Max is there, he tells Floyd they are going to run all the tests, they are there for her.

She tells him that if he doesn’t do something he is going to go down as the person who lost the state’s first public hospital.

He says that their daughter is on the brink of serious clinical depression. Her mother says she is not dead and that is what makes them sleep at night, they will not allow it.

Dora is still in the hospital, she tells him that he isn’t doing the PSA, she is doing it. Max goes to see Helen and tells her that she is putting the hospital’s name on a dangerous lie. She tells him that Milly came in, she might have a week to live and she got to tell her that her kids are not going to have a mother. She missed six vital chemo treatments because she was too afraid to come into the hospital because of COVID. If she had come in a month ago, it may have saved her life. He says he won’t even bring his own daughter to the hospital, how can he ask anyone else to be there.
