A family complains that Dr. Sheridan gave them false hopes, while Howard awaits the results of his ex-wife's pregnancy test.

Howard is being sued for malpractice, but is doubtful about calling Sheridan as a character witness when she refuses to shade the truth a little, and Nurse Thor's nephew is hired as a med tech.

Howard moves his Saturday-night poker game into the ER, and Ace asks out his daughter Jenny.

Sheridan loses her life savings because of investment advice from Howard, Maria's boyfriend Fred asks Julie out on a date, and drug thieves strike fear into the staff.
