"Greene
With Envy"
Original Air Date: October 14, 1999
Episode
Number: #117
Director: Peter Markle
Writer: Patrick Harbinson
Description: Weaver
introduces Greene to Dr. Gabriel Lawrence (recurring special appearance
by ALAN ALDA - "M.A.S.H."), a distinguished-looking physician
reputed to be a founding father of emergency medicine. Greene
immediately dislikes him because Weaver never consulted Greene about
hiring the new attending. Greene and Lawrence argue about ordering a
test for a patient. Corday agrees with Lawrence, upsetting Greene, but
later Greene and Corday have sex together for the first time. Lawrence
fails to administer a pregnancy test on a pregnant 12-year-old girl and
Greene finds the error. Romano assigns Corday the task of giving
newspaper reporter Paula Trancoso (CHRISTINE TUCCI) a tour of the er.
Shocked to see Carter, a resident, practicing on patients--even though
under Benton's supervision--Paula gets in the way of a trauma. Corday
comforts Elaine about her mastectomy. The surgery goes well. A teenager
pretends to be a relative to gain access to a gunshot victim. In
reality, he's the shooter and fires several shots then escapes. No one
gets hit. Kovac treats Loren Johnson
(JENNIFER MORRIS), a battered woman, for a broken arm. He antagonizes
her husband who hits him. But later, the couple leaves together. Benton
is grateful because Cleo treats Reese for a fever and an earache.
Despite Cleo's warning, the private physician and the parents of a young
car accident victim insist on transferring the boy to a private
hospital, and he almost dies. Weaver summons Reggie and Jeanie as they
leave for their wedding in New Orleans. Inside a room is baby Carlos
Ortega. With Weaver's help, Jeanie has temporary approval as a foster
parent. While holding Carlos, Jeanie marries Reggie at the courthouse.
