This week: a new group of residents shows up at County, Romano is having insurance issues, Abby keeps getting sidetracked when she tries to visit a recovering Luka, Zac Efron gets shot, Susan tries to honor an awful family request, Corday gets laid, Pratt gets blindsided by Chen’s parents, and Carter’s letter to Abby quickly gets passed around the ER.

This week: Carter heads back to the Congo to recover Luka’s body, and to try and unravel the mystery surrounding Luka’s apparent murder.

This week: A certain British/Indian med student arrives for her ER rotation, Carter returns to Chicago, a major construction project leaves the ER a mess, Chen shows her jealous side, Pratt flirts too much, a major car crash happens right outside of County, and the staff is rocked by the news that one of their own has apparently been killed.

It’s that time again!

This week: Carter gets his first taste of what medical care is really like in the Congo. He joins up with Kovac to try and provide the best care possible for hundreds of impoverished residents of the war-torn country.

On this week’s 200th episode: Stories intertwine as we follow the day shift of Carter, and Pratt’s last night shift at the same time. Carter gets the brunt of the patients from a raging gang war and a mass suicide that leaves the whole hospital stretched to the breaking point. Pratt deals with the trail end of the gang war patients as well as an unsettling stabbing victim, and a firefighter caught in an explosion as Doc Magoo’s burns to the ground. Also, Lizzy tries her best to be there for Romano both before and during his amputation surgery.

This week: Luka is sent into desperation mode after the sick child he’s trying to help makes a surprise early arrival, Eric crashes Gamma’s funeral, Romano’s arm gets set on fire, after a young man’s entire family is injured in a drive-by shooting, Carter tries to stop him from igniting a brewing gang war, Chuck and Susan make a decision about their future, and Daniel’s long nightmare is over as Carter and Abby call it quits.

This week: Abby finally gets a lead on Eric’s whereabouts, Susan defends Chuck after he messes up an intubation on the air rescue chopper, Luka’s surgeon friend from Croatia gets caught up in the ER vortex, Romano is clamping down on ER wait times, Pratt gets to live out every disgruntled worker’s fantasy, and Carter is devastated after the sudden passing of his grandmother.

This week: A depressed Romano begins his reign of terror as the new ER Chief, Susan husband shows up (much to the confusion of everyone else), Luka tries to organize a pro bono surgery for a little Croatian boy, Corday does everything in her power to try and disregard a patient’s wishes, Carter sticks up for the ER staff, and Pratt mistakenly buys stolen goods from a patient.
