Annie's boss tells her she has to drop her plans and cover a shift, so Annie tells her to drop dead -- and she does.

A high-ranking member of the Klu Klux Klan check into the hospital with a medical condition, then collapses in the hallway, leaving Annie to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on him. Another patient is a sexist construction worker who sat on a nail gun – so the female staff finds a way to get even with his snide remarks. Greg is smitten with a lady patient he's seeing… until her husband shows up.

Chaos breaks out in the hospital during a hurricane – the kitchen's flooded, the phones are out, and the roads are closed. So when Rose Nyland shows up to help, she's immediately stuck with Julie and the duo are assigned to gathering food from the patients – food that they later give to Laverne for the pediatrics ward. When the news arrives that the roof collapses in a burning building, Annie fears that her husband, a fireman, may have been killed. Sandy runs into a man with a broken leg, whom she dumped.

Annie nearly died in a car accident, so she decides if anything ever happens to her and Fred, she's leaving the kids to Sandy.

Greg announces that he has the ability to shapeshift.

Julie's first lover, Peter, checks into 3 West, and the two immediately start catching up on old times, with Peter revealing all the women he's slept with. But when Dr. Risken arrives to break the news that Peter's indiscriminate bed-hopping has left him a brief time to live with AIDS, he's enraged and Julie's freaked out. Julie, deathly afraid of catching AIDS, first avoids him but later lets him know that he won't have be alone when he dies. Meanwhile, Annie's mother-in-law moves in with her.

A mentally unstable patient (Larry Linville) is told that he has to cut sulfites out of his diet, so he responds by taking the staff hostage at gunpoint... Which doesn't sit well with Sandy, who was supposed to be off on a big date.

Hank gets testy with everyone when he discovers a lump in his scrotum... and then accidentally announces his news over the P.A. Dr. Riskin takes Julie's advice and stands up to the medical director, who then quits leaving her to fill his position.

Sandy's mother arrives for a visit and immediately starts to complain; Gina is upset to learn Hank is dating other women.

Paco becomes indebted to a mob boss; Gina tries to make Hank jealous by dating another man, unaware that he is gay.

When a patient is killed by an ambulance, Annie begins to question her faith in God.

A former child star, Chet ""Poofie"" McGuire (Stephen Furst), comes to the hospital to research his new role for the sitcom ""Poofie McGuire, Nurse for Hire.""
