Getting To Know You

A distracted Lucy fumbles with her notes and appears uninformed when she performs hospital rounds with Romano, Carter and others. Off Ritalin for two days, she displays her ineptness with a child patient in the psychiatric department. She resumes taking the Ritalin. Carter's former protigi, Antoine Bell, comes to the emergency room with minor injuries. His wallet was stolen. He later returns--beaten--having retaliated against the thug who robbed him. Now, Antoine's arms will have to be placed in a cast, and he will be unable to interview for the summer science lab program.

A patient, Celinda Randlett (TERI GARR - "Tootsie"), says she is medically empathetic (she feels what is happening inside other people), and she accurately diagnoses the patients surrounding her in the emergency room. Celinda asks Hathaway--in the presence of nurse Lydia Wright (recurring guest star ELLEN CRAWFORD)--when the baby is due. The staff deduces that Hathaway is pregnant. Greene and Corday perform an ultrasound on Hathaway that reveals she is bearing twins. Later, the emergency room staff gives Hathaway an impromptu baby party.

Weaver rescues an abandoned, drugged 2-year-old boy. Romano introduces a complicated telephone code to the emergency room employees, and Anspaugh becomes furious with him because of it. Romano offers Corday the cardiothoracic fellowship that Benton rejected. And Carla informs Benton that she got married last week and plans to move to Germany with her new husband and Reese. Later, Benton goes to Carla's apartment, takes Reese from the baby-sitter and brings him home. Jeanie realizes she cares for Officer Reggie Moore and tells him she has contracted hepatitis C. They have a meaningful talk. And Greene and Corday share their first kiss.
