02x09 - Kaddish

[bunniefuu]

- It's your dad. I am so sorry,
Jake, he's gone.

Previously on Doc.

- I don't suppose
I ever met him.

- Once, we all went out
to dinner one time.

You told me there were some
things I needed to tell him.

- And did you?

I've been having
memory seizures.

- The fact that you
collapsed tells me that

you could be headed
for cerebral edema.

You need to take
an oral dose daily.

- I never changed my own proxy.

Part of me still
thinks she knows me best.

- That one!
- Amy Larsen TMS recordings.

You realize we can blow up

all of her
relationships with this?

- Okay. So, today
is the day, right?

- Today's the day,
no more putting this off.

- Run me through it!

- Dr. Larsen, you've been Chief

for three months,
and they have been just about

the worst three
months of my life.

You are harsh,
you are condescending,

you treat interns
like they're med students,

and although I can take it,
being around that horrible

energy all day
is just soul sucking.

- Sounds like a great start!
- You think it'll fly?

- Be serious. Gimme the real.
- Alright.

I have had an amazing time
working here,

I really respect and admire you,
blah blah blah.

And, although I know it's not
customary for an intern

to leave this early
in their tenure,

I do have an opportunity
at Johns Hopkins,

my beautiful wife
has family in Baltimore,

et cetera, et cetera.

So it would mean a lot
if you would bless this,

and write me a letter
of recommendation.

- I'm assuming
the blah blah blah

and the et cetera will be
something coherent.

- Something coherent,
I'll figure something out.

- Well then, okay, stud.
Go get her.

- I need CPAPs, induction meds,
PPE and ventilators.

I understand that it's
barely penetrated the US,

but I don't want to be
caught with our pants down.

It's coming, Dr. Kumara,

wishing it away
is not a strategy!

- Was that about the,
the coronavirus?

- Yeah, I'm just trying
to stay ahead of it,

but I don't want you
panicking people.

- No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Of course not.

- Have you read
anything about it?

- CDC and NIH alerts,

I studied a few of
the case reports out of Wuhan.

- Yeah, what did you make of it?

- Well, I'm no epidemiologist,

but it does seem to act
in strange ways.

- Well, buckle up!
We may find out soon enough.

Now, you had
a question for me?

- Oh, uh yeah, I was um,
I was just gonna

ask you if uh,

maybe I could see a few
patients on my own today,

I feel like I'm ready for that.

- You understand why
I have things organized

the way that I do, with all of
the interns being supervised?

- You don't want any mistakes.
- Right.

So, don't make any.

- Thank you.

Okay, Shauna, you've
had a fever up to 101?

- 101.2 yesterday morning.

- Okay, and loose bowels?

- A little,

for a day or two,
but ER sent me here

cause they said I have
some problem with my kidney.

- Yeah, you have a clot in
the artery that's going to

your left kidney,
but we can treat it

with a medication
called heparin.

- What causes this?

- You know, it could
be a variety of things,

including dehydration,
but we'll run some blood work

to investigate that.

Anything else going on,
in terms of symptoms?

- Not really, no.

- Alright, well,
I'll have a nurse come in

and she'll take some blood,
and we'll get that IV set up.

And uh, if you get the meatloaf,

you gotta be careful,
it can get a little gnarly.

- Ah, it doesn't much
matter right now,

I can barely taste anything.

- What was that?

- Oh, I can't really taste
anything the last few days.

That's not a big deal, is it?

- Um. I'm not sure yet.

I want you to smell this,

and tell me
what you think it is.

- I can't smell anything,
what is it?

- 54 year old man, we have
complications from lupus.

He has been on methotrexate
for three days,

but he is still suffering
from joint inflammation

and pleuritis,
what do we do next?

- Dr. Larsen?

Can I have a word?

- Are you interrupting
my rounds?

- I'm sorry, but I don't think
this can wait.

- You'd better have the answer
when I get back.

Yes?

- I have a 32 year old
female patient

that's presenting with GI
issues, and a low-grade fever.

The ER diagnosed
renal artery thrombosis,

but she has a complete
loss of smell.

- So, you're thinking--

- There were two cases of
anosmia in Wuhan,

so I pulled up the case
reports out of Italy,

there were three there as well.

- Yeah, but in those cases,

it developed much later
in the cycle.

