- Excuse me, is Ruth Fletcher here?
I'm Gunner. I'm her boyfriend.
- Gunner!
What are you doing here?
I thought you were supposed to be on deployment.
- I'm on leave, and I was gonna surprise Ruth,
and then I got that cryptic DM from you.
Now she's not answering her phone,
and her phone says she's here in the hospital,
and I just need to know what is going on.
- She's just, eh--
- Is she okay? What is going on?!
- Maybe she's just busy?
- You're lying to me! You know what?
Forget it, I'll go find her myself.
- Okay.
(phone line rings)
Please pick up, pick up, pick up.
- [Voicemail System] Your call has been forwarded
to an automated-- - Ugh, I need someone.
(gentle music)
- If you publish this article,
I'm the one who gets in trouble, not Juan.
- [Michael] I know that. I just-
- Sophie.
Hey, I was looking for you.
What? What's going on?
- Nothing. Listen, I have to tell you something.
- I have to tell you something.
Lydia and I broke up.
- What?
Tonight? Why?
- We realized that we rushed into things,
and we just felt like we had to be with each other,
because, you know, of everything happening.
- Oh.
- And...she realized that I like you,
and she's totally okay with it.
- Juan-
- Sophie, just listen to me, okay?
I know you feel like you betrayed her, but you didn't.
She's happy for me, for us.
And I know you're with Michael, and that's okay.
But I wouldn't forgive myself if I--
- I'm sorry.
Whatever is going on between us,
we're just trying to help Lydia.
Okay? That's it.
- What are you talking about?
- I mean, kissing you was a mistake.
We both know that.
And I told you I like Michael, that hasn't changed.
- What's going on? I know something is, so tell me, please.
- I have to go.
- Sophie.
- I'm with Michael now.
I need you to accept that. Please, Juan.
- [Cody] Wait, did you know it was Javier?
- Not until tonight.
- That's pretty intense.
- Seriously. I knew it wasn't Gunner, but...I don't even know.
- Hey, I'm sorry you had to miss homecoming,
because you look so beautiful.
- Thanks. It wasn't much fun going solo, though.
I missed Allie.
And you.
(gentle music)
I made up with Allie earlier.
- You did? Okay, good.
I'm glad.
- Yeah, I figured it was time to forgive her,
especially since the two
of you were only trying to protect me.
And I think it's time I forgive you, too.
- Ruth--
- Surprise.
- I had no idea.
- I'm sorry.
- Is this why you ghosted me last summer?
- No, no. I just, I just couldn't lie to Gunner anymore.
It wasn't right.
- Yeah. But you still could have told me, with the baby,
I could have helped.
- I don't need anybody's help.
- I'm kind of not just anybody, Ruth. Especially now.
- You're not my boyfriend, Javier.
- Yeah, I know that.
But please, we can figure this out together.
- There's nothing left to figure out.
The baby's been promised
to a really nice couple in Crown Lake.
- Adoption?
Wait a minute. Don't I get a say in this?
- I'm 19, and you're,
you've barely been on the police force for a year.
We'd be kids raising kids.
And how often does that work out?
We need to think about what's best for the baby, Javier.
- What's going on here?
Are, are you okay?
(suspenseful music)
Wait, are you pregnant?
Is it this guy's kid?
- Hey, back off. Okay?
- Don't tell me to back off!
You think that uniform makes you tough?
- I'm about to find out.
- Happily. Let's go.
- You wanna do this with me,
right now? - Gunner, stop it!
- You got a problem? - Hey, hey, hey! Enough!
I don't know who you are, but you're upsetting my patient.
Get out! Both of you, get out.
- [Ruth] Thank you.
- It's okay. It's okay. - Thank you.
- Security is gonna take care of that.
- Mm-hmm, thanks. - But right now,
we need to get you into surgery.
- Okay.
Okay. Okay.
- Stay away from Ruth.
- You better stay away from me, all right?
- Gunner, stop!
- You knew! You, you knew, didn't you?!
You knew Ruth was pregnant,
and you had me walk in there like an idiot.
Why didn't you tell me?
- Enough!
- Allie, are you okay?
- [Allie] I'm fine, I just need a minute, okay?
- I'll be back.
(people chatting)
- [Lydia] Sophie!
- Hey.
(both laugh)
- You made it!
- You look amazing.
- Thanks. So do you.
Love that dress. (Sophie laughs)
- Thank you.
- So, did you talk to Juan?
- Mm-hmm.
- So, you know.
- Yeah. I'm so sorry, Lydia.
- Hey, you don't have to explain.
Sometimes we get feelings and we don't expect them.
- No, that's that's not-
- By the way, I haven't thanked you for everything.
- What do you mean?
- I mean, you're part of the reason why I'm here today.
- It was nothing.
- It wasn't nothing.
Not too long ago,
you walked up in the cafeteria, and saved my literal life.
(Sophie laughs)
I owe you, forever.
- That's just what friends do.
- You're gonna make
an amazing doctor someday, Sophie Anderson.
(Sophie laughs)
(cell phone vibrates)
I, I have to go. Have fun.
- I'm shaky. It must be my blood sugar.
It must be my blood sugar.
(suspenseful music)
(electricity zapping)
- So?
- I've wanted to be a journalist since I was six years old.
I would watch the evening news with my dad,
see the reporters in action.
That's what I wanted to be.
I wanted to tell stories,
and right wrongs, and make a difference in the world.
You know?
And I am gonna do that, Sophie.
This is gonna be my life.
So, when that story with the pills fell into my lap,
every instinct I had was telling me to,
to publish it, because it's news.
It's important, you know?
Then I thought,
if I do that, if I publish this story,
and Sophie gets hurt,
(gentle music)
I lose my heart,
and that's more important
than any internship, or scholarship, or job.
You're more important, Sophie.
And to prove it, I deleted it.
- What are you doing hiding in here?
- Oh, I was just trying to call Javier to get a ride home,
but he's not answering.
- And how are you gonna tell him we have to swing
by the hospital to sneak me back inside?
- Oh, yeah...hadn't thought that far ahead.
- Does this have to do with Sophie dancing with--
- I don't wanna talk about it. Okay?
- Okay, let's get outta here.
I only have a couple hours of freedom left,
and I could go for a coffee.
The stuff that they serve at the hospital is awful.
- Are you sure?
I know you were really excited to go to homecoming.
- I was excited to be with you.
I am!
Just because we're not together doesn't mean
that I don't wanna be your friend, Juan.
- Really?
- Of course, come on.
But just so you know, you're paying.
Okay. (Lydia laughs)
- Um, your coat, right?
Okay. - Yes. Yes.
- All right. (Lydia laughs)
Here you go.
- Dr. A said the surgery went well.
- Yep. The baby's gonna be okay.
- It's good news.
- I'm so glad you're okay.
- Me too.
Thanks for being here through all of it, Bianca.
- Oh, of course.
You shouldn't have to go through this alone.
- Will you come with me to my follow up appointment?
- Of course. Yeah.
Oh, by the way, have you seen Allie?
She kind of got into it with Gunner earlier.
- Gunner's here?
- I know, it was a lot.
- Wait, Allie was here? Is she okay?
- She's kind of shaken up. You might wanna go check on her.
- We should go.
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
