Upset, Jake runs into Joe, who tells Jake that he absolutely did the right thing. He advises to focus on Taylor and not on Kendall.
At the hospital, Zach learns that Kendall needs another operation but that her body is probably not strong enough. He sits with her, wondering what to do. Bianca comes in and he says he doesn't know what to do. Binks wishes she could do more; Zach says just being there is enough. He isn't sure his being there is helping, though, because of their recent fights. "I could have handled things better," he says. Bianca says Kendall knows how much Zach loves her. Bianca sits with Kendall and remembers her last conversation with her sister. Kendall told her about Zach's request for more kids and her fears that her marriage was in trouble. Binks whispers in Kendall's ear that they are going to make it. Joe takes Bianca and Zach into a waiting room. David walks in and says he'll do the surgery. Erica says she asked David to come but Joe objects to him working in the hospital. David asks what Zach wants. Zach leads Erica and Bianca into the hall. Both women say David is the best surgeon he could hope for. They return and give David the green light. Zach can't believe what he just said. Bianca goes to David and pays her respects. David walks out and Zach stops him. He warns David to be careful; David brings up Maria and Dixie and says Zach shouldn't be distracting him like this. He says Zach owes him and walks away. Bianca catches up with Zach and lets him hold the baby. She reassures him about Kendall. Bianca brings up baby names and Zach suggests Gabrielle; Bianca likes the name. "She's God's special messenger," Bianca says.
David opens the door to Babe’s room to see J.R. holding her crying and saying goodbye. J.R. says, “She’s dead." David cries, “No!" and uses CPR to try to revive her. He’s in anguish. He talks to Babe and says she was the reason he came back. Krystal and Tad walk in. Krystal holds Babe and cries for her daughter. David leaves. Babe is ready to go to the morgue; Krystal and J.R. say their last goodbyes. J.R. says he loves her and always will. He kisses her tenderly. Krystal goes through a few items of Babe’s while J.R. watches. Krystal cries into Babe’s blouse. Tad enters and comforts her. J.R. pulls their wedding rings out of his pocket. Tad embraces J.R. as well as he cries for Babe. As they leave the Chapel, Ryan sees David and grabs him by the throat knocking him to the ground. He is sure that David has Emma. Joe interrupts to say this isn't the time. Babe just died. David says he arrived too late and that J.R. killed her. He walks away.
In the hospital stairwell, Taylor finds Jake having a quiet moment on the steps. Jake says when the tornado hit and the lights went out, he felt like he was back in Africa where he had no rules, no backup. He forgot where he was for a moment. Taylor says with all the odds stacked against him, he saved Kendall’s life. Jake says, “But she’s still unresponsive." Taylor leaves and Joe arrives to reprimand Jake for going ahead with the operation. Zach is hiding under the stairwell listening. Zach comes out to confront Jake and gives him a push. Meanwhile Taylor is coming up the stairs and Zach inadvertently pushes Taylor down the entire flight of stairs.
Tad and Krystal get little A and Kathy back to their feet after the storm blows over and then Krystal runs for Babe's room. Joe tells the staff to keep working while Jesse calls all officers back to work! Joe tells Jesse they have no communication and they try to get things settled back down. Taylor arrives; Joe and Jesse are talking about the non-operating generator. Taylor says she can help and they hurry to the generator. Taylor suggests using jumper cables to get it started and runs to Jesse's truck. They hook up the jumper cables but it doesn't work. Jesse pounds on the buttons and finally the generator starts working.
In a private room, nurses work on Kendall, who is still unconscious. Joe and Frankie come in and talk about the case; Frankie says her outlook isn't good. Joe says the neurosurgeon can't get in because of the storm and says Kendall will have to wait.
Greenlee finds Joe and asks about Kendall; there is no improvement. She asks about Zach; Joe says Zach is stuck at the beach house with a pregnant woman. The crew from Adam's jet arrives and report that Adam didn't make it to the airport. Jake tells Joe to let Greenlee see Kendall since they are so close. Frankie brings the latest x-ray; Joe wants to wait for the neurosurgeon but Jake says they don't have time for that.
In Kendall's room, Greenlee tells her that Zach and boys are fine and she has to hold on. She hears the doctors talking; Jake says he can perform the surgery and they can't wait. Jake asks if Greenlee will give her consent since she is Kendall's closest relative available.
Ryan takes Annie to the hospital. Joe checks her out and says the baby is fine for now but she should take bed rest, just to be on the safe side because the cramps could lead to miscarriage. Annie agrees to his plans but says she wants to tell Ryan. Joe agrees to that and Annie goes to Ryan in the waiting room. She doesn't tell him about the bed rest.
Jake is whining about his homelessness at the hospital when Aidan calls. Taylor, across the hall, hears him talking to Aidan and calling him sweetheart. She thinks he is gay! A nurse shows Taylor into an exam room; Jake arrives to look her over! He checks out her feet and says she should take better care of herself by not running outdoors so much. He tries to smooth things over by saying he wasn't flirting with her; she says she understands that now. Jake continues his exam. Jake finally gets to the problem area - her heel. Jake says he's had the same ailment but he believes she may be in real trouble because her ligaments could be involved. He suggests an anti-inflammatory and leads her into the hall. She tries to hide her limp. A nurse tells Jake a hottie dropped off his box. "He's spoken for," Jake says. Taylor takes the prescription and leaves with the nurse. She asks the nurse about confidentiality and is reassured that the Army won't find out about her foot problem. Jake checks in with the nurse and decides to take on another shift. Joe overhears. He insists that Jake go ahead with his original plans. Jake says he can't let a friend down; Joe says he'll take the shift. "Just be Jake," he says.
