After trying and failing to help an elderly doctor (Edward Asner) who runs a free clinic, Carter (Noah Wyle) is forced to make some difficult decisions regarding his own future. Elsewhere, Pratt (Mekhi Phifer) comes to the aid of his brain-damaged brother, Leon (Marcello Thedford), who has run afoul of the law; Kovac (Goran Visnjic) issues a threat to Weaver (Laura Innes); and Corday (Alex Kingston) wonders if she should accept a date from a doctor (Bruno Campos) with a "bad" reputation. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
