Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Roy (Kevin Tighe) tries to arrange a date between wife's cousin and his coworker John (Randolph Mantooth)--and one can only imagine how happy John is over this situation. Squad 51's caseload in this episode includes saving a youngster whose arm is caught in a swimming-pool drainpipe, a woman who suffers an epileptic fit after barely averting a car accident, and a young man who has been shot by his own father-in-law. Also: a case of tetanus poisoning, and an overweight man whose pacemaker fails at a crucial moment. Featured in the cast is a very young, pre-Little House on the Prairie Melissa Gilbert, and former child actress Patricia McCormack (The Bad Seed).
