Description: WILL
DR. GREENE'S FAMILY FALL APART? CAN ABBY PROTECT BATTERED NEIGHBOR? MARY
MCDONNELL AND MICHAEL GROSS GUEST-STAR -- While their baby daughter
continues to fight for her life, Dr. Greene (Anthony Edwards) has sharp
words with his wife, Dr. Corday (Alex Kingston), after she orders Rachel
(Hallee Hirsh) out of their home while Abby (Maura Tierney) might regret
championing a battered female neighbor (guest star Christina Hendricks)
who refuses to press charges against her abusive husband (guest star
Matthew Settle). Elsewhere, some bad munchies soon have everyone
scurrying for the bathroom as Kovac (Goran Visjnic) returns to help out
a short-handed staff. In addition: Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) confronts his
mother (guest star Mary McDonnell, "Dances with Wolves") over
issues of emotional abandonment and gets a surprise visit from his
father (guest star Michael Gross, "Family Ties"); the ER team
treats an elderly "polar bear" swimmer with heart problems; a
fearful 15-year-old girl with vaginal bleeding, and a recent lottery
winner who's unlucky enough to have been stabbed by a falling icicle; a
diminutive lap dancer (guest star Debbie Lee Carrington) who
accidentally swallows a customer's wedding ring. Laura Innes, Paul
McCrane, Ming-Na and Sherry Stringfield also star.
