Chicago Med: Robin’s room
Connor Rhodes: You look good.
Robin Charles: Stop.
Connor Rhodes: I've just been worried about you. Things are going well?
Robin Charles: No more rats since they put me on the risperidone.
Connor Rhodes: That's... That's good. That's good. So you're feeling better, then?
Robin Charles: Yeah. And I want to get the hell out of here.
Connor Rhodes: Robin, there's something that I have to tell you… The reason why you're in here... I asked your father to check in on you. I had no idea that he would do something like...
Robin Charles: It's not your fault. You couldn't have known he'd do this. It's not all bad. Hey, they let me use the shower. Not without supervision, though. They are worried about suicide in here, so no shoelaces, no belts. See the sink? No faucet. Evidently, if you wrap your gown around your neck just right, you can use it to strangle yourself.
Connor Rhodes: You don't belong in here.
Robin Charles: Not according to the petition Dad filed. Article 6 of the Mental Health and Disabilities Code.
Connor Rhodes: No. I'm serious, Robin. So, you heard rats. So what? This is not the solution.
Robin Charles: What can I do?
Chicago Med: Waiting room
Daniel Charles: Oh, I really appreciate your being here. Support from friends and family is crucial for the therapeutic process, so thank you.
Connor Rhodes: Committed against her will? She can't even shower by herself. That is some therapeutic process.
Daniel Charles: I think we all wish this could've happened differently, but, you know, at least she's getting the care that she needs, and she's safe and secure.
Connor Rhodes: No. She's locked up. In prison. It's not the same thing… This place is what is gonna drive her crazy. She needs to be out of here.
Chicago Med: ER
Will Halstead: Good morning, Nat.
Natalie Manning: Morning.
Connor Rhodes: Hey, Natalie, have you seen Reese?
Natalie Manning: No. Sorry. Hey, how's Robin doing? I've been meaning to ask, but...
Connor Rhodes: I know... It's a delicate situation. She's dealing. Yeah.
Natalie Manning: Well, if you need anything, just please ask.
Connor Rhodes: Thanks. Okay.
Ethan Choi: April, today's match day. Did Noah land here at Med?
April Sexton: Texted him a dozen times. No response. They're only taking one local student, so that makes me think he didn't get it.
Ethan Choi: Or maybe he just wants to tell you in person. No news could be good news, too.
April Sexton: Let's hope. Barboleta branca. It means "white butterfly" in Portuguese.
Ethan Choi: Yeah, that doesn't clear things up.
April Sexton: It's a Brazilian superstition. So, if the first butterfly you see in the year is white, it's good luck. I saw one a few weeks ago.
Ethan Choi: Technically, doesn't that only bring you luck? Wouldn't Noah need to have seen this white...
April Sexton: Seriously? You really want to analyze the cosmic power of an insect sighting?
Ethan Choi: Probably an argument I don't win, huh?
Maggie Lockwood: Dr. Choi, incoming! Peds versus auto. You're going to Baghdad. Courtney?
Courtney: Gary Foster, 32. Tripped, and fell into oncoming traffic and got plowed by a taxi. GCS 15, vitals stable, 16 gauge in the right AC.
Ethan Choi: Loss of consciousness?
Chicago Med: Baghdad
Courtney: Yeah, briefly, but he was talking by the time we got there. Wanted to make sure no one blames the cab driver for what happened.
Gary Foster: It was my fault. I felt myself falling. I just couldn't stop it.
April Sexton: It's okay, Mr. Foster. It was an accident.
Ethan Choi: Let's transfer on my count. One, two, three… Breath sounds clear and present bilaterally.
April Sexton: BP 122/70. Heart rate 112. Sats 100%.
Ethan Choi: Let's roll him off the board slowly. Easy… Okay, okay, okay.
Gary Foster: Good God! That hurts!
Ethan Choi: Okay, Mr. Foster, listen to me close, okay?
Gary Foster: Okay.
Ethan Choi: Can you touch your chin to your chest? Good, good, good. Now left to right. Good. C-spine's clear. We can lose the collar… All right, April, 50 of fentanyl for the pain. Let's get X-rays. Chest, pelvis, left humerus. I also want a CT head, abdomen, and pelvis, and let's get an EKG.
Gary Foster: This is bad, isn't it?
Ethan Choi: Just try to stay calm, Mr. Foster.
Gary Foster: Okay.
April Sexton: It's okay. We're gonna help you.
