One operating room left, every other surgical team tied up with a highway pileup: Tessa is bleeding out with her baby's heart rate crashing, and Paige — her husband's mistress and her oldest friend — is in labor down the hall. Colin makes the choice, and Tessa's own mother and brother enforce it. The surgeons save her life by taking her uterus. Her son is born without a heartbeat, and out in the corridor Colin is holding Paige's newborn while Tessa's mother tells him to hurry up and hold his son. The disposition form for Tessa's baby is signed three hours before her baby existed. She was trafficked at twelve and Paige took her place in that family while she was gone, so every fight since has ended with Tessa apologizing — but not this one.
