Tonight, Abby and Luka seek a nanny, while Mr. Ames continues to haunt Luka; and a patient with the flu turns out to have…well, more than the flu.
bump
For a second I thought that kid was Sam’s offspring. Holly crap? Weaver has a cousin from Eastern Europe!
Was flu-guy on Oz?
I don’t know – when he was angry, he looked familiar, but so many characters passed through Oz, it’s hard to remember.
IMDB lists a credit for a “screaming guy” but that wasn’t Clyde-Willis-Andre. NBC doesn’t bother to list the actors, or if they do, it’s buried somewhere.
He broke my heart. Didn’t he break yours?
Ames makes me nervous. They’re telegraphing that he’s a threat to little Joe. I won’t watch when that happens. (I don’t understand why the hospital can’t offer Ames some free rehab or job training – Luka’s lawyer was a tad too gleeful that he’s getting nothing.)
Good episode. Whoever played Flu Guy did a helluva job. Let us know if you find out who he is.
Someone at TWOP knew – it’s Shawn Hatosy but I don’t see Oz in his credits.
Why didn’t Abby recognize Ames?
I missed this. How did we find this out and who is he/she?
Regarding, the Forrest Whittaker subplot, I couldn’t be more pleased.
One thing E.R. desperately needs is a storyline in which one of the characters is stalked. Anything to get them away from all those, y’know, hospital things.
Isn’t the nanny desperation kinda silly, since the hospital has daycare provided on-site? The same daycare that Susan used for her neice, Benton for his son, Marc and Elizabeth, Carol Hathaway, etc. Qualified professionals, you get to pop up in slow moments to see your kid, has to cost less than a nanny, no one’s told these two about it?
I rather enjoyed Sam telling Morris that he’s a little bitch. 
I kept expecting Vic Mackey to come along and show him the business end of his 9.
You mean the one nanny applicant was a hardass like Weaver? 
She was never in court as she and Luka are working off-shifts so one can stay home with Joe. yes, Ames came in the ER last night but she wasn’t around.
I’m predicting a relationship between Weaver and the television producer.
And who the hell would bring a toddler into the potentially violent cesspool of germs that is that ER???
Poor Ray, having to see Neela like that. Will his plot to make her jealous work?
Apparently because the writers felt the need to stick in that old, cliched scene with parents interviewing a series of bad nannies that’s been done in other TV shows and movies a million times.
I also thought it was stupid that Abby and Luka suddenly decided to get a nanny after that scene with Abby and the nannies at the park (last week?). But I guess I’m a tad crabby this morning.
The Neela storyline was stupid. I swear I saw them arguing, yelled out “kiss already!” at the television set about five seconds before they of course kissed. Writers should try not to be that predictable.
The best part was the Morris storyline. I loved how Linda Cardellini’s character told him off and then helped him out with the multiple personality guy. The last scene made me cry. It was a nice mixture of patient and doctor plotlines. That is what makes the show still worth watching.
Did the actors get into a fight or something? 'Cause all that insane hawtness of Neela’s dream last week was gone, leaving behind a “passionate” love scene with less chemistry than a 3rd grade science project. I was literally grossed out by the obvious tongue-less kissing.
I was wondering about the day care, too! Maybe they don’t take 'em quite that young? My first kid’s day care didn’t start until 12 months, and Joe is only “5 1/2” months in ER time. Or, maybe Luka has some immigrant objection to group child care for infants. (Are nannies de rigeur in Croatia?)
Yeah, she and Michael getting together when he came back from Iraq was much more sexually tense and realistic.
Yeah, I thought John Stamos would be a hotter kisser than that!
I agree about Morris. The DID thing was good but since it’s not a universally accepted disorder it felt more like a gimmick. But the actor was good. And Morris relating to the child alter was very cool.
“You make three times what I do and for what? To give orders and not carry them out?” Classic.
Thank you!
Willis-Clyde-Andre did make me very sad. I always get sad whenever I think about what must have happened in someone’s childhood to make someon fragment like that, how much pain and horror 
I love the fact they are tryign to give Morris a personality, I hate that whiny guy he is normally, ever since he was first on as an intern.
I did not like the make-out session between Neela and John Stamos (what the hell is his character’s name? TONY!). It seemed very forced and no chemistry. I have never liked that stupid fight until you kiss thing.
I think her and Ray have much more chemistry. I like Ray, but hated his smarmy smile at the surgical intern girl when she mentioned tonsil hockey.
And ER has done some great kisses. The first kiss between Abby and Luka for example.
Nothing better happen to Joe or I am not watching it anymore!
BTW what the hell is up with that surgical guy? Do they just need an asshole on this show, first Benton (but at least he had redeeming qualities too) who was the most realistic, the Romano and now this guy!
Can’t they make him more realistic instead of just constantly a jerk? Benton wasa jerk most of the time but sometimes showed his softer side.
Was the Andre personality the one who approached the little boy with the Matchbox collection in the waiting room?
It made me sad as well, especially that last scene with Morris.
Yeah, it was. I’ve never forgotten something that happened to my oldest, years ago. He was about four years old. We were living in a housing project in Seattle. He’d been outside playing with some older kids and I was watching from the kitchen window. When the kids went inside one of their apartments, Mike followed them up on the porch. They shut the door. The way he looked, standing on the porch all by himself, broke my heart.
Now I regret deleting this from the TiVo. I’d like to watch it again, just for Hatosy’s scenes.
