cells: On the way to begin his surgical residency at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, Dr. Shaun Murphy witnesses an airport sign fall and shatter glass onto a young boy. Another doctor is first on the scene and begins applying pressure to the child's neck. Shaun tells him that he's pressing on the wrong part of the neck for a child. With his unique ability to visualize the internal body and using improvised methods and tools, Shaun is able to stabilize the boy. On the way to the hospital, Shaun notices that the boy's vitals have changed. Hospital staff are alerted to the arrival of the boy. Shaun tries to tell the doctors about the boy's vitals, stating that he needs an echo-cardiogram. The doctors disagree and begin surgery. While operating, something goes wrong and Claire Browne, a surgical resident, recalls Shaun mentioning an echo. Thanks to Shaun's diagnosis, the boy's life is saved. Meanwhile, in a hospital board meeting, Dr. Aaron Glassman, president of the hospital, tries to convince the board to hire Shaun, despite his autism. Flashbacks give us a picture of Shaun's childhood and his motivation for becoming a doctor.

cells: This episode's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. (January 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Dr. Melendez is doing rounds with Dr. Browne and Dr. Kalu. Melendez calls out Shaun for arriving late on his first full day. A middle aged woman is brought into the ER with abdominal pain. Shaun immediately diagnoses a malignant tumor. Melendez assigns Browne as his number two for the surgery while giving Shaun "scut work" - all the work that residents hate doing. On the operating table, the doctors find the tumor is much bigger than expected and has encased all of her arteries. Looking at biopsy results, the residents find out that she is suffering from leiomyosarcoma, making surgery seemingly impossible. Shaun's ability to visualize the internal organs allows him to figure out that removing one of her kidneys would allow a better look, enough to view and possibly remove the mass. To Browne's dismay, Kalu suggests Shaun's idea to Melendez, getting the credit for the idea. Meanwhile, Shaun's attention to detail in his scut work gets him into trouble. Instead of releasing patients ready for discharge, Shaun rechecks them and orders additional tests. Upon learning this, Melendez assigns Nurse Freydey as Shaun's "boss" for the day. Later, after rechecking a discharged young girl's test results, Shaun races to her home. The parents are annoyed that he's bothering them after midnight and at first refuse to let him in. Shaun insists he will not leave before seeing their daughter. His diagnosis is correct and they must rush her to the hospital for surgery to save her life.

cells: Shaun and Claire fly to San Francisco Municipal Hospital to get a patient a liver. They can't fly on their way back due to fog and are forced to use a police escort. Problems keep coming one after the other; first, the liver's temperature went above the required maximum, forcing them to have a sudden stop at a local store, where they cool it by submerging it in slush. As they proceed with their journey, Shaun discovers that the liver has a clot. With only two hours of viability left, the duo decide to perform an operation on the way in order to remove the clot and flash the left lobe, to protect it from the ice bath. Back at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, Chuck, the recipient of the liver, is discovered to have alcohol in his system; a likelihood that he might be moved to the bottom of the list. Chuck later confesses that he actually took a drink on his daughter's graduation. In order to protect its reputation and the future patients, the hospital decides to move Chuck to the bottom of the list. To their dismay, Shaun and Claire arrive back, only to find out that the liver has to be taken to another patient in another hospital.

cells: This episode's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. (January 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Through an ultrasound, an expectant woman's baby is diagnosed with a tumor at his tail bone; the mom has Antiphospholipid syndrome, making surgery a high risk. Dr. Melendez suggests termination of the pregnancy but Shaun interjects by suggesting clotting pre-operatively with an infusion of unfractionated heparin. Things are further complicated when the woman and eventually her husband refuse to terminate the baby. During surgery, there is a complication; a blood clot at the artery in her heart. Dr. Kalu has an idea that they should stop her heart and put her on a bypass machine for the duration of the surgery; that way she won't have an heart attack, which turns out to be successful and the doctors reveal she's carrying a baby boy. With a patient needing a boil lanced, Dr. Melendez assigns Shaun and Dr. Browne on the case, as a punishment for being late. The patient turns out to be a pornographic actress; she doesn't have a boil but a large Bartholin gland abscess and they prep her for surgery the following day. They successfully drain the abscess but discover that she has a Perineal myoma underneath. The fibroid tumor is wrapped around the nerve that facilitates feeling in her genitals. Therefore, the doctors have to remove the tumor but they have to sever the nerve; hence, losing all feeling in her genitals. Shaun comes up the idea of grafting the distal end of the pudendal nerve to the branch of the femoral cutaneous nerve from her inner thigh; this will lead to her losing feeling in her thigh while preserving feeling in her genitals.

