Synopsis: A hot day in Chicago leads to a hectic time in the ER and personal difficulties for the doctors.

Kitty Cameo: In one scene Dr. Susan Lewis (Sherry Stringfield) is surprised when her ne’er do well sister Chloe (Kathleen Wilhoite) shows up begging her for a place to stay. Susan reluctantly hands over the keys to her apartment, telling Chloe not to let the cat out. When Susan returns to her apartment at the end of the day, she is unhappy to see the long-haired ginger cat, whom she appears to call Poopy, outside in the corridor.

Susan picks up the cat and enters the apartment only to find it in complete disarray with the television and VHS machine stolen. Susan sits down on her bed, stunned by the turn of events, when Div (John Terry) enters holding the cat. “The cat was out,” he explains before setting Poopy down and going to comfort Susan.
