"Previously on Emily Owens M.D..." "When did you get back?" "It was a two-week suspension, you were gone a year." "Dr. Owens, this is my husband, Evan." "You're married?" "!" "We're not gonna talk about that other thing that happened?" "Right before I left?" "I'm married; it was a mistake." "So, you were down in the lab, huh?" "You like Hot Molly?" "TYRA:" "I so like Hot Molly." "You gonna hang out with Kelly?" "We actually broke up." "Why?" "Just wanted different things." "A.J.:" "Talk to me about Dr. Owens." " What about her?" " You clearly like her." "She has no idea." "WILL:" "I need you to not let Cassandra know that I crashed at your place last night." "Remember the other night when we were out at the bar?" "Cassandra thought I was jealous, so... can we keep that between the two of us?" "EMILY:" "He likes me." "When I interviewed to be a part of the Junior Scientist League of America, I was asked why I would make a good scientist." "I cited my love of biochemistry and my patience." "Because that's the thing about science:" "you have to be patient." "Things take time to unfold." "Chemical reactions need time to occur." "Of course, waiting the two months to see if I was accepted was absolute torture." "(car horn honks)" "But when the letter came, the wait was worth it." "I'd been accepted." "My patience paid off." "I never understood spending so much money on a fund-raiser." "How much are they trying to raise for Bandari's project?" "I think, like, 500K." "That's got to be like $10,000 in flowers, am I right?" "CASSANDRA:" "Oh." "$10,000 doesn't get you those flowers." "(giggles)" "Let's go, babe." "I need to hang my dress." "Okay, what's going on?" "You just had a Cassandra/Will encounter." "You don't smile after a Cassandra/Will encounter." "(laughs)" "It's 'cause I have the magic eye now." "It... the... books." "I used to read them as a kid, you know?" "You'd stare at that picture for a long time, and at first it would just seem so random, this crazy pattern, and then all of a sudden you'd see a teapot or something, and then" "once you saw that, every time you looked at it, it was just so obviously a teapot, it... it... (laughs) it's... it's a teapot." "There has to be a more direct way of telling me why you're happy." "It's just suddenly clear that Will has feelings for me." "I know it." "And Cassandra knows it." "She is so obviously threatened by me." "I don't know how I didn't see it before." "So you're gonna make a move." "No, definitely not." "When Cassandra's threatened, she lashes out." "She's gonna lose it on Will." "Then his eyes will be opened." "Wow." "I've never seen you so confident." "Now I know that he has feelings for me," "I just have to be patient." "Patient plays to my strengths." "I'll see you later, Joyce." "Thanks, Dr. Balian." "Thank you." "(clears throat):" "All right." "So, listen." "Yeah?" "I've actually been thinking about your Emily problem." "What problem?" "And I did a little digging, and there's no hospital policy against a resident dating one of his interns." "What?" "Who did you ask?" "Don't worry, I didn't say who it was about." "Well, you're my mother." "They'll..." "The point is it's totally allowed, you won't get in any trouble..." " I know that." " Then ask her." "Mom, okay, just please, back off." "But you like her." "It's not happening." "Well, it won't if you don't ask her." "Mom, stop!" "Just back off." "(groans) (beeps)" "Oh..." "Is Pam picking you up?" "Okay, I'll call you when I'm done with my shift." "EMILY:" "Teapot." "Teapot, teapot, teapot." "Dr. Kopelson, present." "28-year-old male suffered retinal detachment after ski injury, subsequently repaired by ophthalmology without complications." "And, dude, tell them about the numbness in the legs." "He's got numbness in his legs." "Which has nothing to do with my eye." "Let's hear about the numbness." "Honestly, not a big deal." "It comes and goes." "I train a lot, so..." "Look, it's been coming and going for a while, okay?" "We train together." "I've seen it." "Plus, he's way more tired than he used to be." "Oh, you beat me in one 10K; suddenly I'm tired?" "You're tired." "But that's not why I beat you." "I mean, I beat you 'cause I'm faster." "Aw, yeah." "What do we test for?" "Peripheral neuropathy, etiologies include lumbar radiculopathy, diabetes," " and mononeuropathy." " Good." "Kopelson and Owens, you two start there." "I'll draw blood." "So, how did