Complete story — includes the ending

Following a fight between Drew and the Afghani leader, the leader is accidentally shot in the shoulder by Drew, putting him in a tough spot. Despite the problem, Drew and Syd are able to help the young mom, her baby, and her brother get away from the leader. The consequences to this causes Drew to get sent home early while Syd, who was looking forward to her daughter's 13th birthday in two weeks, has to stay on tour an additional three months, due to a shortage of personal working there. TC and Scott deal with the car accident victim from the previous episode while simultaneously trying to save her son. They later determine the boy needs a bone marrow transfusion, but he is adopted and the parents claim they don't know the birth mother, which sounds fishy to TC. His suspicions are soon confirmed, as the boy was actually kidnapped by the couple. Desperate to have a child, they stole him from his birth parents at a mall. Elsewhere, Shannon helps Jordan move on from TC, Topher tries to renew his commitment to get fit again, and Gwen learns she moved off the wait list at Georgetown when another candidate drops out. To Kenny's dismay, she has to leave the next morning.
