| "The Goodbye Plan" |
| It's near Christmas in Wandin
Valley. Lucy and Matt are barely being civil to
one another. It's Darcy's first day at the
clinic. Grace Mullens is admitted to the hospital
-- she has an enlarged heart and is awaiting a
heart transplant. Dylan, a young leukemia victim,
is also admitted. He has a major attitude problem
and a plant called Igor. He's waiting for a bone
marrow donor and doesn't believe they'll find
someone in time. Grace asks to be put in the same
room with him so that she can talk to him. They
get friendly just before Grace passes away. Darcy rearranges the clinic
reception area and tries to offer homeopathic
remedies to the clinic patients, angering
Terence. Matt is struck in the head by a bull he
was treating for a gash in it's stomach and is
knocked out. Frank is thinking of buying a villa
in Italy and retiring there -- Shirl is not
pleased. Matt and Lucy make up while he
recuperates in the hospital. Dylan doesn't take
Grace's death well. Thinking of her own fight
with leukemia, Kate promises him she'll move
heaven and earth to find him a bone marrow donor.
Mr. O'Day comes into the clinic and Darcy has to
cut him out of his Santa suit and treat his
hyperventilating...Terence is impressed.
Trevor Jackson
confronts Darcy in the park as she's pulling
weeds up. He convinces her to join a volunteer
brigade to help clean up the park. Kate goes on
Burrigan Radio to plead for blood donors for the
bone marrow registry. A reporter from the
Burrigan Examiner comes to cover the blood drive
and wants a picture of Kate donating blood -- she
tells him, in confidence, about her leukemia in
order to explain why she can't and he breaks his
promise by publishing the whole story in the
paper. Harry is upset that Kate thinks he
couldn't handle her illness and no longer thinks
they can be friends. Kate takes that as proof
that he couldn't handle things. The city papers
pick up the bone marrow donor story.
The hospital staff
fool Matt and Esme with a fake patient, Mr. Nick
Claus, who suffers some many Christmas-related
afflictions. Hidden under his covers is the
hospital Christmas pudding, hooked up to several
brandy drips. Shirl refuses to go to Italy until
she takes Alfred Muldoon down...Frank isn't too
upset because he wouldn't want to leave Fatso
behind. Terence gives Lucy wonderful news and she
leaves the hospital squealing...she tells Matt
that they are finally pregnant.
