Mina, Nic and the new nurse are roughly three hours outside of Atlanta seeing patients from rural towns. Meanwhile, Conrad is helping Nic’s dad who needs a ride. He gets a call from a patient named Archer. He wants to thank Conrad for caring for his wife and him and asks that Conrad look out for his wife. Conrad wants to know why he is asking all of this when Archer lets Conrad go. Conrad and Nic’s dad rush to Archer’s house. Conrad gets there just in time as Archer was going to try and take a bunch of pills to commit suicide.
In the ED, Devon and his new intern look over one of Devon’s patients Nadine, a princess. She hit her head and needs to be seen. She is flirty with Devon.
Back at Archer’s, he tells Conrad about how he is upset that he owes so much in medical bills. Now he has to pay for an ambulance ride. Conrad shares he will do what he can. When the ambulance arrives, Archer shoots himself as Conrad has his back turned.
Devon looks at a patient who has turned completely blue for taking Colloidal Blue. Meanwhile, AJ runs into Bell’s friend who introduced him to supplements. She hits on AJ offering her phone number to him.
Nic looks over a teen girl while her sister overseas. They realize the sister doesn’t have a battery with her for her handheld heart pump. They all jump into a van to rush to get a new battery.
Jessica has come back to work. Bell checks in with her. She is feeling a little unsure about herself and her recovery. Sometimes she forgets words. He tells her she will be with him today. She tells him he doesn’t have to be nice. In the OR, Bell covers for her when she forgets a word.
Nic’s dad sits and consoles Archer’s wife while he is in surgery. He makes a lot of sense and gives Conrad a lot to think about, who is listening from a distance.
On the way to get the battery, time begins to run out. The sister begins telling her daughter all kinds of pertinent information while they cry.
Cain corners the maker of the supplements, who Bell has been working with, and offers her a better shot at increasing her sales. Meanwhile, Bell comes outside to see Conrad to update him about Archer. Conrad tells Bell that Chastain billed Archer, his insurance company wouldn’t cover it. Then Red Rock sued him so he thought killing himself was the only way to deal. Bell won’t charge for the surgery, asking Conrad how he can help him.
Nic and Mina’s patient begs to pull the van over. They aren’t going to make it in time and Bianca doesn’t want to die in the back seat. They pull over and she sits under a tree while her sister holds her hand. She tells Nic to let her be after asking how she will die. Nic joins Mina away from the tree while the sisters sit together. The battery sounds off but Bianca doesn’t die. It looks like maybe her heart repaired itself somehow. That’s all they can assume. Everyone cries and laughs.
Help finally arrives for Nic and Mina’s patient. They discover they need to get the pump out because she has a clot that could dislodge. Meanwhile, Devon’s patient, the princess, wants to be admitted, She tells him how she is lonely. He tells her he thinks he has a plan.
Devon talks to his intern about checking things again and again for his patients.
Mina is back at Chastain with AJ in the OR working on Bianca. AJ tells Mina that while the liver can regenerate, the heart can repair, evolve, adjust. After surgery, AJ shares that he would share his last words with her. She tells him that their relationship is perfect just the way it is and very important to her. He reminds her that the heart can adapt.
Devon rushes the princess for a (fake) scan, away from her bodyguard. Conrad asks Nic’s dad to come over for dinner but he says he is too tired. Conrad knows he is sad but doesn’t push.
Devon and his princess go out for a treat. After, he tells her he would like to see her again. They kiss.
Mina waits by her best friend’s hospital bed. She wakes. Mina is thrilled, telling her all about the baby and showing her photos. AJ watches for a few brief seconds from outside the room while contemplating calling Bell’s female friend for a date.
Nic and Conrad meet up at home for a night alone. Nic’s dad gets his car back. He takes a gun out of the glove box and stares at it.
THE END!
