The Knick season 2 episode 6, titled "There Are Rules," takes place in downtown New York City in 1901. The episode begins with Dr. Algernon Edwards, the hospital's chief surgeon, attempting to perform a complicated surgery on a patient with a rare disorder that causes her to grow excess hair all over her body. While Algernon is focused on the surgery, he faces several interruptions from other hospital staff, including the new chief of medicine, Dr. Thackery. Thackery is determined to get Algernon removed from his position and is constantly looking for any opportunity to undermine him.

Meanwhile, Nurse Lucy Elkins is working to bring a new patient named Dottie to the hospital. Dottie has been arrested for being a prostitute and is suffering from severe stomach pains. Lucy tries to get Dottie to open up about her condition, but the patient is hesitant to share any information due to her fear of being arrested again.

At the same time, Herman Barrow, the hospital's administrator, is facing financial difficulties. He has taken out several loans to keep the hospital afloat, but now the loan sharks are coming to collect, and Barrow must come up with a way to repay them or risk losing the hospital.

As the episode progresses, the tension between Algernon and Thackery continues to build. Algernon becomes increasingly frustrated with Thackery's interference in his surgeries and the constant undermining of his authority. At the same time, Thackery is determined to expose Algernon's mistakes and prove that he is not fit to be the chief surgeon.

The episode also explores the relationship between Dr. Everett Gallinger and his wife, Eleanor. Eleanor has been suffering from mental illness since the loss of their child, and Everett is struggling to cope with her illness and the strain it is putting on their marriage.

Overall, "There Are Rules" is a tense and dramatic episode that explores the personal and professional struggles of the characters at the Knickerbocker Hospital. With complex surgeries, financial difficulties, and personal issues all coming to a head, the episode leaves viewers on the edge of their seats, wondering what will happen next.
