Bulldozers are going as Carter and
Abby are at the sight of the Joshua Carter Center. Carter looks at the dirt
and wonders what do with it. Abby asks Carter when it opens. “A year from
September.” he tells her and then congratulates him for making tenure. Carter
doesn’t seem very happy about that. He asks if she is ready to be an R-2
because she has two weeks left on her internship. Her reply is, “Do I have a
choice.” She then asks who Joshua is, and he tells her that Joshua was what
Kem and he was going to name their baby. They leave and walk to work
together. At the ER on Monday morning, Susan is with Morris going over things
that are expected of his as Chief Resident. Residents will now be going to
him and any mistakes they make will be a reflection of his leadership skills.
Susan tells him that he will have to put in office hours now and all he hears
is office and wants to know where it is. She explains that it’s only a figure
of speech. She then a contract for them to sign for the next years residency
and tells Ray that they need to talk about his contract later. Luka and Sam
are at a couple’s counselor. The counselor asks basic background information
about them, and when she gets to why they’re here, she replies, “I don’t think
Luka and I should be together.

In a trauma, Pratt, Neela, and Chuny are working on a guy
that won’t sit still. Carter comes in and asks what happened. Neela tells him
that Mr. Lillion was checking radiator leaks with the engine on when he caught
his hair in a fan belt, and it torn out his hair when he tried to pull it out
of the fan and cut his hand open. Pratt asks Neela if she wants antibiotics.
She says a gram of ancef IV piggyback. Pratt asks, “Anything else?” She
pauses. Pratt jump up and says, “100 Gentemician. Why?” She again pauses.
Then Carter tells her open fractures are susceptible to gram negative
organisms. Frank come in and tells Pratt that Darnell is outside. Carter
tells him to go and Pratt leaves. He shakes hands with Darnell, meets a kid
named K.C., and Darnell wants to know if there is a place they can talk in
privately. Luka and Sam are now talking about each other in counseling. Sam
tells her that she doesn’t think Luka is happy. That he is closed off and
never talks or shows his emotions. He denies this, gets mad, and tells Sam
that he guessed he should break a dish to show his emotions. Then the
counselor asks Luka what he is thinking. He tells her that he is happy and
Sam is not, they work together, and they have a good like. This makes Sam
want to hit Luka in the head with a hammer. The counselor asks what made them
come today. Sam tells her that she might have been pregnant and he didn’t
seem to care. In the ER, sewage is falling to a patient, literally. Abby and
Neela move the man and she tells Frank to call housekeeping about the leak.
Frank asks where Carter is and is told that he took the lost hair victim up to
the OR. Frank then tells Kem to leave a message for Carter. Susan walks up
and wants to talk to Ray. Darnell explains to Pratt that K.J. got busted by
the police and wants him to do his community service hours at County. It’s
not his decision, but he will ask. Sam and Luka are now talking about the no
pregnancy. Sam doesn’t think it would be fair to Alex, but Luka thinks he
would like a little brother or sister to play with. Sam then tells him that
she didn’t even want a kid the first time, and after what happened to his wife
and kids, does he really want to bring another kid into the world. He wants
to know how that is relevant to the situation. She replies, “It is a huge
part of what you are, and you won’t let me in.” At the ER, Abby asks Carter
how names like: Destiny, Miracle, or Faith ends up with leukemia. Frank then
tells Carter that Kem called and she sounded upset. Maintenance places a
bucket under the sewage to collect it, and everyone wants to know how long
they will have raw sewage leaking from the ceiling. Abby gets mad and asks
what happens when the bucket fills up. Carter is on the phone as Morris tells
Frank to move boxes out of the Chief Residence office. All of a sudden Carter
gets serious and asks, “What happened.” Susan and Ray are talking in a room.
She tells him that his was lucky to get into County and all he seems to clock,
but has the ability to be a great doctor. She then tells him not to sign the
contract unless he is 100% sure of what he wants to do. Carter is getting his
things together and Abby walks in wondering if something happened to Kem. He
tells her that it is her mother in Paris. He walks out telling Frank that he
has to go and will call Susan from O’Hare. Sam and Luka are leaving the
counselor and he asks if she needs anything from the bank or Home Depot. She
gives him the look and walks off.

Tuesday, Carter is riding in a car going to the hospital
where Kem’s mom is. Susan tells Luka that Carter went to Paris. Morris gives
Abby and Neela schedules that are not fair, but Ray gets a better one because he
and Morris are going to a Cubs game. Abby accuses Morris of taking bribes. He
tells her that would be unethical, but would like U2 tickets. Abby and Neela
complain to Susan, and she tells them that he is the chief. Luka asks Susan if
they can make Abby the chief, but she tells him to give it time. Sam walks
right past Luka and smarts off. Jerry tells him that flowers usually work.
Pratt introduces K.J. to Jerry. Pratt tells K.J that he will be running stuff
up to the lab and if he doesn’t like it he can leave. A septic newborn trauma
pulls up and Pratt and Neela take it. Carter arrives at the hospital and finds
Kem’s mom sleeping. As he leaves the room, Kem sees him and they hug. Kem
tells him that he should have told her that he was coming. He tried to call her
cell phone, but it doesn’t work in Paris. He finds out that she is fine and
meets one of Kem’s friends, Michel Timbaud. Neela and Pratt work on the infant
and put I.V. fluids and antibiotics. Pratt leaves to check on another patient.
