Jade.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

- It's Chief Walker.

- It's an exciting day.

We have a new cardiac surgeon joining us from Mass General.

Dr. Blair Vance.

- Shit, Blair Vance.

She's the top cardiac surgeon on these coops.

- I heard she's a total badass.

She's gonna be the executioner

of Ron Forrest's money.

- It's my mom.

- It's an honor to be here.

Can't wait to see what you all are made of.

Especially you, Dr. Lancaster.

- What's up with that?

You cut the tension with it.

- Spencer's mom.

There's gotta be some drama there.

- As some of you know, I'm retiring.

And Dr. Ford and Dr. Vance are both

in the running for chief.

I'll be making my choice soon,

along with top resident of the year.

All right, meeting adjourned.

Thank you all.

- Chief is supposed to be mine.

- If I'm leaving Serenity,

I want to know that it's in the best hands.

You and Blair are two of the top surgeons in this country.

If you wanna be chief, then earn it.

(dramatic music)

- Damn it!

I want you to leave, Dr. Lancaster.

I don't want you to see me this way.

- I'm not going anywhere.

- I can't believe she did this to me.

To us.

It's gonna be harder than ever to protect you

and do my job with Blair breathing down my fucking neck.

I moved on.

I was finally building a life of my own.

The family I never got to have.

To have.

And she had to come and tear it all down.

- I can't let her get to you, Dayton.

- You don't understand.

You don't understand what she put me through.

- Help me understand.

- You should know what

really happened between Blair and me.

What happened to my son.

- I'm not here.

I wanna take you somewhere special.

- Okay.

(gentle music)

- That's perfect, Jade.

I haven't been on a proper date since.

- Since Blair?

- Since I took a stunning stranger home.

Fell for her.

Hard.

My relationship with Blair was never this romantic.

Honestly, I don't think she ever really liked me.

She just wanted me to help her get into med school.

- Sounds familiar.

(gentle music)

What happened when she got pregnant?

- I dropped everything to make sure

she and the baby stayed healthy.

I married her for God's sake.

When she annulled and took Spencer away,

I was devastated.

I called her over and over,

begged her to bring him back.

The only thing I got was a

letter with a threat from her lawyer

to drop it or she'd take me to court.

- So what did you do?

(gentle music)

- I was proud of her, Jade.

I'm not proud of what I did.

(gentle music)

I give up.

I was finishing pre-med, drowning in work.

I let them go.

It's the biggest mistake I've done.

I helped Spencer getting into the residency program here.

I thought it could, I don't know,

repair our relationship,

but now that Blair's here too,

it's an even bigger reminder of

all the mistakes I made back then.

- Spencer's grown now.

You're giving him what you can.

(gentle music)

Now you have another chance.

Whatever happened in the past,

I know that you're gonna be an amazing father.

(laughing)

And we both already know you're a kick-ass surgeon.

Blair doesn't stand a chance.

- You're smart.

Talented.

Sexy as hell.

You make that little gasping sound, what I...

(gentle music)

(lips smacking)

- Where have you been all my life?

- Mom, what is it?

- What's the deal with you and Dr. Lancaster?

- We're done.

I dumped her ass like two months ago,

but she's still buzzing around like a damn mosquito.

Dad's treating her like a golden child.

Sick of it.

- Good.

I need your help with something.

(gentle music)

You okay?

- Yeah.

- What?

- My first school dance is in a few weeks.

Can I leave the hospital and go?

Just for one night.

- Finn, your heart is failing.

We're still waiting on a match for your transplant,

and if anything were to happen in the meantime--

- Dr. Lancaster, please.

There's someone I like,

and unless a match comes through,

(sighs)

don't let me die without having my first kiss.

- I will talk to Dr. Ford,

and see what we can do, okay?

(machine beeping)

Lancaster, scrub in, now.

(dramatic music)

- That's it.

Right there, careful, slow.

Pressure.

(machine beeping)

- Dr. Lancaster, are you okay?

- There's a blockage to her airway.

