synopsis
Paula Slayton, the woman who saddled John (Randolph Mantooth) with a dog named Bonnie in Emergency!'s premiere episode, returns with another surprise for the guys at the station house (Patricia Hindy is cast as Paula, replacing the earlier episode's Pat McAnery). The on-duty assignment roster includes a catatonic patient who won't respond to standard treatment, thus baffling the medical staff. Also: a woman inhales poisonous fumes after mixing the wrong household cleansing chemicals; Roy (Kevin Tighe) has a tense confrontation with a woman who keeps calling the emergency line out of sheer loneliness; and an elderly couple is trapped in a tangle of tumbleweeds.