The mother then tells Neela that she is hurting her. She then tells her that
her baby has an infection and they need to give her antibiotics to stop it. She
also tells Chuny to put in umbilical lines. Pratt tells Jerry to call the NICU
on the newborn and Jerry tells him that K.C. doesn’t seem too happy and asks
Pratt why is he here if he doesn’t want to work. He says murder and Morris gets
scared. Then he tells Jerry that he tried to spray paint and cop car, with the
cop still inside. Abby ask Pratt if she can get a C.T. and Morris nods his
head. Morris then asks Pratt if the interns will be ready to supervise in two
weeks and Pratt says no way. Carter is leaving the hospital and Kem stops him.
He tells her that should have called her. Kem tells him that Michel is just a
friend. Carter almost heartbroken asks if they are a couple. She tells him in
the past and he admits he is jealous. He then asks some personal questions and
starts to leave. Kem then talks him into staying for the night. Neela is still
working on the newborn; Pratt comes back and finds out that she put in umbilical
lines. He gets mad at her and scares mother half to death. Michel drops Carter
off at the hotel and Kem tells him that she will come by in the morning for
breakfast. Carter still jealous asks if Michel will be there and is relived
that he is not. Pratt chews Neela out for putting in umbilical line in the
infant. He explains to her that she can’t go play NICU doctor whenever she
feels like it and was lucky this time. Neela starts to cry and leaves.
Carter gets a phone call in the middle of the night and meets
Kem outside where she wants to show him something. They run to the subway and
he asks where they are going. She tells him to have patience for once in his
life. She makes up stories of the people on the train as people gather. When
the train goes outside, the sun is rising and she points showing him the Eiffel
Tower. It is now Wednesday morning in the ER and Neela is outside in the
ambulance bay deciding to call in sick or not because Pratt is on. Jake shows
up and, Abby tells him what happened yesterday, and then leaves. Abby tells her
to get back on that horse and they walk in. Morris wants Susan to have someone
paint his office. She gets mad at him, walks off, and tells Pratt to take the
stabbing victim in Trauma 1. When he gets in there, Ray and Neela are working
on it and do a good job of running the code. Pratt tells them that there maybe
hope in them after all. Carter and Kem are having breakfast and tell Kem that
Susan didn’t get tenure and she is mad at him. Kem eats a donut and gets jam on
her face, Carter wipes it off. Jake and Abby are walking in the ER, and he asks
for advice on ranking where he would want to do his residency, then a patient
tells them that sewage is again coming from the ceiling. She tells Susan who
tells Jerry to close to trauma until the problem is fixed. Abby takes a man who
is have trouble breathing and tells Jake to hook him up to a monitor. She then
sees Birdie and Rebecca and goes to check on them. Abby find out that Rebecca
stabbed their niece, Shelley, because she was trying to strangle Birdie. Carter
and Kem walk in the park as Kem tells him about her childhood. Carter then
tells her that their son would be a year old now. She starts to walk away and
he grabs her. He tells her that they has a huge tragedy, he loves her and would
give up everything to be with her. She goes back to the hospital and asks him
to come see her mom before he leaves.
Ray, Neela, and Pratt are working on the niece, Shelley.
Abby comes in and tells Ray that his former patient, Rebecca stabbed her. Abby
tells him he should have ordered a follow-up. He tells her that he did, but
can’t follow them around 24/7. As Shelley goes into shock, Ray asks anyone if
she has heart problems. Abby tells him that he is the only one who has ever met
her. Michel and Kem are talking to Kem’s mom in French. She looks at Carter
and stops because it is rude. She sends Michel and Kem to get her something to
eat so that she can talk to Carter alone. She tells him not to give up on her.
Kem hears this and tells her mom to leave him alone. Still working on Shelley,
Pratt does a crack down and when he cracks the chest no blood comes out. He
tries a needle but all he gets is air. Ray then discovers that he removed the
dressing before the intubations and all of the air got sucked in her jugular
causing an air embolisms, she dies. Jake gets Abby and tells her that the
emphysema patient is coding. Abby puts in a breathing tube and Pratt helps
her. Neela tells Birdie and Rebecca that Shelley is dead. Pratt shocks the
patient and gets him back. Susan comes over to help and tells Abby that she
failed to recall basic respiratory principals, and by giving him nebs and oxygen
it sent him into v-tack. Neela makes Ray tell Birdie and Rebecca that the stab
wound didn’t kill their niece. Carter is leaving in a taxi and tells the driver
to return from where they came from. Jake walks outside and tells Abby that he
is going to rank County as his #1. She says not to do that just because of
her. Neela and Ray walk out and have found out that Shelley was using them to
support her Coke habit. She would beat them if they didn’t bring home enough
money. Then Morris comes out prissing his ass, makes fun of all their mistakes
and tells Pratt that they will never be ready to supervise the new interns in
two weeks. Then everybody leaves but Abby who stays outside on the bench.
Carter is setting in traffic and he can’t wait anymore. So he pays the driver
and starts to run in the rain. He get to Kem’s apartment, runs up the stairs,
and he tells her that he is moving back to Africa and he love her.
