Owen warns her not to take too much notice of arrogant college professor Dr. Bill Augustine and cheers her up with a romantic surprise, then a big one.

- Robbie takes Pete along to meet his now destitute 80's idol band, Wings of Lead. Since their manager just took off with their van, he buys one 'as a family car' and becomes their manager/roadie. This is cool in Pete's eyes as reporting on it counts as a school report and he digs a groupie's tween daughter (however dodgy in Tina's eyes). Seeing fan-mechanic Violet likes her Robbie too much Tina takes Pete home, leaving Robbie with the band, until she decides whether to tell him her big secret. Jim is finally back in charge, but decides to ask his temp to be his partner and expand into a larger veterinary clinic, only Dr. Sam gets his fellowship unexpectedly early and bails out - project buried.

Owen Frank assures her the malpractice charge should go easy if she keeps her mouth shut.
- Robbie's wedding preparations prove pure torture, especially if Tina's dad and twin mates the cops have their wicked prankster way, which only appeals to dad's reduced mental abilities, making him a worthless best man, her ma is pathologically vain. Syd ignores a hint to buy Robbie a microwave and gets nearly scolded when she pretends to know 'obviously' what her 'kid brother' -the offensive phrase- wants, her alternative crystal punch bowl breaks in the commotion. After the idiotic in-laws' coarseness chases him from his own bachelor party, getting blamed for dad joining in their stripper fun by his haughtily (but badly) 'advising' sisters gets too much even for gentle Robbie.

This is answered with a lock-out barricade; poor groom Robbie is caught in the middle and squirms heroically both ways till he can come to the kid's rescue. Jim is miserable now that Fearless is afraid of him, and his surgery role may be reduced to fur-grooming, although his relevant memory starts returning. Syd is finally frolicking with Joe, but days before the senatorial election his veteran adversary Susan Bradshaw starts playing dirty.

Syd is startled when Owen's family arrives for their formal engagement party: sister Anny he's so close to she feels excluded and their parents Charles and Nora, who seems suspicious and even critical of everything, she even takes a couple compatibility test; the pair behaves suspiciously, almost like spies, for a surprising reason.

The Health department determines it's serious, possibly hemorrhagic fever (Ebola?!) and immediately quarantines both clinic and Hansen house.
