Luka wakes Abby up by grinding coffee beans.  She has been sleeping on his couch.  Luka checks her eyes to see if it is healing okay.  Carter goes by Susan's place, but she does not answer the door.  As he leaves, she walks up the sidewalk.  She has been out all night.  He was meeting her to go to a yoga class.  She tells him that she was at Mark's.  This makes Carter very jealous, especially after she tells him that she slept on Mark's sofa.

Carter and Susan are on their way in to work.  He is still having a hard time understanding what Susan was doing spending the night at Mark's house.  Susan tells Carter that she and Mark are just friends and that he has nothing to worry about.  Carter tells Susan that she would be just as jealous and upset if he had spent the night at another woman's house.  Susan mentions Abby, but Carter tells her that he was going to mention Darla in Radiology.  Susan doesn't believe that Carter was going to mention Darla, she knows he was going to say Abby.  Susan tells him that she would have been upset if he would have stayed the night at Abby's place.  She knows that Carter has an attraction to Abby, unlike her and Mark.  She tells him that Mark is like a brother, but Carter still doesn't think so.  Just as they arrive at the ER, Kerry stops them to tell them that they have a patient being brought in.  Michael Gallant is on his way in to work also.  Dr. Chen, Chuny and Yosh are gossiping about Dr. Greene and Corday.  They are feeling one another in on what they have heard about their separation.  "The Mistress of Pain" is with her client, who is in a hood.  He was injured while under her care and this is the patient that Carter and Susan are checking on.  He was injured after he fell from her torture swing.  His problem is with his back.  Abby and Malik are assisting the doctors.  Dr. Kovac has come to see what all the fuss is about.  Carter notices that the woman has a dislocated finger, but she does not want to leave the room with all of her "supplies" still there.  She wants Carter to fix the finger right there, but he tells her that it is going to be painful.  She doesn't seem to mind.  Carter pops the finger back into place and the woman doesn't even flinch.  The woman follows her hooded client up to x-ray.  Susan sees that the woman has left her bag of goodies behind, so she and Abby have a bright idea to peek inside of it.  Carter and Kovac tell them that they had better not get inside the bag, but the girls do not listen to them.  They rummage through the bag and all of them get involved in what they see.  Just has everyone is caught with items from the bag, Kerry walks in to the room.  She is shocks at what she sees.  She can not believe what they have done and how they have involved Gallant in all of it.  Kerry is concerned about a lawsuit being filed and then really gets more upset to find out that the items belonged to a patient.  Kerry tells them that she will have to go to Human Resources about all of this.  Kerry leaves them and then heads into the next room to chew Gallant out.  Carter and Luka thank Abby and Susan for getting them involved.    Abby sees Gallant and asks him if he is okay.  Gallant seems angry that he had to get mixed up in their shenanigans.  Susan sees Kerry in the break room and tells her that she is the one who started the whole thing by opening the bag.  She wanted to let her know that before she heads up to HR to tell them what had happened.  Kerry opens her locker and an item from the bag is in it.  This apparently angers Kerry even more.  Abby is looking for a room 224.  When she finds it and opens the door, Gallant, Carter, Susan and Luka are there.  Carter tells her that she is late.  They are there for a lecture on Sexual Harassment and it is suppose to last all day.  Carter is apparently very upset that he has to be there.  He reminds Abby and Susan that it is their faults that they are all there.  Susan then jokes about what Kerry found in her locker.  They all wonder who it was that put it there.

The group of five are still waiting in room 224 for the teacher to arrive.  Susan is looking at the chalkboard and wonders if the writing on it is from Whitman.  Abby tells her that she knows Whitman and Susan is surprised to hear it.  Abby takes offense to her surprise.  Carter does not want to keep waiting for the teacher to arrive.  Gallant wants them to stay.  Carter tells him that this is not the Marines and Gallant tells Carter that he is in the Army, not the Marines.  Luka agrees with Gallant that they should all wait for the teacher to arrive.  Abby and Susan discuss the reality TV Shows that they like to watch.  Abby likes watching Survivor and Susan tells them that she likes watching Fear Factor.  Carter can not believe that anyone would want to watch that sort of television.  Abby tells Carter to shut up.  Susan knows why Carter is in such a bad mood.  She knows that he is still upset about her spending the night at Mark's house.  Susan tells Abby all about it and explains that Mark once had a crush on her, but that they are only friends.  Carter still wants to know why she spent the night, but Susan will not tell him.  Luka announces that Abby has been sleeping on his couch.  Everybody's ears and eyes open wide.  Abby tells them that it is only until she gets a new place to stay.  Susan tells Carter that he is probably more upset about that than he is with her having spent the night at Mark's.  Susan tells Abby that Carter has not gotten over her yet.  Carter tries to change the subject and talk about football, but nobody seems to be interested.  Abby and Gallant discuss him being in the Army.  He tells her that he is in the Army Reserves and that they are paying for his medical school.  Abby tells Gallant that Luka was in the Army and that she has a brother in the Air Force.  This opens up the conversation for Gallant.  He tells the group that he has six siblings and that all, but two of them are in the service.  His brother, Steve is only fourteen and he has a twin sister who has cerebral palsy.  Gallant asks Susan about her father and she jokes that he is a test pilot for a lounging chair and that he is trying to keep his cholesterol above 400.  This makes the group laugh.  Luka tells the group that his father is a painter.  He is an artist and not a house painter.  He pays the bills by being a train conductor.  Abby had no idea and Luka tells her that it is because she had never asked.  Abby tells them that she has no idea what her father does.  Everyone's attention goes to Carter when Gallant asks him about his father.  Susan tells them that his father is loaded.  They all try to guess how much Carter is worth, but he will not tell them.  Abby can't understand why Carter hasn't married someone yet and he replies that his Gamma had a gold digger alarm implanted in him when he was born.  Susan can't believe that she hasn't set the alarm off yet.  The group seems resentful that Carter had such an easy life, but he says that it wasn't always easy.  The rest of them grew up happy, even though they did not have a lot of money.  A woman comes in to the room and they all give her their attention.  She tells them that Dr. Taylor has been delayed and that he has asked them to wait for him to arrive.  The group seems less than enthused.

