Tonight on the Resident, it’s Dr. Conrad Hawkin’s first day back at the hospital and he has a strange welcome back from Dr. Cain, who questions Logan on why he was brought back due to him being a whistleblower. Dr. Cain is told that Conrad is more lucrative to the hospital then Cain is and is told that everyone has an expiration date.  Dr. Cain is not pleased he is told that his billing is going in the wrong direction and he has to hustle up.

Dr. Austin is in the cafeteria with Andrea and they are flirting.  Mina walks in and interrupts.  Andrea asks him about his worst breakup he avoids the answer.

Conrad is on light duty in the ER so he does not have much work. They soon get a page on an arriving helicopter with patients from a jet ski collision, one patient Becky begins to go into shock and can’t feel her leg. The other patient John is doing much better than Becky.  Conrad is taking care of him. Dr. Austin is taking care of Becky with Dr. Koss.

It turns out the couple John and Becky Copple are one of the biggest donors to Red Rock and most especially the neuro center. Logan tells Conrad this and puts pressure on him to make sure Becky pulls through.

John begins to feel guilty saying it was his fault and his idea to go jet skiing and they crashed at full speed.  Conrad deflects and tells him she’ll be fine and focus more on getting him better. They decide to do a CT scan since John had a benign tumor removed eight yrs ago from his brain.

Before Becky and John head to their respective ERs, they tell each other they love each other.  John tells everyone that in 20 years of marriage they have never been without each other!

Meanwhile, Andrea is pitching her supplement products where Dr. Bell is the face of the product.  Dr. Bell and Dr. Cain are told that they are going to be rich from sales of the product.

Becky has a propeller in her pelvis and must be operated on.  The operation will be very difficult they have to reattach her pelvis to her spine.

Meanwhile, Conrad and Dr. Cain review John’s results.  It seems John’s tumor has regrown.

One of the three patients in the ER that came in with a headache may have a more severe illness as she can’t breathe and has a tube inserted to help her get stable Dr. Pravesh and Feldman find this strange and rush to figure out what’s wrong with her.

The other patient from the ER that came in with diarrhea now has problems walking, Pravesh and Feldman come up with the diagnosis of having muddles and immediately decide to quarantine them and give meds.

Conrad checks on Nic since she’s still sick, he thanks her for always being there for him and never doubting him, he gets emotional from watching John and Becky interaction before they both are wheeled into surgery.

Mina, Kit, and Austin are operating on Becky and trying to remove the propeller which appears to be stuck until Kit pulls it out.

At the same time John is in the operating room and suddenly goes into pain saying his stomach hurts and his BP rises as he falls over the operating table they have to abort the surgery.

Back in the OR with Becky Mina, Kit and Austin continue to realign her pelvis back together and succeed. Becky is out of surgery and doing better but then suddenly she coded after she is told John had some complications during his surgery. John makes it out of surgery ok but Becky is still having complications they are placed near each other to hold hands to recover.

Dr. Cain confronts Conrad saying he didn’t do his job on prepping John before surgery. Bell tells Conrad to be more careful since he’s just coming back or Dr. Cain and Dr. Logan will try to get rid of him again.

John’s vision is affected and he can’t see from side due to the time, his blood pressure won’t allow them to operate Conrad has to come up with a plan to prep him for surgery he checks his back and discovers skin legions he asks for a urine sample and places the sample in the window in front of sunlight Dr. Cain loses his patience until the urine changes color it turns out he has porphyria and the lights in the OR were too strong and it caused his blood pressure and stomach pains so now they decide to place filters over the light and proceed with the surgery.

Feldman and Pravesh stabilize the three patients and try to figure out how they have the same illness with nothing in common. As they question the patients they discover they have taken Dr. Bell’s life supplements and want to call the CDC and report it, Dr. Bell tries to stop them saying it can be other causes and they drug is still new, but Pravesh says he has to do the right thing.

Dr. Bell discovers other patients at another hospital have been diagnosed with the same illness from taking the supplements and tells Andrea he has to tell the partners to pull the drug off the shelf. Andrea claims she feels as if it’s not her 3b supplements that are causing the illness the partners want to pull the supplements Dr. Bell decides he wants to buy out the other two partners and they agree. Dr. Bell sticks by Andrea and feels she may be right about it not being the supplements and the other partners are panicking too soon.

THE END!
