What's got you so intently focused?
Come and look for yourself.
Wow.
Well, I guess Mother Nature has a sense of justice.
Surgeon says she's getting weaker.
We have to find a donor today, Ted.
I know.
Surgeon says she...
she's not gonna make it in the morning.
No, I'm not gonna go there.
We have to hold out hope that Kat...
will be a match.
Why does she take so long to do the right thing?
All this time, we've been sitting here
waiting on Princess Kat to make up her mind
while Eva's been using up her strength reserve.
If Kat costs my baby her life--
Okay, that's enough, Dana.
I'm not gonna allow you to talk about
my daughter that way.
She deserves the time she needs to think through
such a complicated decision.
Sure.
So, while she takes her sweet time,
that means that she's quickly becoming Eva's only hope.
Hey. Any news?
Only that Kat has agreed to being tested.
-Good. -Yeah.
I know how scary it is for a single medical test
to upend your life, but it's better to know the truth.
Now she can respond accordingly.
Yeah, for sure.
And if Kat is a match
and is able to save Eva's life,
maybe we'll all be able to say that we've survived this tornado
without any lasting damage.
What, no coffee today?
Sorry?
I mean, well, you've been
hell-bent on keeping me hyped up on caffeine lately,
-and today you're empty-handed. -Oh, I figured,
after the chaos and stress of last night,
your blood pressure could use a little break
from all the stimulants.
That's a good point.
I, on the other hand,
could use a pick-me-up. You know, babe,
I'm just so annoyed that we can't go home.
Yeah, well, I mean, the crews are still working
to clear the damage from the storm, honey.
Well, you'd think
with a community as exclusive as Fairmont Crest,
they'd work more efficiently.
You loved the luxury amenities
the last time we stayed there,
so why the change of heart now?
♪ ♪
The good thing is most of the property damage
and injuries are localized at Fairmont Crest,
but there are a few scattered road closures
-in the district, though. -All right.
Thanks for the update, but when I asked you
what was going on, I meant on a personal level.
How's your brother?
Izaiah? He's, um,
he's trying his best.
He spent the night at the hospital.
He's terrified that Eva won't make it.
Is he jumping the gun,
or is there a real possibility of her dying?
If Eva doesn't get a donated liver in time,
the doctor's saying she won't survive.
I was actually about to go check on him in person.
My shift ends soon.
You want to join me? Izaiah could use
as much support as he can get right now.
Yeah.
I think it's best that I make sure your mother knows.
And... I still have a lot to do around here.
Hey.
Chelsea. Hey.
Looks like you needed this.
Thank you.
Guess I nodded off for a couple minutes.
Hey, why don't you head home?
You can take a nice, hot shower, get a little quiet time in.
And I'll text you if anything at all happens here.
Thank you, but no thank you.
I'm not leaving her.
Feels weird, standing around drinking coffee
while Kat gets tested.
Your sister made it very clear that she does not want us
hovering while she gets her blood drawn.
She wants space, we have to give it to her.
I'm just happy she finally made a decision.
I know Kat has anxiety when it comes to medical testing,
but morally, there's only one option at play.
Even if she's a match,
she doesn't have to go through with it, Martin.
But we can't let that happen.
Look, Mom, I know my sister,
and she will never forgive herself
if she doesn't donate and Eva dies because of it.
It'll eat her alive.
I think that you're
assigning your own feelings
to the situation instead of your sister's.
This is a very big surgery
with a substantial recovery time,
and she has every right not to go through with it.
And we have to respect her decision, whatever it is.
-But, Mom, what if she-- -Have y'all heard from Kat?
What do you mean?
I thought she was in the lab getting tested.
That's where I just came from. She wasn't there.
Kat's gone.
The difference is when we moved into the hotel before,
I had time to pack all of my essentials.
I mean, we're basically stranded with barely more
than the clothes on our back.
Well, I didn't hear any complaints when you happily
wiped out the hotel's boutique.
