Summary
Two guys rob a jewelry store and kill the proprietor. The guy who fired the lethal shot gets away, but his partner (who is AWOL from the Army and was recently stationed overseas) is caught and hospitalized with a strange illness.
Dr. Hickman is worried, so she calls in Dr. Connor and Durant from the NIH, who identify the patient as having a rare and dangerous viral infection. There is another patient at Beth Israel who has it and Carlos (who has just had a happy reunion with Holly) has been exposed and collapses with a high fever after vomiting.
Sully continues to encourage Monroe to tell Ty about her pregnancy, but she wants a chance to work things out on her own with Ty before telling him about the baby.
As Cruz and Santiago take Maddox to central booking, he is shot in the police station by a young boy.
When a man named Marcel Hollis arrives with a lawyer to take care of the boy, Cruz finds out that Hollis was Maddox's second in charge and is now taking over the 108 (Maddox's gang).
Cruz can't find a way to arrest Hollis, so he remains free to brutaly get rid of his competition. Faith finds out that Bosco requalified, but he blows her off when she asks him how. Faith decides to do a little investigating.
