In this episode, we start out with Alex and Sam leaving
their apartment. Alex is going to school and a sleepover, and Sam is going
to work. Alex is complaining that the people he is sleeping over at, are
weird. Sam tells him to be nice, and they walk on. Sam drops Alex off at
carpool, and she reminds Alex how to reach her. Alex asks if she is going to
see Luka, and she tells him I guess so. She shuts the car door, and begins
to walk to work. At County, Abby is trying to present patients to Weaver,
but it makes it hard when a man slams his face against the drug lock-up,
claiming he is dieing. Weaver tells Abby to make sure the patient is not
pregnant. As Weaver walks on, a man walks up to her, and introduces himself
as Arnie. He works for human resources, and is at the hospital to check it
out, and spend a day there for observations. Risk Management sent the guy to
the ER because of the Romano law-suit. (Romano was killed in a helicopter)
People greet the man, and ask him a few questions. Malarkey is at the front
desk eating french fries, by Sam. He squirts ketchup on the fries, and on
her paperwork. She tells him something, turns back around, and he begins to
choke. He shoves her paperwork down, to get her attention. She puts her arms
around his stomach, pulls, and the french fries land on the window. At
Carter’s house, Kem wakes up in front of the fireplace. She goes downstairs,
and finds Carter cooking breakfast. She finds him without the beard, and
likes it that way. She rubs his chin on the picture. Carter took a day off
from the hospital, and he wants to show Kem around the city of Chicago. At
the hospital, Abby is complaining to Susan about Weaver’s reprimand, and
Malarkey walks by, touching Susan’s stomach, and asking if she minds. She
slaps his hand away, and answers," Yes". Susan talks to Abby about Chuck,
because Chuck is pushing to get married, but Susan doesn’t really know what
she wants. Arnie interrupts their conversation, to ask Susan if she gets a
lot of inappropriate touching at work. Abby and Sam go to work on a crabby
guy named Miguel. Apparently, Miguel fell off of the ladder, and his knee is
badly scraped. Arnie walks up to Sam, and asks her about the ‘incident’ that
happened earlier with Malarkey. Kem and Carter are ice skating. Carter is
tying up Kem’s skate, so they can go.
Back at the hospital, Luka is teaching Neela how to do a
pap test. Later on, Luka goes to Sam and asks her over for dinner. Sam
explains that Alex is at a sleepover, and says yes. A man comes in who was
driving a hummer. Apparently, he had heart problems, and blacked out. His
hummer hit another car. It was a brand new hummer. The people who he hit was
a mom, dad, and two children. Neela calls Sam for help with the pediatrics
on the child who has a blocked airway, and the man feels it’s a shame. He
doesn’t know that he had hit that car. The mother wonders about her
daughter, and Malarkey tells her they never brought in a girl. The mother’s
son, is tubed because he had a blocked airway. Carter beings Kem to a house
as they walk along the streets of Chicago. Carter says he bought it, and Kem
said that she likes it. Back at the hospital, Abby is trying to find the
woman’s daughter, but so far is having no luck. She runs out of the room to
see her family, and Luka drags her back into the room. She is asking
questions about her family. Carter bought Kem an ice cream cone, and she is
still licking it, after two hours of it not melting. Abby is still trying to
find information on the woman’s daughter, but is having no luck. She tries
and tries again, but can’t seem to find anything on it. Sam is sitting by
next to the girl who Luka was doing the pap test on. Apparently, when her
boyfriend and her are doing it, he is a little rough with her. She and Sam
talk about it. Abby, after tries and tries of searching for the woman’s
daughter, gives up. She walks to Sam, and quietly tells her that no one can
find anything on the daughter. Carter gets out of the shower, and snuggles
in bed with Kem. Carter and Kem start to talk about the little baby, because
Kem is pregnant. They talk about how healthy they think the baby is going to
be. The crabby man from earlier, Miguel, is complaining to Pratt that he has
been waiting for nine hours, and can not get any help. The man who hit the
family in the Hummer is walking around the halls. He stops, and tells Sam
poor guy in there, about the husband in the car accident. Sam tells him he
did that when he blacked out, and the guy faints. Luckily, Luka shocks his
heart back into rhythm.
