Nightwatch

In a night filled with multiple shootings, Holly and Nick have to search for a gunshot victim that has gone missing. Meanwhile Titus and Dan tend to a man stabbed multiple times. Keeley is heartbroken about the shooting tragedy in Orlando, and is intent on participating in the city’s upcoming pride march.

Working together for years has turned Titus and Dan into great friends. But on their shift, they inevitably come across folks who are the victims of crimes perpetuated by those closest to them. It’s on calls like these when they become more than just emergency medical technicians; they’re also therapists and counselors, doing whatever they can to steer some troubled people back in the right direction.

Every night, the members of the Nightwatch in New Orleans are reminded in new ways to be thankful for what they have. This shift is no exception. EMT’s Titus and Dan resuscitate an overdosing drug user just before all hope is lost; Brooke and Landon tend to a young girl with congenital heart issues; and a team of fire fighters contain a fire before it can wreak havoc. Then things get a little lighter when Titus and Dan learn a familiar patient is also a secret admirer of Holly.

On Nightwatch not all tragedies are created equal and tonight, when the men and women serving New Orleans get word that one of their own has been critically injured, they reflect on the risks they all take. The other calls of then night mirror that reality – including a scene where a small party was thrown into chaos by armed intruders, and a bar where a fight ended with a good Samaritan getting seriously wounded while trying to break it up.

As Titus puts it early in this episode, “When one of us gets hurt, we feel like all of us are hurt.” And in New Orleans on the Nightwatch, every call isn’t just about a victim whose life is in danger, or even a criminal who’s broken the law. It’s about people serving people. In several calls – from a restaurant in the French Quarter to a car accident uptown – bystanders chip in to help the first responders. There’s also a tourist who has to be coaxed to the hospital, and a rapper whose spotless record belies his style. In every case, the members of the Nightwatch offer southern hospitality, New Orleans style.
