TC wakes up from a night of drinking with Annie to find his sister-in-law collapsed at the bottom of the stairs, covered in blood. He brings her into the ER, where Scott operates on her. After surgery, Annie starts crashing, and while TC and Scott intubate her, Jordan hears the commotion and is shocked to see Annie. TC explains they went out for drinks the night before and she fell down the stairs, which he failed to tell Jordan before. Jordan is pissed that TC lied, and notes that Annie's probably having a cross-reaction with the anesthesia Scott gave her and whatever narcotics are in her system. TC refuses to believe Annie was on any drugs, but soon realizes Jordan was right.

After Jordan leaves the room, Annie admits she took some old pills she had in her purse the night before. She promises TC it was a one-time thing, but it's clear she's hiding something. Later, while checking in on Annie, Scott off-handedly mentions Jordan's stalker to TC, who is furious that Jordan didn't tell him earlier. Suddenly Annie starts to crash again and admits she also took Vicodin and lied to TC about it.

Meanwhile, Jordan takes a pregnancy test and - surprise - it's positive! But before she has a chance to tell TC, she's called out to the field, where a boy named Malcolm and his mother are trapped in a well. After rescuing them, Jordan gets to work on Malcolm, who has a spinal injury, but in the meantime, his mom collapses. What at first looked like a minor scratch on her leg has now turned into an aggressive infection. The doctors soon realize she has a flesh-eating infection and have to amputate her leg. In the end, both mother and son are on the road to recovery and are just glad to be alive.

But the pregnancy isn't the only thing Jordan's keeping from TC. She begs TC to set some boundaries with Annie, who she sees as a bad influence on him, but keeps the real reason she hates Annie a secret. While Jordan is hesitant to reveal Annie's secrets, Gwen isn’t. She corners TC, who has dismissed the Annie-Jordan feud as "girl drama," and reveals Annie was and is an addict who stole money from Jordan, wrecked her car and lied to her. She helped Annie out of love for TC and even got her into rehab, but it never stuck.

Finally, TC and Jordan have it out about all the secrets they've been keeping from each other - everything, that is, except for the pregnancy. TC then goes to talk to Annie, and tells her he knows she's an addict and needs help. He's set her up at a rehab center in San Antonio and will take her as soon as she's recovered. But when he comes back to check on her, she's disappeared. At the end of the shift, TC and Jordan head home to find Annie has cleared out TC's apartment and skipped town. While TC struggles to take it all in, Jordan blurts out her big news. "I'm pregnant," she whispers, and TC breaks into a huge smile.

Meanwhile, Ragosa's daughter Naomi and ex-wife Vanessa stop by because Naomi hurt her wrist while at a concert Ragosa forbade her from going to. Ragosa and Vanessa get into a big fight, which culminates in Vanessa leaving Naomi at the hospital to shadow her dad and see what her father does for a living now that he gave up his high-paying administrator job. Unfortunately, Ragosa kind of lied to his family and told them he has a bit more responsibility than he actually has. When Naomi walks in on him cleaning a homeless man's urine off his scrubs, he's forced to come clean with his daughter (pun intended). He admits he's just a physician's assistant, but he's working towards his dream of becoming a doctor. Naomi is skeptical and thinks maybe her dad should have chosen a smaller dream. But later in the night, after Naomi sees her father save a man's life, Ragosa finally earns his daughter's respect and support.

Realizing word is getting out about her and Joey, Krista goes to tell Kenny before he hears it from someone else. But it's too late - Kenny saw their make-out session with his own eyes, and he's not too pleased about Krista disrespecting him so blatantly. Sure, they were just casual, but he'd never do something like that to her. Later, Krista runs into Drew, who looks like hell, as he's been coping with his breakup with pals Jim Beam and Jack Daniels. She complains about Kenny ignoring her now, but Drew isn't in the mood to be sympathetic - he's got his own problems. While doing paperwork at the nurses' station, the boyfriend of one of his one-night stands walks in and punches him right in the face. Kenny pulls the guy off of Drew, and Drew slumps off, embarrassed and annoyed. Later, Topher pulls him aside and gives him a talking to - he's screwing up at work, partying too much and looks like hell. Drew admits he's still devastated by the breakup - he did everything right and Rick still left him.

While Drew is still drowning his sorrows, it looks like Kenny won't be lonely for long! Things are heating up with Gwen, who's made it her mission to get a piece of the hot male nurse. After flirting all day, Kenny asks Gwen out to breakfast at the end of their shift. As the two walk out together, Krista checks her phone to find a text message from Joey that reads, "I miss you."
