Jerry's teenage son, Sammie, comes to the hospital to ask some tough questions. Ella's mother, Vivi, is having surgery, and this affects Ella more than she expected. During the New Year's Eve party, Ella finally officially tells her coworkers about her pregnancy. Given Ella's baby bump, this comes as no surprise to anyone. It turns out Trui has been taking bets on who the father is. Meanwhile, Frederik receives some particularly bad news.

Milad is leaving the team. On his last day at work, he has to perform a difficult surgery on his colleague Aamina and deal with the aggression of an expectant father. Meanwhile, Willem gets to perform Ella's 20-week ultrasound, and department manager Michael gives his pregnant girlfriend Monica a tour, during which the stairs get just as much attention as the "placenta bin." Ella and Jerry declare their love for each other wholeheartedly.

Jacob confides his fears to Trui. Tina runs into an old school crush in the delivery room: Emmanuel. Emmanuel flirts during the delivery, creating a particularly awkward situation. Jerry's father tries to make him understand that by wanting to continue his relationship with Ella, he's not only destroying himself but also his family. Anne is in charge of scheduling, but when the computer system crashes, no one is scheduled to take over the next shift.
