02x16 - Astraphobia

Post by bunniefuu »

l miss you, Hank.

l really miss you.

l miss you, too.

[BOTH SCREAMlNG]

What are you doing here?

Well, not what you were
going to be doing,
l'll tell you that.

l knew you
were seeing her.

lt was just different,
me seeing her.

Look, we're just friends.

l think there are
unresolved feelings there.

On both sides.

This is me.
This is what you get.

lt's not enough for me.

lt's not what l want.
l'm sorry.

ls this an
arranged marriage?

EVAN: What ifshe gets engaged
and moves to London?
What are we gonna do?

''Will you return to the
Hamptons next summer

''to work for HankMed?''

l don't know.

''l don't know''
is not a ''no.''

So, l have an
on the record
''maybe.'' Good.

NEWSCASTER: Today
in the northeast

we are going to see
plenty ofsunshine,

with the high
pressure dominating

and really
comfortable temperatures.

But enjoy it,
because a storm system
is headed our way.

We won't see
too much ofit tonight,

but we'll be looking
forsome severe thunderstorms
in our area later this week.

PETE: And as
the Junior Explorer
rounded the dark corner,

he came
face-to-face with...

The rule zombie.

And the rule zombie,

he looked at him with
great disappointment.

And he warned him about not
observing the buddy system,

about wandering
off the designated trail.

Remember when
we were talking
about the... [STAMMERS]

The...
[TREES RUSTLlNG]

Looks like that storm
system's coming in,

so we gotta split up
and take cover.

[CHlLDREN CHATTERlNG]

PETE: Explorer chaperones,
you, too.

Yeah.

l'm just... l gotta...

Okay.

Can l come in?
BOY: No.

Full tent, huh?

l'm sure there's room
for one more.

Ah.

Hey, Chip, you know
the best thing
about nature?

No fluorescent lighting?

[LAUGHS]
lt's that you're
never alone.

lt's what l realized
when l was
a Junior Explorer.

lt's why l became
a ranger.

The park,

it's full of life
all the time.

Just look around.
You'll see
what l mean.

Like those fireflies
over there?

PETE: Yep. Exactly.

And that person
wandering off
the designated trail?

You know, Chip,
hop in that tent

and zipper up
the door, okay?

CHAPERONE: Come on, Chip.
Get into the tent.

Code violation equals
a nice little...
[TWlGS CRACKlNG]

Hey, you!
Stop right there.
[GROANS]

Jesus.

Ryan Wilson,
under-qualified.

Larry Butler,
over-qualified.

Nicole Mollen,
no, too specialized.

Victoria Chazin, Columbia,
USC, top of her class,

rotations in emergency
and family medicine.

Hmm, could be good.

He comes
bearing merchandise.

What a change
of pace for him.

Actually, this is not
about merchandising.

This is about survival.

l didn't know
you could distinguish
between the two.

[SlGHS]

Nice.
Yeah.

Ooh, hand warmers.
Freeze-dried meals.

Glow sticks.
Duct tape.

Are we going
into hiding?

No, these are emergency
preparedness kits.

This is a new corporate
policy per the CFO.

Every HankMed employee
must have one

on his or her person
just until further notice.

lnfant formula.
Really?

Yeah, l had
a coupon for those.

Anyway, the end-of-summer
storm is coming,

and we will be
prepared for it.

This is the most
important part.

l got GPS transmitters.

One for you and
one for you.
What?

l got
the mother ship.

Evan, where would
l possibly get lost?

And why would l want
you to be the one
to find me?

lf the high pressure
keeps building out
of Atlantic Canada,

what we saw last night,
that's gonna be like
a basket of kittens

compared to
what comes next.
Wow.

So, just in case.
All right.

[GPS BEEPlNG]

EVAN: Good. lt works.

Awesome.

Wow.
l know, l know.

Look, he's always
been terrified
of thunderstorms.

lt's too bad Paige
isn't in town
to console him.

It's coming your way.

When we were little,
he used to climb
into my bed

during torrential
downpours and make me
play board games.

Well, that explains
why you're such a fan
of blue skies.

Exactly.

Now, ifyou don't have
to be out on the roads,

it's a good idea to stay home
and batten down the hatches.

Stay right here for all
the latest developments

on this end-of-summerstorm.

