Weaver confronts a dilemma when influential alderman John Bright, seeking treatment after a fall, tests positive for syphilispotentially damaging information that could become public. Meanwhile, Carter is impressed by irascible old Doctor McNulty, who oversees an inner-city medical clinic. A sympathetic Kovac defies conventional ethics when he tricks a seriously injured patient who refuses to leave his dying wife's side into believing that she has already expired.

    I do not know, even thought with all the motion and movement and excitement, that defenetly was on this episode, it somehow left me cold and did not brought much emotions.

    Weaver and Romano and trying to do everything to please that VIP man they had - it was quite interesting to see and it showed new aspect of Weaver, I think. I never thought she would that.

    Maybe I did not liked it so much as mainly it was Pratt episode - his brother and the case with that older brother who should take care of his younger sister-brother but tried to run away from it.

    Quite nothing happened episode.moreless