Chicago Med: cafeteria
Connor Rhodes: Reese, you got a second? Uh, so, I just saw Robin. It seems like her therapy's going well.
Sarah Reese: It is. It is. She is lucid and responding to her medication. Most importantly, she is letting us help her. I wasn't sure she'd be so trusting, considering how this went down.
Connor Rhodes: So, she tells me that you guys are diagnosing this as schizophreniform.
Sarah Reese: Yeah, it's looking like that.
Connor Rhodes: Now, from what I've read, to be able to make that call, the symptoms have to last for at least a month. Is that how long you guys are planning on keeping her?
Sarah Reese: Well, right now, it's all about making sure her psychosis is under control and her meds are dosed appropriately. Anything about... Thank you... Release dates, you really should speak with her attending.
Connor Rhodes: Right. Dr. Kwon. I actually did. He reminded me that patience is a virtue. I'm pretty sure that Dr. Charles put those words in his mouth… Reese, this is all messed up.
Sarah Reese: I'm sorry, Connor, but I don't know what you want me to say.
Connor Rhodes: If Robin had been committed in Indiana, she'd be released already. Same with Michigan. Same with Wisconsin. All of those states have shorter holds.
Sarah Reese: But this is Illinois, and I don't make the laws.
Connor Rhodes: Tell me this couldn't be treated as an outpatient basis.
Sarah Reese: That's not up to me.
Connor Rhodes: Is she or is she not a danger to herself?
Sarah Reese: At this exact moment, no, but it's not that simple.
Connor Rhodes: Yes, it is.
Chicago Med: ER
Maggie Lockwood: Ah, so, what's the word?
Jeff Clarke: I matched my first choice.
Maggie Lockwood: Really?
Jeff Clarke: Emergency medicine.
Maggie Lockwood: That's great! I'm so happy for you!
Stanley Stohl: Really? You got the Med spot? Knew you could do it. I had my eye on you from the get-go.
Maggie Lockwood: Don't worry about Stohl.
Jeff Clarke: I won't.
Maggie Lockwood: Does Natalie know?
Jeff Clarke: Not yet. I was waiting to see where I wound up.
Maggie Lockwood: Hm. Keoni? What did you do?
Keoni: No clue.
Maggie Lockwood: Jeff, with me. We're going to Treatment 2.
Keoni: Doing a DIY reno on a bar. Been tripping over construction supplies all week. Must have twisted my ankle. Didn't notice till it got really bad.
Jeff Clarke: All right, let's take a look.
Chicago Med: Treatment 2
Jeff Clarke: Hop up there. Take a look at this flat tire. These your construction boots?
Keoni: I'm Hawaiian, brah. Slippers are multipurpose.
Jeff Clarke: You got a nail in your foot, dude.
Keoni: You're kidding?
Jeff Clarke: It doesn't hurt?
Keoni: Been barefoot or in slippers since I could walk. Calluses so tough I could walk on hot coals and wouldn't even flinch.
Jeff Clarke: Swing your foot up there for me. Let's get a CBC, a CMP, and a tetanus, and have Danny come down with a portable X-ray machine.
Maggie Lockwood: Okay. You've been living in Chicago 20 years, Keoni. Put on some shoes.
Keoni: And give up the endless summer? Never.
Chicago Med: ER
Doris: Hey, April. Bummer about Noah.
April Sexton: What?
Doris: You didn't hear? Jeff got the Med spot.
April Sexton: Oh. Well, good for him.
Doris: I'm sure Noah matched somewhere great.
Chicago Med: treatment
Kevin: Her stomach's been hurting her for a few days now, but an hour ago, everything just went haywire. She's been screaming in pain. She gets really confused.
Natalie Manning: Abdominal pelvic ultrasound.
Doris: On it.
Natalie Manning: Okay, Allison, can you tell me exactly where it hurts?
Allison Nicholson: I just got braces put on last week.
Kevin: See the confusion? And her eyes... She can't even focus.
Natalie Manning: It's called nystagmus. Is she taking any drugs?
Kevin: No. No, no, no.
Natalie Manning: Has Allison started menstruating?
Kevin: I don't know. Maybe.
Natalie Manning: Is she sexually active? Could she be pregnant?
Kevin: She's only 13! Look, I don't think so. I'm just her stepdad, so...
Janelle Nicholson: Ali, baby! Oh, baby. I'm sorry. I came as fast as I could. Baby, what's happening? I don't understand. She said she was feeling better when I left for work.
