The ER staff are sneaking around preparing a farewell
party for Dr. Finch. This is her last day at the
hospital. The only problem is, they are still
waiting for her to arrive. Dr. Gallant finally gets
the pleasure of meeting Dr. Weaver. Peter goes into
the lounge and sees Nicole there. She scrambles
around when he enters, as if she is hiding something or
surprised that someone came into the room. Peter's
DNA results have arrived for him. He opens it up and
is very upset about what he reads.

Mark
tends to a patient with heart problems. He is a little rough and
Susan comments to him about his bedside manners. Cleo arrives down
in the ER and sees her "surprise" going away cake. She
doesn't seem to care.
There has been an accident due to a massive storm and
Weaver tells Gallant to go with her outside to await the
ambulance. Mark is still thinking about what Susan
had told him about his bedside manner, so he asks Abby if
she thinks he is too mean to his patients. They are
heading to the roof to pickup a patient being transported
by helicopter. It is a boy named Daniel who nearly
drowned in the storm. Marl learns that Daniel's
younger brother is still missing out in the storm and his
name is Joey. The rain is pouring and Gallant offers
to get Weaver a jacket, but she refuses. He is from
the military. Cleo sees Peter, who is on the phone
with an attorney. She looks concerned and he tells
her that he is not Reese's biological father. She
leaves with him, missing out on her own party. A
pedestrian is being brought in to the ER after being
struck by a car. It is a hit and run; the car never
stopped after hitting her and her dog. There is also
a pregnant, stab wound patient being brought in, but the
ambulance has been hit. Kerry grabs Gallant and they
head to the accident scene. Mark and Abby are still
taking care of Daniel. Kerry and Gallant arrive at
the accident scene. It is still storming bad with
lightning and strong wind. Doris is the paramedic
who was driving the ambulance and she is trapped
inside. Vicky, the pregnant woman who was stabbed,
is in the back of the ambulance. Lightning strikes a
power pole and it falls. Gallant sees a paramedic in
the way of the pole and he pushes the paramedic out of the
way of it, but the paramedic is electrocuted anyways.
Brody is the name of the paramedic who was
electrocuted. Kerry reprimands Gallant for putting
himself in danger. An electrical wire is bouncing
back and forth on top of the ambulance and Vicky is still
trapped inside. Kerry takes a chance of her own and
jumps into the back of the ambulance, risking being electrocuted.
Carter and Susan tend to the woman who was struck by a
car. The woman was trying to save her dog, but the
dog died. Susan assures the woman that the dog
probably died fast with little pain. Mark and Abby
are still working on Daniel. Daniel is concerned
that his brother Joey has drowned. He tells Mark
that his brother is only six. Kerry is still taking
care of Vicky, who is in active labor. Another power
line breaks and Gallant jumps inside of the ambulance
also. Kerry needs to deliver the baby
surgically. The unborn baby is only at thirty-six
weeks. Kerry will need to do a c-section.
Gallant asks her when was the last time she has done this
procedure. Peter and Cleo go to see a lawyer.
They are told that Roger needs to receive visitation
rights until this is resolved. Vicky is fading in
and out of consciousness and Kerry tells her that she
needs to stay awake. A firefighter named Lopez is
also at the scene of the accident. Kerry asks her
for more light. Kerry cuts Vicky's belly open.
Carter and Susan send their patient up to surgery.
Carter thinks that the dog should have been the least of
their patient's concern. Susan had lost a dog and
can sympathize with the woman. Alger comes in to get
Carter. Gamma has been in a car accident and he
thinks she may have broken her hip. Carter sees her
and she replies that it was raining very badly and she
thinks she may have hit a dog.

Kerry
continues to work on Vicky. She gets the baby and
pulls it out. Luka asks Mark to move Daniel, so that
he can make room for a paramedic. Mark learns that
Daniel had been smoking marijuana. Daniel's mom and
step-dad are very upset. Vicky sees her baby and it
is a boy. Gallant jumps out of the back of the
ambulance with the baby tightly in his grasp. It
needs to get to the ER. Mark is suturing up Daniel
and learns that his brother Joey is the only son of his
step-dad. Daniel and Joey's mom comes into the room
and is very upset with Daniel.
Mark is upset about
this and has her step out into the hall with him.
Mark scolds her for being so harsh to the boy. Joey
has been found and they go to meet him. Reese is in
the tub and Peter is giving him a bath. Cleo is
there and someone is at the door. It is Roger.
Peter tells Roger that he is keeping his son. Nicole
offers to run and get coffee for the ER staff. She
asks Abby if she would like her to pick up some cigarettes
for her. A lot of the staff has had things come up
missing and they figure out that it was Nicole stealing
from them. Frank scolds her and she runs off, with Luka chasing after her. Gallant has arrived with the
baby, so Luka comes back in with him.
Kerry is still at the accident scene with Vicky, who is
not doing well at all, considering that Kerry has cut her
belly open. They are putting Vicky into the back of
another ambulance ready to head to the ER. As Kerry
is getting ready to leave, she tells Lopez, who has an
injured hand, that she needs to have it looked at.
The ambulance doors shut and they head to the ER.

Abby and
Mark are heading back up to the roof to pick up
Joey. Carter goes in to check on his Gamma.
Susan is sitting with her. She has broken her hip
and is not doing well. She will need a scan to see
if she will need surgery. Carter tells her that she
had hit a woman. As he is telling her about it,
Carter is called out. The woman she hit is crashing,
So he and Susan go to assist her. Mark and Abby work
on Joey, but they are struggling because the family is in
the way. They are asked to leave and then escorted
out of the trauma room. Romano bumps into Weaver on
her way in with Vicky. He is upset about what she
had done. Chuny tells Weaver that it was a nice
save. Luka is with Gallant and the baby boy.
Nicole comes in and wants to speak with Luka. Susan
and Carter are still working on the young woman.
Mark and Abby are still assisting Joey. He has no
pulse or pressure. They need to irrigate the
bladder, due to all of the water he has ingested.
They are able to save him and the rain has stopped.
Carter is in the scanning room and speaks with the
radiologist. He is looking at her hip scan, when she
begins to panic. Carter runs in to check on her and
she tells him that she wants to speak with his
grandpa. Carter tells her that he is dead and she
tells him that she had forgotten. This puts a
worried look on Carter's face. Abby is outside and
she sees Luka putting Nicole into a cab. She speaks
to Luka and asks if Nicole is okay. He responds,
"No, not really". He tells Abby that
Nicole is pregnant. He is worried about her because
she had told him that her father had kicked her out when
she was only sixteen. The raises Abby's suspicions,
since she had told her earlier that her father had
committed suicide when she was younger. Mark sees
Daniel and tells him that Joey is going to be okay.
He then has a talk with him. He wants him to never
listen to his parent's when they are belittling him and
saying bad things to him. Gallant finds Weaver in
the lounge. Romano has sent him to tell her that
Vicky is going to be okay. He replies that they
have saved everybody and Weaver responds that this was a
good day. He tells her that he likes the good days.
