Spring passes the information along to Dr. Spring gradually befriends Domino, even though he asserts that he will never give up racing because it is the one thing that makes him feel confident. After Lola and Elton team up to save a little boy's life, Lola invites Elton out to celebrate, but he becomes angry when she takes him to Schlumfeders, an all-white bar on the beach, then leaves. Defiantly refusing to give up bike racing, Domino roars off and does a wheelie on his bike. While bicycling on the beach bike path one day, Spring spots Domino, who has been released from the hospital and is now working on his motorcycle. Doug Selden, a doctor at South Bay who was summoned to treat the drowning victim, declares the man is dead and comments that the victim's body is covered with oil. One day, as Lynn is strolling along the beach, she sees a drowning victim pulled out of the water. Elton welcomes her, but warns that South Bay Hospital will never allow blacks to work on staff. Lola, meanwhile, visits Elton at his ghetto clinic and volunteers to work there. McClintock, Domino's physician, warns Spring that Domino must refrain from any vigorous activity, which means giving up his love for motorcycle racing. Later, Spring is assigned to the case of Domino, a bitter Vietnam veteran suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, who has had a plastic plate inserted into his head as a result of a war injury. Setton, the crusty hospital administrator, and Lola, who is black, is shocked when she witnesses Setton slam his office door shut after Elton Sanders, a black physician, tries to confront him because he has been rejected for a position on the hospital staff. Student nurses Spring, Lola and Lynn rent an apartment together at the beach after being assigned to a new, innovative nursing program at South Bay Hospital.
