Carter gets woke up by the loud music coming from upstairs.  It is his new landlord, Kerry Weaver, she is listening to Grace Jones.  Carter tells her that he likes it.  She tells him that she is so glad to be 100% focused on medicine now that she does not have to worry about the management side of the ER.  Elizabeth has had no sleep and she is working a 36 hour shift.  Kerry comes in to work with a package waiting on her.  She received her sternal saw and she is the only one in the ER certified to use it.  She tells them to keep a look out for someone she can use it on.  Carol tells Doug that she isn't pregnant.  They are trying and this bothers her.  Doug takes care of a baby boy.  His mother and big sister are with him.  The mother depends on the big sister, Sky, to help out with the baby.  Jeanie helps to look after her.  Mark and the paramedics get called to a home where a man has had his head drilled, on purpose.  It is suppose to free the mind, but it also causes a lot of bleeding.  He refuses treatment, but lets them leave some medical supplies.  Lucy wants to speak to Carter about the way he has been treating her.  She tells him that maybe they can have lunch later.  Anspaugh walks around covered up in paperwork from the ER.  He is the interim chief until a replacement is named.  Lynette walks in on Carol trying to take her own blood for a test.  Carol asks her to do a fertility workup on her, but to keep it quiet.  Carter is struggling doing his student evaluation on Lucy.  Jerry has a confrontation with the paramedics in the lounge.  Paramedic Morales and Jerry almost have a fight, but Mark comes in a breaks it up.  Doug sedates the baby boy he is tending to and the anesthesiologist is not too thrilled about it.  He tells him that it is against hospital policy, but Doug thinks he is above policy.  He tests the boy for meningitis, but he does not have it.  Jeanie plays and talks with Sky while Doug tends to her baby brother.  Sky tells her that dolls are for babies.  Jeanie asks her how old she is and she replies that she is a big girl, she is six.  Elizabeth scrubs in with Anspaugh on a surgery, but he sees that she is tire and has her go get some sleep.  Carter borrows Lucy's palm pal without her permission, and he comes across a recording of herself complaining about the way he has been treating her.  Mark is back at the paramedics station and they show him a new coat that they have for him.  He will have to go through some hazing to get it though.  They want him to lie on the pool table on his back while they strap him on to a board, but Mark can not handle it.  He tells them to stop and they do.  Dr. Amanda Lee from Atlanta comes in for her interview for chief of the ER.  Carter finds Lucy and tells her to fill out her own evaluation, since she thinks he has been so hard on her.  He tells her to turn it in when she is done.  Dr. Corday is still very tired as she tends to her patients.  A patient she discharged the day before, Mr. Ramos, is back with a wound infection and a severe asthma attack.  She wants to give him magnesium,  She gives him 40 ccs at fifty percent and meant to give it to him at five percent.  This is too much medicine and he almost dies.  Peter goes to see Dr. Kotlowitz about doing a cochleal implant on Reese and he gets paged back to the hospital about Elizabeth's mistake.  A woman in a lot of pain comes in and she is pregnant.  Carol does an ultrasound on her to rule out an ectopic pregnancy, but she seems to be okay.  She tells the woman that she is going to have a baby girl.  Carol later learns that the woman was faking the pain, just to find out what the baby was going to be.  She has boys at home, but every time she is pregnant with a girl, she aborts them.  This makes Carol very angry, especially now that she is having a hard time herself to get pregnant.  Peter arrives at the hospital and he gets reprimanded for not looking after his intern, Elizabeth.  Mark meets with Lucy and Carter to figure out what they have been fussing about.  He asks Carter about her bad evaluation and Carter tells him that he had her feel it out.  He then wants to know why.  He can not work anything out between the two.  Kerry finally has a [patient come in that she can use the sternal saw on.  Dr. Anspaugh gets to see her use it and is very impressed.  Amanda speaks with Mark about his disinterest in her during the interview.  She would like to have a meal with him and convince that having her as chief would be a good idea.  Kerry tells Anspaugh that she harbors no hard feelings toward his decision to hire someone else as chief of the ER.  Mark stays the night at Doug and Carol's.  He tells hem that his apartment is having the asbestos cleaned out.  That is the same excuse he used the night earlier to stay at the paramedics station.
