==Full Summary==
Winston arrives at the hospital after a run. He passes Jo and Link, whose kids are in their strollers holding tablets. Amelia walks by and is dismayed to see Scout has his own tablet. She advocated for limited screen time. She's paged for a consult.
Taryn catches up with Mika, who has been ignoring her. Her Meditations for a Woman Scorned podcast advised waiting until she's no longer angry before talking. She reveals that she's mad at Taryn for getting in the way of her becoming a better surgeon. She doesn't want to talk about it. Taryn assigned her to cardio today.
Catherine is getting ready in Richard's office. She has back-to-back meetings all day and she has to make an appearance on the peds floor since important benefactors are coming in with their daughters. Richard has an administrative day, which she points out he has been having frequently lately.
Levi catches up with Monica. He submitted his personal statement for his fellowship application. He was hoping she would put in a good word. She asks him why peds. He says Webber suggested it, he likes kids, and peds surgeons are in demand. Based on his answer, she declines a recommendation.
In the skills lab, Lucas declines Simone's offer to study together a the house tonight. Bailey arrives with wellness kits to help them take care of themselves. One by one, the interns are paged by their services. 
Teddy and Mika enter the controlled access unit to see a patient with suspected TB who came from prison. Mika is curious why the man landed in prison. Teddy warns her the patient room is a little different, with limited supplies and everything strapped down. Inside, they meet Daniel Jiménez, who thanks them for seeing him. Teddy has the guard remove one pair of handcuffs as she listens to a coughing Daniel's chest.
In the VIP room, Jules presents the case of Misty Valentine, 15, who had an above-the-knee amputation two years ago following an MVC. She has pain from the socket connecting her residual limb to the prosthesis. She was a long-distance cyclist. Catherine comes in to meet with the parents, who thank her getting them in. Link says the plan is to perform a residual limb revision to give the prosthesis a better fit, in hopes of reducing the pain. 
Outside the room, Catherine questions if that surgery is the best Monica and Link can do. Link says it's the standard of care. Catherine reminds them that the Valentines are major benefactors and urges them to do better. She walks off as Link describes what just happened as the Catherine Fox Effect.
In the ICU, Dorian tells him mother to back off. He wants real food and to be discharged. Richard says they're not quite there yet. His labs this morning showed an anemia so they need to run more tests. Dorian refuses. He's done with all the tests. He wants to go home. He makes everyone leave the room.
Outside, Valeria asks Richard not to give up on her son. Richard tells her to go home so she can get a break. He asks Lucas to come back later to try again, even if he has to try every hour. He sees this kind of behavior more often in long-time ICU patients. All they can do is be patient.
Owen finds Bailey handing out more wellness bags in the lobby. She disapproves of the interns' lack of gratitude.
Down in the ER, Benson confronts Simone with his suspicion that she told Bailey about what he said up on the roof. She denies but he doesn't buy it.

==Medical Notes==
===June Sally===
*Diagnosis:
*Doctors:
**Monica Beltran (pediatric surgeon)
**Levi Schmitt (surgical resident)
*Treatment:
**Chest tube
Levi told Monica that June's chest tube had minimal output and no air leak, so she would be ready to be discharged tomorrow.
===Daniel Jiménez===
*Diagnosis:
**Metastatic adenocarcinoma
*Doctors:
**Teddy Altman (cardiothoracic surgeon)
**Winston Ndugu (cardiothoracic surgeon)
**Mika Yasuda (surgical intern)
*Treatment:
**Image-guided biopsy
Daniel was at the hospital to be tested for tuberculosis. He said he'd had the cough for about a year and back pain and stomach pain more recently. He'd also lost some weight. They got blood work and did a chest x-ray, which showed a large mass. They ordered a CT to get a better look at the mass. The CT showed mets on his liver, spine, pelvis, and adrenal glands in addition to those in his lungs. They performed an image-guided biopsy, and the preliminary diagnosis from pathology was adenocarcinoma. They looked at his options, which were limited by him being in a prison. After hearing about his options, Daniel decided not to get any treatment.
===Misty Valentine===
*Diagnosis:
*Doctors:
**Monica Beltran (pediatric surgeon)
**Atticus Lincoln (orthopedic surgeon)
**Levi Schmitt (surgical resident)
**Jules Millin (surgical intern)
*Treatment:
**Residual limb revision
**Rod implantation
Misty, 15, had been in a car accident two years prior resulting in the amputation of her leg above the knee. She had pain in her residual limb due to her prosthetic, so Link was planning to due a residual limb revision to allow her prosthetic to fit better. When Catherine challenged them to do better, Link proposed osseointegration, implanting a titanium rod into her femur, which would connect directly to her prosthesis. Link had only done two before, both in adults, but he was sure he could do it on Misty. In surgery, they placed the rod, but found it hadn't worked and wouldn't fit perfectly, so Link got her parents' permission to remove more of her femur to make it fit perfectly. The surgery was successful and Misty was told she'd be able to ride her bike again.
===Dorian Cardenas===
*Diagnosis:
**Anemia
**Ulcer
**Upper GI bleed
*Doctors:
**Richard Webber (general surgeon)
**Lucas Adams (surgical intern)
*Treatment:
**Endoscopy
Dorian was struggling with his prolonged stay in the ICU, as he wasn't allowed to eat and he wanted to leave the hospital. His hemoglobin was low, so they wanted to run more tests, but Dorian refused to allow them to draw more blood or do any more tests. When he started coughing up blood, Richard did an endoscopy, which showed an upper GI bleed due to an ulcer. They were able to clip the bleed and he stabilized.
===Miss Land===
*Diagnosis:
*Doctors:
**Benson Kwan (surgical intern)
*Treatment:
**Home health
Benson asked a nurse to make sure home health was set up for Miss Land.
===Jagger===
*Diagnosis:
**Necrotizing enterocolitis
*Doctors:
**Monica Beltran (pediatric surgeon)
*Treatment:
Jagger, 3 months, died of advanced necrotizing enterocolitis.
