Roy and John complain about the rule that forbids squads from crossing each other's territories. This had delayed their arrival on the scene where a heart patient had almost reached the point of death while the squad assigned to that area dealt with a hypochondriac, after John was speaking to Dr. Brackett about this. Later, they respond to a traffic accident while transporting a non-emergency patient due to the responding Squad being 20 minutes away. An elderly woman demands an "older doctor" to see her; later, when Dr. Brackett visits, while Dixie is around, who asks that she needs to lay back quietly and rest, her daughter has a heart attack. An escaped prisoner gets trapped on a ledge.

When Roy is unable to decide where to go on vacation, Dixie finds the perfect vacation made especially for his family (The vacation itself has disastrous results for the DeSotos). During a fire at a singles club, Roy becomes dizzy going in to find someone who may have been inside, but was outside with his date. A self-defense instructor is injured by one of his elderly students, a man who developed sudden abdominal pains after proposing to his girlfriend is brought into Rampart, of whom Dixie, Drs. Early and Morton are all taking care. The firefighters rescue two hang glider pilots from the face of a cliff.
