Mr. Ames shows up outside Luka and Abby’s place, while Pratt struggles with his recent discovery about his brother.
I don’t know if this is a fall finale or not…Don’t they usually do a Christmas ep. of some kind?
Yep, they showed previews for next week’s Very Special Holiday Miracle episode.
Interesting new Georgia nurse guy, although him hitting on Sam was rather a disappointment somehow.
Yay Luka for manning up to Ames, sure it was wrong and neanderthalish, but it was still hot. Hopefully he and Abby can work thru the inevitable fight well.
I agree! Sam just doesn’t deserve a decent guy. I mean, she couldn’t even treat Luka well and he’s a sweetie.
Whew that was one hot kiss!
Morris telling off the surgeon guy was the funniest ER scene in years.
It was hot? I thought it just made Luka look even more irrational and pathetic.
Luk shoulda told Ames he’s killed before.
I was disappointed that the docs referred to him as a male nurse/murse. Malik’s been a nurse on there all this time and they never deferentiate by gender like that.
Not having seen the episode, its hard to say for sure but maybe they just don’t like the new guy?
Not thinking that they actively dislike him, but they had some catty comments like “Georgia Peach” for the doe-eyed, pretty young thing that in their eyes was fresh off the turnip truck.
Final scene - who else was expecting an interior shot of the cab, the cabbie saying “Where to?” and Ames is at the wheel?
Hell yes. BTW, does “surgeon guy” even have a name? I’ve not heard him being referred to by name on the show. Is that intentional on the part of the writers, I wonder?
He certainly has a name. It just doesn’t seem to matter.
So…did the young girl cut herself to try to make herself less appealing to would-be rapists? I thought that was the implication from her mom’s conversation with Luka.
I would have thought Icepick Guy would lose consciousness long before they pulled the pick out. But I suppose stranger things happen all the time in ERs.
I didn’t quite get that scene at all. Why did a boy kissing her trigger her to do it again? It seemed like an incomplete segment to me. And why was her mother so calm when her daughter told her she knew who did it, but didn’t want to say? It was poorly acted, poorly written, poorly executed imo.
Kind of a non-episode for me all around, although I did like Morris telling off whatshisname - is it Reynolds or something?
No, that’s actually a shameless copy of a real live person who was hearing voices and stabbed an icepick into his head. (Without subscription access to medical journals, it’s not possible to read them, but this one seems to be pertinent.)
The fellow presented to the ER for some othe complaint - think it was because he was having trouble hearing out of the one ear (!) and being completely oblivious to the icepick that he’d jammed in earlier.
Outcome was largely identical to the real life guy as well - He was calm and about as alert and oriented as you could ever hope a persone with an icepick in their head ever could be. Hospital staff tried to pull it out, the handle broke off, and IIRC, they called Maintenance to get some Vise-Grip pliers to pull it out, bandaged up the ear and he went home.
Question:
I’ve tried to catch up on back episodes on TNT, but for the life of me I relaly can’t figgure this one out.
WHere the hell did Courday get to? Last I remember the Former MRs. Green was shagging some random Surgon guy at the hospital (does any one at this place EVERY sleep with someone that they DON’T work with?) , the baby and Mark’s Oldest were always off screen. Next thing I know she evaporated and was never mentioned again.
Any help?
Courday went home to England with the baby. I forget the reasoning exactly, but she caught the blame for some tragedy at the E/R in a power play.
I’m a bit puzzled by your use of the seemingly negatively judgmental adjective “shameless”. Isn’t that sort of based-on-real-life story exactly what ER should use? Would you prefer that it make up wacky medical situations that had never ever really happened?
She also said that the baby wouldn’t have the chance to get to know her English grandparents if she remained in the U.S.
IIRC, she was involved in an organ transplant between two HIV-positive patients, which was against regulations, even though they had asked her to do it. One of those “Screw the rules, I’m going with my morals!” things.