Cut an opening, clear the path.

(machine beeping)

- Patient's crashing, bleeding out of range.

Dr. Lancaster, apply pressure to the bleeder.

- You're wrong, Damon.

The patient's heart isn't getting enough blood flow.

Dr. Lancaster, elevate her chest.

- No, apply pressure to the bleeder.

- No, elevate her chest.

- Dr. Lancaster.

(dramatic music)

- We need help here!

- Stabilize, stabilize.

(dramatic music)

- What happened?

- Your blood pressure spiked and you passed out.

But you and the baby are both okay.

We just have to monitor you.

- What?

Are you okay?

- The baby, it kicked for the first time.

I think it knows your voice.

- What do I say?

- I don't think it matters.

I think it just likes hearing you talk.

- I think baby likes the way I talk to you, Jane.

Incredible.

(machine beeping)

- Shit.

ER, I'll be back, okay?

- You wanna be a dad?

You got pregnant on purpose to ruin my career, didn't you?

You knew you didn't have what it takes to be a surgeon,

but you just had to bring me down with you.

- Don't flatter yourself, Spencer.

This has nothing to do with you.

- Couldn't have your career, you couldn't have me,

so you're trapping me.

But guess what?

You're the last person on Earth I--

(glass shattering)

- Just ending that thought before I kick you out

of residency for arresting one of your peers.

- Tell anyone about this, and I'll end you.

I guess abandoning children runs in the family,

huh, Grandpa?

(dramatic music)

- Damon, what are we gonna do?

- We forget about Spencer and do odd jobs.

- Have you talked to Dr. Ford yet?

Can I go to the dance?

- No, you can't risk it.

It's not before your heart transplant.

- A few hours wouldn't kill them.

- Are you sure about that, Dr. Lancaster?

The risk is too high.

My decision is final.

- Dr. Ford?

I'm well aware of the risks,

but they aren't just a patient, they're still a kid.

(dramatic music)

- Fine.

If you're the expert here, then it's your call.

- I seem stable enough right now.

You can go to the dance,

but you need to be accompanied by Nurse Jackie.

Why are you so angry?

(dramatic music)

- Maybe I was wrong about you.

Maybe you're not cut out to be a surgeon.

- I made a decision about my patient.

That's what surgeons do.

- You're taking unnecessary risks, Dr. Lancaster.

- Are you gonna go all executioner on me

and take all my points away?

Go ahead.

I'm not gonna treat Finn like there's some stats

on a medical chart.

They're a person.

- I know.

That's why I'm trying to protect them,

just like I'm trying to protect you.

- I never asked for your protection.

What the hell is your problem?

- I'm trying to be professional here.

I'm trying to do my job, but I...

You're driving me crazy.

- What the hell am I supposed to do about that?

- That milk is gonna get you into trouble, Dr. Lancaster.

- Then shut me up, Dr. Floyd.

(dramatic music)

- I thought you didn't believe in taking risks.

- This is one I'm willing to take.

(dramatic music)

- Damon, Damon, Damon.

You're a resident, Damon.

Really?

- There.

- What the hell are you gonna do sneaking around

in my office?

- I knew you were up to something.

This is low, even for you.

Oh, so protective of her.

I wonder what your son would have to say about this.

Or better yet, the chief.

Is she as good in bed as I am?

Does she moan when you go down?

- Don't say another fucking word about her.

(laughing)

- Oh, this is gonna be so much fun.

- Oh my God, we're so screwed.

She's gonna tell the chief and then Spencer.

I'm gonna be sick.

- Don't listen to a word Blair says, it's all bullshit.

- No, no, that's easy for you to say.

You're an established surgeon, but I'm nobody.

It is my career, my life that's at stake.

If this gets out, not yours.

- I will never be chief of surgery.

- That is not the same thing.

You got to live your dream,

but I haven't even gotten a chance at mine.

This isn't something that you can.

(sad music)

I'm sorry.

It's just the pregnancy hormones

and this whole Blair thing, it's just a--

- A lot, I know.

