- Natalie Manning: But you have to tell me.
- Will Halstead: And violate the sacred oath?
- Natalie Manning: [laughing] It's not like you're guarding the Holy Grail. It's a holiday gift exchange.
- Will Halstead: That we call "Secret Santa", because we're supposed to keep it a secret.
- Natalie Manning: Okay, so who is it? Is it April?
- Will Halstead: I'm not gonna tell you.
- Natalie Manning: Fine. Don't tell me. But it's only a matter of time before you crack.
- Will Halstead: Not a chance.
- Natalie Manning: What did you do?
- Will Halstead: I made some calls. Since Zika's a public health emergency, the CDC has to investigate all inconclusive test results.
- Natalie Manning: I'm impressed.
- Will Halstead: Natalie, back there, were you gonna...?
- Natalie Manning: Let's just say it is a good thing you showed up when you did.
- Natalie Manning: How's Shannon's husband?
- Will Halstead: Bruce Kim? Turns out he wasn't in Buffalo. He was in Aruba with another woman. Tested inconclusive for Zika.
- Natalie Manning: What? Well, we have to tell Shannon.
- Will Halstead: We can't. Not without violating his confidentiality. He refuses to tell her.
- Natalie Manning: That's ridiculous. I mean, if he was HIV positive, we could break confidentiality. Doesn't Zika get the same exemption?
- Will Halstead: No. Unfortunately, Zika's so new, there's no legal precedent.
- Natalie Manning: But what if they have sex? What if he infects the fetus? I mean, you've seen babies with microcephaly.
- Will Halstead: Natalie, I have spent the last hour trying to find a way around HIPPA. I've got nothing. He'll come after the hospital, and my license, incidentally.
- Natalie Manning: So you're just giving up?
- Will Halstead: There's nothing we can do. We can't justify breaking the law over an inconclusive test result.
- [she sighs, and he sees the gears in her head turning]
- Will Halstead: I know what you're thinking. Don't do anything.
