In the wake of Sam's successful execution of a groundbreaking surgical technique, the battle between her and her father, Griff, takes a shocking turn that will irrevocably change their family dynamic and the future of the hospital.

When a gunshot victim is rushed to the ER, the incident triggers flashbacks to the aftermath of Griff's own shooting, and reveals new details of how the people in his life were affected during the six months he was in a coma.

When a devastating storm leads to an overflow of patients and limited resources, Dr. Sam Griffith and her team are forced to make impossible choices about their patients' care. Also, Dr. Rob Griffith connects with a young patient admitted with a rare heart condition.

Dr. Sam Griffith deals with the fallout following her actions at the hospital fundraising gala, and Griff returns to the OR for the first time since his shooting to perform a bypass surgery. Also, Malcolm’s estranged mother, hospital board chairwoman Tina Kingsley (Victoria Rowell), arrives in town.

As Sam, Griff and Vivian face the fallout from Griff’s bombshell confession to the hospital board, the surgical team preps for a rare high-profile surgery that could take Sam’s career to the next level. Also, Lex confronts Griff about his betrayal, and Malcolm sets his sights on his mother’s board seat.
