Hawthorne

I need your vacancies so I can bring some peds cases up

And give Gail some breathing room.

We're full.

What do you mean, you're full? When did that happen?

We got two admits last night on the night shift. Who?

Good morning, John.

Easy for you to say. Are the twins here?

Yes, the night-shift admits.

They're in room 737, Gretchen and grace Breton...

9 years old,

Both suffering from polycystic kidney disease.

One's suffering from edema.

The other had shortness of breath.

And they both need dialysis.

Identical twins in need of kidney transplant.

They've been waiting for over a year.

They already have one match, the brother.

Two little girls and one kidney?

It's an impossible choice.

You're damn right.

How's a mother supposed to choose

Which daughter she's gonna save?

Anything you can do to make them more comfortable,

I appreciate it.

Comfortable, okay.

I'm putting you and Tom on point.

Let me know if there's anything you need.

Okay.

Kelly, I'm gonna need your help with this. Yeah, no problem.

All right.

Hey.

How's your arm?

It's healing up nicely.

Any pain?

No.

What's Dr. Danee say?

That it's all looking really good.

Listen, um...

I don't think Camille's gonna be home tonight.

I thought maybe we could watch a movie...

"Mr. Smith goes to Washington."

You know how much I love Claude rains.

I wanted to get married, not watch a movie.

We... we really should see this family.

And it's another king.

Hello. Hi, I'm Dr. Wakefield.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

I'm Christina Hawthorne, director of nursing.

Hi. Hi.

Hello.

Okay. I'm gonna put on my thinking cap, okay?

No, I have not missed a name in 20 years.

All right, here we go.

Hmm.

Gretchen, grace.

I'm Gretchen.

I'm grace.

Ooh, I was this close.

Should we step outside?

Have you found a donor?

I've had so many of these conversations.

There are no secrets here.

And we've heard all the speeches, and we know the stats.

We're gonna do everything we can for your family.

We're gonna make your stay here as comfortable as possible.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

All right, girls, we'll see you later, okay?

all right, your move.

So, I checked the registry.

It's a nine-month wait for a kidney.

Oh, it'll be a little crazier up here than I thought.

True wishes project is sending this basketball player, Dwyane Wade,

Up to meet one of our patients... Brian.

And who's covering Brian?

I am.

You know what? You got your hands full with the twins.

Malia, do me a favor. Cover Brian for her?

Oh, yeah, Brian. He's my favorite.

Thanks.

Uh, hey, what can I help with?

Hey, you know what?

Why don't you help Kelly with her family?

They're gonna need as much attention as possible.

Yeah, I could use the help.

So stick close to Kelly and do as she says.

You know me.

I do know you.

That's why I'm saying

Stick close to Kelly and do as she says.

Gloria is the contact person at true wishes.

That's her number.

Dwyane doesn't have a lot of time,

So I really need you to stay on top of that.

Yeah, you talk to me

Like I'm incapable of doing anything right.

It's really starting to irritate me.

It's just like a p.R. Job, basically.

Yeah. That's my forte.

So you need to greet dwyane,

Make sure he knows where he's going,

Make sure Brian has the time of his life, the whole thing.

Can you handle that?

Yeah, I've hung out with celebrities before. It's no big deal.

Call Gloria if you have any questions.

All right, you ready to help me out?

Can't I just stay here?

I-I'm not really good with kids.

What if I say the wrong thing?

You can't.

You just have to say what you feel

And make sure they know it's gonna be okay.

You'll do great.

Don't panic. Let's go.

She'll be here soon. Mama.

Yeah, baby doll?

How are we doing in here?

Her catheter's irritating her.

Okay, I'll take care of that right away.

Hey, sweetie, let me see.

Okay.

My dad was white, too.

You know, it's tough being biracial...For transplants.

You know, it's hard to get a donor.

Lots of minorities don't want to donate

Given our history with the healthcare system.

But we're still hanging on.

God has a plan for us.

Right, babies?

Gretchen should be fine now,

So if you need anything else, just call.

So, Gretchen will get this kidney?

Yeah, that's the plan.

But if grace is so sick, then doesn't she need it more?

Well, grace is in respiratory distress.

So, in her state, the chances of rejection are higher,

So the surgery's a higher risk for her.

Uh, I don't know.

It...Doesn't feel right.

Well, we're still looking for a match for grace, you know.

What if you don't find one?

Let's just take one step at a time.

Let's take care of you and Gretchen first, okay?

Take both of my kidneys.

Well, we... we can't do that.

No, take them both.

Keep me on dialysis.

I-I'll wait for a donor.

Michael, it doesn't work like that.

I can handle it. I can handle it.

But they have been through so much.

So go ahead. Take them both.

You can't put all of this on yourself, you know.

Trust me.

We will do absolutely everything we can

For both of them.

You'll be there, right?

You'll make sure Gretchen's okay?

Well, I'm not really performing

That many surgeries these days,

But, yeah, I'll be there.

And I'll make sure they get it right.

Where the hell is Kelly?

Ugh.

A prosthetic leg? Really?

I hadn't noticed that.

you are so full of it.

Can I ask you, um, how you lost it?

Joyriding on my brother's motorcycle.

I was 17.

I thought you said you only had a sister.

I don't like to talk about it.

You two can pick the bugs out of each other's fur

After hours.

We're shorthanded today.

Uh, Gail?

This man's here about donating a kidney.

You sure he's got the right hospital?

Is this about the twins up on peds?

Hospital escort to outpatient surgery.

Hospital escort to outpatient surgery.

Hey, Bobbie, what are all these people doing here?

Potential donors.

Marcus, do we have any extra rooms to draw blood?

I don't have room for my patients. He's secondary.

Secondary?

E.R. Stands for emergency room.

The lab techs can't handle this load.

Those people are gonna have

To get their blood drawn someplace else.

Come here, sir.

Here.

Sit right here.

I'll have somebody with you in a second, okay?

Bobbie, how did all these people get here?

The Internet.

Uh, you didn't see?

See what?

Your girl did you proud.

Excuse me?
