[Conrad] Previously on The Resident…

-It's multiple sclerosis.
-You will get better.

I actually want a child.
Would you give me one of your eggs?

You want me to be your sperm donor?

I don't like being alone.

I want to be a father.

[Ian] Hi.

I'm here to save my daughter's life.

Who are you again?

You only get one father.

[Billie] So, the two of you…

-Oh, we're friends.
-We're also friends.

So far.

[clock ticking]

Daddy! Daddy!

I'm coming, sweetheart.

Daddy.

It's okay. I'm here, honey.

What's going on?

There was a bad man. He scared me.

There's no one here but me. Look. Look.

See? See?

It was just a dream, a bad dream.

-He was going to hurt me.
-I won't let anyone hurt you.

Can I sleep in your room tonight?

I'll stay right here
until you go to sleep again.

Please?

Up you go. [groans]

["Suitcase" playing]

Look, we are all
pretty blessed here tonight,

wouldn't we agree?

-[all] Yes!
-[whoops]

[giggles]

[Devon] Cheers.

So, uh, which one of us
has the most to celebrate?

-Uh, me.
-Me.

Because I'm having twins. [chuckles]

Perfect, healthy…

Ooh! Hiccupping at this very moment.

…baby boys.

Hear, hear.

-Identicals rule the world.
-[Padma] Oh, yeah.

But in second place,

Devon's trial results just got published
in the New England Journal of Oncology.

-Hey. Respect, man.
-[Devon] Aw, thank you.

Thank you. And not to brag,

but I have a great clinical trial
about to come in, so…

-Yeah. All good.
-[Devon] Mm.

Well, I don't mind taking third place.

I just closed on the perfect condo
for Padma and the babies.

And it's in a great school district,
I might add.

[Devon] Nice.

-AJ is controlling five years out.
-Hear, hear.

[Leela] And Conrad

finally has a new love at last.

That is a big deal.

And what about you?

-Chastain's newest chief resident.
-[Austin] We all know what that means.

You are the most promising
young surgeon at Chastain.

[chuckling] The big news is
I finally have my own office

with my own private shower.

Oh. Which actually means
I have the most to celebrate.

[Austin chuckles]

[Padma chuckling] Oh. Okay. Get a room!

You know, after four boring glasses
of bubbly water,

I think I will make a bathroom run.

Oh, I'll come with.

[exhales]

[breathes sharply]

You okay?

Um… [exhales]

I'm not sure.

Woozy. I felt, uh…

a little faint.

Maybe I got up too fast.

You know, that's been happening.

Lightheaded and…

Padma!

[tense music plays]

[opening theme music playing]

Devon, AJ, don't you guys have work to do?

I feel seriously stressed
with everyone hovering over me.

Padma, you fainted.
Scared all of us to death.

You should've let us
take you to the ER last night.

[Padma] I was dehydrated.

Okay? It's fine. I feel fine today.
It was nothing.

You said you were
still feeling lightheaded.

[pager beeps]

Go. You'll be late.

Devon is meeting Dr. Voss in his new lab.

I want to stay.

-[scoffs]
-Three doctors in the room is plenty.

-[AJ chuckling]
-We've got this.

[Devon] Okay.

-Update me, okay?
-I will.

[siren whooping]

[pants, whimpers]

Ciara?

Oh, Dr. Hawkins. I'm so glad you're here.

-What have you done this time?
-Me? Nothing.

I was viciously attacked.

By a vat of barbecue sauce.

Let me see. Who knew being head chef
would be so dangerous?

-Yeah. [chuckles, sighs]
-Oh.

That's a bad burn.

-How's the hand healing?
-Finger's still sore.

That's to be expected.
You almost cut the damn thing off.

[chuckles] So much for
my samurai knife skills, huh?

Can you clean and dress Ciara's burn?

Hmm? Oh, sure thing.

And, Hundley, give our cooking queen here

one gram of acetaminophen for the pain.

Uh, Bay Four.

-Give me a minute.
-Yeah.

Right this way. [chuckles]

Hope you brought us some
of those buttermilk biscuits.

