"Just had a CT a couple weeks ago." "Totally normal." "All her blood tests, including markers for celiac and crohn's disease, are normal." " Severe gerd?" " Maybe." "W-what does her endoscopy show?" "Mm, never had one." "Looks like it was ordered a couple times, but insurance wouldn't cover it." " [ Sighs ]" " The GI consults all say her symptoms are "likely psychosomatic.""

" And so am I." "You're the one who told me you have to find a way to emotionally connect with the patient." "You're being like all those other doctors." "You're not listening to her."

"I have no secrets." "Um [Chuckles] Cristina, this is Dr. Clemmens." "He sewed up Matt's wounds." "[ Sighs ] Cristina is Matt's wife." " Hi." " Hi."

"It's fine." "All right." "Um..." "Nice to meet you." "Dr. Alexander, if you need me," "I'll be charting at the nurses' station." "[ Sighs ] I'm sorry, but did Matt tell you that he was seeing me?" "Of course." "Yeah." "He... he told me when he met you." "He even showed me your Facebook profile." "You seemed lovely, so I gave him my blessing."

"I mean, he should've been honest with you, Jordan." "We put all our cards on the table." "Did you know that he was using Molly?" "I suspected something." "He's been seeing a much younger woman who's a little too wild for my taste." "They went to an EDM concert last night." "I think it's time for him to break things off with her."

"You're really enjoying this, aren't you?" "Yeah." "I really am." "Okay, well, speaking of uncomfortable dating situations, um..." "Did you tell Annie about our kiss?" "See, look." "Now your smile is gone." "I don't see the point of drudging something up that's just gonna hurt her feelings." "It was a long, emotional night." "We said a lot of stuff to each other, and it just..." "Happened in the moment." "Yeah, you know, I know." "And, look, whether or not you decide to tell Annie, that's obviously your business." "But just take a page from my friends in trauma two..." "It is never a good idea to keep secrets." "Dr. Clemmens, the transplant team said they'd be ready for you in 15 minutes."

"Hate is a strong word, but no, I am definitely not your biggest fan." "I couldn't tell anyone what was going on, okay?" "I really need this job, and this was gonna happen anyway." "The place has been in the red for years." " That's why it's being sold." " That may be, but you can't blame everyone here for being angry with you."

