In Iraq, a young girl is wounded in a car bombing, and local hospitals are not equipped to help. Michael Gallant (former series star SHARIF ATKINS), who is stationed in Iraq, enlists Neela's support to secure the necessary treatment at County General, but getting the girl to the United States proves to be extremely difficult. With time running out, Gallant resorts to calling in a favor to bring the young girl to Chicago. Meanwhile, Neela is redefining her role at the hospital and rediscovering her romantic feelings for Gallant.
