ER: The Providers

« prev episode next » episode

After a 16-year-old is brought in with renal failure, Carter believes that the new drug she was on was released to the public too early, causing Carter and Weaver to get into a huge shouting match. The girl's neurologist, George Henry, who recommended the drug, is a former student of Carter's. Everyone knows about Neela's crush on Luka and he tries to pass her off to Carter for the day. After Luka tells Neela that he didn't mean to mislead her, she has a brief talk with Sam about the situation. Abby and Jake work together on a number of sex-related cases. Jake wants to date Abby, but she turns him down because she obviously can't go out with her med student. Add a recap »
