Two detectives have showed up at Kim Legaspi's place and they meet Kerry Weaver as she steps outside to pick up the morning paper.  They ask her if she is Dr. Legaspi and she tells them no.  They ask to come in.  Abby is awoken by Luka too early in the morning for her.  He tells her that he is looking for a new place for them in the warehouse district.  She is not too thrilled about it.  He tells her that she is not a morning person and she throws a pillow at him.  Carter wakes up after being greeted by a black dog.  He is startled and then realizes that he has spent the night with Rena.  She tells him that Norman, the dog, must really like him.  Rena's room-mate doesn't seem to be too happy about Carter and Rena making too much noise all night.  Rena fixes Carter eggs for breakfast and they make plans to meet at the hospital later for lunch.  The detectives ask Kim about Shannon Wallace.  She is the young woman who caused the train derailment while trying to commit suicide in "The Crossing" episode.  Kerry sneaks out as they question Kim in the other room.  Mark and Elizabeth are on their way into work.  She is doing a lot better and has not had any contractions in two weeks.  Amira and Jing-Mei tease Carter about receiving a gift basket from Rena.  Kerry sees Kim at work and learns that the detectives were questioning her because of a complaint.  Shannon Wallace is accusing Kim of sexual harassment.  She told the detectives that when Kim was examining her mental status, that she made a move on her.  Kerry knows better, but is worried that the news might get out that she and Kim are a couple.  An elderly woman comes in to one of the curtain areas and takes a seat on a gurney.  Mark asks her if he can help her, but she says that it is not necessary.  She tells him that she is dieing.  She read it in the tarot cards.  She takes Mark's hand and begins to read his palm.  She tells him that he has a crack in his lifeline.  She then tells him that she will be dead by sundown.  Luka and Kerry are working on a patient when one of the detectives come in to question her.  He asks her what her relationship is with Dr. Legaspi and she replies that they are colleagues.  He then wants to know why she was at her apartment so early in the morning.  She tells him that she doesn't have any time for his questions and then walks out of the room.  Luka has listened to the conversation and Kerry begins to worry about gossip and rumors.  Elizabeth sees that Peter has pretty much taken over her duties while she has been out on leave.  She finds Dr. Romano and tells him that she is ready to begin doing her job again.  He puts her on light duty by having her get files together for a Q and A.  A woman, Mrs. Jeffrey's, brings in her sick baby girl.  Luka and Abby tend to her.  Kerry speaks to Luka privately about what he may have overheard in the conversation with the detective.  Kerry gets called to Romano's office.  When she arrives, Kim is on her way out after being questioned.  Malucci takes care of a young man, in a green cape, who is a basement wrestler.  He has sliced his forehead with a razor.  Mark finds it to be a very stupid act.  Romano tells Kerry that she will have to meet with him, Kim, and Anspaugh later for an emergency disciplinary hearing regarding the allegations about Kim.  He wants to know if she has noticed any inappropriate behavior between her and the other ladies in the hospital, and she tells him that this is just a witch hunt.  Carter meets Rena in the cafeteria for lunch.  He learns that she is an undergraduate and that she will be 20 in September.  Carter is shocked that he has slept with a teenager.  He goes to the ER and asks Abby if he can speak with her for a moment.  Abby is watching baby May while the mother takes a break.  She leaves the baby for a moment to speak with Carter.  Carter tells her the situation with Rena and Abby finds it to be amusing.  The baby's mother sees Abby and asks her if her baby has been taken to another area and Abby tells her know.  When she returns to the room, the baby is gone.  The mother becomes frantic and Abby begins to search all over for the missing baby girl.  A policeman questions Abby as Dr. Legaspi tries to calm the mother down.  Kim learns that the woman is divorced.  Abby tells the police that they should quit asking so many questions and start looking for the baby.  Kerry speaks with Kim about her meeting with Romano.  Kim sees that Kerry is more concerned about being labeled as a lesbian, that concern for Kim's job.  Mark speaks to the wrestler about taking steroids, after Malucci tells him not to.  The wrestler ends up in a rage and knocks Mark down.  The wrestler runs out and Malucci goes after him.  The wrestler has been taking steroids and is afraid that his father will be upset and mad about it.  Malucci suspects that he is being abused, so he talks the boy into coming back in.  He tells him that he will not call his father if he comes in and lets them take care of his hand.  Mrs. Jeffreys holds a news conference.  Abby can't handle much more, so she goes outside to have a smoke.  Luka comes out to check on her.  She tells him to leave her alone.  He does not listen and continues to tell her that everything will be okay and to come back inside.  Mark and Malucci have a confrontation after he learns that Mark called for the wrestler's father to come in.  Malucci had given the boy his word that they would not do that.  Malucci tells Mark that the old Dr. Greene would not have done that.  Mark tells him that he is still the same as he was before the tumor.  Malucci tells him that maybe there is something about his competency in treating patients.  Mark tells him if he keeps it up, he will be out of a job.  Malucci goes in to check on the wrestler.  He sees that the father is being verbally abusing and he asks to speak with him out in the hall.  They begin to argue and Malucci head-butts him.  Abby is having a hard time concentrating on her patients.  She can't keep her mind off the mother and the missing baby.  She hears a call on the radio.  They have found a baby that was abandoned on the El platform.  They bring the baby in and it is the missing girl.  Abby is relieved.  Mark sees Malucci and tells him to go home and not to come back for the rest of the week. Kerry is on her way to the disciplinary meeting when she sees Mark and Elizabeth on their way out.  She hands him an envelope and tells him that she meant to give it to him earlier.  It is form the competency testing Mark took.  He reads the results and then tears it up.  Elizabeth is disappointed.  He then tells her that he passed.  Carter sees Rena and tells her that she is too young for him to date.  She seems to understand.  Kerry arrives at the meeting.  Anspaugh, Romano, and Kim are already there.  Anspaugh seems to support what Kim did.  He knows that she is not guilty of the accusations.  Romano seems to disapprove.  He asks Kerry what her opinion is.  Kerry is too afraid to speak the truth regarding their relationship, but she does account for Kim's good work.  This is not enough for Romano, so he tells Kim that she will be on administrative leave until all this is settled.  Kerry tries to apologize to Kim, but Kim is not ready to accept it.  Abby sees Mrs. Jeffreys.  Abby tells her that she would like the baby to stay overnight for observation.  Abby has pulled some strings and gotten them a private room where she can stay with her baby.  Abby asks her if there is anything else that she needs, and she replies " I have everything I need" in regards to having her baby back.

TV Guide Review

March 1, 2001: Witch Hunt: A baby is taken from the hospital; detectives and administrators question Legaspi about a patient's charges; Carter finds out his date's true age.

TNT Review

After Abby leaves the room for a second, an infant disappears from the hospital. After spending the night at her place, Carter is shocked to find out that Rena is a 19-year-old undergraduate. Greene gets his competency results--he passed (was there ever any doubt?). Malucci and Mark treat a young boy injecting steroids who is frightened of his father. Legaspi has been accused of sexual misconduct by the teenager who caused the train crash. Weaver is more concerned with hiding their relationship, so Kim dumps her.
