It is Halloween and a woman named Coco is brought in to the ER.  She says that she is pregnant and is talking out of her head.  Kerry is upset because she had sent out a memo telling everyone not to dress up in costumes, but they have anyways.  Mark and Carol check out Coco and she does not seem to be pregnant.  Peter is embarrassed by Elizabeth dressing up for Halloween.  He has something against wearing costumes.  She tells him that there must surely be something he always wanted to be as a child, and her replies a doctor, and he is one.  Doug has sent out a memo telling all the staff that he will need to sign off on all pediatric cases.  Carol tells him that his position has gone to his head.  Carter comes in to work and Roxanne is with him.  He tells her that he will be chaperoning a Halloween party at the dorm tonight.  She has somewhere else to go.  A drunk named Joe Chattarowski is brought in.  He wants to get cleaned up and detoxed.  Kerry sees Mark giving someone a tour of the ER.  She asks who he is and is told that it is the final candidate for the ER Chief position, Dr. Dan Litvak.  Mark checks on Coco and she has already filled a bag full of urine.  Mark thinks that she was just holding all the urine to make herself look pregnant, so he gives her haldol for her delusional condition.  Kerry learns from Mark that Dr. Litvak is on his second interview.  He will learn the results of the Chief position at the end of the day.  Lucy practices her IV skills on a fake arm.  Carter thinks that this is a good idea.  He tells her that she can do it on a real patient as soon as she can do it right.  Carla brings Reese by to show him off in his bumble bee costume.  The haldol has helped Mark's patient.  She tells him that she is a schizophrenic and is in her first trimester.  She went off of her medication so that she would not harm her unborn baby.  Mark wishes that he would have done a pregnancy test.  The haldol that was given to her could harm her baby.  Kerry and Peter work on a man .  He needs a sternum saw, but one is not available for the ER.  Jen is back in town and she will be coming by to pick Rachel up from Mark.  Carter tells Lucy that she can leave to get ready for the party, he follows behind her.  Joe , the drunk, is back in.  He had left earlier without being seen.  This time he is sure he wants the detox.  Kerry is taking  care of a little girl and she needs to draw some blood for a test.  The girl is afraid of needles.  Mark comes in and tells the father that there is an easier way.  A girl is brought in with her mother and father after a car accident.  She has to have surgery because of a seatbelt injury.  Her name is Barbie and she is dresses as a princess.  Lucy is dressed for the party and Carter tells her to look after it while he goes to the library.  Peter, Dale and Romano do surgery on Barbie.  Dale has Elizabeth take the specimen to the lab.  When she returns, she tells them that they biopsied what seems to be two testicles.  Barbie is a boy.  The pediatric ER is packed full of kids.  Jeanie and Doug have their hands full.  Rachel tells Mark that they are moving to St. Louis.  Carter returns to the party and flaming furniture is flying around.  Lucy and most of the rest are drunk.  Carter tells them that the party is over.  Mark pulls some strings and finds a detox bed for Joe.  When they return to get him, they see that he has left again.  Dale talk's to Barbie's parents and tell them about her condition.  They are shocked.  Mark, Jen and Rachel go to Doc Magoo's.  Mark tells Jen that he knows about them moving and he does not want to fuss.  He tells her that they have done enough fussing.  Back at the party, Lucy sees another med student named Willy.  He has passed out and is unresponsive.  She tells the others to call 911 and she runs to get Carter.  Carter sees that he is not breathing and he does CPR.  He has taken liquid ecstasy and another student has taken it also.  They find him laying unconscious in the shower.  Mark has Al go find Joe.  He wants him brought back to detox.  Peter and Elizabeth are heading out for their date.  She runs to get her costume back on.   When she sees him outside, he has a convertible with hay in the back of it for her.  She has wanted to go on a hay ride.  He is dressed as Shaft and his nephew will chauffer them around.  Al returns with the drunk, but it is not Joe.  He has brought back Lloyd, who happens to be Jerry's cousin.  He is in a wheelchair and has bandages and other stuff from the ER on him.  Jerry had left it outside for him for a costume.  Kerry compliments Doug on how he has handled the Pediatric ER.  Lucy and Carter are back with the two students.  She wants to help with them, but Carter will not let her because she has been drinking.  Kerry gives Jerry a bill for $289.00 for the supplies he gave Lloyd from the ER.  He tells her that it will be hard for him to pay, but she does not care.  Mark tells Kerry that Dr. Litvak has been chosen as the new Chief.  He tells Kerry that he had voted for her though.  She turns around and tears up the bill she gave Jerry.  She could care less now about how the ER gets managed.  Lucy is waiting to speak with Carter when he returns home.  She tells him that it was hard for her to keep track of what was happening at the party.  He tells her that he should have known that she was unable to handle such as that.

NBC Review

NIGHT OF DISCOVERIES -- It's Halloween night, and with the pediatric ER filled to capacity, Dr. Ross (George Clooney) struggles to juggle administrative duties with his desire to personally treat each child. Meanwhile, Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) leaves Lucy (Kellie Martin) in charge of a Halloween party at the dorm that gets out of hand, and the new ER Chief is Dan Litvak (guest star Philip Casnoff, 'Sinatra'), an arrogant doctor from the East Coast who has already managed to offend some staffers. Dr. Greene (Anthony Edwards) and Hathaway (Julianna Margulies) learn the dreadful truth when they treat a schizophrenic woman (guest star Sheila Kelley, 'L.A. Law') who claims to be pregnant. What began as a surgical procedure to remove tumors from a young girl turns into a shocking discovery for Dr. Benton (Eriq La Salle) and Dr. Corday (Alex Kingston). Various costumed ER staffers get into the spirit of the holiday. Gloria Reuben and Laura Innes also star. Yvonne Zima guest-stars as Greene's daughter, Rachel.
