Love and Hope

Godfrey Nabbott hat sich mittels einer Droge zu einer Dauer-Erektion verholfen. Das Selbstexperiment bringt ihn ins Chicago Hope. Dort bricht er mit einem Herzinfarkt zusammen. Dr. Geier muss handeln. Die OP gelingt. Doch Godfreys Probleme damit fangen erst richtig an.

The staff has its hands full when a man suffering from the after-effects of taking amyl nitrite suffers one complication after another, thereby necessitating multiple surgeries, and Alan takes one for the team right on the nose when he strains credulity in attempting to put the patient's situation in the best possible light; Geri and Jeffrey make peace; Camille contemplates having some plastic surgery after Aaron suffers from performance anxiety on their first post-reconciliation date; Jeffrey agrees to help Laurie put on the Institute's Christmas concert, but the preparations for the event begin to overwhelm her and put additional strain on her already fragile state; Danny and Maggie can't keep their hands off each other; Jeffrey confesses his despair about Laurie's condition and its effect on his life to Camille.
