Later, the nurses try to relax in the break room, but young patient Chloe wanders in naked, terrified by orderly Bert, who pretends to be insane. While Barbara fends off a corrupt pharmaceutical company representative, a recovered Kyle asks Janis for a date. Agreeing to pass on a message, she promises to contact Jude later. Although she initially claims that Jon is not there, she is swayed by Jude's passionate plea to save the reformer, who was shot by prison authorities to discourage his activities. The following day, ex-convict Jude attempts to find Jon in the hospital, but when Warden Kelley bars his way, he appeals to Sandra, who is African American, for help. At night, Barbara unwinds by skydiving and then having sex with her boyfriend Zach. The girls laugh at the note, then gently dissuade "Bathrobe Benny" from his customary afternoon flashing episode. Later, Sandra receives a note written in lipstick that threatens rape. Barbara, meanwhile, tries to cheer up patient Miles Bailey, a millionaire hospital patron who was burned by a disgruntled employee, causing such severe facial disfigurement that his head is wrapped in gauze, but he sends her away. With the care of Janis and kind orderly Kit, Kyle is subdued and treated. Janis tends to another new patient, cowboy trucker Kyle Toby, who is hallucinating after taking too many amphetamines in order to clock enough driving hours to pay off his truck. Barbara and Janis attempt to ease Sandra's sense of guilt, and all are distracted by the arrival of a new patient on the prison ward, Jon Sampson, a notorious Civil Rights activist and prison reformer who has supposedly attempted suicide. One day, a young patient climbs to the hospital roof and, before Sandra can stop her, jumps to her death.
Nurses Barbara, Janis and Sandra live together and work in the psychiatric ward of an urban hospital.
