Although she impresses doctors with her ability to answer medical questions, her attempts to help patients are clumsy. <br> Lucy meets Dr. Maggie Doyle (JORJA FOX) and works with second-year resident Dr. John Carter. She also encounters Bernard Gamely (VINCE VIELUF), a lanky 24-year-old medical student. Head nurse Carol Hathaway notices Lucy's lack of confidence and befriends her. <br> Placed on probation, Hathaway's fianci, Pediatric Emergency Fellow Dr. Doug Ross, must report every procedure he needs to perform to Acting Chief of Emergency Medicine Dr. Kerry Weaver. Meanwhile, a paramedic asks Dr. Mark Greene, chief resident, to consider acting as the district medical director for EMS (Emergency Medical Service), a voluntary job. Greene's daughter, Rachel (YVONNE ZIMA), is living with him for the summer. <br> In search of a new fellowship, surgical Resident Dr. Elizabeth Corday returns from an interview in Denver and reunites with her lover, Dr. Peter Benton. Benton tells Corday that his son's hearing test is postponed due to an ear infection. Benton hopes the baby's hearing loss is due to the infection. And attractive Roxanne Please (JULIE BOWEN), an insurance agent injured during her exercise workout, receives treatment at the emergency room. </p> <address><font FACE="Times New Roman"> <i><u> Music<br> </u> </i></font>Santana - Samba Pa Ti </address> <hr color="#006666" size="1"> <p align="center"><b><font size="4"><a name="Split Second">Split Second</a></font></b></p> <p>Written by Carol Flint <br> Directed by Christopher Misiano<br> <br> A child dies after not receiving proper treatment at the scene of a karate accident. This motivates Greene to become an unpaid EMS director. A jubilant Hathaway gets a salaried registered nurse for her clinic. She chooses Lynette Evans (PENNY JOHNSON), a friendly, no-nonsense nurse practitioner. <br> To save rent money, Carter lives in a medical student dormitory as a resident advisor. But his responsibilities to the students cause him not to get enough sleep. At the hospital, Weaver approves Carter's salary request. Carter confides to Weaver that his goal is to become chief resident next year. <br> While visiting Corday at her apartment, Benton meets her father, Charles Corday (PAUL FREEMAN). Charles Corday wants his daughter to return home with him and join his cardiothoracic practice. Later, Corday flawlessly performs surgery while operating the Aesop robotic computer with Dr. "Rocket" Romano assisting. She realizes that the only way she can stay at County General is to start over as an intern, which she eventually decides to do. The audiology test on Reese, Benton and Carla's infant son, reveals a severe to profound hearing loss. He'll need digital hearing aids. Benton is deeply disappointed and a little bit in denial. <br> Two teenage boys with gunshot wounds are rushed to the emergency room. One of the boys, B.G. (KAREEM GRIMES), has a non-serious scalp laceration. But the other one, Lil 'Toine (CORY C. HARDRICT), sustained a severe wound which will require a colostomy. Trouble occurs when both of B.G.'s girlfriends visit him at the same time. <br> Weaver appears disappointed when Ross' 30-day probation period ends. He gets an offer to do a rotation in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.</p> <address><font FACE="Times New Roman"> <i><u> Music<br> </u> </i></font>John Coltrane - Equinox </address> <hr color="#006666" size="1"> <p align="center"><b><font size="4"><a name="They Treat Horses, Dont They">They Treat Horses, Don't They?</a></font></b></p> <p>Written by Walon Green <br> Directed by T.R. Babu Subramaniam <br> <br> Chief of staff Dr. Donald Anspaugh (JOHN AYLWARD) informs a disappointed Weaver that her official title has changed from acting chief of emergency medicine to interim chief. Greene agrees to be on the search committee to consider candidates to fill the interim position permanently. Despite Weaver's objections, Ross gets the job as the new pediatric emergency room attending doctor. He discovers a teenage girl, Dana (ASHLEY JOHNSON), has cancer of the leg and must defend her rights to her parents who want to amputate. <br> Jeanie Boulet returns from her vacation ready to work. Benton discusses Reese's deafness with Carla ( LISA NICOLE CARSON). Corday watches them and mistakenly