Dr. Max Goodwin, the medical director of New Amsterdam, is struggling to balance his work and personal life. His wife, Georgia, is pregnant and there are complications that require her to be hospitalized. Max is torn between taking care of his wife and managing the hospital. He relies on his colleagues to cover for him while he's away, but this decision has consequences.

Lauren becomes invested in Asher's case, but she struggles to get him to open up about what's going on. She tries to earn his trust by sharing a personal story, but Asher's reluctance to be honest about his condition puts him in danger.

Dr. Kapoor, the head of the Oncology department, is dealing with a patient who is hiding the fact that she has stopped taking her medication. Kapoor tries to help her understand the importance of taking her medication, but the patient is resistant.

The episode also touches on the theme of mental health. Dr. Bloom is struggling with anxiety and panic attacks, but she's hiding this from her colleagues.
