- I had a car accident. Lost a lot of my memory.
(narrator): Previously on Doc..
- I found a lump, so I went in to get a mammogram.
- Dr. Joan Ridley will be out of the office tomorrow
for a conference.
Word's she's sick, and she's trying to hide it.
- Are you asking if Dr. Larsen was vindictive?
We have a play here. - Absolutely.
- Convince Nora you love her! - I don't!
- Stop fighting!
It's only been a few months and she lives in Chicago.
(Amy): I had a memory. You cheated on me.
Who was she? - It was Nora.
- Okay, gentlemen, there's the turn.
There's your flush draw.
- Check.
- Hundred.
- I fold.
- It's too rich for my blood. - Whatcha got there, Bobby Ho?
You holdin' aces or reppin' a flush draw?
- Pay to see, my friend.
- You know what?
I think I will.
- Here comes the river.
- I check.
- Sorry, stud. Gotta go all in.
(whistling)
- Ooh.
Uh-oh now. - Could be bluffing.
(laughter)
- Oh, I know you are.
(chuckles)
(clearing throat)
- Let's see 'em, fellas.
- I called you.
- Ace, King high.
Pair of nines takes the pot.
- Pair of nines against that draw?
You knew! You knew I was bluffing!
- Hey, can't tell about the tell, my friend.
You know, I heard you were slippin' but, uh,
well, at least I can say
I was the one who put you out of your misery.
(all shouting)
(theme music)
- Hey. - Morning.
Sorry I got in so late,
you were already asleep and I didn't want to wake you.
(soft music)
- Sorry. - You okay?
- I...
I found out that Michael was cheating on me.
With Nora.
- Um, did... that came out in therapy?
- No, I had a memory.
- I'm sorry. That's... that's a lot.
- I am so livid, I...
- Look, I mean, you're gonna feel that way for a while.
But I'm here, okay?
(breathing deeply)
Whatever you need.
(deep breathing)
(Katie): Hey, Dad.
- Hey, sweetheart. How'd you sleep?
- Uh, okay, I guess.
How was therapy?
- Therapy's complicated.
You know that.
- That's not an answer.
- I guess I'd just say that
she and I are working through some things,
and... we'll get there.
- Right.
I'm gonna get ready for school.
- Katie never said anything to him all these years?
- Apparently not.
- Your brain fed you this now
because it's what you needed to help her.
- She never wanted me to remember this.
I think maybe I should just leave it alone.
- She had a panic attack
because she thinks she blew up your marriage.
And it's hitting her now because...
Nora just left
and it feels like it's happening all over again.
Tell her what you remembered.
Get it all out in the open with Michael,
or it'll only get worse for Katie.
- I spoke to surgical oncology, they can fit you in at noon.
So just text me when you get here,
I'll meet you down there, okay?
- I will... thank you.
- Don't need to thank me, Rache.
- Jake? - Yeah.
- Please don't tell anyone about this.
- Of course.
- But I'm not fighting anyone now.
- Here for a consult?
- Dr. Heller, meet Bobby Ho,
world-class poker player.
- On the worst downswing of his life.
- He's convinced he's got a tell
and it must be neurological.
- Okay. Why the restraints?
- Well, he flipped over a poker table
and assaulted one of the other players.
We got him on a 72-hour hold.
- Hey, it's better than County.
(scoffing)
- I don't know what's happening to me.
I'm not sleeping.
All I do is obsess about what I'm doing wrong.
- I mean, it sounds like you're under a lot of pressure.
- You don't get it. I'm the Clooney of cool.
And right now, even if I sniff Casa Amigos,
I fall off that motorcycle.
- It's a good metaphor.
- Well, he's also Aaron Judge
who can't hit a Little League pitcher.
- I'm sure this all seems like small potatoes to you,
but I got one year of community college.
Failed out 'cause I was doing
the only thing I was ever good at.
Nine years I spent
learning how to control every hand gesture,
facial expression, emotion, and now...
if I don't have mastery of poker, I got nothing.
No house payment, no money for kids' schools.
I'm melting down, man.
- We need more information. - Yeah.
Oh, here comes Julie. She'll know.
- Clear out then, we don't want to make it obvious.
- Let me know what you find out. - Good morning!
- Morning.
- Dare I ask about your cowboy?
