Winter 2004
When making her rounds with med students, the Neela we saw in the first episodes she's been in reappears, the one with all the too complicated medical jargon and the perfect sentences. When a patient begins to cry instead of helping him she asks the students what are the various causes for crying! An 18-year-old gangbanger wearing cuffs is brought in the ER. As Ray is assessing his wounds, the gangbanger makes fun of Ray's street language and music taste. When a nurse tells him a patient wants to see him, Ray, to Carter and Pratt's displeasure, leave the gangbanger saying that anyway Pratt as a better connection with the patient. The gangbanger is sure he saw Pratt somewhere before. Source: SpoilerFix.com
- Abby thinks that Lewis' promotion got to her head and that to Lewis' eyes now everyone is a slouch. Abby wants to take a break even if residents can't... she at least decides to have a smoke outside. There, a young black kid tells her his brother needs help because he's been shot. Abby follows him to the SUV where his brother is supposed to be but she doesn't see him at first... she's pushed in the car and kidnapped. Thinking Abby just decided to have an unauthorized day off, the Hospital keeps paging her so she comes back to work. Back in the ER, a few patients who've been shot are brought in... maybe the work of a gang? Carter and Kovac are also concerned about how Lewis has been acting. Lewis feels bad about how people see her but she has to do her job. Neela makes rounds with med students. Sam, Ray, Malik, Jerry, Pratt, Haleh, and Wendall also appear

This episode sounds VERY good. I love Abby to death and it has her character in it! w00t! The thing is though, really?.... Does Maura tierney ever take time away from a season? I bet next season she will be taking a break lol. She has done a lot in this season and last.

Abby: It's not a gang, it's a club. Carter: Not another stage-diving incident, I hope. Abby: First rule of girls club is - you don't talk about girls club. Carter: You're not going to tell me what you did? Abby: Oh, you know, the usual, crank calls, pillow fights, lesbian experimentation.

*Apparently Susan has been managing the ER in a way that has upset the staff.
*Abby complains to Susan that about her being promoted and all of a sudden everyone's a slouch and I am falsifying medical records.
*Abby gets shoved in a vehicle when a young teenager tells her that her brother has been shot. Abby says she will go on break. Susan tells Abby that residents don't get breaks. Abby says she will wait for incoming ambulance.
*At one point Carter asks about Abby's whereabouts to Susan. Susan tells Carter that she called her on some stuff, got all bent out of shape and stormed off. Susan tells Carter that she thinks she hurt her feelings and declared herself on break.
*We see throughout the eppy Susan calling Abby. She even calls Chuck at one point to possibly go to her place to look for her.
*We have Carter/Luka discuss the situation with Susan.
*Wendall has invited Carter to go skiing in Telluride. Near the end of the episode, Wendall has some doubts. She tells Carter: "Okay... it's just.. is there anything I should know about you or where your head's at before we go any further in this thing?" Carter: This thing... Wendall: I'm serious, John.
*The eppy ends with some of the gang members dropping off Abby back at the hospital. The ending side notes: He gestures BANG BANG. Leans back inside as they crank the MUSIC up again and the SUV tears into the night. Abby stands there, dumbfounded, relieved, spent.. right where she started. And as the sounds of the city envelope her we... Fade to Black.
*Jerry tells Carter about the wonders of a going around naked.
*Carter gets upset with Susan about how she is managing people.

