ABBY SEE A RAY OF HOPE FOR HER UNBALANCED MOTHER? SALLY FIELD
GUEST-STARS -- A distressed Abby (Maura Tierney) sees a ray of hope in
the care of her mentally unbalanced mother (Oscar-winning guest star
Sally Field) when she receives some sage advice from the older woman in
a rare moment of clarity while Dr. Benton's (Eriq La Salle) old
girlfriend Carla (guest star Lisa Nicole Carson, "Ally McBeal")
squares off against his new love Cleo (Michael Michele). Elsewhere: Dr.
Greene's (Anthony Edwards) suspicions are aroused when he treats a
rebellious 7-year-old boy (guest star Emmett Shoemaker) who bears signs
of beatings; Dr. Carter's (Noah Wyle) plans to apply for chief resident
are brushed aside by Dr. Weaver (Laura Innes) while he watches fellow
candidate Dr. Chen (Ming-Na) take her best shot at the position; Weaver
suffers pangs of remorse when she meets the new woman in Dr. Legaspi's
(Elizabeth Mitchell) life and is confronted by a helpless, mentally
deficient young woman (guest star Julie Osburn) whose only family member
lies in critical condition; and the ER gang enjoys a spirited game of
softball. Goran Visnjic, Paul McCrane and Erik Palladino also star.