- Well, he's not mine.
But he's pretty good.
- So, Dr. Ridley's out again today?
- Another conference. - Any idea which one?
- ACOG.
- Huh. - Weird, right?
What's she doing with a bunch of OBGYN's?
- Hmm.
- Diane, I am Dr. Larsen,
I have the report from the ER,
but I'd like to hear from you what happened.
- I've been on and off with liver problems
the last few years,
but this morning, just this stomach pain
came out of nowhere.
- You're her daughter? - Granddaughter.
(laughing)
Her and my mom were both really young when they had kids.
So, ER doc said it was a clot? That it cut off blood flow?
- That's right. We have you on a heparin drip
to prevent future clotting, but I'm afraid your ALT
and AST are over 400.
- That's high, right?
- It means that the liver damage
is near total and irreversible.
And because a thrombectomy wasn't possible,
a transplant is your only other option.
(exhaling deeply)
- Hey. Hey, we'll get through this, Nana.
Just like everything else.
- How does it work? The transplant?
- Well, we need to find you a suitable donor
off the national database, which is called UNOS.
Sometimes we get lucky and we get a good match quickly.
Other times-- - So, what if I donate?
- Uh...
- You can just take a piece, right?
Livers regenerate? - It's not quite that simple.
- There's gotta be risks. - Yes.
Diabetes, hypertension, and inflammatory disease.
Not to mention the surgery itself--
- I don't care about that. - No, let her talk, Lily.
- I'm sure you've heard about people donating bone marrow,
or even a kidney, but this is different.
There's extensive blood loss and weeks-long recovery.
- All completely acceptable to me...
- No. This is not an option.
- Hey, we can at least talk about it, right?
- Parents sacrifice for their children,
not the other way around.
And I mean it, Lily.
Don't push this.
(Lawyer): In your packets, you'll find the details
of what is a hefty payout for Dr. Miller,
with attendant NDAs and writ of prohibition,
barring further litigation.
- So, this will put the whole episode
behind us once and for all?
- It will.
- I just can't. I have to give this a chance.
- Michael? Are we boring you?
- No, but clearly my opinion had no sway here.
- Well, we don't want this dragging out,
and we don't want it going to court.
Let's bring them in.
(door opening)
(tense music)
- I think you'll find everything
in line with our last conversation.
Westside's insurance will cover
the settlement to the Dixon family.
Dr. Miller waives all rights
against the hospital in perpetuity
in exchange for a $500,000 severance package.
Just needs Dr. Miller's signature.
(uneasy music)
- Is there a problem with the settlement?
- No, but circumstances have changed.
For Dr. Miller and for the hospital.
We're looking to go in a different direction now.
- The last time we were here,
Katie brought up the fact that you were looking at apartments
and that she felt you were giving up on her father.
- Yes, I remember. Quite clearly.
- You seem a bit agitated about that?
- It turns out that maybe I wasn't the one who gave up.
- Can you explain more?
- Katie took her father's phone
and discovered that he has been seeing another woman.
- I only showed her
because I thought it might make her be nice to him,
but she can't do it.
- It's too late.
Katie, it was already too late when you showed me those texts.
- And what does Michael say about this?
- He doesn't know about it. - Any of it?
- Any of it.
- Well, don't you think you... should try to talk to him?
- There's nothing to talk about.
I-I'm sorry, but I'm moving out.
I am not leaving you but I can't...
I cannot stay in that house anymore.
It's the best thing that I can do for our family right now.
Hey! How's it going today?
- Dad said therapy was complicated.
Looked pretty wigged out.
- No, no. Everything's fine. - Really?
- Yeah, I mean, there's a few things to work out but--
- 'Cause now it feels like there's something
you're both not saying.
- How about we have dinner tonight, just us?
7:30 at my place.
- Just us?
- Yeah. What's wrong with that?
- I don't know. I guess I'll find out.
- Dr. Larsen, I just spoke to the nurse,
and my grandmother's platelets are decreasing, which is bad.
- I know. I've contacted UNOS
to try to get her moved her up the list.
- And?
- It's still gonna take some time.
- We have to wait for her to be in dire shape
but by then her chance of success plummets.
- It's a bit of a Catch-22
with so few donors and so many people needing organs.
