The alarm is ringing and we see Ray sleeping in the floor and a woman is sleeping in the bed, naked.  She is wondering why he is on the floor and he doesn't know.  She wants him to stay, but he tells her that he has to go to work. She sniffs drugs and offers him some but he passes.  At the same time, Pratt and a friend are playing basketball and he wonders who Pratt is taking to their friend, Darnell's, 30th birthday party.  Pratt doesn't want to go, so his friend makes a bet that if he makes the next shot, Pratt will go to the party.  He misses the shot and Pratt tells him "Game Over".  At Sam and Luka's, Luka is looking for shaving cream, and finds Sam's home pregnancy test kit.  Just as Sam comes to help him, he covers the kit with a towel.  She comes in wanting to use the bathroom, but waits until Luka is done.  At County, Carter is waiting to talk to Weaver.  After yelling at her assistant, she tells him that the reason that she wanted to talk to him is that he has been awarded tenure, but not to tell anybody yet, because it's not official.  After all she says “you have the next 30 years to gloat about it."

 

Luka and Sam are in traffic and he turns down the radio.  Sam gets mad and asked him why he did that.  He asked if she is feeling ok because she was in the bathroom a long time. Then he asked if the test came back positive or negative, she tells him it was negative.  He then confronts her and asked why she would hind something like that from him.  She tells him she was scared.  Next a fight starts because of this and leads to Sam telling Luka that she knows nothing about him because he nerves talks.  To change the subject, Luka turns the radio to the traffic report.  At the ER,  Neela is given a choice of cat litter ingestion or a butt abuss off a 300 pound, she chooses the ingestion.  Chuny gives Pratt a chart about Eugene Bradley, a known drug seeker, is back again with pain.  Every doctor has treated him, but no one has been able to stop his pain.  Pratt tells Morris to treat him. He doesn't want to and tried to give it off to Abby, but has no luck.  Ray comes up to Morris and tells him he has disposed and patient.  Morris calls him "The Closer", and then he tricks him into taking Eugene.  Jerry tells Morris he has a mean streak.  Carter walks up to Jerry and asks where Susan is and Jerry cognates him on making tenure.  Carter asks how he found out and then tells him it's not official and to keep it quiet.  Ray is checking Eugene’s leg out and tells him they can't give him anything without consent.  He gives Ray a note, but Ray can't since it's not an emergency.  He tells him to go home, stay off his feet and if it's still hurting when his mom gets in for work, come back and he will not have to wait.  Carter finds Susan organizing the stock room and tells her he made tenure.  She is upset because she didn't get it too.  Carter tells her Weaver is probably looking for her.  She says that she has been in the stock room all morning.  Then she goes to tell Morris he has been made Chief Resident, with a three month probation period.  He is so happy that he doesn't hear anything she tells him.  Susan walks away and asks if she got any messages.  Pratt has gotten a lot of messages from his friend about the party tonight, but a bet is a bet.  Eugene is in waiting room and Ray is told that he is a frequent flyer.  Morris then announces that he is now Chief Resident and everybody thinks it is a joke.  A trauma of an apartment fire is pulling up and he tries to take control of everything.  The doctors only look at him at laugh.  Abby is at a baptism with Jake.  As the first trauma is coming through the door, Morris gets on Sam's nerves by calling her nurse.  Eugene tells Pratt that he can't walk.  Ray tells Haleh to get a wheelchair and give him morphine for his pain.  As another trauma come through, Carter tells Ray to start helping with the multiple traumas.  On one trauma victim, Marilyn Bracken, they can't figure out why she is not breathing and don't know what to do.

 

Carter, Susan, Ray, and Pratt are all working together to figure out what is wrong with the women.  Susan starts over with the ABC’s and finds out that the women has ingested Cyanide and has Cyanide toxicity.  They give her meds and Carter congratulates Susan on a good catch.  Ray watches Eugene walking and confronts him telling him he thought he couldn’t walk and tells him to stop playing him and leave.  He has no pills so Ray writes him a prescription. Eugene complains that they will not work and begs him to stay the night.  Ray says no and leaves.  Neela tells a trauma patient from the fire has some injuries but nothing serious.  He tells them that he jumped.  Pratt asks if he can feel his legs but he can’t.  Then Pratt, Neela, and Morris get into an argument over diagnosing and by the x-ray, Pratt wins.  Luka and Sam treat a 12 year old girl, Megan Nesbitt that was home alone and has burns in her arms.    Mrs. Bracken is beginning to wake up and is altered, as Susan tries to suture her cuts.  Carter asks her if she knows what happened to her, but all she says is that she needs to go home and tells them that she didn’t live in the apartment that caught fire.  Luka does an ultrasound on Megan to rule out internal injuries and determines that she doesn’t have any.  After this Luka looks at Sam funny and she asks him if he was a problem, still fighting over the argument earlier in the morning.  Jake and Abby are getting food and talking to Jake’s relatives.  They all wonder why Jake and Abby are not married and why she has no kids, telling her that it’s never too soon to start a family with two of his cousins starting at 35 and 40.  Carter and Susan are still treating Mrs. Bracken and she tells them she was meeting someone there got lost and was looking at the floor maps, the ones that say you are here.  She got caught in the fire and never got to meet her.  Jerry tells Susan that Weaver is looking for her.  Mrs. Bracken tells the doctor that she is having trouble breathing and Carter determines she has some guarding on the right side of her stomach, where he thinks a piece of glass might of went through her during the explosion.  Susan says she checked all the wounds and they are all superficial.  Carter asks her to check.  She pokes her finger on all the wounds and near her stomach her finger goes right through and cut her finger.

