What does TV Guide say?

Tensions between meek med student Gallant (Sharif Atkins) and arrogant intern Pratt (Mekhi Phifer) reach a fever pitch as they battle over two trobuled patients. The conflict begins after Pratt meddles in Army recruit Gallant's treatment of a suicidal soldier. But when Dr. Kayson (Sam Anderson), the chief cardiologist, refuses to help a known hypochondriac (Diane Delano), Gallant finally hits his limit and unloads on Pratt for having too much to say and too little to offer once the woman's symptoms prove to be legitimate. In other storylines, Abby tries to set the record straight with Carter about her drinking and Kerry makes a disastrous television appearance.

what is TV Guide not telling us?

It all starts with Luka and the hot blonde mother of one of his patients. The good Dr. Kovac pulls a Malucci in the storage closet. Susan catches him, uh, red handed. She tries to convince Abby to talk to him about it, but Abby won't have anything to do with it. Uncomfortably, Susan tells Luka: "What I'm trying to say is that when you're waiting on a patient's results, it's not necessary for you to boff the patient's mother in the storage closest."

What's the deal with Carter and Abby? Is she drinking again?

Yes, but according to her it's under control. The two have their first lover's spat this week. Carter nearly walks out on her at the El Station, but the episode ends with the two reunited at Abby's doorstep.

Wait, Abby's drinking again! How did Carter find out?

He tricks Susan into telling him about their "Girls' Night Out." Apparently, Susan wasn't aware Abby is a recovering alcoholic.

What's wrong with Weaver? First she breaks down in front of Corday, now she "makes a disastrous television appearance?"

She's on TV doing a piece to promote flu vaccines on the local morning show. She is giving them each of the newscasters a shot. During the broadcast she inaverdently uses the same needle on both of the newscasters. Later Abby and Susan see Weaver drop a syringe while in the ladies room stall. An embarrassed Weaver is speechless.

Is Kerry on drugs or something?

No, but highlight the following if you really want to know: Abby and Susan speculate that Kerry may be pregnant, to which Abby responds: "Weaver? The straightest gay woman since Janet Reno? I don't think so." A few episodes down the line we'll find out that Weaver is, indeed, pregnant. She's decided to start a family with her "intimate firefighter friend" (Sandy Lopez).
