Episode Report Card Sars: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Greene With Envy
By Sars | Season 6 | Episode 3 | Aired on 10.13.1999
At the desk, Kerry wants every piece of equipment checked. Mark reports that, aside from the guard, nobody got hurt. Enter the paramedics with a guy -- specifically, the guy that played Felicity's father on Felicity and Ellyn's husband on thirtysomething -- who broke his nose in a car accident; he asks what's happening with his wife and child. Behind him, the paramedics wheel in David, Broken-Nose Guy's son, and Finch asks him if he knows what happened, and next to him BNG bitches about a truck that ran the red and crashed into them, and then he bitches at Mark for checking his face for fractures. Meanwhile, BNG's wife asks Finch whether they have to stay if David's okay, and Finch asks what she means; apparently, BNG's wife called the family doctor, and the doctor wanted them to go to Ambrose, but the driver brought them to County instead because it was closest. "Are they allowed to do that, the paramedics? Can they go against a patient's wishes?" Scoopette asks from beside BNG's wife. Finch rolls her eyes, ignoring Scoopette and ordering the requisite tests, and tells BNG's wife that, until she's done the tests, "there's no question of David going anywhere."
Corday comes over to Brassy by the elevator. Brassy, practically hyperventilating, thinks "this has all been too fast for me, so -- I, I want to go home, and think about it." Corday suggests taking a walk.
Jeanie and Reggie walking out. Haleh and Chuny give her a big colorful bouquet, and they make to leave, but Kerry stops them, saying she needs to see Jeanie, and Reggie too. Jeanie protests that her shift has ended and they have to make a plane, and Kerry says she knows that but drags them into the locker room anyway. They find the social worker, Adele, standing there with the cute baby. Jeanie says, "Carlos -- what's going on?" and Kerry says, "Ask Adele. She really put herself on the line for this." Adele tells Jeanie, "We're going to let you take Carlos." Jeanie looks stunned, and Reggie's brow shoots up in a not-entirely-joyful look of surprise as Jeanie says, "Really?" as Adele explains that Jeanie will have Carlos on a temporary basis, and once she gets approved as a foster parent, then they can consider "something more official, and permanent." Jeanie, nearly unable to speak, whispers, "Thank you." Reggie guesses they aren't going to New Orleans after all, and Jeanie bounces the baby and says, "We can still get married here in Chicago." Reggie allows as how they could try the courthouse, and when Jeanie asks, "When?" Reggie smiles and says, "Today." Cue The Piano Music Of Realized Hopes. Oh, and -- awwwww!
