The Unsinkable Sydney Hansen -
"Skateboarder Jamie Rohan bumps into Sid's car and hurts his wrists; his mother is furious to get a call, as she used his late hyperactive big brother Scott's name which she read on his board, and he takes his ADHD tranquilizers, with adverse effect... Robbie still wants to help Andi, whose public defender Lou Keppler is ready to throw in the towel, so he goes begging with sloe witness Chuck, who suggests a deal, if she can sell a format to the TV network..."

Big Night -
"An anguished Syd (Melina Kanakaredes) is forced to recall a repressed childhood memory of her late mother Lynda's (Concetta Tomei) flirtation with a neighbor while she nurses a dying elderly woman (guest star Eileen Ryan) who struggles to remain alive long enough to reconciliate with her arriving daughter. Elsewhere: Joanie (Paula Cale) poses as Syd at a pharmaceutical convention in order to get her sister some much-needed drug samples but winds up in jail with a gaggle of hookers; Robbie (Seth Peterson) mistakenly ends up playing a serious game of cards with some mob wiseguys."

The Gun -
"Syd initially believes her troubled teenaged paper boy (guest star Cory Buck) when he is seriously shot and hospitalized but he tells her that the wound is self-inflicted -- even though his older brother's (guest star Corey Page) behavior indicates otherwise -- and she's unaware that one of them has hidden a gun in a box of toys at the Hansens. Elsewhere, a fed-up Joanie (Paula Cale) hires an industrious clutter cleaner (guest star Jan Hooks, NBC's "Saturday Night Live") who systematically relieves the Hansens of their useless but memorable bric-a-brac and organizes a yard sale while Robbie (Seth Peterson) meets an infomercial wizard (guest star Fred Applegate) and is inspired to create something that everyone needs."
