SAVED � �Fog�

Directed by Darnell Martin, Written by Ann Hamilton

Wyatt Cole (Scott) attempts to teach his paramedic partner John �Sack� Hallon (Omari Hardwick � Beauty Shop, Sucker Free City) how to play poker. But his teaching skills fall to deaf ears, and Sack loses a big bet, forcing the two to transport a demanding young liver transplant patient named Lexi to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Angela de la Cruz (Tracy Vilar � The Steve Harvey Show, ER) is excited about going on a cruise, but her plans are thwarted unexpectedly. Only later does her fellow paramedic, newbie EMT Harper Sims (Michael McMillian � What I Like About You, Firefly), discover the real reason, as well as an important aspect of Angela�s personal life.

A treacherous fog descends on Portland, and Wyatt and Sack are called to a pile-up on the highway, where they rescue a young girl and her mother. The girl is a beauty-pageant contestant, and her mother is primarily concerned over whether her daughter�s injuries will leave scars. The EMTs are also called to assist a crane operator who is experiencing chest pains while stuck in his crane, and Wyatt and Sack must risk their lives to climb up to save him.

Angela and Harper receive several calls to help out a homeless man named �Smelly Bill,� who is normally outside of their response territory. Angela suspects that a rival EMT, Kroll, is putting Bill in her territory, so she hatches a perfect plan for revenge.

Sack�s son continues to have problems in school, prompting Wyatt to secretly arrange for the boy to have an interview with Wyatt�s mother, Dr. Victoria Cole (Lisa Banes � Boston Legal, The Unit), a psychologist. Her examination of the boy, however, reveals that his problems have nothing to do with any kind of learning disability.

Back at the emergency room at Good Samaritan Hospital, Wyatt�s ex-girlfriend Dr. Alice Alden (Elizabeth Reaser � The Family Stone) treats transplant patient Lexi, who insists on prying into her personal life and her relationship with Wyatt, leading Alice to come to terms with her feelings and decide where her heart lies.
