On the US base in Syria, TC refuses to let a refugee boy die because Amira fears insisting on surgery access might compromise medical help for all camp folk. When Scott's ex Annie brings her partner, his faulty former mentor, in for heart surgery, Scott refuses to hear unwanted apologies and even arranges for colleagues to operate, but is forced to reconsider due to time pressure. Meanwhile Scott and especially Drew agonize over an old oil field worker whose hand may have to amputated, and a cow-worker who has a mysterious condition preventing timely surgery. To Kenny's open envy, Cain joins Jordan by helicopter to a construction site where spiked laborer Travis must be cut loose, patiently waiting for her to realize he knows better every time.
