During the rescue of a man whose car is hanging over a bridge, a new doctor, Dr. Varner's, erratic instructions and behavior concern Dixie. Dr. Varner later catches an atrial myxoma that Drs. Early and Brackett miss, but she is then found asleep in her car. Dixie finds out the reason for her behavior, and she begs Dr. Varner to talk to Dr. Brackett about it, but she chooses not to. The firemen assist a man who fell off a roof trying to get his dog down (then they rescue the dog), and they find two children lost in a rapidly flooding storm drain.
