"Flesh and Blood"
Kimble takes an anticipated call from his sister Maggie. He's trying to tell her about a law firm that may handle his case when she interrupts with a serious blow - she's been diagnosed with leukemia. Kimble reels from the news, knowing her only hope is a bone marrow transplant and he is the most suitable donor.
In a Washington D.C. Hospital, Dr. Diana Thayer rouses overworked surgical resident Michael Augustine from a mid-shift nap. While opening a letter from Maggie, she sternly instructs the young doctor how to accurately fill out hospital charts and records. As she walks to her car she is met by a former star pupil, Richard Kimble. He tells his mentor that he needs to have his blood tested for a match to Maggie's. A character witness at his trial, she is still resistant to comply because of the risks involved. After explaining that his sister's life depends on it, and he has nowhere else to turn, she agrees to help him. She gives the samples to Dr. Augustine. The results come back as a match, leaving Kimble with no other option than to go back to Chicago. He tells her "I'm going to turn myself in." Dr. Thayer realizes she can't let Kimble throw his life away to save Maggie. Even though her career and the approval of a new surgical wing at the hospital are at risk, she insists the procedure be done by her.
In Chicago, Maggie leaves her two children in the care of her ex-husband Jonathan. Without an explanation, he is certain that this has something to do with Richard and goes to see Gerard. A hospital administrator is concerned that Dr. Thayer is treating a patient without any insurance, which puts a strain on the overburdened budget. Jonathan confronts Maggie, but when she can only say that she needs Richard, he realizes it's a matter concerning her health, asking her "Is Richard treating you?"
Later, he tells Gerard that he's made a mistake and there is really nothing going on. Gerard is certain he's trying to cover something, and begins investigating.
When the administrator sees Dr. Thayer treating Maggie, another uninsured patient, she threatens to take the issue up with the board. Meanwhile, Dr. Augustine and some of the other residents are growing suspicious of Kimble and his relationship with Thayer. Kimble sees Maggie being prepped for the procedure, but because of a risk of infection he can't enter the room. Eyeing each other through the glass, their silence speaks more than words.
Later, while talking to Maggie on the phone, he consoles her and she reminds him of the time he "operated" on her Chatty Cathy doll when they were kids.
Thayer enters a conference room full of administrators who tells her that they have something that needs to be discussed. Her anxiety grows until the lead administrator, Dr. Wilder, tells her that they've just approved the new surgical wing of the hospital to be named after her. Thayer expresses her gratitude as Gerard enters and demands to speak to her regarding Richard Kimble. Without a warrant however, she refuses to let him search the hospital. Thayer tells Kimble that he doesn't have much time. She takes him into the outpatient ward where she begins collecting his bone marrow. Michael, who realizes that she is helping a former student, warns her that Gerard is on his way. When Gerard tries to confiscate Kimble's bone marrow she tells him that Maggie will die if it becomes contaminated. He has no choice but to escort her back to the hospital.
Among the administrators, Gerard orders a review of all the records to show if Maggie or Richard Kimble have been admitted to the hospital. Before the administrators can question Thayer, she offers her resignation. After which Dr. Wilder tells Gerard that he cannot search any files or talk to the staff without a subpoena.
In a New Hampshire thrift store, a clerk hands Kimble a vintage Chatty Cathy doll, a nostalgic gift for his sister Maggie.
