With a severe heat wave sweeping through Philadelphia, Andy and the team must familiarize themselves with the emergency protocols to handle the extreme temperatures. Meanwhile, Claire, a patient of Dr. Campbell, receives the devastating news that she is likely to develop Alzheimer's within the next decade, prompting her desire to have a child. Andy discusses Dr. Morton with Claire's children, who wonder why she struggles to find time for them.
