Third Watch: Alex gets bent out of shape when a new firefighter, Prescott, joins the squad. She tells the boss she's ready to come back, so he says as soon as they can find a replacement medic for her she's back on the squad. Meanwhile, Prescott turns out to be a nice guy and tells Alex how proud of her her father was. Yokas comes back from her "vacation" and promises never to hide anything from Bosco again. Kim and Doc bring a woman to the hospital who dies because she was beaten by her druggie boyfriend, and then they have to save the druggie boyfriend's life when he's arrested by Yokas and Bosco and overdoses. Doc feels guilty over Ryan Buckley, the teenager who Doc believes he paralyzed. He visits Ryan and, as Kim predicts, Ryan wonders why Doc feels so guilty. Doc is pleased to hear Ryan's paralysis might be temporary, and sure enough, Ryan is able to move a finger later that day. Joey breaks his arm falling off the jungle-gym while in Jimmy's care. Kim is at first furious, and considers using it as ammunition in the custody battle, but she finally calms down and realizes that it's normal for boys to break a few bones. Jimmy risks his own life to save a boy Joey's age in a fire and is disappointed when the boy is scared of him later. Jimmy is even more distraught when his own son apologizes to him for crying when he broke his arm. Jimmy finds out he's probably going to win custody of Joey, but is starting to realize that that might not be best for Joey.
