Elizabeth
runs home to pick up some papers that she
needs for work. She walks in and finds
David Greene standing in his boxer shorts and
her slippers on. He had spent the night
there with her mother. He had told Mark
that he was going on a fishing trip.
Jing-Mei is working on Carter's and Lucy's
charts. Malucci wants to know if he can
help, but she tells him know. Luka is on
his way home and almost runs over a little
girl. She looks at him and she finishes
crossing the street. She is then hit by
another car. Luka looks at the driver of
the other car and he runs off. He gets
out and helps the little girl. He gets a
plumber to drive them to the ER instead of
waiting for an ambulance to arrive. He
attempts to do a needle thorocostomy, but
nicks an artery and causes lots of internal
bleeding. Elizabeth tells Mark about his
father and her mother and he responds by
laughing. Abby takes care of a man with
bleeding hemorrhoids. She has a gut
feeling that there is more wrong with him, but
Kerry does not want her to do any expensive
test. She goes behind Kerry's back and
does the test anyways. Carol checks out
two teen age girls that are afraid that they
may have an STD. She tells them that she
is legally obligated to keep the results
confidential so they agree to be examined and
tested. One of the girls end up having
cervical cancer and Carol has to tell the
school where the girl attends so that the boy
spreading the disease around can be stopped.
She finds out about this and the girl
overdoses on some pills. Jing-Mei goes
up to go over his charts with him. She
asks him how he is feeling. He asks her
how Lucy's memorial service went and she tells
him that it was kind of weird. He is in
a lot of pain, but he does not want anybody to
know. The little girl that was hit by
the car went up to surgery and is going to be
okay. Luka sees a man being stitched up
and he recognizes him. It is the man
that hit the little girl and ran. He
calls the police. Abby's patient is
discharged per Kerry, but Abby tells him that
it might be best if he came back in a few
minutes with a flu type problem, so that
he can be seen by someone else. He does
come back and he is bleeding really bad.
Kerry tells Abby that it is lucky he came
back. She had saved his life.
Lucy's mother, Barbara Knight comes in to
clean her locker out. She then goes
upstairs to visit with Carter. She
thanks him for all that he did for Lucy.
He tells her that she was better than he ever
gave her credit for. She wants to know
how it felt when he was stabbed. He lies
by saying that it was quick and that there was
no pain. This helped to ease Lucy's
mother's mind. Carol and Kerry end up
pumping the stomach of Andrea after her
overdose. Carol feels a little guilty
for having to notify the school about her
condition. Mark goes up to radiology to
look at his father's chest x-ray. It
isn't very good at all. He sees that his
father has lung cancer and it has spread to
his liver. Mark's dad has already known
this for a while now.

they discover that their parents (guest stars
