Another surgeon was scheduled but came down with the stomach flu. Conrad rushes to see them. In the meantime, Bell accidentally lights the patient on fire in the OR in the middle of the surgery after using the cauterizing tool. Conrad comes running in to help put it out. The sprinklers go off. Bell continues to instruct everyone around him while he stands there with arms up.
Claire calls Nic in to speak with a risk management specialist. They need to put her on leave because Lily’s family is suing the hospital. Just as Nic is about to ask some questions an administrator comes in to tell Claire that a patient caught fire in the OR. Claire runs out of the room and finds Bell and Conrad wheeling the patient out. She tells Bell she is going to watch the cameras to see what happened.
Devon meets a patient who is afraid that she could be poisoned because she swallowed some mouthwash. As he continues to talk to her and look her over, she complains about more and more symptoms.
Nic and Conrad meet in a hospital closet. Nic tells him she has been out on leave. He comforts her.
Claire calls Mina in. She tells Claire that the fire was caused because the oxygen under the patient’s mask was pooling. It was not Bell’s fault.
Conrad meets with the patient who caught fire. He has a large tumor on his neck. It has made himself conscious for a long time. He feels like he looks like Freddy Kruger. He cannot believe his bad luck in surgery. Conrad explains that fires can happen in the OR.
Nic meets with the risk management board. She explains what she observed with Lily. She thinks Hunter gave her too high a dose of chemo over and over again. The board tells Nic Lily died from a potassium overdose. Nic tells them that is not possible.

Bell tracks down Mina to ask her about Claire and if she has been questioned. Mina tells him she told her the truth. She walks away leaving Bell worried.
Hunter sits on the risk board. She tells them she thinks Nic set the potassium pump on the wrong setting and that is the only explanation for Lily’s death.
Conrad’s patient starts to code. He has to cut into the side of his neck to take pressure off of the trachea so he can breathe.
Nic tells Devon they will not blame her for Lily’s death without a fight. She tries to teach Devon how to draw blood on her but he has trouble. She decides she is going to go out on the floor, she doesn’t care. Devon tells her to be careful. She makes her rounds and is caught by another colleague.
Feldman tells Devon to stop taking off from the ER to help Conrad. He needs to get a marble out of a little girl’s nose.
Conrad goes to meet the board about Lily. He is told his meeting has been canceled. Out in the hall, Alexis, who was in for all of the meetings, tells Conrad that Hunter pinned everything on Nic and the board believes it.

He calls his fellow surgeon in, Dr. Chu to vouch for him. Hunter also speaks. She tells the board that they need a doctor to be the CEO, not someone who doesn’t know medicine.
Conrad confronts Hunter. She tells him she will end him if he comes at her again.
Nic is called in to see Claire. But she isn’t there anymore. Bell is the new CEO. He has some difficult news to tell her. Later, Nic waits outside with a box full of her things. Conrad comes out to see her. He tells her that this isn’t over.
