Why should I go?
chool was.
Wouldn't a high school reunion tend to be?
Maybe, but who wants to listen to drunk-*** fools
going on about how well they're doing?
I can't compete.
Dorita?
I ain't making big cheese at big "K."
I ain't no doctor like you.
Before I was a doctor, I was a high school dropout.
You, you got your diploma on time, straight up,
you work hard at a job you do well,
you've got two beautiful girls.

That is the only way to put it.
a lot. reason to pretend
to be someone or something you're not.
So I shouldn't say my first CD drops this summer
m?
Well, you could, but...
we've heard your rap.
All: Ha ha ha!
Everything looks great,
Get ready to have a bouncing baby boy.
Yes. Third time is a charm --
Not that the girls aren't great.
He won't be satisfied until we've got
a pitcher on the mound for the Phillies.
Is it my fault the league won't let girls play?
Maybe we need to start a league of our own.
How big a haul do you think you're going to take in
this afternoon at this shower of yours?
I don't think it'll increase our tax liability.
What else is a tax attorney supposed to worry about?
If you figure there's going to be a lot of stuff,
I'll swing by the club after my partners meeting,
load the ***, and run you home.
I don't want you exerting yourself.
Saul, you have no idea
how much Eleanor is about to exert herself.
Don't I have the best husband? He'd do anything for me.
Hey.
Any particular reason
I've got a waiting room full of patients
and there's not one chart out here waiting for me?
Just on a five, is all. I'll get them.
Weren't you on a five, like, five minutes ago?
That was another five.
Okay, what's wrong?
My friend came to visit.
Is it my imagination, or has your friend been
a bigger pain in the butt than usual?
It ain't my butt the pain's in.
Come on, let's go.
Lana, I want to examine you.
Like hell. You said it yourself --
You've got a clinic full of people.
How am I supposed to concentrate on them
if I'm worrying about you?
Well, I guess if you put it that way,
they can wait a little longer.
Are you coming or what?
I've swollen, and I can't get up.
You'd think if he disapproved
of single motherhood,
he would have said something when you first came in.
No, he waited till yesterday.
I said Hank and I haven't had time to plan a wedding
'cause Hank's job keeps him on the move,
es
comported themselves with a bit more discretion."
I waddled right out of there.
I can't say that I blame you.
I mean, look,
maybe the fact that Dr. Messerschmen's
about 100 years old should be a mitigating factor.
But when I told Eleanor what had happened,
she said she wouldn't trust anyone but you.
Thanks for squeezing me in.
You can't afford to be without a physician.
Now, will the father -- Hank, was it?
Will he be participating in the birth?
No, he's going to miss it.
Like I said, he travels a lot for work.
He has to leave the country tonight.
I never realized how demanding
government work could be.
Government work?
Yeah, that's what he has to call it.
Hank has to report in to Langley later.
The Company.
C.I.A., Doctor.
Oh!
Of course.
What a load of frequent flyer miles
he must be racking up.
Yeah. In the movies it always looks like fun,
.
But we are going to have a nice lunch
to celebrate our baby before he goes.
I'm just sorry I have to miss Eleanor's shower.
Well, we can't be two places at once.
Ready?
Yeah.
There she is!
So spill.
What?
Spill what?
w,
but you ain't one to sit too long
without flapping your gums for one reason or another,
so what's bothering you, Lu?
I got your M.R.I. back.
Let me guess -- pretty as a picture.
Is it cancer, Lu?
'Cause Lana ain't having no cancer.
You get that out of your head right now.
So, what -- Gremlins?
I think you might have what's called adnomyosis.
It's when the lining cells of your uterus
grow into the muscle wall.
When you get your period,
you bleed from the irregular cells too,
and it hurts.
So what do we do, call in the Marines?
I could give you medication
that'll temporarily reduce the symptoms, or...
Or what? What's the fix that ain't keeping me
from yanking my eyeballs out every four weeks?
Well, the thing of it is,
I don't know that you have this for sure,
