When a mistake occurs with one of the surrogate births, Rachel (Ming-Na) has to deal with preventing the couple from pursing a devastating lawsuit that could shutdown the Family Options Fertility Clinic. Seemingly unfazed, Dr. Malcolm Bowers (Jonathan Cake) decides to take on a case concerning a dead soldier's frozen embryos, but has to find some humility to ask former flame Dr. Nora Campbell (Angie Harmon) for her expertise in helping him aid a couple after he has failed again. Meanwhile, as Lydia (guest star Alfre Woodard) feels she is to blame for the mistaken baby's birth, Marissa (Mary Catherine Garrison) becomes unusually attached to the baby. Also, Scott (David Noroþa) and his neurotic partner welcome their new baby by a surrogate, and Patrice (Joelle Carter) seeks revenge after Dr. Bowers ends their steamy office romance. Reynaldo Rosales also stars.
Tensions are running high at the Family Options Fertility Clinic as it faces the Lindstrom lawsuit and Dr. Nora Campbell (Angie Harmon) makes Malcolm (Jonathan Cake) and Rachel (Ming-Na) an offer they can't refuse. After accepting the offer Malcolm begins to question their decision when he and Nora clash over how to best service their patients. Meanwhile, Rachel struggles to find her best friend and her best friends husband a surrogate, and Lydia (guest star Alfre Woodard) discovers the truth behind the beautiful woman who doesn't want to use her own eggs to get pregnant. Patrice (Joelle Carter) becomes increasingly paranoid about her secret when she begins to receive mysterious emails, and a devastating blow, worst than the Lindstrom cast, hits the clinic. David Norona, Mary Catherine Garrison and Reynaldo Rosales also star.
