At Solomon's River General Hospital, Dr. Scarlett is worried about how to run the hospital without nurses, who are now out on strike. Unfortunately, the scabs who've been hired to replace them are not working out very well. Magnus comes in and wants to know why his half-brother Scarlett is not helping him discover why Magnus came to the hospital with blood on his hands. Magnus offers to put Scarlett back in the will if he helps. Dr. Scarlett suggests they talk to a detective.
Later, at the detective agency, Detective Smith is finishing a phone call when Magnus and Scarlett arrive to seek help. Smith is excited that a mystery has shown up on the doorstep! Scarlett tells Smith about the blood; Smith takes samples and sends them to the lab for analysis. When questioned, Adverson remembers little about what happened since being tied up in Ylung's basement. They all leave to find a TV Guide so they can determine the timing of events based on what Magnus was watching...either Matlock or Perry Mason.
At Rajiv's Coffee House, Jerry Koff, a candidate for Mayor, comes in to solicit Rajiv's vote. A very enthusiastic man, Jer Koff spreads rumors about Mayor Solomon's activities in the park and his proclivity for hearing voices.
Back outside the hospital, the striking nurses discuss amongst themselves what their demands are: more money, fewer hours, less blood and nicer bathrooms. They also discuss that Jer Koff has promised to help the nurses get all their demands as long as they give him kickbacks and help with his campaign. They change their picket signs to read "Vote for that Jer Koff" and decide to bake "Jer Koff muffins." We leave this episode of Solomon's River as the nurses are chanting, "Jer Koff Muffins! Jer Koff Muffins!"
- Will Suzanne's ghost ever return to Wolfgang?
- Will we find out why Magnus has blood on his hands?
- Will Rajiv go for Jer Koff?
