The Good Doctor

Previously, on The Good Doctor...

You work together and you are sleeping together.

You don't see any way that can go wrong?

You went out on a limb for me.

You fire me now, you look like a fool in front of the board.

Dr. Andrews, I don't think you have the votes to carry it.

But I don't need the votes.

Just as you have the power to fire someone

under your supervision, so do I.

Did you hear about Han?

Can't imagine Andrews will survive the fallout.

They're gonna need a new Chief of Surgery.

Aoki should be calling you with the offer any minute.

Here are flowers and chocolates.

Are you asking me out? Yes.

I would love to.

Why are you smiling?

I don't know.

I just... I wanted you to know that

things are okay.

Good.

I saw a movie last weekend.

Which one? Was it good?

What kind of movies do you like?

Oh. This looks delicious. Thank you.

I said no pickles.

It's okay. They can just take that off... I said no pickles.

Oh. I am so sorry.

I said no pickles.

(GRUNTS)

It was a disaster.

What happened?

Don't you all have work to do?

Sorry. We were just...

Shaun was on a date.

Hmm.

Congratulations on your promotion.

I believe you're our first female Chief of Surgery.

That's nice. Uh, thank you. Yes.

And you're still not working.

Not you.

We need to go to H.R. and break up.

We need a head CT and a trauma panel.

Please! Someone! Help my wife!

We've been married for 45 years.

Two children.

Eh, so far.

Oh, stop it.

Ricky and Tammy.

Ricky's got two kids of his own.

When did you first notice the pain?

This morning. No, on Saturday.

He has a history of kidney stones.

I try to get him to drink more water...

You "try"?

When did I ever say no to you?

It's probably another stone, but we'll do some imaging

to rule out anything more serious.

Oh, thank you.

Did you tell them about the kids?

We have two, you know.

So far. (CHUCKLES)

That's nice.

Not it. What?

He's got dementia, and even worse, it's boring.

Probably stones.

Best case scenario, it's a kidney tumor.

We've assisted on eight nephrectomies.

It's your case, your chart, you're primary.

Kellan's coming to town. I need to be out of here

at a decent hour, and we are not children.

We do not decide things by who called it.

You touched the chart first. It's yours.

Did not. Did so.

We walked up together, Petringa handed the chart to you.

Did not. Did so.

Did not. Did so.

Why?

It just wasn't working out.

Oh. Well, I certainly hope it's not because in light of

Dr. Lim's recent promotion to Chief of Surgery

that she's now your supervisor?

We knew that arrangement would be unacceptable,

and since we only recently

started seeing each other...

You were seeing each other secretly for some time

before you reported it, correct?

So, maybe you've just gone back

to seeing each other in secret.

No. Uh, we made

the decision that this opportunity

for Dr. Lim is just...

You're... What... What are you writing?

I have accepted your explanation and report.

Thank you.

But I don't believe it.

You're going to keep seeing each other,

and I can't do anything to stop that, nor do I even want to.

But know this. Love doesn't conquer all,

lust doesn't either, and like doesn't even come close.

This is gonna be a lot more complicated than either of you think.

Looks like you have a large uterine fibroid that's bled.

It has to be removed surgically.

Yes, routine surgery. You should be fine.

Uterine? Am I gonna be able to have...

The surgery won't affect your ability to have children.

I didn't let her finish her question because

I anticipated what she was going to ask

because the uterus has very few functions.

Nicely done. Yes.

To improve O.R. access,

we're going to automatic block release

and implement staggered starts for anesthesia.

Any questions?

Dr. Andrews and Dr. Han

wouldn't authorize staff overtime.

Now, our nurses...

Good point. Thank you.

Yes. Authorized.

One other thing, and this is really for our third years,

but it will affect all of you.

Traditionally, you don't get to lead surgeries until fourth year.

That will be changing.

The earlier you get in there and take responsibility,

the more chance you have to learn.

When the right surgery comes along,

something simple, basic,

it'll be yours.

Start prepping.

Maybe I did touch the chart first.

Relax. It's okay.

I can stay late now and again. This is my job.

Stop it.

You don't want the case. It's boring. I get it.

I know you get it. Boring is now exciting.

Boring means it's a routine surgery,

which means it's a surgery that Lim just said

one of us may well lead.

This one's probably no surgery at all.

It's probably just kidney stones and late nights with a man with dementia.

I'll take that chance.

You hate people.

People don't know that.

People like me.

You need to be with your family.

Kellan's 16. He barely talks to me.

It's who touched the chart first, which, as you said, was me.

And as you said... HARVEY: Excuse me.

Y-Yes, Harvey? Is everything okay?

Why am I in here?

Nothing to worry about.

It's likely just a kidney stone. You just have to...

Yes! It's cancer.

Nicely isolated, simple surgery.

Perfect for a resident.

Put some traction on the uterus

to expose the broad ligament.

I'll slide the pelvic retractor under the fund us.

Did the wine spill all over you?

Um...

Did it spill all over Carly?

S-Stop.

Look above the posterior cul de sac.

Cancer. Yes.

Very extensive, I think.

It appears to have metastasized everywhere.

Liver, kidney, abdominal wall.

Close her up.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

I rang the doorbell.

Yes, you did.

Are you gonna spend the rest of your life

lying around in this backyard?

That, and lying next to my future wife.

Congratulations. I heard.

But what are you going to do professionally?

When people think they're going to die, like you did,

they assess their life, reevaluate what's important.

You're going to need to make a difference.

Do you have a puppy for me to adopt?

I have a vacancy at President.

Again?

You're interested,

but you think things have to change.

They don't.

You led a meaningful life before cancer,

and you will lead a meaningful life after.

Well, thank you. I'm very inspired.

Think about it.
