Following Jordan’s accident, she and TC have broken up but are still working together. Jordan recruits one of her colleagues, Shannon Rivera (Tanaya Beatty), to join the Night Shift, and Shannon makes an unusual first impression with the staff. Meanwhile, Drew is sent overseas to Afghanistan along with colleague Syd Jennings (guest star Jennifer Beals), where they are forced to tend to a 15-year old patient who is pregnant and whose husband is a high-ranking member of the Afghani army. Elsewhere, TC, Topher and Scott tend to a female car accident victim, only to realize when the woman comes-to that they left her toddler son behind at the scene. Also, Gwen updates Kenny on her law school applications, and later learns the closest she got to acceptance was being put on a wait list at Georgetown.