- I get that, but we also know

that it seems to keep morphing
in its presentation.

- The fact that I was
discussing this, this morning

when you walked into my office?
- I'm not that impressionable.

- Or looking to score points,
chasing zebras?

- Look, the last thing I want

is to have coronavirus
in our hospital.

- Breathe in for me.

And out.

Does that hurt?
- No.

- Any coughing,
or shortness of breath?

- No.

- What about fatigue?

- I'm a little tired, and uh,
I'm a bit jet lagged.

- What about her blood work?

- I haven't sent anybody
in here to do that yet.

Not until you saw her.

- Well, maybe you should
do that now. Yourself.

- There are 350 million
people in this country,

and 71 confirmed cases.

None in Minnesota.
- Well, there's always a first.

- So, you want to shut down
internal medicine,

quarantine everyone on the floor
and send panic

through the whole hospital
on the hunch of an intern?

- I examined the patient, and I
support Dr. Heller's diagnosis.

- Based on loss of smell?

- And fine crackles
in both lung bases.

Plus, the blood work
shows low platelets.

- Both of which
suggest adenovirus.

Any evidence of
widespread clotting?

- Not yet, no.

- Has she been to China
or Italy?

- She did just fly in
from New York.

- Where there's
one confirmed case.

- So far! But there's
no real testing.

And obviously, people
from all over the world

come through there.

- We have no confirmed contact,

no cough,
no respiratory distress.

- Five out of the 18 cases
in Washington had GI issues.

- You're stretching!

- If you don't report this to
Public Health and contact trace,

in 24 hours it'll be too late.

- Enough of this hysteria,
Dr. Larsen.

- This is not hysteria!

Although the pushback
seems like it might be.

- I'm not taking a call
from the Governor about this.

We can revisit in 24 hours
if you have more evidence.

- Well, I certainly
admire your courage.

- Careful, Dr. Larsen.

- Apparently,
it's your job to be careful.

It's our job to do
what we think is right.

- You okay?

- Cemeteries are always hard.

- You ever meet him?

- No, he lived in Arizona.

Don't think he got here much.

- Why didn't they put
the dirt in yet?

- We're gonna do that
after the ceremony.

- With the shovels?
- Yeah.

Yeah, you'll see.

At first,
everybody's gonna line up

and they'll take a shovel,

but what we do is we turn it
upside down like this,

so it only holds
a small amount of dirt.

And then, we take just
that small amount of dirt,

and we pour it
back into the hole.

That's our way
of saying to Saba,

we're burying you,
but we want to go slowly

because we don't want
to say goodbye yet. Okay?

- There were a lot of things
unspoken between me and my dad.

A lot that went unsaid,

like a lot of fathers and sons,
I'm sure.

I lost my mom when I was 14,

and I didn't realize it
at the time,

but I realize now
what my dad lost.

He lost his best friend.

My mom, she was,
she was his rock,

his anchor, and...

my dad never let
me or Allie feel that.

Because he knew
he needed to be our rock.

A lot of you know
how sick my mom was,

and how much she suffered,

and I never told him,

but my dad,
he always knew that's...

that's why I wanted
to be a doctor,

so that I could help people
the way I couldn't help her.

He always wanted me to
take over the family business,

but he knew that I needed
to take a different path,

so he put his head down
and he worked 14 hours a day

for my dreams.

He didn't need to say
why, or take credit,

or, or...

tell people what
he was sacrificing,

he just, he just did it.

I'm a different generation,

so I talk a lot more
about things than he did,

but at the end
of the day, I just,

I hope that I can do
the things that matter,

like he did, cause,
cause talk is cheap.

And my dad, he, he just gave.
From his heart.

- Hey!
- Hey.

- I know you're not supposed
to bring flowers, so...

- Is that rugelach?

- Uh, I didn't know how to
pronounce it, but yes!

- And bagels,
I think we're pretty clear

on how to say that.

- Yeah, fantastic! Thank you,
I think we're up to 85 dozen,

can you just uh, just
drop it in the kitchen?

- Of course.

- I loved what
you said about him.

- Oh, thank you. I don't know,

I didn't really
prepare anything.

I got your text this morning,
sorry I didn't write back.

- No, you've got
your hands pretty full.

- Yeah, yeah it's a,
it's a lot of family.