"So [Sighs] you really think that you can be in love with two people at the same time?" "Absolutely." "Matt and George are two completely different people, and I love them both." "We all get the best of both worlds, and it's never boring." " [ Chuckles ]" " Yeah." "That's why we embrace our lifestyle." "One perfect person doesn't exist." "Well, it's been nice meeting you, Cristina." "It's been educational..." "To say the least." "[ Both chuckle ]" "Hey." " Hey." " I've been googling polyamory." "It's actually super complicated." "They have a lot of rules, and they tell each other everything... two things I hate." "They're happy and they can make it work, who am I to judge?" "Not me." "I always judge." "Hmm." "Hey, can I ask you a question?" " Yeah." " There are rumors flying around that they may shut down the E.R." "Is that really possible?" "It is, but nothing is for sure." "Except we all lose our jobs, and I'm screwed trying to find another residency." "I know." "Shannon, I hear you, okay?" "But let's take things one step at a time." "There'll be plenty of time to panic later." "Jordan." "We need to talk." "I got to brush my teeth." "Scott told me." "Annie, I am sorry." "Okay?" "We never meant to hurt you." "It was just an emotional night with the surgery and Malik." "That is all." "Do you want to get back together with him?" "My first answer is no." "But if I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you," "I don't know how I feel about anyone or anything." "It's been a hell of a year, and I..." "[ Sighs ]" "I'm emotionally confused." "Okay." "I totally get that." "Thank you for being honest with me." "[ Chuckling ] Oh, you're getting a lot of chick action." "Maybe you should try it." "[ Chuckles ] Shut up." "Could be just what you need." "Shut up!" " What O.R. is Brianna in?" " One." "The surgery's already started." "She's really weak." "It's touch and go." "[ Buzzer ]" "Give me an update." " 50/50." " She's a fighter, drew." "If she doesn't make it through the surgery," "I don't know what I'm gonna do." "I should have been there." "There is nothing you can do about that right now." "Look, as a parent, you are going to make mistakes sometimes." "I have made so many, I can't even remember them all." "But I try to learn from my screw-ups, and I work at being a better mother." "Drew, you're never gonna be perfect." "But right now, you have to pull yourself together, because beating yourself up will not help her." "And a little prayer never hurt." "This is some seriously petulant, childish crap." "I bailed you out." "The least you can do is talk to me." "I didn't ask you to bail me out." "I didn't ask you to get on this bus with me, so..." "I don't blame you for being pissed off." " I screwed up." " Yeah." "I did." "I should have told you what was going on." "But that's in the past." "How do I fix it?" "How do I make it up to you, to everybody else?" " What do I do?" " Well, short of getting in a time machine and changing everything you did, it's not gonna happen." " So that's it?" " Yep." "No room in your heart for repentance, for forgiveness?" "Not even a conversation?" "You just shut down?" "I get that maybe the way I do things is not the right way and maybe it's not good for me, but it's who I am." "And I'm self-aware enough to know that I'm not gonna change because I don't want to change." "And that's why Jordan left me, and that's why I am leaving you." "Wow." "So, just get off the bus." "Okay." "[ Bus brakes hiss ]" "You know, you're missing out on a lot, because life is all about change." "See you around, Thomas Charles Callahan." "It could've been great." "It could have." "I understand that you didn't start the fight, but from now on, you have to be more careful choosing your friends." "There is going to be a lot of scrutiny on you and Rick." "Don't give them any other excuses to deny you." "It was out of my control, but I can promise you this..." "It's never gonna happen again, okay?" "I will do my best to make this go away, but do not make me regret going out on a limb for you." "[ Sighs ]" "Look who I found wandering the halls." "I just got the message." "I was on a drug bust." "I came straight from the field." "Oh, did I need to see you." " Oh, what happened to you?" " It's fine." "I'll tell you later." "[ Sighs ] How's she doing?" "It was tough for a while, but they're finally putting in the new lung." "Even then, it's too early to say whether it's gonna take." "It's gonna be a long night." "Which brings me to coffee." "You guys want any?" " Yeah." " Please, yeah." "Okay." "So, Dana, your swallow study shows that you have achalasia." " What is that?" " Can you see that?" "Your lower esophageal sphincter isn't working properly." "Okay, what does that have to do with my heart?" "Now, you said your stomach problems got worse after your trip to Peru, right?" "What does that have to do with my heart?" "Well, did your eyelids ever get really swollen?" "Actually, yeah." "I just assumed it was an allergic reaction from my new dog." "I think you were bit by an insect, something called the... the kissing bug." "It's very common in Latin America." " You're thinking chagas." " Chagas." "What's chagas?" "You developed an infection from the bug bite." "That caused inflammation that weakened and dilated your esophagus and heart muscle." "Are you serious?" "I have a diagnosis?" "Yeah, you have a diagnosis." "Yeah, luckily we caught it in time so the effect on your heart is minimal." "Thank you for believing in me." "Wasn't