Plot summary taken from the site for In Case of Emergency on ABC.com.
| “ | "It's the line on any medical form or job application that most of us take for granted: Who should we contact in case of emergency? We don't even think twice about it as we fill in the name of our spouse, our parents, our sibling, our best friend. But what if you had no one? What if you looked at that question and struggled to come up with one single person that you could contact if there was a real emergency?
Today is a turning point for three high school buddies who find themselves in places they never would have expected, and learn that in one day they can start with no one to count on, but can finish being able to count on each other. After discovering his wife cleaned him out, diet guru Sherman will hijack a bakery truck and over-indulge. In the face of a fraud indictment, financial whiz Jason will dodge the suicide bullet only to shoot himself in the foot…literally. Unhappily divorced, Harry will finally go for a relaxing "massage" but get an unhappy ending, complete with police chase. And the scantily clad "massage therapist" Kelly will get exposed as the High School valedictorian the three men knew her to be. By day's end, good-hearted Harry will have gathered these high school peers under his roof as they come to realize none of them turned out the way they thought they would back in '87. It's a good thing they've all finally got someone to call, because their troubles are just beginning." |

[edit] Trivia
- Jason Ventress, played by actor David Arquette, is noted to have said he was cleaning his gun in the pilot episode, but was actually trying to kill himself with it. He was describing and naming parts of the gun, and named one part the "phalange," which is a word Lisa Kudrow's character on Friends (on which his real-life wife, Courtney Cox, also starred) often used as an alias for herself or things whose names she was not familiar.
- David Arquette's wife Courtney Cox stars in Dirt, another Touchstone-produced series that debuted the day before In Case of Emergency, on FX Network. The coincidental thing is, he and his wife serves as executive producer of the show.
