Maya checks on what the team members are doing. Pruitt suggests that she lose the clipboard, but she says it's their itinerary and they're 20 minutes behind schedule. He reminds her it's supposed to be fun. She says it's not fun that the people who used to be her friends now hate her. Pruitt says they don't hate her because she's their boss, but because she won't put down the clipboard. Maya then blows her whistle and says she's collecting matches and lighters, so they can start a fire using good old fashioned teamwork.
Lane finds Maya trying to sleep in and says winners don't sleep in. When she doesn't get up, he pours a pitcher of water over her head to draw her out of bed.
Sullivan offers to help Ben inventory his supplies. Sullivan sees on the log that Ben has fentanyl. As they goes over the supplies, Ben starts to say how it's not just the miscarriage.

He doesn't want to talk to Bailey about it, but he feels like he's been robbed. Ben checks the fentanyl. As Sullivan goes to put it to the side, he quickly takes out two vials first. Sullivan asks if he's considered adoption and he says he's not sure.
The team laughs around the fire while Maya watches from a distance, alone.

Jackson and Vic make out in her tent.
Eva climbs into Jack's tent. He tries to send her out, but she says her husband's dead to the world. They start to kiss, then hear some yelling. Jack tries to leave, but Eva stops him.
The team comes out and hears a woman calling for help. They take off through the woods toward the sound. They find Rachel and Scott, the couple they met before, who have been attacked by a bear.
The team starts to tend to Rachel and Scott while Rigo puts out a small fire they started nearby. Rachel has a severed artery in her arm while Scott's entire nose was ripped off by the bear. Andy calls for help. Jackson says if they can find Scott's nose, he can reattach it. The search for the nose begins.
Sullivan, now high on fentanyl, tells Ben he was in the military and speaks six languages, though he initially forgets English. Ben starts to get suspicious, but Sullivan says he's just tired. Ben hears a call come in for Longfellow National Park and goes to head out.

Maya and Andy hunt for the nose. Andy suggests going to a water park for the next bonding trip.
Maya's race starts. As they run, Hima falls and Maya stops to check on her before finishing the race in second place, angering her father. She says she thought her friend was hurt and he says out there, no one is her friend, only her competition. Maya says she finished second, but that doesn't appease him.
The hunt for the nose continues. Eva thinks Rigo knows, but Jack doesn't want to talk about it. Suddenly, they spot a baby bear in the path. A few seconds later, they see the Mama bear.
They all stand very still as they watch the bear. They talk about what they're supposed to do. They can't run, because she'll chase them. Playing dead won't work either. Andy tells them to make themselves look as big as possible. The mama bear turns around and walks back into the woods.
They carry Rachel and Scott down toward the parking lot. They start to hear the sirens. Jackson gives report on Scott to Ben as they load him. Then they report on Rachel.
Travis finds the others, who are still started from the bear. Eva then spots some blood and they find Scott's nose in the grass. Maya puts it in the bag of saline and runs to catch the ambulance before it leaves.
Maya asks her dad to pass the potatoes and he passes them to her mother instead. She tries to give them to Maya, but he takes them back. Maya tries to say something, but Lane just asks Mason about himself. He says he got third place in a mile run and a piece in the school art show. His dad says if he quit art, he could get first place instead.
Maya gets to the parking lot, but the ambulance is gone. She yells back to the team to come so they can leave.
Lane continues to insult Mason. Maya tells him she'll go to his art show and grabs for the potatoes herself, but Lane takes them from her and throws the dish at the wall, breaking it. Lane says he can't even hear losers. It's like they're dead to him.
Pruitt apologizes to Andy for calling her a slut. He says he's been trying to talk to her for days, but she wouldn't let him. He says he was out of line and none of what she was doing was his business. He hurt you and he was wrong. She thanks him for apologizing. Andy asks if there was something else he wanted to talk to her about. He says he knows she misses Ryan. Andy says it's more than that. She feels like part of her is missing. She feels angry at the entire world and she's sorry if she's been taking it out on him.
Back at 19, Sullivan is sleeping at his desk when Ben comes in. Ben tells him the team's okay and the victims are being treated at Grey Sloan. Ben checks in with Sullivan, asking about his stress. Sullivan says he appreciates his concern.
Dean comes home to find JJ eating cheetos on the couch. She's surprised to see him home earlier than she expected. He tells her why and she offers him cheese puffs just as he tells her he wants to get married. He starts to explain, but she says no, not ever. She says she's there so the baby can know their dad and that's all she can commit to so far. He starts to say more, but then agrees to sit on the couch with her and eat cheese puffs.
Travis and Pruitt make s'mores on the roof. Travis asks if he needs to talk about something and Pruitt admits that he's dying, which shocks Travis. He can't face it and he can't tell Andy about it. Every time he tries, it breaks him. Travis tells Pruitt to tell him again. Pruitt says it again. And again. And again. He and Travis both start to cry.
Andy and Jack are sharing a drink at the bar when Maya comes in and goes to sit at the bar. Jack thinks it's killing Maya for them to be friends again, but Andy says they were never not friends. Jack confesses that he's been sleeping with Eva. Andy calls him out for breaking the firefighter code. She once knew a firefighter as a child who got transferred for breaking the code. She doesn't want that to happen to Jack. He says he keeps trying to stop and can't. Andy kind of understands. She keeps trying to feel something other than angry and she can't. Jack says they could solve both their problems. Make her feel something different and help him not get cast out. She says they should do that and they get up from the table.
Maya wins another race. Her father hugs her. Hima tries to congratulate her, but Maya ignores Hima's attempt at a high five.
Carina sits next to Maya and orders a drink. She recognizes Maya from dropping off the nose. They introduce themselves and Carina asks to hear the story in exchange for buying her a drink. Maya says she's drinking alone tonight. Carina asks if she's sure. Maya thinks maybe she's not.

Rachel and Scott Burke[]
While out camping in the woods, the team heard calls for help. They ran to find Rachel and Scott Burke, who had been attacked by a bear. Rachel had a severed artery in her arm and was bleeding profusely, while Scott's face was mangled and his nose was ripped completely off. Unable to find the nose, they quickly packed his face and put a tourniquet on Rachel's arm, then improvised stretchers to carry them to the parking lot where Ben met them in the ambulance and took them to the hospital. When the nose was later located, they put it in a bag of saline and brought it to the hospital.
