Richmond Trinity Hospital's chief nursing officer Christina Hawthorne tries to stop an end-stage cancer patient's attempt at suicide.

A patient with dementia believes Christina is his wife.

Christina creates a makeshift ICU bed for a woman whose son isn't ready to let her go; Bobbie helps Kelly with a case involving an infant swallowing rubbing alcohol; Ray tries to spend time with Candy.

Christina gets trapped into working an overnight shift and finds herself in the middle of a potential custody battle.

Christina pays a visit to the ethics committee when she opposes the hospital's refusal to treat a heroin-addicted patient. Elsewhere, a mother reveals a game-changing secret to her adopted son; and Camille forges a bond with hospital worker Marcus.
