Sackheim
Writer: Paul Manning
Description: On Thanksgiving Day, Dr. Susan
Lewis (SHERRY STRINGFIELD) becomes increasingly worried after seeing
dangerous signs of depression in her lover, psychiatrist Dr. Cvetic
(JOHN TERRY). As she prepares Thanksgiving dinner with her sister and
her sister's boyfriend, she wonders where Cvetic is. Unbeknownst to her,
Cvetic is having a breakdown and is deliberately standing in the middle
of a crowded roadway as cars swerve around him. Meanwhile, John Carter
(NOAH WYLE) is uncomfortable treating a transvestite (VONDIE
CURTIS-HALL), who tries to commit suicide, first by driving into a
bridge, then by jumping off the hospital roof. The latter attempt is
successful. Devastated by the suicide, Carter reluctantly accepts Dr.
Benton's (ERIQ LA SALLE) invitation to join him for Thanksgiving dinner
with Benton's family. Benton, Carter, Dr. Mark Greene (ANTHONY EDWARDS),
Dr. Langworthy (TYRA FERRELL) and Nurse Carol Hathaway (JULIANNA
MARGULIES) try to save two teenage boys who, while driving recklessly,
killed a girl. One boy dies, and the other confesses to Hathaway that he
was really the driver, not the dead boy as everyone thinks. She debates
whether or not to let the truth be known. Hathaway also considers her
feelings for Dr. Taglieri (RICK ROSSOVICH) and Dr. Douglas Ross (GEORGE
CLOONEY), who is having an ongoing affair with medical supply saleswoman
Linda Farrell (ANDREA PARKER). Finally, Hathaway decides to tell
Taglieri the truth about some past romantic encounters she had with Ross
while she was seeing Taglieri. Unfortunately, Taglieri would have
preferred that she didn't confide this to him. As Thanksgiving day in
the ER continues, Ross tends to an animal rights activist who had to
kill a turkey he rescued when the bird began pecking him relentlessly.
