==Full Summary==
Maya holds Carina's hand in a procedure room. A nurse shows Maya a picture of the embryo on a tablet. Carina drinks a cup of water. They watch on the monitor as the doctor transfers the embryo into her uterus, then gives them an ultrasound picture of Carina's uterus with the embryo inside.
Maya sees Carina moving a monitor in the clinic and stops her.
Sullivan tells Beckett they need food on the tables and he's on sandwich duty. Vic and Travis need to get chairs from the pharmacy becuase they're also going to be doing vaccinations. Andy has some child-sized chairs that Peggy and Dayna had in their garage. She's going to use them to set up an area for the kids. The chief says their patients will be arriving any minute now. Ben comes in with Joey and says Joey is there to be helpful so they should put him to work.
Vic wants to reschedule the Crisis One fundraising calls because they have an actual emergency on their hands. Travis tells her not to because now he owes Eli a favor for getting Vic in with the Hudon Foundation and their deep pockets. Vic says she's a firefighter, not a salesperson. Travis reminds her of what she told him when he was running for mayor. To get her mind off her nerves, Vic wants details from his date with Dominic. All he'll say is that they had a good time and he's taking it slow. They see Ben and Joey arguing nearby and Travis asks if Vic knew Joey was volunteering. Vic says it sounds more like he was voluntold. Travis guesses that he totaled Ben's car. Vic adds running over the family cat. Andy joins them and asks if they know why Joey is there. When Vic tries to make a joke about Andy not knowing, Andy reminds her that she has fundraising calls to make.
Ross asks if she has anything else on her schedule. Kel reminds her about the meeting at the lounge. She says not today, but she's already said that three times before. He reminds her that her engagement party is tomorrow and they worked hard to get it ready for her. She says she didn't ask them to do that, but agrees to get there somehow. As Kel leaves, he asks if she was expecting a visitor. She's surprised when Jeonghee Lee, her sister, comes in, fresh off a plane from Korea. They hug.
Travis tries to make things less awkward between Ben and Joey, but fails. Beckett brings in the sandwiches he's made. They're simple and allergy-considerate. They finally learn that Ben is mad at Joey because he dropped out of school. Joey doesn't think he should be going to class when the world is a dumpster fire. Travis finds comfort in helping their community, but Joey thinks it's just a bandage on the gaping hole. Andy says it's not a normal clinic day as Sullivan welcomes dozens of migrants into the station.
Sullivan calls everyone's attention and welcomes them. He explains that they can provide medical care and refreshments and they only have to tell them what they're comfortable sharing. Andy tells Joey that the migrants have been on a bus for over 35 hours. They were sent from Texas to Pike Place Market as a political stunt. Emergent patients went to hospitals, so the fire stations are setting up to accommodate everyone else. Sullivan comes to them and says they got more patients than they anticipated, so he sends Joey to have Ben set up another clinic stall.
Maya gives Carina supplies and says she wishes Carina would rest. Carina insists that she's fine and sitting at home wouldn't make the embryo implant, plus these people need a doctor. Maya thinks it would be better if Carina stayed at home and rested. Carina asks if that's her expert opinion, because hers is that she's a doctor and she has patients to see. Maya sees Joey nearby and calls him to come with her. She asks if he's okay checking vitals today. Then she asks him about his adoption and joining a family that already had a child. Joey heard that Maya has a kid now. She tells him they're also trying to conceive. He thinks it's good that they're giving an existing child a home, but questions why they'd try to create a new person with the world as it is. Maya is overwhelmed by him and welcomes Andy coming in with Luis and his son, Rafael, who injured his leg. Andy will interpret because she's certified. It was hectic down at the market and they missed Rafael's leg injury. Joey takes his temperature and sees he has a fever. Luis thinks Rafael's mother will be upset because he promised her he'd take care of Rafael. Maya cuts the leg of Rafael's jeans and sees that his cuts are deep and infected. Andy says they'll get a doctor to look at him.
Ross asks Jinny why she's there. She got Ross's invitation and got on a plane. Ross is surprised because they haven't really spoken since Ross told Jinny she and Sullivan were back together. Ross asks about Jinny's husband and daughters. Ross says it's not a good day for her to show up. She'll be all over Seattle today. Jinny says she'll join her. Ross knows Jinny is hiding something and asks why she's there. Jinny says she's there to stop Ross from marrying Sullivan and making the biggest mistake of her life.
