BRING NO ASSURANCE OF PEACE AS BENTON FIGHTS FOR SON -- As December 25
nears, Dr. Benton (Eriq La Salle) boils over with rage and frustration
as his custody trial for his son Reese hits a critical stage -- and he
must choose between his ER job and the child unless the cranky Dr.
Romano (Paul McCrane) agrees to custom-tailor his work schedule.
Elsewhere, a busy Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) finds romance, receives some
jolting news from his father (guest star Michael Gross, "Family
Ties") who's visiting for the holidays and then ministers to a boy
whose fall from a tree causes great concern among his tight-knit family;
Dr. Weaver (Laura Innes) is perplexed by a pregnant woman who's ready to
deliver her baby despite remaining in a coma for a year; a sobbing young
mother accidentally shoots her son near the Christmas tree, and a
curious Abby (Maura Tierney) spies Dr. Kovac's (Goran Visnjic) elusive
French girlfriend (guest star Julie Delpy) sneaking through the
hospital. Anthony Edwards, Alex Kingston, Michael Michele and Sherry
Stringfield star. Lisa Vidal (NBC's "Third Watch")
