It appears that we have information about 15-2, titled "This is Our Shit." I'm sure the title will be changed.
This episode introduces Dr. Bancroft, the new Chief of the ER, plus Andrew (who is a new Surgical intern) and new ER interns, Isabelle, Tracy and Ryan. But Andrew and Isabelle are brother/sister.
We begin with a haggard-looking Morris greeting the new interns at 730am. Tracy is ambitious and in 3 inch heels, Isabelle is beautiful with wet hair, Andrew is all-American, and Ryan is attractive but nervous, Hispanic but doesn't speak Spanish and is married. Brenner sizes up the new interns. (Yeah, I bet. TEE) After meeting Gates, Sam and then Frank, plus the earlier arrival, Kaya, the newbies are sent off for their id's. And Catherine Bancroft arrives - the new Chief of the ER.
Meanwhile Neela is quite upset while talking on the phone to someone's answering machine. She feels that every time she gets her bearings, something else happens. She figures she is a total bore and self-pitying, but adds that Dubenko has left County. She wants the person to call her back.
Morris and Crenshaw have been working many hours and a lot of overtime as both departments are understaffed. Crenshaw knows Morris is upset about Pratt's death.
Neela tries to talk to Anspaugh about Dubenko who agrees that Dubenko is a great teacher and surgeon. But Anspaugh feels powerless because Dubenko wanted to leave and the board voted for dismissal, and Anspaugh says Dubenko forced the board's hand.
A patient, Felix is brought in by the EMT's. He has a broken leg. Bancroft tells Gates to take the interns and treat Felix. Felix fights the assessment and as they take his shift off, white power fills the air. They find a plastic bag filled with … ricin … which Tracy then drops on the floor. Felix was going to mail it to a few people to show what a joke Homeland Security is. His wife died in the 9-11 attacks.
Morris and Bancroft clash a little about leaving Gates et. al. in the trauma room while police and hazmat respond. The rest of the ER is evacuated to the Surgical lobby. Gates handles a complication with Felix's leg while the interns are helpless and useless and very afraid that they are poisoned (and this is really a good scene. TEE).
Meanwhile, Morris, Neela, Chuny and Sam work on a victim of a floor collapse while a mother looks on. Brenner asks Neela for coffee and she declines sharply. There is surgery on a patient with a liver lac.
All ends well for Gates and the interns. There is a sit-in outside Anspaugh's office demanding Dubenko's return that Brenner organized. Gate and Sam consider getting together after it is all over.

Well based on this, I can see that the only ER episodes I need to watch next season are 1, 3, and the final episode, to see how it ends. Personally I would love to see a series end special, where the actors talk about their favourite eppys and storylines, and we hear about how they interacted with each other on the set, with practical jokes and such. but I won't hold my breath.

Oh...I KNOW! I love that kind of a format but I don't think they get ratings. After so many years though, ER shouldn't care about ratings. My guess is that they will do the same old, same old because people will tune in to watch. I hope we get little camera snippets of everyone.....like a picture post card of where they are at and how they are doing. I will really miss seeing Luby in this one though. Maybe Neela is trying to reach Abby on the phone??? It's just going to be interesting to see how they handle an ER so totally decimated of it's leadership. Not so interesting for me to watch beyond epi. 3 however.

Ok, this doesn´t look good.
What could save a little bit this episode would be a scene of Abby/Luka. That would be a nice surprise for us.
These are spoilers, maybe in their scenes they don´t interact with other.... yada yada.
Well, it´s probably just wishfull thinking, but I can´t help myself.

