Friendly Fire
Carter accuses Dr. Maggie Doyle (recurring guest star JORJA FOX), a lesbian, of being interested in Del Amico and, therefore, giving the best cases to her. He also can never locate his medical student.
A job-related injury forces Jeanie's ex-husband, Al Boulet (recurring guest star MICHAEL BEACH - "Soul Food"), to admit his HIV status to one of his coworkers, Bill (recurring guest star MICHAEL JACE).
After consulting with Greene, Carter informs the husband of a comatose patient that she will never recover. Seconds later, the patient awakens but needs emergency surgery. Bulimic patient Laura Quentin returns to the emergency room as a result of Greene's negligence on her previous visit. Greene cannot perform sexually after a romantic dinner date with a water-polo player.
Since Hathaway and Ross' love affair remains a secret, newcomer Corday asks Ross to escort her around the city. Hathaway reacts with jealousy, despite Ross' reassurances to her.
Chief of staff Dr. Donald Anspaugh (recurring guest star JOHN AYLWARD) officially appoints Weaver as Morgenstern's temporary replacement. Weaver enacts unpopular cost-saving measures and warns Ross that his fellowship, paid by the e.r., may be in jeopardy.
A married couple--who are arms merchants--check into the e.r. due to a weapons-related accident. Unit services coordinator Jerry Markovic (recurring guest star ABRAHAM BENRUBI) guards their weapons and accidentally discharges one, starting a fire in the ambulance loading bay. As a result, Weaver advises Jerry to use some of his vacation time while the hospital evaluates his continued employment.
Against Benton's wishes, Carla asks Del Amico to circumcise baby Reese. And Carter and Del Amico have a first date at the Laundromat.
