After much fuss, Roger convinces the other partners they should buy a patient list from Dr. Daniel Dalsky, who's about to retire. Roger pays a great deal for the list but figures it'll be lucrative anyway as there are lots of celebrities on the list. Sarah examines her patient, Rosalind, who's finally pregnant after trying for seven years. Sarah discovers Rosalind has a serious infection that needs surgery but this may jeopardize the baby's life. Evan is called to the home of Robert and Carol Edwards to check on their daughter, Tiana. Tiana, a former wild rebel, almost died in an accident some time back and has since become a strict religious. Now she's sick but she believes that only God can save her and gets Evan to promise not to take her to the hospital. Roger celebrates the new patient list at a fancy restaurant with his date Alyssa, Tim and Julie, Evan, and Sarah and her unsympathetic husband Steven. An awkward situation arises as Kelly comes into the same restaurant with a date.

Evan is stunned when he accidentally sees Steven kissing another woman. He wonders if he should tell Sarah but Roger doesn't think it's a good idea. Sarah's patient, Phoebe Mosely, is frustrated: she hasn't had sex with her husband in months. Things just haven't been the same since they got married. Meanwhile, Evan treats Phoebe's husband, Pete, who reveals he has problems getting a proper erection. Evan gives him Viagra. Patrick is frustrated to find Suzanne, Nina and Felicity drooling over a bunch of fireman that come to consult Tim. Their fellow fireman, Bob Wyczenzki, snores so terribly that none of them are able to sleep. Roger is concerned when he discovers big bruises on his patient, Sandy Rowlands. He fears she's being beaten by her husband, Ron, and goes by their house to confront Ron. But it turns out Roger was wrong: Ron didn't give Sandy those bruises - it was their autistic teenage son Denny. Evan doesn't tell Sarah anything about Steven. However, Sarah is worried none the

Tim suddenly starts shaking while examining a patient and can hardly hold on to his balance. Suzanne and Evan are worried about him but Tim just brushes it off. Roger is surprised when he bumps into and old acquaintance at the hospital; Eleanor Riggs, who is an old college girlfriend that he once loved passionately. Roger is excited about seeing her again but then he finds out from Eleanor's former doctor that she suffers from a terminal, inoperable tumor. Trying to compensate as he's probably losing the twin girls, Tim goes to donate his bone marrow to a very sick young boy. However, the kid's doctor, Dr. Grant, refuses to let him go through with it because Tim's blood pressure is way too high. Roger confronts Eleanor about not telling him of her illness. He insists on trying to help her but Eleanor has come to terms with the fact the's going to die and just wants to spend time with Roger instead. Meanwhile, Tom Arnold drops by the clinic and Felicity scares him with her depressing Y2

Sarah's patient Patricia Kingsley is close to dying from cancer when Sarah discovers she has a husband, Hugo. Sarah locates Hugo to convince him to be at his wife's deathbed and soon discovers why he has stayed away; Hugo is horribly disfigured (looking a lot like the Elephant Man). Roger is happily surprised when Eleanor unexpectedly reappears. She is getting sicker, though, and Tom Florin says she needs to have the tumor removed right away. To Roger's great relief, Eleanor agrees to the operation; she wants to live so she can be with him. Evan finds Patrick's behavior towards a patient, opera singer Francesca Lucchesi, inappropriate. Francesca has problems with her voice, and Patrick (who seems to have a crush on her) suggests to Evan that she may have tuberculosis like the character she is to play in the LA Opera. Evan gets her to take a test to find out, and Francesca worries. Everyone looks strangely at Hugo but he gets to be with his wife as she dies. Afterwards, he collapses due

Roger is arrested for battery after he amputated Kevin Raives' leg (ep #15). Kevin's father sues Roger for all he's got. Ronny Wilcox, one of Evan's old patients, is dying from ALS. He wants to die with dignity and asks Evan to get him in contact with someone who can help him commit suicide. Evan is very reluctant but after Ronny nearly shoots himself, Evan takes the gun and agrees to help. Dr. Doug Carter, who performed the amputation on Kevin, testifies against Roger - saying the situation was not life threatening and the amputation wasn't necessary. The case looks dark and Roger is too concerned to share Eleanor's enthusiasm with the baby. Meanwhile, Sarah and the other try to help with the practice as best as possible. Roger feels guilty that Evan and Tim may also lose all thanks to his mistake with Kevin. Evan gets hold of a doctor called Howard to assist Ronny with his suicide. Roger's attorney does his best to prove that the only reason Kevin is suing is because his greedy fathe

Evan is developing strong feelings for Sarah. But then Sarah suddenly meets Phillip Gant, an old friend, and his patient Dennis Rodman. Sarah is thrilled to see Phillip again; Evan on the other hand is jealous. Roger drives Eleanor to her ultrasound when another car drives by them. Roger is annoyed and starts competing until the other car pulls up right in front of him. Eleanor hits her head quite hard and then Dave, the angry, muscular man from the other car, assaults their car. However, Dave suddenly falls to the ground in pain. Tim is approached by Carol Weller about her grown up daughter Stephanie - a long term patient of Tim's. Stephanie is retarded but she and her new boyfriend Mark (also retarded) desperately want a baby. Carol knows they can't take care of baby and fears she'll be stuck with it. Frustrated, she considers going to Mexico to get Stephanie sterilized. Roger is very concerned as Eleanor suffers from headaches after hitting her head. He forces her to take an MRI to