Babe, I'm just saying it doesn't feel right
to not have my things that I use in my everyday life.
Well, Hayley, if you seriously
can't stand another night without your fancy face cream,
we can simply buy more.
Don't make it seem so superficial.
Don't you miss having your normal life, too?
Can you just pull a few strings
and get the cops to let us back in?
No, I can't do that, honey.
All right?
And I'm not about to jeopardize our safety
when we both were lucky enough to walk away
from that tornado unharmed, okay?
We'll go back when we get the official all clear.
Now, I got to get out of here.
I need to get to the hospital
and meet Madison about her case, okay?
Why don't you, um,
why don't you take advantage of the spa, hmm?
Maybe a nice massage will help de-stress you, okay?
I'll see you later. Love you.
You too.
You can't just keep sending me to voicemail.
I need to meet now.
Did Kat complete the testing, at least?
She did. The lab put a rush on her results
so she could know something soon.
I just wish she would have stuck around.
Kat is an adult.
She can come and go as she pleases.
Like I was telling Martin,
we have to honor her needing space.
I hear you.
But it's not a good sign that she just left.
She probably doesn't even want to know the results.
Well, I guess we just have to trust
that she'll return when she's ready.
Unfortunately, time is not on our side.
Eva's condition is getting worse.
Ted, the odds of Kat being a match are no better
than yours or Leslie's. What's the alternative?
I-I just need to call Kat.
Maybe if she hears my voice, then that--
No. That is the last thing that you should do.
Our daughter is clearly telling us all
that she needs space from us.
Don't you hear that?
I know I shouldn't have left the hospital
without saying anything, but I just couldn't
deal with them badgering me.
"How was the test? When do you get the results?
Are you gonna save Eva's life if you're a match?"
Knowing Leslie, she probably already has
a scalpel prepped and ready to go.
I don't think you should get yourself all worked up.
There's a chance you might not be a match at all.
My gosh, and that just opens up a whole other can of worms.
I can already see my dad's face if I have to tell him
I can't be a donor.
You don't seriously think anyone will blame you, right?
Whether you're a match or not
is completely out of your control.
Knowing Leslie, she'll say
that I somehow willed my blood
to not have the necessary markers,
purely out of spite.
But I appreciate you doing everything you can
to make it easier.
We're a team.
I've helped you break out of the hospital.
I've gotten your vanilla latte.
What else do you need?
Actually, there is one more thing.
IZAIAH: I can't believe
-you're still here, man. -Yeah.
It's the least I can do for Uncle Ted.
Family can be messy, but one thing's for sure.
When the chips are down, we all come together.
Minus one or two, it seems.
I wonder if my parents know what's going on.
I don't think they do, Mom.
They went straight home from the club last night,
and with all the stress of the day, they probably slept in.
I'm gonna go, um, give 'em this news in person.
It's not the kind of thing I want to relay over the phone.
Yeah, cool. And I'll just stay here.
I'll call you if I hear anything major.
-All right. Thanks, sweetie. -Um, hug the grans for me, Mom.
Oh.
We have to stop meeting like this.
Do me a favor.
Wipe that silly smile off your face.
And keep your mouth shut.
Poor Leslie. Her first house, gone.
Hm.
She'll rebuild.
And when Shouse the Sequel is coming into being...
With all the accompanying noise
and gnomes and naked statues,
we'll be wishing that monstrosity
and its owner were far away.
But for now...
We'll reach out with an offer to help
for all the neighbors who were hit hard by this,
including Leslie.
I think rebuilding that house is the furthest thing
from Leslie's mind at the moment.
Eva is in the hospital.
What happened?
She was injured in the tornado.
She's in desperate need of a liver transplant.
What?
I assume she's been put on the donor list.
Yeah. They had to act fast on that.
If Eva doesn't get a liver today, she might not make it.
And Ted and Leslie-- they don't qualify as matches?
