01:09yeah right but a patient in liam's condition not only recovering from a gunshot wound but also
01:16battling a tumor bridget why would she sign off on this i don't know it's definitely not routine but
01:21i'm sure that bill told her he would bring in the absolute best kid we both know that he would
01:25spare no expense for his son no i hear you on that but you have got to admit that this is odd
01:30and it is not standard protocol there's got to be more to this

01:44so still no update from finn about liam no nothing
01:49huh well my dad i talked to him earlier and he updated me on sheila she's recovering at the house

02:47come here
03:03so
04:07The foot.
04:09Come on, the foot.
04:10Come on, you know, Sheila.
04:12Terrible patient.
04:18You are such a good nurse to me.
04:20Listen, I'll always take care of you, but come on, you know better.
04:22You got to keep it elevated.
04:24Keep it elevated.
04:25I'm not my first radio cowboy.
04:30Hey, Deacon, can you come take a look at this?
04:32Yeah.
04:32Liam, Liam, Liam.
04:44Hey, have you heard anything more about Liam?
04:58Um, nothing new.
05:03I can't believe she's gone.
05:08My granddaughter is gone.
05:13With Sheila, it's so complicated.
05:16Even more so now.
05:18I mean, I do feel as though I have this sense of gratitude for what she did for me.
05:24Thankfully, she just lost a toe.
05:27It could have been far worse.
05:29Like what Liam went through?
05:31Getting shot?
05:33Fighting for his life?
05:34Finding out that he has an inoperable brain tumor?
05:36It's awful.
05:37Exactly.
05:38And Liam doesn't deserve this.
05:41I can't stop thinking about the girls.
05:45Kelly and Beth, they have no idea what's going on.
05:50And what are we going to do?
05:51We're just going to blindside them?
05:53One morning, they're just going to wake up and realize that their father is gone?
05:59I mean, how much longer are we supposed to keep it from them that their father is dying?
06:03I've tried Dr. Buckingham several times.
06:14Something is not right.
06:16Maybe she's in surgery.
06:17I'm sure she'll get back to us.
06:19There's got to be a reasonable explanation.
06:21Even if you are right and this is all above board,
06:24I've still got to get to the bottom of why Dr. Buckingham released Liam.
06:30By the way, he didn't just have a wisdom tooth removed.
06:33Wait, you want to send him home with me?
06:35Today?
06:37Is that a problem?
06:38Maybe.
06:40Look, I'll do whatever I have to do to look after my son.
06:43But shouldn't he be recovering in a medical facility?
06:46I understand this is highly unusual,
06:48but considering the experimental nature of the procedure
06:51and the way this facility is set up,
06:54Liam's recovery has to be done elsewhere, Bill.
06:56Look, hold on.
06:57I have a plan.
06:58Now, I could have set up outpatient care at a different facility,
07:02but I figured you might want a more private option,
07:05one where Liam could come home with you.
07:07We'll send him home in an ambulance,
07:12and there'll be a medical team ready to receive him
07:14and make him comfortable.
07:16And he'll have a dedicated nurse.
07:19But all of this,
07:21all of this would give you permission.
07:23Of course.
07:24You're sure about this?
07:26It's okay to move him this quickly?
07:29I'm sure.
07:29Then it deserved more from me.
07:42I was her grandmother.
07:45If I could have seen the pain that she was in,
07:49I could have given her more support,
07:51but no one said, what did I do?
07:52I pushed her away.
07:54I don't know.
07:55From where I'm sitting,
07:56I think you gave too much to her,
07:58and she took advantage.
08:00You gave her great advice.
08:01You said, leave town.
08:02Start a new life.
08:03It's not your fault that she squandered the chance.
08:06Yeah, but she's my family.
08:08Deacon, you know how I feel about family.
08:10I do.
08:11I do know, babe.
08:12I mean, you're so loyal,
08:13and that's one of the things I love the absolute most about you.
08:16But this time, it almost got you killed.
08:20She shot you.
08:21She didn't mean to shoot me, Deacon.