-[chuckling]
-With that fine honey butter.

I didn't, but you know I will.

As you know, Dr. Sullivan,
pancreatic cancer is usually fatal.

But your tumor was operable,
your nodes were clear

and there's no evidence of metastasis.

But there could still be residual
cancer cells that no test can see.

Yes, but you've had postsurgical
chemo and radiation,

uh, you haven't developed diabetes,
your weight is good,

so I think that,
for the foreseeable future,

you're all clear.

This couldn't be better news, Dad.

You missed the best reason
I have for hope.

I have a great support system right here.

There's nothing I can prescribe
that's better than that.

Thank you. [clears throat]

[Irving] I love your barbecue ribs,
but they aren't worth this, Ciara.

[groans] Best barbecue in all of Alabama.

Atlanta. Unless you're opening up
a new branch.

-[cell phone vibrates]
-Oh…

-[Ciara] Oh, thank you.
-There you go.

Oh, I got to go.
The lunch service won't wait for me.

-Whoa. Dr. Feldman just got started.
-[groans]

That burn needs a lot more attention.

-Ataxic gait.
-Slight confusion.

This is the second time
we've treated her in a month.

[Irving] It's time we talk about
why she's so accident-prone.

Sorry, my friend, but we have
a few more things to check out.

What? Um… [sighs]

Let's go.

We should get Billie on board
for a neuro exam.

Mm, that won't be necessary.

Chefs have a high rate of addiction.

We should start with a tox screen.

Okay.

[Gabbi] And this edema in your legs,
is this recent?

No, but it has gotten worse,
and she's been complaining of headaches.

-Maybe it's preeclampsia.
-What's that?

It's a, uh… a condition during pregnancy
that requires monitoring,

but it's manageable.

Thank you, Dr. Austin,

but I'm gonna dig a bit deeper
before I make a diagnosis.

Ah. Sure.

I see you missed
your last prenatal appointment.

You did what?

Padma.

I'm sorry, okay?

There's just so many appointments,

and I didn't want the ultrasound.

You know what, no one really
knows what those…

electronic vibrations or whatever
do to tiny brains, so…

I'm going to be the bigger man right now
and pretend my head is not exploding.

Padma, you cannot miss
any medical tests or appointments.

Twin pregnancies often have complications.

It's dangerous for you and the babies.

Let's take a look.

I promise no brains will be harmed.

-Okay. Here's baby one.
-[heart beating steadily]

Good size. [chuckles]

Look, he's waving at you.

[chuckling]

And baby two is…

[heart beating slowly]

…right here.

[AJ] One is…

much bigger than the other.

[Padma] I can see that.

What?

-That… that can't be right.
-It's fine. Deep breaths.

[typing]

[heart beating steadily]

[heart beating slowly]

[Padma] Their hearts don't sound the same.

They're… they're identical.
Their… their hearts should be identical.

What's going on?

I'm gonna go discuss this ultrasound
with Dr. Sullivan.

-What?
-[Gabbi] I'll be right back.

[somber music plays]

Who's the president right now?

Um, I don't really follow politics,
to tell you the truth.

I'm… I suffer from fragile sanity.

Oh, take a guess.

Uh, I know it's not Jimmy Carter.

-Do I get a point for that?
-No. No, I'm afraid not.

Oh, um, I forgot to tell you, um…

lately, I've had the memory of a goldfish
with a drinking problem.

[Conrad] Squeeze my hands. Squeeze.

And I've been chalking it up
to not getting any sleep.

-Do you have insomnia?
-No.

I don't want to sleep
because of the nightmares.

-What kind of nightmares?
-[Ciara] Uh…

Usually, I'm trapped

in this water,

no sound.

[breathing erratically]

-[tense music plays]
-[groans]

Why didn't you page me
for a consult sooner?

We were waiting
for the tox screen to come back.

And then, Ciara decompensated rapidly.

[Cade] It wasn't initially clear it was
neurological. Conrad thought it was.

-It's my bad.
-[pager beeps]

We've got this if you're needed in the ER.

-I hate to go. Keep me posted?
-[Conrad] Yeah.