Yeah.

Mia is adorable!

She looks like you.

- I do see a lot
of my dad in her too.

- Huh. How's she taking it?

- Ah, I don't know, I don't
think she understands yet.

- No, I'm sure.

- What about you,
how you holding up?

- Me?

- You collapsed
a couple of days ago.

- Oh, yeah! I, yeah, I'm fine!

- You taking your meds?

- Yes, I am.

- Um, hey listen.

Look, I was in a,
I was in a pretty low place

the other night
when I called you.

- Yeah, of course you were.

- I mean, I just,

I hope I didn't send
any mixed signals.

- The only signal I got was that

you wanted to talk to
somebody who had met your dad.

The fact that
I didn't remember him

probably doesn't help,
but yeah.

I obviously understand loss,

so it makes sense
that you would call me.

- Yeah. Yeah, I guess it does.

Um, anyway,
I'm glad you're here.

- I am your friend, Jake.
No matter what.

- Thank you.

- Jakey, can I borrow you?
Your cousins want to say hello.

- Yeah, of course. Um.
I'll talk to you in a bit?

- Yeah.

How's the body language been?

- They were kind of
having a moment earlier,

but it's hard to tell.

They could just
be playing it cool,

cause we're in front of
everyone at the hospital.

- Well, it is much more
expl*sive for us

if they're sleeping together,

so you know,
maybe try to find out.

- Hi there.
I'm Rachel, Jake's ex-wife.

- Yeah, hi. I'm Amy Larsen.

It's nice to meet you.
And, lovely house.

- Jake chose it, way back when.

- So Mia was born here?

- Born and raised.

Well, not a home birth,
I'm not one of those,

well, you know what I mean!

- Yeah, big believer
in the epidural!

- No doulas for this girl!

- Just a little heads up,
stay away from Aunt Sara!

- Oh God, what is
she saying now?

- Just that you're the harlot
who broke his heart

and you shouldn't
be hosting this!

- What? Well, that is a new one!

Amy, this is Allie,
Jake's sister.

- Hi!

- Amy was Chief when
Jake was an intern.

- Oh! Right, and then you had
that car accident

and you lost like


- Allie!
- What?

- Uh, it was eight, actually.

I mean, it's fine,
it's not like it's a secret.

- Well, he told us
some stories about you!

- Really?
- Oh yeah!

He hated you at first, but then
he really came to respect you.

And you made him Chief Resident,

which is a really
big deal for him.

- Well, he's a great doctor.

- And an even better man.

- He practically raised Allie
after their mom died.

- Yeah, he told me that.

- He did?

- Well uh, long nights on call,

what else are you gonna talk
about besides your childhood?

- Right!

- These are so good!
- Pass me one.

- I feel so stupid. I brought
flowers instead of food.

- Well, if you're
not gonna contribute,

maybe don't load up like that.

- You shouldn't stay
stuff like that to a woman!

- Okay, so tell me
the deal here,

this is Jake's ex-wife's house?

- Uh, it was his house,
until he moved out.

- And, when did
they get divorced?

- Uh, couple of years ago.

- Cause they look
pretty snug, no?

- Well, I think that's
somewhat performative,

for their daughter's sake.

- You know, I've been
getting a feeling

there might be something
between him and Amy.

- What?
- You don't see that?

No!

- But you do!

- I-I-I plead the fifth!

- Come on!
Wait, are you talking about

before or after
the her accident?

- Uh, both.

- How am I the last one
to know about this?

- Maybe cause you think of her
as the Virgin Mary

up on her pedestal!

- What about now? I mean,
I don't think Dr. Ridley's

gonna be letting people date
their superiors, do you?

- No, probably not.

- Where is she today, anyway?

I mean, Dr. Hamda's here,
and he's CMO.

- She's out of town
on some conference,

and he's just a good guy.

- Of course, he's also part
of a weird triangle, right?

- And you were able
to defrost it okay?

Amazing!
Thank you so much, Katie!

We should be home
in a couple of hours.

Love you too.

I can't believe she's
going away to college,

I'm really gonna miss her.

- It's still 18 years
till the empty nest,

so we got that going for us.

- Yeah, we do!

- You're an intern again,

which means
Jake's your boss now?

- Uh, yeah! Delicious, right?

