Description: The morning after Ross drinks
alcohol heavily and has sex with a woman whose name he doesn't even
know, she dies from a seizure. Greene detects cocaine in her blood and
angers Ross by demanding a urine sample from him. Cocaine is not found,
but Weaver orders Greene to test Ross' alcohol level. After Greene and
Ross have a nasty public argument, the police question Ross. When the
dead woman's sister arrives, Ross pretends he didn't know the deceased.
Hathaway refuses to console Ross, and the staff gossips. Benton doesn't
know that the slides for his lecture burned up in Carter's apartment
until after Benton begins speaking to the audience. Anspaugh and Benton
are upset with Carter, but Keaton sympathizes. Later, Carter impresses
Keaton by subduing a rebellious teenage patient, drawing Keaton's
attention away from Benton, who is skillfully operating. Keaton invites
Carter to assist in the colostomy, which annoys Benton. When the
patient's mother asks Benton for guidance, he refers her to the
psychiatric department. Keaton patiently rebukes Benton, reminding him
that the focus of pediatric surgery is the child, not the illness. He
apologizes. Gant allows Carter to move in with him. Weaver continues to
clash with Greene. She switches their duties, taking surgical cases
while Greene does boring medical matters. It doesn't work. Meanwhile,
Jeanie's medication for HIV is making her nauseous. When a handsome
construction worker, Mickey (BRIAN WIMMER - "China Beach"),
who brought in an injured friend, flirts with her, she reluctantly
rebuffs him. A young Korean girl who is afraid of men needs a pelvic
exam. Nurse Hathaway and new female intern Doyle are the only ones
she'll allow near her. Unfortunately, Hathaway must teach Doyle the
procedure. Hathaway considers studying to become a doctor. Hathaway's
mother, Halyna, offers to pay rent if Hathaway will let her stay at
Hathaway's house one night a week. Benton visits a former lover, Carla
Harris (recurring guest star LISA NICOLE CARSON), at her restaurant.