But Blair's more bark than bite.

If she tries anything,

she'll regret ever stepping foot inside this hospital.

- Thanks again for letting me go, Dr. Lancaster.

You're the best.

- Have fun tonight, Finn.

- If I get that kiss, you'll be the first to know.

- Good luck.

You look great.

- Think about it.

This is what it'll be like

when we send our baby off for the first time.

All the patients should have been discharged,

so let's do a little sweep.

- Let's do it.

- Shh!

- Oh my God! - What the hell?

Get out of here! - Get out of this fucking room!

We're on break and we're not bothering anyone.

Right, Spencer?

- Right, babe.

I think Jade's a little jealous.

- There's someone in call room for this.

Why don't you use it?

- Would you stop being such an uptight bitch?

- Can I borrow this?

Thank you.

- What the fuck, Jade?

- There, now you're all clean and shiny

for your next shift.

(phone buzzing)

- Shit.

(heart monitor beeping)

What the hell happened?

- Collapsed at the dance.

They had chest pains, dizziness.

- Cardiac tamponade.

- What do you need, doctor?

- I don't, I don't know.

- Our pulse is weakening.

(heart monitor beeping)

- Are you just gonna stand there and do nothing?

- You sent them to the dance.

Save them.

- Are you just gonna stand there and do nothing?

- You sent them to the dance.

Save them.

- Take over Tuscan Pressions

while I figure something out.

- Remember what I told you, trust your gut.

- Doctor, it's coming in.

- It's engaged.

Encapsular, let's go.

Don't you dare die on me, Ben.

- We've got her, Ethan.

(heart monitor beeping)

- Good work, Dr. Netkister.

That puts you at the top of the pack.

Everything's just a temporary fix

until Finn gets a heart transplant.

But this buys him essential time.

Go take a minute to yourself.

(somber music)

- Dr. Lancaster?

You're bleeding.

I wouldn't worry too much if these things happened.

You're a cardiac surgeon who hates my guts.

Forgive me if I don't take your advice.

- Well, you were a pregnant first year resident

sleeping with an attending.

You were bound to crash and burn at some point.

- Just tell me if my baby's okay.

- Wow, I don't even get a please?

If the chief found out about this,

your career would be over.

You should be kissing my ass.

- Claire, whatever this is, I don't have time to...

What the hell is going on here?

- Oh my.

This is interesting.

- Congratulations, mom and dad.

You're having twins.

- I couldn't be more excited.

- Me too.

- Wait, you're happy about this?

(laughs)

Having a kid with a resident is already career suicide,

but having two, your life is over.

You two really think that you're gonna be able

to keep this a secret?

It's gonna be obvious soon.

- This is none of your business, Blair.

- It is her business now.

She knows everything.

There's nothing stopping her

from going and telling the chief, is there?

(whistling)

- She wouldn't do that.

- How do you know that?

- He's right, I won't tell.

Yet.

Hmm, I need to keep you around a little longer, Damon.

He's right, I won't tell.

Yet.

You may think he will protect you and your two babies.

He won't.

Damon isn't who you think he is.

- Thanks for the tip.

But I'll take my chances.

- Wins.

(laughs)

(gentle music)

(gentle music)

- Am I dying?

- You never told me if you got your first kiss at a dance.

- Almost.

We danced and she leaned in and then I collapsed.

(laughs)

But you didn't answer my question.

- Your heart is getting weaker.

But that doesn't mean you don't have a chance.

- It doesn't seem like I do.

- I am not going to let you die.

We are going to get you that heart

and we're gonna get you that first kiss.

(gentle music)

I'll be right back.

(upbeat music)

- We have the law for--

- 13 year old John Doe with a snapped spine?

- The surgery is mine, get out.

- Dr. Vance.

- Or you can stay and share your big news with your son.

Better yet, I can tell him myself.

Stay Dr. Lancaster.

You can handle it.

- I'm finding fragments of the spine everywhere.