Ben examines Rafael's leg and says it's definitely infected. He'll need antibiotics and fluids. Andy asks how Rafael got hurt. Luis says there was razor wire in the Rio Grande.
Maya's phone rings. She checks it.
Jinny says Sullivan hasn't even met Ross's Korean family, but Ross says that Korean family hasn't called her in a decade. Jinny says people stop calling when you send them to voicemail. Ross just wants Jinny to be happy for her. Jinny says that's why she flew 5000 miles. When Sullivan married Claire, Jinny had to scrape Ross off the floor. She doesn't understand how Ross can trust him now. Ross says they've both changed. Jinny says if Claire hadn't died, he'd still be married and she'd still be waiting for someone else's man.
Carina introduces herself to Beatriz, who says she also speaks English. She has abdominal cramping and when she gets up, Carina notices blood on the chair. Beatriz apologizes, but Carina just wipes it up with alcohol and says it's nothing to be ashamed of. They have sanitary products and extra clothing, but first, Carina wants to examine Beatriz. She asks if Beatriz might be pregnant. Beatriz says she's been in detention for week and asks if she was assaulted. Beatriz says no, but two months ago, she had some bleeding at the detention center. She went to see the doctor, who was very busy and used medical words she couldn't understand, then did a procedure and told her she was fine. Carina is horrified that he would do that without consent or an interpreter. She wants to do an ultrasound and asks Beatriz if that's okay. Beatriz says yes and Carina goes to get a machine and says Beatriz can get changed.
Theo and Dominic come into the station with a bag of supplies to help the migrants get comfortable. Travis asks Dominic if he speaks Spanish and he says he speaks some. Travis needs an interpreter because many of the migrants had their phones confiscated and they're trying to connect them with family. Once they walk away, Theo points out that he also speaks Spanish and then shows Andy the supplies he brought. It's everything they'll need for their first night. They have to find a place for them to stay, too. Andy notices Theo looking around and tells him Vic is in the conference room fundraising for Crisis One and tells him not to disturb her. But he can help in the clinic while he waits. She goes to her office to work on finding shelter for them.
Ben says Joey was good with Rafael. He says he remembers what it's like. Ben's made his point and now Joey wants to leave. He doesn't have to go into medicine, but school gives him options. He could discover something else and make a new plan for his future. Joey says school has rich kids and kids who are under a mountain of debt and he doesn't fit in with either of them. Ben says they can't handle everything today, but they can take care of Rafael and his father, so they should start there.
Maya finds Carina looking for a tablet to work the ultrasound. She sees Maya's face and asks her what's wrong. Maya says Liam's social worker called and she found his bio-dad.
Ross and Jinny enter station 19 and Ross gives Beckett forms she needs them to fill out for the patients they treat. Beckett tries to flirt with Jinny, but Ross says Jinny's her sister and he backs off. Sullivan comes downstairs. He's happy to meet Jinny, but she's cold to him. Ross sends Jinny to wait for her in the beanery. Sullivan is happy, but Ross tells him they'll talk about it later.
Ben is cleaning out Rafael's leg. They have to irrigate it and Joey distracts Rafael by telling him it's like a fire hose for his soccer leg. Ben says they'll take Rafael to the hospital, but his leg wound needs to stay open to heal properly. Luis doesn't want to go to the hospital because they need to be back in Texas for their court date. Rafael says he wants to go home and see his mom. Luis reminds him that his mom stayed behind to take care of his sister and they came to the US to help them.
Vic finds Jinny in the beanery and is pleased to learn she's Ross's sister. She introduces herself and asks about Ross as a child. Jinny asks what Vic thinks about Sullivan. Vic says he used to be kind of a dick, but he's not so bad now, especially since he and Ross got together. They bring out the best in each other. Jinny asks if she knew Sullivan's wife and Vic, thinking she means Andy, says yes and she's their captain. Then Andy comes in and Vic introduces them, then excuses herself to get back to fundraising. Jinny asks Andy why she divorced Sullivan. Before she can answer, Ross comes in and chastises her for asking.
