The workers' fight to get adequate medical treatment proves a mixed blessing. The hiring of the company doctor, Tony Moressa, also results in some disadvantages for Ned and the rest of the cash-strapped workers. Tony's exorbitant medical bills are more than the miners can afford. So, Ned is tempted to take another job as the mine's over-man. Meanwhile, Rose and Sarah arrive in town for another visit. Nellie's plans to move into her dream house are quashed when the company buys Nellie's dream house for Tony to live in. Also, Charley is hospitalized with a head injury. Willie, Maggie and Mrs. MacTavish take turns to maintain a bedside vigil, as does Anne Harper.