- Well, it's kind of like
Freaky Friday or something.

Kind of like freaky every day!

- Uh oh.

- Rachel.

Did you invite Leslie?

- I told her I was hosting.
- Okay well, I want her gone.

- Seriously?

- She helped break up
our marriage, so yeah,

unless were you planning
on her bringing another DJ

for you to sleep with?

- Always fireworks
between these two.

- They went to
college together, right?

- Yeah. Sometimes he'll
date someone else,

sometimes she'll
date someone else,

but they can't seem
to shake each other,

no matter how hard they try.

- I hear you,
and I'm sorry, okay?

I'll ask her to leave.

- Thank you. I'm sorry, I just--

- I know.

- I don't want to look
at her face today.

- See?
- Yeah. For sure.

- I keep telling him,
he just needs to forgive her

and end the suspense
for everyone,

but maybe today will be the day.

- Grief can be very clarifying.

Okay, Hannah Banana,
I sent it.

- What do you mean, you sent it?
Sent it to who?

- Like we talked about,
first the new wife,

then the nympho.

Now just sit back and watch
the powder keg explode!

- You think I have coronavirus?

- We're saying there's
a chance you have it,

which is why we need to keep you
isolated until we're sure.

- And what are these drugs
you're giving me?

- It's an antiviral medication,

along with a low dose
of chloroquine.

- But what if you're wrong?

I thought nobody even knows
how to treat this.

- We are simply following
the protocols

that have been used
in other hospitals.

And both of these
are harmless,

so we're just
doing this pre-emptively.

Now, if your
situation escalates,

we could potentially
add in antibiotics,

but we don't want
to rush into that yet.

- I don't understand, I haven't
been around anyone who has it!

- That you know of,
that's the problem.

- And how would
I have gotten it?

- You flew out of JFK,
anything you touched

could have had germs.

- Okay so, uh, you think
it happened at the airport,

because I was with my mom
and grandma right before.

- You should call them
and tell them to isolate,

in case you got it
before the airport.

- A lot of people are dying
of this, aren't they?

Young and healthy people.

- We're not gonna let you die.

- Look, I wasn't gonna
contradict you in front of her,

cause that would have
just made her more anxious,

but we don't make
promises we can't keep.

- I know, but she's young,
she has no co-morbidities--

- Do not for a second make an
assumption

about what you think
you know or have read

or heard from another doctor,
do you understand?

- Yes.

- Okay. Remind the nurses
that no one goes in there,

and watch her like a hawk.

- I will and, thank you.
- For what?

- You could have brought
attendings on this.

- Don't make me regret it.
- I won't.

- Dr. Heller.

Get a telemetry set up
in pathology and meet me there.

- Okay, um. What for?

- We're gonna jerry rig
a Covid test.

- Gimme ten!

- We could pull
the genetic code from China,

and potentially convert
our influenza PCR,

but we'd need new short
DNA primers and probes.

- That'll take too long,
I'm thinking HIV.

- Oh, could work,

but you'd need a serum sample
from a confirmed case.

- Yeah, I'm having one couriered
here from Washington,

it should be here in an hour.

- Then what are
we waiting for?

-Thank you.

- O2 stats are dropping.

- I can take it from here. Go!

- No, Mom, I don't know,
I don't know.

- Shauna? You're in
respiratory distress,

we're gonna put you
on a ventilator.

- What are they saying
there, baby?

- Here, please. Please!

- Hi, Mrs. Tanner,
I'm Dr. Amy Larsen.

- She's saying you think
she has the corona!

- We don't know
that yet for sure.

You need to stay away from other
people until we figure this out.

- Well, I don't have
any symptoms,

and neither does my mother.

- That's good, but we still
don't know how long

the incubation period is.
Let me call you back, okay?

- Okay, Shauna, I'm gonna
have to intubate you,

which means we're gonna put
this tube down your throat.

But we'll put you to sleep
first,

so you don't feel any pain.

- Just please tell
my mom what to do!

- We will, I promise.

- If that patient needs to be on
a ventilator,

she needs to be in the ICU.
What's going on here?

- I'm not comfortable moving
her, that's what's going on.

- You're not comfortable
because she has CDIF?

- Stay in your lane, Julie!

- You think she has coronavirus

and you're not
telling any of us!