HankMed. How can
we help you today?

HANK: Yep, that's
poison ivy all right.

Leaves of three,
let it be.

Hairy vine,
no friend of mine.

l've had poison lvy
17 times, so yeah.

Okay, so, Chip,
this will make it
feel better.

HANK: Chip,
how did this happen?

l wandered off
the designated trail

looking for Ranger Pete.

He disappeared last night
and never came back.

Hmm.

Maybe Ranger Pete had
some important park
business to attend to.

Ranger Pete!

Ranger Pete,
are you okay?

Sir, what happened
to you?

[STAMMERS]
l have no idea.

Pupils are equal, round,
reactive to light
and accommodation.

And extraocular
movement is intact?

Mmm-hmm.
Well, what's the
matter with me?

You seem to have some form
of retrograde amnesia.

Losing memory of events
that preceded a trauma.

Yet, l'm not finding any
of the telltale signs
of a head injury.

Can you guys...
lndoor voice maybe?

We sound loud
to you right now?

Yeah, l mean,
not as loud as those

red-tailed hawks outside.
They must be mating.

Uh, do you hear
hawks mating?

No.
Hypersensitivity
to sound.

Pete, any other
discomfort or pain?

Um, well, l mean,
l got a headache
and sore muscles.

You're gonna need
an MRl.

l'll call
Hamptons Heritage.

Good.

[SlGHS]

No service.

You might wanna try
in the parking lot.

But really,
the only reliable place
in the park

is Sunrise Peak
out by the ocean.

Can l just use that?

The emergency phone?

Uh, yeah.

We just use it
in emergencies.

[LAUGHS] You're a stickler
for the rules, huh, Pete?

No need to yell.

Oh, right.
lndoor voice. Sorry.

EVAN: You're a real-life
storm chaser?
ln the flesh.

And, no, l haven't
seen the movie
or the TV show.

[SlGHS] Where's the rest
of your team?

lt's just me
and Zeus.

Zeus. Well,
it's nice to
meet you both.

[LAUGHS] He's a
next-generation
storm-tracking machine.

And the only guy
in my life l can rely on.

Wow.
Where did you buy him?

You can't buy a reliable guy.
l invented him.

So, uh, what do
you and your boyfriend
Zeus think

about this storm that's
headed our way tomorrow?

Oh, we think
it's gonna be a lot
bigger than expected.

On TV, they said
it was gonna be pretty...

[STAMMERS] What makes you
say it's gonna be bigger?

The offshore path,
the temperature differential.

We're looking
at major instability
and turbulence.

EVAN: Wow.

Divya, no, no,
put that down.

Do you have
a death wish?

What is the matter
with you?

You know, the odds
of getting hit by lighting
are roughly 1 in 750,000?

So, you're saying
there's a chance?

This storm's gonna
be really bad.

Okay, l just need
to call the hospital.

Oh, here, use my sat phone.

Thank you very much.

Um, Stacy Sachs,
storm chaser,

this is Divya Katdare,
physician assistant.

Storm chaser.
Physician assistant.

[LAUGHS]
Nice to meet you.

Hey, maybe you could
remove my cast.

Fair exchange
for the phone call.

STACY: Thanks.

NEWSCASTER: We are watching
a potentially dangerous
weatherpattern.

We'll be looking
forsome severe thunderstorms

across the area
by nightfall.

So, don't indulge
the hype. lgnore it.

JlLL: All right, everybody.
We're gonna get
our house in order,

and we're gonna
do it by the book.

Check blood, food,
and laundry supplies.

Sterilize surgical
equipment,

transfer and discharge
whomever we can.

All right, everybody.
Let's get to work.

Very impressive.

We could use someone
like you at the park.

Oh, you must be
Ranger Stambleck.
Yes, ma'am.

The MRl suite
is waiting for you.

ls it just me,
or is it loud in here?

Well, that's what
we're here to find out.

What?

Uh, that's what
we're here...
l was joking.

lt was a joke.

Uh, Ranger Pete,
this way.

You don't have
to yell at me.

So now l know why
you've been so hard
to get a hold of.

Yeah. l'm sorry
l haven't gotten
back to you,

but storm prep is
very time-consuming.

Will it consume
you all week?

l was just thinking that,
l mean, it's been a while.

Maybe we should
get together.

l'd like that.

