Joi"
Original Air Date: February 4, 1999
Episode
Number: #105
Director: Christopher
Chulack
Writer: Lydia Woodward
Description: Weaver interviews Corday about being
sexually harassed by Romano. Later, Romano warns Corday that Benton
could be dismissed for having sex with Corday while he was her
supervisor. Corday tells Weaver she refuses to testify against Romano.
Weaver reluctantly informs Romano that the investigation is closed, but
the reports are in the file. At Weaver's suggestion, Romano agrees to
change his negative evaluation of Doyle. He volunteers to become acting
chief of the emergency room, and the harried Anspaugh gladly accepts.
Benton takes Reese to sign-language class but feels uncomfortable there.
One of Carter's medical students, Dudzik (STEVEN PETRARCA), discovers a
large lymph node on another student, Strauss (DAVID HORNSBY). A biopsy
proves that Strauss has Hodgkin's Disease, a treatable form of  lymphoma.
After administering to an adopted man who knows nothing about his
genetic history, Weaver decides to find her birth parents. Greene
befriends a Nigerian hospital worker, Mobalage (recurring guest star
DJIMON HOUNSOU - "Amistad"). Hathaway treats an older woman,
Alice (BARBARA TARBUCK), who must be admitted because she has a
dangerous embolism. However, Alice has many dogs in her van that must be
cared for. The staff take the dogs to their homes. Weaver and Greene
tell Ross they won't report the lapse in protocol Ross caused when he
gave Joi's son the study medicine. Joi returns to the hospital with
Ricky, who is near death. Joi wants him to die at home. Ross suggests a
patient-controlled analgesic administered intravenously. An unsuspecting
Hathaway orders the equipment, which will assist Ricky in dying, through
her clinic.
