Episode Summary

Neela and Gallant make the impetuous decision to get married – the same day. Kerry steps in to the Kovac/Clemente battle, encouraging them to get along, which results in a competition to be agreeable. Soon, Abby has her fill of them both, and teaches them a lesson when her patient crashes in CT. Morris, Ray and a somewhat rusty Kerry treat a man with hypothermia, leading Morris to take a stand regarding the best course of action. Luka, Clemente and Sam treat a boy with HIV whose mother refuses to believe HIV causes AIDS. At the day’s end, Neela and Gallant are married, despite Neela’s doubts. At the reception, Luka and Abby celebrate his appointment as Chief of Emergency Medicine, then later decide maybe “just friends” isn’t such a great idea after all.

    A beautiful one.. hide show

    Gallant is back and.. she wants to marry Neela, on that day.. but she thinks it is too crazy. But that is not the only crazy thing around. Clemente and Kovac are having agreeing spreed.. and it looks quite weird.. and makes Abby's treating much harder - plus she has a patient who does not want nothing to do with x-rays and most common medical things.. and in the end it comes out that little boy has AIDS and her mother has been the virus barer for many years.

    And Weaver... she has lost her skills with emergency medicine as it looks..and Morris has his hour to shine... And in the end.. we do have weddings.. :D

    I am glad Gallant is back, I hope he stays! hide show

    Seeing Gallant and Neela getting married so impulsive makes me think that something bad is about to happen. They seemed so happy and make a great couple. They are so cute together!
    I hope Gallant stays around, I really like his character and the caring nature of his character.

    It is good to see Weaver back in the ER. I like storylines with her in it and as one of the longest cast members still in it I think she should be in it a bit more.

    Kovac and Abby together ... I am glad because I didn't like him with Sam.

    not enough words to descirbe. hide show

    the only part of this episode i really enjoyed was toward the end. Luka previously told Abby that they should just be friends but this ending. I loved it. Hearing Luka sing Copa Cobana made me want the song. The end, lets describe it.

    The kiss. The makeout. The bed. And more.

    Will it last? it better! They really work well together and there has always been a connection between them.

    "Thank Goodness Abby was there to combat all that floating testesterone"

    And the rating is mostly thanks to the end! hide show

    wow wow wow wow WOW!!!!!

    That ending!!!

    It's the best thing since Wake-Up!!!

    So many smiles

    Quick thoughts:
    LUKA IS CHIEF! I think I was quite glad that Clemente withdrew his name and Luka won. I think it might have been a little too self-holying had Luka officially beaten Clemente.
    LUKE AND ABBY!
    NEELA AND GALLANT!
    JERRY IS A SUPREME MINISTER
    Didn't like the Kerry writing...but will we see more?
    Morris is improving
    AIDS family will probably return
    Great KJ (?) story-line involving racism. I loved the racism story-line, it was really well done. Especially from Pratt's perspective. And it was nice to see a Father who would completely fight for his child's rights.

    and...

    Luka singing!!!!!!!!!!! Oh how amazing!!!!!!!! I loved his singing! I am actually quite tone deaf myself, but that was the best part of the episode for me He was so sweet in a 'ah, bliss' sort of a way!

    the best bit of the episode was definitely the ending, though I did appreciate other bits. But it was like 'Wake Up' for me, in that I really enjoyed the whole episode and then the five minutes at the end had me loving it even more!

    Maureen was also great. Her line (x 2) was delivered just perfectly. I loved the character that the writers and casting staff managed there, in such a small part. 'm always emphasising what great casters ER have even for the tiny parts!).

    The write-up in my t.v. magazine was quite funny. It was discussing the agreeing competition between Luka and Clemente and said something along the lines of "Thank God Abby was there to lower all that testosterone!"



    Do you know another thought I had this episode (which I think I also had a couple of episodes ago), we're seeing quite a bit of a Neela/Dubenko workin thing. In season 11 we moslty saw Dubenko with Abby out of the three R2 but once they got the remaining Dubenko/Abby/lust plot out of the way, they've been allowing Neela to learn as his student instead this season.