this accident happen?" "Oh, no, it was no accident." "He deliberately jumped off a 15-foot cliff." "Wow, that's..." "Nothing, it's nothing." " Here we go." " Well, dude, I'm just saying." "I jumped off a 20-footer, I'm not in a hospital." "(laughter)" "CASSANDRA:" "What's with the good mood?" "I got a new teapot." "Whatever floats your boat." "I just thought you'd be freaking out more." "About what?" "The surprise tribute thing for Dr. Bandari?" "At first I thought it was odd that they wanted to include us, but I guess this is a teaching hospital..." "Cassandra, I have no idea what you're talking about." "Did I forget to e-mail you?" "Oh, it's no biggie." "All of us just have to say a little something about Bandari." "On camera." "I'm just saying, I haven't seen the inside of an O.R. since I got back." "You've only been back a week." "You know, whatever." "I'm just gonna ask Bandari." "Bad idea." "Seriously?" "Just be patient." "Micah?" "Hey." "Can I ask you a question?" " Sorry, um..." " It's all right." "How important is the video tribute component for this evening?" "It is a good opportunity to flatter Bandari." "You know, since she's gonna be choosing her new research assistant any day now." "Right." "Okay, I'll do it." "Just keep it simple." "(pager beeps)" "Mm, it's the E.R." "Okay, so... simple." "Simple." "Simple." "What?" "Simple. (chuckles)" "Back off, dude." "You're worse than my mother." "When did you first start experiencing chest pain?" "WOMAN:" "Right after this kid on the other team kicked the soccer ball straight at his chest on purpose." "And after he started, like, uh, gasping for breath." "No, it wasn't on purpose." "Mom's just..." "Don't you say crazy." "B... biased is what I was gonna say;" "I'm sure Dr. Owens can see the crazy herself." "Oh... (laughs)" "(groans)" "There, see?" "It still hurts." "Well, I'm sure it's just a bruised rib, right?" "Mom's overreacting." "Well, we won't know till we get the X-ray." "And might be a little while; we're really busy." "No problem." "He has English homework." "And did Mr. Curtis give out a problem set?" "No, not today." "Honesty policy." "All right, fine." "Yeah, I have it." "I am amazed that works." "I got lucky." "He's a good kid." "Ah, that's because I have a good mom." "Oh, speaking of, do you have any nice men for her?" " Say, like 45?" " Ethan." "I'm serious; you need a boyfriend so you can spend less time focusing on me." "(pager beeps) Go." "Go, go." "I'm sure you have other patients." "Now that my project is off the ground," "I am going to be selecting a research assistant." "You three scored the highest on the Inservice, so you're the finalists." "Dr. Kopelson, why do you deserve to be chosen?" "Well, obviously... (water rushes loudly) I... obviously, there's the fact that I scored the highest on the Inservice test, and I'm not sure if you know this, but in med school I was chosen to co-author a paper" "on COX2 inhibitor testing, so I have a little medical trial exper... medical trial experience." "And I can promise you that I will work harder than anyone, and I say that with great confidence." "Dr. Collins." "Well, look, we're all really smart here... relatively smart here?" "And, uh, we'll all work really hard for you, but what sets me apart, what makes me right for this project is my engineering background." "Not only could I assist with the clinical side, but I could also help with any mechanical improvements you'll be making with your left ventricle assist device." "Dr. Owens." "I don't want to talk about my accomplishments in med school, the fact that I was valedictorian and a research assistant to Dr. Andrew Sclarven, so I have experience in this very job, but..." "I will draw your attention to the work that I've done here, which proves that I'm smart, detail-oriented and an excellent diagnostician." "Which is what you want." "Well, didn't expect you to go on about yourselves for so long." "We'll continue this later." "CASSANDRA:" "Look, we all have to go for it, so may the best doctor win." "Okay, Ethan, hold your breath." "(X-ray machine humming)" "Good." "And again." "Good job." "Such a sweet kid." "Mom's doing something right." "See anything?" "Yeah, looks like a non-communicating pneumothorax." "Oh, wow." "What?" "Didn't expect to see that." "Ms. Gorgia, has your son ever been shot?" " Shot?" " What?" " What are you talking about?" " Of course not." "The X-ray reveals what appears