The Night Shift

Tell me real quick before he comes back.

How'd you meet this new guy?

In line at the grocery store.

Oh! Very 1950s housewife of you.

Yeah.

Well, he seems like a nice guy.

Yeah, you know, so far so good, which I needed right now.

Just... Normal.

- Hey. - Hey.

Are you okay?

Yeah. It's just hot today.

Actually, it's... it's unseasonably cool

for summer in San Antonio, I thought.

Oh, it must just be me then.

So, how long have you and Shannon been together?

- Oh, uh, well... - Nope.

We're not "together". We don't use labels.

Well, uh... well, labels are there for a reason, you know?

I mean... I mean, how do you define together, Matt?

You know, I-i think that there is together, right?

And then there's together, right?

And... and... and so...

Are you sure you're okay? 'Cause you're sweating a lot.

Yeah, I'm good.

Yeah?

- Matt. Matt? -

Oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Oh!

Shannon: What the hell?

Okay, I need you to help move furniture.

I'll call 911 and meet the ambulance.

Oh, he has a punctured femoral artery.

All right, I want you to cut the straps on my purse.

We're gonna use it as a tourniquet.

Right there.

He's still bleeding.

All right, let's roll him over.

Great, he's got a puncture in his butt.

We can't tourniquet it. W-what do we do?

I have to occlude the artery with my finger.

This date just keeps getting better.

Announcer: Touchdown.

Yeah! There we go!

Nice to hang out with you. Haven't done it in a while.

Oh, hang on.

It's Syd. She's in town signing her discharge papers.

She's gonna drop off a letter of recommendation later tonight

- for Brianna's social worker. - Right.

You?

Uh, hospital sale... that's a kick in the nuts, huh?

Right?

- Jessica. - Yeah.

I did not see that coming.

Just shows you not to trust women, huh?

Maybe just not that woman.

I wouldn't slam the entire gender then Annie tells me today

that she's thinking of moving in with Scott.

Scott. Can you believe that?

- Like, Scott, Scott. - Yeah.

So, to summarize, betrayed by a girlfriend,

Annie ditching me, and E.R. being sold.

Thank you.

- Hey, get a... - coming up.

Thought you cut down on the drinking.

- Yeah, I was. - Right.

And look where it got me.

Yeah.

Uh, you know what? I'm gonna go.

I want to see Brianna before she falls asleep.

- Yeah. - We're gonna talk, okay?

Later.

- Take an uber home. - Okay.

You can... you can just... You can have this seat here

- if you want. - Thank you.

You hitting on my girl?

Trust me, I'm not hitting on your girl.

Okay? Oh, so you're saying she's ugly.

No. I just offered her my chair. Brian.

All right? Everything's cool, man.

- Come on, baby. - Just... it's okay.

That's right, you better leave, little bitch.

- Whoa, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. - No. No, t.

- W-what did you call my friend? - I said he's a little bitch.

Let it go. T, come on! T!

You need to stay focused on shadowing Kenny tonight.

First step back towards nursing school.

I'm really proud of you.

Thank you. I'm excited.

I'm a little distracted.

I had kind of a rough start to the night.

- What? - But, um...

I just... I told t.C.

That we were talking about moving in together.

He did not take it well.

Oh. You told him that?

I mean, I know we... we talked about it one time,

but we hadn't decided anything about it.

Oh. Okay.

I mean, doesn't it... Doesn't it seem fast?

Y... I know we had that moment where we were lying in bed

and we were talking to each other about "what if?" But...

Yeah. No. You know what? I jumped the gun.

Just forget I said anything.

- Well, Annie... - incoming.

There's my boss. I better go.

Annie, first patient's up. Let's go.

- I'm ready. - What do we got?

Female, late 20s. She's tachy with a stable BP.

Patient lost control of her bicycle and fell on her chin,

bit her tongue. Okay. Trauma one.

She's choking on her blood.

Can't find the cut with all this blood.

- More suction, Kenny. - On it.

Hold it. Hold it.

She's not choking on blood.

There's something in the back of her throat.

Magill forceps.

- What is that? -It's a piece of food.

Okay.

Let's set up to suture her chin.

Annie: I'll get the kit.

I thought I got it all. Hey! Guys!

- Wait. Annie? - On it.

What do you see?

Nothing.

That's a problem. There's nothing in there.

Hey. What do you got?

Uh, male, 42. Status post syncopal fall

with multiple lacs from broken glass.

He's got a punctured femoral and sacral artery.

- BP is in the 90s. - All right.

I'll stitch him up in trauma two,

then send him up for an angiogram

to see if he needs more surgery.

Uh, no, Paul... he can do it.

He's right behind me with Shannon.

- What, were you guys... - Hanging out.

So, where'd he come from?

We were on a double date.

And now you got your finger in his butt cheek.

This should be interesting.

Shut up.

There wasn't any other food in your throat,

so we need to figure out what's been causing you to gag.

- Has this happened before? - Yeah, a lot lately.

That's why I fell off my bike.

I-I was riding in brackenridge park,

and I took a bite of a power bar and started choking...

And just lost control of my bike.

I just... i-I've been having trouble

keeping food down lately.

You look a little thin, Dana.

Is there something else going on?

Here we go.

You think I have an eating disorder

like all the other doctors.

- What other doctors? - All of them.

I've been to so many, I've lost count.

I'm... I'm not purposely starving myself.

I just... I can't eat.

Are you on any medications for it?

You seem a little anxious.

I took Xanax,

but that zonked me out, so I stopped doing that.

I went holistic.

I have tried yoga, meditation, exercise.

I mean, I even went to Peru to see a shaman.

Took ayahuasca and went on a vision quest.

Wow. I-i, uh, would not have recommended that.

The ayahuasca made me puke for three days,

and I feel like I haven't stopped since I got back.

I mean, this has ruined my life.

So if you're finished, I just... I really...

I just want to go home to my dog.

Yeah. I'm, uh...

I'm gonna give you a shot of a strong antacid

in case this is from reflux.

And then I'll look through your chart.

Topher,

can I talk to you for a second?

I don't have anything to say to you, Lucifer.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

I'm on your side. I'm trying to help you.

By secretly working

for the company that's gonna fire everybody.

You might want to rethink that strategy.

You were going to get fired anyway, okay?

I didn't have anything to do with that.

I gave you the heads-up.

You gave them all our secrets.

Now they may fire everybody.

Is t.C. Okay?

You should ask him.

He won't answer any of my calls.

Good for him. Now if you'll excuse me,

I need to take care of my patient

while I still have a job here.

Mollie, I'm gonna need an office after my meeting.

Can you help me, please?

After what you did to Topher, try the local Starbucks.
