Episode 3

Ann Czarnik is a blonde and blue-eyed country girl from West Virginia who speaks her mind. She wasn't prepared for the carnage of the Hopkins ER which serves one of the country's most blighted urban landscapes due in part to East Baltimore's high rates of gun violence, STDs and intravenous drug use. Relying on a mordant sense of humor, Czarnik’s life is filled with moments where tragedy and hilarity intersect.

Earl Ingemann is a live wire. A 19-year-old Bermudan, he is constantly eluding doctors and nurses who want him to stay put and behave like other patients on the heart transplant list. But Earl would rather prowl the hospital, go out for junk food, play video games and get his hair braided. However, he needs something more than a routine heart transplant and doctors are worried.

Also in this episode, Brian Bethea and his wife Amber try to reconcile.
