Brilliant Minds

Previously on "Brilliant Minds"...

I want to make sure that when patients come into our hospital,

they have someone who has

the patient's best interests at heart.

I did report Dr. Pierce, but she and I... we cleared the air.

Can we do the same? - No.

I'm pretty sure we said we wouldn't do this at work.

And I'm pretty sure you're the one who started it.

- Josh? - Oh.

I want the fancy apartment, the nursery, the sleepless nights.

I don't think you know who you want it with.

Where is it? Sofia's file.

What, are you hiding it from me, or... or...

Where is it? - You made up a patient

you could save. - It is my job to keep you safe

and direct your course of treatment, motivated by...

Your patients' deep pockets.

Hudson Oaks isn't the problem. You are.

On my watch, Dr. Wolf stays on as head of neuro.

And if my stance costs me the role of chief, so be it.

Oliver, you have a visitor.

What's on the agenda?

What's the first thing you want to do?

I want to get Josh back.

New habits are hard to form.

It's said it takes just 21 days for one to set.

change happens almost immediately.

Synapses alter within minutes of a new behavior.

recognize and expect the new behavior,

even as we struggle to weave this new normal

into our daily routines.

After weeks, the brain's structure changes,

But even though the brain has adjusted to this change,

our bodies need time to catch up.

Yes, I bake now.

Dr. Adler suggested I pick up a new hobby.

- Mm. - Hey.

You'll get yours tomorrow. These are for Hector and Otto.

I'm dropping them by Hudson Oaks on my way to work.

It's a shame Hector's still in there.

He was on track to be discharged.

I'll have to go check on him.

So, how you feeling about going back to work?

-Oh, ready. Um, finally starting

to feel like myself again. - Well, I'm proud of you, Wolf.

It's not easy re-entering the world after something like this.

And it's normal to be nervous.

Oh, no. Uh, it's not that.

It's Josh.

I keep thinking about him coming to visit me.

And he's checked in with me since I've been out.

It seems like he still has feelings.

But what if he doesn't?

What if he just feels bad for me?

What if... - What if you just ask him?

- You're right. - I'm always right.

Tell me what's going on at the hospital.

What did I miss? - Uh, Kinney's still

little Ms. Do It All.

Porter's been on his best behavior

ever since your mother put the fear of God into him.

Uh, Silva thinks the hyperbaric chamber is haunted,

but he won't go into details. Oh, and...

...Thorne and I are sleeping together.

Carol...

...how absolutely dare you not tell me that?

Well, you literally had a mental breakdown.

- That is no excuse. - Besides, it's been fun

having this dirty little secret.

So...

is it good?

Oh, honey.

Come on, chica.

You gonna order or what? - Yo, bro, I love you,

but don't rush me, yeah?

Um, yeah, I'll have a small coffee.

And no bottom grounds. Your girl wants a fresh pot.

- I got you. - I can only get two!

Get your own!

It's gonna be $4 even.

$4 for a small cup of coffee?

What do I look like, a tourist?

Best prices in the city these days.

You living under a rock?

Yo, I asked for a small coffee.

You're giving me a Big Gulp. - You ordered a small.

I gave you a small. Give me a break, lady!

Next.

-Yeah, can I get a cappuccino? Um...

- Morning, Dr. Wolf. - Hey, there he is!

- Welcome back. - Welcome back, Dr. Wolf.

Hey, what do you got there?

Oh, I baked these last night.

Just a small thank-you to the department

for holding down the fort in my absence.

- You want one? - Oh!

- Mmm! - Oh!

- Mmm. So good. - Wow.

Oh, they're blueberry. So...

- Mmm. - Yeah.

- Catch me up. - We've been busy.

Several new admits this morning, and we have

the files here for you. - I would call your attention

to Mr. Alberghetti in room 303

with Refractory Status Epilepticus.

We have him on a midazolam drip and high-dose Levetiracetam.

And then there's also Mrs. Smith in 305 with GBS...

her paralysis seems to have plateaued,

but we're checking forced vitals every six hours.

- You ordered a lot of tests. - Dr. Kinney did not want

to risk missing a single thing.

I just wanted everything to run smoothly

while you were gone.

Oh, we have one good candidate for discharge...

Mr. Miller in 315.

His pain levels are way down today.

Well, that sounds promising.

Oh, um...

keep up the good work.

How did he seem to you?

Like he's suddenly BFFs with Charlie but still hates my guts.

I just want Dr. Wolf to know we have it under control.

I mean, we're about to be residents.

But was I doing too much?

Oh, yeah. Probably.

Seriously?

Wolf.

Hi.

It's great to see you back at work.

Um...

Uh, d-did you bake these?

-Yes. I figured I would

return the favor from when you brought me bagels.

Oh. Mmm.

Oh, yeah, these are tasty.

You know, I'll save the rest for later.

I wanted to say thank you for visiting me at Hudson Oaks.

I'm sorry for everything that happened before my episode.

I know I put undue strain on our friendship,

and I was a problem for you here at work.

You don't have anything to apologize for.

Would you want to grab dinner?

Dinner as in, um...

As in, a dinner party.

You and Carol and me and others.

I'll cook for everyone.

Bring Beau.

- Obviously. - Okay.

Um, you cook now? - Yes.

Um...

I am needed in the ED.

Sorry.

Hi.

Yeah, absence does not make the heart grow fonder in the ED.

Welcome back.

Tell me what it was like in there. Quiet?

No festering wounds? No faint smell of urine?

Peaceful. Serene.

It would be art therapy right now.

Man, I'd kill for some art therapy time.

Dr. Wolf, I-I didn't realize you'd been paged down, too.

We can obviously handle this if you want to have...

- I'm good. - I have anxious parents

demanding to see the best neurologist we got.

So I'm sending all the neurologists we got.

Down here, we're just gonna throw Wolf to the wolves

on his first day back. Good luck, Doc.

So, I've been texting with, um...

with my mom group, and they have some theories.

There's this case in Alabama,

a brain tumor, uh, that started as...

Why don't we start with our names?

-Um, I'm Fox. Uh, this is my partner, Greer.

And this is the light of our life, Sage.

Her cry is softer than usual. And she's constipated.

I recently went back to work,

but we gave very specific instructions to the daycare

to track her poops on the app.

Is it possible that something could have

happened to her there, maybe... - Better to let us

do our assessment without outside theories.

You really are in the best hands,

especially now that Dr. Wolf's back.

Back from where?

Oh, I was on a short leave for a stay

in a psychiatric facility, but I am quite ready

to be practicing medicine again.

- Like a mental hospital? - Okay.

How long have you been constipated?

This all started three days ago.

Well, this could be benign changes

related to her normal growth patterns

and new environment at the daycare.

But, Dr. Kinney, Dr. Porter, let's do

a full workup on Sage to make sure

we're not missing anything.

Please just continue to stay calm.

I am almost finished. Okay.

No, Grandpa, not you. No, no, no.

Not you. Here.
