Mark has Rachel for the weekend.  Carter discharges Mrs. Rubadoux to a nursing home and is glad to be getting her out of his care.  Benton gets invited to Vucelich's house for a party.  Mark invites Susan and little Suzy to go ice skating with him and Rachel;  she is not too happy with the idea.  Doug's father keeps calling to speak with him, but he does not answer the calls.  He finds out that his father is staying at the Hotel Dupree.  Benton invites Jeanie to be his dinner guest at Vucelich's party.  Mr. Rubadoux brings his wife back in to Carter after she suffers a stroke.  Ruby trusts Carter with his wife.  E. Ray Boseman helps out as a desk clerk since they are under staffed.  Mark tells Rachel that she is going to have two homes from now on.  One with mommy and one with daddy.  She doesn't take the news well and Jen has come to pick her up.  She throws a tantrum on the way out.  Jeanie tells Carter that he needs to tell Ruby that his wife doesn't have very long to live.  Carter is too much of a coward to tell him and Ruby finds out from another doctor.  Ruby confronts Carter about it and he admits that he knew all along.  Doug gets the courage to call his father back, but hangs up after he answers.  Dr. Morganstern is brought into the ER with a dress on, but we later find out that it is a  kilt, but the staff gets a good laugh out of it anyways.
