Driving lessons.
Melendez, Morgan and Claire Brown grapple with a patient’s wish to perform an operation that would keep him from acting on his pedophilic urges. Meanwhile, Lea tries to teach Shaun to drive.
- Downer Ending: The Patient of the Week commits suicide.
- Driven to Suicide: George, the Patient of the Week, is a pedophile who has never acted upon his urges. The hormones that suppress his urges have caused a stroke, so he must discontinue them. He mutilates his scrotum and asks the doctors to castrate him. Claire and Morgan eventually agree, but instead they repair his testicles to prevent unsurvivably low testosterone. Because of this, George commits suicide.
- Driving Test: Lea teaches Shaun to drive, using flawed but effective surgical metaphors, so Shaun can transport Glassman.
