Everett!

Hey, hey, ooh cookies.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I can't find the nucleus.

Just look a little closer.

Hey, uh, Boris.

The IRB rejected our

application, again.

It's okay, Dave.

Excuse me.

Everett.

Hey, Boris.

Well, the prodigal son returns.

Everyone, this is

Everett Barnard.

His work was instrumental

in helping us

discover our freeze

drying technique

to extract enzyme from mice.

So work hard, because

if Everett, here,

can be a success,

so can all of you.

Well thanks, I think.

Um, hey, have you

seen doctor crick?

Oh, he got tired of

waiting for you,

so he went up to

the medical floor.

Crap.

Was he angry.

I wouldn't call it

anger necessarily.

Um, okay.

Thank you!

Get back to work, people.

You must really hate that bag.

Lookin' good, Marie.

Thanks.

You look the same.

Same is better than worse.

You still workin' nights?

Yep.

Well, it was nice

seeing you again.

Really? What's changed?

What?

Last time I saw you,

you said you wanted

to focus on your studies.

Yeah, well, you know, that's

not really an issue anymore.

Crick's choosing his

resident this week, and...

You back here for him, or me?

Um...

There.

Now you look better.

That went according to plan.

Right, thanks.

Welcome back, doctor Barnard.

Hi, Doris, was

doctor crick here?

Uh, he hasn't been here.

Check the unit?

Not bad for two days out.

Look at that valve, much better.

Is she good to go

to the main floor, though?

Absolutely. A little bit of walking,

no more than 15 minutes a day.

Hey, there you guys are.

Everett, my boy.

Doctor crick.

I recognize that voice.

Hello.

Sorry, I tried calling, but...

Oh, yeah, no, cell tower's down.

- You can't even text.

- Can't even text?

I'm surprised you haven't

killed yourself.

Right, okay, hey, doctor crick.

Uh, again, so sorry I'm late.

I missed you at the lab.

The lab?

I haven't been there yet.

I'm just havin' a look

at my last surgery.

Hey, the hand looks good.

I had a mini-stroke this summer.

But, don't worry, I'm still

looking for a resident.

Yeah.

Why the suicide precautions?

Overdose.

She used her foster dad's

heroin with a dirty needle.

A lot of inflammation

around the heart,

- which is?

- Endocarditis.

There you go.

- On the ball.

- Doctor crick.

You got some orders to

sign on the med floor,

and then you're done.

I will do that.

How does it feel to be chief

resident of main hospital?

There's never a dull moment.

Oh, I'm sure of that.

See you later.

Would you mind taking

care of this for me?

Thank you.

Making friends with crick, huh?

Smart career move, yeah.

Now you guys are chummy.

I'll see you later.

Doctor crick.

Actually, it was my

foster mom's heroin.

Dr. Kravitz, you have a visitor

in the main lobby.

Dr. Kravitz, a visitor

in the main lobby.

Aging is a disease.

Don't let anyone

tell you different.

Yeah, it's a disease

with no cure, though.

- Guess what

- hello.

I'm Brittany, here to watch

over a miss Sarah Hanna.

Watch over, what's that?

A sitter, suicide prevention.

They re bringing her

over from the unit.

What's in the bag?

Oh, things to cheer Sarah up.

See?

See?

Don't try to cheer her up.

All you do is watch her.

Well, I can most

certainly do that.

That remains to be seen.

Alice, can you set

Brittany up, please?

I most certainly can do that.

Hold on, Barbie,

I'll be right back.

Should I tell her that

my name's Brittany?

Why not?

Assert yourself, Brittany.

Code blue!

Morelli again!

No, no, no, hey, hey.

Relax, relax, it

happens every day.

Oh. Yeah.

Yeah.

- No pulse, he's uh, uh.
