You Give Me Fever

"" is the second episode of the first season of Carol's Second Act and the show's second episode overall. It aired on October 3, 2019 on CBS.

Plot
Carol is assigned her first patient: an elderly woman complaining of fevers. When no obvious problems show up in the patient's tests, Dr. Jacobs orders Carol to discharge the patient in accordance with hospital protocol. Instead, Carol defies her by exploiting a loophole to keep the patient for a few extra hours so she can run further tests, which turn up nothing.

Meanwhile, Daniel has been tasked with drawing blood, which he keeps putting off until Lexie realizes that he doesn't know how. Dr. Frost arranges for Nurse Dennis to teach Daniel how to draw blood, which Lexie eagerly records.

Carol finds suspicious pills in her patient's bag, and has her daughter Jenny identify them, which allows her to determine that the patient has been prescribed the wrong kind of medicine. Dr. Jacobs then punishes her for insubordination by making her do additional paperwork.
