Morgan sees the baby is blue. She brings her in for testing. She has Turner’s Syndrome and it appears it has effected her heart. They have only a few days to operate.

The residents divide their work and research for Brady in terms of his chest wound, the metal sitting on his spinal column and more as he has multiple injuries. They argue about the scans and what to do with Brady’s severely damaged pelvis.

The residents all get on the same page with a solid plan to save Brady. Audrey loves their plan. They get to work. Surgery goes well until half way through. The patient starts to become ischemic. His vitals drop. Audrey comes with her quick thinking, she has a plan. They just need to trust her. Morgan rushes to see the baby’s mother and sees that she didn’t make it.
