A well written ending for this adventurous, moving season.

"Superb"

By Parricida, Sep 19, 2007

To think back where all those chars when this season started and to the way the have gone trough so if can be said very well that this episode is conclusive.

First we will find out that Jeanie and her ex are doing very well and things are good between them. And to be honest, it is very positive to see - to see the smile on her face and when she told about her and him to Weaver, the way that sounded - she is happy and it is best for her.

Also conclusion comes to Benton and Carla as their baby is out of the danger - he survived. But he might have so so much health problems and it almost seems that he will crack under the burden but we will see it later.

Another end comes with Carter and OR - he is made his decision and he is ready to work without pay (ok I know that he is reach as I have seen later episodes but in this point, he surprises the audience.) He cares and they way he does it with his heart.

And Doug... Charlie story maybe ends too. She comes in just so we could learn what have happened with her. And she leaves and is out of their reach again.

Doug has another conclusion too - he finally makes a move towards Carol. I think that was long expected as the story is just going that way.

and Green... maybe he managed to find a peace with his troubles too. The scene by the river might have looked like that.

Anyway, well written, very conclusive and moving.moreless

"Perfect"

By DaVulture, Jun 10, 2007

The episode primarily focuses on Benton and Carla's baby. After getting word that things might night exactly be that great for their son the two of them wait to see what the situation will be. The next storyline is the most interesting, which is what will happen to Dr. Greene. After being attacked he doesn't seem the same and this episode showcases that he might not exactly be right and Carter of course after yelling at Anspaugh over surgery where will his profession lie? and of course whether Doug and Carol will get back together. Probably the most interesting plot line is Mark Greene who becomes psychotic and toward the end of the episode while being targeted in a Subway with some hooligans pulls out a gun scaring them back into the train. Things don't seem so well for the good Doctor. Then the second most intriguing line is Carter and Anspaugh, Carter doesn't want to be in surgery anymore and sick of Anspaugh on his nerves he finally yells at him. After meeting Anspaugh at a Parking Lot, Carter explains his case to switch from surgery to Emergency medicine and gets his wish fulfilled by Anspaugh ofcourse starting over as an Intern. Then there is Doug and Carol who share a kiss, what will this account to? Overall good finalemoreless

Mark is still shaken up over his recent attack.
He gets a gun, then later throws it into the river.

Dr. Carter challenges Dr. Anspaugh and defends his right to switch to Emergency medicine.
Later Dr. Anspaugh talks to Carter in the parking lot and says that something can be worked out so he can switch.

Carol goes on a date only to return home to find Doug at her house. They kiss (how adorable, & finally)

Carrie and Jeanie talk about Al and Jeanie getting back together after all that has happened.

Charlie comes into the ER as an OD. Doug tries to find a place for her, she runs away when he isn't looking.
