(light dramatic music)
(message tone whirring)
- I can't believe she actually quit.
- Allie, I feel terrible.
- So do I.
- I think we tell her the truth, okay?
- That's a bad idea and you know it.
- Allie, she's just given up her entire dream.
She hates us that much.
- But if she knew what really happened that night,
she could get in trouble,
and then she'd have to give up her dream anyway.
We're doing the right thing.
We're protecting her.
She's better off not being involved in this.
- We're protecting her.
Yeah?
- Yeah.
- So, last night, we ran some blood tests.
(phone dings)
And those tests showed something really interesting.
(phone dings)
Sophia, honey, please.
- Who's blowing your phone up?
- Nobody important.
- So, Dr. Anderson, what'd you find?
- It's what we didn't find.
There was no leukocytosis.
- Is that a good thing?
- It's a great thing.
It means your white blood cell count is back
in the normal range.
- Do you know what caused the change?
- Oh, we haven't been able to pinpoint anything yet,
and the blood test is just preliminary,
but, Lydia has a scan later,
which should give us more definitive answers.
- So, from what you've seen,
it means she's getting better, right?
- It does.
The treatment we put Lydia on is exactly what she needed.
- Everything cool, guys?
- Yeah.
Yeah, it's great.
Great news, Lydia.
I gotta answer all these texts.
(phone clicking)
- So, are you gonna put the baby up for adoption?
- That's the plan.
I don't, I don't know.
- Paternal information.
Oh, man, I forgot about that.
What are you gonna say?
- [Ruth] Maybe I'll just leave it blank.
- I don't mean on the forms, I mean in real life.
How are you gonna tell the dad
that you're giving the baby away?
- I'm...not.
- Are you sure?
Look, I know adoption can be a big decision,
and maybe he could help.
- It's complicated, okay?
It's way too complicated to bring a baby into, so...
I'm just gonna do this, and... he never has to know about it.
- All right, but if you change your mind, that's okay.
- I've made up my mind about this
and I'm done talking about it.
What the heck is thalassemia
and how do I know if that runs in my family?
- It's a blood disorder.
You'd have to take a test to see if you carry the gene.
- What about neurofibromatosis?
- That one affects a person's nerves.
Again, you'd have to take a test to see if you carry it.
You should talk to Dr. Anderson and schedule
an NIPT if you're worried.
- NIPT?
- It's a non-invasive prenatal testing.
Your baby's DNA is in your blood,
so they can use it to check
if you have any genetic conditions.
- You're a freaking pregnancy expert, Bianca.
How do you know all of this?
- Working with you when I was in the team volunteer program
got me interested in obstetrics,
and now that I'm not a part of it anymore,
I've had a lot of free time, so I've done some reading.
- If you're so interested in this
then why'd you quit the program?
- I haven't been shopping in forever,
so we have to go to The Galleria.
Ooh, and the Cineplex!
There's so many movies I haven't seen.
- [Juan] I think we should wait for your scans to come back
before we start making plans.
- Sorry to interrupt.
Juan, can I borrow you for a sec?
It's really important.
- Yeah, I'll be right there.
Sorry, TV duty calls.
What's going on?
- I need you to cover for me
so I can go to Junior's and talk to Michael.
We've been text fighting all day,
and I just need to tell him he's a hack journalist
to his face.
- Don't you think we should stay with Lydia
until her scans come back?
- Are you worried that she isn't really cured?
- I'm worried that she is,
and they'll try to figure out how.
- Trust me, they don't care.
They're just happy that she's better.
You should be, too!
It was your plan that saved her.
- I'm too anxious to be happy right now.
It's making it weird to be around her.
- All the more reason to cover for me.
You can use the alone time to work through your nerves.
- So, if the room number starts with a two,
it means it's on the second floor,
and if it starts with the three, the third floor.
- [Cody] No, I get that.
It's the map that I have the issue with--
- Hey, you two.
Oh, you guys are really together, huh?
I didn't think you'd make it past that party.
- Yep.
We're inseparable now.
