- When I was on the COVID ward,

I felt like I was a part of something.

I'd like to feel that again.

- This study's exclusionary criteria

weed out a lot of patients.

I'd like to help.

- The transfer to Arizona came through.

- You can't just take Anna 1,000 miles away

without discussing it with me.

- Dad, I don't wanna go to Phoenix.

- We really wanna end up in court over this?

- I thought it was over for us today.

- Yeah. Me too.

- You're good to go, Dr. Halstead.

Booster in two weeks.

Thank you.

Will, morning.

Morning.

Thank you.

Pretty exciting day, huh?

I have to admit.

I got a little teary-eyed walking in here.

After all these months...

Yeah, I know.

Finally feels like we're approaching

the other side of this.

Dr. Virani?

And not a moment too soon.

Good morning, April.

Good morning.

Welcome back, Noah.

- Hey. - Missed you around here.

How was the research rotation?

You know, it wasn't too bad.

Kind of interesting actually.

- Uh-oh. We're losing him to the bench?

- Oh, no. I need him where I can see him.

So what's up with you?

Fresh cut, white coat.

Big promotion or a girl?

Neither.

I'm just trying to step it up a little bit.

Look a little more professional.

- He is the co-PI on a new clinical trial.

Okay, big time!

- I'll catch you two later. - Mm-hmm.

- Leaving the little people behind.

- And I thought I was the light sleeper.

Hey.

- So you slipped out on me this morning.

Didn't scare you off, did I?

- No. I had to come in early.

Catch up on some charting.

I thought you could use the rest.

My place tonight?

We'll see.

- Choi, Marcel, we got two victims incoming.

Elderly couple found unconscious in their home.

Both tested negative for COVID in the ambo.

- Phyllis Coleman, 68-year-old female.

Found pulseless at the scene.

Compressions started in the field.

3 rounds of epi in the ambo.

- We'll take her to 3. - Where's the husband?

Right behind me.

- James Coleman, 69-year-old male,

obtunded but rousable.

BP 128 over 78. Pulse 110.

- Any idea what knocked 'em both out?

- Gas leak. Home reeked of sulfur.

- Okay. What about this?

- Looks like he fell out of his chair

after he lost consciousness.

- Here we go. On my count.

One, two, three.

All right.

Lungs are clear.

Mr. Coleman, can you hear me?

- Maggie says you might need some help.

Wait. Is that Dr. Coleman?

- You know him? - Guy's a legend.

Founded the largest free clinic on the southside.

- That's right. Read about him in the "Trib."

- Dr. Marcel, he's barely protecting his airway.

- Sexton, set up a nasal airway.

Here we go.

Welcome back, Dr. Coleman.

- What's going on? Where am I?

- There was a gas leak in your home.

You and your wife were brought here.

- Phyllis! - Yes.

- Where is Phyllis? - She's here.

I just need you to relax for a moment.

Okay, no, no, no. I need you to lie back down.

Okay, listen.

Dr. Sexton's gonna go check on your wife, all right?

But I need you to stay calm for me.

- Um, what's Ms. Coleman's status?

- Couldn't revive her. She's gone.

I'm so sorry.

Phyllis! Me!

Take me! - Dr. Coleman, no--

All right, I need you to take a deep breath.

Sats are down to 88.

- Shouldn't his sats be coming up?

- Yeah. - Maybe he aspirated.

- Don't know. Something else is up.

All right, I'm intubating, let's go.

100 of sux, 20 of etomidate.

Come on! Laryngoscope!

.

Coffee for Charles.

At 5:00 this morning, right?

Will you leave it for a minute? I'm at work.

- Oh-- - I'm moving out.

Good morning.

Hey.

Ooh. You bought me a coffee.

Of course, I did.

They spelled your name wrong.

Daniel--

You stole somebody's coffee?

- I left him 5 bucks. He's an old friend of mine.

Well, at least it's the way I like it.

I guess it's your lucky day.

- Mm. Not so much.

Michael pissed me off this morning.

So now he's sour with me.

Been back to work one day.

He's already apartment hunting.

Huh.

- I told him--I said, "Stay put with me.

Build a little nest egg." You know?

He's been quarantining with me since March.

You know, what's a few more months?

What? - Well, I don't know.

I mean, he's a grown man, right?

It's probably a point of pride.

Please.

I know Michael. This is what he does.

He makes impulsive decisions.

I'm all for him getting back on his feet,

but the ground's got to be sturdy.

Fair enough.

Anyway, what's your day like?

Office hours?

- Yeah, and um, mediation with Susan.

You mean she's really serious

about taking Anna to Arizona with her?

Oh, she's serious.

- And how does-- how is Anna taking this thing?

I mean, parents at odds--

kids can feel like they have to pick sides.

I think she's fine.

Yeah.

She--she--she's fine.

- And what were you and lover boy

chatting about this morning?

- Crockett? - Yeah.

- I was just asking his advice on a patient.

Come here.

Okay.

I slept with him last night.

- Nat! How was it?

- It was good. It was fun.

Um, but before you say anything, okay,

I am under no illusions.

I know Crockett's reputation.

- I didn't think that was your vibe though.

- Well, it's not, but he's got like this...

- No! This other side to him.

All right, okay.

- Look--maybe I'm okay keeping it casual, all right?

Okay.

Anyway, enough about me.

How are you? How is Auggie?

- We're supposed to get his Heredity and Me results

back soon and see if he has any relatives

that are willing to donate.

- Man, that kid is so lucky to have you in his corner.

You know that, right?

You really are unshakeable, Mags.

Mm.

I got my highly encouraged AKA mandatory session

with Dr. Charles today.

- Mm. Fun.

Ugh.

Oh, Nat?

Be careful.

I don't wanna see you get hurt.

Thanks.

See, Mr. Booker.

I thought I told you you were not allowed back here.

Any excuse to see that smile.

- Mr. Booker was my patient in the COVID ward,

and he kicked COVID's ass.

So he's not going anywhere.

- Mr. Booker, hi. I'm Dr. Halstead.

So you're experiencing some shortness of breath?
