Plot[edit]
A brutal drive-by shooting sends dozens of victims in to the ER, inundating the staff with treating all the victims. Meanwhile, Carter (Noah Wyle) is late for his first day back at the hospital, now as a surgical sub-intern, as he gets caught in traffic on his return from a summer vacation. He decides to abandon his cab and runs with all his luggage to the hospital.
At the hospital, a new group of medical students arrive for their ER rotation, including Harper Tracy (Christine Elise). Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards), now an ER attending physician, is struggling to adapt to his new position and the extra responsibilities it brings. Carter finally arrives hours late, much to the annoyance of his resident Peter Benton (Eriq La Salle), which is only exacerbated when Carter seems to have forgotten a huge amount of anatomical knowledge over his break, reflecting badly on Benton.
