Number: #139 Director: Paris Barclay Writer: R. Scott Gemmill
Description: DR. BENTON SUFFERS ER CHIEF'S WRATH; DR.
CARTER RETURNS TO WORK IN LIMITED ROLE -- Dr. Benton (Eriq La Salle)
learns the sobering price of a previous challenge to the authority of
tyrannical chief Dr. Romano (Paul McCrane) while a recovering Dr. Carter
(Noah Wyle) chafes under the restrictions imposed on his role during his
first day back in the emergency room after his drug treatment. Likewise,
obstetrics nurse Abby (Maura Tierney) is peeved when she is beset by
nagging hassles and is asked by Dr. Weaver (Laura Innes) to fill in as
an ER nurse until she can re-enroll in medical school. The collapse of
an elevated walkway in a sci-fi convention floods the ER with
out-of-this world costumed patients while Dr. Corday (Alex Kingston)
must talk Dr. Greene (Anthony Edwards) through a complicated procedure
via an intercom while she too performs surgery. Ambitious desk clerk
Frank (guest star Troy Evans) -- a former cop -- causes chaos when he
keeps running computer security checks on suspicious patients with
surprising results. Another patient (guest star Jamie Marsh) checks in
claiming to suffer from spontaneous combustion. Ming-Na, Goran Visjnic,
Michael Michele and Erik Palladino also star.
