ready to name the baby. Mark tells
Carter that he will have to run all his cases
by Maggie. She has seniority over him
now. Carter gets his new med student.
His name is George Henry. He hasn't had

because he has been doing brain research.
Anna's student is a lot better, her name is
Chasity Lee. Mark and Carol interview
applicant's for the new desk clerk position.
Doug tells Anna that she needs see other

forgetting.. An elderly woman is brought
in. Her name is Estelle Webb and Jeanie

says that her sister has pushed her down the

is doing much better and can breathe on his
own. They decide to name him Reese
Benton. Jeanie has a social worker named
Thomas Anders to look at her elderly patient.
He tells Jeanie that Estelle's sister died in
1984. She thinks that everyone is trying
to hurt her. Carter gets his first
paycheck. Just as soon as he gets it,
Kerry takes it away from him. He had
told Kerry that if he got the position in the
ER, that they would not have to pay him.
