12. Emergent

Complete story — includes the ending

Kenny reveals to Topher that some pain medication has been stolen, and everyone except Scott points fingers at Annie. Paul and Shannon butt heads over how to treat a patient who comes in with internal burns. Jordan and Scott deal with a man who caught his hand in a bear trap, and a piece of the trap ends up in his lung. Topher's old Army friend Mac comes in and asks Topher to sign off on a physical exam requirement so he can return to active duty, but Topher insists on doing the exam. TC and Syd get caught in a typhus outbreak at the Syria-Turkey border when more people flood into their refugee camp. Nina informs Drew that his adoption plans for Brianna are put on hold when Brianna's birth father, who didn't even know he had a daughter until a few months ago, comes back into the picture. Kenny reveals the gym he owns has flooded and he asks Paul for a loan. Kenny then makes a phone call to a mysterious person who may be a loan shark. Mac returns later and asks if anyone would help him at the site of a fire, and Jordan and Scott volunteer. Annie checks TC's locker and finds his field jacket gone; it is later revealed Jordan is wearing TC's jacket and finds the missing pain pills in a pocket. Syd catches typhus after giving her pills to an older Kurdish woman. Mac, Jordan, and Scott get trapped after the fire quickly changes direction. Topher learns that the buyer he'd hoped would purchase the E.R. from Hobart has backed out, only to have Paul reveal his father is part of an organization that buys hospitals. A package containing needed typhus medication for TC and Syd is dropped by parachute, but it floats to the Turkey side of the border fence and the Turkish guards refuse to let TC retrieve it.
