Number: #42
Director: Mimi
Leder
Writer: John Wells
Description: While illegally preparing methamphetamine,
a mother of four causes an explosion and a huge apartment building fire.
She rushes from the building holding her youngest child. Shep and
another paramedic, Raul (CARLOS GOMEZ), enter the burning building
unprotected to try to save the other kids. When Hathaway finds out that
Shep and Raul were the ones involved in the rescue, she anxiously checks
every ambulance that comes in. Finally, Shep is brought in with broken
bones and assorted injuries. He and Raul saved the other children, but
Raul fell through the floor and was burned over 90 percent of his body.
Shep apologizes to his heroic dying friend. Later, Carter questions his
ability to be a surgeon because he became nauseous and was unable to
operate on Raul's disfigured body. Benton tells him that he did as well
as could be expected for his level of experience. During all of the
chaos in the emergency room, Lewis does not respond to her pager because
she is attending her final interview to determine if she can adopt
Susie. The interview is a success. Later, Chloe returns and surprises
Lewis in the hospital nursery. Meanwhile, Ross plans to meet his father,
Ray, at a basketball game, but Ray does not come. When Ross finds him
having dinner with an attractive woman, Karen Hines (recurring guest
star MARG HELGENBERGER), who Ray claims is his boss, Ross gives up
trying to reconcile with him.
