She has also come back to work with her father, Dr. Rich Tyler, at a managed care organization called Triangle Health Care. Erin finds herself in a conspiracy involving a group of disgruntled physicians that range from the chief medical officer of Triangle Health Care to a cardiovascular surgeon and cardiologist at a superior performance hospital known for its health care quality.

As the physicians become aware of Erin's scrutiny, they discuss ways to stop her behavior before they are caught.

While in England, Erin finds out that her father has been placed in critical condition at a Michigan hospital.
