Jackson shoots off his mouth about Alana before he realizes she's behind one of the surgical masks. It's nothing she hasn't heard before at all of the other hospitals she's saved. Owen stops Alana from leaving the surgery once their patient is out of the woods. He wants her to see it all the way through to experience the sheer joy felt when others find out that she saved someone's life. It's a nice moment when she meets the patient's grateful family. Owen can't help but smile. Alana, too.
With only one day left before the ER doors are closed for good, Derek and April pull an all-nighter to find ways to cut costs. They present their pitch to all the department heads. April's initial attempt to get everyone onboard goes south fast. Derek steps in to present the more human side of the pitch. He also has to give up his plum parking space. The cuts are a go, but Alana says it still won't save the ER. The reason she's shutting the doors is to make the hospital more attractive to a prospective buyer.