to be a bullet lodged in Ethan's lung." "Are you sure it's a bullet?" "Well, we see them enough here, so..." "Look, if you were ever shot..." "Of course he wasn't." "Well, parents don't always know what their kids are up to." "I would know if he was shot." "He's always with me." "Can I look at your chest?" "Okay." "Nothing." "Nothing?" "How did it get in there?" "Maybe he picked the bullet up as a toddler on the playground and breathed it in." "No, a toddler's bronchi are really small." "It should have gotten caught in the left main-stem, caused all sorts of problems." "It's also in the wrong place to have been aspirated." "Unless it migrated." "It had to have migrated;" "there's no other explanation." "Unless the child was lying, and he was shot." "No, there's no scarring to indicate an entrance wound." "Well, however it got there, we have to decide whether to remove it." "Get a pulmonology consult." "I'll call for one." "Do your tribute." "Okay." "Gonna keep it simple." "CASSANDRA:" "I remember when I first read about Dr. Bandari in med school." "There was this article." "I actually cut it out and saved it." "It's about the top ten young cardiothioacic surgeons to watch." "I had all these expectations of what she would be like... completely unreasonable expectations." "But... she's even better." "Wow." "That was really, really good." "Okay, who's next?" "How'd the tribute go?" "Oh, still working out the kinks." "More pressure now that you're in the final three, huh?" "I'm so relieved not to be in it." "Actually, wait." "(clears throat)" "Just... don't be nervous." "You really deserve this position." "You're an amazing doctor." "Tyra, thank you." "That's so sweet." "Okay, what was that about?" "She got all clingy." "You know the saying, right?" "What does a lesbian bring on a second date?" "A U-Haul." "(elevator bell dings)" "(sighs)" "I want back in the O.R." "And the reason that I'm not, I just," " I want to make sure..." " What?" "That you're not keeping me out because, you know, that's kind of how things started between us." "It's been a year." "That's what I'm saying." "It's been a year." "And just like you said, it was a mistake, right?" "A year since you were in surgery." "(elevator bell dings)" "Hi." "So... uh, we have a couple of labs still pending, but so far, no red flags." "I'm telling you, it's nothing." "Gotcha." "Um, okay, so I was going over your chart, and there are just a couple of cryptic answers here." "For instance, under, um," ""family history of heart disease,"" "you wrote "maybe."" "(chuckles):" "Wow." "Didn't know anyone ever read those things." "Uh, my granddad actually died really young." "I think it could've been a heart thing." "Do you want to call your parents?" "We're running a lot of tests;" "it could be a piece of the puzzle." "Yeah, not really in touch with my family." "Ever since I came out." "Oh." "I'm sorry." "Hey." "Their loss, right?" "Yes." "Absolutely." "So, have you and Sean been together a while?" "Oh." "No, we're just friends." " Oh..." " Uh..." "He's straight." "Known each other for ten years." "We met at college, realized we were both adrenaline junkies." "Adrenaline junkies, huh?" "That's important, too?" "Yeah, you never know." "Also, I don't like fish." "That I will underline twice." "SEAN:" "Okay." "The food has arrived." "So, uh, did the blood tests come back?" "All fine so far." "But we still need to do a quick neuro exam, so I'd like to get you up on your feet." "Gladly." "I hate laying around." "Yeah, really, he gets all anxious." "(laughs)" "(grunts)" " Ow, ow." " Whoa, dude, yo." "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "Uh, just sore." "No, I don't like that leg pain." "I want to do an MRI and make sure there's nothing going on with your spinal cord." "Hey." "Hey, hey." "You're gonna be fine." "All right?" "NATALIA:" "Give it to me." " ETHAN:" "No." " Give... it." "Back up, back up." "Oh." "Hi, Dr. Owens." "My son posted on his Facebook page that he has a bullet in his lung." "It's kind of cool, right?" "I mean, I'm like a medical mystery." "Actually, the going theory is that you breathed it in as a kid." "And when the soccer ball hit your chest, it dislodged it, causing the tear in your lung and a small pneumothorax." "What's that?" "A pneumothorax forms when air leaks into the area between the chest wall and the lung, causing the lung to collapse." "But it sounds much worse than it