Description: When a sprinkler system malfunctions,
eight women who are giving birth are transferred to the emergency room.
One of the pregnant women is a crack addict who claims to have
recovered. Jeanie doubts it until the woman refuses some crack her
friends bring to her. Another pregnant patient is a 13-year-old girl
whose baby will be adopted by a couple who brought her in. But when the
teenager sees how cute the infant is, she decides to keep it. After
another doctor rudely commandeers Greene's delivery of a baby, Greene
notices that there is a surprise twin coming out. Then another patient,
a doctor who is limiting her own cancer treatment to protect her unborn
child, requests that Greene deliver her baby. Three-time mother Monica
Ford (MYRA TURLEY) confidently refused prenatal care early in her
pregnancy. Ross notices that her latest baby has dangerously low blood
sugar and saves it. And patient Leslie Cameron (CECILE CALLAN) reveals
that she is actually a lesbian whose "perfect husband," a
homosexual man, impregnated her so that she and her female lover could
have a child together. Benton is not given as many patients. He's angry
because he knows it has to do with his disagreement with Vucelich. When
Benton gets a patient who threw himself in front of a subway train, he
goes to extremes to prove his worth and save the patient's life. Social
workers visit Lewis' home to evaluate her to adopt Susie. It's a bad
time for Lewis, and her home is a mess. After worrying and feeling
intimidated by his competition, Carter has a great interview to progress
academically and learns that Benton wrote a very complimentary letter of
recommendation. Harper tests herself for pregnancy and discovers that
she is not pregnant. Professional basketball player SCOTTIE PIPPEN
(himself) visits the hospital. After observing a proud father with his
newborn child, Ross decides to visit his own father, Ray, at a hotel.
Ross is surprised that not only is it a nice establishment, but Ray
actually owns it. Ray blames himself for not being involved while Ross
was growing up.
