When Nick Jenkins' fiancée suddenly gets cold feet, the man who was once looking forward to marriage is suddenly forced to dive headfirst back into the dating pool. Nick (Austin Peck) is a decent guy in a tight spot, but with a little help from his good-hearted roommate Jed (Stefan Marc), he may find the love of his life yet. Now, just as Nick's business begins to take off, he falls for captivating beauty Mona (Leslie Bega). Should Nick stick with work, chances are he'll soon have a shot at financial freedom; should he follow his heart, he may commit to a relationship he's simply not ready for. Everyone knows that the dating game isn't for amateurs, but perhaps with a little help from his parents, his roommate, an ageing player named George (Rick Scarry), and his thoughtful friend Robin (Stephanie Brown), Nick can somehow find a way to strike a comfortable balance between his personal and professional lives. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Originally scheduled for September 27, 2001, this ER episode was moved back to October 4 due to network coverage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

An off-duty Carter (Anthony Edwards) deals with victims of a rock-concert stampede, tries to rectify a fatal error made by Chen and Malucchi in Weaver's absence, and injures his back. Weaver fires Chen for her error. Benton (Eriq La Salle) learns that the mother of his son, Reese (Matthew Watkins), has been killed in an accident. Vondie Curtis-Hall, who guest starred as a transvestite in an earlier ER episode, here replaces Victor Williams in the recurring role of Roger, the man who claims to be the true biological father of Reese. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