thinks they're reuniting until Benton reluctantly tells her about Reese. <br> Greene's daughter, Rachel, pleads with Greene to help a horse in a trailer outside the ambulance bay. He administers an enema. Rachel is proud of her father for helping the horse. Greene's first assignment as an EMS director places him in danger as he treats a dynamite-wired assailant with gunshot wounds. Greene wears a bomb suit and examines the patient. After paramedics rush the bomber to the hospital, Benton works on him, but the patient still has a detonator box entangled in his intestines. When the box starts to hiss, Benton cuts the intestines, removes the box and throws it in a corner. It explodes. No one is hurt. <br> Carter saves an elderly woman and places her on a ventilator. He later finds out she is a DNR (do not resuscitate) and reluctantly removes her from the ventilator. A confused Lucy observes as Carter stays with his patient, who eventually dies. Roxanne Please returns to have her foot examined by Carter. She flirts with him. Later, at Carter's dorm room, Roxanne competently assembles his expensive stereo system and the young couple share a romantic moment as they slow dance.<br> Jimmy Smith - Ruby </p> <hr color="#006666" size="1"> <p align="center"><b><font size="4"><a name="Vanishing Act">Vanishing Act</a></font></b></p> <p>Written by Jack Orman <br> Directed by Lesli Glatter<br>  <br> Weaver interviews for the job as permanent chief of emergency medicine. Greene gets bitten by a dog when he helps the paramedics at an accident scene. Hathaway discloses to Ross that she might be pregnant but later discovers she's not. Lucy misplaces a dead body as she transports it to the morgue. Her inability to start an IV is revealed during a crisis. Carter angrily reprimands Lucy for lying to him. <br> Assigned to obnoxious surgical resident Dale Edson (MATTHEW GLAVE), Corday realizes that her abilities exceed what will be demanded of her as an intern. She corrects Dale's wrong answer when queried by Romano during surgery. <br> Hathaway and Evans disagree on how to control a gang member, Bo (JERMAINE MONTELL), with multiple stab wounds who refuses to cooperate with police because he wants to exact his own revenge. He leaves the hospital and later returns with serious gunshot wounds. <br> Jeanie treats a transplant patient experiencing liver rejection. The man is on the list for another transplant, but his blood alcohol level tests positive. If she divulges this knowledge to the transplant authorities, he most certainly will not receive a new liver. She also cares for a child with a heart problem, but because he's an illegal alien, he can't get the treatment he needs. Jeanie tells Ross she'd like to be his physician assistant in the pediatric emergency room. <br> While Romano prepares to amputate Dana's leg, Ross succeeds in postponing the surgery for a few more days in order to better manage her post-surgery pain. This infuriates Romano. <br> Benton keeps Reese's hearing disability a secret from his coworkers. During his first therapy session with his son, Benton realizes how difficult it will be to help Reese.</p> <address><font FACE="Times New Roman"> <i><u> Music<br> </u> </i></font>Brenton Wood - The Oogum Boogum Song</address> <hr color="#006666" size="1"> <p align="center"><b><font size="4"><a name="Masquerade">Masquerade</a></font></b></p> <p>Written by Samantha Howard Corbin <br> Directed by Steve DeJarnatt<br> <br> On Halloween night, Greene escorts an arrogant candidate for chief of emergency services, Dr. David Litvak (PHILIP CASNOFF), around the emergency room. Greene later divulges to Weaver that, even though Greene voted for her, Litvak has been elected as chief. Greene neglects to order a pregnancy test on an unmedicated schizophrenic mother-to-be, Coco (SHEILA KELLEY), and administers a drug that can cause birth defects. To add to his terrible day, Greene discovers that his ex-wife, Jennifer (CHRISTINE HARNOS), and his daughter, Rachel, plan to relocate to St. Louis, Missouri. Greene realizes he's become very devoted to Rachel in the summer she has been with him. <br> Ross enacts strict policy procedures for the pediatric emergency room that become impossible to enforce due to the huge volume of patients. Ross relents and allows Weaver to work on some of his