Plot Overview

Jamie tells Cecile that Ada is going to the funeral service this morning for Charlie with Joey, Clarice, and Larry. When Cecile asks Jamie what's bothering him he tells her it has to do with his mother and Mitch Blake. Olivia asks Russ how Tracy is doing and then Irwin Burger, the hospital administrator asks to see him. Joey greets Clarice and Larry when they arrive at Ada's and Joey tells them that Ada is still acting the same. Joey also tells them the memorial service is Thursday and Larry is surprised to learn that Charlie just wanted the 4 of them at the funeral service. Then Ada enters and snaps at Joey that she is okay as they leave for the service. Russ tells Olivia that even with modern technology he is upset that they couldn't save Charlie Hobson. When Dooley and Tracy take a break from rehearsing, Tracy tells Jason that lately it seems as if Russ doesn't notice her whether she is in town or not. Larry, Clarice, Joey, and Ada arrive home from the funeral and Clarice tells Joey that she has 2 brothers; Denny is 28 and a lawyer and Leigh is almost 20 at Lakeland College in Wisconsin and is a hockey player, hoping to be in the 1984 Olympics. Jason tells Tracy that he has booked her at the Pyramid Hotel in Las Vegas for 2 weeks with an option for 2 more, January 19 February 1 or the 15th. Dr. Burger tells Russ that he wants him to head up a new emergency care unit. Mac tries to comfort Ada and tells her that Rachel will be able to be at the memorial service. Ada tells Mac that she is fine. Cecile asks Jamie if he is okay and would like to talk about Rachel and Mitch but he says he has to think some things through first. Russ tells Olivia the good news and adds that he intends to still stay active with the cardiac unit at least for now. Olivia suggests that he talk all this over with Tracy because the better their 2 careers get the harder it may be for them as a couple. Mac tells Jamie that Charlie's death has got him thinking and wants to tidy up his life a bit. Mac also tells him that he is having formal paperwork drawn up that will make him the next in line at Cory Publishers. Tracy and Russ both come home early and Tracy tells Russ the good news that she is going to be headlining at the Pyramid Hotel in Las Vegas. Jamie confirms for Cecile that Mac is going away to try and prove that Mitch is still alive. Jamie also tells Cecile that he doesn't like him and Rachel getting their hopes up. Cecile invites Jamie to spend New Year's Eve with her at the Arena. Jason visits Olivia and tells her about Tracy's new gig in Vegas. Olivia denies having any interest in Russ and tells Jason she wouldn't dream of interfering in their lives. Jason doesn't believe her. Joey leaves Ada alone in her home. Russ tells Tracy that he has been offered a new position at the hospital and it means even more work. Then they argue over the fact that both careers will take them away from each other.