and the only way to know for sure sure
is to go in and look around.
All right, what if it is adno-whatever?
It depends.
If the adnomyosis is confined
to just isolated areas of the uterus wall,
then I could maybe surgically go in
and fix the bad spots
and then repair the rest of the uterus.
What if the whole thing's on the Fritz, Lu?
The best thing would be to remove it.
Take out all my female organs?
Not all.
We've got to get inside, Lu. Lot of people waiting.
Lana.
Come on, girl, you've got patients.
Hey!
It's, like, three days of school
Amy's missed already.
What did the tests
tion,
and it can't be an easy question to answer
tainly not
Is Amy here sexually active?
Lu, you kidding? She's 12.
Amy, you been making out with boys?
You know you'd better tell me.
She's a good girl.
She could have picked up the flu anywhere.
That school is so crowded. Like I got to tell you.
So, look, her tonsils got to come out or what?
Well, her throat...
ah.
And her glands are swollen
and her phlegm is real dark and viscous,
and she's got a fever.
So what's the bottom line? She got strep throat
or that kissing disease -- what do you call it?
That why you asking if she's --
No. Nin, when I saw how severe Amy's pharyngitis was,
I had a real good idea of what it might be,
but I wanted to do a special culture
just to make sure.
I didn't want to alarm you for no reason.
Amy's got an infection, all right,
but it's not mononucleosis or strep throat.
According to this lab report,
Amy's got oral G.C.
Gonorrhea.
All right. Thanks. Thank you.
Dr. Stowe?
Sandy.
Hi.
Hey.
What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?
It's my favorite restaurant.
This is where Hank and I first met.
Our pre-baby celebration, remember?
Yes, yes, that's right.
Um, where is he?
Oh, probably still held up at the office.
He should be along any second.
Okay.
You want to wait with me?
Sure. Okay.
Imagine running into you here.
How do you get away?
Your clinic seems so busy.
Well, my 12:30 canceled, so I snuck away.
ell?
Can you keep a secret between us girls?
Yeah, doctor/patient privilege.
I think Hank's going to ask me to marry him today
right here.
wonderful.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Oh, well, there he is.
Hank, over here, honey.
Hi, honey.
Hank, this is Dr. Stowe, my new doctor.
She'll be delivering the baby.
Nice to meet you.
How do you do...Hank?
Gee, Sand, I had no idea you changed doctors.
What happened to that kindly old Dr. Messerschmen?
Oh, he turned out to be not so kindly, Hank, honey,
so my girlfriend Eleanor from Yoga Mommies
referred me to Dr. Stowe.
You go to Yoga Mommies
and you've got a friend named Eleanor.
That's great.
You look awfully familiar, Hank.
met somewhere
No.
No.
Not unless you've spent time recently
stan.
Yeah, Uzbekistan.
He's just all over the map.
Right.
Sandy, I wish you'd told me
about these enormous changes at the last minute.
I like to keep up-to-date on our little girl.
Hank's so into the baby.
Isn't he the greatest?
He's a saint, I'm sure.
I-I know that was a big shot, Aim,
but I promise
it's going to make you feel a lot better.
So I want you to go home with your mom
and let her put you to bed so you can get some rest.
Before you guys go,
the reason I asked your mom to wait in the waiting room
As upset as she is,
I think it'd be better, just the two of us.
[ Sighs ]
For someone so young,
you got a pretty grown-up sickness.
It's a sexually transmitted disease.
That's why your ma is so freaked.
Do you know how someone gets oral gonorrhea?
Well, uh, usually,
the most typical way is through oral sex.
Do you know what that is?
When someone goes to their doctor
and they have what you have, it's their doctor's job
to make sure the person who got their patient sick
gets told that they're sick.
That way, hopefully, no one else gets sick.
You follow?
Now, I know you feel like you're protecting someone
by not telling,
but what you really ought to be protecting him from
is this disease, so...
I really need you to tell me
who you've been with in that way,
not in trouble.
It was my teacher at school.
Amy was crystal clear.
He offered her good grades in exchange for oral sex,
which she said she repeatedly performed unprotected.

