Pilot
Tue, Jun 16, 201543 mins
Because he may make a sizable donation to the hospital, Carolyn reluctantly agrees to meet with tech mogul and eccentric billionaire Ivan Turing. Upon learning directly from Ivan that he has terminal cancer, she is surprised that he did not want to meet with her to "jump the medical queue", but rather to ask her to head a project on finding definitive evidence - proof - of what happens to a person after death, something that will happen to him soon. This project is something way off of Carolyn's radar as legitimate science. Her hard science perspective is however one of the key reasons why he chose her. His offer of control of his entire $10 billion estate, which she could funnel into Medics International, after his death is not enough to convince her. Possibly finding out what has happened to Will is not enough to convince her. Her own recent near death experience in Japan while working for Medics International following the tsunami is not enough to convince her. But something that Sophie is going through and the experience of one of her own patients in combination with these other factors are enough for her at least to look into one of the many cases on which Ivan has files, namely a young girl named Lilly Seavers who allegedly passed over to the other side briefly. She has drawn some pictures of people she met on the other side, family members she would never have met or known of in the living world. It is one person who has not been identified from Lilly's drawings that may pique some interest in Carolyn. Not wanting to divulge the nature of Ivan's offer to Charles or her family, Carolyn decides to enlist the help of young intern, Dr. Zedan Badawai, with who she has developed a "tell it like it is" rapport. What Carolyn decides to do concerning Ivan's offer may also depend on her encounter with Peter Van Owen, a medium who she knows she will encounter again and again if she does accept Ivan's offer, and the issue that some may choose death over life if they know what is on the other side.

Til' Death
Tue, Jun 23, 201542 mins
On Ivan's want, Carolyn, Zed and Janel look into the case of Luke Martel, a sea plane pilot whose life has been turned upside down since the death of his photojournalist wife, Elena Martel, whose dead body has been cremated. Her death is not the issue, but what is is his public assertion that her ghost is still with him, almost like she is still alive. That belief has led to among other things him losing his job for fear of mental instability. Carolyn initially believes the ghost is solely his grief coping mechanism, much as she justifies her own occasional visions of Will. However she still can't make the scientific connection to the green scarfed woman she "sees" that she doesn't know. Beyond what Carolyn and the team can discover from Luke, she has to make him look deeper into his own current life for what is best for him. Meanwhile, Len, seeing Carolyn and Ivan together, uses Zed to find out what's going on, but instead discovers more about Zed. Carolyn is concerned about Sophie and what she doesn't know about what's going on in her daughter's life. And Carolyn learns from where Ivan is getting most of his case files.

Showdown
Tue, Jun 30, 201543 mins
Carolyn and Zed attend a past life regression therapy seminar presented by Dr. Daniel Powell, a medical school colleague of hers whose current work in which she does not believe. He presents as a case study an Iraq war veteran named Liam, whose PTSD Powell believes is not from his time fighting in Iraq but rather from a past life as a soldier named Tommy fighting in the Korean War trying to be saved by one of his fellow soldiers who ultimately got shot in the back. Regardless of what he is facing, Liam just wants his emotional pain to go away. Following the seminar, another man named Ryder Newburn accuses Liam of stealing the Korea story from his soon to be published graphic novel, the story almost exactly as in the book down to the names and places. Seeing his past life more clearly in his regression visions, Liam is able to see Ryder as that other soldier in Korea, the one who tried to save him. In speaking to Ryder, Daniel and Carolyn learn that he, a pacifist, is currently suffering from these similar visions, what he sees in his dreams. They have to convince Ryder that they at least have to try to help him emotionally by finding out if he was indeed that soldier in a past life. In the process, they have to try and figure out what accounts for some major POV differences between Liam and Ryder's stories. Meanwhile, based on Sophie's suggestion they bring in an exchange student as a boarder, Carolyn contemplates doing the long put off task of cleaning Will's bedroom. Something she goes through with Daniel helps Carolyn decide what to do with this matter. And upon meeting up unexpectedly with a friend from Kenya, Zed begins to see a divergence in what he wants for his future and what is expected of him.

Redemption

Into Carolyn's operating room come two patients from the same gunshot incident, one the criminal and the other the police officer. The officer dies, while the criminal, Randall Mason, survives, but not before he suffers cardiac arrest. Coming out of the situation, Mason is obviously freaked by what he experienced while he was dead, not a pleasant one like most have described the afterlife to be. After initial opposition, Mason does open up to Carolyn about what he saw while he was dead. Although there were some people he knew and killed, such as the police officer, on the other side, he was disturbed specifically by one unknown to him young woman who wanted something from him - he not knowing what - and would haunt him he believed into eternity. What Carolyn and Janel discover, with a little help from Peter, leads to Mason trying to take matters into his own hands for redemption before his passes permanently into the afterlife. He and Carolyn have to work fast as Charles is getting much pressure to get Mason out of the hospital and back into prison, where Carolyn and the team would no longer have access to him. Meanwhile, Sophie continues to test the boundaries of her relationship with her parents, most specifically her mom.

Memento Vivere

One year ago, a Jane Doe underwent surgery at County Hospital for seizures, and fell into a coma in the process. She was placed in a room with three other patients in long term comas. Now, simultaneously the three other patients flat-line and die at the same time, while Jane emerges from her coma, albeit still with no memory of who she is. But as Carolyn, Zed and Janel question her, she does seem to have memories, but of the other three patients. One theory that Carolyn does not believe is that Jane's subconscious self could have absorbed the information of what was mentioned in the room specifically by those people who had visited the other three patients during the year Jane was housed in the room. As Carolyn, Zed and Janel question those visitors, a few unaccountable stories emerge, one about a gift that Jane knows she received of a toy bear, and a later story Jane recounts from the day she was in the operating room. Carolyn may get some answers about what is happening to Jane in finding out exactly what happened in the operating room the day Jane was first brought in. Meanwhile, Sophie befriends one of Len's patients, which places Len, Sophie and Carolyn in an ethical dilemma. And in talking to Ivan about his donation to the hospital, Charles believes there may things be going on with his health that Ivan himself is unaware.

Christopher Brennan, a patient of Carolyn's, has long been at the top of the heart transplant list. He still being alive is only because of what Carolyn has been able to provide for him medically. And he has been on the list for such a long time because of the many issues diminishing the suitable donor pool for him. Carolyn is happy to pass along the news that a suitable donor has been found in the form of Adam Glenn, who could not be a better match. However, Adam's grieving wife, Samantha Glenn, may throw a wrench into Carolyn and the Brennan's excitement when she announces that she is not only not yet ready to take her husband off life support, but that she is revoking his organ donation. Even if Samantha does change her mind - Carolyn who gets a little unwitting help in this matter - Christopher's survival also hinges on Carolyn's mental state, she who has been unfocused on her work of late as she has at the most inopportune moments relived her NDE. The answers Carolyn may be searching for may not be provided by traditional science as she hopes but rather in speaking to people like Peter and Patricia.
