This series does its best with good guest performers, and in this episode, it's Sharon Farrell's turn to spark the hour. She plays a teaching assistant who wants sterilization, which requires a bit of digging into her background by our own Doc Gannon.

The series opens its second season with a drama about a doctor who has symptons of multiple sclerosis.