[door opens, closes]

-How's Gigi?
-The same. [sighs]

She had another nightmare.

-Oh. I'm worried.
-Me too.

You know when I was alone with her
on Saturday, she refused to nap.

I tried to get her to talk
about the bad dreams

and what they're about,
but she wouldn't say.

Do you think this could have anything
to do with Nic's death?

[sighs] Yeah, maybe. It's possible.

But Gigi was a tiny baby when Nic died.

I mean, she thinks of Nic
as her guardian angel looking out for her.

Yeah, but trauma
can take years to manifest.

I don't know any other reason
why she'd be afraid.

Yeah, I mean, you control
her screens and play dates.

-Turn off the news.
-I protect her with my life.

[sighs]

-[Billie] Conrad.
-This is brutal, seeing her like this.

I can't stop it.

Can't help.

Fixing things like this
is supposed to be my job.

Hey, it's gonna be okay.

You're a great dad
and a great diagnostician.

You'll get to the bottom of this.

Thank you.

I don't know what I'd do
without your support.

[monitor beeping]

Okay, well, there's our problem.

Our talented chef has a mass
roughly the size of a marble

located between the temporal lobe
and the cerebellum.

Causing all her symptoms.

We're gonna have to operate
to figure out what it is.

It's dangerously situated
near the brain stem.

Let's get informed consent.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Wow. You've all done an incredible job
with the resources we have.

Everybody has been working
around the clock

to meet our deadline
for the diabetes trial.

Well, thank you.

As you know, clinical trials are crucial,
not just for our patients,

but for the health of the hospital, too.

[Devon] And there's an election coming.

We may get a new governor
who plans to slash our budget

$200 million.

Imagine voting for someone
who attacks health care.

Yet, he's polling to win.

Well, the steady stream of clinical
trials, it'll help keep us solvent.

I can't pretend I don't wish

we had the kind of facilities
other labs offer.

Kit, I am confident
in what we created here,

and I know that we're gonna
get the job done.

[cell phone rings]

It's Lewis Varner from Varner Scientific,
sponsor of our trial.

Okay.

I'm so glad you called, Lewis.
I have great news.

The lab is up and running,
and we can't wait to start.

-[cell phone vibrating]
-[chuckles]

Uh, Lewis, this is a mistake.

Can we at least discuss it?

I see. Well, thank you for letting me know
in a timely fashion.

If… if anything changes,

if there's anything I can say or do, uh…

Yes. I hear you.

Well, good luck with everything.

What is it?

For this trial, they've decided to partner
with Baltimore Advanced Sciences

because of their superior facilities.

So they're cancelling our trial.

Yes. There will be other trials, I hope.

I… I'm sure.

We have to talk about this later.
I have to go.

There's a problem with Padma's pregnancy.

Oh, no. What is it?

I'm on my way to find out.

The ultrasound is diagnostic,
there is no doubt,

but I can help.

Well, given how bad this is,
I'm having trouble handling it.

And this is gonna be brutal for Padma.
She's quite fragile.

You have to be careful how you tell her.

Breaking the news is just the beginning.

I've done it many times.
You can trust me to handle it.

-With your help.
-[Devon] Hey.

I came as fast as I could.
What's happening?

Dr. Sullivan is getting ready to explain.

Hi, Padma.

I'm Dr. Ian Sullivan, a pediatric surgeon
specializing in fetal medicine.

Oh, my God.

Please don't let there be anything wrong.

Dr. Sullivan is an expert
and exactly what the twins need.

Tell me what's happening?

Sometimes when babies are growing
in the womb,

the process takes a wrong turn.

And in the past, when this happened,

we couldn't intervene to help the babies.

And, too often…

they would die before they were born.

-No. No.
-No, it's okay. Just let me finish.

That was the past.

Things are different now.

Your twins have something
called twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.

[Austin] It only affects identical twins,
because they…

they share the same placenta.

You see, what's happening
is there are abnormal connections

between the blood vessels
going from one twin to the other.

So, blood is not flowing
evenly between them.

One twin, the larger one,
is getting too much blood,

which will cause his heart to fail.

