Aired on January 13, 1978

64
Franny expresses frustration with Candy’s lateness, talkativeness, and lack of experience. Patients exploit Candy’s naivety with pranks, while a timid wheelchair user fears Candy’s excessive kindness signals her impending death, risking her cardiac condition. Merry Jane criticizes both, calling Candy a dim-wit. Candy eventually tricks a prankster into eating his meal. Franny then tasks Candy with a stubborn boy refusing food. Candy’s harsh approach triggers a tantrum and further scolding. Doubting her nursing suitability, Candy tries again by discussing the boy’s interest in cowboy literature. He eats his meal and asks for lasso lessons. Merry Jane praises the success but warns against class tardiness.