- Then I'm sure you'll agree you have to test me.
- Lily, your grandmother is my patient
and she has been very clear that she doesn't want that.
- She's like my mother.
Do you understand that?
She raised me since my mom died when I was three.
- I'm sure this is very hard,
but for what it's worth,
I wouldn't let my own daughter do this for me.
- Please just run the tests.
If I'm not a match, it'll be a moot point.
But if I am, I'll be her only option.
Then you can let me figure out what's right with her.
- We've always maintained that Dr. Larsen created
a hostile work environment.
You've always tried to rebut that.
Since that time,
we've seen an upstanding police officer take hostages
because he was so angry at her treatment of him.
- This is preposterous.
- And now, what's emerged is that a doctor on her staff
has committed suicide because he was wrongfully terminated.
- Brian Clark resigned because he had a gambling problem.
- And then you hired his daughter,
who was subsequently arrested for cyber attacks
on the hospital because she was so angry
at Dr. Larsen's treatment of her father.
- As Dr. Hamda just indicated,
our internal investigation showed that this is--
- If you're going to cite your own internal investigation,
perhaps you'd be open to full disclosure?
- What do you want, Marcia?
- My client would like to waive all rights
to his settlement package,
in exchange for a three year contract
wherein he retains his credentials here at Westside.
- You want your job back?
- Given Dr. Hamda's inherent conflict of interest,
perhaps it would be best if he recused himself?
(scoffing)
- Michael.
(uneasy music)
(clearing throat)
- So, your CT scan's negative.
Bloodwork's clean, EKG normal.
- There's gotta be other tests.
- Of course there are, but I may have a better idea.
- Is that Bobby Ho? - He used to be.
- Dude, you can't still be bummin'
about that bad beat in Reno.
- What bad beat?
- World Series of Poker Semifinals.
Pocket Queens goes down
to an inside straight draw on the river.
That was painful. - Hmm.
- Any relationship between that incident and your symptoms?
- I don't get the yips, Dr. Walker.
I lost the tournament because that guy figured out my tell,
and the slide began from there.
- I am here to help,
especially if it means sitting next to the legend.
- Seven-card stud, Peter. Absolutely no pun intended.
- No, no. It's gotta be Hold 'Em.
Same game he plays.
- This is gonna be rockin'!
- But you can't simulate a game like this.
Playing for cotton balls?
- It's the emotional stakes that matter.
One-time buy-in for 30 cotton balls.
Peter will be very upset if he has to leave his idol
and go back to work.
And you... well,
if you can't beat us, that's abject humiliation, right?
(intriguing music)
- Raise three.
- I'm out.
- Call. - Fold.
(intriguing music continues)
- Bet five. - Classic Ho C-Bet.
Guy gets aggressive early and often.
- Are you actually a doctor?
(Gina laughing) - Spicy! I call.
- Fold.
(sharp inhale)
- Bet seven.
- Can't scare me.
- Okay.
- Six on the river. Bobby?
- I'm all in.
- Wow. All in on the first hand.
- Careful, Peter, you call, you walk.
- Yeah.
- Live to fight another day.
- Pair of sixes.
- Oh my God, you are the king!
- Actually, I think he just got lucky.
Peter's a pigeon. - Come on, I'm a hawk.
- What's going on?
- Do you see it?
- Dilated pupils?
- I... uh, that wasn't on the game tape.
- Yeah, it's subtle,
but the players you're up against
would definitely notice it.
- Ever feel your heart racing? Sweaty palms?
- Of course.
My blood's definitely pumping during games.
But yeah, the other day driving to the casino,
my hands got kind of clammy.
- Pheochromocytoma?
- That could explain him flipping the table.
- And my tell, right?
This means you guys figured it out?
- We'd have to do an endoscopy to look for ectopic lesions.
- She's hypotensive and tachy.
- Let's push fluids, but hydrate gently
and monitor for edema.
- Lily's getting married in a few months.
Any way you think you could...
keep me around 'til then?
- I have to tell you,
I tested her and she's an excellent match.
- You tested her when I said no?
- She begged, and I haven't even told her the results yet.
- Well, there's no way in hell
I am putting her in that kind of danger!
No way!
- Why don't I bring her in here and--
- It's my fault that I have this!
