George must heal his demanding mother's cat—or take its place as her constant companion. Meanwhile, Dorothy helps Dr. Leiter prepare for a meeting with the hospital's board of directors.

George treats a cockatoo with a possibly fatal habit of eating chocolate, while Doug tries to woo the bird's eccentric owner's socialite granddaughter. Elsewhere, Yamamoto gets the wrong idea when he's the only person to show up for Dorothy's movie night; and the interruption of Angela and Dr. Rizzo's favorite TV show prompts a call to the cable guy, with whom Angela is immediately smitten.