Martin was ruled out, too. And Andre.
Well, then that just leaves Kat.
-She's never been fond of Eva. -With good reason.
But after much deliberation,
she decided to get herself tested.
Well, that's very brave,
given what she could be facing if she's a match.
Have you heard from Kat?
I thought she was in the lab doing her testing.
Uh, she was.
She went out to get some fresh air,
um, while they work on the results.
Uh, I hope she hasn't drifted off too far.
I mean, if she's a match,
they got to start the surgery now.
If she gets stuck in traffic or something,
she can't get back into--
Ma?
Your brother told me about what was going on.
I'm so sorry to hear about Eva.
You're not exactly her biggest fan.
We didn't have the best first start,
but I know how much she means to you.
And right now, that's... that's all that really matters.
I brought you a change of clothes and some toiletries.
I assume you haven't left since all this happened.
Yeah. Thanks, Ma.
This... this means a lot.
My son here doesn't open up easily to people,
but when he does,
there isn't a single thing he wouldn't do for them.
I don't know about all that.
Feels like I'm doing a whole lot of nothing right now.
It kills me that I'm not even the right blood type
to be considered a donor.
Oh, I got you, son. Yes, I got you.
LESLIE: It feels like the life
is just being drained right out of her.
Please tell me... Please tell me Kat is...
she's a match, or she got the results back or what?
I'm not sure what Kat is at the moment.
-She stepped out. -Wait,
wait, what? What do you mean, she stepped out?
She-she left the hospital?
It's not like we can hold her prisoner.
We have to trust that...
she'll show back up if it turns out she's a match.
Okay, and if she doesn't?
I mean, do I have to remind you that that girl,
when we asked her the first time, her impulse was to run?
I mean, I wouldn't put it past her
if-if she found out she was a match,
and then she skipped town anyway.
It would just be the perfect revenge
on evil Leslie and the sister that she hates.
Okay, we need to calm down.
Kat is not vindictive like that.
Good news.
There's a liver match for Eva in the donor registry.
Yes. Are you for real?
Yep. Working on the next steps now,
-Okay. -but I just wanted to give you a heads-up.
-I'll keep you updated. -Thank you. -Thank you.
Oh. Praise God. Thank You.
The killer clearly pushed her.
At law school, we do these mock criminal cases.
Figuring out who did it was always the easy part.
The bigger task is proving why.
You really do know me.
True-crime talks? Perfect distraction.
A distraction we aren't finished with yet.
What you got?
Okay, there are two obvious answers here.
There's the cheating husband
who stood to lose half his net worth
if he asked for divorce.
There's the former side boo,
who was pissed because he was broken up with.
-And the son. -The son?
Well, the son is the sole beneficiary
of his mother's life insurance.
Your attention to detail is impressive.
I know my stuff,
which is why I'm calling it's someone else.
The best friend did it.
How'd you get that?
Simple. From what you told me,
she was tired of being taken for granted.
And of being expected
to give up everything on a moment's notice
for a victim who didn't deserve it.
Wow. My very own Annalise Keating.
(phone buzzing)
Oh, it's the hospital.
Hello. This is Kat.
LAB TECH: Ms. Richardson, your test results are in.
If you're ready, I'll patch you through to the doctor.
Good.
I'm ready to hear them.
From what I gathered from Chelsea and Andre,
time is running out fast for Eva.
The donor registry?
It's still a possibility, and one they'll jump on.
But this is desperate,
and Kat is the only relative Eva has left.
So Kat, more or less, has been pressured into taking the test.
There was no more or less about it.
Let's just call it what it was.
I'm so sorry you're in this position, sweetie.
It's just unfair.
Thank you for saying that.
Um, if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to Gran alone.
We'll give you some privacy.
Uh, the test results came back,
and despite us only being half sisters...
You're a match.
I am.
Well, that's good news for Eva,
and I'm sure Leslie will be happy.
But what about me?