Look, there's one under the kidney.

- We've never done a surgery this complicated.

I don't even know what to do.

- Well, Dr. Lancaster claims to be better than you,

Dr. Vance.

Let's let her prove it.

Any mistakes cost you points, doctor.

- I can do this.

- Girls.

(gentle music)

Stabilizing.

- You need to stitch that wound.

- But if I stitch it, then he's--

- Forget it.

I'll do it myself.

Move.

(dramatic music)

Dr. Vance, he's coding.

- Shit.

- Pause.

Faster.

Hold.

Pressure.

Pause.

(dramatic music)

Congratulations, doctor.

You killed my patient.

(dramatic music)

- I did not kill him.

I had him stabilized before you--

- So far, I what?

I am one of the top surgeons in the country

and you are nothing but a lowly resident.

Who do you think screwed up in there?

- You made the wrong call, Dr. Vance.

We both saw what happened.

- You think Spencer's gonna back you up.

He's not.

- Is he?

See?

Do you think the chief is gonna believe

in nobody like you over her new star surgeon?

Go ahead.

Tattle on me if you'd like,

but who's gonna back you up?

- I will.

- Stay out of it, Dr. Ford.

You have no idea what happened in there.

- I do, actually.

I watched the whole thing from the gallery.

The part where Dr. Lancaster made the right call

to pack the wound,

the part where she stabilized the patient,

the part where you steamrolled her and lost him.

Did I miss anything?

- Go to the chief and I blow your cover.

- Dr. Lancaster, my office.

- As long as Blair keeps this secret,

she's gonna make my life a living hell.

If she doesn't get me fired first.

- If she tells the chief you killed that patient,

then she's even crazier than I thought.

I'll turn myself in before I let her

drag your name through the mud like that.

- Damon, don't joke about that.

- It's not a joke.

You're a talented surgeon.

I knew it from the first time you touched me

and you've proven it again and again.

Blair's not going to ruin that for you.

I won't let her.

(dramatic music)

- Chief Walker wants to see me.

It's an emergency.

Am I getting fired?

(dramatic music)

- Chief, if this is about Dr. Vance's patient--

- We're not here to talk about any patients.

You and Dr. Ford are close.

- Yes.

Yes, professionally I suppose we are.

- Then I need your help.

- With what?

- Something fishy is going on here

with the finances at the hospital.

Numbers fudged, money going missing,

and I think Damon might be involved.

- No, I haven't seen Damon.

- I'm almost convinced that he is

and I want you to be my eyes and ears.

Tell me if he does anything out of the ordinary.

I don't want to go to the board with this

unless I know for sure who's involved.

- Chief, I don't believe that this would be--

- That's all, this discussion is closed.

Thank you.

- Dr. Lancaster.

- I want you to succeed here,

but I need you to put the hospital first.

- Yes, Chief.

- Yes, come in.

How do you go?

- Damon, what are you hiding from me?

- Yes, come in.

How do you go?

- Damon, what are you hiding from me?

- I don't keep secrets from you, Jade.

What's going on?

- Somebody's stealing money from the hospital

and Chief thinks that you could be involved.

- Why would she think I...

No.

Listen to me.

I would never do anything to her at this hospital

or my chances of becoming Chief.

- So what are you saying?

Somebody's framing you?

Making you look bad?

Could it be Blair?

- Maybe she is crazier than I thought,

but that's just not something I can accuse her of,

not without proof.

I'll see what I can figure out.

(phone ringing)

Yes?

Are you sure?

Thanks.

- What is it?

Is it about the money?

- No.

You're not going to believe it.

- What is it?

- It's a John Doe's heart.

It's a match for Finn.

- Oh my God.

They're finally getting a new heart?

- But there's a catch.

The heart is also a match for one of Spencer's patients.

A successful transplant could earn Spencer

the top residence spot.

He's going to fight hard,

but we need to convince Chief Walker to give it to us.

Without it?

- Finn will die.

- Okay, we have to make this decision.

Help me.

