No, this is on me.

♪♪
Okay, he's back. Set for travel.
You got it.
See, Pablo, I told you we got you.
[judge] Let's begin the hearing. First witness, please.
[Pamela] Dr. Alba, can you paint a picture for me
of what you saw when you entered the premises on the call?
Celeste was home alone, in obvious distress,
complaining of severe abdominal pain.
Did she tell you what happened?
[Roxie] Yes.
[Pamela] Can you share it with the court?
She had inserted a potato into her vagina
as a prophylactic.
She begged me to remove it
instead of take her to the hospital.
She said her parents would kill her.
And did you ask her if she was 18?
-Yes. -[Pamela] And what did she say?
She never answered the question
because she was in too much pain.
[Pamela] You never answered on purpose.
Isn't that correct, Celeste?
No.
I just wanted it out. It hurt so bad.
Because you knew that your parents would be mad.
Because they'd find out that you were sexually active.
Isn't that right?
Can we take a break?
I don't feel very good.
You know who doesn't feel very good?
The woman whose life could be ruined
trying to save yours.
[whispering] She's just a kid.
Does she really have to grill her like that?
Don't worry.
You're gonna get your turn soon enough.
You have a god complex, don't you?
I don't think so, no.
Well, it's safe to say you have a habit
of going beyond the scope of a normal paramedic, isn't it?
You'll have to be more specific.
Okay. Okay.
Is it true you recently went up 130 feet in the air
in a rescue basket during a lightning storm?
-That was on my orders. -[Travers] True.
But did you order her to tear out the mayor's pacemaker?
Or perform open-heart surgery
in the back of a moving ambulance?
Well, technically, the ambulance wasn't moving.
-We pulled over. -[chuckles] Right.
Your Honor should know
she didn't lose any of these patients.
Her record is flawless.
Actually, that's not true.
Do you know who this woman is?
[♪ somber music playing]
Yes.
Anjelica Rojas.
Yeah, well, I assumed you'd remember her
since she died on your watch, didn't she?
[Pamela] Objection.
I've never seen an Anjelica Rojas
in any of the NFD records.
That's 'cause she's not from Nashville.
She's from the Bronx,
where Dr. Alba treated her at Saint John Xavier Hospital.
She was 33 years old. Two young kids.
Came in complaining of a headache.
You diagnosed it as a sinus infection
and sent her home with antibiotics and ibuprofen.
That's correct.
She died of an aneurysm three hours later.
One that could have been prevented had you been
paying better attention.
-That's right. -So, what happened?
I was so focused on the insurance forms
I had to fill out for the hospital,
that I missed the signs.
And then you moved to Nashville
to become a paramedic shortly thereafter
for a new beginning, I presume.
And to start focusing on patients
more than computer screens.
I get it, yeah.
Judging by the surprised look on your captain's face,
I take it you never disclosed this information
to anyone in the department?
No.
I can tell losing Anjelica still haunts you.
Is it fair to say you still feel regret?
Every single day.
And you'd do anything to avoid feeling that way ever again.
Yes.
-You'd do anything to help someone. -Yes.
[Travers] So, you would have saved Celeste's life no matter what.
-Yes. -Whether she was a minor or not.
You're damn right I would have.
I think we're done.
[sighs]
♪♪
[people chattering]
[Travers] Thank you.
Rox? Rox? What-what the hell was that?
She asked you if you had any skeletons in your past.
And if I had told you, what good would it have done?
[scoffs] We would have gotten ahead of it.
We would have owned it. We would have told your story.
Now that judge is gonna come outta deliberations,
he's gonna throw the book at you.
[Pamela] I warned you what would happen
if you weren't truthful.
You better have a damn good attorney--
-Excuse me. -Rox, what are you...
Celeste? Are you okay?
I noticed you looked uncomfortable in there.
Sweetie, if something hurts, you need to say so.
-It's my side. -[Roxie] Which side?
Are you kidding me right now? Get away from my daughter.
I'm gonna get an officer of the court.
Rox, everything okay?
-Cap, it's serious. -I'll get an ambulance.
-[Celeste groans] -Which side?
You need to tell me. It's okay.
[Celeste] Right there. [groans]
Get your hands off of my daughter!
-We're gonna sue you! -[Don] Ma'am.
You care about your daughter, you let her do her work.
[Celeste] [crying] Oh, God!
-It hurts so bad. -Celeste, what is wrong, baby?
Celeste, this is important.
You need to be honest, okay?
Your life depends on it.
When was your last period?
[groans] Eight weeks.
-Eight weeks? -She's pregnant.
-I think this is ectopic pregnancy. -What is that?