Natalie Manning: Not seeing any free fluids, no ovarian abnormalities. All right, let's do a CBC, CMP, chest X-ray, cultures, head CT, tox screen, blood and urine, and a serum pregnancy.
Janelle Nicholson: Wait, pregnancy? What? No. Ali is still a virgin. She hasn't even started talking about boys yet.
Natalie Manning: I understand, but these are standard tests. We just need to run them to be safe, okay?
Janelle Nicholson: Can you just give her something for the pain, please?
Natalie Manning: I'm sorry, but we can't do that until the tests are finished.
Janelle Nicholson: Baby, what's going on, huh?
Allison Nicholson: Keep away from me!
Natalie Manning: We will figure this out, okay?
Kevin: Okay.
Natalie Manning: I'll be back shortly.
Chicago Med: Baghdad
April Sexton: I can grab you some more pillows if you need them.
Gary Foster: If it were only that easy.
Ethan Choi: Mr. Foster, I got your X-rays and scans. There are multiple fractures on your left side. L1 through L4 of your spine, humerus, pelvis, and ribs. Good news is they won't require surgery. They'll heal on their own.
Gary Foster: How long will that take?
Ethan Choi: On average, six to eight weeks. After that, between rehab and physical therapy, likely a year before you're back to full strength.
Gary Foster: A year. Might as well be forever.
Ethan Choi: Now, there is one more injury. The head CT revealed a left-sided subdural hematoma and skull fracture. Our neurosurgeon, Dr. Abrams, wants to schedule surgery immediately.
Gary Foster: What happens if I decline?
Ethan Choi: Mr. Foster, you're bleeding inside your brain. If the pressure within your skull isn't released, it will get worse. It's highly likely you'll die.
Gary Foster: I'm already dying. I have ALS. It's progressing rapidly. That's why I fell. By the time my bones heal, the disease will be ravaging me.
April Sexton: Yeah, but you'll be alive.
Gary Foster: Barely. Confined to a wheelchair, hooked up to a ventilator. No. I don't want that. No surgery.
Chicago Med: ER
April Sexton: I mean, there shouldn't even be a debate. We can save Mr. Foster's life.
Sharon Goodwin: I understand, April, but unfortunately, that's not the issue.
Ethan Choi: His hematoma's worsening. He's gonna bleed to death. At this rate, he's got a couple weeks at best... We have to act.
Sharon Goodwin: We can't. I've studied Mr. Foster's advanced directives... So has the hospital's legal council. It's ironclad.
April Sexton: So, that just makes it okay to do nothing?
Sharon Goodwin: April, part of Mr. Foster's directive instructs that upon death, his organs and tissues be donated.
Stanley Stohl: Clearly this isn't a rash decision, so what's the discussion?
Ethan Choi: That we have to sit by and watch a man die when we can easily extend his life.
April Sexton: It's wrong.
Sharon Goodwin: Yeah, well, we may not agree with his decision, but it is his choice to make.
Stanley Stohl: Transfer the patient to the ICU.
Peter Kalmick: Sharon, I need a minute.
Sharon Goodwin: Yes.
Will Halstead: Hey, update me on Allison?
Natalie Manning: White count's moderately elevated, but her fever's rising, and she's disinhibited with a decreased level of consciousness.
Will Halstead: Drug overdose?
Natalie Manning: Tox screen was negative, as was every other test... Pregnancy, urinalysis, chest X-ray, CT, pelvic ultrasound.
Will Halstead: Neurologic infection? Meningitis? Encephalitis? You get an LP?
Natalie Manning: Just did. CSF was clear. Whatever this is, it's viral. The lab's running a PCR.
Will Halstead: Okay. Keep me posted.
Natalie Manning: Mm-hmm. Hey. Doris told me you matched in Emergency Medicine. That's awesome.
Will Halstead: Way to go, Clarke. Good to have you.
Jeff Clarke: Thanks. Hey, um, there is something that I've been meaning to talk...
Will Halstead: Natalie!
Natalie Manning: She's seizing.
Chicago Med: treatment
Janelle Nicholson: Oh, my God, make it stop!
Will Halstead: Two of ativan.
Doris: Got it. Sats are dropping. 77. 76.
Will Halstead: Allison, can you feel this?
Natalie Manning: I need to intubate… No drugs. Her jaw is loose.
