New Amsterdam

Previously on "New Amsterdam"...

Have you met the group?

That's Willow.

And Millie.

Don't be scared. We don't bite.

You're calling yourself this

and you're gonna keep suffering until you stop.

If I can stop.

It's been a family tradition since before I was born.

Sunday means church, family,

and a meal with two meats!

I can't help it; it's so good

and I can't live without it, like I can't live without you.

Aww.

How's Luna?

Frolicking in suburban splendor

with Georgia's parents.

I miss her. It's just not safe enough

to bring her home.

Nothing's safe anymore, though, is it?

Every tile in her house needed re-grouting.

Every pipe needed to be winterized,

and that was between the grocery store runs

and delivering chicken dinners to the usher board.

I knew your mama would have you rippin' and runnin'.

You know she's still mad we moved to San Francisco.

I mean, every time I tried to talk to her about it,

she just snuck off to bed.

But just getting to see her and my sisters for two weeks

made it all worthwhile.

Well, when you get off that plane,

you'll putting those eyes on me.

Well, hopefully more than eyes.

What did you have in mind?

Oh, surprise. That's her.

Hang on.

Oh.

Three goodbyes at the door wasn't enough?

Mama?

Whoa--whoa, Mama, hang on.

I can't-- I can't understand you.

Mama.

No, no, no. Do not move. I'm coming.

Hey, we need to turn around.

Am I supposed to feel like I'm being choked?

I want this off now.

You need to stay immobilized.

I told you not to call an ambulance.

Mama.

You know how expensive those things are?

It's fine. I'll handle it.

Oh, sure, Mr. Moneybags,

while you're dragging me all through COVID-land here.

If I could've given you a CT scan at home, I would've.

I don't need a scan.

You don't need a scan?

I found you laid out on the ground,

bleeding from your head, okay?

We're gonna run every test we can

to make sure you don't have trauma.

Do I sound like I have trauma?

Floyd! I just heard.

How you feeling, Ms. Reynolds?

Lousy. You?

It's crazy; I was on my way to the airport--

I got you. We're gonna run some tests.

I'm gonna run point on this. I got you.

Don't worry about it.

Max, you don't have to do--

No, no, no. You were here for Vijay.

Now we're here for you.

Oh! Max!

I hear Floyd's mother's in the ED.

Oh, yeah, she took a fall, but we're getting some tests.

I think she's gonna be okay.

Speaking of falling...

Oh, Luna!

Yeah, she'll be walking in no time.

I'd say she's walking now.

No, no.

That--that's a stumble.

Well, it's less than a saunter.

I'll give you that.

Yeah.

But it couldn't be because there's no way

that my baby girl would take her first steps without me.

All video evidence to the contrary.

When you bringing her home?

Not till it's safe.

If Luna doesn't need to be here, she shouldn't be.

And her grandparents are great.

They're crazy careful, they got a big yard--

They take lots of videos.

They do.

Of Luna not walking.

She's not.

Max?

Yeah?

Hey, hi. Can I talk to you for a sec?

Yeah, perfect timing.

What does this look like to you?

Um...oh, my gosh! Luna! She's walking!

No. No. Wrong answer.

Oh. Sorry, yeah.

Hard to tell what's happening on that tiny little screen.

It is!

Which is actually what I wanted to talk to you about.

I was just trying to get some screen time in

with Ella and Vijay, who I think is recuperating well,

but I wouldn't know, because the hospital's system sucks.

Yeah, agreed.

It glitches all the time.

It does.

Yeah.

And the telemedicine thing is getting brutal.

I mean, like, I need to be with my patients in person.

I need to see them.

It's not safe, Iggy.

Unless we're talking life or death,

the longer people stay away from the hospital, the better.

They'll wear masks.

How are you gonna read facial cues?

All right. So we'll sit outside.

Not until they're vaccinated like us.

Iggy, it's too soon. I'm sorry.

Can someone help?

I'll take her, but you just can't--

It's okay, it's okay. I got it.

It's her wrist.

Can you move it?

Ah, it hurts so bad.

Okay, we're gonna do a COVID test

and Casey's gonna get your patient history

and we're gonna order a scan--

I'm thinking Colles' fracture of the distal radius.

And you are?

Her DriveTime driver.

I think I can take it from here, but thank you.

Five stars.

38-year-old woman. Stage-II esophageal cancer.

Millie?

Oh, I'm so sorry, Dr. Sharpe.

Large-volume hematemesis.

Now tachy, but otherwise hemodynamically stable.

Can we get her in the back?

Yeah.

We've been worried about you. My office reached out.

I know. I know.

You've missed a number of treatments.

We were doing the whole stay-at-home order thing

and I was feeling so much better.

I thought it was crazy to take the risk.

I mean, after three years of fighting cancer,

to die of some stupid virus?

We'll need to do some new tests.

I'm gonna be all right, aren't I?

June, remember our agreement?

You know, I love a carousel as much as the next guy--

probably even more, truth be told--

but let's try to keep the focus on you.

Thank you.

How's your day?

You do any journaling this week?

Okay, June, I--

I get that this is not ideal, the video thing.

But I would love it if both of us could give it our best shot.

What do you think?

So tell me about your journaling.

What do you got?

I guess it was...

No. Oh, no. Ah!

June, hang--hang on one second.

What is--hold on.

Can you hear me?

June, can you hear me?

Oh, my God.

This sucks.

Welcome to my world.

Yeah.

Yeah.

How often do you get to see anybody

that's not trapped inside of this little box?

Folks not included, obviously.

Never. Like, never.

And most of your friends,

they're all congregating outside again?

They all are,

while I'm just the immunocompromised freak

still stuck at home.

Whoa, whoa. You are not a freak.

You have an illness that you are managing.

You know, maybe we can talk to your parents

and see if we can set up some safe visitations or...

I don't know, something.

Good luck.

They won't even let me out on our stoop.

Right.

When COVID hit and everybody was, like,

stuck in their house, hating it,

that must've been really weird for you
