The Endicotts learn that their medical problems aren't confined to their matriarch (Dorothy McGuire); Caldwell's preparation to eliminate his fatal mark reveals him to be a marked man; Fiscus and Morrison play a romantic round of musical chairs with Mona and Clancy (Leah Ayres, Helen Hunt). 

Here's an episode in which everyone seems to be beating their heads against a brick wall. Nurse Rosenthal can't get her message across that a patient ready for release will probably commit suicide; Dr. Craig and his wife are at odds because of a death in the family; and Dr. Westphall can't convince the trustees to implement new community services. Another well-written slice of life about the personnel of a big city hospital.

The Craigs drift apart while awaiting a relative's emotional funeral, Rosenthal learns of a patient's death wish; Caldwell seeks companionship; Luther helps Axelrod lose weight
