Dana Wynter appears as a witch doctor of sorts in a spooky episode. Chad Everett is involved because of a young student who has left the hospital (the fourth such girl to do so), even though she needs treatment for Addison's disease. Dick Kallman, who used to be Hank on the short-lived TV series, plays a superstitious doctor, the kind who doesn't want to operate on Friday the 13th.

Suspicious Barry Sullivan flares up over his wife's appointments with Gannon while Joe, of course, remains Simon pure, merely keeping his patient's illness from her husband at her request.

As it must to all TV heroes, blindness comes to Dr. Gannon on Medical Center. He's been in a car wreck, caused by bad brakes which, we soon learn, had been tampered with. It's not a good time for him, what with that young lady who needs heart surgery only he can perform. Frank Converse is the man who is trying to kill Gannon (and his motivation, when we finally learn it, is weak) and George Chakiris is a surgeon who may have to take over and operate in Gannon's greens — if he can learn the technique.
