He is reinstating Audrey as the chief of surgery.
Everyone claps and looks happy, except Audrey. Marcus tells Aaron and Morgan that they lost the clinic contract because of Morgan’s confession. He is closing the clinic, he can’t justify the expense of keeping it open. He has arranged for Bay area medical to take over their care. Aaron wants to look at the budget and find a way to keep it open. Marcus tells him that he will be busy in the OR, he is a gifted surgeon.
There is an emergency in the OR, car accident, a family of three involved. The little girl, Alice, is going to be ok, but her two parents are in surgery and may not make it.

Shaun then meets Lea in the cafeteria, he brings Alice with him and she talks non-stop to Lea about their engagement. She doesn’t understand on how there is no ring, no date and says isn’t she more like his girlfriend.
Marcus and Audrey come to head to head over a patient. Then, Audrey tells him off about his following Salen’s orders and only coming to their defence at the last minute.
Shaun consults with Alex about Alice, then he asks him if he thinks he and Lea are just boyfriend and girlfriend. Alex tells him that he and Lea will figure out what the right thing to do is. Then he gives him medical advice for Alice. Shaun goes to see Alice, he is about to give her a shot and she says her mom lets her hold her hand, she doesn’t like needles.
He tells her that she can hold his hand as hard as she wants. She tells him it hardly hurt, he is good at his job. Jordan walks in and says her dad is out of surgery, he lost his leg, but he is ok. Alice tells her that she doesn’t want to see him.

Shaun goes to see Alice who asks him if her dad is in a lot of pain. She says she was kicking the back of the driver’s seat, he missed her choir practice and she was mad. He kept telling her to stop, he turned around, she heard her mom scream and then there were sirens – it was all her fault. He says it was his fault that his brother Steve died, but it was his fault too because he decided to hide on the roof of the train, he fell and broke his neck.
Her dad didn’t pay attention and it was his fault too, but he is sure they love her very much. In his case, his parents didn’t love him. She says she is sorry for the bad things that have happened to him. She changes her mind, she wants to see her dad. All of a sudden, Alice passes out and Shaun shouts that he needs help, she his bleeding in her chest.
In surgery, Marcus tells Audrey and Aaron that the death of the baby kept him up at night, but he believe Salen that it kept her up at night as well and she would make changes. He should have stepped up earlier. Alice’s mother is crashing in surgery. In another operating room, Alice is also in critical condition and Shaun has to open her chest, he needs help but nobody can leave her mother for ten minutes. Alice is going into shock, Marcus arrives just in time, but Shaun did very good up to that point.
Alice is going to be ok, so is her father and mother. Alice leans into Shuan for a hug, he gives her one but tells Jordan he doesn’t want to do it again.
