Carter is back, but for now frustrated, being restricted from anything involving pills, needles or surgery, but takes care of brilliant orphan cutie Dennis. A Sci-fi convention attracts weirdos, including an idiot who tried to self-inflict Spock-ears. Romano revenged a hefty fine on Bentyon by scrapping his resident post. A mass accident makes under-staffing tragically acute, yet Weaver objects to uninsured emergency help as from Abby, who is offered a permanent position but hesitates, and to ex-cop Frank checking on patients possibly wanted by the police. Nobody believes a patient claiming spontaneous combustion in the family.