is." "Ethan's is very small." "So, now what?" "You take it out?" "No, as long as it doesn't migrate, it's actually safer to keep it where it is." "What are you doing?" "Updating my status, Inspector Gadget." "Give me the phone." "No." "No, give me the.." "Ethan." "Hey, Natalia, can I talk to you for a minute?" "Sorry, but, um... were you ever shot?" "While you were pregnant?" "It doesn't make sense." "The womb is a... is an incredibly protected space." "All the amniotic fluid, tissue... could have slowed the bullet, and then resealed." "And then lung tissue is regenerative; it's spongy." "It healed around the bullet." "I thought it... it grazed me." "I mean, um, it... it stung, but... there was no blood, and after... he was still kicking." "I thought, how could I be shot if... if he's kicking?" "His father was in a gang." "And I was..." "lost." "It was a different life." "Please." "Ethan can't know." "He'd hate me for lying, and..." "I'd lose him." "(laughter)" "True story." "True story, honestly." "(laughing):" "Oh, my God." "Oh, hey." "Uh, you're up." "Uh... actually, I'm gonna come back." "WILL:" "No, come on." "Hey." "Let's get it over with." "Oh, I hate these things." "You're gonna be fine." "Come on." "Okay." "You ready?" "Okay. (chuckles)" "It is an honor to be taught by Dr. Bandari." "How's that?" "Uh... short?" "A little stiff." "Um, tell you what." "Why don't you just... just imagine, uh, that you're talking to..." "Dr. Bandari?" " I don't want to look scared." " Me, I was gonna say." "Just pretend like you're talking to me." "Oh." "(pagers beeping)" "You have all told me why you deserve to be my research assistant." "Now I'd like you to tell me why the other two don't." "Medicine is not personal." "You have to be able to step back and observe." "Be critical, of yourselves and of each other." "Dr. Collins, what are Dr. Kopelson's flaws?" "Um..." "Uh, she... she's too ambitious." "Which could be a problem." "Because you want a team player, not someone who's... looking out for themselves." "Tell me about Dr. Owens." "Um... she gets too personally involved with her patients." "And she lacks confidence at times, which could be a liability." "Dr. Owens?" "I think the ambition thing is big." "Like Dr. Collins said, you want a team player, and Dr. Kopelson is... too focused on getting ahead." "Dr. Collins is really passionate about saving lives, which is great." "But, uh, in his rush to be a hero, he can be rash." "He's impatient." "He doesn't always trust the process." "Which is not what you want." "Dr. Kopelson, tell me about Dr. Owens." "Overly involved and overly intimate with her patients." "She gets personally involved, which can cloud her objectivity." "Additionally, she's awkward in social situations, which can reflect poorly upon you." "And Dr. Collins scored third." "And he scored third because I drilled facts into his head." "Just like Dr. Owens did during med school." "I think you want someone a little more self-reliant on your team." "I'd agree." "Dr. Collins, you're out." "You did score third." "It was a long shot to begin with." "I'll decide by the end of the day." "Dear, what the hell was that?" "(whispering):" "You said I was blindly ambitious." "Which is a fair critique." "No, you should have said something that should be construed as a positive, like I work too hard." " That's ridiculous." " No, it's not ridiculous." "We agreed we were gonna fight for the position." "With Emily, you basically said that she cares too much." "Oh, my God, are you serious?" "Whatever, Will." "EMILY:" "Teapot." "Teapot." "You believe that, huh?" "She gets me kicked out, she's upset." "Whatever." "Do not let him see you smile." "What are you doing?" "Stretching my neck." "Hmm." " You're lying." " I'm not." "Let it go." "Hi, Dr. Owens." "Hey." "I heard you were having chest pain." " No." "I'm fine." " Ethan." "Why won't you tell me?" "There's nothing to tell." "It's gotten worse in the last little while." "Am I dying or something?" "No." "Honey, no." "No, there has to be something." "It... it's really not..." "I mean, why else would you lie?" "(wheezing softly)" "Mom, please." "I was shot, when I was pregnant with you." "I thought it grazed me, you were fine." "This isn't a good time." "(beeping rapidly)" "Wait, wait, w... who shot you?" "Please, sit back." "I was 16, and I was running with a bad crowd." "That's why I always tell you it's important to pick the right