Kovač bonds with Blaire, who has no memory of the carjacking and rape-murder incident that caused her coma, while her drug therapy becomes an issue.

Kovač protests when nursing home workers drop off Blaire Collins ( Stana Katic), who has been comatose for six years, for routine care, but later in the day, she unexpectedly regains consciousness. Abby learns the details of Dubenko's condition and tactfully refuses his advances. In the wake of heavy rains, the ER is flooded with diverse patients, including a baby involved in a suspicious car crash with her mother and a heart-attack victim visited by his sex therapist. After Luka and Sam reach a tentative peace, he gets drunk at a bar and Abby gives him a ride home. Neela prepares a care package for Gallant. Lewis is interviewing for a tenured position and won't be in. Abby treats a rollerblading single patient with an increased risk for breast cancer due to mutations in her BRCA1 gene, who is struggling with the need for a mastectomy, and Abby makes a discovery about Dubenko's own health while visiting oncology. It is a bad day for Kovač as he and Sam can not be civil after their disruptive break up, and a new nurse manager, Eve Peyton, enforces her strict and efficient new procedures. A depressed Kovač copes with another failed relationship when Sam announces she's moving out, but he gets emotional support from Abby, who joins forces with Neela to put a spoiled, rude patient in her place. Pratt gets a visit from his estranged father Charlie ( Danny Glover). A difficult decision must be made as the baby's life hangs in the balance. Ray attends to a surrogate mother who goes into labor prematurely after being involved in a car accident. Meanwhile, Lewis and Pratt guide the new R2s on managing their new interns while the irresponsible Morris takes a nap Ray and Neela back up the board due to poor communication, while Abby shines at managing but fails to properly teach. They are especially worried because Alex is diabetic and he has forgotten his insulin. Kovač and Sam report Alex missing to the police and suspect that he is trying to find his father.
