"Strategic Planning" is the episode of the first season of Royal Pains.
Hank gets called in when a Senator's son gets infected with an unknown disease.
Hank and Evan are jogging on the beach, where Evan is lagging behind. Evan wants to talk about strategic managing of Hank Med. He states that this isn't like the emergency room people do not just show up. He explains all of this while Hanks runs circles around him. Evan then brings up something he read in the New England journal and suggests trying to use that as a way to get patients. Evan attempts to demonstrate on dogs but one of the dogs jumps and bites the man who is walking it. Hank then treats him and tells him to go to the hospital for cleaning. Evan then gives him cards to give to his friends.
As they arrive back at the house Evan says he wont go jogging with him again. They meet Boris and Evan introduces himself and offers to work out a rental plan. Boris ignores him and talks to Hank about his patients but Hank refuses to give out any information for confidentiality reasons. Boris then says that they are guests in his home not renters. As Boris drives away Evan declares he has a man crush, but Hank says he is seduced by anyone with an entourage. Evan instructs Hank to answer the phone a specific way but Hank just says hello, and agrees to hold for the Senator.
Hank and Divya arrive outside the gates of the senator's house. Hank asks Divya why she chooses to work for him and not any hospital. She says that her parents insist she summer with them in the Hampton's so she does this work on her own though quietly. When they arrive they are informed that the senator is in London but says that her son has promised to go to Notre Dame, and has their emblem on their lawn. She wants her son to go through a physical and shows them a room filled with brand new hospital grade equipment.
Kendrick's sister is in the room and questions Hanks medical knowledge. When Kendrick arrives, his mother informs the doctors of his very busy schedule. When the exam is finished the doctor announces that he is good unless anything pops up in the lab. As he leaves he and his sister fist bump and say "Play like a champion today" which is said often at Notre Dame, especially their football players.
Evan tries to convince Hank to have one spot on TMZ. Benny, the dog walker, calls and wants to meet Hank. Divya arrives completely changed. As they meet Benny he says he cannot go to the ER because the wait is 4 hours. Hank then says that the hospital has to treat him insurance or not. Divya cannot go with because she has an obligation.
Hank and Benny arrive at the hospital and Hank is able to get Benny a room immediately. While walking the dogs Evan runs into Jill, he recognizes her but struggles to remember her name.
