A River in Egypt
Lewis clashes with Weaver over the treatment of an injured condemned murderer, Mike Kinney (CYRIL O'REILLY), who wants to die in the emergency room rather than wait for his execution. Abby urges her battered next-door neighbor, Joyce (recurring guest star CHRISTINA HENDRICKS), to seek shelter from Joyce's abusive husband, Brian (recurring guest star MATTHEW SETTLE). A weary Carter must endure the warring of his parents, Jack (recurring guest star MICHAEL GROSS) and Eleanor (recurring guest star MARY McDONNELL), as they plan their divorce. Carter also diagnoses an aspiring rapper who tests positive for HIV but refuses to tell his naïve girlfriend. Meanwhile, Weaver is embarrassed in front of her colleagues by her uninhibited firefighter girlfriend, Sandy Lopez (recurring guest star LISA VIDAL). Weaver is also forced to rehire an indignant Chen after evidence is revealed that could implicate Weaver in the death of Chen's patient. Greene tries to help a guilt-stricken father, Julio Echeverria (EFRAIN FIGUEROA), who suffers a heart attack on the day his estranged daughter is to be married. At home, Greene struggles to rein in his wayward 14-year-old daughter, Rachel (recurring guest star HALLEE HIRSH).
