Season 2 focused heavily on the personal and professional chaos surrounding the SkyMed crew. Chopper was injured in a bizarre accident and had to give up his shot at becoming an astronaut. Hayley quietly battled a painkiller addiction that eventually cost her both her relationship with Wheezer and Crystal’s trust.

Lexi was traumatized by an in-flight encounter with a stranger and briefly left her post. Bodie reunited with his estranged father, Kingsley, and agreed to donate a kidney. Tristan and Nowak’s relationship fell apart after a confession of infidelity. Meanwhile, an investigation into a mother’s death during a medevac call left Hayley rattled but ultimately cleared.

The finale ended with the crew gathered around a bonfire, with Wheezer announcing that the base was safe from shutdown. That’s exactly where season 3 will pick things up.

SkyMed season 2 opens with Chopper severely injured after an accident involving an electric pole. He was supposed to attend a selection camp for the Canadian space program, but the injuries forced him to abandon that goal. Unable to fly, he was grounded until a flight emergency led Wheezer to call him back.

Lexi began the season focused on her career as a pilot and grew close to Stef, a new nurse on the team. Their bond grew stronger after a crash landing left them stranded in the woods with Bodie and Tristan. Later, Lexi quit her solo captain job after a man forced himself into her plane mid-flight.

Hayley, recovering from shoulder surgery, secretly started using painkillers. She hid her addiction until Wheezer noticed something was wrong and informed Crystal. That led to a fallout between the three. Hayley and Wheezer ended their relationship after she felt betrayed by how the situation was handled. Meanwhile, Nowak and Tristan’s relationship also broke down.

Tristan told Nowak that Reese kissed him without knowing he was taken. Nowak’s insecurity spiraled and led him to sleep with another man. He admitted the truth, and Tristan ended things. Later, Nowak was injured during a rescue and considered taking a job offer from a commercial airline.

Crystal struggled to balance med school and her responsibilities at SkyMed. She worked closely with Dr. Yana, who mentored her but discouraged her from including Indigenous knowledge in her research. Crystal eventually chose to credit her ancestors in her paper, and Yana supported the decision.

Bodie discovered that the kidney donor request was not from his mother but his biological father, Kingsley. At first, Bodie thought Kingsley was only using him but later softened after seeing how much Kingsley helped him and Madison with their child. Bodie agreed to the transplant.

An investigation was launched after a fatal incident where Hayley had to decide between saving a mother or her child. She chose the daughter, and the mother died. Hayley believed the inquiry was about her medical decisions while on painkillers, but the actual purpose was to assess staffing shortages.

Lexi confronted Wheezer about her fear during her in-flight scare. Wheezer responded by adding a new distress code named after Lexi’s father. The season ended with the crew gathered around a bonfire. Wheezer announced that the base would stay open. Crystal and Hayley watched the northern lights together and talked about honoring those they lost.


SkyMed season 3 will drop on May 15, 2025, on Paramount+.
