Dawn rozhoduje, že Charlie má být odpojen od přístrojů. Je odpojen, ale chvíli bude trvat, než úplně odejde. Charlieho duch potkává svého starého učitele medicíny, Maca. Jeho tělo bylo převezeno z márnice, mají být na něm prováděny nějaké pokusy. Mac je tady také proto, aby Charliemu pomohl odejít...

Charlie’s ex-wife, Dawn, has pulled the plug on his ventilator. All that’s left now is to wait for his breathing to stop. Devastated, Alex vows to stay by Charlie’s side. Meanwhile, Charlie – resisting his death – bumps into Mack MacIlreath, a recently deceased colleague, who has come to help Charlie die. Alex decides to lawyer up and appeal to the Consent & Capacity Board. While the process gets started, Alex is pulled away to meet with a patient: a young woman named Bea, who Alex performed surgery on while working as a first year surgical resident under Dr. Charles Harris. Bea’s check-up is all clear, but Mack and Charlie fear that she was misdiagnosed. And if Alex doesn’t catch it before Bea walks out of the hospital, she could die. Elsewhere, Joel’s hand is broken and he cannot operate until it is fully healed. Stuck with doing consults, he takes the case of a choir singer who makes a “miraculous” recovery from her paralysis.

Après que Charlie ait été débranché du respirateur, Alex et lui ne peuvent qu´attendre et se désoler : est-ce vraiment la fin? Mais les nouveaux symptômes de Bea, une ancienne patiente, leur permettent d´élucider un aspect du coma de Charlie. Maggie et Gavin sont confrontés aux conséquences de leur baiser.

Con Charlie desconectado de su respirador, lo único que pueden hacer Alex y él es preguntarse, ¿de verdad se ha acabado? Pero cuando llega un paciente para un seguimiento rutinario, sus nuevos síntomas podrían llevar a Alex y a Charlie a descubrir algo sobre su coma. Mientras tanto, Joel no puede operar tras romperse la mano y Maggie y Gavin lidian con las consecuencias de su beso.
