Masters of Sex

Previously in Masters of Sex...

Oh, my God!

If you really want to learn about sex,

then you're gonna have to get yourself a female partner.

Dr. Masters. We haven't yet met. Are you here to interview.

Can you squeeze me in now?

All I could think about the entire drive home

was kissing you.

Well, friends can kiss.

All I do know for sure is I am going to marry that woman.

My wife is coming in next week.

There is no way the great Bill Masters

is going to admit he's shooting blanks.

Why can't I give my husband a child?

Yet we sit huddled in the dark

like prudish cavemen,

filled with shame

when the truth is, nobody understands sex.

And science holds the key.

The provost of the entire university will be watching me.

He's not watching you. He's watching science.

Well, it's a remarkable feat.

The phase we're considering you for is couples.

Coup... couples?

Nice to meet you.

I'm, uh... anonymous.

I'm anonymous, too.

You are my friend.

Oh, Jesus Christ. Do not say "Friend."

You are! You are my friend!

Friends don't fuck.

I'm sorry that I hurt you. That was never my intention.

We're going to be watching couples have sex.

The likelihood of us transferring

all this libidinous energy onto our patients is high.

Why don't you just come out and say

whatever it is you're trying to say?

We should undertake the research with each other.

Can I take the weekend to think about this?

Of course.

Cereal and orange juice.

Or toast!

- OK. - Tessa, get out of the way!

Stop pushing me, Henry.

I thought that...

we could discuss your proposition.

If that's what we're calling it.

I would like to clear this up.

I did take the weekend as I said I would to consider your proposal.

And I've come to the conclusion

that it was an unreasonable request...

on your part.

And so my answer is no.

You're old enough to pour your own cereals, Henry.

Captain Kai is moving No. 1 prisoner Topknot

to the space pat.

It's good news. You both need to finish your juice. Tess...

You too, please.

I just want... I wanted to say thank you.

For your offer.

Your proposal is an interesting one. Us...

in the study together.

Although, it does put me in a curious predicament.

I'm intrigued and this...

the work is compelling and...

relevant. And I do feel that I can make a real contribution...

Yes or no, Virginia. I'm busy.

Mom! Sergent Baldwin Black has been bringing prisoner Topknot

to the end of the iron chamber.

- Mom. - Sweetheart, we're going to miss the bus.

It's why they go to the space rail.

To cool down. Then they find the boy Joey...

A stowaway.

Mom?

Hurry up, let's go.

Thank you. Come on, Tess.

Hey, Mom.

The best part is captain Kai gives the boy Joey a real stun gun.

I was trying to tell you...

Now I'm going to miss my bus, Henry.

I hear you.

I'll take these.

Okay, have a good day. Take this.

You too.

I've thought about your proposal.

And if saying no means losing my job, then I'll do it.

Although the truth is, I'd rather not.

And not because I don't think highly of you,

and respect you enormously, I do. But...

Such an unconventional arrangement

it could jeopardize my position here.

And I care about this job,

I don't want to ruin it by complicating it.

I hope you can understand that.

Good morning.

Coffee's hot.

The American Obstetrics's dinner is Thursday.

You're speaking last.

I have your notes.

Senator Ronson called twice this morning

and said he will only speak to you.

And...

Also, I wouldn't mind a moment of your time.

I...

I've thought about...

your proposal.

That the two of us participating in the study together.

There is no study.

There...

- I just return from provost Scully's office.

He inform me that...

someone told him that my sex study

had progress to copulation between couples.

Which incensed the provost to such a degree that

he shut down my study as of this morning.

Who would ever... - I warned you...

About sleeping with Haas.

I told you it was dangerous and unprofessional.

I also warned you about discussing the study with him.

Yet you did both.

Knowing the risks involve...

Ethan would never... - You defied me!

You jeopardize the study.

So as a result, you're fired.

I've called Human Resources,

I expect you to sit at your desk untill your replacement is hired

At which time,

you'll be terminated from the hospital staff entirely.

Dr. Masters' office.

Yes, this is Mrs. Johnson.

Henry's been suspended?

Oh if you're with Ethan, I'm not...

I'm not with Ethan.

Go ahead, get on your gown, so we can talk.

I was gonna come by your office.

I want to talk to you in here.

Since I'm now the one that's treating you.

You? What happened to Ethan?

Dr. Haas is not the best fertility doctor in the Midwest.

I am.

Shouldn't my wife have the very best?

I... I don't understand.

When did this happened?

Why?

It's important for me to know that I'm doing everything I can.

For you, for us.

To give us a family.

So we need to do a blood panel.

Ethan did a blood panel.

Another blood panel.

Progesterone and luteinizing hormone are repeated each cycle.

We'll finish the test today

we'll do the cervical capping tomorrow.

I want you on your back for 16 hours this time.

Feet in the stirrups.

Seditive will help with the discomfort.

All right.

Mabey in a strange way it's romantic.

Two of us together making a baby through science.

We'll start with a vaginal swab.

In preparation for the saline douche.

Just like an evening out for dinner and dancing.

It's hardly my best dancing dress, but...

At least it's us.

Actually, Ms. Grant is on duty.

A nurse is perfectly capable of handling this part of the procedure.

I have an appointment this morning,

but I'll check in on you later.

I promise.

I'm happy about this.

Ready, Mrs. Masters?

Dr. Martins please call pharmacy.

Dr. Martins please call pharmacy.

Why was I taken off your wife's case.

Fine, I'll ask her myself.

You will not.

Instead, you'll do well to remember your career is in my hands.

What are you talking about?

You are indiscreet and untrustworthy,

two things I will not tolerate.

Is this about your sperm count?

Because I have said nothing to your wife

about why you two are struggling to conceive.

Although I do think you should tell her, it's awkward.

Borderline unethical for me to

keep that information from my own patient.

My patient now.

A back door man...

I'm not surprised.

So you lied to your boss, what you think was gonna happen?

Scully knew there was a study.

Not with people humping in it.

So, what can I do anyway? Get you back to the...

peep hole with the watching and the timer?

I've been making great strides at the hospital,

far beyond the observations I... made here.

I want to continue the work.

Only move it...

Here.

With the machines and all the... wires?
