Cleo and Peter get woke up around 4 AM by the telephone ringing.  It is Kynesha calling asking for help.  Cleo gives the phone to Peter and he learns that she has ran away from the half-way house where she was staying.  She has ended up on the side of the road and Peter tells her that he will go pick her up.  Cleo tells Peter that they are never going to be able to get rid of her.  Mark and Elizabeth are back at home.  Elizabeth is having a hard time sleeping, so Mark comes downstairs to check on her.  She is worried about her lawsuit and a meeting has been called.  Peter goes to pick Kynesha up and there are some guys there with her.  They do not want her to get into the car with Peter, and when she does, they bust out his back window.  He speeds off.  All Kynesha wants to do is find something good to listen to on the radio.  Luka and Abby are on their way in to work.  She is tired of staying at the hotel and would like to have Luka come stay with her sometime.  Abby sees Carter and she asks him if he has told Weaver about the drug incident yet.  He is going to be getting his evaluation today, so he tells her that he will let Kerry know then.  A Catholic Bishop has taken a fall and is being brought in by ambulance.  Malucci and Luka assist him.  Kynesha tells Peter that she will take care of the broken car window.  She has taken a shower and seems interested in Peter.  She wants to stay with him.  Peter tells her that she is just a kid and to quit talking like that.  Weaver tends to a man who is having women troubles.  He has not been with one in a long time and seems depressed about it.  Kerry has him remove his shirt and she sees that he has a pair of scissors stuck inside of his chest.  Kerry is asked if she wants to call psych., but she says that she will deal with him herself.  Elizabeth goes to Romano's office for her meeting, but she is told that the meeting has been canceled.  Her lawyer is already there.  They tell her that they settled the lawsuit because of some faulty equipment.  This does not make Elizabeth feel any better.  A woman comes in with a sick stomach.  Carter tells her that she will have to wait, but she then throws up on him and is getting worse.  She starts to vomit blood.

Luka is taking care of the Bishop.  He asks Luka about his accent and Luka tells him that he is from Croatia.  He is then asked if he is Catholic, and Luka tells him that he is not.  Carter gives the woman with an upset stomach an ultrasound and he sees something.  He ends up pulling up a condom full of cocaine out of her stomach.  Kim comes to see Kerry and asks her why she didn't call for a psych. consult on the depressed man that stabbed himself.  She should not have let the man go home.  Kim tells her that she does not want what happened between the two of them to affect the patient's care.  Carter learns that the woman who had tried to smuggle the cocaine was doing it to try and get back home.  Malucci speaks with the Bishop.  He is asking him about celebacy and being a bishop.  He does not see how they can do that.  Luka talks the bishop into walking with a cane.  Carter gets an excellent evaluation from Weaver.  A multi-victim accident comes in, so he is not able to tell her about his drug incident.  A husband, wife and daughter are in an accident.  The father is dead at the scene, but the mother and daughter are brought in.  Elizabeth is called to come down and assist in the ER.  She gets on the elevator and Mr. Patterson is in it.  He is the man that she paralyzed and was suing her.  He tells her that he just can't forgive her.  She is very apologetic, but she has to get back to work.  The woman from the accident is being brought in and she ask about her husband.  They tell her that they do not no anything for sure yet about his condition.  The woman is going to need surgery, so Luka wants her to see her daughter before she leaves to go to the ER.  The little girl, Amy, sees her mother and then she crashes.  The mother is taking up to the OR for Elizabeth to operate on.  They lose Amy's pulse, but they frantically work on her.  Elizabeth is going to have to perform the operation alone and she is very nervous about it.  Dr. Legaspi comes down to the ER and she wants to admit the woman who swallowed the cocaine.  Carter thinks that it is a good idea, but Kerry would rather turn it over to the authorities.  Kerry and Kim exchange some harsh words and they walk off from each other.  Luka is unable to save Amy and they call the time of death at 1:47 PM.  The drunk man that hit the family is being brought in.  He does not seem to know the damage that he has caused.  Luka and Abby tend to him.  They are going to have to insert a tube down his throat and Abby offers to spray the throat first, but Luka seems to want to cause the man a lot of pain.  He roughly inserts it as the man shrugs in pain.  Peter has Kynesha meet with him at Doc Magoo's.  He has also asked Adele Neuman to meet with them.  Adele would like her to go into foster care, but Kynesha is not crazy about the idea, so she walks out.  Adele chases after her.  Elizabeth is having a hard time doing the liver surgery.  She can not control the bleeding, so she has Shirley get Dr. Romano.  The drunk guy that hit the family had three D.U.I.'s and a revoked license.  This makes Luka even angrier.  Romano comes in to help Elizabeth.  He is not happy about being called out from his lunch.  Elizabeth apologizes and leaves, as Romano tells her that she had better not walk out, she walks out anyway.  Mark comes in and visits in the ER before his radiation therapy.  He and Luka share some small talk, before Mark lies down on the staff sofa to rest.  Luka sees that the bishop is in the room with the drunk man.  He is giving him his last rights and Luka tells the bishop that he should leave.  Abby sees Carter and ask him how the evaluation went.  He tells her that it went great, but he did not tell Kerry what had happened.  She tells him that she can no longer sponsor him.  Cleo goes up to see Mrs. Hembrick after her surgery.  She has to tell her that her daughter did not survive.  

Luka learns from the bishop that Kevin Poole, the drunk man that killed the man and his daughter, died.  Luka tells him that he should have been with the little girl and not the drunk man.  The bishop tells him that God was with that little girl.  Carter sees Weaver on her way out and he tells her that he needs to speak with her in the lounge.  They go to the lounge and he tells her about his taking the 2 pills.  She doesn't seem to concerned about it after he tells her that he had vomited them up and not digested them.  She tells him that she will think about it and let him know what she will do about it later.  She tells him to continue to go to his meetings.  Cleo and Peter go back to her place to find that it has been trashed.  Cleo is very upset about it and Peter offers to clean it up for her.  Kerry finds Kim at Doc Magoo's.  She wants to apologize for how she had spoken to her earlier.  Kerry tells her that she has missed being with her.  Kim tells her that things will be back to the way it was before long.  Kerry tells her that she don't want it that way.  She tells her that she may want more than a friendship after all.  Peter helps Cleo clean her place up.  While they are picking up, Peter tells her that he loves her.
