Plot

When Cain's elected surgery patient returns with complications, Mina and Raptor butt heads over how to handle the situation; Conrad and Devon treat a local Congresswoman.

Logan Kim is fired as CEO for 'unauthorized use of funds' during the pandemic, but warns Conrad that things will only worsen. AJ and Mina treat a VIP patient whom Cain's lies, as Kim insisted on 'sales quota', tricked during the pandemic to perform an elective surgery, resulting in COVID-19 and blood clots currently. Conrad and Devon treat Congresswoman Nichelle Randall, potentially Georgia's next governor with strange complaints and discover that liar Nichelle and her devoted driver both contracted a parasitic infection in the Caribbean as lovers. Devon still suffers from hallucinations of his late father and confides in Conrad about his death in an understaffed public hospital. Consciously single, Bell reconnects with his bitterly estranged former step-son Jake Phillips/Wong, who became jazz musician and plastic surgeon. AJ, secret lover Mina and Cain save the patient, but AJ, believing that 'black brother' Cain can be redeemed, refuses to report him. Mina alone informs the patient's wife and she and AJ to take a break for a few days. Kit Voss tracks down the chairman of Red Rock who reveals that no new CEO will replace Logan Kim, without elaborating. Nic tells Conrad she's pregnant.—KGF Vissers
