When Bash and Mags work together to treat a patient with a tricky diagnosis, Mags realizes that Bash’s experience as a doctor in Syria has led to an instinct-based approach. Head nurse Claire Malone is concerned that Dr. Bishop is already working following his accident. June struggles to put her foot down with Dr. Singh concerning the needs of a patient, and Theo works to build a connection with Bash.

An incident at work causes Bash to second-guess himself. Mags is inspired by a firefighter devoted to her work, even if it means risking her life on a daily basis, and June must learn to work with others. Meanwhile, Theo celebrates his birthday for the first time away from his family, and is faced with a young patient with a big plea.

When an explosion takes place near the hospital, Bash runs toward the danger. Mags treats a patient without all the information she needs, and June struggles to take initiative. When a schoolgirl is brought into the hospital in cardiac arrest, Theo does everything he can to save her. Through all the chaos, Claire takes the time to help a teenage girl in need.
