What I'll Remember
It’s the day after Charlie’s computer hack killed a teenage patient, and Hannah tells Charlie to leave her apartment by the time she gets home from work.
Hannah and Amy work together on a case. Hannah is struggling emotionally after the teenage boy’s death. She freezes during a code and fears she’ll never be able to do her job as a doctor again. Amy tries to help her throughout the episode. We see how maternal Amy can be. She tells Hannah that she knows about loss and what happens when people don’t forgive themselves.
Sonya and TJ go offsite to a scoliolis clinic at a public school. Sonya thinks this is Joan’s way of sidelining her now that Amy is going for Chief Resident. TJ says that it was supposed to be him and Jake running the clinic, but Jake is in Arizona cleaning out his dad’s house.
TJ scrubs in with Joan on a surgery. It’s clear that surgery is the career path he wants. Joan encourages TJ and tells him how impressed she is with him.
Joan, Michael, and Amy convince Max to bring in the FBI cybercrime unit to investigate the hack. The FBI uncovers the raw audio from the AI-generated messages. It’s Charlie’s voice, although no one can identify who he is yet.
Hannah sees FBI agents at the hospital and freakls out. She tries to contact Charlie. When he doesn’t answer her texts and calls throughout the day, she becomes increasingly worried about him. In flashbacks, we see Hannah and Charlie as they find their father dead by suicide in his car (carbon monoxide poisoning). Then we see Hannah having a mental breakdown in med school and admitting herself to an inpatient mental health facility. Hannah talks to a therapist at the facility and decide to get revenge on whoever caused her dad’s problems. She’s energized by the idea and checks herself out of the facility.
Katie goes to the hospital and asks Gina about the audio recording she received from Amy’s email account yesterday, the one where Amy said she always loved Danny more and can’t even look at Katie anymore. Gina clarifies that Amy never said the things in that message and realizes it must have been a deep fake.
Amy goes to Michael’s house after work. They assure Katie that the audio recording was AI-generated. Michael says that he has the list of doctors for Amy to look at, and they scroll through it on his computer. Amy notices that Brian Clark isn’t there, so she googles his obituary. As soon as his face pops up on the screen, Amy is horrified. That’s the man she’s been seeing in her memories. The obituary says that Brian Clark died on March 18, 2021. We know that he committed suicide three months after leaving Westside and that it was around Christmas, so he must have left his job in December 2020.
At the end of the episode, Hannah walks into her apartment to find that Charlie has overdosed.
