I am not sure I have the right episode but I think it was season 10 when Luka and Carter were in the Congo.
Luka seemed to function quite well in his role with Medicines San Frontieres (Doctors without Borders)
Maybe it was the escapism from from County that made him function over there better or the thought that he was really doing something ..but he was different.
Carter was like a deer in the headlights and it all seemed so surreal for him..I thought maybe it was confronting for him being the rich boy and all and seeing such hardship and war.
I found the scenes with the soldiers quite dramatic and when Luka is captured ..I held my breath.
The fact theat Luka is not shot because the soldiers mistake him for a priest is comforting until we realise that he is not yet free and that he is ill with malaria and time is of the essence.
When we see Carter arrive back at county and start arguing with Abby ..I kind of had my poms poms out cheering ..but not very loud.
When Chuny tells Abby that Luka has been reported missing or worse dead her reaction is subtle ..yet gut renching and Carter realising the extent of what they have been told finds himself heading straight back over to Africa to find Luka ..dead or alive.
We know Luka is found barely alive and we see his gratitude to Carter and then we see something else..while Luka came to this place to perhaps escape himself...Carter somehow came into his own and found himself.
With Luka safely back in Chicago I sensed Abby realising some deep seated feelings that she still had for Luka..but under the circumstances..her sort of with Carter still and the appearance of Gillian with Luka ..I think she took the fight or flight approach and decided it was safer to be friends.
So of course we had to wait until midway through season 12 to discover that they actually did want to be more than friends.
I guess when season 10 comes out on DVD I will probably get it so that I can watch all those memorable scenes again as awful as the story was ..I mean heart renching I will love every minute of it and I know that they are some of the best Luka scenes to date. Of course if the rumours are true Season 13 will be Luka's finest scenes to date......
