Writer: John Wells
Description: Dr. Peter Benton (ERIQ LA SALLE) treats a
young homosexual in the final stages of AIDS. The man's mother decides
to make her son comfortable but not to perform surgery on him that could
sustain his life. Meanwhile, Dr. Mark Greene (ANTHONY EDWARDS) is sued
for malpractice regarding the death of Jodi O'Brien (from "Love's
Labor Lost" episode). Greene learns that Dr. Swift (MICHAEL
IRONSIDE) and the hospital will support him in the suit, claiming he is
not at fault. Swift finally offers Greene an attending job in the ER for
the next year. Dr. Susan Lewis (SHERRY STRINGFIELD) deals with her
difficult sister, Chloe (KATHLEEN WILHOITE), who still lives with her.
Chloe's baby complicates the situation. On his last day in the ER, John
Carter (NOAH WYLE) helps Dr. Douglas Ross (GEORGE CLOONEY) with a
12-year-old cancer patient who develops complications from chemotherapy.
Carter must evaluate Dr. Peter Benton (ERIQ LA SALLE), his resident in
the ER. After he gives Benton a low evaluation, he learns that Benton
gave him an excellent evaluation. Benton offers Carter a sub-I
internship in surgery since the original candidate refused the offer.
Elated, Carter's confidence continues to grow as a doctor. Finally, the
ER group gathers at church for the wedding of Nurse Carol Hathaway
(JULIANNA MARGULIES) and Dr. Taglieri (RICK ROSSOVICH). After learning
that she doesn't love him as much as he loves her, Taglieri walks away
from Hathaway. The ER group supports Hathaway and has a party anyway
without the wedding.
