Ghosts
On a stormy Halloween, a huge man dressed as a monster is shot in the chest. Gant impresses Weaver with his work on the victim. But Gant doubts himself when Benton arrives, and Benton replaces him with Carter. Later, Gant discovers that Benton is making him work harder than the other interns because people might think that Gant's been given preference due to his race.
In another case, Carter treats a young girl and her father who were both hit by a car. When the man dies, Carter decides not to inform the daughter until after her operation. But when Carter later tells her the truth, she says that she already knew--her dad communicated with her during surgery.
Jeanie clashes with new intern Doyle, who wants to obey a terminally ill patient's "do not resuscitate" order and let her die. Jeanie follows the wishes of the patient's husband, saving her life. Also, Jeanie must take a second mortgage on her house to pay her and Al's bills for HIV treatment.
Hathaway enrolls in a pre-medical school physics class. Her lab partner is 15 years old and knows a lot more about physics. She also rides with Ross in the health mobile, Anspaugh's ill-conceived idea, which travels through poor neighborhoods giving free medical treatment. Wearing bulletproof vests, they are more like ambulance workers treating crime victims.
While Benton and Carter examine a 2-year-old patient, they are quizzed by Keaton on child development. Benton's answers are very wrong, while Carter, who is naturally at ease with children, answers them all correctly. Benton's efforts to make the children like him fail.
Greene and Ross are still tense around each other. Also, Lewis, who never went to Hawaii because she is afraid of flying, still wonders if Greene is romantically interested in her--and vice versa. At a Halloween party, Greene dances with Lewis. Finally, rumors circulate about the ghost who inhabits the fifth floor of the hospital. Greene and Lewis venture upstairs. While there, they feel a strange rush of cold air . . .
