Pre-op is finished but the scheduled surgeon, Dr. Jenkins, hasn't arrived, delaying a risky fertility surgery. The patient and her mother grow anxious as staff report a thirty-minute then two-hour hold. Dr. Lester authorizes Chelsea to assist but insists the head anesthetist supervise her, and the team splits between waiting and searching for Jenkins. The patient insists only Dr. Jenkins perform the operation and wonders if Kyle already knows she is the patient. With Jenkins still missing, the surgery's start—and the patient's trust—remain unresolved.
