Despite a freakishly heavy snowstorm making travel for many near-impossible, Roy's father - who he hasn't seen for 6 years - turns up. And then so does his mother. And the woman his father's spent the time living with...

The arrival of a particularly ill new patient prompts Roy and Brian to be moved. They find themselves occupying a room with Norman Tucker, and soon have him implicated in an international espionage investigation.

Roy's mother invites a friend to the hospital, in an attempt to fix up Roy with a girl closer to his own age. But with her affair, she's not the best person to make such judgements - and indeed ends up being arrested for solicitation!