- My patient is healthier.

Dr. Lancaster's won't survive the surgery.

It's obvious--

- Finn has been on this list for 14 years.

We cannot give up on him.

He needs this heart.

- Dr. Lancaster, do not interrupt.

- But she's right.

Finn deserves the heart.

- Okay, here's what's going to happen.

We'll all meet back here in 24 hours.

You will each present your cases calmly,

and then I will make my decision.

You're done, ma'am.

- Good luck on your presentation, Dave.

- Not.

- Aw, you have such a way with words, Spencer.

I would say good luck to you too,

but I bet your mommy's gonna do

your whole presentation for you.

- God, I wish you weren't pregnant.

- I'm sorry?

- I hate knowing that I have

that bastard child running around.

Especially with a bitch mother like you.

(laughing)

- Then thank God this isn't your child.

- What did you just say to me?

- You're not the father, Spencer.

I would never have a baby with someone like you.

(gasping)

- Touch her again and see what happens.

- Who's defending Jade?

I'm your kid, not her.

- Consider this a fatherly lesson on how to be a real man.

Keep your goddamn hands off her.

Let me see.

Come on.

Can't believe he hit you.

I went too easy on him, I should've--

- It's just a cut.

I'm fine.

- Spencer needs to be fired.

There's no way a little asshole like him

should be anywhere near an operating room.

- No.

We can't go to the chief with any more of this petty drama.

Things are already bad enough with this money conspiracy.

- You're right.

(somber music)

- Better?

- Much.

- Guys, help!

(upbeat music)

(groaning)

Guys, help!

- Chief Walker!

She's having a heart attack.

- David, stretch her, stop.

- Stay with me.

Everything's okay.

- It's her heart, right?

I can handle it.

- It's my surgery, Dr. Vance, out.

Dr. Vance, don't make me force you.

- He's gonna wish he'd never threatened me.

- Got her on oxygen.

We're prepped for an angioplasty.

- Strong hold, Dr. Lancaster.

Trust you.

(heart monitor beeping)

- Good work, Dr. Lancaster.

We're becoming quite the green team.

- Dr. Ford?

- Chief.

How are you feeling?

- Better.

Thanks to you two.

I call both of Dr. Vance's in here.

I've made my decision about the heart.

When Dr. Ford and Dr. Lancaster found me,

they wasted no time taking action.

They made quick calls and performed an expert angioplasty

that probably saved my life.

- Dr. Lancaster made the call and installed the stent.

I just supervised.

- It was a team effort.

It should come as no surprise then

that I'm giving the heart to Dr. Lancaster's patient.

- Chief, if we'd gotten here first,

then we would have gotten the heart.

That doesn't--

- We respect your decision.

Best of luck to you, Dr. Lancaster.

- Congratulations, and thank you both again.

(gentle music)

- You did it.

- Not for the heart part.

- Will it hurt?

- You won't feel a thing.

And if everything goes our way,

when you wake up, you're gonna have a brand new heart.

- Okay.

Just try not to kill me.

- Promise.

- Okay.

- Ready, Finn?

Okay, Finn, you're gonna count down from 10, Finn,

really slowly.

- 10, nine, eight, seven.

(gentle music)

(dramatic music)

- Why are you giving me this?

- Because you're going to perform the surgery.

Because you're going to perform the surgery.

- I can't perform a surgery this complicated.

I'm just a resident.

- This is how you prove to yourself and everyone else

that you can do this, Dr. Lancaster.

(dramatic music)

- Scalpel, please.

(dramatic music)

- Suction?

- Suction already on it.

Nice teamwork, Dr. Lancaster.

(dramatic music)

- They're ready for their new heart.

(gentle music)

(dramatic music)

- Focus on me, Finn.

Don't let Blair get the best of you.

- Okay.

I can do this.

Give me the heart.

(dramatic music)

(gentle music)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music)

- You did it.

You're back in the lead for top resident.

Well done, doctor.

- You're amazing.

I've never seen anybody blow a stitch that fast.