- You're right.
We do think she has it,

but the board doesn't buy it,

and they don't want
anybody to panic.

We sequestered her,
and if all goes well,

we'll be able to test her soon.

Look, I get it, you're scared.
You wanna go home? Fine.

But if you stay,
you need to sit tight,

and think about what's best
for everybody here.

And that means,
you need to trust us,

and keep your mouth shut.

- As soon as you know, I know!
- Of course.

Okay, what's next?

- Add a broad spectrum
of antibiotics

and a bronchodilator,

maybe it'll open up
her airways.

- Yes ma'am.
- And Jake?

The next time
you call me "ma'am"

you're gonna be on scut
work for six months.

- Noted. Thank you.

- I can't believe he's gone!

- When was the last time
you saw him?

- April, in Arizona. You?

- Too long.

And I skipped out on dinner
in the middle of it.

Left him alone with the woman
I was seeing at the time.

- Oh my God, Jake!

- I guess he opened up
to her, though.

I got back to her place
that night,

and she said that he thought
he was a failure as a father.

- Oh, jeez!

- She told me I should tell him
how much I appreciate everything

he did for us,
but I said, He knows.

And I just never got around
to making sure.

Also said I'd visit him,
didn't do that either.

- Who is she, this woman?

- No. Oh my God!

Does Rachel know?
- No, no absolutely not.

And we're not together anymore,

so this needs to stay
in the vault, okay?

- You know, I think you're
the only Jewish dad in America

who's disappointed that
his son became a doctor.

- If hospitals had jerseys,
I may have felt differently.

What an athlete he was!

Three sports,
captain of all of them.

- Oh, this is weird.
- What?

Amy sent me an email.

- What? What is it?

- I don't know,
it's an audio file.

- What, what? Nora?

Nora!

Nora? Nora, what is it?

- I have to go.
- Nora! Honey!

- Just give me the keys,
I'm going home.

- Please, just talk to me!

- I swear to God,
I'll scream and make a scene.

Now give me the keys!

- I need to know
whatever's on there.

- I sent it to you.

- You record
your therapy sessions?

- Uh, sometimes yeah,
what's going on?

- Nora just got an email
from you.

- What? I didn't send
her anything.

- It was one of
your TMS sessions.

You were discussing
some very personal things,

damaging things to me.

- Well, I didn't send her that.

Michael, why would I
send her that?

- You're a maniac!

Guess that means
the b*mb went off?

- Obviously she was hacked.

For all we know,
it could be the whole hospital!

- I'm gonna call IT right now.

When you get home,
change all your passwords.

You ought to lose your license!

- If it came from your email,
it'll be in the Sent folder,

we need to hear it.

I'm still trying
to get my head

around that kiss
in the elevator.

How so?

Well, it was pretty hot.

Especially for someone
who doesn't love me anymore.

- Whoever said that?
- He did, basically.

No, he said he moved
forward because you disappeared.

So, what,
he doesn't really love Nora?

I'm sure he loves her,

and I know he's
really grateful to her

for how she was there to
help him pick up the pieces.

But?

Let's just say,
I was at their wedding,

and he did not look like
a man who was all there.

- Why would somebody
send that to her

from my account?

- They're trying to hurt you.
- By hurting them?

- No, by making you
look unhinged!

- Oh my God!

- What?

- Okay.

That meeting that I
missed with Joan,

the one where I supposedly
replied but didn't remember?

And, that-that medication,

where I gave the wrong dose.

Somebody's coming after me!

- Yes, I wanted to do this,
but not at his father's funeral!

- In for a penny,
in for a pound.

- Hey, I'm so sorry.
I have to go.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah, I'm, I'm just,
I'm not feeling great.

- Oh yeah, of course.
Go take care of yourself.

- I remember some of our
dinner with your father.

- But I thought they said
that wasn't possible?

- Gina says if
it's important enough,

a memory can break through
the medication.

You batted. 398.

And he was really proud
to have you as a son.

Try to hold on to that.

- Yeah.

- Is it just me,

or did that look awfully
intimate between them?

No!

- I just found out,
like 30 minutes ago!

- Well, are you sure?

Because this could be
a massive security breach.

- Is that IT?

- It looks like you were
the only one targeted.

- Well, can they see who did it?

- They're still digging into it!
Yeah, I'm here.