But the only night
that l have free
this week is tomorrow.

Oh, when the storm
is supposed to peak.

Yeah, well, it's just
a little water.

Maybe an ocean breeze.
Man up, city boy.

Tomorrow night
it is then.
Okay.

Any implants
or joint replacements?

Uh, no.
All original parts,
thank you.

Okay.
You'll need to
remove your watch.

Oh, l'd be happy to.
The alarm beeps
are deafening.

Can't you just
turn off the alarm?

That would involve
more beeps.

Oh, l never saw that.

Pete, l think l may
know what's causing
your amnesia.

You do?
You do?

Think back again
to last night,
and concentrate, okay?

Because if l'm right,
you may develop
other symptoms.

When you were out
in that clearing

and the storm was
starting to gather,
is it possible...

[YELLS]

Oh, my God.

Struck by... l don't...
What are the odds?

1 in 750,000.

Roughly.

DlVYA: So how did you
fracture your wrist?

l was tracking violent weather
in Minneola, Kansas.

Tornado alley.

Sounds like a lovely place.

Well, it was on this day.

[LAUGHS] Until l made
the mistake
of getting northeast

of the updraft core
of a supercell.

lt threw me,
and l landed
on my wrist.

l'm not exactly sure
what you've just described,

but sounds like
something that you'd
want to stay far away from.

No. No, no.
l wanted to get
closer to it.

lt was so beautiful.

And thrilling.

So you put yourself
in harm's way
just for the thrill?

Do you know
why predicting storm
patterns is so hard?

l don't, actually.
Uh, hold still.

[MACHlNE BUZZES]
We're done.

lt's because there
is so much information.

Zeus can synthesize it all,
assemble the big picture,

and hopefully save
some lives in the process.

Sounds a
little lonely.

At times.

And it can also be dangerous,

i.e. the occasional
little wrist fracture.

But, no, l wouldn't
trade it for anything.

Well, let's see
how that little wrist
fracture has healed.

Okay, good.

Stacy, how long ago
did you say
that this happened?

Uh, six weeks ago.

You have a non-union
of the Colles fracture.

l'd like to talk
to the doctor
who set your wrist.

Okay, so maybe
it happened
four weeks ago.

Look, l have to
get this cast off,

so l can get
back to work
with both hands.

Stacy, l can't take
the cast off now.

And you just need
to take it a little easy.

l can't take it easy.
l never could. l'm sorry
l wasted your time.

The red-tailed hawk,
you know,

it's, like,
people have this idea

that it's just the tail
that's red,

but it's, like,
the whole personality.
l mean...

Hey, Pete.
How you feeling?
Fine, actually.

Except for the fact
that l've been here
all day.

Oh, yeah, we're just
waiting for the results,

the MRl, ECG,
hearing test, blood.

Was all that
really necessary?

For a lightning injury?
Uh, yeah.

lt's pretty standard
to have a good look around.

Yeah. l'm shocked
to be a strike victim.

But l got to
tell you, doc,

l'm not feeling
so victim-y...

lsh.

And l can't
stand this place.

You know
the windows
don't even open?

The only fresh air
around here is
in the oxygen tanks.

[LAUGHS] Pete,
we still need to
check your results

and look for damage,
so we can anticipate

any problems
down the road.

Like what?
Well, like

neurocognitive deficits,
chronic pain syndromes

that may not manifest
for days or weeks.

Okay. So...
So what's next?

Well, in 48 hours,
we need to repeat the ECG

and blood and urine
tests to check for
deep-tissue damage.

48 hours?
l can't spend the next
two days indoors.

ln here?
l got to get back
to the park.

[EXHALES]

All right.
Well, be back
in 48 hours,

but l'm gonna drive
you there myself.

Sweet. Let's go.
Yeah, Pete,
Pete, Pete.

You may want to change.

Oh, yeah. Well, l mean...
We'll do it in the car.

Oh, Pete, you can't
go out like that.

[SlGHS] Listen to all
those great sounds.

l can hear the northern
flicker woodpeckers.
Big fan of the flicker.

Excited to get
back to work, huh?
You have no idea.

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
Oh.

Well, good news.

Your CPK is normal,

and your urine is negative
for myoglobin,

which means no muscle
or heart damage.

Oh, awesome.
Yeah.

