It was a strange week for emergencies in many ways: a cheerleader was left hanging upside down after being injured, and a landlady was almost eaten by a tiger in an apartment. Amid the chaos, Hen and her wife Karen went to court to secure full custody of Mara from Chim and Maddie.
It looked as if Ortiz would win, splitting the family up and trying to shut down 118 as well, but Hen and Bobby were able to get Gerrard on their side, capturing the politician on film admitting her mistakes, which led to her dropping out of the mayoral race and becoming no longer a threat.

The responders are shocked to see Weston, the cheerleader, whose lower half seems to be twisted in all directions from her upper half. This is a critical situation, as Weston's bones are cracking and his arteries are experiencing what could best be described as danger.

There are a lot of arteries in the pelvis, so they have to be very careful when they take him to the hospital. When Wes's blood pressure starts to drop in the ambulance, Eddie has to REBOAl.
