SALLY FIELD GUEST-STARS; CAN ABBY STOP JUDGE FROM RELEASING HER MENTALLY
DISTURBED MOTHER? -- Due to a clerical error, a startled Abby (Maura
Tierney) discovers that her suicidal mother (Oscar-winning guest star
Sally Field) is due in court for a competency hearing and she rushes to
testify that she should not be released -- but the older woman musters
an alarmingly masterful display of sanity before the judge. Meanwhile,
Dr. Weaver (Laura Innes) gives heartbreaking news to a sassy homeless
woman (guest star Bette Ford) who once hosted a children's show that
Weaver viewed as a child. Dr. Benton (Eriq La Salle) steps in to help a
junior high school teacher (guest star Roger Robinson) who was once his
mentor and now suffers a cardiac arrest. A busy Benton also injures his
hand while helping a fallen biker and learns that an injured Carla
(guest star Lisa Nicole Carson, "Ally McBeal") has checked
into the ER with his young son Reese (guest star Matthew Watkins). A
perplexed Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) treats a stricken pregnant woman (guest
star Kimberly McCullough) and then is angered when her husband (guest
star Henri Lubatti) informs him about what prompted her life-threatening
episode. Paul McCrane, Goran Visnjic, Michael Michele, Erik Palladino
and Ming-Na also star.