This would be so much easier
if things had gone the other way.
-I know. -And now everybody's gonna
be expecting me to do the right thing
-and have the surgery. -Okay, baby,
what do you want to do?
That's just it.
I don't know.
I'm glad you're here.
Bro, Pop sends his love.
He feels horrible about what you're dealing with.
-I bet. -DARLENE: He does.
The only reason why he's not here with you right now
is because he's busy coordinating disaster response.
Right. Work first.
Good news.
There's a match for Eva on the donor registry.
She's gonna live, Mom.
Yes, and I look forward
to developing a relationship with her in the future.
I should, uh, call Kat and give her the good news.
That's a good idea. She'll be thrilled
to know that she's off the hook.
Voicemail. It seems Kat is still ignoring the family.
Congrats, bro. This is amazing news.
Thank you. Thank you.
I'm almost at a loss for words.
The woman I love-- she...
she's gonna have a future after all.
I'm gonna let Dani know the good news.
Andre. Hey.
Hey, I'm glad I ran into you.
There's, um... there's something I've been meaning to tell you.
It's about Dani.
I've called you five times.
Yes, it's an emergency.
A tree fell in front of our house.
Oh. Well, you should care,
because we are staying at the Bowman,
and the Bowman doesn't have a secret safe for my...
special juice.
Fine. Fine!
What was that about?
What do you mean?
You seemed frustrated.
Yelling at somebody about how hard things have been for you?
You never let anyone get under your skin like that.
Like you care.
I may not like you, Hayley,
but you are technically a Hamilton,
and that counts for something.
So what's going on?
Look, I didn't want to get into it,
especially not with you,
but... it's Derek.
Derek?
Oh, it might be hard to remember.
We used to hang out, all five of us.
-Oh. -You've had Ashley to lean on,
but I don't have anyone to talk to,
and it's starting to get to me.
He was my friend, too.
Just hold on a little while longer, baby, okay?
I need you to keep fighting for Mama.
(knocking)
If you can't see, my daughter and I only need
to be around positive spirits right now.
No haters allowed.
I'm not here to cause trouble.
I'm here as a mother to another mother.
Okay, then.
Speak your mind.
You and I may always have our differences,
but one thing I do know is that you love your daughter
every bit as much as I love my sons.
Raising three boys,
you can imagine the serious injuries that they've had.
And I know how terrified you must be.
And I just wanted to tell you how glad I am
to hear that they found a donor for Eva.
Thank you, Darlene.
I appreciate your kind words.
-Dana? -LESLIE: Yes.
There's a problem.
What? What-what... what problem?
Unfortunately, the liver
that was a match for Eva has been given to another patient.
What?! What do you m--
Wha--
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, that can't be possible.
You said. You told me it was hers.
It's her liver!
So how do you just give it away?
No. This is...
Please. Doctor, please, I'm just asking you,
can you please just, um,
let me talk to the patient's family or something?
Maybe I can... I can ask them or explain to them
that my baby needs that liver,
and she needs it today, right now, okay?
And-and listen, I'll-I'll pay.
I'll give them anything.
I'll give 'em money if they'll just wait, just one more day.
Come on, Ted. Just one more day.
-It's my baby. -TED: This is something...
No. You got to do something.
But there's got to be a way.
-Who do I talk to? -TED: This is something
money can't fix.
It can't.
You said...
that my baby needs a transplant
or she would be dead tomorrow.
Dead!
So you get her a transplant, Doctor, and you get it now.
I understand you're upset, ma'am.
You're damn straight I am!
But...
but there's nothing else I can do.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You're... you're s--
You are so sorry.
Oh, God, I cannot.
It's my baby.
She's slipping away, Ted.
She's slipping away. God help me.
That man dangled a lifeline in our face,
and then said, "Oops, sorry.
It's not happening."
I mean, who does that,
especially to desperate people like us?
There's still a chance that Kat could be a match.
Oh, God, please stop pretending like Kat does not despise Eva.