- Worsening crackles.
Wet lungs and wheezing.

- O2 stats are still dropping,
we gotta up the pressure.

- No, if we do that, we could
cause a pneumothorax.

- I just don't understand
why her lungs are so stiff,

they're supposed to be opening.

- Well, there shouldn't be
this much inflammation.

It's like her body
is attacking her lungs.

- If that were true, we'd have
to pull her off the ventilator

and b*mb her
with a corticosteroid.

- Exactly.
- Has anyone tried that?

- No idea.

But, it's not like anyone

is reporting anything
with confidence.

She's clotting now.

This inflammation's everywhere.

- Okay, I think we gotta
call the CDC or the NIH.

- Her CO2 is rising,
there's no time.

Treat the patient
in front of you.

- If we're wrong,
we'll k*ll her.

- Or do you want to go back
to rounding with the interns?

This is what it means
to be a doctor.

- Tell me everything you know.

- They refused to
take her to the ICU,

but they put her
on a ventilator.

Then they take her off the
ventilator, put her on steroids.

Now they've just rushed her down
to the IR procedure room.

All this after telling me
no one but them

should even go into her room.

- So what do you
think's going on?

- I know what's going on,
they think she has coronavirus,

but no one wants to
tell the rest of us.

Advancing
the micro catheter.

- The clot's just passed
the brachial artery.

- Do you want to tell me
what the hell you're doing?

- We took her off
the ventilator,

and her oxygenation improved,
but now she's clotting,

so we're dealing with that.

- You gave a patient
with adenovirus antivirals,

chloroquine, broad spectrum
antibiotics and steroids,

all in six hours when she
came in here with a GI issue!

You drove her to this,
and now she may lose her limbs!

- She doesn't have adenovirus,

she has coronavirus,
and she may die.

So why don't you back off
and let us do our work?

Keep the infusion running,
don't stop for anything.

- If she doesn't
have coronavirus,

I will make sure you
never practice again!

- Okay, we're at the clot,
push TPA.

I can't believe you're
still there. It's so late.

- Yeah, I know,
it's been kind of a crazy day.

- Well, have you asked
for the letter yet?

- Not yet.

- You're not
chickening out on me, are you?

- No, no.

- Allie's got a friend in
Potomac who's a great realtor.

We may even be able to afford
something in Bethesda!

- Yeah, that, that sounds great.
I'm glad you're excited.

- Well then rip off the Band-Aid
and get the recommendation!

- Yeah, I will. Hey listen,
I gotta, I gotta go.

I'll call you
in a little bit, okay?

- Okay.

- Clots are dissipating.
- Okay.

- Her fusion's returning
to her arms,

still waiting on her legs.

- Respiratory status?

- O2 stats are climbing, a bit.

Fine rales in her lungs.

We're really not gonna know
anything until the morning.

What did Dr. Franco say?

- Uh, she's run three tests
so far, all negative.

- There must be an issue
with the substrate!

- Unless we're wrong.

- You have a wife
and kid, right?

- Yeah, daughter.

- Go. I've got this.

- I know you're gonna say
the buck stops here,

but I got you
into this, so I stay.

- I got myself into this the day
I signed up for med school.

But I'm glad you're
gonna see it through.

Why don't you hit
the on-call room?

We can monitor her in shifts.

- Okay.

- But that's the thing,
we took her off the ventilator

and she seemed to rebound.

Then she doesn't
have coronavirus.

- I don't know how
you can say that

when there's so little data.

Well, unless you know
something the CDC and NIH don't.

- Hold on.

- It worked!
She tested positive.

I ran it three times,
your patient has COVID-19.

- Okay.

Shauna's stable, she's breathing
well and her vitals are solid.

And, Dr. Franco figured out
the issue with the substrate,

yielded three independent,
positive tests.

Shauna's quarantined in
the negative pressure room

for at least a week,
but she's turned the corner.

- And we're square
with Dr. Kumara?

- Oh, I'm suddenly getting
all the supplies we need.

- So I missed
all the good stuff!

- It happens
like that sometimes.

But you were there
for the important part.

You did the work.

- Did we actually figure out
something about this thing?

- Agh, unfortunately, I think
we're gonna have a long time

to confirm that.

And New York had
one reported case yesterday,

and today they have 82.