The heart of the other twin
is not getting enough blood,

which is why he's so small.
We have to use lasers

to cut the blood vessels
linking the babies.

Like this.

See? So they can each have
their own blood supply.

[Austin] So the pregnancy can continue.

And if all goes well, the babies
will thrive to be healthy kids,

and then, ultimately, healthy adults.

[sobbing] You're making it sound simple,
but I don't think it is.

You're right. I have to
tell you that no matter what we do,

the smaller baby is in grave danger
and may not survive.

[crying] I shouldn't have missed
my appointment. This is my fault.

[Ian] There is no way
that this is your fault.

Most likely, no one
would have been able to see this earlier.

[sniffles]

[crying] Just do whatever you have to do.

Please save my babies.

[somber music plays]

Odds.

There is an 80% chance
that the smaller twin will die.

-And the larger baby?
-50-50.

If we don't do the procedure,
it's certain that both twins will die.

I didn't want to put too much on the mom
too soon,

but you're doctors,
you should know everything.

You've helped perfect
this procedure, correct?

Yes, I have.

And I've performed it many times.

We're incredibly lucky
to have you here at Chastain.

But the equipment
I need to do it isn't here.

It requires very specialized tools.
The closest fetal surgery center is in…

Orlando.

We need to transfer Padma
as soon as possible,

and the surgery will have
to be done by a doctor there.

-But we want you to do the surgery.
-Well, and I would love to.

I am incredibly frustrated
that I can't, but…

public hospitals very rarely
have the capability to do fetal surgery.

Let's focus on what we have to do.
How quickly must this happen?

As soon as possible.
The smaller baby could die within hours,

and if that happens,
the other twin will die, too.

Okay, doctors, well then,
let's call Orlando right away.

I'll get Kit to order a helicopter.

[tense music plays]

A mass in my brain.

My aunt's husband, uh,
died from glioblastoma.

It was horrible.

We don't know this is cancer,
much less a GBM.

What else could it be?

[Conrad] Dr. Sutton has to operate
to find out.

The surgery is dangerous
with many possible complications.

-We need to go over them.
-No, I…

[sighs]

I grew up homeless.

I never graduated high school.

I apprenticed in kitchens,
and I learned my trade,

and I won a James Beard Award at 28.

[short chuckle]

I love my life,

and I will take any risk.

You're a badass.

-[chuckles]
-[pager beeps]

-I gotta go.
-Let's book an OR.

[Conrad] We'll be back.

[Devon] Hey.

We can't stay long.
I don't wanna leave Padma alone.

She's not alone. I just paged Conrad.
He's gonna monitor her.

Are you okay?

My heart is breaking for her.

I know.

Poor AJ. So soon after he lost his mother.

This is how life is.

Everything's perfect,
and you think you have it figured out…

Just yesterday, we were all celebrating.

The problems never stop coming,
and we all have to live with that.

But things are different for us now.

We have each other.

Yeah.

And we always will.

What's the helicopter's ETA?

Okay, we'll have the patient waiting.

Half an hour. Orlando is prepared.

-Get Padma ready for transport.
-I wanna go with her.

Of course. I'll get someone
to cover your surgeries.

-You and Leela must both be there.
-Thank you.

[cell phone rings]

Hello, my dear. So, I have some good news.

They're trying me
on a new anti-CD20 antibody

that's been shown to reduce relapse rates,
and so far,

I'm tolerating it really well.

Oh, that's wonderful news.

Bless your new doctors, Randolph,
because I needed some good news.

-What's wrong?
-[Kit] Everything.

Padma's twins have TTTS.

[Bell] Oh, my God.

-So is Ian gonna operate?
-[Kit] He can't.

We have to send them out of state because
we don't have the right facilities here.

Well, Chastain needs more funding
if it's gonna stay a first-class hospital.

Yeah. And if this idiot becomes
our new governor,

we'll have less than we ever had.
He's polling ahead.

It's just so hard being away from you.
I wish I was there to help.

No. You're exactly where you need to be.

You don't have to worry about me
or Chastain.

Just concentrate on
finishing the treatment.

