San Antonio Memorial's administrator Michael Ragosa, whose ever-worsening eyesight wrecked his surgery studies, must run a rigid budget regime to avoid his money-draining ER being closed down by the board. Dr. Jordan Alexander gets a chance as new chief of a staff consisting mainly of war veterans, like her. Brilliant surgeon TC Callahan, who was fired from the Afghan war zone for insubordination and sleeps drunk in a friendly deputy's jail, seems most unlikely to bend for the pair of them. Ragosa, whom TC first decks for opposing excessive pro-bono treatments, wins TC's respect by instructing a novel skull surgery procedure for pre-teen Matthew, whose head was nearly severed in a crash while his devoted brother Tommy drove.

Coming Home
Tue, Jul 1, 201443 mins
New trauma chief Dr. Scott Clemmens planned to reorganize the ER, but all hands are needed after an army bus crash floods the hospital with injured soldiers from Drew's boyfriend Rick's Afghanistan unit. Among them are pleasantly-cheeky virgin private Wilson, who flirts with Krista, but whose condition worsens dramatically, and Drew's boyfriend, captain Rick Lincoln, who claims preferring death to the leg amputation that Clemmens insists on; Rick also isn't amused that Drew stubbornly refused to be outed by openly holding his hand. TC fights Scott for a Hail Mary alternative therapy, which fails in a similar fashion to Jordan's attempt at avoiding telling her lover the romantic truth about already mutually hostile TC.

A pole dancer who fell off is left in rookie Paul's charge while waiting for test results, but when he pays her for advice about girls she faints during his free lap-dance. This remains unnoticed long as everybody is flooded with victims from a major industrial accident.
