Two weeks after Christmas, Luka and Abby struggle with a decision about whether to keep the baby, which Luka wants but Abby is unsure she is ready to have. Abby treats three patients, each of whom triggers a flashback in which they discuss her fears, and what each of them wants. Luka discovers Neela has consulted with Dr. Coburn about Amanda, a pregnant, and very religious, 15-year-old girl, without first presenting to him. When Amanda’s parents refuse an abortion, the two differ over her care and whether Luka is influenced by his Catholicism. Later, Abby discusses her pregnancy with Coburn, and makes an appointment to see her. Luka removes Neela from Amanda’s case, before suggesting a termination option that Amanda can accept. Kerry takes a fall on the ice, injuring her hip, which may have to be replaced. Ray begs Kerry for time off to join his band in LA for a gig, but the band decides to move on without him. Clemente gets a visit from the two detectives looking for the missing Jodie, and later pays a quick visit to the drug lock-up for a little help. After her appointment, Luka finds Abby near the lake. He tells her they can still be together despite her choice, and she tells him she wants them to have the baby.

I did love the story this episode told and what it wanted to see - the main focus was on Abby and her decision - to keep the baby or not. Something inside her wanted that but she afraid the illness and she was not sure.. So, Kovac, who definitely wants to have children and be together with Abby, treats a patient who is very young, deep catholic and was raped and now is pregnant. She does not want the baby but her parents and her religious - that is the whole other story. So, Neela in one point think that Kovac, being religious himself, is not giving him the change to be in the full interest on patient and that somehow works for him like a revelation and works it out with that girl and then goes and finds Abby... so.. I think great storytelling but nothing more.
A pregnant Abby struggles with the decision of whether or not to keep her baby, while Ray is forced to choose a career: medicine or his band. hide show
Great episode! The Abby storyline was fantastic, its good to see ER hasn't lost it's touch, and is gaining a comeback. Abby, after she discovers she is pregnant with Luka's baby, struggles with the decision to keep the baby, while Luka nearly lets his personal beliefs affect his job, when a 15 year old, Catholic girl turns up pregnant after being raped. Meanwhile, Ray is forced to choose whether or not he wants to be a doctor, or be part of his band when they get a recording deal in LA.
I did think that it wasn't necessary to have flashbacks of Abby and Luka, we still got a good idea of what they were going through by the way they acted around each other, and the problems they face at work. Somehow, ER manages to pull of a serious storyline while also adding that extra humour, which is exactly why I love the show!
Yey a storyline with Weaver in it! hide show
Yey I was happy to see Weaver with a storyline on her for a change. Pitty it was because she was a patient but it could lead to more storylines with her in it and hpefully her son too.
I hate the storyline with Clemente and his "girlfriend", I don't think he really knows what he wants!
I am happy to see that Abby is keeping the baby. Although she has her concerns I think she will make a great parent ... and so will Luka. Like she said she is getting older and if not now when?
I wonder how Sam will react???
amazing episode. Kept me at the edge of my seat. hide show
This episode is a very moving one. I could not believe in the first place that Abby and Luka were going to have a baby, but now they well more of she, faces the decision whether to keep it or not. The flashebacks give us a picture of what we missed over the Christmas and New Years. In the end, Luka thinks that Abby is going to have an abortion, but at the office we see ehr looking at the kids and seeing the pain in her eyes. I knew she wanted it all along but the doubt of the baby being bipolar really got to me and made me rethink like how she probably did. Luka knows that she went back throught the park and she was sitting there on the bench. Abby lets him talk for about 3 minutes and finally tells him that she wants them to have the baby. YAY! love that.
The teenager and Abby made a really good connection so i knew that one would keep it and one would not.
awesome and moving episode.
this show has one of the best rating that i have seen and is not affraid to deliver a massage that is so touching and deep to many pople all over the world. The desition making prosses that involves the abortion or birht is well deliver by the directors in this show
