Just because there's some kind of annual festival going on doesn't mean that the jungle has given up looking for ways to kill people. Exhibit A is a young pregnant couple who crashed on a mountain road. As the expectant mom is rushed to the clinic for an emergency C-section, her husband is injured in a mudslide, but not so badly that he can't give Plastics some unsolicited life advice.
And as if a C-section on the patio isn't already bad enough, a partygoer manages to not only electrocute himself but knock out all the power in the village, including at the clinic. Also, the expectant father remains stranded out in the wilderness with Plastics, Clark, a broken leg and a bashed-in lung while the mother gives birth to a badly jaundiced baby and almost bleeds out herself. They both need Daddy's blood, but he didn't survive the night, forcing Plastics and Clark to drag his body back for a transfusion from his corpse. And then the new mom doesn't want the blood anyway. Of course this is all secondary to how Lily blames Ben for lying to the patient about her husband's condition, unable to pick up on the redolent waves of tragic backstory rolling visibly off of him.
As for the electrocution victim, Mina's so distracted by figuring out why he wasn't killed that she ignores his sob story about losing the love of his life. Too bad we can't. And then in the end Mina helps them get together anyway. Dammit, Mina!
Plastics manages to succeed where Lily failed and convinces the new mom to take dead dad's blood, so now everyone can go back to the party. Otis and Zee seem to be properly dating, Plastics uses his one word of Spanish to try not to flirt with a bartender, and Clark informs Lily that Ben lost his wife and kid. And, thanks to half a bottle of whiskey, consciousness. Oh, heal thyselves already, people.
