When The Bough Breaks

Greene's ex-wife, Jenifer (recurring guest star CHRISTINE HARNOS), is upset by Greene's paranoid behavior. She tells him that she won't allow their young daughter to visit him until he returns to normal.

Carter and Del Amico greet another pair of new medical students. Carter hopes for a better student this time but is disappointed. Del Amico is angered by what she considers Ross' patronizing attitude towards her although she calms down later.

Weaver obtains a copy of the proposal for Ross' fellowship, which is funded through the e.r. She tells Ross that he must find some research grants to cover his salary or join a private practice.

Benton and Carla prepare for their baby's homecoming. Benton equips Carla's home with an array of medical machinery and trains Carla as if she were one of his medical students.

Dismissed from a job site, Al believes it is due to his HIV status. Meanwhile, Weaver becomes angry when Jeanie risks infecting a man with her HIV virus in order to save his life.

Outside, Carter accuses Benton of mistreating him in the e.r. He ends up hitting Benton, who knocks Carter down. Benton claims that he's angry that Carter ended his surgical residency under Benton after Benton expended a lot of time teaching him.

Even though she doesn't know she's pregnant, a crack-addicted woman delivers a stillborn baby. Hathaway discovers that Greene never ordered a pregnancy test during the patient's previous hospital visits for stomach pains.
