Carol waked Doug up, his shift is over.  They are still sneaking around.  Herb, Mark's lawyer, is finished playing doctor.  He tells Mark that he is clear from the Law family.  Kerry wakes up in Ellis West's hotel room.  A homeless blind man is brought in from a hit and run.  Peter and Anna are coming in and they rush to help with him as he is being pulled out of the ambulance.  Peter asks the blind man where it hurts and Peter then touches his head to hold him still.  As he does that the blind man starts to see.  He calls Peter a miracle worker.  Peter tells Anna that he was never blind in the first place.  Later on, he leaves the hospital to go "see" the world.  He tells all of his homeless friends about Peter.  Henry is worried about passing his clerkship.  He wants Carter to show him some emergency procedures.  Cynthia is upset because she has reached the limit on her credit card.  Mark offers to pay her balance as her Christmas gift.  Kerry and Jeanie are still at odds.  We meet a new paramedic named Dean Powell.  Carter shows Henry how to do a procedure on a man that has just died.  An older woman has been brought in.  She has been raped and beaten.  She has the word "Whore" written across her chest.  Mark is disturbed by this.  Elizabeth and Romano operate on Allison's leg.  Jeanie asks Kerry to help her get her meds, since she has forgotten and left her medicine at home.  Kerry helps and this also help's their friendship out.  Allison comes out of her coma, but she can not speak.  Elizabeth misses her trip to stay with her.  She tells Allison that her mother died in the auto accident.  Mark sees Cynthia wrapping toys.  She tells him that they are for her 5 year old son.  She doesn't get to see her son much, he lives with her ex-boyfriend.  Mark is surprised.  Carter's rich grandmother comes to the ER with her grandson Chase dressed as Santa.  She is there to see how Carol's clinic works.  A Christmas tree catches fire and Carol extinguishes it.  That causes the sprinkler system to come on over Carol's head.  Elizabeth is feeling guilty about Allison's condition.  Peter's "miracle" patient is brought back in.  He can not see and Peter's touch does not help him.  He is diagnosed with a brain tumor.  Carter catches his cousin Chase shooting heroin in the back of his grandmother's limo, but he does not tell "gamma".  Millicent Carter is so impressed that she gives Carol a check for $150,000 for the clinic. Mark goes to see the Law family.  He tells them that he is sorry about the death.  He learned that he would feel better if he would just forgive.  The rape victim taught him that forgiving is better.  Carol is tired of the secrecy that she tells the whole staff that she and Doug are together, but they all seem to have known it anyway, with the exception of Anna and Kerry.  Ross then announces in front of them all that he wishes for Carol to marry him.  Carter tells Henry that he has passed his clerkship.  Henry hugs Carter and Anna, but he also gives her a kiss.  Jeanie and Kerry are getting along better now.  Most of the ER staff go outside and start caroling the Christmas song, "Do you see what I see?".