You know, this donor falling through
just reminds me of...
...what happens to people like me and Eva.
You know? It's like things just...
just never come easy for us.
We've had to fight
and claw our way through everything.
Don't give up, Dana.
This just can't be it.
There has to be a miracle for my baby.
There has to be, Ted.
Oh, we were this close. This close.
-Damn. -Nah, don't even do that, bro.
-You got to keep the faith. -Oh, no one's more deserving
of this than Eva, okay?
She's kind and compassionate and way too young for this.
I mean, it's not like
she wrecked her liver with alcohol abuse.
This was done to her.
These decisions aren't personal.
It's not like they are looking at Eva
and making some sort of judgment based on her past.
It's based on need. That's it.
Well, Ma, what if...
what if you checked the dispatch board at work?
I mean, you could see if-if there's been any fatalities
with local organ noters.
Her liver might be closer than we realize.
Doesn't work that way, son.
-I thought you were busy at the station. -I was.
But I got someone to cover
because my son needed both of his parents.
Well, unless you can magically turn yourself into someone
with the perfect liver for Eva,
you can't help me out.
He's trying, Izaiah. How about you meet him halfway?
Listen, I know this is difficult,
but you a Hawthorne.
And we don't give up, no matter how grim things may seem.
Son, watching you fight so hard
for somebody you care so deeply about...
It makes me so damn proud of you.
I hope you know that.
I'm sorry about that. Sorry we got interrupted.
Mm-hmm. I'm curious.
What could you possibly tell me about my wife?
Uh, well, it's more about the tornado, really.
It was quite the game-changer.
-Mm-hmm. -We have... -CHELSEA: I have bad news.
The organ donor didn't work out.
Wait. what?
So Kat really is Eva's only hope?
Wait, ho-- Wait. What are you two talking about?
Eva got injured during yesterday's storm
and she needs a liver transplant.
Like, now.
Now, I certainly understand why you would be uncertain.
Medical procedures can be daunting.
There were plenty of moments during chemo
that my pain was louder than my purpose,
but I didn't give up.
-You know why? -Family?
Family.
Being here with and for you all
will forever be worth it.
But I... I don't know if I'm as strong as you, Gran.
The doctor already said
surgery and recovery can be really hard on the donor.
Unlike you, with chemo,
I have a choice.
I'm perfectly healthy. I-I don't have to do this.
No. No, you don't.
But I want you to think about something.
What if you say no and Eva dies?
You'll carry the burden that you could have saved her
for the rest of your life.
How do you think you'd deal with that?
I don't know.
I do.
Because I carry the guilt
of Barbara's death.
I turned my back on someone who needed me.
And there is not a day that goes by
that I don't think of her.
I don't want that for you.
But, I mean, Eva and Leslie--
they have taken so much from us already. I...
And now I have to be an organ bank
for someone I don't respect?
How is that fair?
-It isn't. -But why? Why?
Why do I have to be the match?
Why couldn't it have been Dad or her own mother?
Why? Why me, Gran?
Sweetheart,
you came into this world
a miraculous gift.
It's a blessing,
but it also can be a burden.
But something tells me
you didn't come here for guidance.
Yeah, you're right.
I just needed to talk it out.
I know my boundaries
and how far I'm willing to bend.
Derek was that one person
who didn't seem to hold a grudge
after... everything.
He gave me hope that I might be forgiven,
maybe even accepted.
It might sound foolish, but it's the truth.
So what you overheard--
me losing it--
that was grief.
Tell me your favorite memory about him.
If I get started, I won't be able to finish.
Okay.
But I'd love to talk another time
and some place that's not so public.
Thank you, Naomi.
I should, uh... I should get going.
But, um, call me if you want to talk.
Okay.
Will do. Oh, God.
Yeah, I'm gonna go try to reach her,
and I hope she hasn't wondered far.
-ANDRE: Yeah. -Yeah.
