SGStan Gallagher

So a kid got beat up. What does he need a psychiatrist for?

Well, Elliot was caught peeping on girls in the shower at school.

DGDebbie Gallagher

Oh, my god.

SGStan Gallagher

Wait 'till I get him home.

But much more troubling are some violent impulses that, so far, he hasn't acted upon.

And there is something we can do.

Elliot wants us to give him a medication that would turn off his testosterone. This would significantly decrease his sex drive and make it much easier for him to control these impulses, but we do need your permission to do it.

SGStan Gallagher

"Turn off his testosterone"? What exactly are you talking about?

The medical term is chemical castration.

DGDebbie Gallagher

What?

It's completely reversible. The idea would be to combine it with traditional therapy with the hope of ultimately weaning him off the medication.

SGStan Gallagher

No. No way.

Elliot could very well be on the verge of acting out on some very disturbing impulses, including rape.

DGDebbie Gallagher

He would never do anything like that.

SGStan Gallagher

You people are sick.

Again, this was your son's idea.

Elliot is torn up about this. He's scared he may not be able to stop himself.

Don't worry, Mr. Halstead. We're gonna get that mitral valve fixed.

Damn. The kid was right. Not so much a kid anymore, is he?

Did you know he put himself through college? I told him... told him it was a waste of time and damned if I was gonna pay for it.

Well, I'm sure you're very proud of him.

That doesn't even begin to say it. He made something of his life. He's a better man than I am.

I don't think he feels that way, sir. And I'm sure that he wouldn't want you to, either.

Sure you don't want me to wait with you?

Connor, I'm fine.

No, I'm not saying that you're not. I just know that waiting rooms can be awfully boring. You know, all those old issues of "People" magazine.

Anyone gets a little anxiety, they get a massage. Daughter of a psychiatrist, full-blown psych eval.

[cupping her face] Look, we both know that you haven't exactly been yourself lately. So let's just do this right. We'll get you back on your feet, okay?

Dr. Kwon just told me Robin's coming in to be evaluated. I'm so sorry to hear that.

Yeah, thanks. Just, um, I'm hoping for the best.

He chose me as the resident to do her initial evaluation.

Yeah, he said you spoke very highly of me. Thank you.

Well, I didn't tell him anything that wasn't true.

I imagine it must be hard to have to stay at arm's length from your daughter's treatment, but - and this goes without saying, but I just want to say it anyway - Dr. Kwon and I will do everything we can to make sure Robin gets the best possible care.

Dr. Reese, I have complete confidence in you. And there's anything I can do to help, you just let me know.

I will.

How dare you admit Robin behind my back? She is my patient. You didn't examine her. You didn't treat her.

You didn't see her apartment.

I don't care what you saw! You should've come to me first.

I didn't have time, Dr. Reese. She was leaving the hospital.

Yes, because I gave her the night to think about it. I know she needs to be admitted!

I thought... I thought that she was masking it from you.

No! We were making progress. I was trying to get her to admit herself voluntarily. To take ownership of the idea so she'd be in the best state of mind to accept treatment. I needed to earn her trust for that, and now that chance is gone. You had to run around sticking your nose in everything instead of letting me do my job.

Mr. Walker didn't die of an MI.

[reading the autopsy report] Massive pulmonary embolism.

I can't believe it. I totally missed it.

Oh, come on. Even if we knew, there's nothing we could have done differently. It happened so fast. We didn't have time to get heparin on board, let alone send him upstairs.

No, I know, but still... I... I...

Wait. How did you get this so fast? These reports usually take at least three to four hours.

Nina brought it up to me.

She came upstairs and gave it to you?

Yeah. You know, I... I... I'm gonna go back over the chart. See if there were some clues.

Nat, listen. You did everything you could for that man, so don't get down on yourself over it. Hey, you're too good a doctor.

[about his daughter Robin] I really appreciate your being here. Support from friends and family is crucial for the therapeutic process, so thank you.