Abby found the woman’s daughter now. She is being treated
at Mercy hospital, and is trying to get a transfer. The woman is being led
off to see her son. Abby learns that Miguel has TB, and has been in County
General Hospital about fifteen months ago. But, when she frantically runs to
Pratt, she learns he dismissed him. Sam calls Alex at home, and tries to
tell him that he doesn’t have to go to the sleepover, and then suddenly
realizes that she never taught Alex how to check the voicemail. The girl
that Luka was doing a pap test on is pregnant, and her boyfriend is there.
They are fighting because the boyfriend doesn’t want the baby, but the
girlfriend does. Sam finds him there, and runs to call 911, but he puts her
hand on her hand, so she can’t touch the phone. Because of this, she reaches
back and punches him. Miguel is mad because he got caught leaving the
hospital, and now has to wear a mask. Pratt wants Miguel arrested, but Abby
insists that he just forgot to go to his treatments, and he will get better.
Sam wants to talk to Arnie, but Arnie runs off, so she walks over to the
counter, where she is told to wait for Weaver. Malarkey makes a rude
comment. Weaver talks to Sam about the incident, and Weaver reminds Sam it
could go into a legal lawsuit. This is Kem’s last day in the United States.
She is going back to the Congo in Africa, and her and Carter and snuggling
in the limo on the way to the airport. Carter does not want Kem to leave,
but Kem insists that she has to because of her job. Miguel is fighting about
wearing the mask, so a guard jumps and holds him down. Arnie just shakes his
head and scribbles on his clipboard. Carter doesn’t want Kem to go, and Kem
doesn’t want to go, but she can’t stay. Kem has to go to the Congo in Africa
because of her job.
At the hospital, the man with the hummer is hooked up to
the machine that tells the heart rhythms in the last twenty four hours. It
seems that he had a heart attack and blacked out, which caused the crash.
Because of the impact of the crash, his heart started working again. The
crash saved his life, and killed others. He looks over and his face saddens
as he looks at the little boy in the trauma room. The woman is with her son,
and now, Kerry tells Sam to stop doing CPR. The little boy is dead. The
woman is talking with a doctor about how she feels with her kids, how she
never planned getting pregnant, and other things, too. Gus is telling Luka
how he retired, and his wife told him he could buy his Hummer, so he did.
With Carter, at the airport, he pays nine thousand dollars just to see Kem
for the last time again, before she goes off to the Congo in Africa. The
man’s wife wanted to spoil him, by getting him the Hummer. The man feels
bad, and wonders why he should be spared. The mother is sharing her thoughts
with Sam, and Sam can only listen to what the mother has to say. Just then,
Abby walks in, and brings the mother her daughter whom she thought was
missing. The mother carries her daughter outside and sobs with joy and
sorrow.
As Carter just thinks he missed Kem, Kem shouts Carter’s
name, and they both hug each other for one last time. Then Carter walks
away, and Kem boards the plane. Abby and Sam meet up at the restaurant
across from County General Hospital. Sam explains to Abby that she couldn’t
do an abortion, because she never got up when they called her name, and she
was late the second time, and that she was fifteen when she got pregnant
with Alex. Sam waves good-bye to Abby, and Sam and Luka meet up. Meanwhile,
the girl who Sam was treating earlier asks to speak to her, and goes off to
the side to speak to her. Miguel from earlier, signs a form that says he is
going to go to the treatment centers. At the hospital, Weaver is mad that
Carter is not there to start his shift. So, Pratt asks her to sign the form
on Miguel, the guy with TB. She glows Pratt for his notice of the TB, but as
Weaver walks away, Pratt says it was Abby’s catch underneath his breath.
Arnie walks up to Weaver, and tells her to fire everyone for being hostile,
and rude. Weaver ignores him, and is not going to fire everyone in the
hospital. Kerry sees Carter in the lounge, walks into the lounge, and scolds
Carter for being late. Kerry gets a page from Sandy, that she has been with
a squealing baby for twelve hours. So, Kerry proceeds to go home. Sam goes
home to an empty apartment, because Alex is at the sleepover, and sits down
on the couch, trying to watch TV. She can’t seem to concentrate, so she gets
up, but trips over one of Alex’s anatomy dolls. Sam knocks on Luka’s door,
inviting him to dinner with her. He says yes.
