Ashley is planning a new year's eve karaoke party. Pete invites Irene, providing she acts 'normal'. Later, he has regrets and tries to get out of it. However, Irene looks stunning and acts perfectly normal. Berg treats Robert Goulet for an earache and ends up inviting him to their party. In doing so he inadvertently rosters Ashley's boyfriend to work at the hospital so the boyfriend is unable to go to the party. Berg does the right thing and undoes his rostering error. As an alternative to the party, Sharon organises her own romantic evening with Johnny but he would prefer to see Robert Goulet. He then gets a his own very big surprise.
