Description: Benton is obsessed with Megan, the
infant whose condition is critical due to his surgical error. Keaton
orders Benton to observe the dying baby to learn patience. Miraculously,
Megan's condition improves. Benton tries to regain his dignity by
relentlessly attempting to revive a young shooting victim. Keaton lets
him continue so that he will learn another lesson. Meanwhile, Mr. Percy
(WILLIAM SANDERSON - "Blade Runner," "The Rocketeer"),
a mentally impaired man, sneaks away from Dale before an operation.
After Carter locates the man and saves his life, Anspaugh allows Carter
to work on the operation with a visiting surgeon. To no avail, Carter
warns Dale and the others that Mr. Percy is not competent to sign his
own surgical consent forms. During the surgery, Carter notices a hole in
Mr. Percy's lung, causing Anspaugh to compliment Carter and reprimand
Dale, who is also present. This later leads to a fight between Carter
and Dale that is stopped by Keaton. Also, Carter and the older Keaton
finally act on their mutual attraction. The incompetent nurse, Sterling,
returns to the emergency room. When Sterling commits another grave error
while caring for an accident victim, Hathaway vows to report her. But
Sterling insists that she was unfairly assigned to the emergency room
because the administration wants to force her out before she can collect
her pension. She quits. Hathaway believes Sterling after another nurse
who is almost eligible for a pension is temporarily transferred out of
the emergency room to do unfamiliar work. After Greene overrides some of
Ross' decisions concerning patients, Ross confronts Greene about his
recent sanctimonious behavior. Greene admits that he has been judgmental
since the recent incident when Ross' date died in the emergency room
after using cocaine. When Greene apologizes, Ross confides that he is
consulting a therapist about his promiscuous lifestyle. Greene worries
that Lewis is dating Morgenstern. He's astounded when she tells him that
Morgenstern is only helping her transfer to a hospital in Phoenix,
Arizona, so that she can be near her niece.