cells: Shaun notices a young boy with an indubitable resemblance to his deceased brother Steve, forming a bond with him. The boy's name is actually Evan and was brought to the hospital by his parents for reportedly breaking an arm; unbeknownst to Evan, he is in fact suffering from stage 4 Osteosarcoma. Shaun later suspects that he might have been misdiagnosed with cancer but indeed was suffering from Langerhans cell histiocytosis. In order not to give both Evan and his parents false hopes, Shaun decides to lie, attempting to perform a bone marrow aspiration, but he is caught red-handed by the parents. Subsequently, Evan starts coughing out blood, sending him to the OR. While on the operating table, Dr. Neil Menendez and Dr. Claire Browne discover that the cancer had metastasized, undoubtable proof that he is indeed suffering with terminal cancer. The other doctors are trying to find a prognosis of a 66-year old man, brought to the hospital by his estranged son, with an allergy causing him to have convulsions. Dr. Browne later finds out that the man is suffering from Echinococcus, a cyst form of tapeworms. Saddened by Evan's fate, which Evan has in fact known about the whole time, Shaun reads Evan the final few pages of To Kill a Mockingbird, a book of Steve's that he never finished reading before he died.

Among the victims are a woman with severe, visible burns, on whom Dr. Kalu tries an experimental procedure, and a young man with a damaged leg who can either have it amputated, or have an artificial bone inserted. The relative newness of the latter procedure causes a conflict between the man's parents and his soon-to-be bride.

(January 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Shaun has not answered Dr. Glassman's calls prompting him to go to Lea's apartment where he barges in looking for Shaun. He is indeed hiding there, but when Lea threatens to call the police, Dr. Glassman leaves. At Lea's suggestion, the pair embark on an impromptu road trip. Besides driving for the first time, Shaun drinks Tequila, sings karaoke in a bar, and experiences his first kiss. However, Lea's revelation that she plans to move to Hershey, Pennsylvania to work in her family's auto body shop leaves Shaun devastated. In other developments, Dr. Melendez and Andrews operate on a conjoined set of twins, one of which needs a kidney. Complications develop and the operation to separate them, planned for six months after the kidney surgery, must be done immediately. The operation goes well until it's discovered the twins have not awakened from the surgery. In an effort to get his job back, Dr. Kalu apologizes to Dr. Coyle. When Coyle rejects the apology, Claire vows to ruin him by finding all the other women he has harassed. Dr. Andrews calls Kalu the next day with the news that Coyle came forward, but while he's willing to give him a recommendation for other hospitals, he cannot overlook the physical assault, and will not reinstate him at St. Bonaventure. We also learn that Dr. Melendez decides it's more important to be with Jessica and that he can be a "father" in other ways.

The operation goes well until it's discovered the twins have not awakened from the surgery. In an effort to get his job back, Dr. Kalu apologizes to Dr. Coyle. When Coyle rejects the apology, Claire vows to ruin him by finding all the other women he has harassed. Dr. Andrews calls Kalu the next day with the news that Coyle came forward, but while he's willing to give him a recommendation for other hospitals, he cannot overlook the physical assault, and will not reinstate him at St. Bonaventure. We also learn that Dr. Melendez decides it's more important to be with Jessica and that he can be a "father" in other ways.

(January 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) Shaun returns to the hospital and gives Aaron his two weeks notice. Glassman is seemingly reluctant to sign the papers to allow Shaun to resign from St. Bonaventure. Glassman finds out from Shaun that he is moving to Hershey, Pennsylvania because of Lea. He gives Murphy a recommendation, but will back off if he stays. Shaun decides to stay and returns the letter to Glassman, then meets with Lea for the last time and kisses her before she leaves for Hershey. Meanwhile, there are complications with Jenny, one of the twins that were separated. She is not getting enough blood flow to the brain and the surgical team put a stint in to help save her. The mother signs a waiver to have a heart transplant between the twins. In the surgical room, Katie shows signs of life. Shaun suggests they re-conjoin them at the thigh which would eliminate the need for anti-clotting meds and can go ahead with the heart transplant once Katie dies. While staying the night in the same room, Jenny decides to go ahead with the surgery. However, another complication arises when Jenny's already weakened heart begins overworking, which leads to Jenny's death on the operating table before the twins can be re-separated. Jessica looks into previous misconduct at the hospital in which white doctors were only warned not fired like Kalu was leading to allegations of racism and getting more donors for the hospital and they keep their jobs. During lunch with his lawyer, Kalu rejects the settlement offer because he wants his job back at St. Bonaventure. Kalu is seen getting suited up for a shift at the hospital, but Dr. Andrews didn't want him back as he felt using the racism card was setting them back. Finally, Jessica tells Melendez that she wants to break up because she feels like she is standing in his way of being a father.
