On Golden Pons

Emily Beck, eine ehemalige Patientin Dr. Shutts, wird mit einem neuen Hirntumor eingeliefert. Während Lisa Catera sofort operieren will, rät Shutt dringend ab. Keith Wilkes wird betrunken hinter dem Steuer seines Wagens erwischt. Dr. Watters steht vor dem privaten Ruin.

After a little too much holiday cheer Wilkes is charged with a DUI and must serve a community service in Dr. Hancock's clinic. Watters discovers that his accountant has left the country with Watters money. Shutt turns over a patient to Catera, and the two clash over whether she should perform a dangerous surgery on the patient. Dr. McNeil is elected to play Santa and is a huge hit in the childrens ward. Grad receives her Christmas present a little early.
