“Unfinished Business” · Season 1, Episode 15

In this episode: Dean Winchester (940), Damon Salvatore (715), Sam Winchester (665), Olivia Benson (637), Stephen Fry (608), Narrator (554), Clark Kent (523), Nate (486)

Well, she's not catatonic. Whatever knocked her out, it's not psychiatric. What'd her tox screens show?

Yeah, she's clean. Blood alcohol, arterial gases, and all other labs, too.

Diabetic ketoacidosis?

Blood sugar's normal.

Liver failure?

Ammonia level's normal.

Chest x-ray and all the CTs were clean.

The scar on her cheek?

Plate from an old fracture. No apparent connection to her unconsciousness.

[approaching] Just got off the phone with PD. Ruzek ran Rachel's name through the system. She got busted a few times: DUI and possession.

And yet a clean tox and BAC. Hmm, the plot thickens. Good luck.

He fainted?

Yeah, getting out of the shower. When I pressed for details, he confessed to being light-headed all week.

[handing him a tablet] Yeah, troponin's way too high. Left ventricular ejection fraction is 10%.

I've been treating Dan for six months. Steroids, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, beta blockers. No matter what I try, he just keeps getting worse.

Where is he on the transplant list?

Way too low.

Don't let him give up.

First you're treating my father, and now you're blackmailing him?

You heard me.

Look, I don't know what he told you...

He said you're jealous of our relationship, that you have some twisted paternal feelings for me, that you threatened him, and said if he didn't stay away from me, you'd sabotage his chances of getting on the list.

I threatened him? Wh... sabotage?

I'm a shrink in a sweater vest, not a secret agent.

[after Reese rows at Daniel] What was that about?

As you will read in my evaluation, her father, Dr. Haywood, has a particularly malignant form of Antisocial personality disorder.

Are you serious? Is she in danger?

Well, I haven't picked up any violent tendencies yet, but he's an extremely effective manipulator.

Dr. Reese doesn't know?

Well, I think she might be starting to figure it out on a clinical level, but emotionally, she's... she's not there yet.

Natalie, you can't sit on this.

If I report it, Catherine will likely be removed as Sam's guardian. I wanna pull in social services.

This goes beyond family counseling. It's a criminal matter. She intentionally stopped trach care to cause her son's death.

To end his suffering. You know, she looked into moving to a state where assisted suicide is legal? But because Sam isn't terminally ill and can't express his wishes, he didn't qualify.

Exactly. Which means you can't be certain this is what he wants.

No one knows what Sam wants more than his mother.

Then she needs to go to court and make her case, petition a judge to get his feeding tube removed. Look, Natalie, I'm not arguing she's wrong, but what she did is illegal. You have to call the police.

Then I will.

[after Natalie proposes an experimental treatment] You gave him those drugs?

I told you not to, and you did it anyway.

His wife wanted to give 'em a try.

You shouldn't have even suggested it.

She deserved a choice.

You went behind my back. I can't believe you did that.

You wouldn't listen to me.

I did listen to you. I just hope you haven't put a nail in this man's coffin.

I didn't have any choice. All of our ED doctors were tied up because of the lockdown, the patient was in laryngospasm. I couldn't get the tubes past her cord. At that point, I had to trach her. Any doctor would have the same problem.

Yeah, except, Maggie... they're doctors. They're allowed to perform these procedures.

Sharon, what would you have done?

Exactly what you did, but, unfortunately, that's not going to help you.

Sharon, am I gonna lose my job over this?

I hope not, but until I can figure something out... I've got to suspend you, Maggie.

Sharon.

I'm sorry.

[turning in her badge] The patient would've died. I have no regrets.

I know what you're gonna say. I should not have lied to Joanna. It was wrong. She's just a desperate, troubled woman, not a psychopath.

She's not, but am I? Am I a psychopath?

Look how easily I lied to her, how I coldly manipulated her.

In this context, that's hardly an indication of psychopathy.

Well, how about my life? Would you say that I'm able to form lasting relationships? I mean, I have no real friends, no significant romantic attachments. I think I have emotions, but maybe they aren't real. Maybe they're just imitative.

You just told me that you felt guilty about lying to a patient, which means that you have a conscience, which means that you're not a psychopath.

Whatever you wanna call it, I am my father's daughter.

Well... well, you're also my resident, and I find you to be a... a deeply compassionate person, who's capable of great empathy. I just never would've roped you into this whole psychiatry thing if I wasn't entirely convinced of that.

[asking Daniel and Sarah for a psych consult] Did I just hear them say they're going to talk to a demon?

Speaking of which, I wonder what my sister's doing. Think she's burned down my apartment yet?

I actually called her to check in.

She wanted to know where the laundry detergent is, even asked if we had anything we wanted her to throw in the load.

Really? Emily?

O, ye of little faith.

Hey, Dr. Charles, you got a sec? I've got a case I'd like to run by you.

What you got?

My patient, Emma, nine, she presented with abdominal pain on the left side, so I did a quick bedside scan to check her ovaries. It's actually testicular torsion.

Testicular torsion?

Yes. The ultrasound showed an absence of uterus and ovaries, but she has undescended testes.

Huh. Nothing about this in her chart?

No. I doubt the family has any idea.

Okay. Page Pediatric Urology. We need to get a plan together.

What's the story?

Well, Carter said that Bo was, uh, cooking up BHL. [seeing he doesn't understand] Uh, butane hash oil. You blast marijuana with enough butane, and you get pure THC.

Lengths kids will go to to get high these days.

Look, Sharon... CFD and CPD will conduct their own very thorough investigation, and it is in the hospital's best interest, and frankly yours, to not put yourself in the middle.

But I am in the middle, Peter. Carter's my godson. I've known this boy since he was in diapers. He's not some master manipulator. If he lied, it's because he was scared.

Beside the fact that the Singletons are your friends, they are also major donors to this hospital, and there is a multi-million dollar relationship at stake here. So if the kid is gonna get in trouble, please, let PD be the bad guys.

Any word from the ethics committee?

[Charles glances at Emma's treatment room]

No way. No way they're gonna allow this.

Because, technically, they have both Judy and Emma's consent, and because testicular torsion is a medical emergency, the hospital feels obligated to act.

But the assent was coerced.

Yeah, but coercion's very difficult to prove, and the truth is that in the majority of these cases, the courts do side with the parents. The board's worried about a negligence suit.

Dr. Rhodes, he's braindead.

Is he a donor?

[checking the patient's license] Yeah.

Okay... let's get an angio to confirm brain death, then get a cardiac echo. I've got a patient who needs a heart.

You're wasting your time on this one, Dr. Rhodes. I heard significant mitral regurg on auscultation. There's no way that heart is viable.

Maybe not now, but that doesn't mean I can't fix it. Let's get him up to Radiology now.