It's when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus.
And I suspect she's bleeding internally.
We need to get her to a hospital now.
Ambulance is on the way. We gotta get her downstairs.
-Grab your daughter. -Come on, babe.
-[Celeste groaning sharply] -[Janice] It's okay.
-It's okay. -[Peter] It's gonna be alright.
[indistinct hospital PA announcement]
Hey, Sam. Thanks for coming out.
Yeah, I got your text. What's going on?
Have you heard anything about a girl
that came in with an ectopic pregnancy?
Um, have you ever heard of HIPAA laws?
I can't discuss specific patients.
[Don] I know we're a little out of bounds here.
It's just that Rox went to the wall to save this kid.
[Roxie] Yeah, I just burned my career down.
So, I'm hoping it wasn't in vain.
Oh, I'm... sorry to hear that.
But nobody's even asked me about my day today.
What?
You should really ask me about my day.
Sam, how's your day going?
Much better now.
My, uh, my colleague just saved a young woman's life
thanks to a quick-thinking good Samaritan.
And if they would have come in any later,
it would have been a different story.
[indistinct hospital PA announcement]
Thank you, Sam.
I should get back to work.
Thanks.
-You hear that? -[sighs]
It wasn't in vain.
Look, I'm sorry for never telling you
about what happened in New York.
Why didn't you?
I didn't want you to look at me the way I do.
How is that?
A mommy killer.
I orphaned two little kids
because I couldn't pay attention for five minutes.
I still feel so much shame over it.
You know, it's funny.
A good friend of mine recently helped me
with a pretty nasty case of shame.
-Is that right? -[Don] Mm-hmm.
One of the things she taught me was that
shame is a dangerous emotion.
It can lie to you.
And if you keep it to yourself, you start to believe those lies.
Except in my case, it's all true.
You say you're a mommy killer. I...
I've seen you save more moms than I can count.
And dads and grandpas and wives and kittens.
♪♪
I know you came down here for redemption, Rox.
Not that, not that you needed it,
but, uh...
you made good.
Well, I'm glad...
'cause I'm pretty sure my days of saving people are over.

Your 9:13.
[gasps] Good morning, my lovelies.
-[Taylor] Hi, Victoria. -Ah.
Grab a can, I had David pick some up for inspo.
They're delicious.
So he tells me. I'm off aspartame.
-Taylor, do you know what I'm looking at? -Hmm?
I am looking at a person whose life's about change.
I certainly feel like that.
Well, don't be nervous, but I've decided
that that is where your gold record is going.
After we cut your debut al-bam.
-Victoria-- -But first, we need
to make the people at HydroSculpt very happy.
They have decided that they want the ad
to run at the Kids' Choice Awards,
so we need to deliver ASAP.
Victoria.
I need to tell you something.
Working with you is literally a dream come true.
Yes, of course it is, darling.
I can't record the jingle today.
Oh, no. Is it your voice?
-Oh, honey, don't worry about that. We have tea. -No. No!
David, can you bring us some teas and some steroids?
Victoria, I...
It's not that I can't sing it today, I...
I can't... sing it ever.
I, I was on a call, and I met an artist.
He was putting up a mural...
It was an ad for a strip club.
...when he got hurt.
And I'll never forget the look in his eyes
when he thought that that was the last thing
that he'd ever work on.
Is this your way of calling me a sellout?
No, of course not. It's just...
It's just that I would be one
if I did something I don't believe in.
Okay, well, why did you come down here, then?
Because I respect you.
And I hope to God that you have me back one day
to record that gold record.
We both know she has the talent.
I gotta commend you, Taylor. Callie's right.
You have world-class talent.
And courage like I've never seen in my life.
No wonder you're a firefighter.
Thank you, Victoria. That means a lot.
But most firefighters are smart enough
not to burn down their own careers.
Yes, you have talent, but it's Nashville.
Everyone has talent. Not everyone has me.
And you come into my studio and you humiliate me?
Well, that was never my intention.
And then you have the gall to ask me for a gold record?
I want you to know that I will make it my mission
to use my immense power
to make sure that you never sing in this town again.
Now get out of my studio.
♪♪
Thank you for your time.
Hey, don't listen to her.
Did I just make the worst mistake of my life?
No, honey, you didn't.
What if she makes it so I never sing again?
Knowing Victoria, she's gonna forget about it by lunch.
And you are gonna sing again. In about an hour.
What... What are you talking about?
I figured something like this might happen,
so I booked you a gig.
It's at the perfect venue. They're gonna love you.
Well, I'm, I'm gonna have to get a guitar.
Oh, it's Nashville. They're gonna have one there.