What's up, Fred?
Vic, can you step into the hall?
We're in the middle of "Tom Sawyer." What's up?
Now, sir.
Please don't make this worse than it already is.
Ellie here will take over.
What's this all about?
Vic, there's no easy way to say this.
sation.
aw police.
Accusation? What kind of accusation?
That you coerced her into performing oral sex on you.
That's absurd! Who would say this?
You're the doctor? Aren't you Marc Delgado's mother?
...
I didn't touch anyone!
Why would you do this to me? You know me!

Kids, just go back to your next class.
Why did you do this in the middle of the day?
Don't worry about it, kids. Go to your next class.

How could you do that, Mom?

Marc, I'm sorry if Mr. Nabokov's situation

What did he do?
All I can tell you
is that he's been accused of something very serious,
and I need you to tell me
if you've ever heard about him
behaving inappropriately with any of the other kids,
including...
especially...
you.
Mom, are you kidding?
No, I am not.
Well, then, let me tell you something, okay?
Whoever said that about Mr. Nabokov
is making it up.
That is the biggest bunch of bull
that I have ever heard in my life!
Mom, I would have failed sixth grade English
if he didn't let me make up that extra credit assignment
on the Notorious B.I.G.'s lyrics.
You remember?
Okay, now, he did not touch me
or anyone else,
then or ever,
and that's sick, okay? That's totally sick.
Marc, wait. I want to talk to you about this.
No. I don't want to talk to you, Mom.

Nothing worse than a guy like that.
No, it's worse.

Something like that.

What do you want to do?
I want to stop having you hollering at me
about my hoo-ha all day, that's what.

How can you say that? I know you're in pain.
I'm not going to let you

What Dana's trying to say --
What I've been trying to tell you --
Is that just because your uterus has to come out
doesn't mean you have to lose your ovaries.
You're not at high risk for ovarian cancer.
You'll still be making all your own hormones.
No hot flashes? No mood swings?
No mustache?
Not if you keep your ovaries.
Oh.
So?
I'll let you know.
Mr. Nabokov? I want to talk to you.
I don't want to talk to you.
Please wait.
Marc said --
What, that I molested him, too?
I know you think I come with a torch-carrying mob
of villagers looking to kill the monster,

and what Amy says you are.
I have faith in my son's instincts.
It's not like this would be the first case
where kids have lied.
You know, legal obligation or not,
I don't want to be the one to get the ball rolling
on another McMartin.
My lawyer would kill me

So how does something like this even happen?
Sometimes, um...

Well, if the police had told me that,
they'd know they don't have a case.
Meaning what?
I get tested for everything onths.

I do.
As recently as last week.
Why?

I guess.
Are you telling me you, uh, swing?
I do.
Hope I'm not embarrassing you.

Lana?
Don't. Just don't ask me.
If I hear the word "uterus" one more time today,
I swear I'm going to scream.
Damn, just said it myself.
I was just going to ask how you were feeling.
Well, since you asked,
my uterus hurts.
You did it again.
Used the "U" word.
I know.

She cares about you.

Please do not do it to another.

Arthritis, meningitis,

but you not telling me who you've really been with
is only putting that person in danger,
probably other people, too.
Don't...
Don't you want me to be able to help
the person you caught this from
in the way that I helped you?
You got to promise not to tell my mom.
the law says I can't tell your ma.
It doesn't mean you shouldn't tell her,
but right now you got bigger problems
than what your ma does or does not know.
We do it in the bathroom at school, okay?
Who?
Who does "it"?
Me and Winston. He's an eighth grader.
Amy, why did you tell me
it was Mr. Nabokov?
I was scared.
I don't want Winston to get in trouble.
I didn't want to get in trouble.
I was mad at Mr. Nabokov 'cause I flunked my midterm,
but he wouldn't let me take it over.
Open.
Lu: You got to give me authorization to do this.
If you guys at public health
go to that school and look for this boy,
you're just going to cause another panic.
Look, I know this place. I know these kids.
My own kid goes there.
Thank you.
Hey.
I have to ask you to keep a secret.
I think I got more of those than I can handle.
First, I want you to understand she asked me
because I don't believe in poaching patients.
Not to worry. It's not like my patients can exactly
meet your fee schedule.
Well, this one's covered
under Rittenhouse's employee health plan.
She's asked me to perform her adnomyectomy
and her hysterectomy, if necessary.
She -- She did? She asked you?
She's very, very concerned
about how you're going to feel.
Yeah, well, Lana's my patient.
I mean, she's my friend.
I-I'm qualified to...
Lu...
how many cases of adnomyosis have you explored surgically?
Well, I -- It -- We weren't exactly set up
for that kind of thing at the old clinic,
but I did have privileges at county
and I am a licensed OB-GYN.
All right. Good.
I mean, because I've performed less than 100.
Dr. Stowe, I think you better get out here.
Sandy?
Dr. Stowe, I-I think it's time.
I guess I was closer than I thought.
Oh, my back is really killing me.
All right, we're going to get you upstairs.
It's going to be fine.
Okay, as soon as you get settled,
I'll see where we're at.

