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. 'Wedding expert' Joanie is asked to arrange a wedding - for Hazel's dog Patty and Jim's dog Fearless, who, alas, don't get along . Meanwhile Phil is going to Denver for a job interview as a rehab physiotherapist. Joanie freaks out, breaks up with him, then changes her mind. Syd worries about Korean patient Justin Kim, who has a bad hand-cut and an infected street drug gang tattoo; soon he is found shot next to her car, still not talking. Owen Frank assures her the malpractice charge should go easy if she keeps her mouth shut.