(Diane breathing deeply)
I've... I've been a drunk since I was 15.
- But there's no mention of alcoholism in your chart.
- I got sober 24 years ago.
I never told any of my doctors.
- Why not?
- There are parts of my past
that I never wanted Lily to know about.
I had my daughter Nina when I was 17.
You'd think having a baby would shake some sense into me.
When she turned 14, I figured I'd give her a beer,
that way I wouldn't have to drink alone.
Pretty soon, she was just like me.
Except when she had Lily,
she actually tried hard to be better.
For a while, she was.
She even hit the meetings.
One night, she calls me...
wasted.
Asked me if I'm sober.
Can I come get her?
I said yes.
I passed out with a bottle in my hand.
An hour later,
her car was wrapped around a telephone pole.
(Amy sighs)
- Lily knows how her mother died.
But not why.
And... not that I killed her.
- Oh, Diane, I'm so sorry. - Don't be.
And don't ever ask me
to take anything from that girl again.
I have already taken enough.
(sighs)
(TV playing in the background)
(glass clattering)
(laughter on TV)
(tense music)
(music swells)
(glass breaking)
(woman on TV): Guess we'll have to start over!
(Amy laughing, then sobbing)
- The transplant has a high probability
of success with this level of compatibility.
- Matches on five of six HLA markers, absolutely.
How's the donor's health?
- She's young, she should recover well.
- Minimal synthetic function, sky-high enzymes.
Patient can't wait. So... what's the hold-up?
- She doesn't think that she deserves a second chance.
So far she has refused the transplant.
- Alcoholic? - Yeah, it runs in the family.
And the donor would be her granddaughter.
- With that family history,
living with half a liver's a real gamble.
- She doesn't know.
The patient told me in confidence,
so I can't disclose it.
And the granddaughter, she won't back down.
- I'm not taking out that young woman's liver
unless she's going in with open eyes.
And I won't ask any of my surgeons to do it either.
- Dr. Ridley's not at ACOG, she didn't even register.
And I checked the other conferences.
Chicago, Dallas... she registered but no show.
- So those were just a cover story.
- I don't know, but what if we check
to see if she's a patient here?
- You'd have to put in your code.
She'd see it. Everyone would.
- But if she's operating on people
when she shouldn't be...
You want to go to HR or Dr. Hamda
with nothing but conjecture?
Hey, it was my idea.
- I am a naive intern,
you are bucking for chief resident.
(intriguing music)
- No record.
No labs. No scans?
- She knows all the specialists in the building,
why would she go somewhere else?
- This should help you feel better,
but the results of the latest bone marrow biopsy
show effects on all three blood lineages
plus a strong autoimmune component.
- Not exactly the news I was hoping for.
- I suggest you reach out to Ethan.
Get a support system in place.
- I'm not using this to thaw the freeze between us.
- You know, in my experience,
even estranged families need transparency
when it comes to illness.
He'll be angry you hid it,
and you'll regret not calling him.
- I'm not going into triage mode just yet.
- It's progressing quickly, Joan.
And you certainly can't maintain
a high-leverage, high-stress job.
- Ron, I think you're forgetting who you're talking to.
- Joan...
- There are things we can do
to keep me on my feet.
So let's do them.
(sighing)
- Tell me this is a play for more money.
- I want to be a doctor.
And I'm not pulling my kids out of school
to move to Des Moines.
- No one else in Minneapolis will hire you?
- Well, what are you saying?
When people call you?
- I haven't breathed a word of this to anyone,
as per our agreement.
- No one will touch me with a 10-foot pole, Michael.
(Michael): Everyone here knows what you did.
You'll walk in a pariah.
- You've never lied about anything important?
When you were desperate?
The only thing that I love more than being a doctor
is my family.
And I'm doing what I have to for them.
- Well, there's nothing here, Dr. Walker. No tumour.
- You're sure?
- Mm, there's a benign cyst in the wall of his duodenum,
but doesn't need to come out.
- Can you remove it anyway?
You're already in there,
and it'll only take you two minutes.
- One minute. But what's the point?
- Just trust me.
- Hey.
It's gonna be okay. - You can't know that.
- Mia usually takes my word for it.
- It's gonna be okay?
That is your big move?
- Well, I mean,
I usually supplement it with a promise of ice cream.
