As safety has been confirmed at the plane crash site, the doctors can finally go and examine the wounded; it's another harsh location to work in. The trainees reach the evaluation day; whoever passes has to decide on their post-graduation specialization.

This episode was about the death of Saejima's boyfriend who was once a doctor too and her tutor, but suffered from an illness that wasn't curable. He refrained from treatments that would extend his life, so he left his body to die out of its own will. However, when it happened, Saejima was on flight with the heli. Aizawa was dealing with a 7 year old child out of the orphanage. Due to his own history he was able to understand her and gain her trust.

Aizawa's put in charge of a very important task; Fujikawa makes a mistake in the ER; no one seems to be able to identify Shiraishi's patient's odd illness; Dr. Kuroda is unsatisfied with Fujikawa's work, but is having a change of heart regarding Hiyama. Personal histories of the trainees start to unravel.

Aizawa makes a mistake when he chose a seemingly more interesting case and sent an old woman back home instead that later collapses and falls into coma, leaving Aizawa with feelings of guilt. Hiyama is allowed to get on the Heli, but at the actual scene she cannot do much. Since the seniors are busy, Aizawa comes to help her out. Meanwhile, Fujikawa has to deal with a man that is wearing bras and Shiaishi dealing with a woman with a broken nose that don't want it to be operated.

A whole family keeps the four trainees busy. The mother and daughter are dominant, the grandfather doesn't care about rules (he leaves to take a look at the heli) and the father is calm. The lil girl is all over Aizawa, who grows fond of her too. The two male family members have to undergo an operation leaving their women worrying, but things go well. Shiaishi and Kuroda take the heli, but the scene is still dangerous and Kuroda saves Shiaishi from getting hit by a metal bar which lands on him.

Dr. Saijo has to perform a delicate operation on chief Tadokoro; Hiyama still hasn't recovered fully from her almost-lawsuit; Fujikawa sees a familiar face on location. A request for Doctor Heli comes in; there's been a plane crash.

Aizawa Kousaku visits the office of department head Saijou Akira (Sugimoto Tetta) and conveys his withdrawal as candidate for the Toronto University residency. Asked by Saijou if the cause is Amano Kanade's postoperative progress, Aizawa goes out of the room with no particular reason. Shinkai Hiroki then arrives and gets surprised hearing from Saijou about Aizawa's withdrawal.

One week has passed since Aizawa Kousakuhas returned to the Emerg ency Lifesaving Center. However, his guiding principles towards the interns clash with Shiraishi Megumi that Hiyama Mihoko and Fujikawa Kazuo are at the point of getting fed up. Shiraishi is having difficulty in acknowledging Aizawa's strict supervision of Yokomine Akari and wants the center to return to its smoothness. She quickly starts to regret wishing Aizawa's return.

With Amano Kanade's emergency operation and supporting another patient's sudden change in condition althrough the night, Aizawa Kousaku is unusually completely exhausted at their medical office. There, Fujikawa Kazuo carries in his arms a box of tomatoes as he reports for work. It's the tomato that the pregnant Saejima Haruka can only eat. Fujikawa complains that Saejima does not accept other food and if there's no tomato she gets in a bad mood but he looks happy in saying so. Hiyama Mihoko consults Shiraishi Megumi on the case of a guy you worry about having a wife but hides it under a story of a friend. However, with Shiraishi answering in a loud voice don't go into adultery, the other party Hiyama's consulting was mistakened and regrets it.

Because of Aizawa Kousaku and Shinkai Hiroki (Ando Masanobu), Amano Kanade's surgery safely ended. However, when Shiraishi Megumi asks Shinkai about it, the enunciation was quite bad. Kanade's parents seem to understand the result of the surgery however... On the other hand, a 17 year old high school male student has been given a diagnosis of brain death. That implies to Tachibana Keisuke that the potential heart transplant for his son Yuusuke has probably come. With cardiovascular doctor Inoue Nobuaki's identification, Tachibana reins himself not to hold expectations.

Aizawa Kousaku tried to distance himself from the affairs of Amano Kanade's rehabilitation but even if he turns the other way, he rather hears Kanade's voice. That day is also the first day Haitani Shunpei resumes to work in lifesaving after being injured from falling of a train platform. Haitani's explanation of the fall from the platform was due to the effect of the sleeping medication but Shirashi Megumi and company suspects if it was suicide. Haitani perceiving such atmosphere, goes on normally but Shirashi and Fujikawa Kazuo too has become awkward.

The four newbies will be doing "normal" work at the ICU, but they have the aim to right the Doctor Heli. However, only their supervisor decides who will ride on it and he'll base his decision on their skills. While Shiraishi fails to make the right decision on the actual scene, Aizawa can handle the situation. Meanwhile, Hiyama and Fujikawa have to realize that the "normal" work in the hospital is tough and emotionally challenging as well.