patients. Weaver asks Carter to give a presentation the following day on one of his former cases. Carter shares responsibility for Lucy's inability to start an IV and is no longer mad at her. He places Lucy in charge of the Halloween party at the dormitory so he can do research for his presentation. But trouble occurs when two medical students take drugs with alcohol and almost die. Once again, Carter is disappointed in Lucy. <br> Test results surprise Benton, Romano and Dale when Corday reports that the little girl they are operating on is genetically a boy. Later, Corday, anxious to celebrate Halloween, gets a pleasant surprise from Benton, who dresses like the '70s film character John Shaft for a special date.</p> <address><font FACE="Times New Roman"> <i><u> Music<br> </u> </i></font>Rob Zombie - Dragula<br> Isaac Hayes - Shaft</address> <hr color="#006666" size="1"> <p align="center"><b><font size="4"><a name="Stuck On You">Stuck On You</a></font></b></p> <p>Written by Neal Baer <br> Directed by David Nutter<br> <br> Because of the Halloween fiasco, Carter is terminated as resident advisor, and he packs his belongings in preparation for moving out of the dormitory. Roxanne helps Carter in his search for a new place to live. When Carter answers a newspaper advertisement and visits a house, he is surprised to see Weaver open the door. <br> While on a paramedic ride-along, Greene risks his life rescuing a battered, homeless teenage male prostitute named Kevin (CHAD E. DONELLA). Greene tries to help Kevin reform his personal life and encourages him to take medication to help with a dangerous medical condition, but the teenager refuses. Anspaugh realizes that Corday is overqualified to intern with Dale, who knows less than Corday does, and agrees to let Benton take over as her resident. Benton's reluctant due to their personal relationship. <br> When Weaver learns that Dr. Litvak refused the job as chief of emergency services, she becomes increasingly optimistic, knowing that she's the board's second choice. Anspaugh informs Greene that the committee wants a chief with a national reputation who can acquire research grants. Greene ultimately informs Weaver about the board's decision to reopen its search. Insulted, Weaver removes herself from the search and resigns as interim chief. Weaver refers Benton to a hearing specialist, Dr. Lisa Parks (deaf actress PHYLLIS FRELICH), for Reese. Parks, who is deaf, uses sign language and an interpreter to communicate. <br> Ross becomes overwhelmed by his paperwork responsibilities for the pediatric emergency room. Jeanie treats a girl who keeps getting injured while competing for world records with her father. Evans and Hathaway disagree on a birth-control issue.

At the hospital, Carter hesitates to evaluate Lucy's performance because he wants to be fair. Lucy records her thoughts concerning difficulties with Carter into her palmtop computer. Carter finds the computer, unintentionally hears Lucy's private notes and becomes very defensive. Greene forces Carter and Lucy to confront their problems with each other. <br> Weaver derives enjoyment from seeing Anspaugh muddle through as interim chief. The committee interviews Dr. Amanda Lee (MARE WINNINGHAM), who appears to be the first choice for the position as chief. At Corday's urging, Benton speaks with ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) specialist Dr. David Kotlowitz (DENNIS BOUTSIKARIS), who advocates cochlear implants. But Kotlowitz's fanaticism only confuses Benton. An exhausted Corday, awake for over 24 hours, administers a potentially fatal dose of magnesium to a patient, who almost dies. This mistake gets Benton and her in trouble. <br> Disappointed that she's not pregnant, Hathaway administers a laboratory test to make sure her hormone levels are normal. Meanwhile, a streetwise pregnant woman fakes pain in order to obtain a free ultrasound at the clinic. When the patient discovers the sex of her baby, it becomes obvious she'll get an abortion. A furious Hathaway yells at her. <br> Jeanie solves the mystery of a sick baby. Pediatric anesthesiologist Dr. Alex Babcock (DAVID BRISBIN) argues with Ross over setting policy in the pediatric emergency room. Greene enjoys the male camaraderie at the fire station with the paramedics and fire fighters until they try to initiate him with a hazing ritual. Greene stays with Hathaway and Ross for the night while asbestos is removed from his apartment.