friends." "Bad like what?" "Like... ?" "No." "You were in a gang?" "Your father was, and I was hanging out with him." "Let's finish this later." "What?" "No, no, no, you told me that he was in the Army." "I just wanted to protect you." "I got my life together, I started over so you wouldn't be around that." "I think his lung is collapsing." "Oh, my God." " Is he even dead?" " Ethan." "Please, just tell me the truth." "No, no, no, Ethan, he's in jail." "I think the bullet's migrated." "We need to confirm, and then" "I'm gonna go to plan "B" and remove it surgically." "Looks like we're plucking a bullet tonight." "VATS and possible pleurodesis." "I..." "I can't do this with an intern." "Where's Dr. Barnes?" "In a splenectomy." "He just went in." "Uh, Mitchell, Levine, Greyson." "(sighs)" "Not much of a choice." "A.J.:" "Time: 16:07." "Left lateral thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopy for foreign body removal and evacuation of hemothorax" " and empyema." " Strike empyema." "We won't know that until we get in." "How long and where do you make the incision?" "1.5 centimeter incision of the seventh intercostal space." " Anterior access?" " 4.5 centimeter of the fifth intercostal space." " Cautery gun." " Cautery gun." "Incising." "Visual on the bullet." "I'm dissecting the concretion." "We're in the mediastinum now." " Hook." " Hook." "I don't like that we're so close." "We damage the nerve, he doesn't talk." "Maybe if we dissect posteriorly." "We're so scarred down there." "I've got you covered." "We'll move the camera to the anterior position and..." "Get a straighter clamp through the on-camera port incision." "Yes, I like that." "You're almost there." "And..." "I got it." "(chuckles)" "Very nice work, Dr. Bandari." "Very nice." "Okay, let's close him up." "He's experiencing heart palpitations." "Heart rate is 108." "Where's Dr. Owens?" "She's with a patient." "Let me take a listen." "(breathing deeply)" "I need an ultrasound." "Has anyone ever told you you have a heart murmur?" "No." "What's going on?" "I'd like to run a few more tests." "(sighs) I just don't understand how a pregnant woman gets shot and doesn't go to the hospital." "She was 16, scared." "She thought the baby was okay." "I mean, she changed around her life." "This mom is so devoted..." "EMILY:" "Stop, do not show that you're emotionally attached." "She thought it just grazed her." "Dr. Bandari, our patient... the daredevil with the detached retina... he has Marfan's." "GINA:" "Really?" "CASSANDRA:" "Ran the test, just got the results." "Difficult disease to diagnose... how'd you get it?" "He was having palpitations, I did an ultrasound." "Mitral valve prolapse." "Then I started reading through his chart, which read like a slam book, by the way." "He hates fish?" "(laughing):" "We were kidding around." "I wrote other stuff." "Yes, you did, which was at least useful." "History of anxiety and joint dislocations." "All of a sudden it just clicked for me, and I realized he had Marfan's." "Good save." "If left undiagnosed, he could have dropped dead." "Talk to him about the lifestyle changes he needs to make." "Why don't you talk to Jared?" "You guys are so close, and I don't want to hijack the whole case." "It's a condition that weakens the connective tissue in your body." "Basically holds your body together." "That's why your retina detached and why you've had so many dislocations and... there." "Also why you've been experiencing leg pain." "There you go." "I just..." "I don't understand." "I've been in the hospital before." "Why didn't anyone catch it?" "The signs are so subtle." "Marfan's is notoriously hard to diagnose." "We usually only find out postmortem." "It can kill you?" "But you're okay, 'cause we know, and... and now we'll just check you every six months." "Okay, yeah, okay." "It does mean, however, that, um, you can't do any more strenuous exercise... ever." "I know that that's a... it's a big lifestyle change." "Yeah." "But, I mean, I..." "I don't want to die so..." "I'll take up a new hobby." "You'll find other stuff to do with Sean." "It's that obvious?" "(chuckles)" "Yeah, let's just say, I can relate to having feelings for a friend." "I know he's straight." "I know he'll never love me the way I want him to, but we have the other stuff, the intimacy." " That's something, right?" " Yeah." "And nothing has to change." "I mean, you've been friends since college." "That's