County. The paramedic who kind of looks like the love child of Owen Wilson and Dirk from Survivor I wheels in a dude in a plush suit. He gives Weaver the bullet: the guy was pushed down in a scuffle and hurt his clavicle, but suffered no loss of consciousness. The guy appears to be asleep, or out, so Weaver questions the "no loss of consciousness" part of the story. The paramedic -- I'm just going to call him Dirk -- says that the patient is "faking: vitals are completely normal, and there's no chest or belly pain." Weaver asks the guy's name, and Dirk says, "He refused to give us his name. [indicating the head of the costume] Said it was O. Possum." Weaver shakes O. Possum until he whines, "Ow!" Behind O. Possum's bed, Pam leads in another guy, who's apparently well enough to walk, and is also wearing a plush animal suit (his is a kangaroo); he interjects, "His name's Brett Paxton, and he's crazy!" Pam tells Weaver that Kangaroo suffered a human bite to the hand, but that he has no other injuries. Kangaroo adds, "I'm going to need stitches thanks to this freak!" He kicks O. Possum's gurney before Weaver tells him to knock it off. Weaver instructs the paramedics to separate Kangaroo and O. Possum.
Yosh washes Dr. Dave's eyes. It hurts. Dr. Dave is stripped to his 'beater (which should give the posters on the boards a cheap thrill), I guess because his usual dark blue scrub top was too full of pepper spray for him to wear it, and Carter comes around the corner with a lab coat for him to wear instead. Dr. Dave practically cowers at the sight of it, telling Carter, "You know I've never worn one of those." Carter smugs, "Well, maybe it's time you at least started dressing like a doctor." Carter helps him on with it and stands back to admire the effect. Just then Chen comes down the hall, gets a look at Dr. Dave's new ensemble, and starts cracking up. Dr. Dave defensively demands, "What? What?!" Before Chen can explain "what," Lily urgently interrupts to tell Carter that his pregnant patient is bleeding out. Carter takes off after her, asking where she is; Lily says she's passed out in the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Jennifer is, sure enough, passed out on the floor. Much as it pains me to compliment Anthony Edwards -- particularly in his efforts as an auteur -- he kindly shoots her in profile, so that instead of seeing her whole lap engulfed with blood, all you see is her hip, with some blood trickling down. I mean, it's still sad, but at least the effect is somewhat more subtle, for once. Carter rushes over to her, calling her "Noni" and trying to get her to regain consciousness. Lily can't find a radial pulse and Carter says she's got a weak carotid pulse. He tells Lily to go get a gurney.
