"Doc" is at the Tarwater home to deliver Charlie Tarwater and Mary Ann Tarwater's baby. He reassures them that he has delivered a baby before, right before the baby is about to be born. "Doc" successfully delivers the Tarwater's baby boy and they thank him. "Doc" goes to Maxine's lodge, the Golden Otter Lodge, and tells her about the Tarwater baby. A newscaster gives a story about Killebrew and his efforts to bring peace in the Middle East. "Doc" greets Sheriff Frank Dudley and asks Sally if the moccasins she is making him are done and she tells him he will have them by Christmas. Sally then asks "Doc" when he is going to look at her bunions. Frank jokes about "Doc"'s rough night and Maxine changes the subject to Frank's run in with some bears and Badger jokes the bears got the best of Frank. Steele and Elena walk into the restaurant and Badger tells Steele the drinks are on "Doc". Steele asks for a doctor and "Doc" tells him he isn't a real doctor. "Doc" looks at Roper's leg and realizes he has a bullet wound and Steele and the others pull out their weapons. Steele shoots the radio in the restaurant and tells Lucas to shoot the radio in "Doc"'s helicopter. During the night, "Doc" tries to get Lucas's gun when Lucas falls asleep, but is knocked unconscious by Elena. They wake up "Doc" and tell him the others are in the meat locker and he says they will suffocate in there. "Doc" then threatens to kill any of them if one of his friends dies. Stringfellow Hawke and Dominic chase after the helicopter and Steele tells "Doc" to signal they are having radio difficulties. "Doc" manages to lose Airwolf when he flies into a tunnel. "Doc" flies them to the McNeil Radar Base. Pilot tells Steele they are nearly ten hours behind schedule and Steele tells Lucas to murder and bury "Doc". "Doc" manages to escape from Lucas. He runs into Hawke and Dominic and tells them about his friends. "Doc", Hawke and Dominic arrive at the Golden Otter Lodge and as Hawke is trying to open the door, he injures himself. "Doc" goes up to Frank's body and picks up his hat. "Doc" works on Hawke's shoulder and then promises justice for Frank. They take Airwolf into the air and Hawke flies injured. They tell Archangel they have located LOKI and Archangel tells Hawke that the thieves match the description of paid assassins from Europe. He tells them he thinks the assassins might be trying to kill Killebrew. The Pilot catches up to Killebrew's plane and helicopter escort and blows up the escort. LOKI takes control of the Pilot's helicopter, and starts firing at Airwolf. Hawke goes unconscious from his wound and Dominic kills the engines. The missile that was fired at Airwolf then hits the helicopter with Steele in it, killing him, Elena, Roper, Lucas and the Co-Pilot. "Doc" takes over and fires a rocket, blowing up the Pilot's helicopter with LOKI. Airwolf escorts Killebrew to safety. At the Golden Otter Lodge, they watch as a newscast says Killebrew arrived at the peace conference. "Doc" holds up a plaque honoring Frank with the words "He caught the big ones" made by Badger. Dominic offers to hire "Doc", but "Doc" tells him he is happy where he is, unless the pay is huge.

Emilio tells Jason, someone from the Golden Otter Lodge told him he could find him there and that someone needs medical attention.

Jason is brought to the cantina where President Marios is at and Jason angrily greets President Marios. He and Teresa go for a walk and he asks why she didn't leave with him when she knew what President Marios was becoming. He tells her the serum is worthless and she tells him he is free to leave when President Marios dies. Jason tells President Marios that he turned against the people, which Marios denies and President Marios makes excuses for his behavior to Tomas who is sitting nearby. Hawke goes into the room and tells Jason to come with him, but Jason doesn't want to leave. Teresa enters the room and she tells Hawke, Jason can leave in a week no matter what.
