An emergency surgery opens with patient Rayna in ventricular fibrillation; two adrenaline doses failed and staff warn she has three minutes before arrest. Dr. Hanson is in the OR as the team scrambles, calling for Dr. Lester and Deputy Director Dr. Jenkins. Nurses pressure Jenkins to enter and lead the rescue, blaming inaction and warning the patient will die if no experienced surgeon takes over. Jenkins refuses, arguing career risk and denying fault. Resuscitation becomes frantic—"Wake up!"—and the episode ends with Rayna still unresponsive while Jenkins faces the unresolved choice to risk his career to save her.
