Kerry and Susan are still tending to the Alderman.  Susan tells him that he has a fractured leg and Kerry tells him that she will get the hospital's best orthopedic doctor on it.  The nurse in the room wants to know if a tox screen needs to be done first?  Susan and Kerry look at him and are surprised.  The nurse isn't really a nurse, but a reporter named Ray McGee.  He wants to know if the Alderman had taken any cocaine?  Susan and Kerry escort him from the room.  "Have you heard of the First Amendment?", he asks Kerry.  Kerry replies, "Have you ever heard of an awake Colonoscopy"?  Kerry tells him to return the scrub top to wherever it is he stole it from.

Susan tells Jerry to try and keep the fake nurses out of the ER.  Luka asks, "Fake nurses?  Don't we have enough trouble with the real ones"?  Luka has just come in for his night shift.  Carter has changed into his tux and is on the way to a fund raiser to hand out a check from the Carter family.  Abby has her dress in hand and tells him tat she will be ready in a minute.  Carter tells her that the next time, they will do whatever she wants to do.  She replies, Like what?  Miniature golf or bowling?  Something my people like to do"?  She is being sarcastic, but we can see that she has been insulted.  Chuny sees Carter and whistles at him for looking so nice.  He tells her that she had better quit.  That is sexual harassment and he may have to circulate a petition, he jokes.  Sarah Wilson has come to speak with Dr. Carter.  She tells him that she is there because he had called Dr. Mac's office.  He remembers and tells her about his diabetes.  She is really concerned about him and wants him to come visit him at his office.  He does not want to neglect his patients and will not come back to see Dr. Carter himself.

Mr. Callahan has been brought in and Gallant and Luka are tending to him.  Chuny runs and tells Carter that Jessie Callahan is crashing and he runs to her.  He tells Sarah Wilson to leave the address to Dr. McNulty's clinic at the front desk and he will go visit him.  Pratt and Susan are with Mrs. Hawkes who is having trouble breathing and has flu like symptoms.  She has her two young children with her.  She has pneumonia and will need to be admitted to the ICU.  She is concerned about her kids.  Pratt takes the kids to go get a soda, while Susan explains to her about her serious condition.  While Pratt is taking the kids to get a soda, he hears them mention an older brother named Doug, who is twenty-years-old, that does not live with them.  Mrs. Hawkes doesn't want to stay in the hospital.  She is worried about who will take care of the children.  Susan tells her that if she quits taking the medicine that they are giving her in the hospital, she will probably die.  Susan asks her if she has any relatives that they can call and she tells her that her husband died last year.  She does have an aunt who lives in Detroit that will come for the kids.  Pratt asks her if Doug can look after them and she tells him that she doesn't want him near her kids.

Luka is still with Mr. Callahan, who is still by his wife's side.  He can still hear her heart beating.  Luka tells him that she was deprived of oxygen for too long and that she is brain dead.  Luka tells him that she is gone.  He doesn't accept that and doesn't want to leave her there alone.  Romano comes and knocks on the window.  Luka goes to him.  He tells him to get his patient upstairs now.  There are already surgeons waiting.  Luka explains that he doesn't want to leave his wife.  Romano replies to Luka, "If he's not up there in ten minutes, he is going to take out his spleen"!

The Alderman and Kerry discuss health care.  Romano comes and speaks with him.  Romano is unusually friendly with him and tells Kerry to find him a private room.  The Alderman wishes to be treated just as any other of the patients.  Romano whispers to Kerry, "Get him a room" and then walks away.  As he leaves, the Alderman tells Kerry that he was on the committee that hired Romano.  Kerry sings Romano's praise and says that he is a great surgeon.  The Alderman replies, "It was tragic about his arm.  A lot of people down town wish that it would have been his head".  Kerry asks to speak with the Alderman alone, so Jennifer excuses herself to get a cup of coffee.  She tells him about the sore that was found.  He thought it might be syphilis and Kerry agrees with him that it is.  She will have to report it to the health department she tells him.  He would like it kept out of his medical record.  She tells him that medical records are private and that nobody will see them.  He replies that her records are private, but he is up for re-election and that his records will be public knowledge.  Kerry looks at him as he says, "You don't think everyone deserves some privacy"?

Mrs. Hawkes' son Doug has arrived and he acts as if he is high.  Pratt brings him in to see his mother.  She gets upset when she sees him.  She doesn't want him near her kids.  Rachel, her daughter, tells her that she wants him to stay.  Mrs. Hawkes starts to cough and spits blood on to her young son.  Susan tells them to get the kid's out of the room.  Susan reprimands Pratt for bringing Doug in there and not listening to the patient's request.

Kerry asks Jerry to call and cancel the labs on the Alderman.  Pratt apologizes to Susan.  He tells her that the aunt was located and she is sixty-nine- years-old and has MS.  She is not able to take care of the kids.  Susan and Pratt speak with Doug.  He is worried that he killed his mother and they tell him that she is okay.  She has an infection in her lungs and will need to stay in the hospital for about a week.  They asks him if there is anyone who can watch the kids?  He tells them that Aunt Sarah can't even feed herself.  He doesn't know of anyone else.

