  • The audience finally sees Dr. Carter developing into a real person. It is great to see Dr. Benton develop as a father. Dr. Weaver's true desires are mentioned, even in passing.moreless

    The episode advances many characters, even though they leave out Dr. Doyle. Dr. Romano continually proves that male surgeons can be as piggish as male laborers. Just like the guy that insults Dr. Weaver about being a nurse and tries to smoke in the exam room.

    It is interesting that Dr. Weaver mentions a teaching position to Dr. Corday. It foreshadows what happens at the end of Dr. Corday's tenure at the hospital.

    There is a continuous theme of piggish men in this episode. This is so true in real life. Good thing that there are strong female characters in this series.moreless

    • Lucy: Right, Dr. Carter? Jerry: Please don't call him Dr. Carter. We'll never be able to live with him. Lucy: What should I call you? Jerry: He's just...Carter. Carter: Dr. Carter will be fine. Edit
    • Weaver: You know, I think it's a wise move for you. Great research opportunities in EMS. Greene: Well, I'm actually more interested in coordinating paramedic care. Weaver: And for once, you and I would not be in competition. Field work was never my forte. Greene: You wouldn't want this job, Kerry. There's no money, no power, no glory. Weaver: Yeah, right. It doesn't fit into my Machiavellian scheme to rule the Emergency Department. Edit