Kevin: We're gonna fix this.
Natalie Manning: Okay, almost. Yeah.
Janelle Nicholson: No, no, no, no, no... You're gonna choke her!
Will Halstead: She won't be able to breathe otherwise.
Natalie Manning: I'm in.
Kevin: Okay. I got it. I got it.
Natalie Manning: Secure the tube and start bagging. Stat chest X-ray and call up to the pediatric ICU for a bed.
Janelle Nicholson: Wait, ICU? What's going on with her?
Chicago Med: Treatment 2
Jeff Clarke: Hey, man. I got your labs.
Keoni: Good news only, please.
Jeff Clarke: Can I sit?
Keoni: Uh-oh.
Jeff Clarke: Everything's normal except your blood glucose. It's extremely high.
Keoni: Diabetes.
Jeff Clarke: Yes. I'm gonna start you on IV fluids and insulin and order hemoglobin A1C, get a better reading on your sugar levels.
Keoni: Diabetes can make your feet numb. That's why I didn't realize I had a nail in my foot, isn't it?
Jeff Clarke: Yeah.
Keoni: I've been sick for a while.
Jeff Clarke: Look. The important thing: we caught it. Some lifestyle adjustments, and you'll get way out ahead of this thing.
Keoni: Yeah, sure.
Jeff Clarke: Look, I get it. Change isn't easy, but in the long run, it's the only way… I'm gonna page Endocrinology, have them come down for a consult. They should be able to answer all your questions.
Chicago Med: PICU
Natalie Manning: Hey.
Will Halstead: Allison's LP results. Encephalitis.
Natalie Manning: Oh, my God. HSE?
Will Halstead: Yeah. Fever, neuro issues, seizures, now the coma... Virus fits the symptoms.
Natalie Manning: Yeah. I just didn't see it coming. I mean, she's 13. Herpes?
Chicago Med: Baghdad
Frank: April!
April Sexton: BP's falling. 94/66. Heart's racing. Pulse is 120.
Ethan Choi: All right, lungs are wet. Sats?
April Sexton: Can't get a reading.
Ethan Choi: Fingers are swollen, purple. Pulse ox monitor can't register. Get a blood gas… Toes are purple. Earlobes, too. Blood in the eyes, nasal passage.
Gary Foster: What's happening?
Ethan Choi: Your circulation's being cut off... oxygen's not moving well through your body.
Gary Foster: Why?
Ethan Choi: I'm not sure.
April Sexton: PCO 256, PAO 255.
Ethan Choi: All right, let's increase the oxygen to 10 liters… April?
Frank: Is he still being transferred to the ICU?
Ethan Choi: Hold off for now.
Chicago Med: ER
Ethan Choi: Let's test for DIC. If that's what we're seeing, I think there may be a way to convince Gary to fix his brain bleed.
Chicago Med: briefing room
Daniel Charles: Oh, hey, were you looking for me?
Sharon Goodwin: Please join us, Dr. Charles… This is Nicole Jansen of Shipley...
Nicole Jansen: Shipley Austin & Shea. I'm representing the interests of Robin Charles.
Daniel Charles: Lawyers?
Nicole Jansen: I'm hoping you can provide some clarity on the circumstances surrounding Ms. Charles's involuntary hold.
Daniel Charles: I don't see how it's not clear. A petition was filed in accordance with state law.
Sharon Goodwin: And within 24 hours, Dr. Kwon here signed...
Nicole Jansen: I will get to Dr. Kwon. First, I want to talk about the filing of the original petition by Dr. Charles, the hospital's Chief of Psychiatry, but also my client's father. Interesting.
Chicago Med: PICU, briefing room
Will Halstead: Allison has HSV type 2, which is more commonly associated with genital herpes than oral.
Janelle Nicholson: Genital? No. Ali doesn't do that. And when? Where? She's either at school or at home with one of us... Right, Kevin?
Kevin: Yeah, look, I work from home. Nothing's going on at the house. Okay, no boys come over, ever.
Janelle Nicholson: I know girls don't tell their mothers everything... God knows I didn't, but... But Ali and me... We talk.
Natalie Manning: Have you noticed any change in Allison's mood or personality in the last few days?
Janelle Nicholson: No. Besides being sick, she's been her usual happy self. Why?
Will Halstead: Allison's abdominal pain is inconsistent with the HSE diagnosis, and it may be a sign of sexual assault.
