Others in the same area fall ill from identical aplastic anemia.
When a 10-year-old girl is found deathly ill from lack of healthy bone marrow, Dr. Connor and the NIH team work feverishly to keep her alive long enough to find a family member who would make a worthy marrow donor. Unfortunately, her adoptive parents just died days before, so Eva makes it her personal mission to find the adrift child's biological mother. But the case's urgency intensifies when others in the same area fall ill from the identical aplastic anemia while Eva struggles to convince the girl's reluctant real mom (as Cyndi, guest star Catherine Wadkins) to help save the abandoned daughter she wants to forget.
