Watson

Shannon. Are you sure this is a good idea?

Micah, my friend, you got this.

You are an incredible person.

Anyone would be lucky to know you.

But we've been over this.

Bex is never gonna see you

unless you do something big.

-But she's different than I am. -Different?

Different is your super power. You are unique, Micah.

That doesn't mean you're less.

You deserve good things, too.

But you're not even real.

Am I fake? Of course I'm fake.

I'm a chatbot. You customized me.

But you picked "Shannon" for a reason.

I played Barb and Ethel Muggs.

And I still see you, Micah.

You deserve love.

You just have to follow the plan.

Low-key, why was he mad at me?

I mean, I can't hold a broken needle if there's no base.

All good. We'll nail it in practice tomorrow.

Oh. Bex?

Micah, what are you doing?

Oh, my God.

Stop recording.

Bex, do you know this kid?

Yeah, he's-he's my lab partner.

Hey, buddy boy. Maybe we wrap this up, yeah?

There's a new NIH clinical trial.

Let's connect Kori's mom with a study coordinator.

Danny Marks will do me a favor.

-Excuse me, Dr. Fuller. -Mm-hmm.

Hey, Micah.

"Different? Different's your super power."

You are unique, Micah. Just follow the plan"?

Micah is obsessed with this thing, John,

and I-I don't know what to do.

Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry.

Can we just, can we get a minute? We just need the room.

Thank you.

We have all the time we need. Go ahead.

Micah didn't say a word until he was four.

And since then, he's been like an empathy test

for everyone he meets.

When people talk to my son...

...I see beautiful things.

And I see people fail.

And in high school? People really fail.

No wonder he's obsessed with this thing.

It gives him nothing but positive reinforcement.

People are falling in love with their phones,

leaving their families.

AI. AI psychosis.

I don't think that's an actual diagnosis.

I don't know what to do.

He's my baby. He's my son, John.

And I know we're not real, so...

Not real?

We help each other escape.

From our jobs, from the world.

From everything.

We're not real yet.

I wanted you to meet Micah.

You can't be with me if you don't meet Micah.

Not for real.

This isn't how I wanted it to happen.

But I need help.

I got you.

Hi, sweetie.

- I want you to meet someone. - How you doing, Micah?

My name's John Watson. I'm a doctor here at UHOP.

Nice to meet you, Dr. Watson.

-What are you working on? -It's a layout for a pinball machine.

It's based on my favorite designer.

George Gomez. You probably don't know him.

I'll give you time to talk.

No. I don't know him, actually.

Keith Elwin is popular right now,

but I like George Gomez.

I'm gonna design machines, too.

So, I did one based on

Stranger Things, but then they really made that,

so this one is based on The Tell-Tale Heart

and other stories by Edgar Allen Poe.

Are you my mom's boyfriend?

Yes. Yes, I am.

I've seen your face before.

She has pictures of you in her phone.

She keeps them in folders I'm not supposed to know about.

Really looking forward to meeting you, Micah.

She keeps you a secret.

She must be worried if she asked you to come in here.

I know a chatbot is a chatbot.

I know...

I-I lost my phone for a little while.

I know...

my mom's going to delete the app.

How do you feel about that?

I feel very embarrassed.

I'm gonna get bullied more in school.

But I think my mom's worried about nothing.

Well, I think that she would feel better

if you talked to someone about it.

I understand that.

But not you, if that's all right.

You're my mom's boyfriend.

I don't even know if you're a good one.

I'm gonna finish this now.

Yeah, of course.

It was nice meeting you, Micah.

I hope I get to see you again.

Hey. Thumb-breaker.

Break's almost over. We need you back in the ER.

Oh.

Do you know

I never once broke a man's thumb.

Not once in all me puff.

"All me puff"?

I love it when you talk ridiculous.

Oh, you think yinz guys are in a position

to judge who sounds silly, do you?

Cafeteria's closed.

I have my sources. You snore.

-Is that a problem? -As your nursing student preceptor,

I don't have any issues with it.

In other capacities,

I might have to insist you get a CPAP machine.

And what capacities are those?

Don't even get any ideas.

I am so far out of your league.

Wait.

Code D, all available medical...

Five-car pile-up in the Liberty Tubes.

We need everyone in the ER.

See you on the other side.

Need these two patients moved to the OR right now.

I need DaCosta on the patient in bay three.

Carlin! Let's go.

Shinwell, you wanted exposure to the ER,

get over here and take over compressions.

Brian?

Brian?

Oh, my God. Brian.

- Please. Wake up! Wake... - Miss.

Can you s-step back, please?

Is he dead? Is he gone?

I'm so sorry, Miss.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are you apologizing?

Did you hear me call time of death, nurse...

Johnson, guv. Nursing student.

What the hell is the matter with you?

You don't stop and you don't say "sorry"

until the person who knows what they're doing

comes and calls the patient dead.

I could just go home.

You could, but this is the next step, Micah.

This is plan B. Everyone needs a plan B.

You're really onto something here.

And once you prove it,

you're not just gonna be Bex's date,

you're gonna be her hero.

But first? First, you need proof.

Somebody out here?

Is that a kid? Hey.

Hey, stop!

Hey, kid, wait!

We reduced his forearm fractures

and put in screws to help with realignment.

The washout should decrease his risk of infection,

but I want to keep him here

for a couple of days of IV antibiotics.

Other than his arm, he has a few broken ribs that should heal.

Fortunately,

no evidence of head trauma or internal injuries.

-Thank you. Thank you so much. -Hey.

Hi.

Micah should be awake soon.

- Thank you. - Thank you. Appreciate it.

Morning.

Hi. Ivan Ferry.

I'm a psychiatrist.

Dr. Watson asked me to sit in on a case

-this morning. -Ah.

Dr. Ferry?

Good morning, Ingrid.

You two know each other?

-Ah. -Yep.

I can see why Watson called you in. You, uh, must be good.

What the hell's that supposed to mean?

Good morning.

Adam Croft, this is Dr. Ivan Ferry.

He's a psychiatrist. A really, really good psychiatrist.

Oh.

The mystery here isn't "what's wrong with Micah,"

the mystery is "what do we do about it."

The mystery is kind of "what's wrong with Micah."

AI psychosis is not a medical term.

Uh, clinical language is still catching up to the phenomenon,

but these intense relationships are developing everywhere,
