It is 2:45 am and Carter gets woken up by two of the students that live where he is an R.A. at.  They have locked themselves out of their room.  Peter goes to see Elizabeth early in the morning.  She is acting very suspicious and seems upset that he has shown up unannounced.  A man comes out of the bathroom or the bedroom and Peter looks confused.  She introduces Peter to her father, Dr. Charles Corday.  Carter gets woke up again.  This time it is because the toilet is over flowing.  Doug is excited about his suspension being over.  He tells Kerry that now he is a free man.  She tells him that she was tired of baby sitting him anyways.  Just as Carter is getting ready to get back into his bed, the phone rings.  It is his father asking about his living condition.  Carter tells him that he has not turned his back on his family and that he likes supporting himself.  His job as an R.A. is a big deal to him.  Carol comes down the hallway and is very excited.  She has been approved to have a full time salaried R.N. for her free clinic.  Mark has Carol help him learn the EMS computer system.  Peter goes to breakfast with Elizabeth and her father.  Her father is trying to talk her into joining his medical practice.  Romano comes in and he comes and apologizes to her for having to let her go and not continuing her fellowship.  Romano wants her to use the A.E.S.O.P. procedure and he wants to watch it.  This is a robotic procedure that he is not approved to do, but Elizabeth is.  She agrees to let him watch and she asks her father to watch also.  Nobody at Peter's table seems to be very fond of Romano, not even Elizabeth's father.  Lucy helps Doug with a young patient with a high fever.  Doug tells her that he does not have any sweat glands and it is hard for the child to get cooled off.  Mark has two people come in with gun shot wounds.  One of them has attacked Doris, the paramedic, and she is bleeding.  She is going to be okay though.  Toine will need a colostomy and BG laughs about him being shot in the backside.  He was shot in the head.  Mark cleans her up.  Carter comes in and he talks to Kerry about his salary request.  She tells him that she has approved it and he seems happy about it.  He tells her that he wants to be a chief resident someday and she tells him to teach his student, Lucy, well.  Mark goes to see Rachel at her soccer game.  She gets injured, but she is okay.  Carol has a patient, Rob Savage, who comes in having trouble urinating.  He seems to want to light a cigarette up, but Carol tells him that he can not do that in the ER.  One of the guy's that was brought in with a gun shot wound has a visitor.  It is his girlfriend.  As they are talking, another one of his girlfriend's come in.  They start to fight and Kerry kicks them outside.  As they are out there, one stabs the other.  Carter asks Lucy to draw blood from her.  She tries, but didn't do it right.  Carol helps her again.  Lucy thanks her this time.  Carol tells her that she doesn't have to be perfect.  Carol tells Carter to keep his eye on Lucy, she is just a beginner.  Corday and Romano have an audience for their robotic heart procedure.  A man comes in to see Doug.  He wants him to do the same thing he did for baby Josh.  He wants to have a rapid detox.  Doug tells him that he can not do it and refers him to someone who can, but he gets mad about it.  Kerry tells him that this is what happens when you do something like that without consent.  Carol asks Lucy to give her patient an IV.  This is the patient who is having a hard time urinating.  A thirteen year old karate student is brought in after his instructor kicked him in the chest during a demonstration.  The young boy dies.  Carol learns from her patient's "private nurse" that he likes pain inflicted on him.  This is why he has been giving Carol such a hard time.  Carol runs to the room and tells Lucy to quit treating him.  Peter takes Reese to a hearing screening and learns that he is deaf and will need hearing aids.  Doug learns that his patient has an illness due to a birth defect.  His mother had an STD while she was pregnant and passed it along to the child.  Doug does what he always does and flies off the handle.  He finds the child's mother and fusses at her about it.  She tells him that he does not know what he is talking about, she adopted the baby.  Lynette Evans comes down looking for Carol.  Anspaugh has sent her about the position in the clinic.  She tells Carol that she wants to be her Nurse Practitioner and that she can write prescriptions.  She ran the clinic at Southside.  Carol sees how she handles a disrespectful patient and hires her on the spot.  Doug goes up to see  Dr. Alexander Babcock.  He wants to know if he has heard from baby Josh and how he is doing.  Elizabeth tells her father that she has decided to start over as an intern, so that she can stay in the states.  Peter and Reese are home and Peter puts some music on, but Reese is still unresponsive to hearing it.