*It begins with some sort of altercation between Susan and Abby. Abby goes out to the bay to have a cigarette. A car pulls up with claims of a hurt boy, but when Abby looks in the backseat of the car, no one is there. She is shoved inside and the car pulls out.
*The episode seems to cut back and forth between Abby's situation and life in the ER. No one seems to know she was kidnapped and Susan assumes it is because Abby is irritated and has taken a "break." A patient requests a different doctor than Ray. The rest of the staff deals with other victims of the shooting. There is also some sort of tense moment between Susan and Carter and Luka because they have not done something she needed by a deadline. Later on, Susan asks Chuck to run by Abby's place to see if she is "screening" Susan's calls. Pratt is also in some sort of trouble as well. Towards the end, Carter talks to Wendall about a trip to Telluride, but she asks him if there is anything she should know before they continue their relationship. Susan also confesses her frustrations to Kerry.
*Abby can't do much for the boy who has been shot, but tries to stop the bleeding, using her own lab coat. She tries to convince the other gang members that the boy needs an operation and that she cannot help him. The boys won't take their friend to the hospital because "they shot first." After a while, the boy fails and despite Abby's CPR, he dies and she fears for her life. But after a scary ride, the other boys drop her back off in the ambulance bay and drive away, leaving her alone, back where she started.
*Ray gets ruffled while treating Mikey (a gang-banger), mostly because of the patient's attitude, but also because of his initial attitude. Pratt really doesn't want to get involved. But then, the patient recognizes Pratt from a picture, a prom picture that a woman named Denise has above her tv set. Pratt denies knowing the woman.
*Ray treats a Ms. Mitchell whose labs first indicate that she is pregnant, but the truth comes out. She is a transsexual, a man. And thus the labs indicate, in men, not pregnancy but testicular cancer. Mrs. Mitchell doesn’t like Ray’s examination, not because of the truth, but because she recognizes the trait in Ray of being a big show but no substance.
*Neela is training med students, asking them about differentials for various diseases, including one for “excessive crying” as a result of a patient asking about the progress of melanoma. Luka takes an interest in the discussion and suggests that the man is crying about his diagnosis.
*Wendall handles the father of a 14-year old girl shot during a gang fight. Carter arrives to tell the father that she has survived surgery. Carter over hears Wendall talking to the father and learns she worked at a community center for two years as a volunteer.
*Tisha is the daughter. Susan, Luka, Pratty, Neela and on her. Susan instructs Ray to call the OR. Then Susan tells Pratt to intubate at the same time Luka tells Neela to do it. Everyone waits for a decision on who should, and Susan instructs Pratt to. There must have been more discussion about this that we don’t have because later, Susan tells Pratt that the policy was that the senior resident got to do the procedure, but Pratt says he doesn’t mind. Susan is upset and says she’ll talk to Luka, but Pratt tries to brush it off. Carter then talks to Susan and tries to counsel her that her reaction is unnecessary.
*Meanwhile, Pratt meets the mother of a young boy, Mickey, that he treated (see an above post).
*Tom, the husband of a woman who died the past Monday comes looking to talk to someone who remembered her. He was not there when she died and is very upset, wanting to know if she suffered. Wendall hears this and offers to look into it and call him at home, but he wants to wait. Later Tom sits next to the empty bed where his wife died and Sam asks him about it. Later, Luka tells Neela to try and comfort Tom even though she did not work on his wife, but instead to use the man’s own memories in order for Neela to be empathetic with him. And Neela is able to step up and do it.
*Jerry has vacationed at a nudist colony but Carter doesn’t want to consider it as Jerry suggests.

*"Terror, adrenaline, life --death. all play on Abby's face." Abby: "Oh God" She grabs the door handle. Locked. Abby: "Let me out..."
*Abby's frantically trying to unlock the doors, punching buttons, slapping on the tinted window. Abby: "Let me out! Help!" Loose' whips around levels a gun at Abby's face. Loose: "Shut Up" It paralyzes her with fear. She breathes hard, near tears
*"Fix my brother, or I'm gonna blow your bitch head off."
*These are kids with weapons, around 13 years old. The one that's hurt got shot through the back and Abby's first glimpse of him is with his intestines hanging out.
*Later we find out these kids probably killed around 6 others in some sort of gang dispute (one of the shot girls says she isn't in a gang) And so those kids are being treated at County while Abby and her kidnappers are in the SUV driving around.
*They are moving in an SUV and want Abby to treat him there, but there really isn't much she can do, the kid needs an OR. They wont go though. They stop at a pharmacy and make Abby write them a prescription and on their way out they hit something. The kid stops the van and yells "Aww. It's a little kitty cat, but it's still moving! It's still alive."
*"The BLAM from the gunshot makes Abby jump out of her skin." The cat isn't alive anymore.
*They finally stop at some abandoned warehouse. They are making Abby sew this kid up with NEEDLE and THREAD. No anesthesia, no nothing. The kid is writhing in pain, screaming like there's no tomorrow and Abby can't do it... but they threaten her with the gun again and make her continue.
*Later yet, Abby is done and the kids are hungry so they go to a drive through to get something to eat. Abby tries to open the car door to make a run for it but as she reaches the latch, the kid crushes her hand with his boot.
*Abby sees a rest stop at some point, says she needs to go. The guy that's driving (older of the three but still young) veers the car off the road, in the middle of nowhere, through a dirt road. He takes the gun out, freaking Abby out, and makes her get out and "squat" in front of him. "You scared of big black men, huh?" "No... I'm scared of big black guns" Off Abby, holding her own against this guy.
*After the boy dies and Abby thinks they are taking her somewhere to kill her... On Abby, lying face up on the seat. tears fall down the sides of her face. She can't take much more. Physically or emotionally.

*She can't save the boy so Abby thinks she's going to die. They order her back in the car and this scene follows.
On Abby, lying face up on the seat. Tears fall down the sides of her face. Suddenly the music's off. The sound of sniffles. A beat. The sniffles don't stop. Later. "Look, I won't tell anyone, okay? I won't... just please... I want to go home. Music back on. Off Abby, squeezing tears from her eyes. Lost.

Gosh, I don't understand why they made an episode about that. It's going to be heartbreaking to see Abby getting kidnapped. Someone we've known from Season 6... damn.

 Carter:I spend 23 hours a day wondering whether we're wrong for each other. But in the 24th hour, I realize I've been thinking about her for 23 hours, and I come back to there's something about her that I can't stay away from. Something about her that makes me want to... love her

I cannot wait for this episode. I already see it keeping me on the edge of my seat.

Um..yeah.
If a red quark is attracted to an anti-red quark, is it a gluon or a meson?
