But the episode’s core isn’t the gunshot. It’s the girl. A 16-year-old, Layla , is wheeled in unresponsive, pupils pinned, respiratory rate 6. Parents (corporate lawyers, impeccably dressed) demand privacy and refuse a tox screen. “She just had a panic attack,” the mother insists. “We want our doctor.”
Back in the present: Layla seizes. Mira orders a stat tox screen against parents’ wishes. Result: high-dose fentanyl + xylazine (“tranq”). Layla needs naloxone drip and ICU. The mother screams, “You’ll ruin her future!” The father threatens to call the hospital CEO. Mira’s senior resident, Harding (grizzled, burned out), pulls her aside: “You’re right. But you’ll be fired by morning.” Mira doesn’t flinch. “Then I’ll be right and fired.”
