Star are lining up for their staff drug test when Ian walks by and makes a joke about it. Cade was in the line-up, she goes to Conrad and asks if this is his fault. He says he went to Kit and said he suspected a member of the staff could be using, but he didn’t say who.
Cade is really upset with Conrad. Cade goes into the ICU to see Eucalyptus, he needs real-time monitoring and delays, Kit overhears and can’t believe how much money this is going to cost for one patient.
Leela, AJ, and Devon are back with Padma, the OR schedule has opened up, and she is back on the board.
Eucalyptus’ pressure just tanked, they pause the dialysis, he is bleeding internally, and need to get him back in the OR.

In the OR, baby number one is out, and baby number two. Padma is bleeding heavily, they need blood and there is none left, they used it for the gunshot would. Leela finds out about Padma and runs to help. AJ is doing his best to save Eucalyptus. Leela freezes and Devon reminds her that she has done this a hundred times.

Two healthy boys, Ian is there and he congratulates AJ and hands him the babies. AJ is overwhelmed.
Kit is looking at the total cost for Eucalyptus’ care and it is over $430k. She calls Ian into her office and she tells him that he tested positive, he says yes, he took something for his back, and he should have said something before the test. She says ok, but she cannot have him operate with a positive test result, she can only let him back when he is negative.
Cade nudges Padma to wake her up. She turns to Leela who tells her that the babies are fine. She will have a long recovery, but she is going to be ok.
