Amira: He and his people killed our families and friends,

You're a nurse and a temp one, at that.

- Mac. - Where the hell am I?
It's okay. We've got you.
This is the freakin' V.A.

I'll steer the ship, and I'll aid in the transition.

I want my family back.

I debulked as much of his tumor as possible
without affecting his speech.
So he'll need radiation and chemo?
He has an aggressive glioblastoma.
Going forward, we have to weigh the cost/benefit.
Are you saying that as his doctor
or as the new owner of this hospital?
Sergeant Riley's surgery alone cost $150,000.
The V.A. might not pay for it.
And our deal with them won't kick in for a few weeks.
You know, Scott and I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Mac.
And I wouldn't have done his surgery
if you hadn't ambushed me with a press conference.
Look, Julian, we thank you for going the extra mile for Mac.
We so appreciate it, but he's my patient now.
So let's get back to work.
We got a sick hospital to save, right?
I couldn't agree with you more, Scott.
Good.

Hi, I'm Abby's mom. I'm Dana. What... what happened?
I'm Dr. Alister.
This is Dr. Clemmens, head of surgery.
The accident opened up Abby's abdominal wall.

No, no. She's always been completely healthy.

and if they didn't, I was calling Child Services.
W-Wow. Y-You said that?
I did, but by the end of the call,
they were in tears.
They really love you, Sofia, and...
they wanna try and change things.
I'd like that.
But hey, this is on you, too, okay?
Things you were doing to hurt them, it only hurts you.
I-I know. I'm sorry.
You... must have pretty great parents
to turn out the way that you did.
Yeah, I guess.
Anyways, let's get you better, okay?
So Abby had a bowel perforation
hidden by a hematoma.
We tried to reattach the ends, but there was too much swelling.
So we had to do a colostomy.
All her plans are derailed now.
It's my fault.
I don't know about that, Dana.
Mexican abortion, an evisceration,
seems like this baby was meant to be.
My baby's okay?
- Hey. - Yeah. For now.
Good.
Some family will be very happy.
Honey, what are you talking about?
I was thinking about putting it up for adoption.
I'm too young to be a mom, and I'm not strong enough.
I could never do as good a job as you.
You're gonna change some family's life forever.
It's an amazing gift.
And you know what else?
I'll be here for you every step of the way.
- You're staying? - [Whispers] Yeah.
You applied for hardship.
I nearly lost my girl.
Busted my hump for 15 years for that army.
If they can't give me this time off,
- then to hell with them. - Mm-hmm.
Yo. Abby.
Sofia!
I thought they might want to see each other.
- You okay? - [Whispers] Yeah, I'm okay.
[Indistinct conversations]
Chopper's here.
Base commander gave me passes to the embassy in Ankara.
I got you some hydrocodone for your pain.
- It's gonna knock you right out. - [Pills rattle]
Thank you, Syd.
I'm gonna stay here.
They can fix your shoulder in Turkey.
It's not life-threatening.
Are you kidding me?
Do you have a death wish, Callahan?
No, no, the opposite. I...
Look...
My life back home was a trainwreck.
And even though this place is a mess,
it kind of makes sense to me.
Everyone wants to hashtag "Save Aleppo"
like it does something, but I can make things better.
You can do that in San Antonio.
Anyone can do that in San Antonio,
but not many people can do it here.
It's why you came.
- It's who we are. - [Scoffs]
It's who I was.
This trip has cured me of that.
No, I doubt that.

