When a soldier is brought with an RPG in his chest, Jack calls his boss Colonel Blackburn, a CO, to help conduct a quick operation. Major Lori Darden, a nurse at the hospital, is with Jack, but it is clear they will need more hands for the urgent chest surgery. At first, Blackburn refuses to come only to show up later drunk. Jack and Lori refuse to let him come close to their critical patient.

After sending Blackburn back to his quarters, Jack and Lori decide to do the surgery anyway. They later report Blackburn’s misconduct and, in turn, become a target of his malicious jealousy and hatred. Blackburn swears revenge, and he starts by sending Jack and Lori on a mission where they sustain serious injuries. Though wounded, these two survive and continue dedicating their time to helping their patients. Once the case is investigated, Blackburn gets demoted, and Jack gets a medal for his exemplary work.