a long time." "Okay, I need to vent, but I also need you to not say anything after." "Okay." "I know I didn't try, but still I'm kind of bummed that I wasn't even considered for Bandari's project." "Okay, fine, say something." "Maybe you didn't try because you're afraid to put yourself out there and commit to things." "Something like "Feel better""" "Oh." "Feel better." ""Things," plural?" "What other things?" "Like, uh... one minute you like Molly and then one minute you don't." "Is Dr. Barnes in here?" "No." "Why?" "Joyce!" " You should go down to the fund-raiser." " Micah." "No, it's important to be seen by Bandari." "I don't know if you know this about me, but I get overly involved with my patients." "So I am staying here until she's out." "Oh, thank you." "Good idea." "Oh." "Bandari just got here." "(sighs) Look at all these flowers... what a waste of money." " It's the game, baby." " Yeah, I know, but I hate the game." "Hello, Irene." "How's Carl?" "He's back on the golf course, thanks to you." "Benjamin, oh, so glad you could make it." "Do you know my husband Evan Hammond?" "Hi, how you doing?" "We fought this afternoon." "I got angry with her over something so stupid." "Families fight." "I know, but she's sick." "Sick families are allowed to fight, too." "Y... you tell patients that all the time." "Her ANC last week was 234." "Her immune system is basically shot." "Her counts have recovered, she's not bacteremic, and she's on solids." "They should be cutting by now." "BALIAN: 19:14... midline incision." "Patient also has an existing midline incision from prior laparotomy for excision of pancreatic mass." "I am excited by this research project for one reason and one reason alone." "I believe it will save lives." "For over a decade, the left ventricular assist device has meant the difference between life and death for patients whose hearts were too weak to beat on their own." "But it is not without its flaws." "My device... which I am calling the V-cuff, has clear advantages." "(sighs)" "She's open now." "She's open." "Let's run it back to the transition point." "They need to work fast." "Longer she's under, the greater risk her heart could fail." "GINA:" "Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the United States." "One person dies every two minutes, which is just a statistic, unless it's a family member...  your husband, your mother." "When it's personal, everything changes." "So, tonight, I ask you to remember that it's always personal." "What we do is always personal, because we're saving lives." "So take out your checkbooks, because we are going to need a lot of money to do it." "(chuckles)" "(applause)" "Thanks." "Thanks." "You... were brilliant." "Brilliant." "IRENE:" "Now, I too, want to get to those checkbooks, but first, a little surprise." "(clears throat) Breathe." "I hate surprises." "(applause)" "All right." "So here we go." "Need a drink?" "Very quickly, very badly." "She saved Harold's life." "I could have lost him." "She was counting the insurance money." "(laughter) Ooh, I wasn't counting it." "Well, just... (Harold laughs)" "(both laugh)" "JULIA:" "Okay, at first I was really scared of her." "You look beautiful." "My husband is here." "Mm." "Oh, you weren't thinking about him in surgery." "And everyone is in awe of her." "And sort of scared, too." "(laughter)" "But in a good way, because she's this amazing heart surgeon, and she saved my life." "(sighs)" "Your mother did great." "Oh, thank you, Robert." "My pleasure." "She'll be in the ICU shortly." "Enjoy your night." "(sighs)" "Okay, go." "Go to the party." "Make an appearance." "Bandari should see you there." "Okay." "I'll be back." "Okay." "(door closes)" "SEAN Hey." "Dr. Owens." " Mm?" " You know, clearly, you're headed out, so..." "Something tells me you're not on shift." "This?" "No." "We're just, um... well, we're trying out new uniforms." "I hear you're feeling a little down." "It's just a lot to process." "And I keep thinking about something you said." "That, uh, nothing would change." "I'd stop exercising, but with us, things would never change." "Well, I mean, we'll still hang out, if that's what you're nervous about, man." "But it's the reason." "(sighs)" "(sighs)" "The reason I'm nervous is..." "I know." "It's 'cause... you have... other kinds of feelings for me." "Yeah, man, I know." "You know what?" "I'm okay with that." "All right?" "It doesn't affect