Plot[]

Dr. Shulman and the senior partners agree to fire Beverly, their incompetent nurse. Jeremy is to fire her while Mindy hires a replacement. Dan convinces Dr. Shulman that Mindy can't be trusted and joins Mindy. They argue all day, vetoing each others' choices until they reach their final candidate, Morgan Tookers. They agree he is unhirable because he is an ex-con, but allow him to use the bathroom. Meanwhile, Jeremy is not up to the task of firing Beverly, who thinks he is making romantic overtures. Mindy has to fire Beverly, who punches her in the face. Morgan emerges from the bathroom just in time to set Mindy's nose in a compassionate fashion that convinces her to hire him.
