Chloe wakes Susan up and tells her that it is time for the baby; her contractions are only 2 minutes apart.  Chloe wants Susan to put on "Blackbird".  It is 4:30 am and Susan calls Dr. Colburn to come, but Susan ends up delivering the baby herself.  A new nurse named Chuny Marquez assists her.  It is Mother's Day.  Mark tells Carter that he can have the ER Sub Internship if he wants it, but he tells Mark that he would rather wait to see if he is going to get the Surgical Sub Internship.  Diane tells Doug that she is going to have to find a new place to live and that she would like him to move in with her and Jake.  Doug stutters and tells her that he will think about it.  Cookie Lewis, Susan and Chloe's mom, arrives to see the baby.  She tells Susan that she has already raised her girls and does not want to raise another one.  Susan is going to have to take care of Chloe and little Suzy herself.  Ms. Linda Farrell comes to see Doug again.  She asks him out, but he tells her no...again.  The nursing home calls and Peter runs over there to see what the problem is.  He finds out that his mother has died.  Jeanie later comes in and comforts him as he cries.  Then she kisses him.  Dr. Hicks tells Carter that he did not get the Surgical Sub Internship and Carter takes it badly.  Diane goes to meet Doug and she sees him and Linda leaving the building together.  She leaves and Doug catches up with her and tells her that it is not what it looks like.

NBC Review

A BIRTH, A DEATH -- Despite having kicked out her pregnant sister, Lewis winds up delivering Chloe's baby girl in the ER. However, plans for Chloe and the baby to live with Lewis's mother, Cookie (Valerie Perrine), are thwarted when Cookie refuses. Meanwhile, Carter is rejected for the surgical internship after rejecting an ER internship with Greene. Diane (Lisa Zane) asks Ross to move in with her -- which sends a scared Ross into the arms of his former lover, Linda (Andrea Parker). At the end of a harrowing day, Benton learns that his mother has died, and finds comfort with Jeanie Boulet (Gloria Reuben).

TV Guide Review

May 11, 1995: Motherhood: Oscar-winning screenwriter Quentin Tarantino directed this episode, which is set on Mother's Day. "I never realized [Mother's Day] could be so dangerous," says Carter during a frenetic 24 hours that begins with the birth of Chloe's (Kathleen Wilhoite) baby and ends with Benton reaching a dramatic turning point in his personal and professional life. In between, Ross, Carter and Lewis are each dealt devastating blows that could affect their futures.
