Pete fears Johnny is trying to kill him. Berg and Ashley start their residency and Berg feels one of the doctors is riding him too hard.

Robert Goulet stops by Ashley's boffo New Year's Eve party, where the Broadway king holds court with Pete's unstable date. Meanwhile, in the basement, Johnny puts Sharon off with his Goulet fixation as they prepare to greet the new millennium.

Berg lands in a very tight spot when Irene takes their little affair a tad too far; Sharon refuses to get dirty with Johnny until he cleans up the new brownstone; and Ash begins to fall apart after her breakup with Nomar.

The guys try to save someone's--anyone's--life after Johnny's tape of Sharon rescuing a choking man turns her into a local hero. Meanwhile, Ash finds some kind of salvation after she lands in jail for fighting with a cop at a sobriety checkpoint.
