Private Practice

I'm here, I'm here. You paged me?

Why do you have this baby in my hospital?

It's Lucas. Pete's son. He had a child remember? You were there.

- Why do you have that baby here? - He is taking over for Naomi, she's out of town.

- You paged 911, I was looking after Lucas.

The nanny is meeting me here and he meant it.

Now, come on, what is up?

Kayla Lindy, the coma mama.

Her husband's bringing in the big guns.

- Who is big guns? - Dr. Ginsberg.

*** Dr. Ginsberg?

He wants her to wake if wife up from the coma.

You gonna keep playing mommy, or you gonna get in there?

Okay. Here. Take the baby.

Take the baby, Charlotte.

Take the baby. Okay?

Yeah. The nanny will be here in about ten minutes, okay?

Here you go. Take it.

Ooh. Be good.

Hello.

I'm Charlotte.

Please don't drool on me.

And then drew got a triple, slid into third

and scraped the hell out of his ankle, but you know drew.

He didn't care. You'd have been really proud of him. Hey.

So... Dr. Montgomery's here.

And Dr. Ginsberg will be here any minute now.

I know you think she can't hear me,

but, uh... maybe she can.

A-and when Dr. Ginsberg gets here and wakes her up,

I just want her to know that...

I didn't give up on her.

Eddie, I need to talk to you.

Dr. Ginsberg is an extremely accomplished neurosurgeon,

but Kayla has been...

She's been in a coma for six weeks.

I just don't want you to get your hopes up.

Did you know Ginsberg revived a patient

who was comatose for 17 years? I'll get my miracle.

We'll get our miracle. I mean, she's gonna wake up.

- I don't know why you have to be so negative. - Eddie...

Why can't you just believe?

I'm sorry.

It's just, uh...

I unplugged the love of my life, and she didn't die.

She didn't die.

That's gotta mean something, you know? And...

I'm Dr. Ginsberg. This is my team.

- Which one are you? - Oh. Hello.

- Dr. Montgomery or Dr. King? - Dr. Montgomery. Pleasure to meet you.

And this is Eddie Lindy, Kayla's husband.

- Thank you so much for coming all this way. - I prefer that family members wait outside

during the diagnostic process.

- Dr. Ginsberg... - No, no, it's, uh, that's fine.

Whatever it takes.

Okay, uh, patient is Kayla Lindy, 32 years of age,

surrogate mother pregnant with triplets.

During the pregnancy, complications led to a pulmonary...

I'm familiar with the file.

All right.

I'm gonna need a complete exam along with a repeat E.E.G.,

an M.R.I. and a cerebral blood flow study.

Come on. Go, people. Go.

Oh, so nice of you to join us, Dr. Shepherd.

I assume you didn't plan on making a decision

without reviewing the radionuclide cisternogram.

Amy?

Hey... Addie.

So long time no see.

You two know each other?

Yes. Uh, yes. I... I was married to her brother.

Ah.

Don't worry.

Ginsberg is a beast, but she's also a genius.

Amy, why didn't you tell me you were coming?

What, and spoil the surprise?

- You knew I was here? - Your name is all over Kayla's records.

Amy...

Uh, Amelia.

Derek is the only one who calls me Amy these days.

Amelia... but Derek didn't tell me

that you were one of Ginsberg's fellows.

Shocker.

Did he, uh, did he even tell you that I went into neurosurgery?

Is that the Geraldine Ginsberg?

My God.

Sam Bennett. You stayed hot.

Amelia Shepherd?

Well, the last time I saw you, you were, like, 14 years old.

- What happened? - Now she is a fancy neurosurgeon.

Oh! There you are. Take your kid. Oh.

- Nanny was a no-show. - Oh, what is it?

I have to get to the office. He spit up on me.

Oh. I'm sending you a dry cleaning bill.

Okay, apparently there are a lot of things

- that Derek does not say. - Oh, no, no, no. He's... he's not mine.

He's, uh, he's my boyfriend's son.

Dr. Shepherd.

Uh, duty calls. We will talk later.

I missed you guys.

See you later.

Hurricane Amelia made good.

What kind of family is it where the black sheep ends up being a neurosurgeon?

