Synopsis
Sully has stopped drinking, but his poor attitude remains; Carlos gives his 2-week notice; a blizzard blankets the city and the squads are called in early; an understaffed Doc defies orders and puts Carlos back on the street as the squads are kept busy rescuing victims of the storm; Faith's initial wariness about Emily's new boyfriend, Eric Beckman turns out to be well-founded after he is brought into Mercy after overdosing on Special K, but he doesn't remember where he left Emily after she also got high; Faith, Bosco, Sully, Ty, Doc and Carlos go out to search for Emily, and rush her to Mercy after she's found in critical condition; Faith and Fred each blame each other for letting Emily go out with Eric.

Quotes
- Carlos: How many of our brethren you think aren’t answering their phones?
- Davis: I’m gonna say most of them.
- Carlos: Wait a minute, why are we again?
- Davis: Because unlike them, we are responsible city employees who…are idiots and didn’t know there was a storm coming.
- Doc (while on the phone): All of the paramedics and fill-ins I got on my roster, not one them’s answering their phone.
- Kim (to herself): And yet I answered. What the hell is my problem?
- Yokas (to Emily): Any boy ever pressures you about coming up to this apartment, you let them know that your mom’s a cop and that she’s not gonna be too happy to find him here.
- Bosco: Eric Beckman, you dumbass.
- Yokas (to Eric Beckman about Emily) You better pray that she’s all right, because if she’s not I swear to God, I will kill you myself.
- Sully: You know, Faith, what does not kill us makes us stronger.
- Sully: Most snow falls at 15 degrees Fahrenheit or greater. The air holds more water vapor at higher temperatures.
- Bosco: Thank you, Al Roker.
