Because John keeps losing at cards and being stuck with doing the dishes at the station, he creates his own card game.

Roy talks down a boy in a plane after the pilot (his father) has a heart attack. The paramedics respond to an attempted suicide, an overturned truck and a teenage overdose victim. Drs. Brackett, Early and Morton, even Dixie, all take care of a husband who is suffering from a severe hemorrhage
