* ADeadlyAffair: Monty killed Buddy for having an affair with Sarah
* DodgyToupee: Both Buddy and Monty wear one. In fact, it's how Mark ultimately proves Monty is the killer. In the struggle with Buddy, Monty's toupee fell off his head and he grabbed Buddy's toupee by mistake, giving him effectively longer hair. He later switched it out for a spare of his own toupee, but the one recovered from the scene has a number to identify the customer which seals the deal.

Unfortunately, Buddy is nowhere near as nice off the camera as he is on it, and with bringing him and his old crew come back a raring host of issues. All of it culminates with Buddy walking on set with a knife to his back. With a time limit until the suspects leave after the telethon and Buddy's son Michael facing murder charges for being the last person seen alive with him, it's up to Mark and the team to save him and the ER.