Hank, you're
a very responsible doctor
and a gentleman,

but think l can take it
from here?

Yeah, no, of course.
l'm just...

l'm still concerned
about the hyperacute hearing,
so l'll be checking back

to make sure
it resolves.

Works for me.
Okay.

That looks like
a nice place for a nap.

Well, l don't nap there.
l sleep there.

What?
You sleep out here
every night?

Hank, there's 24 hours
in each day.

Sun rises in the east,
sets in the west.
Nature follows rules.

l try and stay as close
to it as l can.

All right, just don't
stay too close

until this storm passes.

You believe lightning
can strike twice?

l believe in keeping people
out of hospitals,

so l can't afford
to play the odds.
And neither can you.

Astraphobia.

What?

The irrational fear
of thunder and lightning.

Just diagnosed you.

Um, your park ranger
is actually proof

that my fear
is entirely rational.

Actually, you could argue
that he just took the hit

for the 749,999 people
closest to him,

which would make you
even safer than before.

No, it's good logic.
lt is.

[SCREAMS]

Safer from lightning,
at least.

[GROANlNG]

Oh, my God.

Did you have wound care
on standby for me?

lf you'd reached
for the power drill,

l was gonna start
scrubbing in.

Good.
Joke all you want.

But when everyone else
is freaking out

'cause they don't have
coast guard-approved
weather gear,

we'll see who's
laughing then.
Dude, l have to say,

l don't remember
your astraphobia

ever being
quite this irrational.

lt's not irrational.

You're tying down
a wicker frame.

lt's not wicker.

And suddenly
there were two rule zombies.

And then three.

These zombies were
angry and drooling,

looking for blood.

You see,
this was their park.

And they weren't gonna
let some mischievous kid

disrespect it
and then brag about it
to his mischievous friends.

They moved in closer.
[BOYS GASPlNG]

To be continued, Explorers.

[BOYS GROAN]

Hey.
HANK: Hey, bud.

You guys want
to join us?

We're about to practice
our bowline flood
rescue techniques.

That sounds like fun,
but we're just here
to see how you're doing.

l'm on top of the world.

Really. This feels like
the first time in my life
people can actually see me.

Maybe we should
prescribe lightning strikes
to all our patients.

[LAUGHS] What...

Everything okay, Pete?

Do you hear what l'm hearing?

Probably not.
What is it?

Banging, grunting.

Maybe the hawks
are at it again.

Something's not right.

Explorers, stay here
within the circle of trust.

The acting troop
commander will be Chip,

since he's
the most responsible.

[BOYS GROAN]

PETE: Over there!

She's in a
non-designated area.

Ma'am, don't move.

[YELLS]
DlVYA: Stacy!

Hey, you're the fugitive
from the other night.

[GROANS]

PETE: Easy.

He shouldn't be
going down
in that area.

Hey, Stacy.
Hi, l'm a doctor.

Let me just
take a look at you.

l'm really all right.
Okay. Okay.

ls she okay?

l think you broke
my hard drive.

Let's make sure
that's the only thing
that broke.

ls your arm okay?
l told you.
l'm okay.

l need to make sure
that my transceiver

is up and running
before the storm
hits tonight.

You're gonna need
a permit for that.

[GROANS]

All right,
you know what, ma'am,
here's the situation.

We're gonna safely
vacate you from
the restricted area,

then you need
to clean up your stuff.

How am l supposed
to clean up if
l've been vacated?

lt's a fair point.

Let's get you
up from here.

Listen, l'm not
bothering anyone.

l know. Come.
PETE: Here we go.

HANK: Okay.
Grab my hand,
ma'am.

Here we go.
One, two, three.

[STACY GRUNTS]

Yeah.
There we go.

Oh!
Uh, um...

Whoa. That's...
That's weird.

PETE: Yeah, l'll say.

[GRUNTS]

Yeah, l guess
l rescued you too hard.

No, no, no, no.
That... That noise.

Um...

[GRUNTS]
Hey, is that...

Did you get zapped?

Did l...
Um, well, yeah.

[EXCLAlMS]
And you're okay?

Actually,
it's a bit early to say.

l've never met
anyone who was
struck before.

l mean,
the odds of that...

PETE: 1 in 750,000.

Exactly. l mean,
well, roughly.

