On his first day as an intern, an idealistic Dr Devon Pravesh faces the harsh realities of medical care. Resident Conrad Hawkins teaches him unconventional methods for treating patients.

A blackout requires staff to treat patients without technology, so Bell orders the staff to stop accepting new patients. Conrad and Devon go against the mandate to help a child, and Mina and Austin must perform heart surgery.

Three concurrent surgeries at the hospital push its staff to the limits. Determined to ease the pressure, Nic requests Jude for one of the operations, making Conrad jealous.

When Nic finds herself under investigation in Lily's death, Conrad comes to her defence, but ends up making the situation worse. During a routine surgery, Bell's patient accidentally catches fire.

Devon and Conrad race against the clock to save the life of a woman who is deteriorating fast from undetermined symptoms. The patient turns out to be a hero who helps previous criminals get their lives back together.

In a final and drastic attempt to save Nic, Conrad calls in a favour from the one person he promised he never would. Micah is rushed back to Chastain with major heart complications.
