"The Match Game"
Original Air Date: 
March 28, 1996
Episode Number:   #43
Director:  Thomas Schlamme
Writer:  Neal Baer
Description: 
Lewis saves the life of Freddie Robinson (RODNEY EASTMAN), a drugged and drunk driver. She must inform Robinson's unbelieving mother that he killed a young girl and hospitalized three others. Benton and Ross perform tests on one of Robinson's victims, Brett Bowman (RASHAAN NALL), who was treated three months earlier. They discover that he has a cancerous tumor, which Ross did not notice before. The hospital lawyers tell Ross to withhold this information from Brett and remove himself from the case. But Benton defies Greene's orders and notifies Brett's grandfather. Greene angrily tells Benton that he is overcompensating for his guilt about not exposing Vucelich's clamp-and-run deception. Meanwhile, Chloe thinks that since she has not been drunk in five months and has a new fianci, she should be allowed to care for her child, Susie, again. Lewis refuses and warns the hospital child-care staff not to let Chloe have the baby. When Carter finds out that he is accepted into the residency program at County General, he celebrates by taking Harper to a deluxe hotel for lunch and champagne. He fails to finish treating an asthmatic patient, who is later diagnosed with leukemia. Hicks berates Carter for drinking alcohol during his work shift. With two nurses out sick, a temporary nursing agency sends a replacement--Hathaway. A disgusting but friendly homeless man (MICHAEL McSHANE - "Brotherly Love") is endangered by Hathaway and Jeanie because of a continuing conflict between the nurses and the physician assistants. After Greene buys colored contact lenses and grows a small beard, he gets cast in a program-length commercial by Iris (recurring guest star JOANNA GLEASON), one of his patients. Unfortunately, he learns that the commercial is for a baldness product. Feeling responsible for Raul's death, Shep thinks he is being punished when a clumsy rookie is assigned to him as his new partner.
