About the Episode

When vacationing guests at a tropical family resort began dropping due to respiratory problems, Dr. Connor choppers in to assess the fast-spreading disease that has many contrary symptoms, forcing him to quarantine the entire island -- a bold decision that spells bad publicity for the anxious hotel company. Meanwhile, Dr. Durant stays behind in nearby Miami to run extensive lab tests and help the desperate Connor narrow the odds of finding the source of the deadly contagion.