- If you keep that up, then...

- Congratulations.

You avoided killing another patient.

- Enough, Blair.

You're targeting Dr. Lancaster to get a rise out of me.

- Fine, no more games.

You have 12 hours to quit, Dr. Ford.

- Or what?

- Tell the chief everything.

And then you and Dr. Lancaster can go down together.

Oh, clock's ticking, Dr. Ford.

(dramatic music)

(gentle music)

(gentle music)

- What is it, Spencer?

I'm busy.

- It's fucking Jade, of course.

She got the heart.

She became the hero that saved Chief Walker,

and now she has the most points out of anyone.

You're supposed to be helping me win.

- Okay, I told you I'm working on it.

Turns out framing someone for fraud

is a little bit harder than it looks.

- You said you had other dirt on dad.

Something that could take him and Jade both down.

- I can't give that information to the chief now.

It will seem too suspicious.

- Why?

- I need information.

- Do you wanna be top resident or not?

Then stop asking stupid questions.

- What?

- Look, you're gonna be top resident,

and I'm gonna be chief.

But first, I need you to help me get Jade out of the way.

Can you do that?

- Yeah.

I think I know how to take her down.

(suspenseful music)

- Jade, I need you in the conference room.

- Says who?

- Spencer.

He has some big announcement for everyone,

and he really wants you to be there.

There's nothing going on between you, is there?

- Absolutely not.

- You can have him.

You can tell Spencer that I don't care

about his little announcement.

- I have work to do.

- He said you'd say that.

He also said that if you don't come with,

then Dr. Vance is coming clean.

- Fuck me.

- Make the way.

- Now that everyone is here,

I have some big news I'd like to share.

Dr. Lancaster, do you come up and join me?

(suspenseful music)

Now, I'm sure you've all noticed Jade's waking.

I'm here to tell you the reason why.

This is for stealing my heart.

We're having a baby!

- What the hell?

- Backstabbing bitch!

- Get the hell off of me!

- You said you and Spencer were over!

- I was telling the truth, we are over.

- Don't lie to my girlfriend, whore.

- I told you to never touch her again!

- David, please, he isn't a whore.

- What do you think is the problem?

- Oh my God, she means--

- Enough!

I have an announcement to make.

I have an announcement to make.

(suspenseful music)

These babies are mine.

- Babies?

Oh shit!

- And no one says another word

about the mother of my children.

- Out!

- All of you.

- Un-fucking-believable.

They're so going down for this.

I hope it was worth it.

- It was.

(soft music)

- I'm going to do everything I can to keep you here,

even if it means taking all the blame.

- You're so close to becoming chief.

Why would you give that up?

(soft music)

- Because I'm falling in love with you.

- Falling in love with you too.

- Falling in love with you too.

(soft music)

- Nobody has ever made me feel the way that you do today.

Nobody.

- Chief Walker, let me explain.

- No need.

I know exactly what's going on here.

- Do either of you have anything to say for yourselves?

- Yes.

I quit.

- Don't do this.

- It's my fault.

My responsibility.

- A relationship takes two people.

You will both be held responsible.

- Dr. Lancaster is the top resident in the program.

An exceptional talent.

Don't lose her because I lost control.

- You made your decision.

This is mine.

Leave quietly.

Be out by the end of the day.

And that's for you, Dr. Lancaster.

- Damon Ford, you're under arrest.

Damon Ford, you're under arrest.

- No.

No, you can't arrest him.

He hasn't done anything wrong.

- What the hell is going on here?

- I won't fight him.

Just tell me what you're arresting me for.

- You stole money from the sick kids at this hospital.

The board gave us a call.

And there's plenty of proof.

- Dr. Ford, you were in on this all along?

Dr. Lancaster, did you know?

- This isn't true.

It's all a setup.

- Chief Walker, Jade had nothing to do with this.

Jade, just keep your head down and stay calm.

- David, please, David, I can't do this without you.

(dramatic music)

- You're still here, Blanchard, so did she.

