Dr. Paul Lochner faces one of the most difficult assignments of his career when he must tell his daughter Jennifer that she has a serious arterial condition that may require surgery and possibly delay her planned wedding. Co-star James Daly's daughter Tyne Daly is the guest star.

Fans see another side of hero Doc Gannon in this episode when he puts up a runaway kid in his apartment. Gannon displays sympathy listening to the youngster's complaints, while hunting for an answer to the blackouts suffered by the kid.

Dr. Gannon has a dilemma seldom experienced on "Medical Center." A girl's blindness is brought to his attention after she had been in a motorcycle accident. While treating her injuries he becomes more and more interested in her blindness, which he diagnoses as stemming from a mental rather than physical cause. He can cure her, but he must bring back the shattering event that caused the blindness, and the girl's parents are fearful of the results.
