SAVED � �Who Do You Trust?�
Directed by Stephen Kay, Written by Barry Pullman
Life becomes difficult for Wyatt (Scott) and his partner John �Sack� Hallon (Omari Hardwick � Beauty Shop, Sucker Free City) after their new supervisor, Kroll (Curtis Caravaggio � Earthsea), decides to install black boxes in each of the ambulances, as a way to keep track of every move the paramedics make. And as Sack struggles to maintain two jobs � one as a bodyguard � in order to pay for his son�s expensive private school tuition, Wyatt desperately tries to save the life of Lexi, the young transplant patient in desperate need of a new liver.
Meanwhile at the hospital, Alice (Elizabeth Reaser � The Family Stone) tries to help an elderly woman suffering from dementia who repeatedly mistakes Wyatt for her dead husband. Paramedic Angela de la Cruz (Tracy Vilar � The Steve Harvey Show, ER) gets jealous after newbie EMT Harper Sims (Michael McMillian � What I Like About You, Firefly) is interviewed on the local news. But the televised interview reveals some surprising details about Harper�s feelings towards his partner and mentor.
