Every Day a Little Death

Ein 14-Jähriger erliegt auf dem OP-Tisch Dr. Shutts seinen schweren Schussverletzungen. Sein Herz könnte den 17-jährigen todkranken Mike retten. Doch der junge Neonazi will lieber sterben, als sich das neue Herz einsetzen zu lassen. Denn der Spender war schwarz.

Billy arrives home just in time to save his dog Gordie from the fire that's engulfed his apartment, and ends up rooming with a reluctant Danny until he can find a new place to live; when a teething Alicia keeps her father up at nights, an exhausted Alan is thrilled when Diane offers to help out; when a racist teenager on the transplant list refuses the heart of a murdered black teenager, the hospital offers it to another candidate, but the boy's mother sues to have the heart transplanted into her son; Alan decides to get back into the social swing by asking Diane out on a date; Kate's inattention to pre-op labs results in the post-op death of the transplant patient; Danny overcomes his dislike of Gordie long enough to notice that he's critically ill, and by acting quickly, saves the dog's life.