- Well, I'm gonna need you to separate for a minute
just so I can talk to Cody.
Is that cool with you, Cody?
- Yeah. Totally cool.
- I'll be at the nurse's station.
- All right.
What's up?
- I was hoping you could help me out.
You're friends with Xander Burns, correct?
- Yes.
- Did you speak to him the night of the party?
- [Cody] Yeah, yeah I did.
- Did he seem off in any way,
or was he talking to anyone unusual?
We're working on a new theory
and it would be nice to know if he had any enemies.
- Well, I don't think Xander had any enemies.
He seemed pretty normal when I spoke to him.
His typical self.
But I can ask around, if it helps.
- Yeah, let me know if you hear anything,
because...if someone was responsible for what happened to him,
they're looking at hard time.
I know you've been on the wrong side of the law in the past,
this is your chance to help out the good guys.
So, just...make sure you do the right thing.
- Yeah, I'll do my best.
- That's what I like to hear.
- You're okay.
You're okay.
Have some of that.
Okay.
Deep breathing.
One more.
Good.
It's good.
- [Allie] Thank you.
- It's no problem.
- How'd you know what to do, anyway?
- I've been Googling anxiety a bit.
- That's useful.
- Yeah. It just, it hasn't been easy with...having him here.
So, Allie, we can talk about it.
If you want.
What happened?
Hey, the police know that Xander's fall
might not have been an accident,
so, I think we should just come clean now.
Okay? Tell them the truth.
- No, I don't want you to get in trouble.
- Allie, it's not about me.
You are not okay.
You need some closure.
You need some justice.
- I don't want justice.
I just wanna pretend like it never happened, okay?
- Okay, fine.
I'll drop it.
But maybe you should talk to someone about it.
The internet says that can be helpful.
It also says that anxiety is super common
and you shouldn't feel weird about it or anything.
Okay?
- Okay.
You're a good friend, you know that?
- So, we're friends now?
- You saved me from Xander that night.
We're friends for life.
- And when I finally got back to the party,
I found my best friend kissing my boyfriend.
They're both in the program, so I had to quit.
I can't stand being around them anymore.
- Bianca, that's awful.
I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
- No, no, it's not okay.
You shouldn't have to quit doing something that you love
because other people did something terrible.
You can't let them have that power over you.
Hey, you're really good at this doctor thing.
You're crazy smart, and you're caring,
and you somehow even convinced me
to go start seeing Dr. Anderson.
It takes a special person to do that.
Don't you miss it?
- I do, but--
- But nothing.
You have a gift, Bianca.
You belong in that program.
Promise me you'll rejoin?
- I'll think about it, okay?
- Promise.
- Go ahead.
I thought you wanted to explain yourself.
Explain why you wrote that article about my brother.
- I mean, I told you I was gonna write about Nic.
- Yeah, but you didn't tell me it was gonna be a hit piece.
- I just reported what my sources told me.
- There's a difference
between gossip and journalism, Michael.
- Don't you think I know that?
- Did you even bother to ask Nic about his side of the story
before you accused him of putting Xander in a coma?!
Yeah.
Yeah, nothing matters to you more than that stupid article.
You're so obsessed with following the truth
that you don't even care who it hurts.
I know we're not officially dating, but I at least thought
that you'd care about me enough to not blow up my family.
- That's not my fault.
- It will be if he never comes back.
- Sweetie, have a seat.
- Thank you.
- I'm just so happy for you, sweetheart.
The best part of my job is when my patients
finally get a good scan.
Your turnaround is quite the miracle.
- Yeah. Miracle.
I will leave you two love birds alone to celebrate.
- She's right.
We should celebrate.
- Yeah, I could go get apple juice.
- No, I'm talking about homecoming.
You'll still go with me, right?
- Yes, I'd love to.
- [Sophie] Next time, on "Attaway General"--
- Hurting you is the worst thing I've ever done.
- Bianca!
You're back?
- We were just talking about how much we miss you!
- Make a wish.
What'd you wish for?
