A car wreck brings out Kovac’s inner hero. Neela heads for the University of Michigan to begin her internship; her fellow doctors question the bruises on Chen’s face; Dr. Pratt keeps a mentoring eye on a young heart patient, Elgin. Weaver hopes to gain custody of her son and Sam flees with Alex after Steve settles down in Chicago. Pratt, Chen, and Elgin are victims of gunfire by an irritated motorist.
Carter is alarmed as he rushes his pregnant girlfriend Kem into the ER when he suspects trouble, while Corday gets a jolt from the past when the late Dr. Greene’s teen daughter Rachel shows up with her boyfriend looking for a haven - and some “morning-after” pills. Neela prepares for her graduation while Abby prefers to sit it out. Sam’s ex makes his intentions clear to Kovac.
Weaver considers drastic action to keep Lopez’s folks from taking custody of Henry. Abby is in the midst of her psychiatric rotation and tries to help a seizure-prone mother with a controversial drug treatment. Pratt lays into Neela for avoiding the ER to work in a lab. Kovac’s relationship with Sam and her son Alex grows awkward when Alex’s father returns. Carter impresses a returning Kem — but annoys his father — with a shake-up at his family’s foundation.
A breast exam lands Pratt in hot water when a woman informally accuses the young doctor of sexual harassment. Abby ponders how to get the attention of her contentious patients during her psych rotation and Neela finds herself studying strokes in a lab populated by brainy but bizarre graduate students. Weaver vows to fight for her baby son and Chen is at wit’s end when she brings her combative and ailing father home. Sam is baffled by her ex’s return — and Kovac’s take on the new man in Alex’s life.
Weaver rushes to the aid of her female partner Sandy Lopez when the firefighter is severely injured on the job and must fight for her life. Lewis suffers labor pains and is confined to bed rest, while tension remains between Gallant and Neela as an investigation begins into the suspicious death. Later, Gallant reveals to Neela that he’ll be deployed to Iraq. Sam is surprised by the arrival of Alex’s dad. Corday discovers that she’s the new Head of Surgery.
Carter urges Neela to be more pro-active in the ER, that she goes too far in treating a brain-injury patient - and a sympathetic Gallant errs further by falsifying a medical report. Kovac treats the disoriented young son of a man who fears that tests will reveal he’s not the boy’s father. Chen scrambles to find an appropriate caregiver for her ailing father. And Corday is uneasy about dating two men.
Sam’s troubled by Kovac’s visiting African tryst; one of County’s former patients uses a tank to exact a revenge that threatens half of Chicago; Corday is charmed by a fellow surgeon; a staffer becomes a patient after suffering a heart attack. heart