God, connecting
to nature in
such a primal way

kind of makes you
a rock star.

[LAUGHS] l mean,
in meteorological circles.

You know, l...
Can you get off...
That's my g*n.

That's not...
Yeah...
[GROANS]

Whoa, here,
let me help you.

[GROANS]

Oh, my ribs.
Stacy, Stacy,

we should really
take a look at that.
l'm okay.

DlVYA: Oh, there it is.

Yeah, looks like
you fractured
the eighth rib

on your right side.

That's no big deal,
right?

And the buzzing in my ears,
l mean, l only heard it
for a few seconds.

Yeah, l don't
see any signs
of head trauma.

You were probably
just hearing your
pulse racing

from all
the adrenaline.

Have you had
many other bone
injuries before?

Comes with the job.

Um, l broke my tibia
chasing an F3 tornado
in lowa.

l fractured my
clavicle during
Hurricane Charley.

Oh, and l chipped
a bone in my foot getting
out of my truck twice.

You might have
mentioned all of these
injuries yesterday.

Believe me, l get banged up
on the job all the time.

Yeah, no, l'm sure,
but this is more

than just hazards
of the trade.

Your bones look
a bit pale here,

not quite as dense
as l'd normally
like to see.

You know what? l noticed
the same thing yesterday

when l did
her wrist x-ray.

But she's awfully
young for osteomalacia.

Osteo-what?
lt's a deficiency
in the components

used to make bone.
Vitamin D, phosphorus...

Okay, enough about my ribs.

You guys, how about just
slipping me some painkillers

and getting this cast off,
so l can get back to work?

Okay, Stacy,
you really need
to slow down.

l will have plenty of time
to relax next week,

but there is
a severe weather event

peaking tonight, and l intend
to be right in its path.

Have you had any
surgeries recently?
Nope.

Are you taking
any meds?
Nope.

Could be you're
not getting enough
vitamins and minerals

in your diet
or just malabsorption.

We should order
a full metabolic workup,

and let's track
down all of Stacy's
previous x-rays.

Sounds like there
may be a lot of them.

Okay, doc,
can't we just...
Nope. Sorry.

Cast won't come off
before next week.

Can you finish up
with this storm chaser?

Yeah.
Thank you.

Um, HankMed memorandum.

ln the unlikely,
but actually
very likely event

that the national
power grid goes down,

all patient accounts
shall now be settled
in cash, okay?

Regarding your
memorandum of
two seconds ago

concerning patient
accounts, no.

Okay, where...
Whoa, where are
you going?

Got to change.
l'm meeting Jill
for dinner.

Okay. [STAMMERS]
Tonight?

Going out
tonight?
Yeah.

Are you out
of your mind?

You should be here.

You should be helping me
batten down the hatches.

We have hatches, right?
l'm sure Boris
must have hatches.

Stop saying ''hatches.''

And don't wait up for me.
Just leave the front
hatch unlocked.

HANK: [SlGHS] So,
l just want to
let you know...

Uh, Emily and l
broke up.

Oh.

Yeah.

She dumped you.

Why would you
assume that?

Hot, blonde doctor.
Sexy medical banter.

[STAMMERS]
Feisty in
the bedroom.

You expect me to believe
you'd walk away from that?

[CELL PHONE RlNGS]

l...

Sorry, one sec.

Yeah.
Yeah, hello?

PETE: Hello, Hank?
Can you hear me?

Pete, what's wrong?

The northern leopard frog
is gone.

The what...
What's gone?

The northern leopard frog.

l can't hear its
distinctive grunts anymore,

or any of the other sounds
from before.

Just this annoying thump
in my ear.

lt's common
for that to go away.

And that thumping is
called residual tinnitus.

Completely normal for
someone struck by lightning.

lt's not just that, Hank.

l feel like l lost my mojo.

l...

l feel all alone out here.

lnvisible again.

You've been through a trauma.

You know, mood swings
are to be expected.

Listen, l want you
to go inside and wait for me

by the ranger
station, okay?

But the lightning's
coming. You know,
[STAMMERS] l need...

[STATlC] I need...

What... What...
You need what?

[GROANS] sh**t.

Listen, would you mind
if we make a stop
on the way to dinner?

No, not at all.

Thank you.

Well, l'm glad
to see you're
taking it easy.

