First off, oops, all the episodes I've listed are not the right number, they're all one behind, sorry

Well, where to begin. A very great episode, sadly built on the premise that we must believe these children had small pox. Had it been the abola virus or anthrax (a very topical subject for Americans) it might have worked, but small pox, COME ON!!!! Why don't you just bring in the black plague and be done with it

The best bit, for me, was from Kerry, her line of "it's my ER", was very deep and well done, considering it was one of her only lines It's true, she sees it as hers and well she should. She doesn't have any real friends, all she has is her ER, which she sacrificed a lot to get. She had to go through the process three times, while being unpopular, she had to put up with Doug Ross, hating her and breaking all the rules, THEN getting credit. She had to back-stab Mark, by helping Romano (a pact with the devil if ever there was one) and she nearly lost it this season by her carelessness with her pager. I know it'sone line, but it did hightlight Kerry's character really well.

Carter and Abby, at last, finally, yes it's happened, god be praised, the tedious 'will they/won't they' is over, halaula (spelling:upset.

Is it me, or did all those patients personify [ignorance in people]??? I really wish they all got infected Plus Luca, you rambo you, fight them one by one. But, on a small not, if I were them, I would fire Jerry, no questions. He made a bad situation ten times worse and treated it as a 'cool' thing to do. Seriously, I really hate Jerry now, even though his name is only one letter away from Kerry

On to the Pratt saga, I liked, I hated and now I liked again, he has good chemistry with Jing-Ma and does care, despite a slight arrogance. But I really could have gone without seeing Chen's face when she finally [urinated], not my idea of fun Thursday night TV.

As a whole I liked the episode loads, I liked Carter taking control, I liked Abby helping him, without having to say, 'it's because I love you', it was nicely implied. But one thing, those kids with small-pox, did look a lot like someone had spatt paper balls at them My question is, next season, will it be set months later, liked this season, or continue on, with the conclusion as a season opener?

****
(four stars, even without Kerry's presence)
