Episode 5.01 sides summary
Doug (50’s) – Lies in bed while his wife Cynthia is by his side. Dr. Walters is examining him. Doug was in a car accident and explains that the car must have hit a patch of ice. His back is sore but says he’s fine. Dr. Walters says the initial X-rays look clear but that they’ll take him to CT to make sure. Doug objects and says he doesn’t need a bunch of expensive tests to tell him what he already knows. He turns to Cynthia and says he told her the whole night was a mistake. Cynthia explains that Doug hates formal events and he says except for the one they met at. Cynthia tells Doug to go with the nice doctor and Dr. Walters interjects saying she’s not so nice. Doug says neither is he.
Later on, Doug is in bed and Cynthia is seated next to him. She says there’s a problem with the insurance and Doug says that he knows. She asks him if he knows about the credit card and if things haven’t been going well at work. Doug tells her that he was let go from work 3 months ago. Cynthia says that he’s been going to the office everyday. Doug explains that there’s a coffee shop that he goes to and reads the paper. Cynthia asks him why he didn’t tell her and he answers that she lives a certain lifestyle and there is no money coming in. He didn’t want her to worry. He wanted her to feel safe with him like she always has and he apologizes. Cynthia begins to cry and tells him he’s her lifestyle; that he’s the only nice thing she needs. He needs surgery and he needs it from the best and if something ever happened to him, she’d never feel safe again.
Phil (50’s)- Phil is sitting up in bed holding his wife Anna’s hand. He appears to be fine while Dr. Smith performs some medical exams and inspects his films. Phil asks Dr. Smith if they’ve found Michael already (Phil thinks Michael was thrown from the car). Dr. Smith reassures Phil saying the paramedics must be on their way with him. Phil asks Anna how she’s doing and she’s says she’s not alright because Phil can’t move his legs. Phil comforts Anna saying that he’s not in any pain and the doctors are trying to figure out a way so that they can dance at next year’s ball. Phil looking hopeful asks Dr.S for confirmation of that . Dr.S tries to be diplomatic and presses Phil’s thigh with the reflex hammer and asks him if he can feel it. Phil with a smile replies no. Dr.S moves the hammer up to Phil’s ribcage and he still can’t feel it (smile fades). Dr.S moves the hammer up to Phil’s shoulder and he says he can feel it. Phil, very happy, asks Dr.S if that’s good and Dr.S forces a smile and says it’s very good.
Later on, Dr. Smith and several nurses are working on Phil. Phil has cooling blankets and plastic covering his body with the exception of his head, arms and feet. Dr. Smith is administering the cooling saline through an IV. Phil wants Dr. Smith to admit she likes testing a man's limits. Phil tells Dr. S that he's survived 33 years of marriage, 5 children, 11 grandchildren and the time his frat brothers made him jump naked into Lake Wanatanka in the middle of January and that was cold so the current situation is like a Spring day for him. Dr.S says she doesn't doubt it and puts another cold blanket on Phil. He says he still doesn't feel anything, in fact he's warm and toasty. Dr.S adds another blanket. Phil says he may have spoken too soon and wants to know how much longer it'll take. Dr.S says not much longer and tells Phil he's doing great and to hang in there. Another cold blanket is added and Phil's body is closer to frozen.
Jillian (23)- Mrs. Marshall comes out of the bathroom to find a scantily clad Jillian outside the bathroom door waiting. Mrs. Marshall asks Jillian what she’s doing there and Jillian answers that she has to pee. Mrs. Marshall asks her what she’s doing in that room. Jillian says she’s with Jake. Mrs. Marshall says she means Jason. Jillian dismisses her with a ‘whatever’, says she’s got to pee and asks Mrs.M if she’s going to move out of the way. Mrs.M says she has no idea who Jillian is and she’s in her son’s hospital room. Jillian says it doesn’t change the fact that she has to pee. Mrs.M steps out of the way, Jillian enters the bathroom and shuts the door and Mrs.M stares angrily at the closed door.
