After Chloe takes Susie away, Lewis deals with her loneliness by focusing intently on her job, which impresses Weaver. Weaver and Greene recommend aborting a pregnant woman's fetus because of her extremely high blood pressure, until Lewis discovers that the cause is a tumor in the patient's adrenal gland, which can safely be removed. Lewis also learns the reason that a man almost overdosed on his medication--he can't read. When Ross and Benton work together to save a little girl who was hurt in a water heater explosion, Ross begrudgingly admits his respect for Benton's skill. Benton finds out that his efforts to expose Vucelich's fraudulent clamp-and-run study apparently had an effect. An addendum is added mentioning the deviant results, but Benton is told that it was always intended. Weaver is disappointed when Benton is named resident of the year instead of her. She's also surprised to learn that Vucelich nominated Benton. Greene gets upset at an oncologist for mistreating an ex-prostitute, Loretta (recurring guest star MARY MARA). Diagnosed with cervical cancer, she underwent a radical hysterectomy recently and is suffering from radiation burns and numerous other complaints. While making final divorce arrangements, Greene and Jennifer have sex but still plan on getting divorced. Still angry about Raul's death, Shep gets into trouble when he fights with the brother of a gunshot victim. After Hathaway helps a blind woman who bit off the fingertip of a would-be mugger, the robber comes in to the emergency room, and Hathaway matches the incriminating fingertip to him. Carter is depressed to learn that he must forgo a plastic surgery elective and work extra time with Ross in pediatrics in order to graduate with his class. He mistakenly thinks that it will be easy work. Ross' father, Ray, disappears with a lot of money belonging to Karen, Ray's attractive business associate. Ross has sex with her. |