It's just, a few more months
just seems like forever.

[Kit] Hmm. But it'll be worth it.

When you come back home
you'll be healthy and strong

for our wedding.

I can't wait.

Love you.

[thunder rumbles]

-[monitor alarm beeping]
-[gasping]

I have to take a quick listen.

It's hard… [inhales] …to breathe.

-Try to stay calm.
-[exhales heavily]

I'll give you some oxygen,
it'll help you feel better, okay?

[breathing erratically]

[monitor beeping rapidly]

Here we go.

[beeping steadies]

-Better?
-[breathing heavily]

You have fluid building up in your lungs
and the rest of your body.

Sometimes with TTTS,

the mom starts mirroring
the symptoms of her babies.

That's probably what caused you
to faint in the bar.

Helicopter's here.

That's a good thing.

She's mirroring.

[dramatic music plays]

[thunder rumbles]

[Kit] I'm sorry. They barely managed
to land safely.

-They're grounded. They can't take off.
-What?

It's okay. It's just a small delay.

All right, we have to take her back.

[thunderclap]

Padma can't afford to wait any longer.

She's showing signs
of maternal mirror syndrome.

Mom's life is now at risk, too?

Surgery's the only way
to save Padma and the babies.

We're out of time.

We have to find a way
to do the surgery here.

Devon.

Hey. We're headed into the ICU.

Okay, good. I'll page Cade.

Have her meet us there.

Kit. How can I help?

Is there any way to do the surgery
with what we have at Chastain?

No. But when I saw the weather
coming in, I made a few calls.

Lundsford College of Medicine
is teaching surgical residents

how to operate on fetuses
in their sim lab.

They may have the equipment we need.

Bell's been teaching at Lundsford.

I'll get him involved immediately.

[tense music plays]

[Bell] What's going on?

A lot. Can you get the Lundsford College
of Medicine to do us a favor?

[Padma panting]

-[monitor beeping rapidly]
-Blood pressure's spiking.

-O2 sats are dropping.
-[Padma] I'm scared.

The alarms…

[Conrad] It's just telling us
your oxygen levels are low.

[alarms stop]

Hey, let's give 'em some space to work.
We'll watch from outside.

If she needs you, you're right here.

-I'll be right outside?
-Okay.

The diuretic and blood pressure meds
will keep you stable

until we do the procedure.

-Are these medications safe for the baby?
-[Cade] Absolutely.

In fact, ten out of ten babies

prefer blood pressure
to be lower than 140.

It makes for more excellent
swimming conditions.

[Austin] Hey.

Good news.

Bell pulled some strings at Lundsford.
They're gonna send over the fetoscope

and some minimally invasive
fetal surgery tools via police escort.

So Ian will be able to do the surgery.

Okay, good. I'll go let
the OR circulating nurse know,

make sure everyone's ready.

All right.

-Hey, how's it going in here?
-[grunts]

How's her pedal edema?

How much proteinuria is on her dip?

You're not the doctor or surgeon now,
you're the father,

here to support the mom.

Okay, well, in that capacity
is my next question.

Should we wait for the weather to clear
instead of trying to jerry-rig this thing?

No.

There's no one else in this time zone
more qualified to make this call. Look.

He's done the science, had the outcomes.

You're in the best hands.

Thank you all for your energy
in the middle of the night.

[Jessica] Well, we're honored to be a part
of Chastain's first fetal procedure.

The fetoscope has arrived.

[Devon] Dr. Sullivan, are you confident
you can make the GI tower

compatible with the fetoscope?

[Ian] Doing surgery in small spaces
has made me a bit of an AV whiz.

The light post is smaller, but that means
we'll white balance ahead of time.

And we'll pressure limit the suction port

to account for the smaller
luminal diameter.

[Jayci] The cavalry has arrived,

though I can already sense
there are way too many

advanced degrees in my OR.

[Jessica] And it looks like
we have more company.

[Jayci] Dr. Voss said the residents
learning about fetal surgery at Lundsford

are going to watch the famous
Dr. Sullivan do his magic tricks.

[Devon] Ian, have you met
our night anesthesiologist?

