Mark
sees Carol on his way in to work and he calls
her Susan. Carol tells Mark that him and
Susan need to get married. She also
tells him that Susan really did want him to go
to Hawaii with her, but felt awkward about
asking him. Conni is out sick, so Nurse
Rhonda Sterling has been floated back to the
ER. Dr. Edson asks Carter and Gant to
help him find his missing surgical patient who
needs throat surgery. Carol and Doug
both tell Mark to let Susan know how he feels
about her. Carter finds Dale's patient
hiding in a cabinet in a trauma room. He
is choking on the taffy Wendy had made for the
staff. Carter is asked to scrub in on
the surgery for finding him. Peter
Benton is still watching after the baby, Megan
Herlihy, who he almost killed after a picking
something off of her liver during surgery.
She is still in very serious condition and
Abby Keaton tells him that for the time being,
he needs to look and the operations and not
participate in them. A 13 year old boy
is brought in after being shot. Doug
pronounces his time of death and then Peter
and Gant come in and work on him. They
get his heart beat back, but his brain is
probably mush. They take him up to
surgery. E. Ray is concerned that
something weird is going on with him after
having received a MRI. Anything
electrical that he gets near goes haywire.
Mark gets the nerve and asks Susan out.
She tells him that she can't, but they need to
talk. She hangs around Dr. Motganstern a
lot, so he thinks something is going on
between the two of them. The boy's mom,
Mrs. Dorsett, that Peter has been working on
wants to see her son after his surgery.
She sees that he is going to be brain dead and
begins to cry. Rhonda mistakes the wrong
bag during an amputation of a foot procedure.
She is asked to put the foot on ice in one bag
and ends up putting the ice in the bag with a
football in it instead. When the
surgeons go to get the foot it is a football.
When the patients wife goes to get the lucky
football, it is the bloody foot. Carol
is going to write Rhonda up, but Rhonda quits
and walks out.
Carter is concerned about
his patient that is having the throat surgery.
He doesn't feel that he is competent enough to
understand the seriousness of the surgery.
All he can do is ask for change for the candy
machine. Carter is afraid to tell Anspaugh. Carter and Dale get into a
fight and Carter gets punched in the face and
knocked to the floor. Peter stands watch
over baby Megan all day. Just when
things look as if they will not get better,
she wakes up. The baby is doing a lot
better and her parents than Benton for all
that he has done for her. They still do
not know that he is the one that caused the
problem. Dr. Keaton takes care of Carter's injury. Dr. Abby Keaton and
Carter are very attracted to each other and
they kiss. Mark goes to Susan's
apartment. He tells her that he knows
about her and Morganstern. She has no
idea what he is talking about. She tells
him that her and Morganstern have been working
on finding her a place to work in Phoenix.
She is moving there to be closer to Chloe and
Suzy. Mark and Susan then hug and tell
each other how much they will miss each other.

NBC Review
TIME FOR A CHANGE -- While
obsessing over a critically ill baby in his
care, Dr. Benton (Eriq La Salle) uses heroic
measures to sustain the life of a gang banger
already declared brain dead by Dr. Ross (George
Clooney). Ross is again second-guessed when Dr.
Greene (Anthony Edwards) steps in to diffuse
Ross's argument with the father of a 6-year-old
boy with an infected wound. Dr. Carter's (Noah
Wyle) suspicion that a surgical patient has
psychological problems leads to a confrontation
with Dr. Dale Edson (Matthew Glave). Nurse
Hathaway (Julianna Margulies) continues to clash
with an inexperienced nurse (guest star Jenny
O'Hara), who makes another serious mistake. Dr.
Greene treats a slightly injured social
anthropologist who gives him new insight into
human courtship behavior.

TV Guide Review
November 14, 1996: No Brain, No Gain:
Benton tries to save a young gang member who has
already been pronounced dead by Ross. Meanwhile,
Greene suspects that Lewis is dating Morgenstern
(William H. Macy), and Carter becomes
involved in a surprising relationship.
