Susan is having a very hard time getting over little Suzy being gone.  During the entire episode we hear her talking to someone, (a therapist?), about it.  Kerry and Mark discuss Susan's candidacy for Chief Resident.  Kerry wants Mark to support her to  become an attending physician.  If he does then she will support Susan.  We find out from Lydia that her and Al are engaged.  Loretta Sweet and her two kids are brought in to the E.R.  She is having pains.  Al and Lydia help look after the kids.  The kids take the video camera from Iris, who is in because of a cat allergy, and they video tape people around the E.R.  Karen tells Doug that his father went to Mexico with money that belongs to the hotel.  Doug feels bad about it, so he goes to his mother to borrow $25,000.00.  He feels bad because Ray gave him the money before he left.  Karen tells him not to feel bad, his dad had taken $250,000.00.  Carol has to go to an investigative interview about Shep and the case where Shep shoved the guy into a table.  Carol seems to be covering for him even though Reilly knows better.  The case is then dropped, but Carol seems to feel bad about it afterwards.  Al Boulet shows up in the E.R. because he can't seem to get rid of the flu.  Kerry Weaver takes care of him and runs some blood tests.  He is Jeanie's husband that she is separated from.  She finds out that he is there and checks his chart.  She calls upstairs so that she can get the results of the blood tests.  He has A.I.D.S.  Jeanie has to tell him.  Carter takes care of a young girl who needs a liver transplant.  She is disappointed because she is going to miss her basketball tournament.