-Dr. Lee.
-[Ian] Nice to meet you, Dr. Lee.

[Jayci] Three lives in our hands tonight.
Pressure's on.

[Ian] I'll go scrub in.

[tense music plays]

-[suspenseful music plays]
-[thunder rumbling]

-Hi, sweetheart.
-Hey, they're ready for you in the OR.

Just getting my good glasses.
You gonna watch?

-Oh, yes.
-Great. After you.

[Conrad] Can you see the mass yet?

[Billie] Almost there.

The tissue surrounding it
appears enflamed.

Dissecting down carefully.

Does it seem like a malignancy?

[Billie] Too soon to tell.

All right, hold on, I feel it.

That's odd, it's…

It's encapsulated.

So, no glioblastoma.

Could it be a teratoma?

[Billie] No. I think…

it's an egg.

[exhales sharply]

That's not a tumor.

Nope.

A parasite.

Which means our patient is gonna be fine.

That is such great news.

-I'm gonna go check on Padma.
-I'll join you when I'm done here.

They haven't started yet.

-Ian just got here.
-[fellow] I heard he saved triplets once.

No one thought using a laser
inside the uterus would work.

He's a miracle worker.
Touched by the hands of God.

[Ian] All right, Padma.

Why don't you take your sister's hand?

And why don't you hold my arm
with your other hand.

All right?

If at any point you feel any pain,
you stop me.

Okay?

Why don't we start with some lidocaine.

[monitor beeping]

Okay. You're gonna feel some pressure now.

This is the tube through which
I will insert the fetoscope.

[alarm beeping]

[Jayci] Problem.
Mom's BP is spiking again.

I'm nearly maxed out on nicardipine.

What's happening?

-Her mirror syndrome is getting worse.
-[Devon] Do we need to stop?

Yes. Take her back to the ICU.
Her heart could fail.

-[Ian] We'll lose the twins.
-[Padma] No!

[Austin] When the problem is the heart,
you page Dr. Austin.

Let's get IV furosemide hanging.
And I need an ultrasound wand.

[Padma wheezing]

AJ, please.

Don't want to die.

Don't want babies…

[Austin] Padma, look at me.

No one is dying today, you hear me?

We're keeping all three of you alive.

He's managing your pressures so
we can continue with the procedure, okay?

Right, and you should start
to feel better in a moment.

No, no, it's not working.
Her heart could still fail.

[Austin] Another minute, Devi.
I will not risk Padma's life,

I promise you that.

We… We can't wait!

[monitor beeping rapidly]

[beeping steadies]

[sighs]

Blood pressure's coming back down
to normal range.

Of course it is.

I can breathe.

Of course you can.

You watch that heart like a hawk.

I'm gonna keep her stable, you just do
what you need to do, all right?

[Ian] You're doing great, Padma.

Now, we're going to insert
the fetoscope, okay?

This will give us the best look
we have of your babies.

Take a look at that monitor to your left.

[monitor beeping]

140. Strong.

That's the larger twin.

[heart beating slowly]

You're losing him, Sullivan.

[Ian] I'm now inserting the laser
to burn the connecting blood vessels.

[tense music plays]

[Jessica] The uterus is filling
with blood.

Bleeding upon entry
with the transplacental approach

can happen.

[Conrad] This is a known risk
of the surgery.

[Billie] All that blood will make it
difficult to see.

She's bleeding out.

[Ian] Heart rate's at 62.

Can I have one liter
of lactated Ringer's, please?

[Devon] And infuse the uterus
with fluid, and clear the field.

[Billie] This is awful.

Mother and twins are crashing.

Come on.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

[tense music plays]

[Ian] All clear.

Now ablating the remaining blood vessels.

[Jessica] Incredible.

[Conrad] He barely blinked.

How did he do that?

I don't know.

[heart beating at normal rate]

[Austin] And the smaller one's heart rate
is climbing to 103.

[laughs]

[applauding]

Ah…

-Yes! Yes! Yes!
-[cheering]

[fellow] Wow!

You did great.

[indistinct chatter]

-Ian.
-Hey.

I want to thank you.

