A recurring plotline in season 4 involves a serial rapist targeting elderly women; the rapist is eventually caught and dies at the hospital. S1E8: a subplot features a woman who was raped, involves her having a rape kit done to her distress. The woman is frightened throughout the episode, and by the end of the episode we find out that she was raped by 3 men instead of 1 as she said previously. Her description does not go into detail but may still be triggering. S2E8: a brother and a sister have sex which results in pregnancy.

When he is attacked by his brother-in-law for interacting with a young girl at the hospital, one of the main characters witnesses this and does not intervene, instead allowing him to be injured. At the end of the episode, the character reveals to a coworker that he was sexually abused as a child and found it difficult to be objective because the patient's behavior reminded him of his abuser. While he describes the abuse he went through, the man accused of sexual abuse is shown interacting with the girl again in much the same way as the character describes his abuser interacting with him, implying that the patient is indeed a pedophile.
