Nat treats a baby who comes in with mysterious symptoms. She keeps getting worse, but diagnostically, nothing makes sense. After the girl is taken up to the PICU, Connor asks Nat if she will speak to the parents about testing the girl for compatibility with his patient, a baby who was born not breathing and has never left the PICU. Tim's health has been declining, and Connor has been trying to get him bumped to the top of the UNOS list for a heart.  Things don't look good for the baby girl, but Nat notices a grass stain on the brother's shirt, and figures out that the girl has contracted botulism. This allows her to plan a course of treatment for the baby girl, but because she gets better, there is no heart donor available for baby Tim. Connor, who has been on the case from the start, takes Tim's death particularly hard. His conversation with Nat at the end of the day inspires her decision to go to Jeff's.
