Motherhood forces Mel to make an important decision about her future at the clinic, while her pregnancy unexpectedly sparks an emotional connection to her past. To further prove himself to Mel, Jack faces some long overdue confrontations – with his own demons and, of course, Chamaine. And when Doc and Hope’s limitations challenge their very identities, the Doctor and Mayor must find solace in their community, in their young new family, and in each other.