-You were masterful yesterday.
-Oh…

Well, you have been
every day since I've hired you.

You're too kind.

No, it's the truth.

You're a terrific addition
to the hospital.

Well, Bell played a huge role,
even in absentia.

Hard to believe, in the middle
of his treatment in Minnesota,

he was able to score that equipment
we needed from Lundsford.

Yeah, I wanted to discuss that with you.

It's killing me that we don't have
what you need here at Chastain.

Everything goes back to Lundsford today,
and we're right back where we started.

Well, maybe I could help raise some money

so we could build an intrauterine
surgical center of our own.

That would be amazing.

I have a pretty fair track record
at raising funds.

Grateful parents often become
faithful donors.

Dr. Sullivan, you're needed in OR Three.

-We'll talk later.
-Appendectomy on a teenager.

There's no one else on call? I just
finished that four-hour biliary atresia.

-Sorry, they tried. It's an emergency.
-Be right there.

[man over pa system] Dr. Christian,
please report to radiology.

Dr. Christian to radiology.

[pills rattling]

[dramatic music plays]

You see that?

Steady as a rock. [chuckles]

And Biden is president. And he won.

But the best news is
you don't have cancer.

I had a cute little worm.

Which you got
from eating undercooked pork.

I can't believe I did that.

My kitchen test experiments
with undercooked sausage

will not be repeated. [chuckles]

[Conrad] Well, at least now
you have an unusual pet.

I thought about naming him, but I think
I'm just gonna flush him down the toilet.

How's Gigi?

She had another nightmare last night.

I'm so sorry.

-Two nights in a row?
-Yep.

I know a good child psychologist if you
wanna talk about how to handle this.

It may come to that,
but I've been doing some reading.

First, there are a few things
I can try at home.

Hey, you.

Hey. Guess who got off early.

I convinced Irving to take my shift.

Do you wanna get Gigi
and go for some pizza?

-Oh, Billie, you should come with.
-Yeah.

You're so kind, but, uh,
I have two more surgeries today.

-Have fun.
-All right. See you later.

I can't go either.
I gotta pick something up for Gigi

and work on this nightmare situation.

But I wanna see you tonight.

She goes to bed at 8:30. Come by after?

-I'll bring the pizza.
-[Conrad] Mm.

Okay, so I don't get it.

Why didn't you tell him
how you felt about him?

-Maybe I did.
-No.

'Cause if you did,
he would be with you right now.

I doubt that.

At Kit and Bell's engagement party,
I had my speech prepared.

Conrad left with Cade
before I could get a word out.

Ah, that's painful. You missed the moment.

-But there's an upside.
-Yeah?

Conrad and I are closer
than we've ever been.

-We're best friends.
-Ouch.

My take.

Conrad chose Cade
thinking you weren't interested

because you were Nic's best friend.

He figured that was a line
you wouldn't cross.

And you allowed him to think that
because you never crossed it.

-Now it's too late.
-No.

It's never too late to win
the love of your life back.

[soft music plays]

It's dark out here, Daddy.

I know.

I want you to see something beautiful
that you can only see in the dark.

What kind of moon is it?

A crescent moon.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Yes, Daddy.

[owl hooting]

[Conrad chuckles]

-You hear that owl?
-Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Owls love the dark.

That's when they come out.

Aren't owls beautiful?

I love owls.

Yeah, there are so many beautiful things
in the dark. What else is there?

-Stars?
-Ah, stars.

Yeah, we love stars, right? What else?

-[sighs]
-Can we read The Runaway Bunny?

We can.

But I got you a new book.

This one is called…

There's a Nightmare in My Closet.

No, Daddy, that sounds scary.

Well, it's not.
It's about being brave at bedtime.

Turns out the nightmare
isn't scary at all.

What do you say? You wanna hear it?

-Okay.
-Yeah, okay.

Get in tight. Snuggle up.

Okay, now I want you to go to sleep
and have good dreams.

I know you've had some bad ones,
but that's over now.

You know you're safe.

[kisses]

There's nothing that can hurt you.

I'll go to sleep if you stay with me.

Okay, I will.
