In this episode, we see Thony back at the hospital after her recovery and Ramona's arrest. She comes across Maria, a patient with fresh stitches. Maria reveals that she is an illegal immigrant who works for a drug dealer. Thony soon finds out that Maria's life is starkly similar to her initial journey. Thony thus makes up her mind to save Maria at any cost. The test results show something shocking — a bomb has been planted inside Maria's body. Soon, Thony learns that the Cowboy Hat is behind the bomb- and that he's out for revenge.

Thony refuses to leave the patient alone, and Dr. DuPont accompanies her after Thony promises to reveal her secrets.

After an intense operation, DuPont, Thony, and the bomb squad are finally able to neutralize the ticking bomb.

As promised, Thony comes out clean to Dr. DuPont. She reveals everything - her involvement with the cartel and her fake marriage to Jorge. Dr. DuPont listens to her and, in an emotional moment, reveals that she cares for her deeply. The two share an intimate moment in the on-call room.
