Description: IN SEASON OPENER, DR. CARTER BATTLES DRUG
DEMONS WHILE EMERGENCY ROOM COPES WITH STRIKE AND RIOT -- In the season
premiere, Dr.
Carter (Noah Wyle) struggles to overcome his chemical dependency in a
detox center while Dr. Greene (Anthony Edwards) returns from vacation to
find the ER awash in garbage during a custodial strike -- and a riot
during a high school football game further clogs the halls with the
rival wounded. Meanwhile, Greene finds unexpected complications when he
treats the first victim, a likable injured player (guest star Wentworth
Miller), and discovers that he must also minister to himself for a rash
caused by poison ivy. Abby (Maura Tierney) arrives back from another
rotation and tries to help an elderly man (guest star James Callahan)
whose wife is dead on arrival; later, she's furious when her ex-husband
(guest star Mark Valley) jeopardizes her clerkship when he does not pay
her tuition. Dr. Benton (Eriq La Salle) grits his teeth when he
interviews for an attending -- a lucrative supervisorial position --
with Dr. Romano (Paul McCrane). Laura Innes, Alex Kingston, Goran
Visnjic, Michael Michele, Ming-Na and Erik Palladino also star.
