Private Practice

I forgot about the adrenaline rush.

- I know. You gotta hike more often. - No, surgery.

Amazing, right? The thrill, the high.

- I felt invincible. - The scalpel in your hand...

- Nothing beats it, not sex, not... - No, sex beats it.

I wouldn't know, Sam. It's been that long.

It's bad down there. It's like some old western town...

- I can't hear you. Please stop talking. - With tumbleweeds...

I'm changing the subject. We still got to... make a decision about Naomi.

If we're not gonna replace her, I think we should at least have a talk.

About buying out her shares? I was thinking the same thing, and

I came up with a figure. I was thinking about making the suggestion today.

You know what? Even without adding someone,

we could still have another surgeon at the practice. You.

The nanny had a cold. I didn't want Lucas to get it.

Not that bringing a baby to a medical practice

is a great way to stave off germs, but

I'll keep him out of the way. He'll be fine.

Have a good day.

Oh, it's you.

We missed you around here.

- You okay? - She cried and she held on to my leg,

- and I hate it when she cries. - We are talking about Betsey, right?

It's her first day at a new school.

She's gonna be okay, right?

I know I just got back to work,

but do you mind if I take off early, check on her?

Sure. Whatever you need.

It's time.

My contractions are a few minutes apart. I'm going into labor.

Let's get you to a room.

Welcome back.

- He doesn't even look at me. - That is not true.

It feels like you don't look at me.

It's just...

Ever since...

The rape. It's okay to say it.

Sometimes that can help.

I think if you could work on saying it...

I don't want to keep bringing it up.

- She's... - You think if you don't bring it up,

- I'm gonna forget it happened? - That's the thing.

It's there. It happened.

And if you're not able to deal with what Collette went through,

then you and she aren't gonna be able to move forward together.

I'll see you next week.

Meet me by the elevators. I have to stop by the ladies room.

- I took a home pregnancy test. - You're pregnant? That's...

You guys have wanted that for so long.

You're having feelings about telling Ty?

No, it's just...

I'm eight weeks.

I don't know who I'm pregnant by...

My husband...

or the man who raped me.

Private Practice S03E04 Pushing the limits

- She didn't even look at him. - Nothing?

- She looked through him. - She's having a hard time.

She's gonna come around.

I have a patient who doesn't know if she's pregnant

by her husband or the man who raped her.

Since when did you start wearing ties to work?

- What's the occasion? - No occasion. I wear ties.

Occasion. It's volunteer clinic day at the shelter.

And I've recruited Coop and Sam to come down there with me.

So you didn't need me?

- I just figured that... - I'm seeing patients. I am fine.

Listen, by the way, since we're all here.

There is something we need to discuss. Since we decided not to replace Naomi,

we need to buy out her shares.

- What do we need to do? - We each need to put in $50,000

to the practice, and then we'll be equal partners.

- 50 grand? - Check okay?

- Check is perfect. - I could do mine.

Come on, guys. It's an investment in our future.

- Sure, whatever you need. - It's fine.

So if we can just get checks by the end of the day,

I'll get all the paperwork rolling.

I will write mine...

right now.

We have... tampons,

condoms and a sample of birth control pills, so...

We hitched here about a month ago from Portland.

I tried out Seattle and Tacoma,

but I realized, if you're gonna be homeless,

you might as well be warm.

You know, it would be great if...

you and Elliot could get checkups more often.

- There is medi-cal. - You... need documents and I.D.

I could help you track down your documents.

You know what? It's okay.

We'll make it.

How old are you?

- 15. - And there's no one, no family?

Well, I got a mom.

She's out of the picture.

If I wanted to keep my baby, I had to leave.

But we're good. You know, I take care of us.

It's been hard...

but we're lucky.

- You know, we have each other. - Sometimes...

- Look, mom. - That's all that matters, huh?

He's had a runny nose for weeks. I mean, I gave him cold medicine.

- It just won't go away. - He's got a little fever.

Let me just have our pediatrician take a look.

This is... Coo... Dr. Freedman. And this is Elliot. He's 2.

He's got a little runny nose and it feels like a fever.

- Can I take a look at you? - Come on now.

When we get done, you want to go to the park?

Let me see here.

- How long has he had this? - The rash?

A few days, maybe.

It's not something serious, is it?

We should... probably get him back to the practice, do an E.K.G.

Now.

I was so sure it was time.

It will be. You just... you just have to wait.

- Your first patient back? - False alarm, though.

I heard about Lucas, that he's yours.

Congratulations.

- Do you have a minute? - I need to get a CVS test done.

There. See? Tiny aneurysms on his coronary arteries.

Blood vessels to his heart are inflamed.

So it's kawasaki syndrome. It explains the erythematous rash.

So this kid's homeless with a heart condition.

So we treat it with immunoglobulins.

It could help, but it's not a definitive repair.

But it's the first line of treatment, right?

What?

His mother can't even afford a place to live, and now

she's gonna have a son that could continue to get sick.

I'm worried. I would like to do more.

- Like what? - I could fix it...

A bypass procedure.

I know you just did surgery...

Wait, it was an amazing surgery.

Yes, but there's a process.

You can't just jump back into surgery overnight.

The boy has a heart problem, a heart problem that you and I both

know nobody else will touch because there's no money in it.

- You're jumping the gun on this. - Maybe I am, but...

I look at her, and she should be in school with Maya, and she's not.

She's not. She's alone, and it's wrong.

Can we run her social, get an address, try to try to call the mother?

We don't know the situation. She may be a runaway.

But she could've been abused or molested.

We are not going to put her in danger,

but she is a kid on the street, in over her head with a sick baby.

Not everyone's rich with a perfect life.

- What does that mean? - I don't... it just means we...

- I don't know. - Let's find the mom.

You guys...

What?

Why are we here? Did something...

I'm... pregnant, ty.

And... there's...

You're pregnant?

So I'm gonna be a father?

This is great. This is what we wanted.

I know it's been awful. I've been awful. But,

it's like a new start, baby.

We ran a paternity test.

It turns out that you're not the...

It's his?

- I know this is awful. - How soon can we abort?

Now she's not looking at me. Now she's not talking.

Collette, what are you thinking?

It's awful.

I know it is. But...

we've been trying for so long to have a baby.

And this isn't how I imagined it could happen, but,

- this could be our chance. - Our chance?

You're thinking about having him?

After that pig did... you r... after he raped you?

There, I said it. He raped you!

And you want him inside you for another nine months?

Naomi asked me to come down upstairs for a consult.

Do you mind watching Lucas?

I'm sorry. I'm in the middle of a situation.

That husband just found out his wife is pregnant by her rapist.

- I'm way behind in patient notes. - You have time.

Lucas will not be insulted

if you do a little work while he's visiting.

If Violet asks, I'm here to consult on a case for you.

- What am I an excuse for? - So I can leave the baby with her.

Come on. I have to do something.

I figured if I brought Lucas to work, she'd be forced to see him, and maybe...

I don't know that forcing her to bond with the baby

- is gonna be such a good idea. - I don't expect a miracle,

but maybe if she just got curious,

something to remind her that she has a son with me. Am I crazy?

Trust me. Chocolate cures almost everything.

This place is nice. You've done well.

It's nice. It's a little quiet.

- Quiet's good. - Quiet is fine.

Quiet is professional. But it's...

I don't know, it's a little weird.

Everyone's always holed up in their offices working,

and I just kinda... I feel like...

- They treat me like... - The boss?
