Here, look at this. Come on, it'll make you feel better.
[looks into microscope] What is it?
Molluscum contagiosum. It's a type of pox virus. It's a nasty one, actually. Even so, stunning, right? Like 10 pounds of raspberry rock candy pressed into a 5-pound bag.
[notices Dr. Reese looking at her] What are you thinking?
Anxiety is a powerful emotion. Would you say that you feel more nervous about the situation or fearful of the future?
I-I don't know. Both, I guess.
How have you been sleeping? Waking up at night? Earlier than you'd like? [April and Maggie look at each other and start giggling] What?
Oh, my God. You're shrinking me. [to Maggie, amused] Three weeks in psych, and she's Freud.
[about his patient] 15 years, homeless, essentially blind. I mean, that's a crap hand. He should be pissed. Yet, he's happy as can be. Crazy I got this patient today.
My experience, we get the patients we need.
You've created a monster, you know that? Turns out the English language is primarily comprised of buzzwords for borderline personality disorders. And now that I know them, I can't have a conversation without immediately seeing the psych in people, which is clearly an impulsive reaction, which, by the way, could also suggest a borderline personality disorder. I mean, I... I... I can't even not analyze myself. And now I'm using double negatives.
You're a first year psych resident. Compulsive diagnosing is par for the course. My first year, I was convinced that a friend of mine had dissociative identity disorder because suddenly he would only listen to Euro-Disco. Really. My advice? Think less, listen more. You'll be just fine.
I miss my brother, is that so horrible?
He's gone!
Not completely! Not to me! I know I hurt you, but I'm not going to lose you. If I have to drag you kicking and screaming into the CT scanner, that's what's going to happen.
Do you think it's weird?
What, you hooking up with your late husband's best friend?
Not "hooking up".
Whatever you want to call it. You're asking me if it's weird.
Yeah.
Ehh, a little.
[Natalie sighs]
Don't stress out about it. I learned a long time ago that you have to do what makes you happy, even if some people think it's strange.
[Reese wheels him into the hospital in a wheelchair] Actually, totally my fault. Overdid it on the PT; had to do that last leg lift, and this is my reward [hearing Reese yawn] Am I boring you, Doctor?
Oh, no, sorry. I stayed up all night attacking the library, got all the way to Bowlby.
Bowlby? Great stuff.
Mm-hmm.
Made Charles Dickens the fascination of an entire generation of shrinks.
Bowlby said that Darwin had a panic disorder.
Oh, yes, ma'am. Charlie had a dark side. Wait 'till you get to Barloon and Noyes.
Dr. Charles, Dr. Reese. Thanks for coming down.
What's up, Ethan? What do you got?
Amanda Kendrick-Dobbs. Seven months pregnant, gravid belly, history of fetal movement and Braxton Hicks contractions; all signs of a normal pregnancy.
So what's the issue?
[handing over a tablet] There's no baby.
Rapid strep and mono were negative, LP normal. I'm afraid it's something exotic, but we won't have the cultures back for another couple of days. And now with the bronchospasm...
Yeah, it could be almost anything.
Exactly. I gotta confess, I am at a complete loss.
[looking at some paperwork] Oh. Well, whenever I find myself in the weeds, I go back to something one of my clinical attendings used to say: the answer is always in the history.
That's your pearl of wisdom? We can't get a history. We're lost in a maze.
Then retrace your steps. Every decision you made, each path you took or didn't take. Examine it all.
So, how you two doing?
What?
You and Jeff.
What are you talking about?
Natalie, everyone knows. It's good. It's... you know, you seem a lot happier lately. It's nice.
Okay, but when you say everybody, wh...
ED staff, ambulance drivers, EMTs.
Huh.
You know, the crazy guy out front who thinks he's Jesus.
Okay, so about the same people who know about you and Nina.
Wait, seriously?
You were right. There is something going on with Danny.
Oh. Tell me.
He told me he's addicted to heroin. Uh, he started going through withdrawal, he's stable now, on methadone and Ativan, and I... I know detox is a long road, but maybe we can help.
Could work. Let's see what we got.
[after talking to their patient and his mother] I don't know what happened. He's totally different.
Well, it's gonna be a little tense with mom in there, right?
But it's like a switch was flipped. He wouldn't even look me in the eye.
Something is a little off. What... how long 'till he's discharged?
Well, his obstruction's cleared, and now that we know it was caused by the heroin, there's no reason to keep him once his IV's done.
Let's ask Dr. Choi to order a lactic level and an iron panel.
Why would we want those?
Buy us a little time. We got to separate 'em, and see if we can find out what's what.
[looking at a patient's x-ray] Straight edges, opaque. It looks man-made, like there was something under Danny on the table.
No, this is definitely inside of him. I could be wrong, but I think this might be a tracking device.
A what?
A transponder. Emits a homing signal. Would explain how that woman found him.
You mean his mom?
Yeah, is she, though? I mean, think about it; the guarded behavior, heroin abuse.
Wait, you think he's a drug mule?
Resistance to examination by male doctors suggesting a history of abuse by other men. I've seen this before. I think that Danny might be a victim of sex trafficking.
Sex trafficking? So that woman...
Is his pimp.
We can't just let her take him.
He is not a minor, so we have no right to intercede unless he explicitly asks us to.
But he wanted me to find the chip. He wanted me to know.
Well, what did he say? What exactly did he say?
He didn't... he didn't say anything, but he was...
See, Sarah, it's not enough. Crazy as it sounds, we need to know that he's psychologically ready to be extricated. We do this the wrong way, we call the police, could be very, very bad for him. It's why we need to hear it from is own lips. Trust me.
Then I need to talk to him.
Danny said he'd get back in touch.
When he does, you should refer him to the psych clinic.
Well, he won't go. He's afraid to come into the hospital or any clinic. He's afraid the traffickers will find out and he only wants to see me outside.
Bad idea.
Well, Dr. Charles, he's suicidal.
So, let me get this straight. You are gonna give him psychotherapy in the parking lot once a week? Dr. Reese, this patient - any patient - has got to be treated in the proper clinical setting.
He feels a connection to me.
Let me ask you something. You feel like you're the only one who can help him? Only one who understands him?
No. No, it's just...
Just what?
I care about him.
Cut it off. You're too involved.
But I... I... I don't understand.
What happens if you don't get the rosy outcome you're looking for?
I think I can deal with that.
No. Crucial part of my job is protecting my staff. You are headed down a dangerous path. Step away. We clear?
[Reese slowly, but sadly, nods]
Good.
