Catalog log
Broadcast listing — not a TV Flash recap.
A young female reporter arrives at Squad 51, to cover the rescues and severely hates the prejudice situation around her that Johnny, most of the firefighters and other male doctors would recognize about chauvinism. This is where Dixie recognizes most of the rude personality from Johnny, from the reporter. The journalist also observes the team save a trapped man under stuck under live power lines, a man trapped in a sofa-bed, another man whose arm is stuck in a garbage disposal, and another man trapped in a bombed building, from which Roy has to rescue an injured Johnny before the building explodes. The doctors treat a boy poisoned by wild hemlock and a girl addicted to drugs. After a nurse fails to follow Dr. Brackett's instructions, he vehemently fires her, who brought that up to Dixie, hearing from him about mistakes that kill people, which leads her into calming Dr. Brackett down.
