When Max volunteers New Amsterdam to take over for a short-staffed hospital nearby, things get chaotic quickly. Iggy has a crisis of conscience after receiving the news that funding for a garden has been granted and an eager resident learns a secret about Dr. Bloom.

The pressure is on as Max takes on his first annual fundraising gala at the hospital and emotions are high as some of the doctor's families join them for the event. Meanwhile, Kapoor and Dr. Sharpe work together to find out what is making a father and son duo so sick.

Max is forced to face the heart-breaking consequences of one of his policies. Bloom comes to a startling realisation about Iggy.

Max invokes a hospital-wide census in effort to get to know the staff of New Amsterdam on a deeper level. Reynolds takes a leap of faith that lands him in hot water, and Dr. Castro extends her treatment plan to more patients in the hospital.

Sharpe lands in hot water when she goes out on a limb for a patient. Max's grief comes to a head, while Bloom takes a major step in her recovery.
