I am quite aware of the danger, Mr. Chen.
I was only asking because...
We both need to exercise caution
and keep our circle small.
That is how we protect everyone.
Gus?
[clatter]
Paige. Welcome to your castle.
This does not look like my castle.
Gus, where's the progress?
Like this.
My business partner and I got this gorgeous
Turn-of-the-century banister two weeks ago,
And you haven't even taken it out of the box?
Antique, huh?
Those take a while to install.
We have a baby coming in three months.
Oh, yeah. I see the glow now.
- We're adopting. - Oh, that makes more sense.
Look, we need a home to bring our daughter to,
and it can't have dust, or exposed wires,
Or a staircase with no banister.
I want progress.
I'm on it.
Thank you.
(Evan) Two more boxes of iodine swabs should do it.
And, uh, we're going back to powder-free latex gloves.
Next order of business is, uh, next week's schedule.
So, Hank, I know you wanted those camp physicals
To take place on Tuesday, there's a conflict,
so they're gonna be Monday.
I'm hoping you can do those solo.
Look at you. You're a natural.
I still can't believe you're about to have one of your own.
Our little Evan, just all grown up.
Pretty sure I've been grown up for a while, guys,
- but thank you. - I'm serious, Ev.
I'm proud of you.
I'm really excited to be an uncle.
And I'm going to be an aunt.
I mean, you know, not technically,
but I am still your baby's aunt. Accept it.
I do accept it, and I love it,
and thank you so much for the practice.
Here, go to Mama.
Here you go, Sashi.
And since we're already off topic,
I'm actually gonna jump
Right to my post-HankMed meeting addendum.
Here you go.
A Mamaroo, a Bugaboo, and a "pooj snug?"
"Puj Snug."
Okay. What is all this?
It's a baby gift registry.
Yeah. In the interest of time,
I've assigned each of you gifts to purchase.
But Paige and I promise to look surprised.
I'm not even gonna make fun of you for this.
Well, I make no such promise. [laughs]
But I'm gonna cut this short. Raj will be here any minute,
And I've got to go to a meeting with my lawyers.
"Lawyers?" Plural?
- What are they all doing? - Yeah.
We're waiting for Rafa and his lawyers
to make their next move.
Don't worry, I'll be fine. You go in to the city.
Yeah? You sure? You and Jeremiah can cover me?
I can. Jeremiah's not in town.
What? Where'd he go?
A staffing trip for Boris, I think.
Did you say that you have a patient in Manhattan?
Yeah, I'm going with Olympia.
Houston, he's spending the weekend with her.
Do you have any idea who this woman is?
Olympia Houston.
No, seriously, I'm talking about her ex-husbands.
- Nothing? - Nothing.
So these are men who have risen to the top of their fields.
Like, they've built empires, but only after marrying her.
She's a kingmaker, Henry.
King Henry has kind of a ring to it.
So I guess she proves the old "behind every great man" adage.
Let's just say we can thank Olympia Houston
for the auto bailout, the Freedom Tower,
And the peaceful re-annexation of Hong Kong.
Well, I'm spending the weekend with her,
Not re-annexing Hong Kong.
Of course not. It's re-annexed now.
That's what I just said.
What was I thinking, though? If you're with Olympia Houston,
you can afford more than a freaking Bugaboo.
Raj!

An anterior dislocation, which is what usually happens.
This one's uncommon.

No.

A little overwhelmed this past week, but otherwise fine.

Dr. Saba. He's kind of intense.

Twice, but I can handle him.

[dramatic music]
♪ ♪
But wouldn't I know if I had a seizure?
(Hank) There are many kinds.
What you had was an absence seizure.
A momentary lapse of awareness.
Why did I have it?
They're caused by sudden electrical charges
in your brain,
and this is not the first one.
You said you were having trouble concentrating, recently.
They're all seizures?
I think so, and I also think you had one yesterday,
which would explain your rare shoulder dislocation.
It wasn't the cab pulling your arm.
You tensed your body so much that you popped the bone
out of the socket.
But why now?
Could be reflex epilepsy.
It's a convulsive disorder
where a certain trigger causes seizures.
Like what?
Well, triggers can be sounds you hear,
things you feel, things you see.
Some people react to flashing lights, a particular song,
even bathing could be a trigger.
What triggered me?
Well, we'll know more when we get you to the hospital.
But I feel fine now,
And the committee will be back from break soon.
Are there no other Pashto interpreters?
Not today.
I wouldn't want to endanger Mina's health,
but it did take six months to pull this conference together.
Lives are at stake.
Right now I'm focused on your life.
Are these sessions recorded?
Yeah, Jorge takes care of our technical equipment.
Can he play them back?
There's nothing he can't do.
Jorge.
Come here.
What do you need, Mina?
Jorge, is it possible for you to play back
Just the last 30 seconds of the meeting?
- Sure. - Great.
I'm gonna see if we can trigger another seizure.
Now, I'll have this Ativan ready to stop it, if I need to,
but I want to return to exactly what was happening
When you last seized.
Okay.
We're ready.
[recording of Dr. Saba speaking Pashto]
That does not look like a momentary lapse.
No, it doesn't.
Okay. One more second.
It happened again?
I think something in Dr. Saba's voice
is a trigger for you.
It would explain why your recent lapses in concentration
started when he arrived.
Yesterday, when you dislocated your shoulder,
Dr. Saba was calling your name,
and today you were interpreting for him.
One person's voice?
So I'm gonna seize every time he talks?
Well, medication should help to control it,
And Dr. Saba isn't a permanent delegate, right?
(Mina) But I can't finish this conference.
I'm not much use if I can't tolerate the voice of the man
I'm here to interpret.
It's all right. We can reschedule.
Yeah, in another six months.
Maybe you won't have to.
Jorge, I understand from a reliable source
that there is nothing you can't do.