Title was changed. Luckily.
From Kyriana at C&P: __________
First off, “Isabelle” has been changed to “Daria.”
Alex is apparently home. Sam tells Gates that the school was so good for Alex, who has turned into a great kid, she says.
Jason, a musician, and Decca, his girlfriend both have burns from a chemical explosion in the apartment next to Jason’s.
Crenshaw speaks with Dubenko who says he is working at Rush, but seems to be at home on his couch. During the ricin scare, Crenshaw calls Dubenko over and over. Dubenko picks up as he returns from a workout. Crenshaw gives a rundown of the chaotic situation at County and sounds exasperated with Dubenko, but Dubenko says it sounds like any Thursday at County and remains aloof.
Burke is a blue-collar guy who is about to take his GED. He has a cellulitis infection in his shoulder but doesn’t want to be admitted and miss his test. Sam apparently comes up with a plan that involves sending Burke home with an IV and having him return in the morning. Later, Burke is found on the El with a syringe and the IV still attached. He OD’d and Sam feels terrible for being fooled by the drug-seeker. Morris tells her not to feel guilty.
While Sam talks with Bancroft, we learn that Bancroft had worked in Indonesia after the tsunami.
The surgical lobby becomes the makeshift ER during the hazmat crisis in the ER. Andrew, the surgical intern, excels throughout the emergency by commandeering some equipment and even helping with surgery on little Devon (below).
Down at “ground zero,” Gates and the interns discover a sleeping 16-year old Jacob, an asthmatic who was left behind with them during the evacuation. Jacob has an attack but there is no medicine to help him in the sealed area. He needs intubation but Gates wants to use the one tube they have for Felix, the would-be bioterrorist, who is coding. Gates argues with the interns, who want to treat Jacob, and teaches them about treating the sickest regardless. However, Gates gets an idea to help Jason, and soon both patients are more stable.
Eight-year-old Devon is hurt badly when a floor collapsed beneath him. His mother, Hannah, broke her arm when she jumped in after him. She is a locksmith and brings her son with her on after-hours jobs, of which there are many in her work. She was changing the locks on a house where the owners has flooded the first floor in a “screw-you” gesture to the bank that foreclosed on them. Hannah laments about her situation that some lives work out and some don’t, and this makes Morris and Sam think of Pratt.
Bancroft continues to ride the staff hard--even testing Sam’s diagnostic and therapeutic skills right in front of a patient and challenging Morris every chance she gets. Morris tells her to cut it out. Later, he and Sam are surprised when Bancroft is very compassionate with Devon’s mother; Morris thinks she is faking.
As the interns wait to find out their fate from exposure to the ricin, one of them, Ryan, collapses, giving them all a scare. But it turned out to be psychosomatic, as the ricin was not found to be very toxic because the processing was amateurish.

Thanks, Rory! From Cynefaythe at TEex through Kyriana at C&P:Just wanted to point out that Cinefaythe at TEEX and Kyriana at C&P are actually one and the same person - which means that in reality there are only about 2 hardcore Carbies around on the ER boards!!!

It is very rude to start a post with "um" (which, by the way, should have a capital letter at the start of a sentence).
If you had read my post carefully, you would have noticed that I said "on ER boards"; I wasn't talking of the population as a whole. I would also have thought that you would realised that my whole comment was something of a joke, anyway.
However, the notion that the ratings dropped because of Carby has no grounds in reality. Ratings have been on a downward slope for some time - as is only natural with a long-running show. And where is the evidence that it is down to Carby, and Carby alone? Did the ratings dramatically jump when Carby got together, as millions tuned in to see America's favourite couple? I don't think so! Did they take a big tumble the week after Abby hung the bag of Carter's belongings on his locker door? No! And did they drop through the floor when Carter sent the letter to Abby? No, again!
If it was that blindingly obvious that several million would be added to viewing figures in an instant simply by putting Carter and Abby back together at the end of S10, don't you think that Wells & Co would have done it? Wouldn't NBC have held a gun to Wells' head to ensure he did this, even if he didn't want to?
Piffle!
[Sorry, Rory, for a very off-topic post.]

No problem. You are just clarifying your point. Thanks, Rory! From Cynefaythe at TEex through Kyriana at C&P:Just wanted to point out that Cinefaythe at TEEX and Kyriana at C&P are actually one and the same person - which means that in reality there are only about 2 hardcore Carbies around on the ER boards!!! Thank you helen, I didn't know they were the same person. My mistake: corrected.

No worries! As you can see, I spend more time lurking on Carby boards than is good for me!