Carter has found a locked door in the room and is wondering what could be behind it.  Abby has left the room and returned with some snacks from the vending machines.  They all begin discussing a play and Luka knows it.  He explains what the play means and they all find it very depressing, especially Susan.  Carter jokes about how bad it is overseas and Luka defends his homeland.  He tells them that Croatia is safe now and Carter wonders why he came to America then.  Luka tells them that he came to America because of the BBQ.  Susan wonders how Luka got inside of Kerry's locker.  He tells her that it was not him.  Carter tells them that it must have been Susan, but she denies that it was her.  Gallant tells them that he minored in English Literature at Howard University.  Abby tells them that she did also, but it was at Penn State.  Susan looks surprised about Abby went there.  Abby asks Susan if she thought she just went to a community college because she was just a nurse.  She tells all of the doctors there in the room that they are all the same.  Gallant tells her that he doesn't feel the same way about doctors thinking that they are smarter than nurses.  Abby assures him that after he is finished with medical school that he will be the same way as the others.  She compares it to a social class status and says that they feel the same way about families in the military.  Gallant has to agree with her about that.  She tells them that she was second in her class when she was in medical school.  Carter tells them all that Abby was kicked out of medical school because her ex-husband, Richard, did not pay the bills.  Abby corrects Carter by telling them that she made a choice not to finish medical school.  She would rather be a nurse and have time with the patients instead of being a doctor who has to see so many more patients in a day.  Carter finally opens the locked door.  He finds fencing equipment in the closet.  Carter tells them that he use to fence in school and Luka tells him that he knows how to also.  Luka tells them that he learned while is was acting in college.  The girls are not impressed about Carter and Luka fencing.  Susan mentions to Abby that she knows that she has slept with both Luka and Carter.  Abby quickly tells her that she has not slept with Carter.  Abby tells Susan that Carter made that story up.  Susan tells Abby that she has not slept with Carter either.  Abby shares with Susan the second date theory.  Susan is not sure about her chemistry with Carter and she tells Abby that she thinks it is because Carter is interested in her.

Carter and Luka continue to fence and things are getting rough.  Luka and Carter act as if they are going to kill each other.  Carter ends up getting cut on the arm by Luka's sword.  Luka is ready to stop, but Carter wants to continue.  Carter cuts Luka on his back and Abby and Susan are watching on.  They do not think they should continue fighting.  Luka ends up cutting Carter's face and he starts to bleed.  Carter is angry and goes after Luka.  The rest of the group pull them apart.  Susan tends to Carter and Abby tends to Luka.  Carter is going to be okay, but he is still angry with Luka.  Susan kisses Carter and tells him that it is for the second date rule.

The group is still waiting for Dr. Taylor to arrive.  Susan accuses Gallant of getting into Kerry's locker.  He denies it also.  Abby and Susan talk about where Susan was before she came back to Chicago.  Susan tells Abby about Arizona.  Abby can not understand why she would have come back.  Susan tells her that she was trying to get away from an old boyfriend.  She tells Abby that he was a cowboy.  Gallant and Luka talk about the service.  Abby wonders how old Luka was when he became a man.  Susan explains that she is asking him when he lost his virginity.  They are wondering who was the youngest in the room when they lost their virginity.  Abby admits that she was sixteen.  The guy's name was Howie Thomas.  Susan says that she was only fifteen and the guy's name was Floyd Walker.  Gallant chimes in and says he was only fourteen-years-old.  He lost his in church with Tonya McBride.  Carter tells them all that he was eleven when he lost his virginity.  He lost it with a twenty-five-year-old maid.  Everyone looks very surprised.  They ask him if they paid her and he says yes.  They were asking if the family paid her to have sex with him and he was replying that the family paid her for being a maid.  They then ask Luka and he is reluctant to reply, but he does.  He tells them that it was with his wife on their wedding night.  They are quiet when he answers and he tells them that they were in love and that it is okay to have mentioned it.  Susan then asks Luka about what acting he has done in college.  He tells them that he played Hamlet in Croatian.  It has been a long time and he can't seem to remember any of the lines.  Carter has done Hamlet also, so he starts to quote some lines.  He doesn't seem to be very convincing, so Luka interrupts and starts speaking them.  He does it in English and finishes up in Croatian.  He has Abby and Susan's complete attention.  Dr. John Taylor finally arrives.  The lecture is over and the group is heading out.  Luka wants to know if anyone needs a ride.  Gallant and Abby both have to go to work.  Gallant will walk to work with Abby.  Luka tells Abby that he will see her later.  Luka shakes Carter's hand and then he leaves.  Susan seems to really like Abby.  She tells Carter that she is pretty great.  Susan tells Carter to kiss her.  When he does, she doesn't feel any chemistry.  They mutually agree that things are not working out between them.  He jokes about Mark Greene being available, but she doesn't find it funny.  Susan tells Carter that he should tell Abby that he loves her.  Carter wants to know if they can still be friends and she jokingly tells him no and that she hates him.  Carter walks away and then turns around to tell Susan that he use to have Weaver's locker.  She never had the combination changed.  Susan is shocked and amazed that it was Carter who put the item in Kerry's locker.
