This episode seems to be the one, where everyone is effected of troubles around them. A lot of dramatic and tragic scenes. First the little children and the whole story why things went as they went. Then ofcourse Luka and Abby. Luke does what he thinks is the right thing and while doing it she hurts Abby's feelings and those last scenes trying to get a taxi - it really showed the variety of the emotions they have around.
And Ray and Neela and Gates. I think what Ray said was right and Neela just does not understand yet what she is getting herself in as with few beautiful words she is ready to play the came Gates wants.
This is an example of the versatility of Goran Višnjic's acting; he is equally good at playing tender, caring scenes and violently dramatic ones, as this episode shows. hide show
Cutest scene turning into scary scene: Luka feeding little Joe, seeing Curtis Ames through the window and running outside, but Ames can't be seen anywhere. A scene that leaves you with an ice cold feeling of worry.
Best scene: Luka in the locker room comforting Angela. It's such a sad sad story.... Best "angry Luka scene": Luka threatening Ames. Goran is very credible as "angry Luka" (and, judging by earlier seasons of the show, Luka has always reacted like this when Abby has been under some kind of threat). Forrest Whitaker is excellent, as usual, and I have to say it again: Forrest and Goran work so well together.
Best "angry Abby scene": Abby freaking out after Luka eventually tells her about Curtis Ames.
Weirdest scene: The patient with an ice pick in his head.
A little bit of everything for everyone... hide show
My memory's already a little fuzzy over what happened because once I finished watching this episode I went upstairs and watched about four episodes from season 10, but here goes...
Pratt: His relationship with his brother Chaz is still pretty shaky...but if he weren't such a womanizer it might have been easier for him to accept his brother's sexual orientation. But, Pratt is...Pratt. What else are you gonna do about it?
Patients: Firstly, that guy with the icepick stuck in his ear to block the demons? I saw the episode of Untold Stories of the ER where this was featured,and it was imitated nearly exactly. Thanks to this guy, Hope gained some respect, and we all got to watch Morris knock Creepshaw---erm, Crenshaw, down a notch. But then again, Crenshaw was absolutely right: you're never supposed to just pull things out like that. More trauma is usually caused *after* foreign objects are removed...just pulling the ice pick out like that would have likely resulted in severe bleeding and damage. But we dislike Crenshaw and root for Mo-mo-morris!
Quote of the show was definitely right after Morris's speech:
Hope: I could kiss you right now.
Morris: Really?
Hope: Umm...Now it's gone. ...
The other patient made me extremely sad....poor girl. Nobody should have to feel that they have to do that to themselves.
Oooh and the new and potential couples...!
Ray and Katey? What's with the secrecy? Everyone in the ER has more or less slept with everyone else at some point or another, and trying to hide that relationship is like trying to hide from someone by standing the middle of the room and covering your eyes, shouting "You can't see me!"
Ooh and watch out, Nurse Ben! Let's see, he's strong, he's quick-acting in emergency situations(always a bonus when working in the ER, right?) and he's very straightforward with his thoughts and emotions. Sounds like a female version of Sam to me. Obviously this is gonna be Sam's new relationship to make up for crushing Samka-believers' souls with the return of Luby and with the death of the only other man in Sam's life(not that he was very much of a man)...I like Ben so far, but I think that he and Sam are far too much alike for this ship to sail very far.
And how can we forget Luby:
Surprise, Surprise! Luka cannot communicate to save his life! You think that after sinking so many relationships through lack of communication that he would make *some* effort...but I suppose old habits die hard. As for the EL scene: You want to make things up to someone, get on the EL...everything gets better on the EL.
teenaged girl is found in front of her school, bleeding and apparently raped. As Luka and Gates treat her, Abby and Neela try figure out the truth about what happened, while Luka must help the girl's mother. hide show
Great episode and good title. I so like when Luka gets angry because he sees Ames but then he is gone. Then he threatens Ames when he said he wasn't their and trying to live his life day by day. I like when Luka is talking to the cop dude and he said that Ames is just a loser with a crappy job! Haha! That was so funny! I so don't get why that girl would cut herself even though I know she was drepressed but most people when they are depresses just cut their wrists and not their whole body.
Ok, this was a good one just because Hope and Morris. hide show
