Mitch's erratic behavior and increasing deafness bring him and a worried Terri to loggerheads until Mitch undergoes tests uncovering that his recent symptoms are the sign of something far worse than either of them had imagines. Special requests are being made of the doctors at All Saints, and their response will change lives and lead to explosive conflict on Ward 17.
