Description: WILL ABBY LOSE CONTROL OF HER FULL-PLATE
OF PROBLEMS? OSCAR WINNER SALLY FIELD, ELI WALLACH AND PATRICK FUGIT
('ALMOST FAMOUS') GUEST-STAR-- As Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) returns from
his scuba trip, Abby (Maura Tierney) veers disturbingly close to a
breakdown in her attempt to cope with a multitude of problems, Dr.
Weaver (Laura Innes) confronts the man who stole her purse and Dr. Pratt
(Mekhi Phifer) accompanies paramedics -- and is later surprised by what
happens to a comatose homeless man found on the street. As Abby awaits
word on her missing flyboy brother and deals with her needy mom
(Oscar-winning guest star Sally Field), she and Carter try to keep a
brain-dead boy alive in order to comfort his grieving parents.
Elsewhere, Dr. Kovac (Goran Visnjic) finally arrives at the hospital in
the nick of time to aid an overdosed teen while Dr. Lewis (Sherry
Stringfield) helps an elderly man (guest star Eli Wallach, "The
Magnificent Seven") whose wife suffers from Alzheimer's and
hypothermia. Lewis is also flattered by her teenaged admirer (guest star
Patrick Fugit, "Almost Famous") -- which doesn't help
sugarcoat the grim news for her young cancer patient. Ming-Na also
stars..