</p> <address><font FACE="Times New Roman"> <i><u> Music<br> </u> </i></font>Grace Jones - Ring of Fire </address> <hr color="#006666" size="1"> <p align="center"><b><font size="4"><a name="The Good Fight">The Good Fight</a></font></b></p> <p>Written by Jack Orman <br> Directed by Christopher Chulack<br> <br> This special episode primarily concerns one case. A father and daughter involved in a motor-vehicle accident arrive at the emergency room. The father, Gemmill (JOHN THADDEUS), received a minor scalp laceration. But his 7-year-old daughter, Corinna (NICOLETTE LITTLE), has a ruptured spleen and may need surgery. Carter administers to the little girl and begins a blood transfusion. Gemmill tells Lucy to call the girl's mother in Cleveland. <br> During the transfusion, Corinna unexpectedly loses consciousness. The staff realizes that the blood was typed correctly but it wasn't cross-matched, and Corinna is having a hemolytic reaction--her immune system is destroying the red blood cells. When Lucy tries to talk to the father, he's gone! <br> After talking on the telephone to Corinna's mother in Cleveland, Ohio, Lucy discovers that the father's real name is Nelson. Currently, in a bitter divorce battle with his wife, Nelson gave a false name to avoid prosecution for kidnapping his daughter. Meanwhile, the laboratory results show that Corinna has a cross reaction to minor antigens. Her mother's blood type doesn't match, but her father's blood is a perfect match--a 1-in-50 million chance. Nelson must be located in order for Corinna to survive. Carter's shift is over, so Greene takes the case. But Carter can't stop thinking about Corinna and searches all over Chicago for Nelson. <br> Meanwhile, Lucy also tries to locate Nelson after her shift ends. Corinna's condition worsens, and Benton needs to operate or else she will die. Benton performs surgery without the blood. Lucy and Carter team up and search all over Chicago, encountering dangerous situations including Carter's possible exposure to TB (tuberculosis). They eventually locate Nelson directly across the street from the hospital at Doc Magoo's, the local diner. Corinna finally gets her life-saving transfusion. The total team effort of the emergency room staff of Chicago's County General Hospital might save Corinna's life.</p> <address><font FACE="Times New Roman"> <i><u> Music</u></i></font></address> <address>The Drifters - Under the Boardwalk </address> <hr color="#006666" size="1"> <p align="center"><b><font size="4"><a name="Good Luck, Ruth Johnson">Good Luck, Ruth Johnson</a></font></b></p> <p>Written by Lydia Woodward <br> Directed by Rod Holcomb<br> <br> Greene continues to stay at Hathaway's house. Ross queries Greene about his date with the new Chief of Emergency Services, Amanda Lee. Hathaway handles a case involving an 8-year-old boy, Wilson (JESSE JAMES). Wilson sustains minor injuries when hit by a car while riding his bicycle with his 8-year-old friend, who was shot to death. Wilson claims a man chased them. But later Hathaway discovers bullets in Wilson's belongings, and he confesses to shooting his friend, who refused to give Wilson his boots. Wilson displays no remorse. <br> Since today is the hospital's 100th anniversary, Lee arranges for Carter to escort a woman, Ruth Johnson (ANNE PITONIAK), who was born 100 years ago today. Carter gives a tour to Ruth and over 20 members of her family, including a very pregnant great-granddaughter. After the party, the great-granddaughter delivers a baby and names the girl after her nana, Ruth Johnson. <br> Corday answers questions concerning the magnesium overdose. She blames the system for the accident because she had been working for 36 hours straight. Since the patient survives with no bad aftereffects, Corday is cleared of any wrongdoing and the system remains intact. However, her relationship with Benton ends. <br> Benton observes a cochlear implant operation (the procedure Benton is considering for Reese) that Dr. Kotlowitz performs on a 3-year-old boy. Kotlowitz schedules the same surgery for Reese. Later, Benton reconsiders and cancels the surgery. Lee encourages Greene to supervise a study on a new pain medicine, and he agrees.