.

- You're on my team, that's all.

It's better this way.

Not the way I see it.

- She's been you therapist for years, what happened?

- I thought what I missed was the work.

Maybe what I really miss is you.

- Exposing the abuse of the Vas-COM was brave.

- The Vas-COM business, playing nice with the enemy,

it sucked, but I needed to protect patients.

- Turns out whistleblowers are entitled to a reward.

How about that?

- Wait, so Vasik settled with the Feds?

- Well, there's still some state and criminal cases

going forward, but from our position--

It's over, Will.

But as whistleblowers,

you and Ms. Goodwin are entitled

to a percentage of the settlement.

- What are we-- what are we talking about?

- You've each been awarded $1.2 million.

1.2?

Oh...

What does that even mean?

I know it's a lot to take in,

but news like this is a great opportunity

for you and the hospital.

- Sharon Goodwin's volunteered to gift her entire settlement

to Gaffney's charitable foundation.

Insisted, really.

Now, there's no pressure, but I'm putting together

a little press event for the end of the day

to officially announce the donation,

and it'd be even more impactful if you were a part of it.

As Mrs. Goodwin said, she didn't do it for the money.

I'm sure the same is true for you.

- I-I didn't even know there'd be money.

- You know, you'd really be sending

a very strong message to your colleagues, Will.

- Right. - So what do you say?

Can we take that as a "yes"?

It's feeling like a "yes".

Okay.

You're doing the right thing.

Truly--thank you.

Yeah.

All right.

Dr. Scott? Baghdad.

30-something female. Truck hit a patch of black ice.

Clipped her motorcycle.

- Vitals stable the whole time, but positive LOC.

GCS 14.

Helmet was cracked but cleared her C-spine in the field.

- Got it for you right here. - Got a name?

- Not that we could get out of her;

she's intermittently responsive.

On my count--one, two, three.

Get her up on the monitors.

You're gonna be okay, all right?

I'm Dr. Scott. what's your name?

Right side is clear.

Left side's a bit muffled, but...

Bilateral, best I can tell.

Looks like there's a deformity

in the left shoulder, possible dislocation.

Let's get a chest X-ray.

Hey, hon?

I'm gonna take your bag, okay? - No.

- We can't take a picture of what's going on

with you clutching it like that.

- I promise we'll take good care of it, all right?

- No. - It's okay.

- See if Maggie can get any ID, maybe an emergency contact.

Yeah.

X-ray clear.

- There's a small pneumothorax on the left,

but that left shoulder is definitely dislocated.

Let's pop it back in and send her down to CT

for a pan scan, all right?

Four of morphine, two of Versed.

All right, now, we're gonna relocate your shoulder.

It's gonna hurt for a few seconds,

but it'll be over before you know it.

It's back in.

Let's get her another X-ray and get her over to CAT scan.

You did great.

Hey, Mags, you found an ID yet? - Mm-hmm.

Milena Jovanovic. 28 years old.

Touch what's in the bag yet?

No, why?

What are you doing? We already have her ID.

Maggie...

I think our girl Milena might be a drug dealer.

.

- Abby Carpenter? I'm Dr. Vanessa Taylor.

What brings you in today?

- Mites. I've been infested. I can't stop itching.

- Okay, can you remove your suit so I can take a look

at what we're talking about?

It's been over a year now.

I've tried everything, but they won't stop biting.

Oh, you shaved your head...

- Yeah, I--I had to, they were multiplying.

And it's been getting worse.

I think they've started laying eggs beneath my skin.

- You definitely did the right thing by coming in today.

Your skin is definitely infected.

But, uh, I'm not seeing any mites.

Yeah, they're so small

they're invisible to the naked eye.

Here.

I found this larva last night.

- Thanks, I'll have the lab check it out.

Let's start a line, hang a liter of saline

and give her 600mg of clindamycin IV, okay?

- Okay. - What's that for?

It's an antibiotic.

I'm afraid you might be septic,

so it's just to be on the safe side.

- Okay, fine, but you need to give me

something to get rid of the mites.

I'll do the best I can.

I'll be back. - Okay.

Have the lab take a look at this.

And lets grab a CBC, BMP, blood glucose,

and a tox screen.

And, uh, lets page Dr. Charles.

Yeah.

What are you thinking?

Probably heroin.

Quarter key, straight off the brick--

still compressed, hasn't been cut with anything,

but impossible to tell without testing.

What do we know about Milena? - Nothing.

I tried to pull up her medical records,

but there was no history.

It's like she's a ghost.

- I'ma call my sister. - No, you can't do that.

I can't ignore this.

- By law, you shouldn't have kept digging around

in her bag after we ID'd her.

I don't know, Dylan.

It feels like you're mixed up and you don't know

what uniform you're wearing.

- All right, all right. I'll stand down.

Okay, but let's not be

in a rush to give this back just yet.

Everything okay?

I'm fine.

I mean, not really, but sorry to bother you.

Not a bother.

I'm Dr. Halstead, let me know if you need anything--

Deep breaths.

In through your nose, out through your mouth.

Okay, I'm gonna examine your belly, all right?

- I thought at first, they were just wedding jitters,

but those don't usually land you in the hospital, I assume.

- Not typically; has anyone seen you yet?

- Dr. Archer said it's a bowel dilation caused

by some kind of infection?

- Diverticulitis--antibiotics should clear that up.

Okay.

When's the wedding?

Next weekend.

I wanted to do it in City Hall,

but Adam insisted on something grander.

Now it's up to 500 guests, and my mother-in-law

booked the entire Shedd Aquarium for the night.

Very generous of her.

- Yeah, well, that's Janice for you.

Everything's gotta be perfect.

She's going to blow a fuse when she finds out

I'll be walking down the aisle with her son

with an ostomy bag under my dress.

- Dr. Archer's recommending surgery?

- He said it's the only option I had.

So you just signed it over?

The whole enchilada?

What are doing-- trying to fast-track

your application to sainthood?

You're crazy.

- Please, people are making too much of it.

I want to hear about you. What's going on with Lonnie?

- Well, as you know, the State Psychiatry Board

frowns on therapists having any kind of romantic relations

with their patients, and vice versa,

for at least a year after their last session,

and it's only been ten months, so, not a whole lot.

That's soon enough. What happens now?

- It's actually kinda weird, right?

It's awkward, I-- last time I saw her,

I put something out there,

and I haven't heard anything back.

It'd been like a week.

- Well, keep me in the loop 'cause you know

I live vicariously through you.

- You know I will. - Okay.

- So patient in six, you're thinking

delusional parasitosis?

- I found no evidence of parasites.