Natalie Manning: We'd like to perform a more extensive pelvic exam just to be sure.
Kevin: Is that really necessary? I mean, come on, it's not gonna have any effect on how you treat her, is it?
Will Halstead: There might be some internal damaging and bleeding that needs to be repaired, and it is possible she may have contracted another STD.
Kevin: Look, can it just wait? Can it wait until we... Just have a moment to figure out...
Janelle Nicholson: It's okay. It's okay. You can... You can perform the exam.
Kevin: Are you sure?
Janelle Nicholson: Yeah. Um, if this is that, I need to kn... I'm sorry.
Kevin: Babe. Baby...
Natalie Manning: We'll get started right away.
Chicago Med: briefing room
David Kwon: I'll start Robin's discharge paperwork.
Sharon Goodwin: Thank you.
Daniel Charles: Hmm. Little heads-up, you know, would've been nice.
Sharon Goodwin: I found out just before you did.
Daniel Charles: I mean, come on. Rhodes's name's on the building, so he gets to decide who's fit to be released? Is this a joke? Sharon, it's Robin! I thought that you guys would at least go to the wall for Robin.
Sharon Goodwin: Daniel, if we don't make a deal in this room, the next place we'll meet will be in front of a judge with Robin and a team of doctors that they've assembled to challenge our every move. That's not good for anyone, especially for you.
Daniel Charles: Okay, well, then, I appreciate you looking out for me.
Sharon Goodwin: Daniel. Daniel, come on.
Chicago Med: hallway
Connor Rhodes: Thank you very much.
Nicole Jansen: Absolutely.
Sarah Reese: Dr. Charles, don't. It'll just start...
Daniel Charles: Not now, not now. Hey, Connor. Connor. I'm just curious. So, you're the one who's gonna be taking care of Robin now?
Connor Rhodes: Yeah.
Daniel Charles: I mean, you're a surgical fellow, buddy. You work in 36-hour shifts.
Connor Rhodes: Uh-huh, so I'll adjust my schedule and we'll make it work.
Daniel Charles: But what happens next time she has a psychotic break? I mean, even if you're home, you're not equipped to deal with it.
Connor Rhodes: Every second that she spends in that ward, her resentment towards you grows. Can't you see that I'm trying to do you a favour?
Daniel Charles: Don't do me any favours! Don't!
Connor Rhodes: Oh, look, I came to you out of concern for Robin, not panic! And you escalated things!
Daniel Charles: You don't have a clue what you are dealing with. Is this some kind of game to you where you get to be the hero? Is that what it is?
Connor Rhodes: No, this is not a game. You made a mess, and I'm fixing it.
Daniel Charles: Right. By bringing in Daddy's big guns. Well done.
Connor Rhodes: She is not a little girl anymore. Okay? You can't make up for your own failings as a father by treating her like one now! Give it up.
Chicago Med: PICU, hallway
Natalie Manning: Allison's pelvic exam yielded evidence of vaginal trauma: perforated hymen, mucosal tears, severe edema, swelling... All clear evidence of sexual assault.
Sharon Goodwin: Timeline?
Will Halstead: The status of the bruising indicates the trauma took place about five to seven days ago, consistent with the incubation period of the encephalitis.
Sharon Goodwin: Poor baby. All right, I'll activate the rape protocols and notify PD. This case is now a crime.
Natalie Manning: Okay. We'll talk to the parents about what comes next.
Sharon Goodwin: All right.
Will Halstead: Thanks, Ms. Goodwin.
Sharon Goodwin: Mm-hmm.
Chicago Med: ER
Maggie Lockwood: Where are you going
Keoni: Gonna go get some fresh air.
Maggie Lockwood: With your clothes over your arm? I've seen too many people skip out after getting bad news… It never ends well.
Keoni: What does it matter if I stay or if I go? The results are the same.
Maggie Lockwood: I doubt that.
Keoni: Move.
Maggie Lockwood: No chance… So, where does that leave us?
Keoni: I'm scared.
Maggie Lockwood: It's okay… Come on back. I know someone you should talk to.
Keoni: A shrink?
Maggie Lockwood: Something like that.
Chicago Med: PICU
Janelle Nicholson: The trauma nurse won't let me be in there with her.
Natalie Manning: It's protocol, just while they're collecting evidence. It won't be long, though.
Kevin: I'm gonna go get a cup of coffee. You want one?
