Martin goes to the hospital and learns that third-year resident Erica Loza was last seen on the pad at 10 p.m. the previous night. In her locker he finds that a non-hospital number paged her ten times the previous night and finds a card with "Next time you're dead" written on the back.
Jack interviews the doctor Loza argued with the night before, Sally Moss. Moss has positive things to say about Loza but mentions the previous night was not her best shift and that one of her patients suffered massive internal bleeding.
Flackback to Loza and Moss discussing the case in the question when the patient's son, Peter Lewis, walks up and begins berating Loza and the care she gave his father, now in intensive care..
Moss tells Jack that Lewis' father eventually died but refuses to say whether or not Loza was at fault.
12 Hours Missing
Martin and Elena interview Loza's boyfriend (Seth) of five years. He doesn't recognize the picture of Lewis but admits that their relationship had been rocky.
Flashback to Seth confronting Loza at work after finding out she cancelled a long-planned vacation without consulting him because it conflicted with work. Reference is made to Loza's having grown up in foster care.
Seth tells agents he just discovered the excuse Loza used to cancel the vacation was a lie but hadn't had the opportunity to confront her about the deception.
Viv tells Danny that just after getting a refund for the vacation, Loza got a $5,000 advance on her credit card. Danny found out that Loza bounced out between foster homes before landing with Long Island resident Camilla Russo when she was 12. Viv tells Danny that the pages Loza received the night she disappeared came from a pay phone in that area. Viv gets a call that Lewis was just picked up on a DUI.
Though he was escorted from the hospital at 8:30 p.m. and didn't arrive at the bar until 1 a.m., Lewis denies any involvement in Loza's disappearance.
Flashback to Lewis overhearing a conversation between Loza and a nurse who tells her several controlled substances are missing and that she suspects one of the residents is selling the hospital's prescription drugs.
Via hospital surveillance the team notices Loza ducking into the pharmacy the previous night using the key pass of a tech, George Young.
Young tells Sam and Martin he was home the previous evening but noticed his key pass was missing shortly after having lunch with Loza. A friend of Loza's, Young says she'd been acting strange.
Flashback to Young catching Loza crying by herself outside the hospital. Loza tells him she's a hypocrite, that she's hurt a lot of people and become "cruel and selfish."
Jack speaks again with Moss who finally confesses that the death of Lewis' father was the fault of an intern, Ian Geddes. Geddes tells Martin and Danny that he was covering for Loza, but still doesn't know why she left him alone.
Flashback to Geddes trying to find Loza that night for help with Mr. Lewis. He spots her wheeling a woozy-looking patient to a shady character in street clothes. The man threatens Geddes with a gun before he and Loza leave the hospital with the patient.
Geddes didn't recognize the patient from their floor and had not yet had a chance to confront Loza about the incident before Mr. Lewis's health deteriorated.
17 Hours Missing
Viv and Danny find out the patient Loza had helped remove from the hospital had been admitted two days with broken bones and internal bleeding. The information given was fake, but the prints on the admission form were a match to an ex con named Jeff Ellis.
Jack interviews Ellis' girlfriend Pam at her apartment. She admits knowing Loza, that she had fixed a cut above her eye.
Flashback to Loza showing up at Pam's place after Ellis he had been repeatedly paging her. Ellis is not there, and Loza tells Pam she was supposed to meet him there the following morning and assumes something is wrong with his friend Dominic, who happens to be in need of the very same drugs Loza stole from the pharmacy. Loza tells Pam that she owes the men her life.
Jeff called an hour later and talked with Loza, who promptly left the apartment. Pam tells Jack Ellis and Dominic had been helping a man named Yuri high-jacks trucks in New Jersey and that a job must have gone sour. Yuri, she says, is responsible both for beating up Dominic and her cut.
The call from Jeff to Pam's apartment came from a pay phone near the one which made the calls to Loza the previous night. Martin tells Elena that Dominic does not have a police record, but that he lived with Russo the same time as Loza.
Russo tells Martin she recently saw Ellis at a soup kitchen and that he had been furious when she told him of Loza's residency.
Flashback to lean times in Russo's household, with Russo telling a young Loza that because of mounting medical bills she can no longer take care of the kids. Loza pleads with Russo to at least keep her.
Russo said she ended up keeping Loza, and the result was Ellis and Dominic ending up in a group home. Though Russo said she took the blame for the decision, Ellis and Dominic never forgave either her or Loza for being sent away.
Sam and Danny kick down the door of an apartment and find both Ellis and Dominic, the latter looking sickly in one of the beds. Ellis said he did not know what happened to Loza, that she was helping them and left to look for bus tickets to Ohio.
Flashback to Ellis talking to Loza at the hospital and explaining to her that Yuri thinks he stole from him and if they don't move Dominic he'll be killed. Loza isn't convinced until Yuri himself shows up with flowers and the "next time you're dead" note from earlier.
Ellis tells the agents Loza understood the gravity of the situation after Yuri's arrival and has been taking care of Dominic all night.
Jack speaks with Dominic, who has now been admitted to the hospital. Jack tells Dominic (in not-so-believable fashion) that he is dying and asks if he would like to get anything of his chest. This of course leads to Dominic spilling the beans.
Flashback to Ellis telling Loza that Dominic did, in fact, steal from Yuri (to prove a point to Ellis) and even giving back the money won't matter to Yuri. Loza decides she should give the money back to Yuri, and after Ellis promises never to work for Yuri again Dominic tells Loza where to find the cash. Loza says the pair should leave town after she meets with Yuri and tells them she has money to help them get on their feet.
Dominic tells Jack that Loza was taking the money back to a building in the Bronx, followed immediately by a doctor walking in the room and telling Dominic he is perfectly fine.
Cut to Yuri and Loza talking, with Yuri seeming much more interested in the whereabouts of Ellis and Dominic than with the money itself. As a SWAT team surrounds the location, Yuri starts to get aggressive with Loza. Yuri is shot through the head by a sharpshooter as FBI agents swarm the building and get Loza out unharmed.
Martin and Loza have a lame interaction featuring his telling her she's now paid her dept to Ellis and Dominic, followed by Seth arriving and the couple embracing.