Wow.

- Huh? Oh, what? Huh? - How you doing, buddy?

Are you gonna be a doctor, too?

Is that what you're talking about? Huh?

- Yeah, that's Sam. That's Sam. I think you are. - You're so good with him.

Thank you. Listen, I gotta get him back to the nanny.

- Can you, um, tell Ginsberg I'll be right back? - Mm-hmm. Yeah. All right.

Say bye-bye. Say bye-bye.

See you later, buddy?

Bye. Say bye-bye. Bye. Okay.

If she can help her...

I know it's asking a lot.

But... anything's possible, right?

Wait. You know this isn't your fault?

Look. Hey, look at me.

Look at me.

This is not your fault.

It is.

But thank you for saying it isn't.

Oh, Charlotte. Good. I'm glad you're here.

I... I can't do the sex ed seminar

- at the retirement home tonight. - You are not bailing on me?

Uh, well, not by choice.

I have a patient. We're doing an intervention.

- It's a thing. You know, I'm sorry. - Great. What am I supposed to do about the male point of view?

Well, actually, I have a pitch for that.

You know, uh, what about Cooper?

No.

He's great with people.

- He's great with 5 year olds. - Come on, Charlotte.

You've been sitting on your hands for a month now.

How do you expect to win him back

- if you don't just reach out there? - Who said I wanted to win him back?

You are never gonna have what you really want

if you don't put yourself out there and go for it.

You really do give crappy advice.

No, actually, I'm kinda... brilliant.

Application for the FDA approval

for the next stage of my A.L.S. study.

Naomi usually reviews the data before we submit it,

but with her gone and leaving you in charge, it's your job now.

Oh, thanks. Looks like a fun read.

Being in charge is not my idea of fun.

I mean, I'm glad that William finally told her about his A.L.S.,

but I didn't know she was gonna run off to Switzerland to be with him.

Any word from them?

I heard from Naomi a few days ago.

I guess he hasn't seen any improvement.

- Did Naomi say when, uh, they're planning on coming back? - No.

Then move that to the top of the pile so they have a reason to.

It's a little out of my wheelhouse, don't you think?

Actually, they're not all that different from horny teenagers.

They got too much time on their hands,

minimal supervision, almost zero regard

for the consequences of reckless sexual behavior.

- Grannies gone wild. - It's a real problem, Cooper.

S.T.Ds are spreading through the elder care community like a brush fire.

The women can't get pregnant.

The men are all hopped up on P. D.E.5 inhibitors.

Everybody's screwing everybody else.

Nobody's taking any precautions.

As much fun as that sounds, it's old people, Charlotte.

I'm a pediatrician.

I need a man.

A male.

Oh.

The male residents are often uncomfortable

- broaching sexual matters with female medical staff. - Why me?

I'm coming to you as a physician,

a fellow partner of this medical practice.

Put away your fear of age spots. Help me out.

Kayla's repeat E.E.G. shows diffuse slowing

consistent with a permanent vegetative state.

Surgery won't help.

Kayla is not a viable candidate.

I'm sorry, Eddie.

There must... must be something else you can at least try.

She can't just... stay like this.

I'm afraid I can't help.

What about cannulating the aqueduct of Sylvius?

- Passing a stent to drain the fluid buildup? - Dr. Shepherd.

Her C.S.F. studies show a slowing of flow,

not a complete obstruction. It could work.

- You know how to wake her? - No, she doesn't.

She's referring to an experimental procedure that has shown very little success,

- and in your wife's case, it will not work. - I assisted in two of the procedures...

- Now is not the time to bring it up. - So do it or don't, but don't say that it can't work.

- Amelia... - This procedure is a bad idea.

- If she thinks that it can work, then we sh... - She is a teaching fellow who is not qualified to make this call.

I graduated top of my class at Harvard.

I did my residency at Johns Hopkins.

I have done dozens of procedures in the third ventricle.

- I am more than qualified. That's why you hired me. - Well, clearly I made a mistake. You're fired, Dr. Shepherd.

And it goes without saying that just because the risk of pregnancy is gone,

the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases isn't.

In fact, in a place of this size,

where many of you are so...