Janelle Nicholson: No… Wait, wait. Can I ask you... Can I ask you something, Dr. Manning?
Natalie Manning: Of course.
Janelle Nicholson: Could you be having unprotected sex regularly with someone with herpes and not catch it? Not even... Not even be aware that they have it?
Natalie Manning: Yes.
Janelle Nicholson: I don't want to believe it could be true, but the only person who was alone with Ali in the past week was Kevin… I can't think of anyone else it might've been.
Melissa: Ms. Nicholson, you can be with your daughter now.
Janelle Nicholson: Thank you… I'm just being paranoid, right?
Jay Halstead: I suppose I can't talk to the girl for some time, right?
Natalie Manning: No. Um, the mom thinks the stepdad might've done it.
Jay Halstead: Wouldn't surprise me. That's where I was gonna start.
Natalie Manning: Seriously, Jay, I don't know how you go to work and do this every day.
Jay Halstead: I could say the same thing for you… I got to take this.
Chicago Med: Baghdad
Gary Foster: My feet are cold.
April Sexton: I'll get you some more blankets.
Gary Foster: Everything hurts.
Ethan Choi: It's from Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, DIC. Clots are forming inside your vessels, blocking blood flow and depriving you of oxygen. Your organs are failing… Unfortunately, in this condition, they're not suitable for transplant.
Gary Foster: Wait, wait, wait, wait. I won't be able to donate?
Ethan Choi: No.
Gary Foster: There's got to be something you can do.
Ethan Choi: Mr. Foster, if you allow us to operate on the hematoma, that puts us in a better position to treat the DIC.
Gary Foster: No. Then we're back to where we started. I'm laying here with broken bones that won't heal before I'm locked up on life support. Listen, you can't let my organs die before I do. Please.
Ethan Choi: There is a fix for the DIC. Heparin. It's a drug that prevents the clots from getting larger.
April Sexton: Mr. Foster, heparin is a blood thinner, which means it will also significantly worsen the bleeding in your brain. Instead of weeks to live, you'll have only hours.
Gary Foster: Weeks weren't much, but... That gave me time to say good-byes. Hours, though.
Ethan Choi: Mr. Foster, if we're gonna start the heparin...
Gary Foster: The sooner, the better.
Ethan Choi: Yeah.
April Sexton: You don't have to do this. You can change your mind.
Ethan Choi: What would you like to do?
Gary Foster: Give me the heparin.
Ethan Choi: Gary, are you sure?
Gary Foster: Yes.
Ethan Choi: Okay. Excuse us. April!
Chicago Med: ER
April Sexton: We cannot do this, Ethan.
Ethan Choi: He was clear in his decision.
April Sexton: Because you pressured him, made him feel he had to choose right now.
Ethan Choi: No. I gave him his medical options, and he decided on what was best for him. Don't put this on me.
April Sexton: It is on you. Your hands may have been tied by his advance directive, but giving him heparin knowing it's lethal, that's assisted suicide.
Ethan Choi: April, we can't save Gary, but one organ donor can save up to eight lives. One tissue donor can improve the lives of up to 50 others. Because of him, 58 people get a second chance… Put in the order for heparin.
April Sexton: No.
Ethan Choi: Then I'll do it myself.
Chicago Med: Robin’s room
Kayla: This is everything you had when you were admitted.
Robin Charles: Thank you… You can't hold me here any longer.
Daniel Charles: I know. Look...
Robin Charles: Whatever you have to say, I don't want to hear it.
Daniel Charles: I just want you to be safe, Robin.
Robin Charles: I'm going to be… With Connor.
Chicago Med: ER
Noah Sexton: What is up, family? Matched at Chicago Med! Emergency Medicine, baby! Let's get it! April, we did it!
April Sexton: What? I don't understand. I thought Jeff got the match.
Noah Sexton: What? No, no, no. It's official. Only one local spot at Med, and it's all mine!
April Sexton: Aah!
Noah Sexton: I'm home!
Stanley Stohl: I knew you'd do it. Had my eye on you from the get-go.
Natalie Manning: Hey, what's going on?
Jeff Clarke: I matched in Honolulu. Chicago Med wasn't even on my list.
Will Halstead: Good luck, Clarke.
Jeff Clarke: Thanks.
Natalie Manning: I just assumed... I mean, you must have known about this for a while now.
Jeff Clarke: Yeah.
Natalie Manning: Why didn't you say anything?
Jeff Clarke: I don't know. I just felt like it was time to move on.
