    When last episode was shocking and quite scary, then this time. I have never liked Sam not seen the char much developing but this was her episode and I really liked it - the situation she was, the hopeless condition... and the decision she had to made in the end - it was quite predictable and I am really interesting to see what comes out of it. One shot would have been self defense, but three...?

    And ofcourse it was about Abby and Luka and Jerry... It is always much more tragic when someone of their own is hurt.

    And Abby.. and crying Luka.. oh.. very emotionalmoreless

    Best scene: "The 'One is all we need' scene", Abby & Luka looking at the picture of their son in Luka's cell phone.
    Funniest scene: "The Mongo scene", Abby & Luka discussing baby names. These two actors are just so great together!
    Most emotional scene: Luka in the restroom. Wow!
    Excellent acting by Goran & Maura throughout the episode.
    I was impressed by Linda Cardellini too. She does a very good job here. In fact, all the charachters seem to grow an inch or two, I mean maturity-wise, in this episode. Morris and Neela saving Jerry's life; Kerry supporting Luka in the NICU, just to name a few. Well done, everyone!!!moreless

    it was perfect!!, is like all the drama of the show have become in one amaizing episode, i had to wait a long time to see this episode, it was one of the most expected in the history of ER. everyone of them were suffering on a different way, each one with their own problems and also with everybody elses problems, at the end abby's mother came but this time she wasnt so hard on abby, sam had to kill steven to protect her and her son, luka got away very well, and is so exciting to remember all the things they went trough, i couldnt ask for a better episode, is one of the best!!moreless

    This was a really good season start. I was really looking forward to this episode and it turned out really great.

    PS: Can somebody tell me why you always have to say at least 100 words here... :p And now I really have to keep typing to get my words count up. xD

    This show could not be better and this episode proves it. As a long fan of Luca and Abbey I was overjoyed when they first got together mid season 12, but the season finale and opening episode of season 13 were the best i have ever seen. The passion is incredible, an so well portrayed by Goran Visnjic and Maura Tierney. I cried time and time again, due to he fact i watched this episode so many times. It's well worh keeping as an example of how good TV can be. This episode is something to be measured against as the best there ever was. ER Forever!moreless

Luka: (still looking at the printout) Yeah, it's a very popular name in Croatia. (breaks out in a grin, no longer able to hide the joke, then turns to Abby, who slugs his arm and laughs with him) Luka: I'm just kidding. My father's name is Josip. I don't care how we're gonna call him. Edit
