Frank asks if anybody watched the news? He tells them that Homeland
Security raised the threat level to orange this morning. The hospital is
on full alert. Dr. Moretti is observing the ER for the day.
Abby and Joe say goodbye to Luka, who is heading to Croatia to tend to his
father who is sick. He feels bad for having to cancel their honeymoon,
but Abby tells him that she doesn't need a honeymoon. "I do", he replies
back. Abby tells him that she would like to meet his father and that Joe
would like to meet his grandpa too. "Unless you don't want me to meet
your family because I am hideously ugly by Croatian standards", Abby asks him.
Luka kisses her and tells them that he will miss them both. Luka gets
into the cab and tells her that he will call her and rides away.

Dr. Moretti sits in the waiting area with the patients as
Frank, Morris and Pratt watch. from the admit. desk. Morris tells them
that he has been sitting there for twenty minutes. "It's a little creepy
if you ask me", Pratt remarks as he walks away. Frank and Morris are
surprised to see that Abby is back to work. Abby tells them that Luka is
flying to Croatia to be with his father and Frank replies, "I hope is not flying
today" (referring to the aforementioned Code Orange alert). Sam wheels in
a patient with a badly cut arm. His name is Kyle and he has two of his
friends with him. They tell Abby, Morris and Sam that he put it through a
glass coffee table.
Sam goes to get another patient b the name of Mrs. Calder.
Dr. Moretti walks in with her and sits nearby as Sam triages her. She is
diabetic and is concerned that Dr. Moretti asks a lot of questions for somebody
who is suppose to be in charge. "He's new", Sam tells her.
Abby and Morris are working on Kyle's arm. We learn
that he has had a detached retina from a run-in at a local bar. He also
has a hurt back and one of his friends tells them that they were in the army and
that they had done a tour in Iraq. He was with Intelligence and worked as
a translator. He taught his friends how to swear in Arabic. Morris
prescribes 4mg of morphine to help with Kyle's pain. Morris walks out to
the hall and runs in to Neela. He tells her about the patient and she asks
him if he has heard from Ray. Morris tells her that he is taking time off
and Neela is concerned because Ray hasn't returned any of her calls.
Morris tells her that he heard that Ray's band is back in town and that maybe he
is playing "Rock Star" again.
Gates is working on Mrs. Calder as Dr. Moretti watches on.
Mrs. Calder calls Dr. Moretti a flirt. Gates present to Abby and she tells
him to show her the labs when she returns. Dr. Moretti introduces himself
to Abby. "I'll be replacing your husband", he tells her. She
replies, "Excuse me?" and he explains only as Chief. He seems to know a
lot about her. He mentions that she was once a nurse and that she is
married to an Attending.
Pratt calls Abby over to check on a twenty-seven year old man
that has been brought in by his "brother-in-law", Mr. Salzman. He tells
them that he had fallen off of the roof while putting up a satellite dish.
He wants to know if he will be waking up soon and that when he does he wants to
talk to him. Morris walks up and asks Abby to give their "soldier guy"
another 4mg of morphine. It doesn't seem to be helping him any. Abby
tells him that Kyle had addiction issues at the VA and has a no narcotic
contract. Dr. Moretti tells Morris that he will walk him through a
procedure that will help them treat Kyle without any pain. Neela is
working on sewing up Kyle's arm and tell him about her husband Gallant that died
in Iraq. When she is done he tells her that maybe he will see her later at
the rally. Kyle tells Moretti and Morris that he is still in pain, but
they explain to him that they know about his addiction. He completely
denies it.
Neela is on her way out and Gates catches up with her.
He tells her that this whole thing is weird to him and that he doesn't know how
to treat her now that they have broken up. He wants to still be friends.
Frank comes out and tells him that his Mr. Pollard has stopped breathing.
Gates tells Neela that he will try to get a hold of her tomorrow. As Neela
is walking away her cell phone rings. It is Ray Barnett calling.

As Abby and Pratt are working on Mr. Salzman, the
"brother-in-law" wakes up. As Abby and Pratt are getting ready to leave
the exam room, the "brother-in-law" sees Mr. Salzman and is afraid of him.
"Somebody call the cops", he tells them. He explains that the man is not
his brother-in-law and that he has a woman tied up in his room screaming.
He had tried to help her when Mr. Salzman beat him up. Sam comes to get
Abby to tend to Mrs. Calder. Mr. Salzman explains to Pratt what happened.
"Are you familiar with R.A.C.K. (Risk Aware Concentual Kink)", he asks Pratt?
Pratt has no idea what he is talking about.
Morris and Moretti are still working on Kyle who is still
complaining about the pain. As Moretti talks to him, he uses a needle to
poke at his hand and Kyle can't feel it. Moretti and Morris walk out to
the hall and he explains to Morris that Kyle must be drug seeking. Morris
wants to call psych., but Moretti tells him not there. He needs to go back
to the VA hospital.
Abby is not sure what is causing Mrs. Calder's pain.
Moretti thinks that she might be septic. Abby orders more tests. She
has been there for six hours now. Abby doesn't want to send her home and
tells her that her condition might be serious. A woman comes in looking
for Paxton. Her name is Hilary and she was the woman that was tied up,
gagged and screaming. Abby brings her into the room with Mr. Salzman and
Paxton. Paxton has been running a porn website from his home illegally.
Paxton calls it "Erotic Performance Art".
Morris tells Kyle that they are transferring him to the VA.
Kyle wants to know why he is being punished. Morris leaves the room to
assist Gates with a woman who has her finger lodged in a piece of machinery.
Morris notices Kyle in the other exam room. He takes Sam's swipe card and
locks himself in the drug lock up. Kyle begins stuffing his mouth full of
medicines.
Neela is walking down the hallway of a hospital and sees Ray
at the end of the hall in a room. Ray turns to look at her and his face is
cut and bruised. An orderly pulls Ray from behind the door and Ray is in a
wheelchair and has no legs. Katey is with him and the orderly picks Ray up
from the chair and places him on the bed. Neela is shocked and can't
believe what she sees.
