Quotes 

• Dr. Will Halstead : Allison's LP results. Encephalitis.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : Oh, my god. HSE?

  Dr. Will Halstead : Yeah. Fever, neuro issues, seizures, now the coma. Virus fits the symptoms.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : Yeah. I just didn't see it coming. I mean, she's only thirteen. Herpes?

• Dr. Natalie Manning : Allison's pelvic exam yielded evidence of vaginal trauma: perforated hymen, mucosal tears, severe edema, swelling. All clear evidence of sexual assault.

  Sharon Goodwin : Timeline?

  Dr. Will Halstead : Yeah, the status of the bruising indicates the trauma took place about five to seven days ago, consistent with the incubation period of the encephalitis.

  Sharon Goodwin : Poor baby. All right, I'll active the rape protocols and notify P.D. This case is now a crime.

• Jay Halstead : I spoke to the parents together and independently.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : And?

  Jay Halstead : I don't like the stepdad for the guy. He offered to give a polygraph and submit his DNA. Offenders don't usually behave that way.

  Dr. Will Halstead : Any other leads?

  Jay Halstead : Allison's comprehensive tox screen detected trace amounts of triazolam in her blood. That's a benzo, right?

  Dr. Natalie Manning : Yeah. A sedative hypnotic with amnestic properties.

  Jay Halstead : The stepdad's an accountant. I don't see him getting his hands on that.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : Unless maybe he was prescribed it. I mean, it is sometimes used for insomnia.

  Dr. Will Halstead : Yeah, it definitely puts you out. The hospital uses it mostly to treat patient anxiety, usually before procedures, MRIs scans, things like that.

  Jay Halstead : So she could have gotten it here. Did you give it her before the CT scan?

  Dr. Natalie Manning : No.

  Dr. Will Halstead : [checking his tablet]  No.

  Jay Halstead : Another doctor then, maybe. Did the mom mention any other recent medical issues?

  Dr. Natalie Manning : No, nothing. Other than the symptoms that brought her in today.

  [remembering something] 

  Dr. Natalie Manning : Braces. Allison did just get her braces on.

  Dr. Will Halstead : Dentists also sometimes use triazolam.

• Janelle Nicholson : The orthodontist? I was in the waiting room the whole time just checking my e-mails. When she came out, she smiled, showed me her braces, didn't seem any different.

  Dr. Will Halstead : The police suspect instead of nitrous, he used triazolam. It knocked her out, ensured she had no memory of the assault.

  Kevin : Sick bastard.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : I know this is a lot to process, but once Allison is stronger, the detective would like to come in and ask her a few questions.

  Janelle Nicholson : Look, Ali just had a brush with death, and all she cares about is if she can still go to the junior high dance. She's so innocent. I don't want to take that from her. One day we'll have to, but not today.

  Dr. Natalie Manning : We understand. We'll be back in the morning to check on her.