Saul -- He's not with you?
Oh, he's downstairs filling out forms.
He loves that. It calms him down.
Sorry we didn't call. He was so panicky.
I just got the page.
Do you have any rooms in labor and delivery?
Well, that one, but you can't --
I have a woman in labor,
so we'll fill out the paperwork later.
Peter, we'll be in that room.
But --
No buts. You go with Eleanor.
Her husband might need some moral support,
a man to discuss manly things with.
Manly things. Ah, yes. I suppose you'd like Saul
by Eleanor's side.
Yes, like he was glued.
Eleanor, I'll be with you in just a minute.
Good luck, Sandy.
You too. I can't wait to meet your husband.
Baby first, then we'll worry about meeting Eleanor's husband.

It's a sexually transmitted disease, Win.

Otherwise, how did you know to look for me?
Who told you I have this?
I can't tell you,
but I guess if you don't know,
there's more than one.
I guess a big player like you has got shorties
just crawling all over him, huh?
"S."
Was it Amy?
She's jealous of all my other ladies, you know?
Or Laurette. She's got a big old mouth.
Or Trudy.
Yeah, I bet it was, the little ho.
Why so many, Win?
I mean, one lady not enough for you?
You know how it is.
When you're the man, they all want to hook up.

That's game.
Okay, Sandy, these squats,
plus the stair climbing that we did earlier,
may spin the baby around
so the back of her head is toward your front.
Oh, you are much tougher than my yoga teacher.
Oh.
Hank?
Sandy.
Peter.
Hank? Right, Hank.
Oh, Dr. Stowe, Hank came back.
Oh, honey, you're so sweet
to come back from Uzbekistan to be with me.
I can't believe how sweet you are.
Was it dangerous?
Uh, uh, uh, the mission can wait.
Nothing's as important as you
and the baby, baby.
Eleanor: Saul, where'd you disappear to?
Okay, Saul --
Hank. Of course I mean Hank.
Why would your name be anything other than Hank?
That would be silly, wouldn't it?
I want you to be with Sandy now, Hank.
You came all the way back from Uzbekistan,
don't you think?
Uh, yes. Uh, but --
I'm pulling rank, Hank.
I don't want you to move until I give the word.
Do we understand each other?
Dr. Stowe, are you all right?
Right as rain, Sandy. Not to worry. Peter?
[ Sandy Moaning ]
Eleanor: Dana, have you seen Saul?
I thought I heard Saul.
You know, these halls are so echoey,
one man just sounds like another.
Yeah. How you feeling?
Oh...
How's your room?
All right.
Hey.
Yo, kid, where you been?
They're stacking up out there like jumbos over the airport.
I had to go to school -- Marc's school.
Got to go back later and finish up.
Parent-teacher conference?
Doctor-student. It's...
Anyway, Lana, I was thinking --
If you decide to have the surgery...
you're practically my family.
I mean, you are family, and...
doctors aren't supposed to perform surgery
on their loved ones.
Some people think you can't remain objective,
and I might get all worked up,
and that wouldn't be what's best for you.
You're saying you don't want to perform my surgery
if I decide to have it?
I think if I asked Dana to do it for you,
she might consider it,
and she's probably done
than I have.
What do you think?
Well, you're my doctor, kid.
If you say
your partner's the one that ought to be doing me,
then I say what you say goes.
I think that's the way to go.
Yeah, I'll let you know what she says.
Hey, Lu.
Thanks.
Okay.
Oh, effective contractions, Eleanor. Good.
You'd think after two, it would get easier.
Yes, okay.
Let's breathe through this next contraction.
Ready? Here it comes. Breathe.
Where's Saul? I want Saul.
Should I get Saul?
I'll get Saul.
I want you, too.
Eleanor, you're going to be fine.
Peter's a certified nurse midwife,
so just keep breathing, okay? Keep breathing.
Keep breathing.
Woman: Dr. Stowe.
What is it?
Okay.
[ Sandy Moaning ]
Sandy?
Hi, how's it going?
Spinning away, Doctor.
It's like "Romper Room" for grownups in here.
Hank, would you mind stepping into the hallway?
Hank? Hank.
Me. Sweetie, we'll be right back.
Okay, okay.
Doctor, I am so grateful to you for not...
Blowing your cover, Secret Agent Hank?
You ought to be.
I can't remember the last time
I've experienced such scurrilous behavior,
and if we both get through this day unscathed,
it'll be a miracle,
the likes of which we haven't seen
since the Backstreet Boys outsold the Beatles.
Hi. Hi, sweetie.
Oh, there you are.
He almost fainted the last time.
Peter: Dr. Stowe?
All right, well, let's get a gurney in here.
Tell O.R. to prep for a stat C-section
and get anesthesia.

