A severe trauma patient arrives after falling from a train, identified as Terry Grandchester, leaving Candy distressed by his unresponsiveness.

Natalie encourages Candy to visit Terry, who is revealed to be Charlie Sanders, a gang leader who escaped prison by jumping from the train to avoid capture. Charlie seeks to join the army and redeem his past. Eliza discovers the truth during a night visit and demands Candy leave Chicago in exchange for silence. Candy refuses to abandon her career and attempts to persuade Charlie to surrender. Eliza contacts the police, leading to Charlie’s arrest and placing Candy’s position in jeopardy due to suspicion of aiding a fugitive.
