By Pamie | Season 3 | Episode 12 | Aired on 02.13.2000
Richard asks Ling if she's sure she'll be okay. They all walk down the street. Marty asks whether they can appeal. John says it would be difficult. Marty says that he should start his own home. He then sees some pygmies. They chase him into the street. They actually do the slow motion, "NOOOO!" on Ling as we hear tires screeching. She does it again as they run over to him. Marty is out on the street. Richard tries to pull her away from Marty's limp body. Ling is sad and calling Marty's name. Richard holds her, but Ling keeps saying his name.
At the hospital, the doctors tell Ling that things look pretty grim. Marty has suffered brain trauma, and cannot recover. Ling wants another neurologist. She tells the neurologist that he can't just give up. Ling screams another "No," and runs off. Richard follows her.
Eyehair brings a summons in to Ally. He's now wearing a neck brace. He's brought his brother, who is a laywer. Billy walks over to hear the story. Ally says that Eyehair walked away from that accident. Eyehair says that necks are funny, and that now it hurts to laugh. Elaine fills Billy in on what happened. Nelle walks over and says that she knew he said he was fine. Nelle says they should walk into a room and "make this go away." Ally yelps that she isn't going to give Eyehair any money. They walk into the room.
John tells Ling that four different neurologists have looked at Marty and that they all agree: He's not coming back. The only thing keeping him alive is the respirator. Other residents are in the waiting room. John says that Ling was the trustee of Marty's will, so she needs to make a decision. She says that she's not going to pull the plug. She says that a year from now they might know how to fix what's wrong with him. One of the residents pulls Ling aside and tells her that Marty wouldn't want to live this way. Marty was a man who liked to fight dragons. "He could stare down a Cyclops." She says that he should go with dignity and be with God. "He loved you so much, and I know you loved him. He needs you to help him now." Glance. Glance. Glance.
Ally is amazed at how much money Eyehair is demanding. Brother Lawyer says that they have an admission of guilt. Ally says that Eyehair wasn't hurt. "I have a bulging disk," he says. "Well, it wasn't your disk that was bulging yesterday," she says. She announces that she wants to sue him back. "I think you wanted me to hit your car," she says, completely crashing her car into logic and reason. "Yeah, I drove in front of you so you could hit me," Eyehair says, and the Brothers Grin begin the dueling obnoxious laughs. Everyone stares at the laughers until Ally yells that she'll just pay them. "Pay them!" They keep laughing while everyone is disgusted.