Natalie Manning: Okay.
Jay Halstead: Hey, Nat? Sorry, Jeff. I need her. Will, can I grab you for a second?
Natalie Manning: Let's talk later?
Jeff Clarke: Yeah.
Chicago Med: doctor lounge
Jay Halstead: I spoke to the parents together and independently.
Natalie Manning: And?
Jay Halstead: I don't like the stepdad for the guy... He offered to give a polygraph and submit his DNA. Offenders don't usually behave that way.
Will Halstead: Any other leads?
Jay Halstead: Allison's comprehensive tox screen detected trace amounts of triazolam in her blood. That's a benzo, right?
Natalie Manning: Yeah. A sedative hypnotic with amnestic properties.
Jay Halstead: The stepdad's an accountant. I don't see him getting his hands on that.
Natalie Manning: Unless maybe he was prescribed it. I mean, it is sometimes used for insomnia.
Will Halstead: Yeah, it definitely puts you out. The hospital uses it mostly to treat patient anxiety, usually before procedures, MRI scans, things like that.
Jay Halstead: So, she could've gotten it here. Did you give it to her before the CT scan?
Will Halstead: No.
Natalie Manning: No.
Jay Halstead: Another doctor then, maybe. Did the mom mention any other recent medical issues?
Natalie Manning: No. Nothing other than the symptoms that brought her in today… Braces. Allison did just get her braces on.
Will Halstead: Dentists also sometimes use triazolam.
Chicago Med: Baghdad
Maggie Lockwood: After you pass, you'll immediately be taken into the OR where your organs and tissues will be recovered.
Gary Foster: When that happens, will it hurt?
Maggie Lockwood: No. The bleeding in your brain will starve it of oxygen. You'll lose consciousness, and then you'll shut down.
Gary Foster: I'll be dead.
Maggie Lockwood: Your brain will be. But your body will still be alive. But you won't be able to control your breathing. The organs still need oxygen, though, so we need...
Gary Foster: You want to adjust my advance directive.
Maggie Lockwood: Just the DNI. We need your consent to intubate you once you lose consciousness to protect the organs until you get into the OR. Do we have your permission?
Gary Foster: Yes. Mm-hmm.
Maggie Lockwood: Okay… Right there.
Gary Foster: You think I'm making a mistake.
April Sexton: Earlier this year, I suffered a miscarriage. My child never got a chance at life. I would give anything just... For one moment. You may not have as much time as others, but you still have some.
Gary Foster: I'm sorry for your loss. But my time is over. The only positive is my death can help other people. I know... It looks like I'm giving up, but this is everything I've been living for… This is it.
Ethan Choi: Yeah.
Gary Foster: Okay. I'm ready.
April Sexton: Hanging meds is a nurse's responsibility. I will do it.
Chicago Med: treatment 2
Sharon Goodwin: Making a break for it, Keoni? Really?
Keoni: Seemed like a good idea at the time. Figured Maggie was sending over a shrink.
Sharon Goodwin: Oh, no. You get me.
Keoni: I appreciate the red carpet, but there's nothing you can do. In the back of my mind, I knew it was diabetes. I should've never come to the hospital.
Sharon Goodwin: Because what? Denial is a good solution?
Keoni: You don't understand, Sharon. My family... Diabetes kills. Now it's my turn.
Sharon Goodwin: Your genetics don't doom you, Keoni.
Keoni: No? I eat healthy. I don't drink the coladas or the daiquiris that I make at the bar. I exercise. Yet here I am. I did what I was supposed to do.
Sharon Goodwin: Yeah, and unfortunately, people like you and I have to do that and more to break the cycle. Yes, I have diabetes too… And I've lost family also.
Keoni: I didn't know.
Sharon Goodwin: Many don't. And it's not because I'm hiding it, but because I've got it under control, and I have for the last 14 years. There are people in this hospital who have to surrender. You have an opportunity… You better take it.
Chicago Med: Psych, hallway
Sarah Reese: It's gonna be okay.
Daniel Charles: Oh, Dr. Reese? If, um... If you would like to continue your residency under a different attending, I would completely understand.
Chicago Med: ER
Jeff Clarke: Hey, Keoni. Wanted to say good-bye. You good?
Keoni: Work in progress, but I'll get there. Heard you're taking off for the sunshine.
Jeff Clarke: Oahu. You're my last patient.