Beatriz notices that Carina seems sad and asks her about it. Carina says it's nothing for her to worry about and asks her about her trip to Seattle. Beatriz says she wanted out and didn't care where she was going. Carina asks her about her life back in Venezuela. She used to be a teacher. She'd like to teach, but she's willing to work anywhere for now. And then she can start a new family. Carina looks at her ultrasound and says she thinks they have a problem.
Beatriz asks what they did to her and Carina explains that she thinks Beatriz had bleeding fibroids and the doctor removed them, but he did a bad job. There's scarring in her uterus. Beatriz worries she won't be able to have children. Carina says she wants to do a more thorough exam in her office. Beatriz worries about how it'll affect her immigration status, but Carina assures her that she has rights as a refugee and they'll see what they can arrange for her.
Beckett tries to give away the last PBJ sandwich, but Dominic and Theo bring in Salvadorian food. Dominic talked the owner into donating it. Theo also brought Sullivan a smoothie.
Ben says the aid car will be back soon and they'll take good care of Rafael. Luis thanks Ben. He asks if Joey is Ben's son. When Andy says he is, Luis says he hopes someday to work with Rafael like Ben and Joey work together. Luis says it was his fault Rafael got hurt. They were crossing and Rafael got stuck. Luis was scared, so when Rafael told him he was hurt, he didn't listen and pulled him, which made it worse. He tells Rafael he's sorry. Ben says they do the best for their sons and sometimes they get it wrong. He says Rafael will be fine.
Leigh tells Ross she's more decisive than most of their guests. She wishes Ross would let them pay for part of the food after what they did. Ross says they were just doing their job. Jinny is displeased that there's no Korean food on the menu, not even her favorite. She wants to find a Korean place instead unless Ross has forgotten who she is for a man. Ross insists she knows who she is. Ross steps away to take a call from the mayor.
Andy asks Theo about him and Vic at the bar. Before he can say anything, Andy gets taken off hold. When she hangs up, she says she's found room for over half their refugees. Now they only need twenty more beds. She wants them to have a safe and comfortable place to sleep. Theo wishes he had a spare room. Andy remembers that's what they did in Martha's Vineyard and can't believe she didn't think of it sooner. They opened their homes to people. She has a room and so do Jack and Marsha. She asks Theo to call everyone he knows. Joey says there will be four more buses next week and asks what they'll do then. He asks if they don't get tired of putting out the same fire over and over again. Theo says the alternative is doing nothing and letting everything burn. Andy reminds Joey that someone taking him home changed his life. He's grateful, but now all he sees is more people who need help. Andy feels overwhelmed sometimes, but when things like this happen, they get to work because while they can't fix the whole world, but they can make a difference for the people who ended up with them today and that's not nothing.
Vic tries to make a case for getting funding for Crisis One. When Beckett comes in, she moves to mute herself and then rants about how hard it is to get money. She also gives Beckett the resources she pulled together for the migrants in between calls. She wishes this company would just tell her they can't do it so she can save some time and move onto the next thing. Beckett finally tells Vic he was there to offer her food, which she accepts. When she goes to take the call off mute, she realizes she never muted it in the first place. She apologizes for wasting their time and hangs up.
Beatriz thanks Carina for her help. Carina says she'll see Beatriz in her office next week. Sullivan is impressed that Andy found places for all of them to stay. Andy gives Luis clean clothes to take with them to the hospital. Once they're out of the hospital, they'll come stay with her until they leave for Texas. It's not his bed, but it's comfy. They thank her.
Theo brings a plate up to a sullen Vic. Vic tells Theo what happened with the foundation. She thinks she blew her shot at national funding. He encourages her to call them back and work her magic to fix what she thinks she broke. He leaves so she can do that.
Carina tells Maya she's going to pick up Liam from Peggy and Dayna's and asks if there's any work on Liam's bio-dad. Maya says the word is wait. They can't meet until tomorrow afternoon and there's no indication of what his bio-dad wants. Carina says they have to wait for that and for the embryo to attach. She's not built for waiting and neither is Maya. Carina says they're going to go into the meeting and fight. Maya agrees, but says if the bio-dad wants to keep him... Carina says it's not fair. She wishes Nanette had told the father. Maya wishes that, too, because then she wouldn't have fallen in love with Liam. She kisses Carina on the top of her head.
Vic finally gets taken off hold. The man on the line says he only has a few minutes. Vic apologizes for what happened before, but he says they were impressed. He talked it over with his colleagues and they want to form a national partnership with Crisis One.
