AJ asks about him and Cade, AJ says it is funny, he thought he and Billie would end up together, and then he saw them dancing at the wedding. The two arrive at the state prison, they are there to see Bobby, who was in terrible pain during visiting hours. His sister, Janaya, tells AJ that her brother is innocent and is now on death row, he doesn’t deserve this.
Leela is on the phone with Padma and she still won’t let the twins out of her sight and Leela doesn’t think it is good for her.
Cade is looking at photos of the wedding she sees one of Conrad and Billie and she is shocked at the way he was looking at her.
AJ and Conrad are with Bobby, the doctor there says he has got “desperate for a field trip.” AJ says that his sister was his mother’s hospice nurse and she is amazing. Bobby says she is the only one who believes in him. All of a sudden, Bobby starts having a seizure and blood is coming out of his mouth.
Devon is examining a woman who was on a trip of her lifetime with her partner. They are from England, and she has had the pain for two weeks but waiting to see a doctor because of how much it would cost. After a few tests, Devon tells her that she has stones. She needs a procedure, but the woman says no, she cannot afford it. Her partner tells her whatever it costs, they have to do it, and she is in pain.
Bobby is sent to Chastain by ambulance, Cade is there when he comes in. Janaya is with her brother, and parts of his brain weren’t getting enough blood. Conrad wants to know why it happened. Janaya says he had childhood leukemia. Conrad listens to his neck, there is an obstruction so he orders an MRI.
Randolph is with Kit, she is meeting with the Governor, and she tells him that his budget cuts are going to affect patients. He tells her that the money has to go to crime. Randolph steps in and tells the Governor that a company he owned, billed for home care visits that never happened, subjected patients to dangerous and invasive procedures they didn’t remotely need, overdosed people on chemo, and asks him to remind him how much he scammed the taxpayers out of. The Governor says it is all lies. All this, and the cameras are rolling. The Governor walks away and asks an aid to find every bit of dirt on Randolph, he wants to destroy him.
Cade tells Conrad that she saw Irving’s photos from the wedding, on with him and Billie, and there looked like there was something between them. He says they are friends, and they share something that cannot be explained, a huge loss.
Bobby’s tests came back, he has a mass that spread to his lymph nodes, which explains his symptoms. Surgery could cause a hittable disability or even death. He is on death row and only has a year left to go, he may not make it that far.
The Governor meets with Donald, who works at Chastain, it is the second week. The Governor wants him to work with Randolph, Donald saw the press conference and asks if it is about that. The Governor basically threatens to expose something from Donald’s past, if he doesn’t help him.
Donald is made scrub tech and is put in the OR with Randolph when he operates on the woman with kidney stones.
Bobby is told he doesn’t have much time without surgery and there are high risks from surgery, he replies that it is a blessing in disguise, he will just leave quicker and his sister won’t have to feel the shame anymore from his being incarcerated.
Bobby has chimerism, only 100 cases have been documented. He was convicted with DNA evidence, he could be innocent. He had a bone marrow donor when he was 10 when the bone marrow started to make blood cells, it is his donor’s DNA, his name is Martin and he is in prison for armed robbery. Bobby has a change of heart, he wants the surgery which may save his life.
The woman with kidney stones has an infection, she is rushed back into the OR. Donald gets himself in the OR to work beside Randolph. They open her up and she is ischemic already. In surgery, she goes into cardiac arrest. They lose her. Randolph blames himself, and Donald overhears. Kit says she avoided health care before the cost and at the end of the day it killed her, she had an underlying health condition.
Conrad is with Cade, he tells her that losing Nic crushed him and he is just trying to figure out things as he goes.
Bobby Is waking up, he tells his sister he is still there thanks to her. She tells him that they are already working on a petition for a new hearing.
Donald tells the Governor what happened with Randolph, and that there are skeletons in his closet. The Governor tells him to keep digging, they will take whatever he can get. When Donald leaves the room, the Governor says Randolph picked the wrong enemy.
