NBC Review

A FRESH START -- Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) tries to overcome his frustration at being once again considered a first-year intern and having to run his cases by Dr. Doyle (Jorja Fox), while his new medical student (guest star Chad Lowe, 'Life Goes On') keeps disappearing to work on research. Dr. Elizabeth Corday (Alex Kingston) begins working with Dr. Benton (Eriq La Salle) on trauma cases. With one hurdle cleared for Benton's baby, he and Carla (Lisa Nicole Carson) finally give their son a name. Dr. Ross (George Clooney) and Nurse Hathaway (Julianna Margulies) continue their renewed romance. After interviewing several candidates for the new desk clerk position, Dr. Greene (Anthony Edwards) impulsively hires a young woman (guest star Mariska Hargitay, 'Prince Street'). While Dr. Morgenstern (William H. Macy) awaits angioplasty, Dr. Weaver (Laura Innes) becomes Acting Chief of Emergency Services and wastes no time making administrative changes. Gloria Reuben and Maria Bello also star.
