Description: Romano assigns Carter the responsibility
of showing Antoine Bell (recurring guest star COREY PARKER ROBINSON), a
student at a math-science magnet school, around the emergency room as
part of a mentoring program. The teenager impresses Carter with his
desire to learn. Romano becomes furious when he hears that Benton also
applied for the emergency room trauma fellowship. With amnesty granted,
Mobalage now pursues a civil engineering license and leaves his job at
the hospital. Concerned, Benton urges Jeanie to get tested to insure the
hepatitis medications work. She treats Reverend Matthew Lynn (ROSCOE LEE
BROWN - "The Mambo Kings") for a bruised thumb. In return, he
offers some healing prayers for her. Test results reveal her liver
functions well. Evans confronts Hathaway about social services making
the clinic responsible for monitoring Coco and her baby--a deal Hathaway
arranged without Evans's (the clinic administrator) permission. Coco
proves her ability to care for the baby. Lucy interviews Michael McKenna
(MIKE DOYLE), a law-school student who smashed his car with a baseball
bat. By using her talent to make people feel comfortable around her,
Lucy gets him to reveal that he hears demons. Seth Willows (VINCENT
BERRY), a troubled 10-year-old foster child, kicks Hathaway. Lucy does a
psychiatric consult with him and realizes he's overmedicated. Later,
Hathaway experiences abdominal cramps and tells Greene she is pregnant.
Greene urges her to call Ross and let him know. She obtains an
ultrasound, and the baby's heart beats normally. Corday is scheduled to
give a panel presentation at a meeting of the Chicago Society of Trauma
Physicians. Greene accompanies her, but they have transportation
problems and don't arrive in time. Instead, they join a wedding
reception and dance a tango together.
