There is a new attending physician, Gabriel Lawrence.  He is an old teacher of Kerry Weaver's.  Elaine Nichols is having her mastectomy today.  Romano has a reporter coming to the ER to do an article.  He wants Corday to let her follow around the staff in the ER.  She gets in a lot of people's way and see a lot of interesting things.  Reece gets an ear infection and Cleo takes a look at him for Benton.  She tells him that things like that run in the family and was wondering if he had a lot of ear infections as a child.  Peter didn't, so he wonders if what Carla told him is true about Reece might not being his son.  Dr. Lawrence discharges one of Mark's patients and they tend not to get along.  Carter goes up to see Elaine, but she wants him to go away.  He tells her that he is there for her.  A man comes in looking for his cousin who has been shot.  They tell him that he can't go back there.  He goes back any ways.  The cousins heart rate starts going faster.  The boy can't talk, but he makes a gun signal from his hand.  His cousin is the one who shot him.  The man takes off and opens fire.  No one gets shot, but the man runs off after he runs out of ammo.  Jeanie and Reggie are on their way to get married and to go on their honey moon.  The nurses give her some gifts and Kerry tells her that she needs to speak to her in the lounge.  Jeanie goes in and they have baby Carlos.  They tell her that she can have him on a temporary basis.  Dr. Kovach and Lucy take care of a woman who is being abused.  They find out that it is her husband who has been hurting her.  They try to get her to press charges, but she won't.  Luka holds him until Psych can come down.  They are unable to do anything with the man if the woman doesn't want to press charges.  Luka makes him angry until he punches him.  Now the police can take over, but the man gets to leave with his wife anyways.  Dr. Lawrence makes a mistake with a young girl who has Sickle Cell disease.  Mark finds out and they have to run after the girl and her parents before the leave.  The 12 year old girl has an ectopic pregnancy and could have died.  Reggie and Jeanie go to a Justice of the Peace to get married.  They need two witnesses, but Randi  is the only one to show.  Kerry Weaver is suppose to be there.  They end up getting a U.P.S. guy to be the other witness.  Elaine's surgery goes well and she will get to go home tomorrow.  Kerry tells Dr. Kovach that he is no longer needed since Dr. Lawrence has arrived.  Kovach is walking home and Carol gives him a ride.  He lives on a boat.
