Audrey is walking with Claire, Alex, and Shaun, she tells them it is a three day weekend and a full moon. People are going to do stupid things, she wants them to take an extra trauma call in the ER and make themselves available if needed.
There is a patient in the ER, she had a fall on a ski hill, it was a trip her husband surprised her with because she is one-year cancer-free. Her husband takes a call outside the room, Jordan overhears that he is a Venture Capitalist and she is intrigued since she has a new product that she would love to introduce to him.
Morgan has a patient with a perforated valve who needs surgery immediately. During surgery, the doctors find out that he has Hirschsprung’s. Alex tells the patient and says this is kind of singular and was wondering if anyone else in the family had the same symptoms as him. He said he modified his genetic code. He did a CRISPR procedure under the guidance of some professionals he knows through his work, they sent him some cocktails and his wife injected them into his bone marrow. He believes it will stop aging.
Claire gets a text message from Enrique, who she works with, asking her on a date.
Claire bumps into Enrique, she tells him that she doesn’t think a first-year should go for coffee with the fourth year, it’s bound to get complicated. He says it wasn’t a date, it was just to get to know each other.
Shaun is home, he tells Leah that he took a pole about having sex in the shower. She said she heard about it at work. Leah is putting together exercise equipment that she wants to sell online. Shaun asks why she has it if she is selling it. She says her ex sent it, her ex-husband. He had it in his attic for ten years and sent it to her because it was getting in the way. They got married right out of high school, not for long, a big mistake and they both knew it.

The patient has a panic attack and Claire has to give her oxygen, but it is actually the tumour pressing on her throat, Claire turns to Olvia and tells her that the patient has to go into surgery right away. Claire seeks out her husband, tells him that they removed her thyroid, and there may be a deeper issue.
He says it was so hard, waking up every day and not knowing If his wife was going to be there another year. He sat there and watched them put poison into his wife because she might die. She tells him to go for a run, take a break, he needs to get through this for her.
Shaun goes to see Leah in her office and asks her why she didn’t tell him that she had an ex-husband, she says because he wasn’t important. He says at one point in her life she thought he was important, and now she doesn’t anymore. She says she knows he doesn’t like change, but he is working every day to change himself.
Claire has coffee with Enrique after all. He lives in a van in the hospital parking lot, he tells it is convenient.

There was a toxin in her environment that played a role in this, but there will be other triggers in the future. Her body is super sensitive. Jordan tells her that she knows it is a shock, but most cancers are treatable if known early enough. This is good, they know what they are dealing with, they are warned and will be ready. Claire then tells the patients husband. She includes that if he wants to get out, he should do so before she needs him most.
Alex tells his patient that they are going to have to reverse the crispr. Although he is against it, his wife asks for time alone with him to try to encourage him to do it. But in the end, he doesn’t.
