Carter goes to see about getting a loan.  The loan officer isn't too impressed with him, especially since he can only show one tax return.  The officer can not give him a loan without a co-signer.  Morganstern comes to see Peter about the meeting concerning the death of Dr. Swanson.  We learn that Scott Anspaugh has died and his funeral is today.  Anna speaks with Carter and she tries to help him come up with some ways to earn some money.  She seems to think that it is funny.  Jeanie goes to Donald Anspaugh's house and they discuss the funeral service.  Scott has given her a box of his things.  It includes some CD's and old issues of Soap Opera Digest.  Peter, Morganstern, Kerry, Corday and other doctors go to the M & M regarding Dr. Swanson's death.  Peter tells his side of what happened and about why he had Dr. Morganstern step aside.  Dr. Kayson asks a few more questions and then they adjourn until after lunch.  An abortion clinic has been bombed and some of the patients are brought to the ER.  The clinic was also used as a prenatal center for expectant mothers.  Kerry and Anna are working with a woman, Brianna Thomas who is eighteen weeks pregnant.  She was in the middle of her abortion when the bombing happened.  Kerry tells Anna to finish the abortion, but she will not.  She walks out and Kerry does it.  A man brings in his elderly father, Mr. Newton, with a bladder infection.  He is severely dehydrated and unconscious.  Carter takes care of him.  His son does not want his father to have a lot of tests and he does not want a large hospital bill.  The son apparently has not been taking good care of his father.  The M & M starts back up and Morganstern has his time to tell what happened.  He says that Peter let his emotions get in the way of the patient.  They tell them that it will need further investigation.  Peter is suspended until further notice.  Doug takes care of a young mother, Zoe who is six months pregnant.  Her boyfriend, Donny watches concerned.  Carter calls Social Services to come look at his elderly patient.  They are going to place him in a home due to the neglect.  Anna takes care of a woman, Ms. Martinez, who was in the blast.  She was one of the protestors outside of the clinic.  Her ears are ringing and she has something in her eye.  She tries to tell Anna her views on abortion, but Anna would rather not listen to it.  She tells Anna that she is against violence.  Anna tells her that it is probably because of the protests that the clinic was bombed.  Doug's patient Zoe ends up in a coma.  The baby is okay, but a decision has to be made.  Peter comes down and tells Corday that he has been suspended.  The paramedics bring one of their trainees in after being caught in the ruble of the bombing.  It is Allison Beaumont, the patient Elizabeth had cared for after an automobile accident.  Romano and Corday work on Allison, but she stops breathing.  Elizabeth does CPR on her for a long time and Romano tells her to call the time of death.  She tells him no and continues to work with her.  Mark asks for Peter's help, but he tells him that he is on suspension.  Mark tells him that he is not suspended by the ER, so he helps.  Carter's elderly patient wakes up and wants to know where is son is.  Carter tells him that his son is no longer is guardian and this upsets him.  Carter tells him that he is just trying to help him.  Peter is able to help his patient and carries the patient to the OR.  When they arrive, Morganstern takes over and Peter leaves.  Zoe's parents come in to see her.  They do not want Donny around.  Kerry's patient, Brianna Thomas, thanks her.  This was not the first abortion she has ever had and probably will not be her last.  This seems to be the method of birth control she is using.  Doug tells Zoe's parents that they will need to make a decision.  They can do a c-section and take the baby early or keep the girl on life support and let the baby grow until the 9 months are over.  They do not want their daughter to be an incubator, but they want their daughter to be okay.  Allison made it through the surgery.  Jeanie sings at Scott's funeral.  It is a song that she heard him listen to and sing for a while, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Green Day.  She tells Donald Anspaugh that Scott was wanting to go into the Army when he got older, this seemed to help him understand his son.  Romano apologizes to Elizabeth about the way he behaved when Allison was brought in.  He invites her for a drink, but she declines.  Morganstern calls Kerry to his office.  He has the tape of Dr. Swanson's surgery.  He wants to confess that it was his fault.  He knows that he was covering up for his own mistake.  Zoe's parents decide to let the baby stay in their daughter until time for it to be born.  She is going to have a little girl.  They are going to try to get custody of it an they do not want Donny to have anything to do with it.  Carter changes his mind about his elderly patient going to the home, but it may be too late.  If they do not take him to a home, then charges will be filed against the son.  Morganstern catches up with Peter before he leaves.  He tells him the truth and that he is no longer suspended.  He also tells him that he has resigned as chief of Emergency Medicine.  Peter goes to see Elizabeth.  He tells her that he lost his mentor today and then they kiss.
