Episode
Number: #59
Director: Jonathan
Kaplan
Writer: Paul Manning
Description: Greene prepares for his tenure
review next week, hoping to join the faculty. His main competition is
Weaver. When Weaver tries to recruit subjects for a grant to study the
physical behavioral patterns of night-shift workers, Jeanie feels
obligated to help Weaver, so she joins the study. Hathaway and Ross
volunteer to perform a designated safety check to help Greene. They make
a good team as they round up dangerous equipment. The former lovers
stumble upon a room where they used to meet, and they recall old
memories. After stealing expensive silverware from Hathaway's home on
Christmas Eve, Charlie comes to the  emergency
room to get money from Ross to pay her pimp. Not believing her claim
that she is in danger, Ross refuses her. Later, Charlie returns to the
hospital, beaten and raped. Benton finds Keaton cuddling with Carter on
her couch just before she leaves the emergency room to go work in
Pakistan. The mortified Keaton assumes that Benton will blackmail her in
order to get another rotation in pediatric surgery. But Benton's ethics
will not allow him to do that. Gant feels Benton is being too tough on
him. But when Gant's mistake nearly causes a young patient to die,
Benton gets even tougher. Greene puts his career in jeopardy when he
treats a woman who refuses to give her consent. Later, he and nurse
Chuni Marquez (recurring guest star LAURA CERSN) subtly flirt during the
night shift. After work, they consummate their attraction to each other
in Greene's bedroom. Benton, Carter and Doyle feverishly work to save a
victim who either tripped or threw himself in front of a subway.
Although the patient is unrecognizable due to the injuries, they soon
realize the victim is Gant.
