OKAY HERE WE GO…
PVH - Angie tells Krystal they won’t know anything on Tad until the surgery is over. She’s going to scrub in and keep a watch on things. Angie tells Jesse and the kids she’s going in and hugs/kisses Jesse. She tells him Tad is in good hands (baby). She tells the kids goodbye and leaves. Frankie says there is no way in hell he can sit around and do nothing so he’s gonna see if they need any extra hands in the ER. Cass tells him he’s not even on duty and he doesn’t care. Jesse says he’s gonna help Tad too. Cass asks him how and he says he’s going to find his little girl.
JR wants to know what Adam is doing here - he’s freaked out by his presence. Adam asks Krystal if there is anything he can do for her. She goes off on him just a little, her husbands been shot, yada yada. They talk about Kathy and Julia. Krystal says Kathy doesn’t have anyone now. Dixie tells Adam, Kathy still has her father. End scene.
INTRO MUZAK
PVH - Greg brings coffee, etc. to Ruth, Opal and those waiting including Cass. She’s with them since Frankie and Jesse are off doing their thing now. Greg starts to tell stories of Tad the cad and they have a laugh - easing the pain and stress of the situation.
JR accuses Adam of being the grim reaper and only being there to watch Tad dies. Adam says he’s there for Krystal and JR. And yes he doesn’t like Tad, but he doesn’t want him to die.
IN THE O.R. - Tad is continuing to lose blood and they are having trouble in surgery extracting the bullet fragments, etc. One down, twelve to go, Jake says. Dixie watches on. End scene.
AT TAD’S OFFICE - Jesse’s yelling out of frustration of all the cold calling that isn’t working out. Adian tries to calm him down and says Tad would chill at this point, play some pool or darts, etc. Jesse says he’s up for that and they start a game of pool. They talk about the roof top and Aidan blames himself for not being more alert and helping save Tad or Julia. Jesse tells him not to feel guilty, he was doing his job. End scene.
COMMERCIALS
PVH - Cass asks Ruth if she’d like her magazine and Ruth tells her no thank you dear. Cass walks off and runs into Dre. He asks about Tad and she tells him it’s touch and go.
IN THE E.R. - Frankie tends to Randy. She has no idea how she got where she is. Frankie tells her that according to the paramedics, she was found in the street unconscious. She doesn’t believe Frankie. He asks if she was attacked, mugged, or anything like that and she tells him she doesn’t know. “The last thing I remember, I was walking home from work, and I don’t know, bam, I end up here,” she tells him. Frankie tells her he’s going to run a full workup on her and make sure everything checks out. She says she’s fine and just wants out of there. “Whoa, whoa, whoa — see? Hold on, sister souljah,” he says. He tells her she has some serious bruises and wants to know if there is anyone he can call for her. She tells him no and to just do his job and get her out of there.
In the waiting room, Greg asks Krystal if there is anything he can do for her. She asks if he can guarantee her that Tad will walk out of here. And he tells her ther are no guarantees, he wishes there were.
O.R. - The docs continue to work on Tad as Dr. Joe and Angie watch. Tad is bleeding out and becoming very unstable and it’s not looking good.
BACK AT TAD’S OFFICE - Aidan continues to blame himself for Tad and Julia. Jesse tells him not to go there, it’s not worth it. The only one to blame is Gardner. Aidan tells Jesse he can’t stop thinking about Julia’s little girl, Kathy and Jenny. Jesse tells him they need to put that energy to good use. He asks if Tad looked for his little girl everyday and Aidan nods and shows him a box full of letters that Tad wrote for Kate. Each week he’d write two letters to her and when he found her and she was old enough to understand, he was going to share them with her so she’d know that he never stopped thinking about her. Jesse reaches into the box and pulls out a letter. “Dear Kate, this is your old man again. Still missing you like crazy.” End scene.
PVH - Krystal tells Babe that Kathy has to be told about Julia. Babe tells her there’s time for that, when Tad’s better. Krystal is very worried about Kathy, but doesn’t want to leave the hospital. She thinks that by now Kathy knows something is wrong and agrees she can’t tell her right now.
IN THE O.R. - Things are going from worse to even more worse as Tad almost slips away. They bring in the paddles to try to revive Tad. Angie watches in horror and says “come on Tad, come on.” And then one of the doctors yells, he’s back!!! Jake tells Tad not to do that again.
IN THE HALLWAY - Ruth asks JR if he’d like to join them in the chapel and he says’ he doesn’t want to give up his spot there. Dixie is next to him, watching on. Adam’s having a dream of sorts as he sees Colby being brought in a guerney as she was shot instead of Julia. We hear Colby’s voice “Julia was sitting where I was when she got shot — Daddy, where you told me to stay put if…” Adam tells Dixie that she said his loved ones wouldn’t suffer and she says they are suffering. He says he sees it, they love Tad and they are afraid to lose him. Dixie tells him someone else close to him is in pain too. He says Krystal. End scene.
FINAL SCENES
AT PVH - Krystal, Aidan and Jesse are concerned it’s taking too long for Tad’s surgery. Frankie asks Jesse how the search is going for Kate and he tells him no luck yet. They need Tad to be a part of this search so they talk about when he gets on his feet, he can man up and help them. Krystal is very concerned about Tad and wishes she could be in there to do something for him, to help him she tells JR. JR tells her she has helped him by being his wife. “But what have I given him, huh? I mean, nothing close to what he’s given me. I didn’t love him enough. He deserves to be loved better and I couldn’t do it,” she says. End scene.
A social worker and Frankie are talking about Randy. He tells her that he thinks she’s being abused based on her fracture and bruises, etc. She is off to talk to Randy, trying to get more info.
Adam and Krystal talk and she tells him she wishes what he had said a while back was true, that he knew where Kate was. Adam is saved by the bell so to speak as Dr. Joe and Angie arrive. Angie tells Krystal that Tad made it through surgery. But there’s a rub…the bullets did major damage and they don’t know if the repair will hold. The next 24 hours are crucial, Joe tells them.
At Tad’s bedside in recovery, Jake tells him he’s done his job and Tad needs to do his now. “You hear me? We love you and we need you to stick around. So don’t go anywhere. You understand me?” Jake says. Jake departs and we Tad stirring. He wakes up and sees Dixie. He tells her he wishes they could have another chance. “We can,” she whispers. “Huh?” he says. End scene.
