However, Carson vehemently disagrees with the diagnosis and insists Cody needs lifesaving emergency surgery. Abigail must decide whether to allow Carson to operate against Dr. Strohm's orders, while Elizabeth tries to convince his sister-in-law that his Carson was not responsible for his wife's death. Everyone in town is concerned for Cody, including Becky, who promises to spend more time with him when he gets better, and Gowen.