</p> <hr color="#006666" size="1"> <p align="center"><b><font size="4"><a name="The Miracle Worker">The Miracle Worker</a></font></b></p> <p>Written by Paul Manning <br> Directed by Lesli Linka Glatter<br> <br> On Christmas Eve, Jerry becomes suspicious of Lee when he sees her closing Greene's locker and Greene's personal items later turn up missing. No one believes Jerry, but he's right. Lee is obsessed with Greene. <br> Corday treats David Gardner (TOM AMANDES), an attractive 44-year-old symphony trumpet soloist concerned that the surgery needed to remove his prostate cancer will make him sexually dysfunctional. She adeptly calms his fears. Aware of their mutual attraction, the two share supper at Doc Magoo's. <br> Paramedics transport an 18-year-old flatlined boy. After Carter successfully resuscitates him, the teen's heart beats, but he's brain dead. Later, a 16-year-old girl with liver failure, who desperately needs a transplant, enters the emergency room. Her type AB blood matches only two percent of the population--but it is the same blood type as the brain-dead boy. Carter gets his Christmas miracle when the boy's mother, Mrs. Richards (LAURIE O'BRIEN), agrees to donate her son's liver to the girl. <br> Benton cannot have dinner at his sister's house because Romano, as usual, gives his own work to Benton to complete. After Romano leaves, one of his patients, Mr. DeMisa (TRAVIS McKENNA), requires emergency surgery, but Romano doesn't respond to his page. Benton begins surgery, and Romano finally arrives--drunk.

As acting chief of emergency services, Romano delegates a plethora of responsibilities to Greene and Weaver. Lucy and Carter share a romantic tryst while on duty. Greene treats hospital worker Mobalage for impotency. <br> Meanwhile, paramedics transport terminally ill Ricky to the emergency room as they try to resuscitate him. His father, David Abbott (CONOR O'FARRELL), a lawyer with the state attorney's office, insists on keeping the boy alive. When Ricky never recovers, Abbott accuses Ross of killing his son.

As a result of the combined efforts of paramedics, firefighters and hospital personnel, all of the children miraculously survive. <br> From his own accident, Ross receives a gash to the head. Jeanie, his passenger, who was not wearing a seatbelt, has contusions to the forehead, face and abdomen. Paramedics rush her to the hospital, where Benton administers to her. Tests reveal a serious condition, but not from the accident or from her HIV-positive status: Jeanie has Hepatitis C. <br> Carter and Lucy refrain from sexual relations with each other due to hospital policy. Ross resigns from the hospital and decides to move to either Portland or Seattle. He asks Hathaway, his fiancie, to join him, but she declines.

Instead of a hospital, Benton finds a rural clinic run by Maureen (CELIA WESTON), a nurse practitioner and Catholic nun who needs rest after a leg injury. The accommodations are considerably less than Benton expected. He sleeps in a cramped trailer, has very little to eat because he is a vegetarian and Maureen's meals contain meat, and visits sick people's houses by boat in a swamp. <br> Benton quickly learns that some of the white folks don't trust an African-American doctor. Administering to patients at the clinic, Benton notices that the white people visit Maureen at her house for treatment. Since Benton doesn't believe he's making a contribution and finds it difficult to work due to racial intolerance, he decides to leave. On the way out of town, he sees a tractor overturned in a ditch. After rescuing the white farmer and reviving the farmer's 3-year-old son, Benton decides to stay a while longer. <br> On another case, Benton uses ether on a pregnant woman as he handles a very difficult and complicated birth. Later, a shrimp boat explodes, and Benton demonstrates his competent surgical skills to save a man's life. Through his determination and expertise, Benton slowly gains the respect of most of the townspeople. He meets Adelina (PORSHA PALMER), an athletically gifted 13-year-old girl with uncontrolled diabetes. Benton drives Adelina and her Gramma Deane (BARBARA ROBERTS) to a hospital 40 miles away for tests. Besides the diabetes, Adelina has a small hole in her heart--something Benton didn't detect.

