We start off seeing a woman waking up, moaning and
groaning. She tells her husband it is happening. She is
pregnant, and is going to have the baby. She runs around
the house trying to wake everyone up, but can’t seem to
wake anybody up. One hour later, Samantha Taggart is
waking up in her bed. She rolls in bed, looks at the
clock, and then realizes the alarm never went off. Luka
never heard the TV, and he is rolling in bed with
Samantha. Luka smiles at Sam, after she gets up, out of
bed. She walks into the living room, and sees Alex come
out of his room, plop on the couch, and begin to watch
TV. She tells Alex they need to talk, when they both
look over and see Luka coming out of the room, buttoning
his shirt.
The
scene cuts to Susan and Chuck. Chuck calls Susan
"mommy". Susan says she’s not making surname decisions
yet, but for now she wants her child to be a Lewis.
Chuck agrees, and asks if she has told her father yet,
at which she grins, and lets Chuck know her father does
not know she is pregnant. Next, we see Susan walking
over to Carter, in which the ambulances pull up. The
family from the beginning is in the ambulances. The mom
is screaming because she is in labor. The dad is not
awake, and the kids are in pain. The mother’s baby is
crowning, and they are hooking up the fetal heart
monitor on the mother. The family got carbon monoxide
poisoning. The mother did not get it, because her baby
took it all in. Her baby has carbon monoxide poisoning.
Malarkey, Abby, and Pratt are taking care of the family.
Pratt is taking care of the dad, Malarkey is taking care
of the girl, and Abby is taking care of the boy. Sam and
Alex are in the car, and Alex is sitting in the back of
the SUV. Pratt is still working on the dad, trying to
get him to come out of seizures.
Gallant
suggests the hyper baric chamber. The mother can’t get
her son out, and Carter is telling her to push harder.
She does, and out comes her son. They clean him, and put
him on the table. Neela is working on the baby. The baby
gets into a container, and gets wheeled outside, but
before that, the mother gets to touch the baby. The baby
is going to get wheeled into a hyper baric chamber.
Neela is claustrophobic, but does not tell Susan that.
Neela feels it, once inside the chamber. The scene now
is the mother, Vicky, getting wheeled into a room with
her husband and kids. Carter bumps into Susan
Lewis, who is pregnant. He pats her stomach, and asks
her how she is doing. The next scene, Susan knocks on
the door of the chamber, and lets Neela and the
technician person know that the baby’s name is Samuel.
Neela complains of not being able to breathe. Weaver and
Elizabeth have a conversation together. Sam is now
checking out a girl who is complaining of her throat
hurting, and the dad tells the girl he has to go to
work, so the girl bravely tells him she will be fine.
Luka asks Sam if Alex is ok, and Sam tells him yes. He
offers to cook dinner, and let Alex watch something on
his big-screen TV. Weaver sees Luka, and scolds him, for
making her late to a meeting. She tells him to look for
the deduction in his paycheck. Susan and Abby start to
have a conversation about Susan’s father. Carter walks
outside, to see ambulances arriving. One of them, Deb
Chen gets out of with her father. Carter and Deb greet
each other, and Deb explains to Carter about what
happened to her mother, and her father. Mrs. Lopez
brings Weaver’s baby in, and demands to see Dr. Weaver.
Sam is the one Mrs. Lopez is talking to, and does not
realize it is Dr. Weaver’s baby. The carbon-monoxide
poisoning dad, is awake now.
Neela is still in the chamber, complaining to the
technician. Finally, she starts ascending, when she can
not take it anymore. But, the technician tells her about
the baby’s symptoms. The baby needs her help. She goes
back down, and into the chamber again. As she is doing
that, her eardrum blows and her ear starts bleeding.
Chen and Carter are sitting by her father’s bedside,
while Chen is telling Carter about her father and
mother, and how much she appreciates the American
system, because it took a week for her father’s chest
film in China. Suddenly, Chen sees Pratt, and starts to
fill him in on her father’s condition. Neela goes back
into the chamber, and starts helping, when Dr. Olivera
comes in. Weaver goes to her baby, and starts comforting
him. Her baby only has a cold, from what she is saying.
Mrs. Lopez and Weaver say a few words to each other, and
then Mrs. Lopez brings the baby back home with her.
Susan calls her father to tell her, but has to hang up
because of a patient. Two traumas are wheeled in, and
its drug related. They are covered in blood. Susan
brakes the news to a woman who is pregnant. A old man
was wondering around in the ER, asking patients for
change, when Samantha Taggart takes him off. Before she
takes him off, he pukes onto a girl of eight years of
age. Luka and Samantha talk about their night together.
The two trauma people are covered in blood, and are
still working in the trauma room.
Neela is finally out of the hyper baric chamber, and she
is really happy about it. But, the Dr. is worried about
Neela’s lungs, so he asks her to stay in there, so he
can check her out, and the pressure can come down
slowly. Elizabeth is followed by cops when wheeling one
of the people who had been covered in blood to surgery.
Susan Lewis forgets to update the mother, Vicky, and
does not update her on her family. The little girl in
the ER gets treated for strep throat. Susan is now
wheeling Vicky, the mother up to the chamber, so that
she can see her son. Susan goes to the chamber, and sees
Neela on the monitor. She asks her about it, and Neela
tells her about a possible lung problem. Alex gets
dropped off at County, and Sam walks outside to greet
them. As they walk away from County, Sam and Alex talk
about a few things. Susan Lewis is getting off of the
elevator, patting her stomach. She looks over, and sees
Carter talking to Kem on a web cam. Somehow, Jerry
hooked it up for him. Kem shows Carter her stomach, and
Susan wonders why some people get huge and some people
get little stomachs when they are pregnant. Pratt tells
Chen good news about her father, and offers Chen support
in these hard times. Olivera is telling Neela to be
careful, and that she’ll need a chest x-ray once they
get out of the chamber. But, as soon as the door opens,
Neela bolts outside onto a balcony, and takes fresh deep
breaths. Susan and Chuck go into a bar, where they greet
her father. Her father is paying attention to the TV,
and doesn’t really pay attention when Susan tells her
father she is pregnant. Chuck and Susan are both happy
together.
