Dr. Horace Baltz counsels Dr. Pou to take a break after she becomes agitated while attending to a patient.
Susan Mulderick is informed by a representative of the Department of Health that rescue boats would be available for them the following morning. In the middle of the night, a fictitious report of boats approaching circulates. By boat, Mark and Sandra LeBlanc arrive at Memorial and save Mark’s mother.