Sam is putting cream on Megan’s burns and tells that her parents are coming.  She asked if they were told that she almost died.  Sam says no and Megan wishes Sam had, because to her all they care about is her half brother and not about her.  When they come she wants Sam to tell them she was hurt bad.  Jerry then tells that the friends on the jumper didn’t make it.  Sam tells Megan to get some rest.  Sam leaves and tells Luka that a social worker should be called because they left her unattended.  Luka says that she was just in a fire and to let her parents see her before they bring Social Services in.  Susan is being treated and Dr. Dubenko, Carter and Ray are looking at an x-ray.  Dubenko confirms that free air from the x-ray that a piece of glass went through Mrs. Bracken stomach and Ray wonders why it didn’t show up on the X-ray, with Dubenko saying that only heavy metals show up on x-rays.  As Carter is leaving to talk with his father on the phone, Dubenko congratulates Carter on making early tenure.  Susan returns with a sore finger and arm from the tetanus shot, and finds out that the HIV test is negative.  As Dubenko is taking Mrs. Bracken to the OR, Susan asks if the surgical tenures have been announced.  He says this morning they were announced and Susan wonders when Weaver is going to make it down to the ER.  Sam then asks Susan to call social services down on Megan; she wonders why Luka didn’t order one himself.  She tells them they had a disagreement and calls Luka over and tells him that she wanted a concept. He gets mad at her for going over his head.  Susan tells them to stop fight with each other at work and if they are having trouble with each other, see a therapist.  As for the consult call them because the parents will get here before they do anyway.  Neela is going of a chart with Pratt, then tells him she should present to Morris because he is now Chief resident.  Jerry gives Pratt a list of phone messages and tells him to get a voice mail.  Pratt tells Carter that people don’t understand that after a 12 hour shift no one want to party.  Morris announces a party after work, but no one goes.  Then every one gathers, with a cake, to congratulate Carter on making tenure.  Morris wonders why he didn’t get any cake and Susan doesn’t seem happy because she wanted tenure too.  Then Mrs. Bracken husband comes in to find his wife and Carter shows him to the OR telling him she is doing fine, but a piece of glass has penetrated her colon and she is in surgery.  He asks what she was doing there because she doesn’t live there.  He wants to see her but can’t, and tells Carter to tell her that he is here.  Susan meets Weaver in her office and tells her not to rush about her not getting tenure, and she want to know why.  Weaver gives her a bunch of BS and Susan blows up.  Telling her that the ER runs smoothly and that means one less thing for her to worry about, and if he was tenured that would mean less shifts and she would have to worry about the ER.  Weaver points out that after seven years of being an attending she has only made $75000 of grant money and someone of her stature should be over 1 million.  Grants pay her money, so that is the reason she didn’t make tenure.  Susan gets mad and tells her to forget about excellence and performance just make money, and walks out.  .  Ray gives his charts to Neela to make time for his band.  Neela tells him he is cleaning the bathroom for doing this. As Ray is trying to get a taxi, he sees Eugene outside a store watching T.V. Ray tries to give him money and tells him to go home, but his mom is not home.  Ray tells him that they will not give him anymore drugs.  Eugene tells him that he can’t go home because his mom’s boyfriend will be there and he does “stuff” to him.  Luka and Sam are in the stock room.  As she is looking for Dilantin, Luka gives a sarcastic remark and she wants to omit he is mad at her.  He doesn’t, and she says that he buries his feeling and won’t omit to anything.  He gets mad and tells her that he doesn’t have to tell her about his life every five seconds.  Haleh tells them that Megan is in a lot of pain and Luka makes Sam give her morphine and she leaves.  Carter sees Susan at the vending machines and she tells him that she didn’t make tenure.  He wonders who else got the slots if she didn’t, but she tells him he is the only one.  He tells her that there are always more than one spot opened for tenure and she says not in the year that he applied.  Carter asked what she meant by that and asks if she thinks he deserved it.  Telling her that he has brought in grants and has worked his ass off for 11 years for this and never asked for this.  Susan tells him that he never wanted it; this ER is her home where she started and sometimes she wonders if he wants to be here or not.
