Black Box

Previously on "Black Box"...

If anyone has a medical condition that can harm patients,

they must come forward.

This is a firing offense.

You know, I can't stop thinking about last time.

It will never happen again.

Reagan: You can't call her when you're manic or depressed.

You're supposed to be the grown-up.

She's my daughter.

You have somewhere else to turn for love and support.

If we love each other, we can deal with the truth.

I slept with someone in San Francisco.

Oh.

I don't deserve this.

You don't.

You cheated on me in San Francisco.

But I'm glad you told me the truth.

I'm staying on these.

Good.

I want to know how they work.

What is this?

Oxcar...

Oxcarbazepine.

It's, um...

It's used for epilepsy. You'll see.

Sometimes, um, prescribed for mood disorders.

You know what lithium is?

This one...

Helps with the mania.

What about olanzapine?

It's an antipsychotic.

Sometimes used for tourette's.

For me...

Musical hallucinations.

- Do you have those? - Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

I'm gonna miss them.

You know, but the meds... they can, um...

They can numb me, you know?

Sometimes it's hard to concentrate.

But do they change who you are?

No.

They allow me to be me.

Without the crazy,

which is a good thing... mostly.

Mmm. This is incredible.

Okay. Which is the real Catherine...

The unmedicated or the medicated?

You know who I am...

Just as well as I know who you are.

Really?

Yeah.

You think you know me that well?

Well, I think so.

Know that new hostess at the restaurant... Delilah?

Young, pretty?

Very young. She's 20.

Very pretty. Sexy.

I slept with her.

We're here waiting for Gabriella Mozza.

Hey! Come on!

What about the baby?!

Hey! What about the baby?

Is the baby gonna pull through?!

Let them through!

- Gabriella! Gabriella! - Let's get the cameras.

Paramedic: 32-year-old pregnant woman,

36 weeks gestation.

Lost consciousness due to choking on food.

She has a head injury.

Witnesses say she hit her head on the floor.

The Heimlich wasn't done because the wife is pregnant.

The husband was afraid it would hurt the baby.

Stand back! Let them through!

Gabriella! Gabriella!

Lina: What was going on down there?

Dr. Bickman performed an emergency cricothyroidotomy

on a world-famous opera singer

during breakfast at the Carlyle Hotel...

With a steak knife.

Anyone seen Gabriella Mozza?

She'll need surgery for the head injury.

They rushed her into the O.R., Dr. Bickman.

And he didn't use the Heimlich maneuver because...?

- Maybe she had previous chest injuries. - No.

He didn't use the Heimlich because it's not flashy enough to get him on TMZ.

The man is a publicity whore.

Who? Bickman? My God. Loves his P.R.

Have you seen the amount of press outside?

Jabbing a steak knife into somebody's throat for P.R.'S sake?

Wait. He did what?

He's... he's a gifted surgeon.

He's a psychopath,

which, frankly, is not all that surprising.

A huge percentage of neurosurgeons are functional psychopaths.

They have to be because of how many patients they kill.

He saved that woman's life. He's a hero.

You know, if you want to know whether or not Bickman is really a dreamboat

or a clinically deranged psychopath, you should test him.

- The RPTC? - Yep.

I love it. I'm in.

- The what? - The Rosengard psychopath traits checklist.

It's a list of personality traits used to assess

whether or not somebody is, indeed, a psychopath,

but if you ask me this morning...

All men are.

- Both pupils are equal and reactive to light. -

Now, Mrs. Temko, can you stand up for me?

Um, yeah.

Hello. I'm Dr. Black.

Hi. Maddy. Her daughter.

All right, I want you to walkin a straight line towards me, heel to toe.

Great.

The patient had an idiopathic syncopal event, Dr. Black.

EKG, TTE, and CMP were all negative.

Hi, Mona.

Hi.

So, what this means is that you fainted and we don't know why.

So, I see it happened this morning at a zumba?

Yes. That's my dance and fitness regime.

It's a... a combination of hip-hop and salsa and merengue.

Very, very invigorating.

Mom.

What?

Oh.

She's always criticizing my style...

Although her father, my ex-husband,

remarries a 27-year-old,

and I'm the one who needs to be reminded to act her age.

She also had a car accident the other day.

She drove into a wall.

It was the parking garage at Neiman's.

There was a sale. People were driving crazy.

Do you know today's date, Mona?

Oh, yeah. It is "D" day.

Tomorrow's her birthday.

Well, happy birthday.

39.

Wow, you look fantastic.

But I'd like to send you for a C.T., just to be on the safe side, okay?

All right, well, as long as it doesn't take too long.

I have a lot of organizing to do.

I'm throwing myself a party. Somebody's got to.

Well, we'll have you out of here in no time, okay?

Leo, will you take Mona down to radiology, please?

This way.

Ian: Gabriella Mozza.

Small subdural hematoma, about 6 millimeters, no midline shift.

She probably won't need surgery, but we'll monitor her ICP.

Did you know, she hit her head when she fell?

Really cracked the sucker.

Should have heard it.

Mm, the poor husband.

Carlotta said he's been sitting by his wife's bed, crying.

I'm not really an opera fan.

It's pretty much the one genre of musicthat doesn't do anything for me.

I need to go scrub.

Cold-hearted and lacking empathy.

Check.

Who's the hottie?

Hey. I'm on my way to get results from the C.T. and blood work you ordered.

Okay. Let me know straightaway.

How random that the life you spectacularly saved today

happened to be Gabriella Mozza.

Well, she's lucky I was there.

Oh, I'm sure if she pulls through,

you'll be the first to tell her.

Thank you.

What were you doing at the Carlyle at 7:00 A.M., anyway?

Sex life... Impersonal, trivial, and poorly integrated.

Check.

Reagan?

They told me I could wait in here.

Is everything okay? Has something happened?

Everyone's fine. No.

I came to tell you that...

I'm lifting the ban on you and Esme seeing one another.

Oh, thank you. You don't know how much this means to me.

Conditionally.

Esme has an assignment from her new school.

She has to create a video documentary

that serves as a self-portrait.

Her, uh, premise statement is,

"at 15, my own self is mutable.

My identity comes from my family."

She's so smart.

She's already interviewed me and Josh,

and she'd like to include you.

It's very kind of you to allow it.

As long as you don't undermine me.

I won't. I'd never.

I'm so grateful.

Good. So...

Here's my condition.

She idolizes you.

Me, she judges.

No. She's a teenager.

They're always toughest on the ones they love most.

Appreciate you saying that.

What I want is for you to work harder
