Elizabeth has a visitor, a friend who has stage four cancer but doesn’t want treatment because she is working on starting the first medical school for the deaf. The school will be owned and operated by the deaf. She just needs one thing, Elizabeth. She wants her to run it and tells her it is time to leave New Amsterdam and give back.

Elizabeth is still with her friend, who says when she dies there will be an ad in the times, when Elizabeth dies they will build a statue.

Iggy is in the penthouse, he finds out that the man, Harlan, is a coder for bitcoin. Iggy asks why he started hanging out outside the hospital. The man says they experiment on children, they zap their brains, tie them up with rubber, and hurt them. He is saving those kids. When he was a kid he was a patient at New Amsterdam.

Vanessa is alive, and Lauren tells her she is going through withdrawal from heroin. Lauren tells her that she tried to kill herself to which Vanessa says that even though she is nice to her now, their mother died hating her. They both start screaming and Vanessa falls to the floor and has a seizure. Floyd enters the room and rushes Vanessa to surgery.

Max goes to speak to Mika, to see what happened to her earlier, she looked like she was having a panic attack. She mistakingly calls the patient Elliott, his name is Duane. Max asks about Elliott, he died. Max says he has been watching her on the floor she is a really good doctor. She says she is an excellent doctor, she worked on Elliot flawlessly, she went home that night and he died, she could have saved him. He was her patient and she left him to die.

Harlan tells Iggy that he was experimented on when he was a child with electroshock, the guy says it is like being in a cage, a cage you can’t see. Iggy says they don’t do that anymore. Iggy promises that if he goes to his office, he will get better. Harlan starts to freak out, tells him no, and says get out.

Elizabeth says no to her friend.

Vanessa is stable, and Lauren is sitting with her when Floyd walks in. Lauren tells him that Vanessa overdosed right across the street from the hospital, she choose the place so she would see her like this, that is how much she hates her. Lauren starts crying why didn’t she try to help her, Floyd tells her that an addict has to help themselves.

Iggy is leaving the penthouse, Harlan is throwing out some trash, all empty protein shake bottles and Iggy looks curious.

Max tells Mika that she can’t see patients until they talk. She says she could have stayed, but she choose to leave. The last night she had a full night’s sleep in her own bed was the night Elliott died. He tells her she has to go home and she reminds him that he can’t order her to do that.

Elizabeth tells Max that she wants to take the job. He asks her if they can talk alone. She admits that all she wants to be is a surgeon, she is not a teacher.

Iggy has determined that Harlan was only drinking protein shakes, he was missing vitamins, Iggy helped him.

Floyd finds Lauren, Vanesa is awake and is asking for her. Floyd tells her that she doesn’t have to do this. And she doesn’t.

And, she tells Elizabeth that whoever has been seeing and hearing her, she should tell them to do it more. Elizabeth runs to Max’s office, but he is not there.
