ER Episode 12.14 Quintessence of Dust

Greg clears the board and takes off for a charity event — the 50 hottest bachelors. He says that Olivia is fine with a bunch of rich white women bidding on a black man on a stage. At the charity auction, the women bid like crazy for him, but at the end a man chimes in and buys Greg for $600.

Victor misses another shift as he's tied up at home with Jody. They've been hanging out for a week doing blow and having sex. Kerry covers for Victor in the ER.

Archie complains to Luka about Dr. Albright. She keeps leaving more work for them to do and Archie goes ballistic.

Greg returns from the auction and tells them the winning bidder was a man. He's having dinner with a guy. All the other doctors laugh at him.

Abby is in a bitchy mood because she's waiting on lab results about her baby. Luka has Abby call to see if the amnio results are normal. She gets the tests back and everything turns out fine. She and Luka are totally relieved.

A homeless man, Dexter Jenkins, is brought in and Abby, Luka and Ray help out.

Victor and Jody finally leave their apartment and head to a convenience store to stock up on supplies. They can't keep their hands off each other. They get back to his apartment and Bobby, her husband, is waiting for them there. He tells Jody to pack up her stuff and come with him. She says she's not leaving. She tells Bobby that she filed papers and wants a divorce. Bobby leaves without incident... until he comes back, firing a gun.

Luka tells Abby that the baby's gender is on the amnio report and he wants to know what it is. He thinks it's weird that the doctors know and they don't. Abby says it makes it all seem "real." Luka thinks she should tell her mother.

Victor screeches into the hospital parking lot with Jody — she's all shot up. Abby and Luka help out and they all think Victor shot Jody. Victor is still coked up and bothering everyone in the ER. Greg catches him and finds that he's bleeding also — he's been shot in the arm. They need a surgeon for Jody and they call Lucien.

Neela helps out with Victor and they have to restrain him as he keeps trying to interfere with Jody's treatment.

Neela and Lucien operate on Jody and Albright comes in to assist. Neela doesn't know what she's doing. Archie comes into the OR to yell at Albright for messing around with his ER patients. Lucien tells her she needs to leave the OR if she wants to get into it with Archie, because they have to operate on Jody.

Victor sneaks into the operating room and Lucien tells him he can observe from outside, but if he says one word he's out. Neela operates but Victor interrupts every five seconds. Lucien wants Neela to operate because she needs to learn how to do it properly.

Ray continues to attend to Dexter Jenkins. Ray realizes he's an old blues great who once played with Muddy Waters and B.B. King. He finds Jenkins' wallet and it has a picture of his daughter in it. Ray finds Jenkins daughter and brings her in to see him. Dexter congratulates her on her wedding and tells her he doesn't want her money. She wants him to come home and live with her again, but he says that simply isn't him.

Archie catches Abby eating her third ice cream sandwich of the day and asks her jokingly if she's pregnant. She counters, telling him he's in love with Albright. They each keep their mouths shut after that.

Neela continues to operate and Lucien oversees. The delicate operation gives her a 45-minute window to save Jody's liver. Greg comes into the observation room and wants to talk to Victor. He says they tested for cocaine in their blood. Victor tells Greg that Jody is the only person who can corroborate his story.

Greg's date shows up and she turns out to be a beautiful woman. The woman tells Greg that her friend bought her the date because she'd been through some bad breakups. All the boys in the ER are jealous.

Victor comes in to see Neela. She performed the operation perfectly and probably saved Jody's life. Victor thanks her. She says it was the best she could do.

Luka tells Sam that he and Abby are having a baby. He wanted to tell her before she found out from someone else. She congratulates him but it's clear she's uncomfortable with the information.

Victor sits beside Jody's bed and recites Hamlet to her. Kerry enters the room and Victor thinks that Jody's brain might not recover. Kerry tells him the cops are there to talk to him and they think he shot Jody.

Ray leaves the hospital and finds Dexter outside, panhandling. Ray tries to guilt him a little but at least wants to buy him a sandwich. Ray takes him to the bar and Dexter sits down at the piano to play. He's a master blues man and wows the whole place.
