Caleb comes with unexpected "baggage". Janine's death marks a turning point for many in the family. Oliver, who has been the lost one in the family of late, knows that he has to be there for his father, and makes a decision concerning his new relationship with JD in light of all that is going on, including his continued financial issues. Maggie has to decide what to do about her fake marriage to Raza in light of the fact that she is in love with him while he doesn't return her affections in that way. Matthew is blindsided by a declaration by Nicole despite the resumption of their sexual relationship. Matthew also receives some news from Béatrice which adds an extra layer of complexity with regard to his two families. And Natalie learns that the ruptured intestine was probably the result of her body unable to tolerate the increased dosage of the trial drug. As such, she is removed from the trial indefinitely. Viewing this as a setback in her recovery, Natalie has to make some tough decisions regarding what she feels is best for herself, both with regard to her health and her family, especially Emma and Romy. Emma shows that she is growing up faster than she had previously demonstrated as witnessed by a decision she makes regarding work. And in light of Romy's decision that she wants to live with her father instead of Matthew if Natalie passes away, Natalie decides to give Romy some freedom to make an informed decision regarding all aspects of her life.
