Roy and John are trapped at Station 86 due to the only bridge in and out being washed away due to continuous rain storms, which ruins John's date plans, after Dixie got him to call his girlfriend. Since they are the only Squad in the area, they help two victims of an auto accident, then a child suffering from asthmatic bronchitis, an elderly woman with a hip injury and a man with cardiac problems. A psychiatrist aids the paramedics until Copter 15 transports the victims to the hospital, but a power failure causes issues. Dr. Morton accompanies the paramedics back to Station 86, where they respond to an auto accident with multiple injuries.
