Writer: Samantha Howard Corbin
Description: Since Al can't find work in Chicago,
he suggests to Jeanie that they move to Atlanta where a friend has
offered him a job. Anspaugh tries to persuade Benton to join the
surgical team of Dr. "Rocket" Romano (recurring guest star
PAUL McCRANE - "Fame," "Robocop"), a high-tech
surgeon who uses robotics. Corday is already a member of the team. The
hospital settles the Kenny Law malpractice suit, but the Law family is
still suing Greene for violation of civil rights. Ross refers Greene to
a good lawyer, but Greene angrily refuses his help. As the pressure
increases, Greene can no longer cope with all the demands placed on him.
He walks out of the e.r. with Cynthia following. Greene confides in
Cynthia, and they share a passionate kiss. Hathaway and Del Amico visit
the Carter estate. Del Amico is angry at Carter for hiding that he comes
from a very wealthy family. Hathaway privately meets with Carter's
grandmother, Millicent (FRANCES STERNHAGEN - "Cheers"), who
supports Hathaway's idea for a clinic and writes a generous check.
Anspaugh orders Weaver to attend a conference hosted by the Synergix
Physician's Group, an organization that streamlines management to reduce
costs. After the seminar, Weaver privately meets with symposium speaker
Dr. Ellis West (recurring guest star Clancy Brown - "Starship
Troopers"), who flirts with her. Weaver returns to County General
and terminates Jeanie as part of the new cost-saving measures. Ross'
father is killed in a car accident in California. When Ross visits
Greene at home to tell him, Cynthia answers the door --wearing Greene's
robe. Ross must travel to California to claim the body. Greene will
accompany him. Later at Hathaway's house, Ross professes his love to
Hathaway before he leaves.
