Description: A police
detective asks Corday to talk with Dean Rollins about where he hid the
body of a girl he raped and murdered. Rollins fails to reveal any
information. Later, Rollins tells Corday he wants to die. She promises
to administer a lethal dose of morphine if he discloses the dead girl's
location. She gives him the injection as he's about to confess. While
Carter treats a difficult patient, new er resident Jing-Mei Chen (new
series star MING-NA) assists him. Carter recognizes Chen, previously
known as Deb, a former County General medical student who quit medicine
and recently returned. Later, the strong-willed Chen tries to assist a
gay female runaway whose parents want to send her to a treatment center
for gender identity. Kovac administers to 18-year-old Dillon (BRIAN
HOOKS), accompanied by his 14-year-old developmentally disabled brother,
Jake (ANDREW FOGENAY WILSON). The two boys live alone.  Kovac
tries to help them, but Weaver calls social services, and Adele Neuman
(recurring guest star ERICA GIMPEL - "Profiler") insists
Dillon can't care for Jake properly. She takes a frightened Jake away.
Kovac tells Weaver that his wife and children died in the Bosnian war.
He does not believe in separating family members. Cleo and Benton help
high school basketball player Tamara Davis (GABRIELLE UNION).
Overwhelmed by her parents' pressuring her to succeed, Cleo realizes
that Tamara just needs a rest. Meanwhile, Malucci competently repairs
Weaver's car but fears dealing with his young patient, who is dying of
cancer and must be told. After escaping from his retirement facility,
Greene's father barricades himself in his home in San Diego. Greene asks
his father to move to Chicago and live with him.