The storm is
approaching the target
area, doc.

Time to saddle up.
Something wrong?

Yeah, have you seen
Ranger Pete?

He's not at
the station.

No, l think
that falling on top of him

was enough awkwardness
for one day.

Well, this may be
a medical emergency.
We need to find him.

Stacy, the buzzing
in your ear

that you told
me about.
Yeah?

l need to know
exactly when you
first noticed it.

Was it right
around the time you
landed on Pete?

Yeah, but l thought
that you said
that was nothing.

Okay, try to remember,
was it a buzz

or was it more of,
like, a whooshing sound?

lt was more of a whooshing,

and l also felt
a vibration.

Okay, l think what
you heard or felt
wasn't coming from you.

lt was coming
from Pete,
from his neck.

We need to find him now
before he has a stroke.
Stroke?

Yeah.
Well, what can l do?

There's a spot
in the park that...

The one that gets
a decent signal.

Yes, Sunrise Peak.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come with me.
l know a shortcut.

Great.

HANK: Pete!

Pete, you shouldn't
be out here.

JlLL: l'll call 91 1 !

Did he get hit again?
l didn't see any lightning
over here.

He probably suffered
a transient ischemic att*ck.

l think he has a tear
in his carotid artery,

which could have caused
a small clot.

Come on, buddy.

There he is.

Hey, Pete,
we're gonna get you
out of here soon.

Yup.
There it is.

A dissection of
your carotid artery.

lt wasn't
the lightning?

Well, yes and no.

When you got struck
the other day,

l think the impact
threw you to the ground

with such force,
it tore the artery
in your neck.

Well, how could l
not feel that?

lt probably started
as a very small tear

that took a few
days to grow,

so it was easy
to miss at first.

Hank, l still can't
get a cell signal.

Well, we need
to get him
to a hospital.

There's got
to be another...
Ambulance is
on the way.

Great.
Thank you.

[SlGHS]
Okay, bud.

Sorry to bother you
while you are out to dinner,

but Stacy's blood
and urine lab work are back,

and they confirm
it's osteomalacia.

Question now is why.

Kidney failure,
pancreatitis, acidosis...

None of them make sense
for a seemingly healthy
33-year-old.

l feel like we're
missing something, Hank.
Call me back?

Okay, so l know
who Stacy is,
l know what urine is.

The rest you're
going to have
to explain.

Maybe later.

l am just about
to take off.
Okay.

l'm very interested
in Stacy's case, you know.

You are?
Yeah, chasing storms

is her whole life.

Um, plus Hank
isn't here,

so l'm second
in command.

All right,
l'm tied for second.

Okay? l thought maybe
you could use

someone to bounce
things off of.

Well, that is very sweet.

But l am headed home
before the rains start
and the roads flood.

Um, so did you
not hear what

Stephanie Abrams
said on the weather
channel today?

She said this is the big one,
the end-of-summer storm.

The Mayans were right.
lt's not safe out there.

She said that, like,
four times.

Evan, l'll be fine.

You know what? Divya,

l can't allow it.
What about Raj?

What would Raj do
if he lost you?

Just think about him.

Or does he
have other wives?

Look, look, look,
this is not the time

for you to be out
on the open road

in your car
by yourself.

Divya.

Well, l suppose
that there is more
space to work here.

And your refrigerator
is better stocked than mine.

l stocked it
today, yeah.

So, uh...

Maybe l'll, you know,
ride out the storm here.

lf that is okay with you.

Sure. Absolutely.
Yeah.

lf it makes you
feel safer.

Okay. So, you wanna
play Risk?

A board game?
Yeah.

You can have lndia.

Yay.

All right, we need
a head CT to rule out
hemorrhagic stroke

and a CT angio of his neck
to confirm my diagnosis.

JlLL: The vascular surgeon's
waiting at the ER.

HANK: Lift.

[SlGHS] You're gonna
be fine, Pete.

Thanks for saving
my life, Hank.

Hey, you can thank Stacy.

She's the one
who could hear
your damaged artery

when she fell on you.

Good thing l rescued her.

lf we hadn't caught this now,
it could have led
to a major stroke.

Pete, what were you
doing out there?

l don't know.

l was looking
for something.

Whatever it is,
you're not gonna find it
in a lightning storm.

