As the storm rages, patients are brought to the hospital by the busload and resources dwindle; a doctor's life hangs in the balance.

Sam and Naomi compete in an election to see who runs the practice; Pete's old flame, Meg, shows up and shines some light on Pete's past; Cooper treats a young boy but the child's mother freaks out when she recognizes Cooper from a sex website; Addison treats an Afghan girl who wants to be re-virginized.

From the beaches of Malibu to the streets of East Los Angeles, this fast moving drama takes viewers inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families. In the series premiere, John Cooper (series star MICHAEL CUDLITZ), a seasoned Los Angeles police officer and his rookie trainee, Ben Sherman (series star BEN McKENZIE), respond to a call that ends in a deadly shoot-out – and Ben is left questioning whether or not he has what it takes to become a police officer. Even though John is cool to the new recruit and his straitlaced "Beverly Hills" past, his honed insight and honest, no-nonsense advice is invaluable to the young rookie: "Look sharp, act sharp, be sharp. You do what they teach you in the academy, you will die."

While seeking out the Clairvoyant the team boards a train that appears to be heading toward doom.
