Ep 8. The Hankover

Hank, the protagonist, faces a considerable hangover after he drinks too much at a charity auction, and he wakes up not remembering anything from the previous night. At the same time, he tries to keep his medical practice afloat, managing both his patients and his personal life. One patient he has to attend to is a young woman who is suspected of having a life-threatening disease. Her condition requires a cutting edge medical procedure, which forces Hank to reach out to his estranged father, Eddie.

Eddie is a former doctor who left his practice and family years ago, leaving Hank and his brother Evan in the care of their mother. The relationship between Hank and Eddie is initially tense, but they are forced to work together to save the young woman's life. Luckily, Eddie is performing his own "experiment" which could be the solution to saving the young woman's life. Meanwhile, Hank's assistant Divya is dealing with her mother-in-law's visit, which was unexpected and is causing a stressful time for Divya.

Hank is also dealing with his relationship with his girlfriend Jill, who is going through a difficult time in her professional life. Jill is a hospital administrator, and she's forced to fire one of her employees due to budget cuts. Hank tries to offer her support, but their relationship is strained due to the fact that Jill doesn't believe Hank is taking the required time to be with her.

Overall, the episode "The Hankover" is a typical Roy Pains episode, emphasizing both Hank's medical prowess and his relationships with the people around him. He has to navigate through both his professional and personal lives throughout the episode, dealing with the complexities that come with both. The episode is both emotional and intense, leaving viewers with a sense of satisfaction as Hank and his father come through to save the young woman's life.
