Sides Summary for Episode 11.09 -- Filming dates: Oct. 22 - Nov. 4
PARKER & POLICE OFFICER– Paramedic unloads Parker (5) as Dr. Smith runs up. Paramedic says he has minor injuries. Parker, terrified, asks where his sister is. Dr. Smith tells him they have his sister inside.
In the ER, a Police Officer sits on a bed across from a sobbing Parker and takes notes. Parker is getting stitched up by Dr. Smith and his father Greg is holding his hand. The Police Officer asks Parker what his mom said after he got in the car. Greg tells Parker that he isn’t in any trouble and to tell them what happened. Parker says she told them to shut up. Greg tells the officer she wouldn’t say that. Parker explains that they weren’t even making noise and then the car started going fast. He’s sobbing again and Greg pulls his son close.
GREG (30s) – Greg is distraught and approaches Dr. Hall saying he is looking for his wife (Brooke) and kids (Mia & Parker). He explains that they were in an accident because some woman ran a red light and hit them. Dr. Hall tells Greg that his wife is on the way to surgery and his kids are being treated. The woman who ran the red light was actually his wife and she caused the accident. He gapes at Dr. Hall because it doesn’t make sense to him. He tells Dr. Hall that that is crazy because his wife would never do that. Two police officers approach Greg and ask him to accompany them. The police lead him away and he asks why she would do that.
(Outside Mia’s patient room) Dr. Hall questions Greg about his wife as he looks at his daughter Mia who is in bed, asleep. Parker has a splint on his arm and curled up in a chair. Greg is overwhelmed. Dr. Hall asks if there’s a history of diabetes, childhood illnesses, previous surgeries or anything. Greg says no. Dr. Hall asks about current illnesses, mental illnesses. Greg asks if Dr. Hall is asking him if his wife is crazy. Dr. Hall says they’re just trying to understand what might have made her do what she did. Greg says she wouldn’t hurt their kids. He’s emotional. He says his wife is busy, she’s tired and stressed and forgets things. She has a lot going on and he works a lot. He has a realization and asks if he missed it, maybe he wasn’t seeing it. Greg is in disbelief and says he doesn’t know anything anymore.
PARAMEDIC – A rig arrives and Dr. Smith greets the Paramedic who explains that the patient is 10-year-old Mia Cohen who is in and out of consciousness and has minor injuries including a facial laceration and probable arm fracture. Her younger brother and mother are right behind them. Dr. Smith asks if the mother was driving and the Paramedic nods.
MIA – The rig arrives and Dr. Smith greets the paramedic with Mia who was in a car accident with her mother. Dr. Smith asks Mia if she can hear him and she nods. She asks where her mom is and if she’s okay. Dr. Smith says they’ll find out as soon as they can.
DYLAN & JACK – In a trauma room, Dylan (14) is in bed while Jack (7) is sitting on a stool. Dr. Jenkins inspects Dylan’s abdomen and remarks that was a pretty rough ride. Jack says it was awesome and Dylan says the car fell right in front of them. The cars started slamming into each other and then slammed into them. Dylan says their dad is going to freak when he finds out. Jack tells Dylan he’s going to be in so much trouble. Dylan tells him to shut his mouth. Jack continues by saying that Dylan thinks he’s so cool but he’s a crap driver. Dr. Jenkins asks Dylan how old he is and he says eighteen. Jack snorts and says “Yeah. And I’m twenty-five.”
Dr. Jenkins is with Jack and Dylan who is wincing from pain but trying really hard not to show weakness. Dr. Jenkins asks Dylan how to reach his parents because they need to know what happened. Dylan says they don’t need to tell Dr. Jenkins anything. Dr. Jenkins tells them to just cough it up because they can get the car’s plate number from the police. Dylan replies that it’s not like they stole the car. It’s their dad’s car, he just doesn't know they took it. Jack thinks maybe they should tell. Dylan tells him to not say a word and to be a brick wall. Dr. Jenkins says he needs to take Dylan to surgery so she needs to talk to his parents. Dylan tells Dr. Jenkins to talk to him and she explains that she wants to try and go in laparoscopically, it makes a smaller incision. Dylan asks if that’ll leave a smaller scar because that’s great. His mom and dad will never have to know. Jack is looking at his brother and he’s very frightened. Dr. Jenkins and a nurse get Dylan on to a gurney and start moving him out of the room. Dylan calls back to Jack “You’re a brick wall, Jack! A brick wall!”
Jack is sitting in the Peds waiting area across from Dr. Jenkins. The doctor places a juice on the table but Jack ignores it. Dr. Jenkins says she needs to call his parents and Jack replies that he’s a brick wall. Dr. Jenkins knows that Jack doesn’t want to let his older brother down so she promises not to let Dylan know it came from him. Jack is silent so Dr. Jenkins tries a different approach by asking for his cell phone. Jack says he doesn’t have one but Dr. Jenkins says she saw him with one a minute ago. Jack replies that he’s seven and asks if she would give her seven-year-old a cell phone because that seems like bad parenting. Dr. Jenkins says she’s trying to help him and if he doesn’t cooperate she’s going to have to call Child Protective Services. Jack just stares her down. Dr. Jenkins asks him if he wants to do this the hard way and she will make the call. Jack tells her to do what she has to do. Jack takes a long pull from the juice box as he’s staring her down.
LYNN (50s)- Dr. Keane is still in a scrub cap and gown as she heads down the hall. Lynn approaches her and introduces herself saying she’s from ‘Help is Here’, the nanny service. They had a referral from another doctor who said it was an emergency and asks if she has time for an interview. Dr. Keane is in a hurry and asks if it could be quick. Lynn says of course and asks what she needs them for. Dr. Keane says she doesn’t know. She needs some help with her kid, just some support. Lynn asks her to be more specific. Dr. Keane explains she needs support. Her life and her work are unpredictable. She needs someone who can be there when she can’t. Dr. Keane starts crying in front of Lynn who doesn’t know what to do but stand up and hug her. There’s a sad and awkward beat as Lynn is hugging Dr. Keane who then steps back and apologizes and thanks Lynn for coming. Dr. Keane quickly takes off down the hall leaving Lynn thrown.
