- April Sexton: Oh, so here we go. What letter are we up to now?
- Maggie Lockwood: J's. So, Jeremiah if it's a boy, or Jacinta if it's a girl.
- April Sexton: Hmm. Jeremiah Sexton-Jenkins. I like it.
- Maggie Lockwood: Oh, my god. It's a boy?
- April Sexton: Or Jacina Sexton-Jenkins.
- Maggie Lockwood: You're having fun torturing me by not telling me the gender of the baby, aren't you?
- April Sexton: A little, but hey, if I can wait twenty-one more weeks, so can you.
- Sharon Goodwin: Case coming your way. Window washer fell thirty-three stories. Should be DOA, but still alive. Barely.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Thirty-three?
- Sharon Goodwin: Press will be all over this. Hospital PR's gonna be involved. Get ready for your close-up.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Wheeler, how's that groin line?
- Jason Wheeler: Done.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: All right, chest tube's in, too. Let's move. Justin didn't survive a 330-foot fall just to die in my trauma bay. Let's go, let's go!
- Dr. Will Halstead: [about their patient] Great catch, April. Had she gone home, no way help would've gotten to her in time.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Thirty-three stories. God. Massive subdural hemorrhage. Significant left shift. Big mass effect is crushing his brain inside of his skull.
- Dr. Sam Abrams: Well, he did fall off a building.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: Craniotomy, right?
- Dr. Sam Abrams: To what end? He's coagulopathic. I go in and take out the clot, it'll just re-accumulate.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: No, I don't think so. I'm actively giving him plasma, platelets, and cryo.
- Dr. Sam Abrams: Which improves his overall chances of survival from 1% to 2. I'm not opening up his skull. I question whether he's even strong enough for this CT, but that was your call.
- Dr. Connor Rhodes: If the pressure on his brain isn't relieved, it's over. That's 100%. I got him this far. He'll get through surgery.
- Dr. Sam Abrams: All the king's horses and all the king's men... guess they should've gone to you.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Full costume?
- Dr. Sarah Reese: Cape and all. When Edward learned it had been destroyed, he was so distraught, he could hardly even breathe.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: That's a pretty extreme reaction, but, you know, wardrobe and self-esteem can be deeply intertwined. The costume... ultimately, it's just a symbol that represents something crucially important to Edward. Our job's to figure out what.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: The inciting incident that made it necessary. The origin story.
- [seeing his expression]
- Dr. Sarah Reese: You know, because we're talking about a superhero.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Uh-huh.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: Like... like when Tony Stark became Iron Man.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Why did Billy Batson become Captain Marvel?
- Dr. Sarah Reese: Nice.
- April Sexton: The CPS working?
- Dr. Will Halstead: A-line pulsatility is decreasing.
- April Sexton: Heart's beating less and less on its own.
- Dr. Will Halstead: But it's only been a few hours. The meds need a while to build in her system.
- April Sexton: And we can't speed up the process?
- [seeing his reaction]
- April Sexton: We can?
- Dr. Will Halstead: IVIG and plasmapheresis. It's a method to block Melody's immune system from attacking heart muscle as it tries to clear the infection.
- April Sexton: Well, why aren't we doing it?
- Dr. Will Halstead: The science is unproven. The unknowns worry me. The risk of anaphylaxis, additional infections, inflammatory side effects.
- April Sexton: Well, she already coded. Another one could be right around the corner. Isn't it worth trying anything?
- Dr. Will Halstead: Not if it does more harm than good.
- Dr. Sarah Reese: Yes, and the suit was how Edward dealt with his wife's death. See, I'm concerned that if he leaves, he's just gonna go get another one, and that will lead him right back here. Some knucklehead will see him in that costume and pick a fight. "Let's see how tough you are, Super-guy."
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Hm. It's possible, but... is he having any suicidal thoughts?
- Dr. Sarah Reese: No.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: And he's certainly not a danger to others. He literally presented saving a woman's life. I mean, he just doesn't meet the criteria for a psychiatric hold.
- [in the hope of walking again, their patient has been getting stem cell injections in Mexico]
- Dr. Natalie Manning: Good luck? Ethan, are you kidding?
- Dr. Ethan Choi: Nat, I've met combat vets who have been paralyzed. The feelings of inferiority can be overwhelming. If you told them a bottle of snake oil might help them walk again, they'd drink it every time.
- Dr. Natalie Manning: So you agree with what Nick's doing?
- Dr. Ethan Choi: I understand it, Nat.
