A group of teenagers live together as patients at a hospital's pediatric ward and learn how to deal with their illnesses, the experiences that they have, and the people that they meet.

 

"How Did We Get Here?"

Emma and Leo find themselves on the verge of being released from Ocean Park. Leo is ahead of schedule with his physical therapy, and Emma convincingly lies to her therapist about her progress with anorexia. Meanwhile, pop star Delaney Shaw checks into the hospital for exhaustion, and Dash and Jordi see this as an opportunity to go after some life goals. Nurse Jackson warns Kara against getting further involved with Hunter. Also, Dr. McAndrew wants Dr. Grace back but ends up sleeping with Brittany, who is left hurt when he tells her that it was nothing but a one-night stand. In the end, while Leo is ordered to stay for another few weeks, Emma is released. Her frustrations with everyone, especially Leo, with regards to her eating disorder finally come out. Leo begs her to stay to get better, but she leaves her red band behind and says goodbye.

"What I Did For Love"

Leo is depressed over Emma's departure, and Kara overhears Hunter opting to check out of the hospital while he waits for a liver transplant. Delaney's friend visits Jordi in hopes of obtaining painkillers, and while he initially objects, he later finds out that he needs to come up with the money for emancipation quicker than he thought. Meanwhile, Emma's reunion with her family is rocky. She resents her mother for visiting her infrequently while she was in the hospital, and she sees how her disorder has affected her younger sister. Her father reveals to her that her grandmother also had an eating disorder, and this sends her into a tailspin. Leo and Kara venture out of the hospital and ponder their futures when they leave Ocean Park. That night, the two hook up in Kara's car. Just as Hunter is about to walk out of the hospital, he is notified that the doctors found him a liver, and he has his surgery. Meanwhile, Dr. Naday has made some progress with Charlie, who is now able to communicate through a computer via eye recognition. He also shows some romantic interest in Nurse Jackson, who wants to avoid an in-office relationship. Brittany is still reeling from her fling with Dr. McAndrew. After Emma's family forces her to have dinner, she locks herself in the bathroom to purge, and a little while later, her father finds her passed out on the bathroom floor.
