Dr. Sudip Bose treats a patient covered in cow feces after the man crashed his convertible into a cow. Now, he's stinking up the whole hospital. On the same shift, a lap dancer with a stiletto heel stuck in her cheek flirts with Dr. Bose while he tries to remove it. Meanwhile, a patient's heart stops with no explanation, and Dr. David Meyers tries to revive her. He fails, and after 40 minutes, declares her dead. But is she actually? Then, it's a full moon, and Dr. Tyler Cymet is preparing for a long night ahead. His first patient is woman who causes great commotion with hysterical wailing and flailing. When asked why she's there, she says she's dying of a broken heart.