- Please follow me.

Let's discuss this in my office, okay?

- You.

You did this.

- Ah, Damon.

You did this to yourself.

All those bank statements in your name.

All that money missing.

It's never enough for you, is it?

- You covered.

You helped her, didn't you?

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- You're a terrible liar.

- You're a stupid bitch.

- Spencer just can't handle the truth.

Your daddy likes me more.

- Maybe you're right.

Maybe I'm sick and tired of him choosing

some untalented little whore over his own son.

- You might have my DNA, but you'll never be my son.

- Oh, you're right, he won't be.

Because you're not Spencer's father.

Because Spencer is not your son.

- What the hell?

- This has to be a joke.

- If Damon isn't Spencer's father, then who is?

- Not.

Not that it is any of your business,

but he was just some deadbeat that I slept with once.

Didn't come from money.

Meanwhile, Damon was well on his way

to being a star med student.

- So you lied.

You cheated on me.

You told me Spencer was mine so I wouldn't leave.

- Lot of good that did me.

You were so far up your ass that you just couldn't care.

I had to cut and run.

Vowed to make a bigger name for myself

than Damon Ford ever would.

- Do you even care about me?

About my career?

- Shut up.

Good luck in prison, Dr. Ford.

Good luck in prison, Dr. Ford.

(somber music)

- Damon.

I'm so sorry.

I don't even know what else to say.

- You should've known when she left.

You should've known when Spencer was nothing like me.

- The saddest part is,

I still regret what I did back then.

I would've raised him as mine even if I'd known.

- I know.

That's what makes you such an amazing dad, Damon.

- I'm gonna get out of this.

- I know, I know.

And I'm gonna help you, okay?

It's gonna be okay.

(dramatic music)

- Damon.

(Damon breathing heavily)

(somber music)

(phone clicking)

- Can we meet?

(somber music)

- Finally come to your senses?

- You know what they say, better late than never.

- What a stupid expression.

It's too late for you, Jade.

Much too late.

Now that your baby daddy's gone,

your stock at this hospital will plummet

if you're not fired first.

You'll have no money to take care

of those poor little bastard babies.

How sad is that?

- It's not as sad as my dumbass ex-boyfriend

using me to get through medical school

and then being too blind to notice

that I was fucking his dad.

(phone chiming)

Oh, I'm sorry, that's not true anymore, is it?

Go ahead.

Hit me.

- I know you want to.

- I feel bad for you, Jade.

Could have had all this,

but you gave it up for an old, washed up criminal.

- We'll see who's the criminal.

(somber music)

(phone chiming)

- Did you get Damon's bank statements?

- Yes, plus a little something extra

for insurance purposes.

- He's not gonna see what's coming.

- Neither will your stupid little ex.

- That's what Blair was doing in Damon's office.

- You bitch, where is he?

- Please don't hurt me.

- You wanna listen to me now that your baby daddy's

in prison?

Who's gonna protect you?

- You're too late, Spencer.

I already know everything.

(gasping)

- You fucking psychopath.

- You tried to kill me?

- She was self-defense, she's the crazy one.

She was, I'm trying to help you.

Tell them, tell them I'm a good guy.

- You're a piece of shit.

I'm not your baby.

- I am sick of putting up with your shit, Vance.

You are fired from the hospital.

Sir, please, come, take him away.

- No, no, no, no, this is insane.

- Go get yourself checked out, all right,

while I deal with this.

- I'm going to Lancaster.

- I just need to get Damon out of prison first.

(dramatic music)

- Damon. - Jade.

- Damon, oh my God.

I got you out.

- I posted bail.

There's going to be a trial and they have evidence,

so I might be back in soon.

- No, that isn't gonna happen.

- They have evidence that Blair and Spencer were involved.

It's all in his phone.

- God, you amazed me.

- Wait, we have to tell them that you're innocent.

The police need to know this now.

- Not yet.

Chief Walker needs to see this first.

We need to know exactly what we're dealing with.

- I'm so glad you're okay.

