A drunk driver rams into a car, trapping a little girl inside, and the doctors are concerned the girl may have brain damage, which leads Dixie (before Dr. Brackett), into explaining her parents about that disability, as well as paralysis, if surgery is successful. Firefighter Chester B. "Chet" Kelly pesters John about his Native American Heritage. The paramedics have to rescue a man on a scaffold while a sniper is pinning them down. Other rescues include a boy getting his hand stuck in a gumball machine, a woman whose extremely tight girdle is causing breathing problems, and a fire caused by a workman mixing fuel into water lines.

Dixie finds out that several items from Rampart are missing, esp. Johnny's jacket, that he has fallen in love with a female sheriff, who helps catch a mugger with Roy. Dixie, Johnny and Roy were all responsible for Dr. Morton's cocky attitude, as Dr. Brackett has a conversation with him regarding this. The paramedics rescue an elderly man from his burning house, assist a grandfather who was injured by a model rocket, and rescue a boat thief trapped on a crane. Boot the dog returns to Station 51, but with the same negative attitude toward Gage.