just me." "It's all part of the job." "[ Chuckles ]" "Got somewhere else to go, buddy?" "You can't ride this all night and day, you know." "There's a shelter down the street." "Yeah." "Thanks." "[ Monitor beeping rhythmically ]" "Drew?" "Yeah, I'm right here." "Hey, s-so is Rick." " Hey, sweetie." " Hi." "How you feeling?" "I can breathe." "Oh, my gosh." "I can breathe." "[ All chuckle ]" "Let's check your peak flow." "[ Exhales deeply ]" "420." "Is that good?" "That's good." " [ Chuckles ]" " That's very good." "[ All chuckle ]" "Bri, this is Syd." "Hi, honey." "It's so nice to finally meet you." "You're prettier than drew described you." "[ Chuckles ] Really?" "[ Chuckles, stammers ]" "But he likes boys, so..." "[ Laughter ]" " You're killing me." " [ Laughs ]" "Paul?" "Thank you." "I don't think I could have done the surgery without you." "You're the best." "I'm just glad you're feeling better." "I'm sorry I wasn't there when you needed me." "And I will never let you down like that again." "I will always be there for you." "I know." "That's why you're gonna be my dad." "Both of you." "I just wanted to let everybody know that Brianna's new lung is working." "It's gonna be a long road back, but the transplant team is really optimistic that she's gonna do great." "Awesome!" "Great." "[ Laughter ]" "Topher, the day shift is here and if it's all right with you," "I'm gonna go break out the leftover beer from the 4th of July?" " As long as I get the first one." " Yes, sir." " Ooh, I get the second one." " Yes, ma'am." " Thank you." " Hey, Topher." " Hey." " Do you mind if I put some of these flyers up around the E.R.?" "Sure." "You're doing this?" "Yeah, this is the segue out of the army" " I was telling you about." " Oh." "I can't go from daily missions to no missions." "Here you go." "And Riley is with her dad?" "She's at summer camp for a month." "So I'm gonna go to the turkish border and help Syrian refugees." "I was hoping to recruit some doctors and nurses to come with me, if that's okay with you." "I-I wish I could join you." "I've got too much on my plate." "Got to keep this place away from the devil." "Yeah, uh, Syd, this is very tempting, but with the sale of the hospital, we're just... we're all in crisis mode." "I-I can't leave." "Besides, I'm like Topher's woobie." "You are." "I was hoping you'd say that." "You are my rock, Jordan." "Hey, right back at you." "It's quite the family you've got here." "It's not something you see very often." "That's why I'm gonna do everything I can to keep it together." "Of course you are." "I'll be back." "Look, Topher, um..." "Maybe it's time we tell everyone what's really going on." "You know, the rumor mill..." "It's going crazy." "Right." "Okay." "After that beer, though, okay?" "[ Hollow coves' "the woods" plays ]" "Yeah, or three." "[ Chuckling ] Yeah." "[ Indistinct conversations ] * we're all falling, and we need a place to hide *" "I really am sorry, about the thing that happened with Jordan." "Really?" "'Cause it..." "It seems like maybe there's something more to it, from both of you." "It's just... there's a lot of history between the two of us, so..." "It's complicated." "Yeah." "You say you're with me, but you're kissing her." "That's pretty complicated." "* our home *" "I'm not someone's second choice, Scott." "No, I know." "And you shouldn't be." "And I really care about you." "I do." "So, could we maybe just slow things down a little?" "Okay." "I think that's probably for the best." "[ Indistinct conversations continue ]" "Well, look what the cat dragged in." "Yeah, uh, seen better days..." "And nights." "Look like you were hit by a truck." "Literally and metaphorically." "How's Brianna?" " Surgery was a success." " Yeah?" "Is drew with her?" "I would probably stay away from him." "I don't think that pretty face can take another shot." "Is that, um..." "U.N. relief group, uh..." "You doing that?" "Yeah, I'm headed to turkey next week." "Yeah, I could really do with a change of scenery." "Toph, um, you think that I could..." "You know, honestly, brother, with everything that's going on in the hospital," "I think it would help everyone if you got out of here for a little while." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "Okay." "I guess I'll go pack my bags." "Wait." "Hold up, cowboy." "I didn't give you the thumbs-up yet." "I don't need a loose canon." "I need someone who is there to do the job." "Toph, can you, um, tell her I can do it?" "Despite his present condition, there is nobody that you would want to have your back in a place like that..." "Than this guy." "All right, you're hired." "But you screw up, and you are on the first plane back home." "Guess I better not screw up, then." "I hope that was the right call." "It was." "Chaos is his happy place." "[ Sighs ]" "Speaking of chaos..." "Uh, everybody?" "All right." "Let me..." "Let me catch you up on where we're at with the hospital." "Uh-oh." "Hey." "Hey." "Wow." "Looks like you had a really rough night." "[ Sighing ] Yeah." "It's been a rough couple of nights this week." "T, you've come so far." "Don't slide now." "Yeah, I'm trying." "Maybe this is just who I am." "It's not." "[ Sighs ]" "I'm going overseas with Syd." "Good to clear my head." "Guess I'll see you in a couple weeks." "Come here." "* and we all sit around the fire * you be careful over there, okay?" "[ Chuckling ] You be careful over here." "[ Elevator bell dings ] * and we all sit around the fire * * we feel so much better now *"