me." "It doesn't have to affect our friendship." "So she's right." "Nothing will change." "But that's the problem." "I'm in love with you." "(laughs) Uh... and you're not in love with me." "And that's not gonna change." "And I want to be someone's choice." "CASSANDRA:" "It's about the top ten young cardiothoracic surgeons to watch, and Dr. Bandari's the only woman." "She's my inspiration." "To learn from her is just... it's funny." "I, um..." "I had all these expectations of what she would be like... completely unreasonable expectations." "But she's even better." "So from all the people you've helped..." "And for all the people you've mentored, thank you, Dr. Bandari." "(laughter)" "(applause)" "Oh." "That was..." "Shh." "That was so cute, what you just did." "Oh, good." "You're here." "So, I've made my decision." "I'm sorry." "I've chosen Dr. Owens" " to be my research assistant." " Really?" "Why?" "I'm sorry, but this is just..." "Dr. Owens gets patients talking." "And when they're talking, they reveal things they didn't think to mention." "That's how you figured out the Marfan's, right?" "Well, sort of, but using that information." "I'm the one who pieced together..." "I'm good at piecing together." "I need the information." " Congratulations." " Thank you." "I look forward to working with you." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "(sighs) Whatever." "She basically just said she needs someone to baby-sit patients." "I dodged a bullet." " Mm-hmm." " Wow!" "Ungracious much?" "Uh, look, she's really upset." "She... she really wanted the job." "TYRA:" "Let's toast." "Here." "I'm... real quick, I'm gonna go make sure she's okay." "Really?" " She was really rude." " Yeah." "Yeah, but, well, you know Cassandra." "She, uh... you know, she's hurt." "When she gets hurt, she lashes out." "So, I'm just gonna go talk to her real quick." " I'll be right back." "In a second." "I'll be right back." " Okay." "Okay. (whispers):" "Congratulations." "I'm done." "Hmm?" "With Will." "I'm done." "I don't understand." "What happened to patience?" "Screw patience." "Screw waiting." "I want to be chosen." "Done done?" "Done done." "Why am I waiting around for someone to realize that I'm great?" "I want to be with someone who knows that I'm great." "Don't say anything snarky." "I wasn't going to." "Oh." "Thank you." "And, um..." "I'm sorry if I was harsh earlier." "Nah." "I mean, you're right." "I guess, going after things means you might not actually get them." "So, that sucks." "But I think the upside is worth it." "And that's coming from someone who has a lot of experience going after many, many things that she didn't get." "(laughs)" "Molly." "Hey." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry I blew you off." "I do this." "I push things away when I feel myself wanting them, 'cause that way I can't get hurt." "And it's lame, and I'm sick of it." "And I like you." "I really like you." "So... can we go out again?" "No." "I'm not interested in being your practice relationship." "(thunder rumbling softly)" "Natalia?" "What are you doing out here?" "Dr. Owens." "Hi." "He doesn't want to see me." "Hey." "Uh..." " don't mind the dress." " Oh..." "Your voice will come back." "Don't worry." "This might not be my place, but I see a lot of mothers and sons come into this hospital, and what you guys have... she made some mistakes, but she was young, and, you know, what she did afterwards... leaving town and starting over... she did that 'cause she loves you." "She chose you." "And that might be a lot for a 15-year-old to understand, but... that's a huge thing." "To be chosen." "Does that mean you'll see her?" "(quietly):" "Yeah." "Okay." "(laughs)" "To your mother." "Oh." "Yeah." "Mm." "(giggles) Oh." "To you being Gina's new research assistant." "Wow." "Oh." " One more." " Mm." "To me... being done." "Done with... ?" "Will." "I am done with Will." "I don't know what happened." "Like a switch just flipped." "And I'm free." "What changed?" "I was just... sick of waiting." "I want to be someone's first choice." "EMILY:" "Patience doesn't mean waiting around forever." "It means waiting around until a resolution is reached." "Until a conclusion can be drawn." "Well, now that you're done done," "I have a question." "I just got rejected." "Badly." "Here." "Drink." "Thank you." "EMILY:" "What happened?" "She said she doesn't want to be my practice relationship." "What?" "!"