08:25She didn't mean any harm.
08:27All she wanted was to convince Steffi
08:30that she wanted to spend time with her father.
08:34And now, she's gone.
08:38Forever.
08:40And you're still here to thank God.
08:43No thanks to her.
08:45Sheila, don't you see what you did?
08:47If you hadn't have followed your gut about Luna,
08:50and found a way to warn Steffi,
08:52she might not be alive right now.
08:54You did what you wanted.
08:55You protected your family.
08:58You're a hero.
09:00Finn and Steffi, they have to realize that, too.
09:06And all this tells me is that Liam was stable before his release.
09:11Well, that's a really good sign, Finn.
09:14I know, I know.
09:16You still have a lot of questions.
09:17Well, don't you?
09:18Of course I do.
09:19Of course, but Grace is an exceptional doctor.
09:23She couldn't have made this decision lightly.
09:25I so want to believe that she was acting in Liam's best interest.
09:28And I want to believe that, too.
09:30I truly hope that I am overthinking all this.
09:33Me, too.
09:35Right now, I need to update my wife.
09:39I don't think she's going to be happy to hear Bill's
09:42in control of Liam's care.
09:44It's Finn.
09:51Hey, Finn.
09:51I'm with Hope.
09:52You're on speaker.
09:53Is there any news on Liam yet?
09:55Yeah, I'm with Bridget.
09:56I'll put you on speaker, too.
09:59How's Liam doing?
10:00Apparently, much better.
10:03Well, that's good, right?
10:04You're making it sound like it isn't.
10:06Yeah, what do you mean by that?
10:07Well, it means he's been released from the hospital.
10:10Released?
10:11Into Bill's care.
10:12What?
10:14No, no, no, no.
10:15That can't be right.
10:16We had the same reaction.
10:17Okay, so clearly Bill has paid someone off.
10:20Hold on, hold on.
10:22It doesn't matter if he's throwing money around.
10:24He needs to get signed off on this.
10:26He needs to talk to a doctor.
10:27And if it wasn't you or Bridget, then which doctor did it?
10:31Grace.
10:32Look, we're still trying to get answers,
10:34but Dr. Buckingham let this happen.
10:37Well, Liam should be returning from the MRI at any moment.
10:46Great.
10:47Think he'll be awake?
10:49Well, he's on a heavy sedation,
10:51and every patient's different.
10:53Yeah.
10:54I'm just eager to see him conscious.
10:57Um, Bill, I hate to keep bringing it up,
11:00but, um, you know,
11:02and I was hoping we could take care of this
11:03before Liam came back.
11:06About the wire transfer?
11:07Yeah, it's done.
11:08It's done.
11:09A million dollars.
11:11I gave you my word.
11:12I told you if you saved my son's life,
11:14I would give you virtually a blank check
11:16to do research to save other patients in the future.
11:20Sorry.
11:21I've got to take this.
11:22Sure.
11:23Don't worry.
11:28It's happening now.
11:30I told you I can't talk right now.
11:32You did it, Liam.
11:53You're a fighter.
11:56I'm right here,
11:57and I am not leaving your side.
11:59You made it through surgery.
12:21Dr. Buckingham is hopeful.
12:24Listen to this.
12:26You're coming home.
12:27We'll wait here till we have the results of the MRI.
12:33It'll tell us if the procedure was successful or not.
12:36In the meantime,
12:38we're ready to discharge Liam.
12:42You see this man right here?
12:46Take a good look.
12:47This is my firstborn son.
12:53And I don't know what I would do if something happened to him.
12:58You're trying to give us an incredible gift,
13:01the gift of wartime.
13:03And I'm so grateful.
13:06And I'm so grateful.
13:07Truly.
13:08I'm not really sure that Steffi could see what I did.
13:23It was heroic.
13:28I was just doing what I felt I needed to.
13:31I think we should be focusing on Liam.
13:37I can't deny it.
13:39I'm...
13:39I'm worried about him, too.
