Trama

Patients include a pregnant teacher whose student/lover was critically injured while driving; a man who is hiding a gunshot wound and a brilliant young boy who knows he is dying, but hides it from his mother. Dr. Moretti continues to remake the ER to his liking, Neela is recovering, Luka's absence is reinforced (back in Croatia and not coming back) and Sam may be starting a new relationship with a police officer.—Dave Goldhirsch

Moretti continues to implement new measures that cause the doctors to dislike him. Abby treats a patient with a stomachache only to find he's hiding a bullet that detectives need. Morris and Sam treat a teacher and student who were involved in a car accident and they are shocked to discover why they were together. Pratt speaks out on his dislike for Moretti to Anspaugh and suggests himself for the Chief position. Gates befriends a precocious boy in the ICU, who is hiding a deadly illness from his mother. Meanwhile, a recovering Neela is anxious to be discharged.—Anonymous

Tony starts his ICU 'punishment, told the doc in charge has not time fro ER rejects, so spends time with schoolboy genius Joshua Lipnicki, who figured out his rare, fatal condition but can't tell his mother. Moretii has Abby, to whom he explains ER developed from wartime field hospitals, spend all day in the waiting room, unable to resist taking patients to ER. She notably takes shot-wounded Latino working poor Carlos Vega, who fears his bullet be linked to a shop hold-up, to Dubenko, who helps cover until the police home search indicates guilt. Abby misses Luka and Neela is recovering, so she invites her to 'help mind Henry'.—KGF Vissers
