The Resident

- Previously on The Resident... - Randolph Bell.

- Will you marry me? - Thank God.

Because I can't return this.

Are you in love with Cade?

All I know is that whatever I feel

only goes so far, and then the walls come up.

Maybe you just need a little push.

It's like he wants to relive

what happened to Nic and rewrite the ending.

I wish we could rewrite our ending.

Your father's here.

Just flew in from Seattle.

Hey, Molly. Look at you, getting out of here.

Yep. Thanks for all the fun books, Doc Sullivan.

-How's your daughter? -On the mend at last.

Morris, what's happening?

Just you, Doc. Rocking that suit.

Laura, good morning.

-Morning, Doc. -Has anyone ever told you

you look like Sophia Loren?

Only you. But that's okay.

I got this twinge driving me crazy.

I think I pulled a muscle

playing a ferocious pickleball game.

You think maybe you could find me a muscle relaxer?

Uh, you know I can't do that.

But I've got some ibuprofen in my purse if you would like...

Gives me a stomachache.

I'll get a massage later, tough it out till then.

Good morning, love. How we feeling today?

Hi, Dad. Conrad's just finishing up his examination.

-What's the good word, Dr. Hawkins? -Hey.

CBC and 'lytes are stable,

one low-grade fever controlled with meds

and you are getting your color back.

She's doing really well.

Next step, get her out of bed, up and moving.

She's just being a little stubborn.

I think I know what that problem is.

There's no longer a guard outside the door.

I know they caught the men who tried to kill me.

I understand, intellectually,

but I just, I don't want to leave this room.

Totally normal PTSD.

You'll beat it.

I miss that feisty girl with the chip on her shoulder.

Yeah.

I'd love to see you do a walk around the unit today.

With a walker, someone by your side to make you feel safe.

Come on, Cade. You and me.

Once around the unit, like when you were a kid.

Even better.

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the attention,

but who are you again?

I practically raised myself.

This guy was always at the hospital.

-And now... -You're his patient.

-Bingo. -Who doesn't love being psychoanalyzed

by two totally unqualified people?

A gift. To soothe your belly.

Banana pudding?

Are you trying to kill me?

I'm allergic.

I almost died when I was four. Remember?

I thought that was strawberries.

My apology. I'm gonna go

to the cafeteria right now and I'll be back

with the best chocolate pudding in the house.

Then we walk.

-Your father, he's... -He's a mixed blessing.

He's a god to his patients and himself.

You know who really loves banana pudding?

Him.

Story of my life.

Marco Anza, 14-year-old male, syncopal episode.

History of osteogenesis imperfecta.

Hey, Marco, my name is Dr. Feldman.

-Can you tell me what happened? I fell off

my neighbor's bike.

My mom's gonna kill me.

She followed the ambulance. She'll be here any minute.

All right, we got you, buddy. On my count.

One, two, three.

I'm not supposed to bike.

I got dizzy and everything went black

and that's when I fell...

He's in V tach.

Go get a crash cart and Dr. Austin.

Thready pulse.

Prepare to do chest compressions if he codes.

I'm his mother. Uh, no CPR. His-his bones break

with the slightest pressure, he has osteogenesis imperfecta.

-Where's that crash cart? Right here.

All right, I'll get these pads on him

and you charge to 200.

Uh, Doctor, please don't let my baby die.

Please, God, please, please.

All right, clear.

Sinus tach at 110.

All right.

He's okay, Mom. He's stable.

Thank you. Thank you.

That was terrifying.

I don't understand. Why did his heart stop?

It didn't. It went into a dangerous rhythm,

and now we have to figure out why.

Marco.

Honey, it's Mom. Talk to me.

Please, talk to me, honey.

My back really hurts.

- What'd he say? - His back hurts.

Another possible injury from the fall?

He could have broken anything.

It's exactly why he's never supposed to be on a bicycle.

Answer box.

Yeah. All right, people.

Let's get this young man ready for X-ray and CT.

Are you back at work, Albert?

Yeah, just in time for the midterms,

much to the chagrin of my students.

I'm sure they are thrilled to have you back.

Well, they did make a TikTok video

reciting the periodic table while twerking.

I suppose that's their version of a "Get well soon" card.

That is something that I'd like to see.

And there's something that I want to show you.

These are your lungs.

Do you notice anything different?

This is what they looked like before.

- No tumors. - That's right.

If I didn't know you entered our clinical trial

with advanced lung cancer, I'd say that these are the lungs

of a completely healthy man.

Okay, wait, wait. Complete remission?

-Yeah, man. -Oh, my gosh.

Thank you.

Thank you, Dr. Pravesh.

I know this trial was brutal, but it worked.

Yeah and the science.

The science.

You found answers.

More people will benefit, right?

Now call Grace, and give her the good news.

Okay, here's my idea.

We got four marriages between us.

Do we really need a ceremony?

I mean, we could elope.

Just you, me, a justice of the peace,

followed by a wild honeymoon

at the destination of your choice.

I'm sorry.

I was told that you wanted to see me?

Yes, please.

We both do. Please, come in.

Yeah, and congratulations

on your incredibly successful clinical trial.

And the rabies protocol with Conrad.

We are so proud of you.

Especially since you trained here at Chastain.

What she's really saying is she's terrified.

And we don't want to lose you.

Dare I ask?

Are you being courted by the great research hospitals

of the world?

Actually, yes.

Baltimore Hospital of Advanced Sciences is flying me up today.

We will match any offer.

Thank you. But there is no official offer to match,

and money is not the only factor.

There are... um, issues here.

Personal ones, I imagine.

Yes.

-We're rooting for you and Leela. -Thank you.

I appreciate that.

Uh, I almost forgot.

Congratulations on your, on your engagement.

-Thank you. -Thanks.

Oh, the poor guy.

You know, his career is accelerating like a Ferrari,

and, you know, all he can think of is the empty passenger seat.

Thank you. Okay, I better go.

I got a crazy day.

There have got to be over 200 healed fractures here.

It's no wonder his mother's so protective.

Osteogenesis imperfecta is a brutal disease.

Every time your kid stumbles, a bone can break.

And bone pain is terrible.

-You ever broken any? -Lucky for me, only one.

- Proximal humerus. - How?

Oh, that's a long story involving a skateboard ramp

and a very dumb teenage AJ.

And a cat.

Don't ask.

Well, there's a new spinal fracture, T11-T12,

likely from the fall, but we can fix that.

But what concerns me the most is the restrictive cardiomyopathy.

With the severity of his pectus excavatum,

his rib cage is almost strangling his heart.

-The Ravitch procedure? -Yeah.

Break the bones of his sternum and reset them to make room