13:42What Liam had to go through cannot be for nothing.
13:49Liam has got to be okay.
13:50Crystal hasn't gone back to me.
13:55Yeah, she's...
13:56Hasn't returned any of my text messages, either.
13:59Oh, wait.
14:00This is the charge nurse.
14:01Hi, Margaret.
14:03Oh, that's, um...
14:05That's not why I called.
14:06Have you heard from Dr. Buckingham?
14:08Is she in surgery today?
14:10Oh, okay.
14:11Uh, well, thank you for checking.
14:15Let me guess.
14:16I'm not in surgery.
14:17She's not even in the building.
14:19Seriously?
14:20What's...
14:21Hi.
14:22What's going on?
14:23Have we heard from Dr. Buckingham?
14:24We just found out she's not even here at the hospital.
14:27I feel like being MIA is going around.
14:29I tried calling Bill at least 15 times on the way here,
14:31and he hasn't picked up.
14:33So, like, that's it.
14:34That's all the information we have.
14:35Liam is just going home with Bill.
14:38He's home with Bill.
14:39Pretty much.
14:40Okay.
14:50Uh, Sheena, thank you.
15:07Looks like you've got us all hooked up here.
15:09It's my pleasure, Mr. Spencer.
15:12I'll be monitoring his vitals, checking on him, his incision.
15:16Okay.
15:18Um, Dr. Buckingham said something about Liam's latest MRI results.
15:24Uh, yes.
15:25As soon as they're sent over, I'll share them with you.
15:28Okay.
15:29Thanks.
15:29Thanks.
15:29You're home now, son.
15:55You know, you really are incredible.
15:57I mean, everything you've been through, and you're thinking about Liam.
16:04He deserves the support and the attention.
16:06Absolutely.
16:07But I meant what I said.
16:09Liam wasn't the only hero.
16:11You're a hero, too, Sheila.
16:12And even if I'm the only person that recognizes it, you are.
16:18And I don't think I've ever been prouder of you.
16:22Or more afraid of losing you.
16:25For good.
16:27Hey.
16:31Baby, it's okay.
16:35I'm right here.
16:37You didn't lose me.
16:40I'm right here.
16:41I hope Liam's vitals remain good.
17:01Hmm.
17:03Really?
17:05Mm-hmm.
17:06I should try to get Steffi at home.
17:19It's Bill.
17:22Bill, Liam's been released.
17:23Are you aware of this?
17:24Yes.
17:26He's home with me.
17:27Bill, it's Finn.
17:28I'm here with Bridget, Hope, and Steffi.
17:31Look, I have some serious concerns.
17:33Liam has been released into your care?
17:35How does this happen?
17:36What's going on?
17:37I can't get into the details right now.
17:41But Liam had surgery today.
17:44Surgery?
17:44Another surgery?
17:45Grace didn't even have one scheduled.
17:47That's because it wasn't done at the hospital.
17:49It was an experimental procedure performed by Dr. Buckingham and a colleague of hers from
17:55out of the country.
17:57She said it could save his life.
18:00So what?
18:01Now he's just at home with you.
18:03I mean, did the surgery go well?
18:05Wait.
18:05I'm sorry.
18:06He's already at your house after another surgery?
18:09Yes.
18:10We have every conceivable medical necessity here.
18:13And there's also a nurse lucky after him.
18:15So what's the prognosis?
18:16Is there a chance that Liam could live?
18:19Yes.
18:22Now I have to go be with my son.
18:33I would go to hell and back for you and your brothers.
18:37This procedure has to work.
18:40You are going to be cured.
18:43But Liam might live?
18:55Well, you know what this means.
18:57Steffi, what we were talking about earlier, our daughters might not lose her father after
19:01all.
19:01You're going to be cured.
19:02Yeah.
19:03Oh, Lord.
19:03Oh.
19:04Oh, Lord.
19:04Oh, God.
19:05Oh.
19:06Oh.
19:06Oh, Lord.
19:08Oh, love.
19:12Oh.
19:14Amen.
