Emergency!

Capt. Stanley is worried his Chief's exam will be sabotaged by the current Chief, who has a past beef with Stanley. A soap opera doctor has real mono and causes drama both on-set with John and Roy, and at Rampart with Dixie and Dr. Early. Also, Dr. Brackett observes from Dixie that the producer is filming a hospital room with an ill patient, Brackett confronts with producer, before he seriously asks everyone to leave. John and Roy are stuck in an elevator with a retired doctor who has a self-diagnosed (and correct, as it turned out) aortic aneurysm.

Capt. Stanley is in a foul mood and thinks he has arthritis, it takes Roy to talk to Dr. Brackett for information on his captain's arthritis. Roy and John help a man whose fingers are caught in a garage door opener, then a woman who passes out from inhaling contents from an aerosol can and has an auto accident. Dixie, Drs. Brackett and Early treat a woman, who underwent botched plastic surgery. John tests a new type of rope, which fails, and assist victims of a two-alarm fire at an oil refinery.

John gets jealous when Brice is on the news, then their "favorite paramedic" leads another paramedic meeting in his own parliamentary way. Later, their Squad has to rescue Brice from a fire. The firefighters rescue a man's daughter from under a backhoe–then the father goes into cardiac arrest. Drs. Brackett and Morton treat a boy who accidentally shot himself with a BB gun and required a tracheotomy.

Johnny tries to create his own TV game show. The firemen (in the field) assist an elderly musician experiencing heart trouble, Dixie explains to Lt. Crockett about the patient's diagnosis (in the hospital). Then, an auto accident with three injuries caused by running a stop sign, and a tightrope walker gets stuck between two buildings.