Committed against her will? She can't even shower by herself. That is some theraputic process.

Oh, 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.

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.

We cannot do this, Ethan.

He was clear in his decision.

Because you pressured him, made him feel like he had to choose right now.

No, I gave him his medical options, and he decided on what was best for him. Don't put this on me.

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.

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 fifty others. Because of him, fifty-eight people get a second chance. Put in the order for heparin.

Then I'll do it myself.

I spoke to the parents together and independently.

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.

Any other leads?

Allison's comprehensive tox screen detected trace amounts of triazolam in her blood. That's a benzo, right?

Yeah. A sedative hypnotic with amnestic properties.

The stepdad's an accountant. I don't see him getting his hands on that.

Unless maybe he was prescribed it. I mean, it is sometimes used for insomnia.

Yeah, it definitely puts you out. The hospital uses it mostly to treat patient anxiety, usually before procedures, MRIs scans, things like that.

So she could have gotten it here. Did you give it her before the CT scan?

[checking his tablet] No.

Another doctor then, maybe. Did the mom mention any other recent medical issues?

No, nothing. Other than the symptoms that brought her in today. [remembering something] Braces. Allison did just get her braces on.

Dentists also sometimes use triazolam.

Making a break for it, Keoni? Really?

KKeoni

Seemed like a good idea at the time. Figured Maggie was sending over a shrink.

Oh, no. You get me.

KKeoni

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.

Because what, denial is a good solution?

KKeoni

You don't understand, Sharon. My family, diabetes kills. Now it's my turn.

Your genetics don't doom you, Keoni.

KKeoni

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.

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.

KKeoni

I didn't know.

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 fourteen years. There are people in this hospital who have to surrender. You have an opportunity. [handing him a pamphlet] You better take it.

JNJanelle Nicholson

The orthodontist? I was in the waiting room the whole time just checking my e-mails. When she came out, she smiled, showed me her braces, didn't seem any different.

The police suspect instead of nitrous, he used triazolam. It knocked her out, ensured she had no memory of the assault.

KKevin

Sick bastard.

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.

JNJanelle 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.

We understand. We'll be back in the morning to check on her.

I have been reviewing Robin's history just to make sure we haven't missed anything, and... well, uh, some of her symptoms, they're not consistent with a psychiatric disorder.

Dr. Reese...

Let her finish.

Two days ago when Robin came to the hospital, she was running a mild fever, 100.2, and her BP was elevated. Now, at the time, we didn't think anything of it...

That's cause it's a very mild fever. And of course her BP was elevated. She was on a forced hold. She was agitated.

But when Robin was brought in today, it seemed she was experiencing visual hallucinations. Now, auditory hallucinations indicate a mental disorder, but visual hallucinations should be considered organic until proven otherwise.

I think we all wish that Robin had a treatable physical condition rather than...

I want to check her ceruloplasmin levels and run an FTA-ABS, as well as an MRI and EEG to rule out scelerosis and epilepsy.

Of course. Do it.

[Dr. Reese leaves]

What's the matter with you?

She's trying to make me feel better. And bless her, but she's grasping at straws. Come on.

Are you so blinded by your fear that Robin inherited her problems from you that you won't even entertain an alternative?

False hope, Sharon. Come on. I don't need any.

You don't know that. Where's the Daniel who leaves no stone unturned when diagnosing a patient? Where's the Daniel who never gives up? Don't you think your own daughter deserves that much?

I was wrong to take Robin out of the hospital. I'm sorry.

Well... I have certainly been wrong, too. Seeing the whole thing through the prism of my own fears.

Since I was a kid, I always wondered if there was something I could've done to stop my mom from killing herself. I obviously couldn't save my mom, but I was sure as hell gonna try and save Robin.

You know, at one point, I considered bringing that up. Decided it probably wouldn't have been helpful.

[they share a snicker] Yeah, probably not.

Well, she's not gonna want to have anything to do with me after all this is over, that's for sure.