Keoni: A native Hawaiian. Must be fate.
Jeff Clarke: You might be right. Uh, Ms. Goodwin wanted you to have your nail.
Keoni: You know what? I don't need it. He ho'omaka hou 'ana. "A new beginning."
Jeff Clarke: You and me both.
Natalie Manning: Yeah, we'll just have to wait.
Connor’s apartment: living room
Robin Charles: Ohh, this view. Oh, how I've missed this view. Or just a view.
Connor Rhodes: So, dinner. The pantry is... Not really stocked.
Robin Charles: We could go out… Or order in.
Connor Rhodes: It's probably for the best. Just for tonight.
Robin Charles: Look, I know you went out on a limb, so thank you. I'm just so happy to be out of there.
Connor Rhodes: Come here.
Chicago Med: Allison Nicholson’s room
Janelle Nicholson: Doctor? Doctor?
Will Halstead: What is it?
Janelle Nicholson: She's awake.
Will Halstead: Breathing trial looks good.
Natalie Manning: I'm gonna take this tube out, okay, Allison? All right. Ready? It's okay. Breathe, and there you go. Okay.
Allison Nicholson: Where am I?
Janelle Nicholson: You got sick, honey. We had to take you to the hospital.
Allison Nicholson: How long am I gonna be here? I don't want to miss the school dance.
Janelle Nicholson: Oh, sweetie… Hi, baby.
Chicago Med: PICU, hallway
Janelle Nicholson: The orthodontist? I was in the waiting room the whole time just checking my emails. When she came out, she smiled, showed me her braces, didn't seem any different.
Will Halstead: The police suspect instead of nitrous he used triazolam. It knocked her out, ensured she had no memory of the assault.
Kevin: Sick bastard.
Natalie Manning: I know this is a lot to process, but once Allison is stronger, the detective would like to come in and ask her a few questions.
Janelle Nicholson: Look, Ali just had a brush with death, and all she cares about is if she can still go to the junior high dance. She's so innocent. I don't want to take that from her. One day we'll have to, but not today.
Natalie Manning: We understand. We'll be back in the morning to check on her.
Will Halstead: Good night.
Chicago Med: Doctor lounge
Natalie Manning: Jeff's locker's cleared out, and he left.
Maggie Lockwood: Yeah, about an hour ago.
Natalie Manning: Did you know? That he wanted to move on from Med?
Maggie Lockwood: Yes. But I didn't know that you didn't… He left without even saying good-bye? That's not cool.
Natalie Manning: No. It was the right play. The conversation about why wouldn't have done either of us any good.
Maggie Lockwood: Slips out in the night, and still somehow he makes it chivalrous.
Natalie Manning: I'm happy for Jeff. Fresh start.
Maggie Lockwood: Yeah. Dr. Halstead.
Will Halstead: Night, Maggie. Nina and I are gonna meet Jay at Molly's. You want to join?
Natalie Manning: Eh.
Will Halstead: Put this day behind us? Yeah. That sounds great.
Natalie Manning: Uh, I just... I have to do something first, so I'll meet you guys there.
Will Halstead: Okay.
Chicago Med: roof
Ethan Choi: Gary's organ recovery went well. A lot of lives are being saved tonight.
April Sexton: Just wish it felt more like a win. So much for white butterflies.
Ethan Choi: I think we make our own luck anyway.
April Sexton: I should get back to the ED.
Ethan Choi: Yeah. Yeah. I'll... I'll see you tomorrow.
Molly’s
Jay Halstead: So, then the guy says, "If we would've done it my way, we could've walked out of here."
Nina Shore: Oh, that's really horrible, Jay.
Will Halstead: Who told you that one?
Jay Halstead: Dad.
Will Halstead: I should've known.
Jay Halstead: Come on.
Will Halstead: Of course.
Jay Halstead: He's disgusting.
Will Halstead: Whoa.
Natalie Manning: Hey.
Will Halstead: Wow. Big change.
Natalie Manning: Yeah. I, um, felt like I needed something new.
Nina Shore: Looks really nice.
Natalie Manning: Thank you.
Jay Halstead: Yeah, it looks great. I like it.
Natalie Manning: Thanks. I'm glad.
Will Halstead: Well, we all like it. What are you having to drink?
Natalie Manning: Oh, I will, um... I'll take a beer.
Jay Halstead: Four shots of tequila. Got it.
Nina Shore: Yes, please. Mm-hmm.