- I'm sorry I didn't get to tell you right now.

I didn't know how long it would take before I saw you again.

- Is this what it was like being handcuffed?

- You wanna know what it was like?

- Yeah.

- Let me take you home and show you.

- Thank you.

(laughing)

- Jade.

Jade.

(laughing)

When they put me in my cell,

all I could think about was you.

All I ever come right out and said,

I love you.

I love you, Dr. Jade Lancaster.

- Say it again.

Just one more time, say it again.

- I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

I can't imagine life without you.

Without our babies.

I want this for forever.

- I want you forever.

I love you too, Damon Floyd.

- I love you so much.

- You're my home, Jade.

And I'd do this whole complicated thing all over again

if it means getting here.

Getting you.

If I don't get my happy ending, then no one does.

If I don't get my happy ending, then no one does.

(gunshot)

- Oh my God.

- Go to my bedroom and lock the door.

Don't come out until I say so.

- No, I'm not leaving you.

- Sam, listen to me.

- I'm not your son.

On your knees or I'll kill her.

- Spencer, Spencer, please don't do this.

Okay, I didn't mean to get you fired.

Damon didn't want to leave you, okay?

Leaving you is his biggest regret, please.

- Shut up.

- On the couch.

She's telling the truth.

It doesn't matter that we don't share DNA.

I should have been there for you.

I wanted to be there for you.

Spencer, put the gun down.

We can start over.

We can start over.

(suspenseful music)

(panting)

(siren blaring)

- What happened?

- It's all over.

We're safe.

(panting)

- You tell me, doctor.

- I think you're okay.

It's gonna be okay.

- Okay.

I love you.

- I love you too.

- I love you.

- I'd like to announce this year's top resident

a little early,

but may I first present our new chief of surgery.

Let's all welcome back Dr. Damon Ford.

(audience applauding)

- I have the pleasure of announcing the winning resident.

Only one of the doctors here performed a heart surgery.

It put her on top when others tried to bring her down.

Congratulations to Dr. Jade Lancaster.

(audience applauding)

I will need her help

making another very important announcement.

Dr. Vance, will you join us at the front of the room?

(suspenseful music)

- What the hell is going on here, Damon?

You actually rehired this criminal.

- I'm the criminal?

(suspenseful music)

- Dr. Vance here has not only sabotaged

her residents and patients,

but she's also been stealing money

from the hospital for months.

- I knew that bitch was shady.

- You did not.

- So Dr. Lancaster, what should we do with Dr. Vance?

- You're a disgrace to surgeons everywhere.

And you're a terrible mother.

You're fired.

- You can't do that.

- She just did.

Now get out of my hospital.

(suspenseful music)

(laughing)

- Hello, Vance.

You're under arrest.

- Bye-bye, man.

(suspenseful music)

You're back.

And you're the chief.

Did you just find out this morning?

- Yep.

Right after you left.

- We both got everything we wanted.

(suspenseful music)

There's just one thing missing.

(suspenseful music)

- Yes, yes, a million times yes.

Yes.

(suspenseful music)

- Ladies and gentlemen, we're here to join

Damon and Jade in holy matrimony.

- I fall more in love with you every day.

And I'm never going to stop.

You're my rock.

My home.

My family.

- You have changed every single piece of me.

And I am better because of it.

I love you more than words can express.

- May I?

- You may.

(suspenseful music)

(cheering)

- I now pronounce you man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

(clapping)

(cheering)

(upbeat music)

- What a figure.

- So what?

I'm the chief.

And you're my wife.

We don't have to hide anymore.

I have you when I want.

Where I want.

- It's cheap.

- Jade, what is it?

- The water broke.

The babies are coming.

(upbeat music)

(soft music)

- Can you believe it?

How's she doing?

- She's perfect.

What about him?

- He's yawning.

(laughing)

- How did we get so lucky to Julianne Kester?

- It's a dream come true, Chief Ford.

(soft music)

(soft music)

(soft music)

(upbeat music)
