John Hemming asks Syd to look at former patient of his who wants to be a ballerina. Rebecca wants Syd to clear her for the Providence Ballet. Jim hires someone to train Fearless, later wishing he hadn't done it. Rebecca's problem could be more serious. Joanie finds out Burt has a problem.

Syd learns that John may be in love with Rebecca, she made it up to get Syd off her back.

Syd initially believes her troubled teenaged paper boy when he is seriously shot and hospitalized but he tells her that the wound is self-inflicted -- even though his older brother's behavior indicates otherwise -- and she's unaware that one of them has hidden a gun in a box of toys at the Hansens. Elsewhere, a fed-up Joanie hires an industrious clutter cleaner who systematically relieves the Hansens of their useless but memorable bric-a-brac and organizes a yard sale while Robbie meets an infomercial wizard and is inspired to create something that everyone needs.
