Carter is back...

8.2

"Great"

By Parricida, Jan 01, 2008

This episode marks Carter returns and he is not having good time. He has that look again - I am alright but when he turns the head, he is like crying. And it is hard for him - having trouble with movings and being able to do procedures. Plus pain. But he is not onlyone having hard time. Abby makes an error and the patient does not want it repaired as he is dying anyway. Greene sends Abby to practice the procedure later and it comes out, the gave her the same body of the patient she already made the mistake. It was weird and frightening.

But Carter in the end, visiting her grandmother and she, saying that she accepts that Carter works for medicine. The first time, I think. Maybe he can warm is relationship with his family again. He will need them support, I am sure.moreless

NOTES (4)
ADD NOTES
- Though spelled correctly when he is listed as the series creator in the opening credits, Michael Crichton's last name is incorrectly spelled "Chrichton" when he is listed with the other executive producers in the end credits of this episode. This mistake was repeated in most of the Season 4 episodes and in all of the Season 6 episodes.
  EDIT SHARE
- Music: "Bookends," Simon and Garfunkel; "I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Baby," Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields (sung by Carol on the phone to the twins)
  EDIT SHARE
- At the conclusion of this episode, a credit was flashed that read "in memory of Michael Claypool." Claypool was the set decorator for ER until 1999. He died of cancer in March 2000.
