    I enjoyed this episode. Its quiet night in the ER & the staff is bored. So they decide to have some fun. Weaver gets Jeanie to be part of her research to be published. It was fun watching Jeanie be the guinea pig! But afterwords Carrie gets rewarded but not in a good way.. Doug & Carol spend some alone time talking. Grant is upset because Benton always seems to be on his case. He asks Carter for support but Carter doesn't say anything. Then the ER gets an unexpected patient. This episode mainly show character development. Either way its a good one.moreless

    In compression with the usual episode, this one is really quiet and peaceful - it is too cold outside to be sick. The nurses do not have much to do. Doctors are more focused on their privates things or works undone as Mark needs much paperwork done and Weaver is trying to find someone as a labrot for her study. Some character development as Greene is also trying to get some personal life. Gant, who has been working much lately, is not impressing Benton at all and when he brings it to big clock, Carter fails him, as he is in the same time trying to get along with Benton too as he has just discovered about him and Keaton.

    All that quietness and nothing to do, makes Carter to go down to ER in case something can be done here - and it is empty and quiet there too, until it is said that trauma is going in.

    A serious injuries, with not much hope, the tempo up is the fist time of the episode only to learn that the injured one is Gant. Shocking end.moreless

    My admiration for ER is probably as transparent as a clean window. But after watching this episode I was once again compelled to share my feelings in this review. This episode was definitely slower paced than a normal ER episode, but I still thought it was excellent. One of the elements about this episode that jumped out at me was that it seemed as if it was real time. It also spent most of the episode engaging in character development. It also showcased the relationships between the characters, which I believed was crucial. This episode was another reason why I watch this show and why you should too. Check it out.moreless

    This episode starts out slow and boring, but the action just keeps building to a dramatic finish. Throughout the episode, you just keep expecting something to happen. First we see Dr Greene caring for the woman with menningitis and trying to get consent for the spinal tap. Then we see Charlie coming into the ER beaten and Gant's dispute with Benton. Finally we see the great surprising ending with Dr Gant's death. It's an unforgettable episode for a lot of reasons with a lot of surprises. We also learn a little about Carol and Doug's past with the great scene in the storage room.moreless

    • Benton: I came by to see if you'd reconsider writing me a recommendation. I mean, you've always complimented my surgical skills... And with a recommendation, I could get another Pediatric rotation. Keaton: And if I don't? Benton: What do you mean if you don't? Keaton: Will you report my relationship with Dr. Carter? Benton: You think I'm threatening you? Keaton: Are you? Benton: Dr. Keaton, if your recommendation isn't based on my abilities as a doctor, I don't want it. Edit
    • Mark: Randi, you know we got a DB in the hallway? Randi: The morgue's slow. I put him near the door to keep him cool. Mark: Good thinking. Edit
    • (the doctors are trying to save a man who was hit by the El, and the patient's beeper goes off)< Malik: Whose beeper is that? Benton: It's coming from the patient. Malik: (looking at the beeper) Lydia, what number did you page Gant to? Lydia: This room, 3376. Malik: That's the number on this pager. Doyle: Oh, my God. Carter: What? Doyle: The patient! It's Gant!
