This week: Neela's still getting shoved out of the way for Mae Lee, Gates has a talk with Sarah about her parentage, a wild new med student appears, Sam treats a dying man who is being constantly photographed, Luka and Abby try to calm Morris and Hope down about the upcoming wedding, Abby's favorite flight nurse has some surprising character development, and it's all hands on deck after a semi truck plows into a compact car containing a family.

This week: Hope's wedding senses are tingling as Luka and Abby begin to plan the big day, Pratt connects to a patient who was shot while trying to stop his son from killing someone else, Neela has some new competition in the form of a special med student, Gates has some daddy issues, and the entire ER does their best to help a hypothermic family whose car was trapped in the snow for two days.

Content warning: patient suicide

This week: Gates treats a dying woman whose story isn't quite lining up, Luka dives back into work, Neela uncovers a major ethical problem with a kidney transplant, Crenshaw is a sub, Ray treats a beaten cheerleader, and Andy Dick can see the future.

But pacing isn't, apparently.
