Dr. Goodwin butts heads with the chief of oncology, Dr. Helen Sharpe, as he believes that she spends too much time on television and not enough time practicing medicine leading him to give her an ultimatum . Max also meets the head of emergency, Dr. Lauren Bloom, who wants to be able to treat as many patients throughout her shift as she can, and Dr. Iggy Frome who is the chief of psychiatric and is dealing with a teenage patient who feels completely abandoned . Dr. Bloom must deal with her fling Dr. Floyd Reynolds ending as he becomes the new head of cardio - thoracic surgery and explains to her they can't have a relationship based on her skin color .
