Dr. Harry Edwards is forced by the hospital's board of directors to appoint new arrival Dr. Red Buchanan as his successor for the Head of Bethlehem West's emergency department—despite Harry having promised the job to his Deputy Director, Dr. Julia McAlpine. Wayne makes a failed pass at Julia, describing to her the dreams he has had about the two of them together.