Well, the baby's not tolerating labor very well.
His heartbeat is having decelerations.
What? What?
You may be experiencing placental abruption,

Dr. Stowe, they're ready for you upstairs.
Sandy: But I want my doctor!
Peter is perfectly capable of delivering your baby,
all right?
Besides, it's your friend Eleanor,
and her situation's very serious.
It is?
It is?
It is, okay?
So I'll be right back as soon as possible.
The important thing to remember
is that Hank is here, and, well...Hank is here.
Help me!
Aah!
Easy.
[ Groans ]
I feel fine.
Sometimes symptoms don't show on women.
I'd really like you to come to the clinic
to get checked out.
You do this a lot?
Just with Winston?
I need you to tell me who else you've been with.
You act like it's bad, but it's fun,
and the boys really like you when you do it.
Like...
which boys?

and Stavros and Julio,
but only once with Julio.
And Steven and Frankie and Chris...

Sometimes when he goes, I give him a kiss good night.
So that's it? Just a kiss good night?
Only bad girls do more than that.
More would be like having sex. The mouth doesn't count.
So you give him a kiss good night on the lips?
Sometimes. Other places, though, mostly.
Trudy, how old are you?

of the kids 11 and over are sexually active.

As if I don't have enough on my hands.
I want it stopped before the whole school's infected.
With the list of contacts I've put together,
I can test and treat,
but the kids here have a big behavioral problem
that's, sad to say, part of a growing national trend.
The health department is not going to stand by
and watch an outbreak develop into an epidemic.
ailing
we intend to do mandatory testing.
Ken, if you do that, this school is going to be
the lead story on every channel for the second time.
Even the kids who aren't involved
are never going to be able to live down the shame.
I'm not hearing any better ideas, Doctor.
These kids need counseling, education.
I'll put together
a confidential testing and treatment program
and a series of workshops for the kids, the teachers,
and especially the parents.
Clearly, the parents are having trouble
talking to their kids about sex.
These kids don't need talk. What they need is discipline.
What they need is values
and a sense of their own worth,
which they're obviously not getting at home or school.
Dr. Stowe, how is Eleanor? Was everything all right?
She's just fine.
She's probably being wheeled t about now.
Nurse, what room is Eleanor Vogel in?
That would be 818.
That must be a mistake.
Sandy hill's in 818. I just came from there.
I didn't get any paperwork from admissions

So...
it had to come out.
Dana and I both agreed there was no other choice.
And my ovaries?
You still got them, just like we said you could,
even if,
so no hormone replacement therapy necessary.
How you feel, hmm?
Pounds lighter.
Help me get up.
I really think you ought to rest some more.
Girl.
[ Groans ]
b...
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
That uptight pain in the butt
does some good work.
[ Chuckles ]
Of course, I don't use the term
"uptight pain in the butt" in any pejorative sense,
mind you.
It's a term of endearment.
So when can I come back to work, Lu?
Well, I was serious
when I said you should take that time off.
Get used to the all-new Lana, huh?
Something like that.
It's all good.
Great, in fact.
No more cramps, no more bloating,
no more bleeding, no more babies.
So how long before I can get buck wild?
Lana. Ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
I'm serious, Lu.
is true,
Lana should be able
ne?
You been holding out on me?
You think a grown-up woman
with two grown-up boys already out of the house
ain't been making time for a little grown-up love?
Lana.
[ Both Laughing ]
Heard there was a little bit of excitement
up in the maternity ward last night.
Just a little mix-up in someone's room assignment.
How'd that happen?
Got me.
You have any idea?
No. Do you?
Nope.
Just a mystery, then.
Eternal.
[ Bell Rings ]
That was some talk.
Thank God it was after lunch.
You think it'll help?
It'll help more
than what they've done to this school.
You can't go to the bathroom by yourself anymore.
Back in the day,
all they were worried about were kids smoking in there.
Yeah, it's like being in jail.
I tried to talk to them about that.
I guess they didn't listen.
Marc, you know the kids that are sick here?
Yeah?
Are you doing the things that they're doing?
Mom, I just sat through a 40-minute horror show.
or?
oom
ce
but I'll be home before dark, though.
I've got homework.
Where are you going?
Do you trust me, Mom?
Yeah.
I do.
Then I'll see you later.
Okay.
Okay.
