What Happens in Episode 8?

Watson and the medical fellows are taken hostage by a man with a bomb strapped to his chest who desperately seeks a cure for his 9-year-old daughter’s illness. The father, convinced that the clinic holds the only solution for his daughter Livvy’s mysterious condition, forces the team into an impossible situation.
