Recap

Lea wakes up alone in the bed. Shaun is at the table sending save the date cards. He couldn't sleep. Shaun says it's not his ASD, it's that Salene has changed things for the worse. He wants to show Salen evidence that her ideas are wrong.

Lim thinks they should get a couch and some art on the walls. She starts also wanting to give Mateo advice about Andrews. She wants him to make it work.

Morgan and Park argue in the locker room about the changes and whether they will result in budget cuts. Anyway Morgan is in a lot of pain because she had tacos last night and couldn't pass gas in front of Park. Salen shows up in a towel and says she had a great idea. Net time you stay over at a boyfriend's, take a dump while they're in the shower.

Shaun's visions are back! He sees the skull as Asher works on a guy with broken bones in his face. Asher thinks this is awesome. The security guard who brought the guy in puts a bad review into the review machine.

Shaun starts talking about how he doesn't like the hand dryers at the same time as the surgeries.

Andrews sees a woman who has stopped having seizures since getting an implant but the company that makes the implant wants to turn it off. Mateo and Park think that's wrong but Andrews understands. They have to figure out a new treatment plan. Andrews and Mateo don't agree about the treatment. Mateo's idea is complex but he is sure they can pull it off. Andrews doesn't like his attempt at flattery but thinks it's a great idea.

Lea sees that one of the save the dates is for Marcy Murphy and doesn't mail that one.

Salen is worried that the surgery will leave the hospital liable. Andrews thinks they need to get Salen on board. Mateo doesn't.

Salen walks in and complains about the surgeries that Lim has scheduled and says that insurance doesn't cover all his surgeries. Lim calls Salen on her attitude. Salen says the patient made poor choices and those have consequences.

Shaun finds Glassman not in his office and a new secretary who doesn't know how to take his long message complaining about Salen's changes. He wants Glassman to change everything back.

Lim and Mateo meet. Mateo complains about Salen. Lim thinks Mateo is not used to having a boss.

Andrews goes to see Salen and has ideas to reduce the risk. She approves it and is glad he came to her.

Lea and Morgan meet in the break room. Morgan complains about the food. Lea doesn't want to reopen old wounds and risk a Shaun meltdown so she hasn't sent the card to his mother. Morgan thinks Lea shouldn't coddle Shaun. They start talking about farting (seriously?)

Lim goes to see Glassman at home. She needs his Presidential clout. He agrees to call the insurance company even though he's sure it won't help.

Lea comes to see Shaun. Shaun can't focus on what she's saying. He's complaining that everything is worse thanks to Salen. Lea takes his hand and says he'll figure it out. Shaun leaves to stabilize the patient's airway..

They have to turn off the implant so they can get a brain scan while the patient is having a seizure.

Meanwhile, Shaun is hot while everyone is cold because he's wearing long underwear with the scrubs. Asher and Jordan argue about whether there should be a chapel for parents to pray in. Anyway Jordan has an idea to make 2 surgeries instead of 3. It would save costs but is more risky.

The patient has a seizure. They have gotten worse so Mateo's surgical idea is even riskier.

Park thinks Salen is right and it's too risky. Mateo says no, the patient needs this more than ever. Andrews thinks he can get Salen's support.

Shaun goes to see Glassman, who wants to stomp grapes rather than deal with Salen. He tries to convince Shaun to stomp grapes with him. Shaun doesn't seem happy as he does this. Shaun freaks out and says he doesn't like it and he doesn't think Glassman does either.

Lim and Andrews argue about Mateo. Lim starts up with Morgan about the farting issue and how she thinks Morgan is afraid Park won't be turned on by the real her.

Jordan and Asher get into an argument about prayer again but they get paged. The patient with the facial reconstruction has an infection.

They can't combine surgeries while there is an infection. Shaun says his original plan was better. Asher says they need a miracle. They start arguing again. Shaun complains they are fighting about an irrelevant issue. Asher complains that Shaun's concerns about scrubs are irrational. Shaun says they aren't irrational.

Andrews comes to see Glassman who says that Salen can't stop Andrews and that he can handle this himself.  He is busy making some sort of weird painting. Andrews thinks Glassman is bored out of his mind. Glassman sa ys sarcastically he feels like a real hero.

Lim tries to talk to Salen who wants her decisions respected. Lim says Salen made a commitment to be an asset. Salen insists profit leads to innovation.

Andrews tries to explain about the mind of the surgeon. He tells Salen she needs allies to make these changes. Salen says she''ll back Mateo's miracle... this time.

Shaun says he can't do the surgeries with these scrubs and goes to change.. He is itching and red. He starts to get an idea but the sound of the hand dryer messes him up.

Shaun goes and interrupts Salen to give her all sorts of research about why hand dryers are not as good as paper towels. He tells her she's wrong. . Lea tries to intervene. Salen says they are both right. Salen tries to insist it's Shaun's ASD. She values his perspective because her ADHD gives her a unique perspective. Salen says only Shaun can wear his old scrubs.  Shaun seems to go into a trance and then says he has to go.

Shaun returns and says they need an ultrasonic scalpel. He has a plan that is covered by insurance.

Lea comes to see Glassman who is gardening and says he's fine. He insists Shaun is fine too and is just dealing with a lot of changes. Lea tells him about the save the date card and how she doesn't want to have to protect Shaun from his mom. Glassman is not interested in helping with this problem.

Andrews and Mateo start their surgery. Mateo apologizes to Andrews for questioning his motives.

Lim and Shaun do their surgery as well. Asher and Jordan argue about what to do. Lim tells them to stop it. She makes them laugh.

Andrews, Park, and Mateo wait for their patient to wake up. She does and asks why they haven't started yet and is told they started five hours ago and the surgery was a success.

After the surgery, Asher apologizes to Jordan. Shaun shows up wanting a tequila.

Morgan wriggles while watching TV with Park and finally farts. Park does too and they laugh and cuddle.

Jordan and Asher sing karaoke together.  Shaun gives Lea a drink and has a toast to himself. Lea tells Shaun she doesn't want to invite his mom. Shaun says he only invited her because the wedding books said he had to. He'd be happy not having her there.

Mateo tells Lim she was right. She likes his confidence. They go out and see a big poster of Shaun saying this hospital has a doctor with Autism.

Mateo: I've dealt with super donors and dictators. I can handle Andrews.

To get Salen to change her mind, you have to think about what's important to her, not you.