(chuckling)
(phone vibrating)
(Rachel sighs)
Go ahead. You should take that.
- Yeah, one sec.
Hey, you hanging in there?
- Yeah. But I've got a bit of a complicated patient situation,
and with Joan out, protocol says
I come to you for sign-off.
- Um, I'm in Radiology right now with a patient but,
listen, you make the call and I'll back you, okay?
- Uh, great. Thanks.
- Yeah, you got it.
- Uh, Lily, I'm glad I ran into you.
Hematology has your results,
they should be in your patient portal.
- Wait, what did they say? Am I a viable candidate?
- Unfortunately,
I'm only allowed to share your HLA profile with you.
I can't reveal how it compares to your grandmother's.
- Oh my God, this is absurd. - She refused disclosure.
I'm sure you can understand my hands are tied.
- She refused?
Because I'm a match!
- Talk to her.
Tell her everything she means to you.
- Okay.
- Hey!
- I'm okay, Mom. Really. - How long have you been here?
- Ten minutes. I texted you as soon as I heard she was here.
- Can I see her chart?
- Amy, it's a panic attack. - Did you have chest pain?
- EKG's clean. We can run an echo
if you're really concerned about a cardiac event.
- We're not.
- Oh, is that your unilateral decision?
- Mom, please don't. - You're making it worse.
- I'll have a nurse come back in to take those electrodes off.
(Amy sighs)
- What were you doing at the hospital?
- I-I came to see you.
I got to the lobby
and I started feeling dizzy and short of breath.
- Whatever you said to her this morning alarmed her,
so she came to ask what you wanted to talk about.
- All I said was that I wanted to have dinner.
- It's fine, Mom, I probably overreacted.
I'm just worked up.
- Okay, then. Should we get those stickies off?
- Maybe we should step out.
(Michael): We'll be right back.
Let's move her to a private room for now.
- What are you doing? - Did you tell her?
Before we've even had a chance to talk?
- Oh, you think I want to make you the bad guy?
That's what you're afraid of?
- Well, did you? - No! I didn't.
Your role as Mr. Clean is safe and sound.
- You hadn't touched me in almost two years.
Not even a hand on my shoulder! I was devastated and alone.
- I don't want to hear this, Michael!
- Yeah? Well, you're gonna hear it!
It was less than three months and we only met twice.
She was living in Chicago,
and the instant you showed any sign of drifting back to me,
I cut it off with her, because I still loved you
and wanted to save our marriage.
Four days later, you packed your bags and left
without even saying a word to me.
Last night was literally the first time
you told me you knew.
What does that say to you, Amy?
Who finds out their spouse is having an affair
and doesn't even bother to confront them?
That's how cut off you were!
- And after I left,
you just picked up again with Nora?
- No.
I was in despair.
Didn't even call her for over a year.
- But you married her.
- She was kind,
and she helped me pick up the pieces.
And now you've gone and shattered them all over again!
- Do you have any idea
how hard it's been for me these last few months?
Everyone else is knowing more about my life than I do,
and people feeding me these curated pieces of my history?
- That is not what I am doing.
- You made me believe
that I was the only one responsible!
I begged you to fill in the blanks, Michael!
- Until last night, I had no idea
this had anything to do with the end of our marriage!
- Sure, I guess that's what you'll tell yourself
so you can hold onto your precious moral high ground.
- I don't give a damn about moral high ground!
- You know, I've gotten pretty used to people hiding
in the tall grass, but I never thought
you would be one of them.
But maybe you've changed just as much as I have.
Only you don't want to admit it.
I'm gonna go talk to our daughter now.
Alone.
Katie, I need to tell you something.
It's gonna be hard to hear.
I had a memory
of you telling me about Dad's affair.
- You didn't say anything to him, did you?
- No.
But I think
that this is what's been causing your panic attacks.
- Okay, but...
he'll never forgive me
if he knows I'm the reason you left.
- I left because...
because a bomb went off in our marriage when Danny died.
If anything, having you
gave me something to hold onto.
- You don't even remember.
- I know myself well enough to know
the depth of my love for you.
From the day you were born.
And I know that secrets make you sick.
This one's been sitting on your chest for a long time.
It's time for you to breathe again.
(gentle music)
- This isn't where you're gonna make your first move, is it?
