Story Guide
Episode 1
It's Christmas Eve, and Sloane has spent five years waiting for a kidney that could save her life. Instead, the organ allocated to her goes to the mother of her husband's mistress. Reid Carter, the transplant center director and Sloane's husband, cancels his flight and personally changes the recipient. Then Paige calls at midnight to thank Sloane for "voluntarily" giving up the kidney.
When Reid walks in, Sloane confronts him. His excuse: Paige's mother wouldn't have survived the night, and Sloane can wait for another kidney. She tells him she wants a divorce and is reporting him for changing a recipient without authorization.

Episode 2
Reid blocks the door and demands Sloane delete the complaint. He's not afraid she'll die—he's afraid he'll lose his license. Sloane fires back that his rules only ever applied to her.
She remembers her parents begging outside his office all night for her sake, only for Reid to have security throw them out for wanting special treatment. Yet one Instagram post from Paige was enough for him to change the recipient. He insists she still has her parents and him; she tells him he has no right to say that.
When she threatens to expose him, Reid slaps her hard across the face.

Episode 3
Sloane falls into the low cabinet by the door, her cheek burning. Reid stares at his own hand in disbelief. She pulls away when he reaches for her, and when her knees buckle, he carries her to the couch.
Then his phone rings—Paige, saying her mother has acute rejection. Reid answers instantly and heads for the door. Sloane can't even stand, begging for her medication first, but he tells her to take it herself and leaves.
Alone, she crawls to the cabinet, pills scattering across the floor. That's when she gives their marriage nine days: when the countdown ends, Reid gets divorce papers—or news of her death.
