Hawthorne

Richmond Trinity Hospital's chief nursing officer Christina Hawthorne tries to stop an end-stage cancer patient's attempt at suicide.

A patient with dementia believes Christina is his wife.

Christina creates a makeshift ICU bed for a woman whose son isn't ready to let her go; Bobbie helps Kelly with a case involving an infant swallowing rubbing alcohol; Ray tries to spend time with Candy.

Christina tries to save a Korean woman and her little boy after a car accident; Bobbie helps a young woman on the verge of losing her arm because of gangrene.

Christina squares off with an arrogant surgeon who is working on the case of a young heart patient she is caring for. Elsewhere, Ray works as Christina's mother-in-law's personal nurse, who, unknown by Christina, has been hospitalized. Kelly tends to a man with a worried wife.

Christina and the crew are hit with an onrush of new patients when another Richmond emergency room shuts down. One patient is recognized by Camille as an old friend from school who appears to have a drug problem. And a reporter wants to use Ray as an inside source for a revealing article she wants to write concerning the ER.
