Not only is she surprised to learn that Ozzy was the lone survivor of the helicopter crash, but that he knew her husband better than just about anyone, including her. When Ozzy collapses, he is rushed to Ruthorford's clinic. After an exam, the doctor decides Ozzy would be a great candidate for an experimental operation.

If those secrets begin resurrecting themselves, the results could change lives, and possibly Ruthorford, forever. Suddenly, Sandra and Ozzy find they need one another.