Ben acknowledges that Joey has had a strange few years. It's a lot. Joey says it's still not enough. He thought he would make things better, but he feels guilty about having his tuition paid and his belly full. It doesn't seem fair. Ben says there's a lot wrong with the world. Most people don't get the chance he did, but it's okay for him to thrive. Then he can use that energy to help others. Now he has to tell Bailey he dropped out. Joey asks how much less mad she'll be if he tells her he decided to vote. Ben is horrified that he wasn't planning to vote and just wishes Joey good luck.
Jinny tries to talk to Ross about Andy. Ross says they were divorced before she and Sullivan reconnected. Ross is upset with Jinny for her reaction back when Sullivan first married Claire. Jinny maintains that she just wants what's best for Ross. Ross says she loves Sullivan and he loves her. She never feels small next to him and he doesn't want her to. Their love was too big back then, but now it fits. Jinny says Ross doesn't need her anymore and she pulls out her phone to get an earlier flight home so she doesn't ruin the party. Ross says she can't ruin it if she's not there.
Ross looks around the party.
Blanca tells Sullivan she can't get Ross to smile and Ross always laughs at her jokes. Sullivan says she'll talk when she's ready. Leigh brings Sullivan a dish and says the chef had never made it before, but she knows Ross will love it. Sullivan goes to Ross, who says she used to cry herself to sleep when Jinny went back home at the end of every summer. Sullivan also wishes she were there, but he has bindaetteok, her favorite. He wanted her to have a touch of Korea. He tells her to take a minute and enjoy it while he goes to get stories about her from her friends. She claims they're all liars.
Vic holds the elevator for Theo. He asked about her call and she says they want to collaborate on a national program. He is happy for her. She says they're based in D.C., so she might have to move there. He asks what that means for them. Vic says despite them hooking up, there is no them. The rest of the ride is awkward.
Andy tells Sullivan that Ross is lovely and he's happier than she's ever seen him. He says he is happy. She teases him about being married twice before. He asks if she's happy and she says she's captain. They toast to that. Maya and Carina arrive and Andy asks them how it went. Andy told the team they had a meeting with Liam's bio-dad. Maya and Carina say he wants to be involved in Liam's life, but he doesn't want custody, so they're officially on the foster-to-adopt track with Liam. The team celebrates. Carina is looking forward to this being official so they won't stress anymore. Ben says their parental stress is just getting started.
Travis orders a drink and Theo asks him about Dominic. Travis doesn't want to talk about it and Theo says Dominic was cryptic, too, so he knows something happened. Theo warns Travis not to toy with each other's emotions. They just need to be honest about what they want from each other. As Theo turns to move away, he runs into Blanca and spills his drink on her. He helps her get cleaned up.
Ross is standing alone when Jinny comes to her. She's happy to see her. They apologize to each other. Jinny finally admits that she and Minjun are getting divorced. She never had with Minjun what Ross has with Sullivan, so it felt like Ross was mocking her when she was just living her life. She lived a full life unlike Jinny. She lived a lie and now he's leaving her. Jinny says she's proud of Ross. Their whole family is. Ross says she's always been someone for someone else to protect them or save them. It lets her hide the part of her that needs to be saved sometimes. She's getting to know that part, too, and maybe they can help each other turn that page. They hug.
Sullivan notices Beckett watching Jinny and reminds him that Ross is a trained sniper. Beckett turns way.
Ross tries to ask Jinny about the divorce, but Jinny says it can wait. Tonight is about her and Sullivan. Sullivan approaches and Jinny is impressed to hear him speak Korean. It's a work in progress. Jinny wants them to start over and hugs Sullivan. She says he better be good to Ross. Sullivan steps away to give the sisters time to talk. Jinny tries the bindaetteok and finds it lacking. Ross says Sullivan didn't make it, which is points for him.
Jinny talks about Ross as a child and then leads Sullivan and Ross through hapgeunyre, a Korean cup ceremony. It's traditionally done with wine at the wedding, but since she doesn't know when she'll be back in America, they're doing it today with grape juice. It signifies two becoming one.

She saw a doctor, who used medical terms she didn't understand and then did a procedure on her and said she'd be fine. Carina decided to do an ultrasound to figure out what had been done.