Uh, uh, wait. You were saying about Dani?
Oh, yeah.
Uh, well, When I was trapped
in that stairwell during the tornado, I...
well, I thought about her.
I'm sure you did.
Where did these thoughts take you?
Well, Andre, you know, situations like this--
-they make you reflect, you know? -Yeah.
And I couldn't help but think about how deeply I hurt her,
you know, in the past.
Yeah. And I don't ever want her
to have to go through anything else like that again.
Right.
She won't. Because, unlike you,
I'm not a lying, manipulative serial cheater.
My wife is good with me, all right?
Stop worrying about her. She's safe.
Good. Good, good, good. I mean,
she's already had one marriage wrecked by infidelity.
Be a shame for it to happen again.
CHELSEA: Oh, my, God. I was trying to call you.
MARTIN: Where did you go, sis?
IZAIAH: Did you get the results? Are you a match or...
Everybody, back up. Give her some space.
You don't have to say anything, Kat.
Good.
Because the only person I want to talk to right now is Dad.
You didn't run away.
Oh, thank you, Lord.
Did you get your results?
I did.
And are you at match?
Dana, don't overwhelm her.
It's okay, Dad.
Yes, I'm a match.
Oh, Kitty Kat.
Oh, and I say that with so much love.
-Oh, God. And now Eva can... -Um...
Have you made a decision about what you're gonna do, honey?
I will do it.
I will donate a portion of my liver
to save Eva's life.
Thank you, Kat.
Thank you so much.
You have no idea what this means to me.
You have no idea.
-Thank you. -TED: Okay, we need
to tell Dr. Arnold. We don't have time to waste.
LESLIE: Okay. We do.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
-Did we miss Kat? -ANITA: Yes. She slipped
out the back once she decided what she needed to do.
So, she's a match?
Indeed. And she's going to go through with the surgery.
That's great news for Eva, but I-I hope
that Kat is doing this because she genuinely wants to,
and not because she's afraid of Ted's reaction.
The truth is there were no other options.
Baby, I raised you to be tough.
And to be a fighter.
So now I need you to pull on every bit of that strength
that you can and make it through this surgery, okay?
You hear me?
I know you will.
'Cause you got so much
to live for, so much potential
and promise.
Including this young man right here.
Izaiah.
Thank you for loving my baby the way you do.
Eva, it's me.
I can't wait until you open those big beautiful eyes again.
Yeah.
Like your mama said, I haven't been anywhere,
and I'm not going anywhere,
until you get to the other side of this.
I love you, Eva.
Please be gentle with my baby, okay?
I think I'm gonna go with her.
MARTIN: I'm proud of you.
What you're doing is the epitome of selflessness.
Chelsea, did you get that on camera?
Because "selfless" has never been a word
he's used to describe me.
You are gonna rock this surgery, bestie-coz,
just like everything else you put your mind to.
-I love you. -Love you.
Sis.
I'll see you after, mamita.
I'll have a playlist of true crime podcasts loaded up
to keep you entertained when you recover.
I can't wait.
Is there anything I can get for you, sweetheart?
Um, just want a moment with Dad, alone.
Of course.
-I love you. -Love you, too.
Hey.
What is it, honey?
Uh, I want you to know that this is for you.
Okay? It's-it's not for Leslie.
It's not even for Eva.
I'm doing this because I love you, Dad.
Okay?
Okay.
It's got to be getting to you.
Both your girls in surgery at the same time.
Yeah, even tougher when you know the risks
for the donor and the recipient.
Baby, you've had trouble sleeping since the tornado.
All that time in the elevator has rattled you.
-Andre. -Hey.
How long have you been standing there?
Ah, long enough to hear something
about someone cheating.
You think that storm was about you?
Why are you having such a hard time shaking it?
I mean, it's like you're haunted or something.
What's going on?
NAOMI: This doctors had to rush in
-for Kat. -Oh my God. -Kat.