Abby and Carter are at the fundraiser.  Abby is enjoying the appetizers and Carter tells her to slow it down; if things go right, they can be out of there soon and eating real food.  She asks him how much money they are trying to raise and Carter tells her fifty-eight and that the Carter's are throwing in ten.  "Thousand", Abby asks?  "Million", Carter replies, to her amazement.  Carter tells her that Dr. McNulty's clinic is not too far around the corner from where they are.  "What do you think he would do with fifty-eight million", he asks her?  "Serve appetizers in his waiting room", she replies.  Carter's Gamma comes up and she introduces herself to Abby.  Carter reminds her that she has met Abby before.  Gamma tells them that Carter has a lot of friends and it is hard to keep up with so many.  She asks Carter to attend a Board Meeting in a few days.  Carter tells her no.  She tells him that she is stepping down as President and would like him to take his father's place as treasurer.  He wants to know how Jack is getting out so easy and she tells him that his father is going to be taking the place has president.  Carter tells her, "Thank you, but no thank you".

Kerry and Luka assess David and see that he has a lot of old bruising.  Malik comes in looking for Pratt.  He tells Kerry that Mrs. Callahan's potassium level is down and Kerry tells him what to give her.  Luka reminds them that she is a D.N.R. and shouldn't be treated.  Kerry tells Luka that it is a decision that her husband should be making, but since he thinks she is dead, it is now the decision of her and the other doctors.  Romano knocks on the window of the door and motions for Kerry.  He is upset to see that the Alderman is still waiting, five hours after arriving.  He wants to know why he wasn't put into a private room?  Kerry reminds him that the Alderman requested not to be treated any differently.  Romano yells that there should be two doctors and five nurses hovering over him every minute.  Kerry reminds him that they are short staffed and that there are only five nurses to cover the ER.  "Do it and do it now"!, he tells her.

Abby tells Carter that he was a little rude with his gamma.  Carter tells her to stay out of it.  He tells her that she is just trying to get him to quit his job.  Abby reminds him that she is just old and would probably like some help taking on some of her load.  "What exactly is the family business", she asks?  "Giving away money, cutting ribbons, waving to the common man", he tells her.  "It's Prince Charles without the castle".  Abby tells him that she doesn't know about that, she has seen his gamma's house.  He tells her not to tell him what to do with his life and he walks up on stage as they introduce him and he hands the giant check to the lady.

Luka is rolling David out in the hall to go for more test.  David asks if his dad has come and Luka tells him not yet as they roll him away.  Luka is handed David's x-ray and is upset at what he sees.  Mr. Scott arrives and asks about his son.  Luka insinuates abuse and offends him.  He tells Luka that his son doesn't listen and falls a lot.  It has been worse since his mother left he tells him.

Kerry tells the Alderman that he is able to leave now.  She assures him that his medical record situation has been handled and he thanks her.  When Susan sees her and asks about the test results on the Alderman, Kerry lies to her and tells her that it was negative.  Susan can't believe it.  The police have arrived to speak with Mr. Scott and he tells Luka that he is mistaken.  As they take him away, he threatens to call his lawyer.  Kerry asks him what is going on and Luka explains that he thinks the boy is being abused.  She asks him if he called Social Services and he tells her no.  She tells him that he needs to follow the proper procedures.  Kerry goes in and speaks with the boy.  He asks her about his dad and she tells him that he had to go and speak with some people.  She asks David how he really hurt his arm.  He tells her that he jumped and did not fall.  He was wanting to spend more time with his dad.

Carter goes to the street clinic where Dr. McNulty is.  He tells the doctor about his diabetes and that he needs to take care of himself.  McNulty is sweeping and cleaning up.  Carter tells him that he will not be able to help anyone if he is dead.  Carter tells him that he could use some new equipment and he writes him a check.  McNulty takes the check and rips it up.  "I'm not here to make you feel better", he tells Carter.  Carter tells him that there must be something that he can do to help.  McNulty tosses him the broom and tells him that he can sweep.

Malik tells Pratt that D.C.F.S. has taken the kids to go see their mother before they leave.  Doug shows up and speaks with Pratt.  He tells Pratt that he doesn't want to let them down and Pratt tells him to just do the best that he can and that will be enough.  Pratt takes him to see them.  Pratt tells Susan that he was out of line before.  Jerry tells Pratt that he has a phone call.  Pratt speaks with a Mr. Knightly on the phone and then tells Jerry that he has to leave.  Kerry sees him leave and is upset.  She is upset with Luka also about how he handled the Scott family and she tells him that the boy hurt himself on purpose to see more of his father.  Elizabeth comes down and tells Luka that Mr. Callahan is in recovery and to get his patients to the OR more promptly from now on.  Luka goes in to Mrs. Callahan's bedside.  He tells her that Tom is out of surgery and that he is okay.  "You can let go now".

Kerry is at her locker getting ready to leave.  Susan walks in and tells her that Pratt has left and that when she was an intern it was a full time job.  Kerry tells her that it still is.  Susan is in her locker getting her things when she remembers that she has bought Kerry an early baby gift.  She goes on and on about it and how cute it is until Kerry interrupts her.  She tells Susan that she isn't pregnant anymore.  "I miscarried", she says in a quiet tone.  Susan tells her how sorry she is and Kerry explains what had happened and thanks her for the thought.  On her way out, Kerry tells Susan that when she sees Pratt, remind him that this is still a full time job and then she tells her goodnight.
