Jeff, a new medical intern, and Valerie, who is serving community service for her bookmaking, start working at the Wyatt Free Clinic with Kelly, where she also tries to help a victim of spousal abuse. Meanwhile, news of the sudden illness of Carly's estranged father has her wanting to take Zack and move to Montana to care for him, and away from Steve who's struck with grief, fearing that he will never see his girlfriend again. David hangs out with Jasper's Legend to write a story on them, but the bandmates indulge in David's worst fears, drugs and booze. Valerie turns on her deviousness again, determined not to let Brandon and Kelly get back together by interfering with Brandon's phone messages. Elsewhere, Donna and Noah begin arguing due to differing views about Brandon's fling.

David gets caught in the middle of a conflict when the band keyboardist, Mark, blames Noah for his drunk-driving accident and decides to sue. Meanwhile, Donna starts a new photo shoot and deals with a spoiled child model and her demanding mother who spells trouble for her. Steve inadvertently prompts a former frat brother's fiancée, Christy, to call off the wedding. Christy then stays at the Walsh house where she gives Brandon advice on life and love, while her perplexed fiancé, Harry, gives some love life advice to Steve regarding the departed Carly. Kelly counsels a teenage girl who contracted a sexually transmitted disease after cheating on her boyfriend. Valerie, still working community service at the clinic, continues her plan to keep Brandon and Kelly apart, setting up a scene at a restaurant so that Brandon will walk into Kelly with her date Jeff.
