Hey, don't sweat it.
I told Frankie that it'll be our gift to the hospital.
Some poor kid will find Aquaman,
- and it's gonna be his lucky day. - Yeah, well,
our son is not gonna leave here without him, so...
Oh, God.
Where else do you think he could be?
Baby, it's been a long day.
- Come on, we should get going. - No.
I need to apologize to Gina.
No.
No, you don't.
Okay, she gets it.
Your... your family is cracked.

In a good way.

How's your dad?
Still out of it,

Your dad's surgeon reported me to management,
and the hospital put me on a temporary suspension.
Wait, what?
Why? Because you gave a second opinion?
No, he saw it as more of a challenge.
Talking about a patient in front of the family
violates hospital protocol, so...
Okay, well, is there someone that I can call?
Stella, Stella, please.
Because y-you should not be punished for this.
You got to leave it alone.
