Dr. Steven Connor watching his son playing baseball while a call comes through and requires him to go back to his headquarter for a serious case. Then a helicopter appears and Connor makes a dramatic exit off the field.
One by one, people are starting to fill the hospital as they catch a rare case of food poisoning and turning them blue. As one of the patient dies, Connor and Powell goes to a restaurant where all the patients dined at before they got sick. They search everywhere for clues, hoping to find the source of the disease. They know every patient have nitrate in their bodies, but it could come from many kinds of food. When Dr. Durane calls and tells them that everyone had the breakfast special, it is still not enough to figure out what the source is. Then, Connor starts to picture the scene where everyone is eating breakfast and viewers can see exactly what Connor is imagining, as the ghostly images represent the people he's imagining. Connor begins to picture that the victims might have putted salt in their breakfast. Dr. Durane confirms, they all putted salt in their breakfast. So Connor takes the bottle of salts from the desks the victims sat at and performs experiment. It turns out that those aren't salts at all, they are sodium nitrate. However, sodium nitrate alone isn't strong enough to kill a person; they have to be mixed with special acids inside them for it to be strong enough to kill them.
Meanwhile, young Dr. Miles McCabe gets to shine in his own small plot line. He is assigned to investigate a case where a baby has bruises all over his body. The senior doctors think it was abused by the father, but after McCabe checked the eyes of the baby, which is blue, it turns out that the baby is having a rare disease.
