Goren and Eames delve into the mysterious death of urban adventurer Eric Newsome, whose body is discovered in a water tower. Their inquiry reveals that Eric had been investigating the records of Dr. Everett Janns, an OB/GYN who previously treated Nikki's boyfriend Drew's mother during her pregnancy with Lisa. Born with spina bifida, Lisa Ramsey's case leads to a wrongful life lawsuit against her primary OB/GYN, Dr. Dominic McKenna.
