After a new memory, Andrea finds it hard to believe what his memory seems to be suggesting to him, and he asks Enrico to discontinue treatment. Even on the ward, the situation is far from quiet. In addition to Rita, a young girl who refuses chemotherapy, Andrea and his team have to deal with the case of a patient they know all too well.

Doc finally knows how to track down the woman he is looking for, but he must first find the courage to do so. Meanwhile, Ric faces the case of an undisciplined personal trainer, while Damiano must deal with the hospitalization of a model, his brother Samuele's girlfriend. This case threatens to bring up old family grudges.

The deadline to submit the research is approaching, but Giulia seems to have other things on her mind. Even Doc struggles to manage the myriad commitments: there's the meeting with the funders and then there's Carolina, who is in town for a few days. Everything takes a back seat, however, when Lin's sister is hospitalized. A case that will force the resident to come to terms with her father.

Giulia must make a decision about her personal life that will also affect her career. While Martina faces the most difficult exam of her life, Ric takes on a case that will force him to come to terms with Alba's ghost. Lin and Federico, on the other hand, get back to work on the database, but they risk bringing Doc closer to the truth that Agnese has been hiding from him.
