In this episode: Elizabeth Corday (3), Kerry Weaver (2), Susan Lewis (2), Abby Lockhart (1), John Carter (1), Neela Rasgotra (1)

How would you feel about accepting a non-tenure-track position as clinical instructor?

So after giving seven years of my service to this hospital, I lose my tenure over a single patient.

Elizabeth, you broke the law. What did you think was gonna happen?

I don't know. That I might be appreciated for saving a life. That... that friends might have fought for me.

I did fight for you. I had to beg, borrow and steal just to keep them from giving your name to the state board.

What the hell, let them pull my license. Let them make it ugly. I'll go public. I'll tell anyone who cares to listen this hospital was willing to let a man die because a bloody bill was signed on a Tuesday rather than a Monday. We did something extraordinary here, Kerry.

You're right. We did, but that's not our purpose. We can barely service the community's basic medical needs as it is.

And that's it? Just stay open, get through each day?

Isn't that enough?

I'm here because I want the ER chief job.

But you turned it down once already.

That was pre-baby. Turns out I like kids better when they're not sucking the life force out of me.

EElla

Mommy, in the picture?

Listen, John, i'm going to have go, okay, bye. [to Ella] Sorry, sweetheart, what?

EElla

Is this Daddy? [hands Elizabeth a picture of Mark]

Yeah! You know that! [hands the picture back to Ella, and she looks at another photo]

EElla

Who are they? [hands a black and white picture to Elizabeth]

[smiling] That's your Nana and Grandpa.

EElla

Are they dead too?

[Elizabeth looks sadly into the distance, remembering Mark]

[at the Jumbo Mart] One large coffee and a first-year resident, please.

Sorry?

Howard quit.

He did?

Yeah, are you interested?

Well, Neela's going through this delayed adolescent rebellion slash premature midlife crisis thing right now.

Look, I've called the NRMP, I have scraped the bottom of the barrel, I have seen or spoken with more freaks that Dr. Phil. I am desperate, no offense, for anyone even remotely competent and/or sane.

I don't know, I mean, I'm-I'm working now so...

Yeah, you're right. You just keep ringing up those pork rinds and making Icees.

This whole transplant situation, the new staff, my four-year-old daughter... it's all helped me see things more clearly. Mark's gone. So many of my friends are gone. There's... there's no reason to stay. Not for me. Not for Ella. I suppose I've known that for a long time now, but it's It's just hard to move on, isn't it? Would you apologize to everyone for me?

Aren't you gonna come by and see everybody before you go?

I'm not much for goodbyes. They make me cry, truth be told.

If you want me to tell anyone anything?

Tell them, uh... It's been lovely.