Maybe you
already have it.

You just need
the confidence to trust that.

Hey, doc.
Yeah.

Uh, can l ride
with him?

Yeah, if it's
okay with...
Really?

Sure.
No, wait a minute.

You can't miss
the storm.

That's the only
reason you're here.

Are you kidding?
[LAUGHS]

l get to hang out
with an actual
lightning victim.

That's the best
field study ever.

And, besides,
there's always
another storm.

BOTH: That's the beauty
of nature.

You know, l remember
something about when
l got zapped.

STACY: Oh, yeah?
Yeah.

Pete, we'll meet
you there.

Something tells me
Chewy's isn't gonna be open.

Yeah, l'm sorry
we didn't make it
to dinner.

l guess we'll have
to take a rain...

Whoa!

Whoa. [SlGHS]
[EXCLAlMS]

[BOTH LAUGH]
Are you okay?

Yeah, l'm fine.

Okay, good. [SlGHS]

And glad we
didn't get here
three seconds sooner.

Okay.

Ah, perfect.

[SlGHS]

[THUNDER CRASHES]

[BOTH LAUGH]

Like l was saying,
rain check.

[LAUGHS] Yeah.

Exactly.

All right,
come on, Divs.

l'm attacking Yakutsk.

Evan, l am here
because there is
a storm raging outside,

not because l want
to relive being a teenager.

With no life.

[THUNDER CRASHES]
[SQUEALS]

Though that is
exactly what a teenage
girl sounds like.

Maybe you should be
watching Twilight.

Seen it.
Team Edward.

Hank,
sorry to bother you again,

but l have been reviewing
some case studies,

and there is one condition
that we haven't
ruled out yet for Stacy.

Unfortunately,
diagnosing it

requires a full-body scan.

Call me.
l'm here with Evan.

Alone.

[ELECTRlClTY BUZZlNG]

Of course.

[SlGHS]

Still no signal?
Nope.

Okay, we can't stay
here all night.

l'm gonna walk
to the main road and
try to find some help.

Seriously?
Yeah.

Hank, no.

You're gonna have
to swim your way
out of the park.

Oh, really?
That's the first time

l've seen you
show any concern
about the storm.

Well, it's the first time
l've been almost
crushed by a tree.

True. Okay.
Don't go anywhere now.

l'm going with you.
That's where l'm going.

All right.
One, two, three, go!

[BOTH SCREAMlNG]

No. No good.
Back in the car!

[JlLL LAUGHlNG]

OH! [GRUNTS]

BOTH: Oh!

Okay, that was
possibly the worst
idea ever.

Yeah, it seemed
like a good idea
at the time.

[SlGHS]

Wow.

Maybe we should
just stay here
a while.

Now that's
the best idea ever.
Okay.

EVAN: They should not be
out in this weather.

DlVYA: Evan, relax.
They're having dinner.

And not only is
this power outage
temporary,

but you are completely
prepared for it.

ln fact, because of you,
we all are.

EVAN: You're right.
lt's go time.

Just let me flip on our new
emergency backup generator.

Ha-ha.

[DlVYA SlGHS]

EVAN: Anything?
No.

Oh.

Anything?
No.

[EVAN GRUNTlNG]

Anything?
Still no.

So much for
your battle plan.

EVAN: At least l had one.

That may or may
not have involved

me buying a generator
on Craigslist.

As-is.

Thank you.

[SlGHS]

Damn the end of summer.

What did you just say?

l said, ''Damn the end
of summer storm.''

No, you said,
''Damn the end
of summer.''

lt doesn't take
a psychologist

to figure out
where you're
going with this.

Where are you
going with this?

Maybe this isn't
about the storm.

Your father could
be going to prison.

Many of HankMed's
clients will be leaving
their summer homes.

You'll be leaving
the Hamptons.

Which means we'll
still have a zillion
resumes to go through.

Then l'll have to train
your replacement.

Yeah, it does feel
like everything's
up in the air.

Yeah.

ln a few weeks,
l will be moving
to London,

starting a whole
new life.

lt is unsettling.

But like all storms,

this one is
going to pass.

And you'll
be fine, Evan.

We both will.

ls that the worst of it?

Maybe Zeus miscalculated
on this one.

Maybe his thought
process is flawed.

Maybe not.

