ABBY LOOKS FOR DISTURBED AND AWOL BROTHER; OSCAR WINNER SALLY FIELD
RETURNS TO GUEST STAR -- Abby's (Maura Tierney) family nightmare
continues when she goes in search of her AWOL brother (guest star Thomas
Everett Scott) -- whom she suspects is suffering from the same bi-polar
mental problems as her mother (Oscar-winning guest star Sally Field,
"Norma Rae") -- and the two women meet at a Midwestern air
force base in hopes of preventing his military court-martial. Back at
the snowed-in hospital, Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) struggles to get out of
Chicago to join Abby while Dr. Corday (Alex Kingston) treats a family of
patients who are severely injured by a truck driver while building a
snowman. Meanwhile, Corday tries to help the father make a life-or-death
decision while she sympathizes with the troubled Dr. Nathan (guest star
Don Cheadle) as he struggles with his increasing symptoms of Parkinson's
disease. Laura Innes, Goran Visnjic, Sherry Stringfield and Sharif
Atkins also star.