Weaver visits a 70-year-old woman in a board-and-care home whom she believes is her biological mother. Extremely ill, the woman has a DNR (do not resuscitate) order, but Weaver calls the paramedics anyway and accompanies her to the emergency room. Weaver medically treats the dying woman. Later, Weaver realizes the woman cannot possibly be her mother. <br> Carter acts as "senior-for-a-day" in a program designed as part of his chief resident application. He doles out work in the emergency room. Carter believes a 4-month-old infant he's treating is a victim of child abuse, but he later discovers the baby has a brittle bone disease, causing her bones to break easily. Lucy begins her psychiatric rotation, but the patients don't take her seriously because she's so young. <br> Corday discusses a trauma surgery fellowship possibly offered out of the emergency room with Benton. Corday hopes she gets it and becomes angry when she discovers afterward that Benton expressed an interest in it to Weaver. Benton now realizes the fellowship was Corday's idea. Denise Dwyer (ANNA GUNN), a public defender immigration attorney, visits Greene to discuss Mobalage's upcoming deportation hearing. Mobalage must testify about his torture, or he will be deported.

In return, he offers some healing prayers for her. Test results reveal her liver functions well. <br> Evans confronts Hathaway about social services making the clinic responsible for monitoring Coco and her baby--a deal Hathaway arranged without Evans's (the clinic administrator) permission. Coco proves her ability to care for the baby. <br> Lucy interviews Michael McKenna (MIKE DOYLE), a law-school student who smashed his car with a baseball bat. By using her talent to make people feel comfortable around her, Lucy gets him to reveal that he hears demons. Seth Willows (VINCENT BERRY), a troubled 10-year-old foster child, kicks Hathaway.

An elderly patient, Dottie Armstrong (ANNE BELLAMY), is brought to the hospital by her neighbor, Gladys (JEAN SINCERE), against the wishes of Dottie's husband, Army Armstrong (FORD RAINEY). Army insists his wife suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Lucy examines Dottie and treats a bedsore. Against Carter's advice, Lucy orders a psychiatric consult for Army because he exhibits symptoms of depression. The psychiatrist agrees and notes Army's suicidal tendencies. Lucy reexamines Dottie's wound and realizes it is actually a bullet hole. Gladys inadvertently stopped Army from murdering his confused wife and then killing himself. <br> Carter tells Roxanne he doesn't want to have a relationship with her anymore after she tries to sell insurance to Phyllis Farr (HOLLAND TAYLOR), a patient who markets synthetic pheromones. Hathaway finally decides to send Ross a letter informing him about her pregnancy, but she does not want him to return to Chicago just because of the baby. A terrible storm causes a power outage. The facsimile machine ceases to function as Hathaway tries to send her letter to Ross. Auxiliary generators power up the critical equipment. After awhile, the backup generators fail, and the staff works frantically to keep patients alive. A 20-year-old comatose female patient from another floor is beaten, sexually assaulted and left at the emergency room. Corday saw a man dressed as a technician deposit the woman.

Later when FBI agent Hoffman (GEORGE McDANIEL) arrives at the hospital searching for Amber, Greene realizes that Carmichael and Clayton were not really affiliated with the FBI. <br> Carter watches Lucy swallow a pill and confronts her. She admits she uses Ritalin, a medication for attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity in children. She's been taking the prescription ever since she was in the fifth grade. Carter suggests it's time for her to quit. Due to Hathaway's behavior, Weaver concludes that Hathaway is pregnant. Weaver tells her to opt out of treating any patients that might be a risk to the baby. Hathaway calls Ross to tell him she's pregnant and is disappointed when he tells her he won't be returning to Chicago. <br> Three teenagers involved in a car accident get rushed to the emergency room.

Now, Antoine's arms will have to be placed in a cast, and he will be unable to interview for the summer science lab program. <br> A patient, Celinda Randlett (TERI GARR), says she is medically empathetic (she feels what is happening inside other people), and she accurately diagnoses the patients surrounding her in the emergency room. Celinda asks Hathaway--in the presence of nurse Lydia Wright (ELLEN CRAWFORD)--when the baby is due. The staff deduces that Hathaway is pregnant. Greene and Corday perform an ultrasound on Hathaway that reveals she is bearing twins.