Evan, can you
connect the laptop
to the big screen?

Stacy said that
the key to predicting

a storm pattern
was to synthesize
all the information

and assemble
the big picture.

We don't have to wait
for a full-body scan.

Stacy's had
so many prior breaks

that most of her body
has already been x-rayed.

EVAN: That's so cool.
That's almost her whole body.

There it is.
Where?

On her right foot.

From an x-ray taken
two years ago.

l think that
that little growth

is what's causing
the malabsorption.

And if l'm right,
it's an easy fix.

Wow.

lt's almost like
you've turned into Hank.

Except you
say ''shedule.''

HANK: Let's see what
we've got in here.

Okay. [SlGHS]

Blankie.
Yes. Yes, yes.

Could have used these
five minutes ago.

[LAUGHS] Yeah.

You got an emergency
change of casual
women's clothing?

Even better. Beef stew
and Mediterranean chicken.

Mmm. Vacuum-packed
for maximum freshness.

[LAUGHS]
Lady's choice.

Hmm...

Hank, you really
are prepared
for any situation.

lt's all Evan.

Oh, he must never know
this emergency kit
actually came in handy.

Deal.
Okay.

Okay.

Honestly,
l expected worse.

You think
this is good?

l know this terrific
freeze-dried place
in Southampton.

The best.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

[THUNDER CRASHES]

l'm at the hospital
with Stacy and Pete.

lt would be nice
if you called.

l'm getting worried, Hank.

[LAUGHlNG] l can't
tell the difference
between them,

can you?
l'm so sorry.

The roads must be a mess
after the storm.

l am sure
that Hank is on his way.

But your carotid
stent procedure went
very well, Mr. Stambleck.

You should be
back to work
in a couple of days.

Writing as many
citations as you want.

And l hate
to state the obvious,

but you should
avoid any further
lightning encounters.

No worries.
We're hoping to install

the new Zeus
detection system in
the park next month.

Pretty amazing technology.

So as soon as they
remove this thing
from my foot,

my bones just go
back to normal?

lt's called
oncogenic osteomalacia.

Okay.
The growth secretes

an enzyme that
inhibits vitamin
and mineral absorption

into your bones.

After the surgery,
your bones will be able

to absorb them again

and should normalize
in a couple of months.

ln storm chaser lingo,

ff l would say that
this condition is an F1 .

Oh, l can sleep
through one of those.

So, Jill's not in her office.
The nurse just told me
that her phone's

been going straight
to voice mail for hours.

Well, they were both with us
in the park last night.

They were supposed
to meet us here.

How big
is the park?
About 1,700 acres.

So, they could be anywhere.

l can call in a search team.

Or we could use my truck.

Actually, l got this one.
l got it.

EVAN: So, l'm not gonna
harp on the fact

that my thorough storm
preparations were mocked,

much like Benjamin
Franklin was mocked

when he flew his kite
too close to the Liberty Bell.

You're harping.

And bastardizing
American history.

But who's grateful now
that l put

state-of-the-art GPS
locators in your bags?

Grateful that you can
track my every move?

[SlGHS] Divs,
l prefer to think of it

as protecting
my valuables, actually.

[BEEPlNG]

Bingo.

Guys!

Hey, guys!

Hey, we're here to rescue you.

Guys.

Hey.

Oh, my God.

What?

Oh. [SlGHS]

lt looks like they
rescued each other.

What should we do?

Well, we should
leave them be

while we call
for road service.

Oh, my God.

There's no signal
out here, though.

There's nothing.

You know,
l believe that there is
an emergency phone

at the ranger station.

Oh, my God,
Jill and Hank.

Jank!

Jank is back.

That's hilarious.

Hey, we made
a pretty good team.

We should have
a combo name, in fact.

Evan and Divya...
Evadivs.

Eva... That's weak.

Divya and Evan...
Divyan. Divyan?

Okay, here's one.

Divya and idiot.

Didiot.

Not bad.
Hmm.

All right.
How about we compromise?

[SlGHS]

ABRAMS ON RADlO:
Also coming up next here...

This is Stephanie Abrams.

You know,
l always thought...
[SHUSHES]

She's a weather
woman, okay?
Show some respect.

So get out and enjoy
the sunshine.

Maybe go down to the market,
get some fresh fish,