- [Sniffles] - Ah.
- [Crying] Thank you. - Yeah.
Thank you for coming back and getting me...
Getting me home to my daughter, thank you.
[Cries]
I'm gonna see you in Texas. I'm buying the beer.
- Better go. - Yeah.
Last time we did this, we got hit by mortar fire so...
[Laughs]
You die over here, I'm gonna be really, really pissed at you.
- I won't. - Yeah.
I promise.
[Sniffles]
[Helicopter blades whirring]
- Yo, Joss. - Hey.
Hey, so I heard Jordan fired Cain. Pisses me off.
I wanted to fire his arrogant ass. [Chuckles]
- Oh, so you haven't heard. - What?
Hey, guess what? Did you hear?
Cain's a doctor. And now he's gonna work here.
- [Scoffs] I'm sorry, what? - Hey, that's fantastic.
I knew there was something special about you.
Yeah. He ran one of the toughest E.R.s in Mexico.
That he did.
You know, he checked out. We're short-staffed.
So I hired him as a resident.
We're getting a T.C. experience at Shannon prices. Win/win.
- So great news. Huh, Kenny? - [Papers rustle]
Yeah, no. It's, uh... yeah, it's great.
Um...
- Listen, and about earlier... - Yeah.
You know, no hard feelings, man. I was just doing my job, so...
No. No, no, no, no hard feelings at all. I totally get it.
- Yeah? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no.
All right, man. Thanks for understanding.
Yeah, yeah. I'm just doing my job,
and you work for me now, yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
So there's a homeless guy, curtain 3,
has a boil on his scrotum.
[Grunting]
[Razor whirs]
- Needs his shave first. - Come on, man.
Oh, yeah. Get every hair.
I want him looking like a newborn baby.
Gonna be great working with you, Kenny.
I'm sorry for shooting you down like that.
No, that's okay. I was out of line.
No, no, you were right. I don't need to micromanage Paul.
- You should micromanage Paul. - So that means...
I'm choosing being his dad over being his boss.
But I still need you to
get the surgical center off the ground.
You up for two full-time jobs?
[Cellphone beeps]
[Elevator bell dings]
I just e-mailed you department breakdowns
hospital-wide, where we're weak,
- where we're strong. - I'll set up a meeting tomorrow.
Great.
[Elevator doors close]
So, uh... is that what it looked like?
Julian just made me medical director of the E.R.
and head of the new cardiac surgical center.
Wow. Is that some sort of a power play?
Look, Julian is a complete control freak.
But he'll get bored of this place and put some
bean-counting jackass in charge that we'll all hate.
- Oh, so you're that jackass? - In title, yeah.
Look, I can make him think he's running this place
from a distance, and meanwhile,
we keep everything exactly the same way it's always been.
Hmm. That's very impressive.
- Right? - Mm.
So I guess that means
you're not gonna have much time for anything else.
Woman over PA: Transition team report to O.R. 5.
Well, I mean, with work and... and everything
that's been going on with Annie...
- Yeah, I mean, totally, right? - Well, Jordan. Hey.
Just until the dust settles, you know?
I mean, I think we could both use a little bit of a time-out.
- Don't you think? - 100%.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
All right, good. Well, I'm late to see Annie.
- Okay, catch you later. - Yeah.

So... I went to the gift shop, and I got something for ya.
But I already have a phone...
that was made in this decade.
W... Yeah, yeah.
Well, it's actually for me. This is my dad phone.
And you're the only caller.
Wait, not even Rick?
Nope. Just you.
So whenever you're worried, scared, anxious, whatever,
I don't care, you call that phone, and I'm gonna answer.
I promise.
Unless I'm hanging from a roller coaster.
- And then just leave a message. - [Chuckles] Okay.
Give Cain a chance, Kenny.
I can't, Mollie. Got a bad feeling about the dude.
That's just a taste of your own medicine.
No car payment, no rent, no student loans. Are you high?
I wanna be my own man, okay?
I can't do that and take his money.
Can I take his money?
I'm proud of you, Paul.
You beat your dad at his own game.
I did, didn't I?
Ugh, get a room.
Hey, Jordan. I wanted to thank you.
For what, chicken and waffles?
Just give it a few hours. You might change your mind.
No, for giving me a chance.
I didn't wake up today thinking I'd be a doctor again.
Oh. Well, I mean, like I said, you're helping us out.
We're taking advantage of you.
Oh, yeah? Well... do it anytime.
- Crowd: Jordan, Jordan, Jordan! - I think you're being paged.
- Jordan, Jordan, Jordan! - [Cheering]
Jordan, Jordan!
Good morning. Hi.
Um, okay, so I will admit that I had an ulterior motive
for inviting you guys all out here other than breakfast.
I wanted to thank you, all of you,
for hanging in there.
I think it's been a rough 72 hours, but we made it, right?
- Man: Right. - Woman: Yeah!
That's because we're family.
So... let's raise a glass to the best damn E.R. around.
[Cheers and applause]
Jordan? Jordan.
I need a minute.
All right. Cheers.
All: Cheers.
