In Saving Hope season 5 episode 13, titled "Problem Child," the team at Hope Zion Hospital must deal with the aftermath of a tragic accident involving the daughter of a wealthy and powerful family. As they try to keep the girl alive, tensions rise between her parents and the medical staff, and secrets are revealed that threaten to tear the family apart.

Dr. Alex Reid (Erica Durance), chief surgical resident at Hope Zion, is one of the first to respond to the emergency call, along with Dr. Maggie Lin (Julia Taylor Ross), cardiothoracic surgeon and Alex's girlfriend. They quickly discover that the victim is 17-year-old Ava Stanton (Gracie Dzienny), a spoiled and entitled teenager who has lived a privileged life.

Ava's parents, Gabriel (Michael Riley) and Cynthia (Jennifer Dale), are both lawyers and are fiercely protective of their daughter. They demand that the hospital do everything possible to save her, but their overbearing attitudes and constant meddling make it difficult for the doctors to focus on their work.

Meanwhile, Dr. Shahir Hamza (Huse Madhavji), head of neurosurgery, is dealing with his own problems as he prepares for the birth of his child with Dr. Dana Kinney (Wendy Crewson), chief of surgery. As the due date approaches, Shahir becomes increasingly anxious and begins to doubt his ability to be a good father.

As Ava's condition worsens, the team at Hope Zion must make some difficult decisions about her treatment. Dr. Zach Miller (Benjamin Ayres), an ICU attending physician, is convinced that she needs surgery to save her life, but Dr. Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks), the hospital's chief of surgery and Alex's ex-boyfriend, disagrees.

Charlie, still dealing with the emotional fallout from his recent breakup with Alex, is hesitant to perform the surgery, and his reluctance puts him at odds with Zach. As the two doctors debate the best course of action, Ava's parents become increasingly impatient and demand that the hospital take action.

As the episode unfolds, secrets are revealed that shed light on Ava's troubled past and the dysfunction within her family. Alex and Maggie must work together to keep the girl alive, while at the same time dealing with their complicated relationship and their own personal struggles.

In the end, the team at Hope Zion must come together to save Ava's life and navigate the complex web of relationships and emotions that surround her. "Problem Child" is a powerful episode that delves into themes of family, sacrifice, and the bonds that hold us together in the face of tragedy.