CDC is saying they think
it might be airborne.

- So it's gonna be everywhere.

- So I talked to Dr. Liebling.

At Hopkins.

- Um...

- Letter of recommendation.

- But you wrote this last week.

- I updated it a bit this
morning.

Look, if you're gonna go,
I would go now.

The storm is coming.

- Well listen, whatever happens,
I'm grateful.

You taught me a lot.

- Rounds start in ten minutes.

Be ready to educate people
on what we found.

You know, even though
he only met you that one time,

he really loved you.

- Well, if he's
anything like his son,

I'm sure I loved him.

Jake?

I think we need a reckoning.

- Michael!
- Can I come in?

- Yeah, of course!

- Well, whoever hacked you
used a VPN, and rerouted it,

so it's not traceable.
At least, not yet.

- You realize
that those mistakes

I supposedly made

were the hacker,
trying to make me look bad!

- We'll get into that
tomorrow with Joan.

I'll make sure you get
all your privileges back.

- Great. Thank you!

- Oh God, what a mess!

- Shouldn't you be at home,
trying to fix things with Nora?

- She needed to cool off.

- Mike, what are you doing here?

- Did you listen to the audio?

- Yes. I did.

- What Gina said
about my wedding,

she wasn't wrong.

- Michael.

- Nora called
the house a mausoleum.

- Well, that's an
awful thing to say.

- Maybe it is.

I mean, what is that house
without you and Dani in it?

- Michael, that's not fair!

What am I supposed to
do with that?

- I'm sorry.

You're right.

I don't know what I'm doing.

I guess I'm lost.

- Your wife and son
are waiting for you at home,

you need to find
yourself with them.

- So you were having
an affair with her?

- Are you out of your mind? That
happened after we separated.

- Oh really?
- Yeah!

- Because all I know,
is four years ago,

we were about to
move to Maryland,

and then suddenly you came home
and said we're staying!

- It was Covid,
you know what happened!

- Yeah. You had a change
of heart! About her!

- You're really gonna do this?
Today?

- Well, today
is when I found out.

For some reason,

you decided not to
tell me about her,

all this time!

- Aunt Sara was right,

he would've hated
if we did it here.

Look--

Look at her! She's here for you.

- You know she came at me about
Amy right after you told her.

Thank you very much!
- I didn't have to tell her.

She figured it out.

- Of all days, today,
she came at me.

- She was jealous!
- Right.

- Oh come on, how long are you
gonna keep punishing her, Jake?

- Argh, I'm not punishing her,
she made her own bed.

- You know, most people
aren't as moral as you.

And that's gonna leave
you alone in this life.

People make mistakes.

And if you really love someone,

you're just punishing yourself.

All Dad ever wanted
was for you to be happy.

So, end of day,

whatever that is,

when you find it,

you better hold on to it.

- Nora?

- Charlie!

- Dr. Hansen
just opened the email,

he'll be kicking Amy Larsen
to the curb right about now.

- What is wrong with you?
It was his father's funeral!

- So? I mean, our father
had a funeral,

and barely any of them
showed up. Them's the breaks!

- Okay, this is out of control!

- Nope, it's in control,
our control.

I'm still trying
to get my head around

that kiss in the elevator.

How so?

Well, it was pretty hot.

Especially for someone
who doesn't love me anymore.

Whoever said that?

He did, basically.

No, he said he moved
forward because you disappeared.

So, what,
he doesn't really love Nora?

- Someone is trying
to destroy you.

- Yeah. Who told you?

- I got an audio recording
from your email.

- Of me and Gina talking?

That was taken totally
out of context, we--

- I don't care.

Look...

A part of you is always
gonna love Michael.

Just like a part of me
is always gonna love Rachel.

We share children and a past,

and there's a lot of complicated
crap that's hard to untangle,

but all I care about
in this moment is,

do you want to be with me?

- What about Joan? Our jobs?

- We both know life doesn't
promise us anything. Okay?

So, I don't wanna wait.

Not another day.

Not another minute.

- Not another second.

Hi, my name's Amy Larsen.

- I'm the b*tch that k*lled
Hannah and Charlie's father.

I'm the b*tch that k*lled
Hannah and Charlie's father.

- And if you thought
today was fun,

that was only the beginning.

And if you thought
today was fun,

that was only the beginning.
