County. Carter examines Tammy, who's still squealing about Joe. Lisa asks who Joe is, and Tammy says he's her fiancé. The guard standing by the bed translates, for Lisa's benefit, "Meth-dealing low-life; she got nailed for holding his drugs." Tammy yelps, "He was set up!" Carter appreciates some tenderness in her abdomen and orders a bunch of tests. Haleh comes to the door and tells Carter he has a patient with a dislocated shoulder waiting, and that she's in a lot of pain. Carter curtly tells Haleh that he's off, and that Haleh should get Chen to see Dislocated Shoulder. Haleh drawls that Luka specifically asked Carter to treat DS before he left. Lisa keeps her head down. Carter huffs, says some final goodbyes to Tammy, and books. Tammy yells after him to call Joe; Lisa says she will.
Carter pedals down the hall on his Huffy bike. Lisa hurries after him, asking a question, in the middle of which she sneezes. Carter chuckles mirthlessly and says he thought she was going home. Lisa martyrs that there are still a few nurses missing, and that the storm isn't helping. Carter needles, "Your boyfriend didn't give you permission?" Lisa, attempting to rise above the fight Carter's trying to pick, says she hasn't asked him. Carter declares, "Well, you should -- you're looking worse." They've arrived at the door behind which DS waits, and Carter haughtily asks Lisa to "excuse [him] while he does [his] penance." Lisa, blowing her nose, defends Luka by saying that's not what Luka's doing, but before they can start debating the point, the elevator opens and discharges Rena "Young Miss" Trujillo, looking quite fetching in a tight, strapless, dark red cocktail dress, with a darker red knit shrug over her shoulders. Carter steps forward, beaming that she looks great. Rena thanks him, a little guardedly. Lisa, blowing her nose some more, agrees that Rena looks great; Rena thanks her, too, and asks whether Lisa's sick. Lisa juggles the facial tissues in her hands and pockets and says it's just a cold. There's an awkward pause, and Rena asks, "You're not going to the wedding?" Lisa says she doesn't think she's going to be able to go, and asks Rena and Carter to pass along her regrets and congratulations to Mark and Elizabeth. Carter assents, and Lisa takes off. Carter watches her go just a little too long. Rena asks him whether he's ready to go, which snaps Carter out of it enough that he actually turns toward her and makes eye contact before saying he's almost ready, and asking her to give him a hand for a minute.
