It has really been raining all day and a nursing home has caught on fire.  Some of the people are brought to the ER.  Kerry has everyone called in that is off.  Peter tells Jackie about Carla telling him that Reece may not be his.  Carol goes to see Meg at the pharmacy where she helped her get a job.  She finds her out back with a shady looking character.  Meg doesn't have much to say to her.  Andrew, a desk clerk, comes down to help in the ER.  Gabe comes in to work.  Haleh helps Malucci diagnose a patient with pneumonia.  Weaver wants Jeanie to come in to work.  Mark is blown to the floor from a gas explosion in the ER.  He is okay, but someone left a burner on in the suture room.  Dr. Finch seems to be the last one who used it.  The nurses find a pair of glasses in the freezer.  They happen to belong to Dr. Lawrence.  Kerry is concerned, so she goes to Gabe's previous employer to ask about him.  She learns of his condition and that he may cause harm to his patients.    Kerry tells Mark about it and tells him that it would be too hard for her to fire him.  Benton gets Reece and takes him into an empty exam room to do there DNA testing.  Carol gets Reggie's help by staking out the back of the pharmacy.  They catch Meg buying drugs and she and the drug dealer are arrested.  Meg sees that Carol is in the police car and she cusses her out.  Malucci learns that Finch could be fired because of the explosion.  He tells Kerry that there is a chance that he was the last one to use the burner.  She tells him that it was a gas explosion and not his fault, but for him to be more careful from now on.  Kerry and Mark use a worker from the hospital to act like a patient of Dr. Lawrence that he has forgotten about.  Mark tells him that he has forgotten about her and he writes her a prescription.  Kerry pulls him to the side and he sees the lady taking off her bandages, she is okay.  Gabe feels very betrayed and mad, so he storms out.  Jeanie comes in to see what Kerry needed.  She tells her that she is quitting because she wants to stay home with the baby.  She has never been happier.  Kerry tells her that she will always have a job there if she wants it back.  Benton takes Reece back to Carla.  He tells her that there was no need to see the results of the DNA testing.  He knows Reece is his, "Please don't take my son away from me".  Carol gets a surprise baby shower.  Dr. Lawrence comes back to speak with Kerry.  He recites a long William Blake poem, "Peace of Wild Things"' that he learned 30 years ago.  He can't understand why he can remember that and not a patient he saw 15 minutes ago.  Kerry wants to get him help.  He already has seen a doctor and knows that he is bi-polar.  He breaks Kerry's heart and she cries.  Jeanie cleans out her locker and leaves.
