The Resident

- Previously on The Resident... - Dad, what's going on?

I think I have a little flu, that's all.

I need to get you into the OR immediately.

I'll do whatever you say.

You put a patient at risk of getting COVID.

He won't get COVID because my OR is spotless.

This is day five with the same mask.

I've put in an emergency order, and it turns out this shipment

is on its way.

You said Red Rock wouldn't pay.

They won't. But they did.

Don't worry, I'm not expecting anything...

You may now enjoy your first kiss as husband and wife.

I feel like we've done the research,

and the results are in.

Sex is better when you're married.

Was there a concern that it wouldn't be?

No, I just didn't think

it could possibly get any better, but it did.

Nice recovery.

We need to get going.

Five more minutes in the love bubble.

Fine, five more minutes.

But then you gotta get your ass out of bed.

You've got that meeting.

Had we recklessly hopped into bed two years ago,

who knows where we'd be right now?

Agreed.

And we'll restrain ourselves in public

to keep this... whatever this is...

Private?

Agreed.

Are you just going to agree with everything I say?

Please don't tell me you're losing your edge,

Andre Jeremiah.

Please. Losing my edge

is the last thing you have to be worried about,

Mina Okafor.

Dr. Voss,

how would you describe Logan Kim's performance

as CEO during the pandemic?

Reprehensible.

He tried to coerce our surgeons to perform elective surgeries

while they were prohibited for the safety

of staff and patients,

all in the name of the bottom line.

Logan did everything he could to keep Chastain afloat.

Unfortunately, not everyone was willing to follow his lead.

Thank you, Dr. Cain.

I've never thought much off Logan Kim.

He's a garden-variety company man.

I don't really have much to say about him.

Except, when the pandemic hit, we needed PPE.

He promised he'd bend the rules to find the money, and he did.

It's the one time he earned my respect.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Good to see you, man. - You, too.

- You just get back? - Yeah.

How was the memorial?

It was sad, but it was nice to see my relatives.

Now it's time to move forward.

- How's your mom? - Um, up and down, you know.

But how about you guys?

How was the honeymoon in, Key West?

It must have been awesome.

- Did you waste away in Margaritaville? - Yes.

Yeah, we did, and it was awesome.

Excuse me. I need some help.

My boss is sick. Please come outside, it's an emergency.

We were on our way to a fundraiser,

I insisted we stop.

She's burning up, coughing. Can't keep anything in her.

Doctors, I have too much to do today to be sick.

I need you all to work fast and get me back out there.

Now.

Let's get her into the ER.

Syncopal episode, incoming to a trauma bay.

Devon, it's Congresswoman Randall.

How long have you had that pain, Congresswoman?

Please, call me Nichelle.

A few days.

Started with the fevers, diarrhea.

Which is why you collapsed. You're severely dehydrated.

Do you think I have a flu, or is it something I ate?

It's not COVID. I was vaccinated.

James mentioned a cough as well.

Anything else we should know? Underlying conditions

you're aware of?

Medications you're currently taking?

She hugs or shakes hands with everyone she meets.

And she works too hard.

Because of Governor Wayne's tragic fishing accident...

May he rest in peace

I am running in a special election to be

the first Black female governor of Georgia.

So, yes, I hug the people.

Push. Push. Push, push, push. Good.

James, call the office. I do not want

any of the staff coming down here.

"Loving mankind is not enough.

You have to love the individual."

Best speech at the convention.

Thank you.

I hate to interrupt Dr. Hawkins' fanboy moment,

but has there been any recent travel

not related to the election?

I-I went to a yoga retreat in Kentucky,

of all places, along the Ohio River.

Okay. There's a fungal infection that's common

in that region; It's called histoplasmosis.

It might explain your symptoms. We'll look into it.

But don't worry, it's treatable. We'll send out for cultures,

get you on antibiotics and antifungals

just to cover our bases.

If it is histo, we'll get you back on the campaign trail ASAP.

But we are gonna admit you.

We gotta be safe.

And for the record, Congresswoman...

Nichelle.

I insist.

Conrad. I insist.

- Is the congresswoman okay? - Yeah.

Well, on the off chance she needs an organ,

I'm happy to donate.

By the way, your husband over here geeked out on her.

Wow, "husband."

I don't know that I'll ever get used to that.

And the congresswoman's husband, Tom Randall,

is at a golf tournament in Hawaii.

He won't be here until tomorrow.

Ooh, Tom Randall is my top fantasy dinner party invite.

Falcons' greatest quarterback, Hall of Famer.

Denied a Super Bowl victory by the worst call in history.

Wow, you are a big Tom Randall groupie?

Everything will be ready in about five minutes.

Meet you guys down there.

- You stabbed me in the back. - I told the truth.

The truth you knew would get me fired.

No. I told them you did a good thing.

You listened to your better angels

when you got us that PPE, so I appealed to theirs.

Well, you're gonna find yourself incredibly disappointed.

Let me explain something to you.

I know what I stand for. I know what I'm fighting for.

You could have actually done some good here.

You could have stood with me.

But you let Red Rock infect you. So I did you a favor today.

I saved you from a disease.

Getting fired can be a beautiful thing, trust me.

Now you and I have that in common.

Hey.

Hang on tight, Dr. Hawkins. It's going to get

even uglier around here.

Trust me.

These were our colleagues and our friends.

Health care workers who died in the line of duty from COVID.

I hope we never have to put another face

or name on this memorial.

You know, I was with Nurse Garner

when he passed away.

Heartbreaking. Such a lovely man.

I-I had to go out and tell his enormous entourage...

Wife, kids, parents, siblings, friends... I...

It's a life cut short but certainly well-lived.

And you know, I don't know if I was

if I was feeling envy or... or jealousy,

but I-I mean, I just, I have to admit I

I wish I had even a small part of what he had.

In the very distant future, when you're on your deathbed,

I and every one of your friends here

who you haven't outlived

will be at your bedside.

Well, I appreciate it.

I've just come to regret some of the bridges I've burned,

the people I've hurt, that's all.

Figure out who's worth fighting for

to get back in your life and get after it already.

Sat's 85.

You're not getting enough oxygen. We need you

off the phone...

Senator Buxton, I'd like to put you on the phone

with one of your constituents. Her name is Bianca.

She is a hardworking young woman who can't afford childcare.

Yeah, tell her what you just told me.

Sat's down to 83.

Nichelle!

I don't feel right.

What's happening?

Devon?

Devon.

Devon, give me the mask.

Let's get another X-ray, okay?

She's a little wheezy. How about some nebs?

Mr. Mullins here came in with a few weeks of worsening dyspnea.

And look at this.

Right axis deviation. Right heart strain pattern.

And evidence of pulmonary hypertension on bedside echo.

Also complained of some dizziness,

so I sent him through the answer box, which...

Fine. CT scanner.