- I got more game than that. - That's to be determined.
- I emailed Dr. Ridley hours ago.
She always responds right away unless she's in surgery.
I think we've gotta talk to Dr. Hamda.
- And say what? We think she's playing hooky?
- We gotta do something.
- Well, I guess we could try and get into her office,
do some quick recon.
- Shift change is at six.
Meet me at the nurses' station at 5:58.
- We cannot afford for this Dixon lawsuit to go public
and that's exactly what will happen
if Richard doesn't cooperate with the settlement.
- Is anyone even considering what it'll say about
our culture if we ask people to work side by side
with him after what he did?
- You're worried about Amy.
- Come on, Lisa. I'm worried about everyone.
- Well, I've heard you complaining,
but I haven't heard a solution.
- He wants to be a doctor
and stay in Minneapolis for his family.
Can't you make some calls?
We could even pay his salary for a year or two.
Wherever he lands, they can have him for free.
- Now that's creative.
- I had to go to the ER for a bit.
Where's Lily? Did you talk to her?
(snorting)
- Yeah, we talked.
She just couldn't let it go.
On and on about how I saved her
when her mother died,
how it was her turn to save me.
So I told her the truth.
She couldn't get out of here fast enough.
- Hey, I have a delivery here
but I'm gonna need to see some ID.
- For what? - A bottle of vodka.
- To a hospital?
(uneasy music)
- No! No!
Get out! Now!
What are you doing?
- I tried three different apps,
I didn't know which one was gonna come through.
- No! Stop it!
Lily loves you and she is gonna come back here,
and what do I tell her when she does?
That UNOS kicked you off the list for this?
That you just washed your best chance
of survival down the drain?
- You really think I deserve to live?
- I don't know.
But Lily deserves for you to live!
So you'll excuse me
if I'm not gonna let you sit here
and wallow in self-pity instead of--
(monitor beeping)
Diane?
Diane.
(machines beeping rapidly)
I need some help in here!
Code Blue!
I'm talking candles and dinner and sex,
for the first time in two years.
And I thought, okay, there's a chance, maybe.
And then I found out he was cheating on me.
With Nate.
- So, he's gay now?
- It was code for some tramp in Chicago.
He met her at a conference that I was supposed to be at.
- Guess you should've gone, huh?
- I couldn't even look at him.
And then I tried and I...
I thought...
God, I'm so stupid.
- Feelings are difficult.
It's why people drink.
- I don't want...
any feelings ever again.
- Come on now.
(soft piano playing in the background)
- You're hot.
(bartender moaning)
(Amy breathing heavily)
- So, so stupid.
(breathing slowing down)
- I'll get you a cab.
- The alcohol caused a heart arrhythmia.
We're still trying to assess how much damage it did.
Without a liver transplant,
it's unlikely that she will last the week.
(Lily gasping)
- This is all my fault. - No.
- Yes, yes.
All these years she carried the shame of that secret,
and still she stayed on the wagon and showed up for me,
but, but the minute she opens up, I turn on her.
And now I...
how do I live with myself if she dies?
- Now you know how I feel.
- Hey, Nana! Hey!
(Diane laughing weakly)
- She's stabilized and there was no long-term damage
to her other vital organs.
- But she just crashed because of alcohol intake!
- She has been sober for 24 years.
This was a relapse in an extremely vulnerable moment.
- You can try to convince UNOS to relist her
after she's been sober for three months.
- She won't last the week.
- You're asking me
to put a healthy liver into that woman.
When there are viable candidates
who won't squander such a valuable resource.
- She won't squander it. - And you know that how?
- Because her granddaughter will be cutting open her body
to save her.
And she won't betray that trust.
- Flush.
(sighs)
- Full house!
- Oh! He's back! He's back!
- I see order has been restored in the universe.
- Thanks to you and that surgeon.
It's like a feral monkey's off my back.
- And the dilated pupil's gone completely.
- How would you know, Peter?
You didn't even catch it the first time.
- Ooh! - Okay. Okay!
- Dr. Walker?
(all laughing)
So, uh...
Bobby's chart says you removed an enteric duplication mass.
- We did.
- Okay, but that wouldn't have caused his tell
or any of his other behaviours. - I know that.
- Okay, so why does he think it did?
