The Good Doctor

I made you blueberry pancakes.

Would you prefer cauliflower?

Nope. Shaun, that's our baby.

I'm 36 weeks.

The baby is the size of a head of cauliflower.

Our baby will not be this bumpy.

I am very... happy.

Me, too.

We're having a baby,

I have an amazing job,

you're an attending.

We have a new family car.

Dr. Glassman has moved down the hall.

Jared is coming back to work at the hospital.

It is great that he's back.

But, you know, the dynamic might be a little different.

Research has shown that when working with friends,

you get more done in less time and have fun on the job.

But Jared will be working for you, not with you.

It can be different when you have to manage a friend.

Lines can get blurred, and that can be hard.

Hmm...

The lines are not blurred.

They are very clear.

Hey, there, Loverboy.

Give me the details.

Are you and Jerome exchanging keys,

or are you getting a whole-new place together?

Yeah, no. He did not ask me to move in.

Then what did he want to talk to you about?

I... I don't want to talk about it.

Okay, now I want to know even more,

and my interrogation will continue until...

You going to the club or work?

Yeah, these early calls are gonna take some getting used to.

- Hmm. - A little Kendrick's the perfect pick-me-up.

Never mad at Kendrick.

Yes.

Nice shirt. Tom Ford?

Yeah, my good luck charm.

Figured it couldn't hurt on my first day back.

For $700, it should give you more than luck.

On occasion, it has.

See you guys in there.

The car is a bit much, but the fashion is lit.

Now, Mr. Grumpy, what's going on with you?

Goodbye.

Dr. Kalu is not your peer, not your friend.

He is your employee and you are his boss.

I am confident that Jared will do a good job.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

He is not "Jared." He is "Dr. Kalu."

I do not always call people by their professional titles.

- Sometimes I call Dr. Allen... - Dr. Murphy.

An informal communication style with Dr. Kalu

can create a perception of special treatment and favoritism.

I do not plan to give Jared special treatment.

That doesn't mean Dr. Kalu isn't expecting it.

And if I see it, it won't be good for either of you.

She has bruising and pain even with passive range of motion.

Some bullies at school chased her.

She fell down the stairs trying to get away.

That's not even how it happened.

I knew we should have stuck with homeschooling.

She insisted, and look what happened.

You need to be still.

Your shoulder is fractured.

Ultrasound the patient.

Why are you laughing?

Sh-She can't help it. Yara has Tourette syndrome.

- It's why she got into the fight at school. - Mom, he was asking me.

You never let me speak for myself.

It wasn't a fight.

Some kids thought it would be funny to point and stare at me,

and I thought it would be funny to egg their lockers.

Then my stupid tics messed up my getaway.

There's significant tissue swelling

and massive hematoma at the proximal humerus.

The fracture has caused an acute compartment syndrome.

You need surgery right away.

What were you doing when you started getting dizzy?

I was sitting in gym class,

and then the room started to spin.

And then I threw up.

But I wasn't doing it.

I just introduced Carter

to the Wonder Woman comics.

He's been trying to learn the twirl.

I don't blame you. The twirl is awesome.

Where's my little guy?

- Hey, Mama E. - Hey, Carter G.

You should have called me immediately.

Elaine's my mom.

And I don't need your permission

to bring my son to the hospital.

Actually, you do.

I'm his legal guardian.

What's wrong with him?

Uh, his heart rate is... is quite low.

What does that mean?

It looks like Carter has an abnormality

of the electrical signals controlling his heartbeat.

We need to run some tests.

Echo and electrophysiology study.

The prodigal resident returns.

Aha. Lovely to see you as well, Dr. Reznick.

Will the hospital be getting a new wing

in the Kalu family name?

My family are doing well. Thanks for asking.

And I was recruited to return based on my training,

breadth of experience,

and willingness to take

a demotion back to a first year.

Ooh, it's gonna be hellish being bossed around by newbies

and people who used to be your peers.

Grab me that box on the top shelf.

I missed you, too.

You know, while I was away,

I learned how to read emotional energy.

And sniping at people's your love language.

Happy to know you still care.

Good luck, newbie.

Thanks.

I, uh...

I gotta get to surgery. Enjoy.

Your control of the shaft segment

is very precise.

Thank you.

Brown retractor.

No brown retractor.

I thought I put it on your tray from the supply room.

All of my tools must be individually selected,

sterilized, and placed in my tray

before I begin the surgery.

Understood. Got it.

That will do.

Further expose the proximal humerus.

Place sutures in rotator cuff to mobilize humeral head.

Sorry for dropping the ball with your tools.

Rookie mistake.

Don't sweat it.

You're BFFs with the boss, right?

I treat every resident the same.

Dr. Allen,

place Steinmann pins proximal to biceps tendon.

Dr. Kalu, you are on suction.

Oh.

Catheter placed in the axillary vein.

I feel bad for Carter's mom.

I can't imagine trying to raise a kid

with my mother backseat driving my every move.

Well, maybe if Bianca told Elaine

that she was taking Carter to the hospital,

she would trust her more.

Pacing wire.

Bianca was probably doing what she thought was best.

Withholding information is never for the best.

Advancing to the right ventricle.

Everything okay between you two?

We're... fine.

That can't be right.

I need contrast to clear up what I'm seeing on fluoroscopy.

L-transposition of the great arteries.

The ventricles are...

inverted.

His heart is... backward.

Your surgery went well.

We were able to decompress and release

your compartment syndrome

and stabilize your humerus fracture.

Great. When can I go back to school?

You'll only be out a few days.

Just be sure to wear your sling.

You're not going back to school.

- Why not? - It's not safe.

I'm not sending you back so they can hurt you again.

I'm not a baby. I can take care of myself.

I just need to take your vitals.

If you could take care of yourself,

we wouldn't have ended up in the hospital.

Going to school is literally the only thing that I do that is normal.

I don't want to be...

I don't want to be stuck at home with you.

You never let me do anything by mys...

Yara?

She's having a seizure.

We need 2 milligrams of lorazepam and MRI, stat!

She's sleeping like a baby.

You should've used propofol instead of Versed to sedate her.

Versed is old school.

Same effects, none of the overshooting.

Why are you changing my settings?

Peds case.

Shorter duration imaging sequences cuts the time in half.

It's your first day, remember?

You could probably use a refresher before trying a shortcut.

I'm a little out of practice,

but I've still got a few tricks up my sleeve.

Says the guy who has to repeat a year.

- Ow. - Mm-hmm.
