"Touch and Go"
Dr. Carter returns from Africa accompanied by a new love, Makemba (Thandie Newton); Drs. Pratt and Gallant argue over a personal matter.
Cast: Noah Wyle, Laura Innes, Alex Kingston, Goran Visnjic, Maura Tierney, Paul McCrane, Ming-Na Wen, Sherry Stringfield, Sharif Atkins, Mekhi Phifer, Linda Cardellini, Thandie Newton.
Producer(s): John Wells, Michael Crichton, Neal Baer, Jack Orman.
Pretty good episode. I'm still not happy w/ what Carter did to Abby, but I guess I will get over it. I wish they would have stayed together, but they always had to bring her damn family into the mix. Oh well, the show can go in new directions now. I'm just glad she's back in med school.
I'm starting to like Pratt - too bad he had a shitty day on all fronts. Got played by Gallant's sister and paralyzed a kid - too much.
I knew Luka would stay - I don't think it will be too long before him and Sam hook up. What the hell did her son do to himself, I missed that?
Where the hell was Lewis?
This show had too much Weaver...

Kinda ho-hum episode.
Although the whole pratt thing was done very well.
The way they presented next week's episode. Absolutely awful.
What's with all that baby touchy feely crap?
Blech.

ok episode
I'm glad they didn't do as bad a job as I thought they would with the Abby/Carter meeting. It'd be nice if we got a break from doctor/nurse romance but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.
Sam's kid needs to go.

For one brief, fleeting, wonderful instant...I thought the little twit had tried to self-administer anesthesia and killed himself. Damn them for teasing me like that.
John Carter: bearded stud muffin.
I loved the Pratt subplot w/ Gallant's sis. Kind of like Boomerang.
Greg Pratt is THE MAN.

Someone catch me up as I had bailed on ER for the past year and half and only started watching again recently. Did Abby and Carter officially breakup before he went to Africa? Did they end well, or was it bad? It sounded as if Abby was dealing with issues (other than her brother and mother?).

I thought it was pretty good. Anyone else think John's (fugly) girlfriend acted like she hit the lottery when she got knocked up? She was not hating the house like I thought she would.
I like the Sam character, but her kid has turned into this season's Abbie's family, we get it please move on.
BTW what did the phschopath do to his leg, or try to do to his leg?

I did notice that in the post-Rocket Romano era, Maura Tierney got bumped up to 2nd billing in the credits, and Laura Innes now has the "And...Laura Innes" at the end of the credits (previous held by Paul Crane).
Carter finally returns, and picks up like he never left the ER. He is in dire need of a haircut, though. Carter is way too happy, so I expect complications with either Kimba or the baby's delivery.
Pratt had one of the worst days you can have in the ER: snapping a patient's neck (acting a bit too rashly without considering the patient's fragile condition), and getting "played" by Gallant's sister.
The Sympathy Hurl was a sordid sight gag.
Carter and Abby's resolution to their past relationship was quickly dispensed with, but I wonder if it's truly dead.
Kovach appears to be falling for Sam and her boy, pushing back his trip to the Congo.

So wait, her character is preggy with Carter's seed?

Yes, Kimba got knocked up by Carter (and it appeared to have happened the first time they knocked boots).

Actually, Pratt knew about the kid's fragile state because Carter handed off the kid to Pratt and the med students, and one of the students asked the kid about his collar, and the kid tells them that the collar was made by his father and he describes his affliction. I just reviewed the episode.

Something I noticed in this episode:
Is Laura Innes Pregnant? They seem to have been "hiding" her with things in this episode

I believe there's much more to the next episode than what was presented. Besides, med students have to take a rotation in that unit at some point.

Agree about the kid not being Carter's.
