Having a birthday coming up makes would-be single mother Dana decide to search for a volunteer sperm donor in order to get pregnant and have a child of her own. All the while she also helps a woman and her HIV-positive husband safely have their own child. Meanwhile, an unlucky teenage girl (Jurnee Smollett) is admitted and later diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease, specifically suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease. Her enraged mother (Loretta Devine) confronts and accuses Lu for being responsible, because she provided her daughter
with birth control in the first place. Also Nick cares for an abandoned drug-exposed newborn.
