Nightmare Nurse

Come on, people!

The clock is ticking!

So Brooke, this is our Friday night special?

I thought a little prosciutto would compliment the shrimp and the sun-dried tomatoes.

Hm...

Black olive tapenade.

That's a bold move on a dish like this.

It was just a taste.

It's too busy. You hate it.

I hate that you've made something more interesting

than anything we've had on the specials in the last four months.

You're my new sous chef.

It's a creme brulee, not a French...

Oh, you got my text.

Thank you for the heads up.

Is that for me?

Connie, what would Larry say?

If that was from Buttery Bakery,

he'd thank you with his mouth full.

She's at the bar.

She's gonna love it.

- Go get 'er, tiger. - Thanks, Connie.

New Zealand...

Looks like you have a fan club.

Congrats, baby.

Lance! Hey.

Oh, my god. How did you know?

- Connie. - Yeah...

well don't party too hard.

You have a big night tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to it.

- Thanks, Chef. - Yeah, don't thank me yet.

My right hand is the one I usually burn.

Bye, Marco.

Oh, flowers!

But it's not even our two year anniversary.

- It has been one week since you moved in, though. - Mm.

And a salted caramel cake?

That's my favorite.

Not bad, Mr. Boston.

I am really proud of you.

Thanks, baby.

All right, a beer for me, and a shot of tequila

for the sexy top chef.

What are you doing?

Celebrating your promotion.

Come on.

Well in that case, make it two shots of tequila.

Okay.

What? Now that you're here, I'm not driving home.

To your promotion and to one week

of living together without a fight.

Let's enjoy it while it lasts.

- And your second celebration shot. - Oh, I'll grab it.

This one's to allhe amazing food you're gonna cook for me.

Okay.

I can't believe I almost forgot my cake.

Your cake?

You're not gonna share it with me?

Okay, I thought we agreed when we moved in together,

everything would be 50/50.

Uh, except for when you bring home salted caramel cake.

Then it's a 70/30 split.

Oh, okay. I see how it is.

Not cool.

Very cool!

d Some people want to have their cake and eat it too d

d And after I take my bite I give the rest to you d

How's the paper coming along?

Still got a ways to go.

But good news is, it looks like we're getting

another grant from the university,

so I'll have more time.

- How much? - I don't know.

$20,000 I think.

Nice.

That should buy you some time.

Yeah, but as much as I enjoy the sabbatical,

I miss the students.

It'll be nice when I can get back to teaching.

Or you know, we could just...

get married now and start having kids?

Um...

I just got promoted.

Are you gonna be a stay-at-home dad?

- I could learn to lactate. - All right.

Here.

Lance!

Lance! Lance!

- Take it easy, Ms. Harmon. - Lance is going to be okay.

You're in the hospital, but everything is okay.

Where is he? I wanna see him.

And you will.

He's recovering from surgery right now.

Surgery? What happened to him?

You were both in an accident.

You suffered a laceration to your ribs, and your friend...

- Lance. His name is Lance. - Okay.

Lance fractured his femur.

What? What happened to us?

You were in a car accident.

He was pinned behind the wheel

when the EMTs arrived on the scene.

Wh...

What about... What about the man?

What about the man in the road?

I'm sorry?

The two of you were brought in alone.

There was nobody with you.

Okay.

I'm gonna send the doctor in to see you...

and then we'll see what we can do

about taking you to see Lance, okay?

Here we go.

Thank you, Barb...

Barbara.

Thank you, Barbara.

You can call be Barb.

- He's right in there. - Thank you.

- Hey. - Hi.

I've been waiting for you.

How are you feeling?

Like crap.

But the drugs have helped.

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

I'm just glad you're okay.

I'm so sorry, baby.

Don't be sorry.

- I didn't see him until the last second... - Lance...

it was an accident.

He jumped out into the road.

Sorry to bother you guys, but there's a Detective Thames here to see you.

Okay. Send him in.

- Right this way. - Thanks. Thank you.

Hi. Pardon the interruption.

I just need a minute to collect

an official statement regarding the accident, all right?

Of course.

Do we know what happened to the man we hit?

Yeah, is he gonna be okay?

You know, I...

I'm sorry.

But you'll be glad to know that your blood alcohol test

came back below the legal limit.

So as of right now, I am only here to get an official statement.

All right?

Bottom line, Brooke, is you guys need to be

incredibly thankful that you survived.

I know.

Just can't believe he died.

It wasn't your fault.

That guy jumped out in front of your car.

I guarantee you they will find out

he was hopped up on something.

He could have killed both of you.

I texted you Gwen's number.

Besides being Marco's girlfriend,

she is the best attorney on the West Side.

Oh, my god.

I haven't even spoken to Marco.

No worries.

He just wants you to heal up

and come back when you're ready.

Sorry to interrupt. I need to change your pack.

Hey Connie, let me call you back.

Thanks again.

Okay. Bye.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Sorry.

I'm just having one of those days.

- I'm sorry. - Yeah. Lost a patient.

She's had a heart disease for a long time,

but she finally died last night.

She was one of our favorites.

I'm so sorry.

Well, it goes with the territory.

You'd think I'd be used to it, but I'm not.

In happier news...

I heard that you and Lance are gonna be released tomorrow.

Yeah.

I'm so happy that Lance is okay.

It's important to know that your loved ones are safe.

Hey, um...

I was informed that Lance would need

an in-home nurse for a couple of weeks.

I was wondering if that's something

they give you leave to do?

Unfortunately no, but we do have a database

of referrals from the different insurance companies.

We can help you set that up.

Okay. Thank you.

- Drink some water. - Okay.

Feel better.

Brooke! Hey!

I'm glad I caught you guys before you left.

So look, we found you a pre-approved nurse

under your insurance provider for up to six weeks of in-home care.

She can do physical therapy, too.