- Poker's a confidence game, Jake.
Sometimes you just gotta tell people what they need to hear.
- So you just bluffed a professional poker player?
- If that doesn't cure him, he knows where to find me.
- I know you don't want what I'm offering,
but we're out of time
and I'm not ready to let you go.
- Listen to me.
Watching you take the world by storm,
it's the only thing I've ever been proud of.
You can't ask me
to risk my life's work.
(Lily laughing sadly)
- What if I had another way?
It's called a domino transplant.
Lily would donate a kidney, not a liver.
The donation itself is a much safer procedure,
and given your specific family history,
the long-term risks would be much lower for Lily.
- But she doesn't need my kidney.
- No, but Annabelle Sutton does.
And her brother Justin,
is just as eager as you are
to do whatever it takes to save her.
Including a living partial lung donation
to David Sheridan.
So, you donate to a stranger,
and then their loved one donates to another stranger,
and everyone pays it forward
until Diane gets the liver she needs.
It might not be as good a match, but it'll be good enough.
- Listen to me, Nana.
I am your life's work
and you made me strong
and powerful and fierce with agency.
And now it's time to let me be who you made me.
- Okay.
(chuckling softly)
(driver): Here we are.
Lady, you're home.
- Ugh. No, I'm not.
- This is the address you gave me.
- Yeah, I don't live here anymore.
Take me to Second and Nokomis, please.
- Okay.
(melancholic music)
- When I saw you on your phone in the driveway that day,
I knew something was wrong.
But I shouldn't have looked at your phone,
and I never should have said anything.
I thought I was helping.
I thought Mom
would realize and come back to you,
but then she left.
And it was my fault.
- None of this is your fault.
What happened to our marriage...
it was already over before you found this out.
- That's what Mom said, too. - Because it's true.
- When a relationship falls apart, people...
you reach for things to make it hurt less.
I reached for work, and...
your father reached for someone else.
- The way you looked at me after I told you.
You just stopped caring.
- I should've done better for you,
and for your father.
I know I can't tell you
because obviously I don't remember but...
leaving both of you...
...that must've broken me.
(soft music)
- It's a good thing you told me
what she was gonna say beforehand.
I never would've been able to handle it the right way for her
if I got blindsided with that.
- I don't think you should ever tell her it was Nora.
There's no reason to pile more onto her.
- We had a night
when you came back to me.
There was daylight.
The next day, that's when I broke it off with Nora.
On the phone, in the driveway.
That's what Katie saw.
- And then she came and told me
because she didn't understand what she saw.
- It must've been then because a few days later,
you were gone without a word.
- We... we can never tell her.
- We could've made it, Amy.
(soft music)
(door opening)
Hey, I'll take you home.
- I just heard from the transplant team.
The last organ came through.
- She's ready.
(Diane breathing deeply)
- It's gonna be fine, Nana.
And Mom would be proud of us.
I'll see you soon.
(sighs)
- Dr. Ridley left some forms for me?
- I haven't seen anything.
- I'll just take a peek in her office.
- Be my guest. I'm outta here.
(intriguing music)
(PA speaker): Our visiting hous will end in 10 minutes.
(elevator dings)
- Dr. Coleman.
Oh, I never replied.
Sorry, the conference was insufferable.
- Oh, no worries. I wanted to ask...
(dialogue inaudible)
Cardiothoracic...
- Well, Ortho's super-muscular if that's...
(no audible dialogue)
...unpack all this tonight, do we?
- Thank you, Dr. Ridley. - Goodnight, Dr. Coleman.
- Goodnight.
(tense music)
(sighs)
- I found a case of pre-filled syringes
for a sub Q immune modulator.
- She has an autoimmune disease
and she's hiding it.
(knock on door)
- You wanted to see me?
- I gather Michael didn't tell you
that Richard Miller was here today with his lawyer.
- No, he didn't. Sorry I missed it.
- Unfortunately, they used the chaos
from the Brian Clark situation to their advantage.
- How so?
- He turned down the Dixon settlement
and demanded his job back.
- He's got a lot of nerve.
- He's got more than that.
He's got leverage.
- You gave in?
- It's your behavior that forced our hand, Amy.
You created this.
So, I suggest you find a way to work with him.
Because he starts tomorrow.
