[Abby and Maggie are watching the surgeons operate on Abby and Luka's baby boy]
I can't do this. I can't pretend everything's gonna be ok. Premies don't make it out of the OR.
Let it go. Abby, Abby. All the bad things you've seen, let it go.
And I can't believe I let myself get talked into this.
Stop it!
I spent a month in the NICU, I know how this ends.
Abby! You have a lot of great qualities, but optimism is not one of them.
[laughs] Whose fault is that?
Yeah. Alright. I did not create a good environment for a child to grow up believing things would work out. But you're not a child any longer. You're the mother now. And that baby down there needs you to believe he's gonna be ok.
Another round of epi! Guys, he's grey. Point 2 of epi. 10 cc's of pav, now!
I'm trying! I am really, really trying!
