FYI: I'm starting this new post because I am now putting all spoiler info on the very first post of every episode specific spoiler. I cannot do this with the existing post or I would. Please feel free to continue to post there as well as here. If you have a spoiler to add for this episode, please post it in this thread and I will add it to the very first post giving you full credit, of course.

Spoilers courtesty of AEB:
The muffin scene where Abby is irritated with Maggie occurs a week after Joe's birth. The baby is doing very poorly, multiple lines and tubes, on a vent, under bili lights and wearing eye shades to protect him.
The baby does indeed have NEC (necrotizing enterocolitis) **and needs an emergency bowel resection which occurs sometime after the preceding scene. Anspaugh (yay!) and Albright are doing the procedure and the baby is doing very poorly. The chaplain is actually baptizing him as this happens in the OR (have no idea why they waited this long). Abby and Luka are watching the surgery, Abby's on the observation deck, not sure about Luka. Luka is praying aloud in Croatian (and will be so hot our TV screens will melt, no doubt).
Neela and Gates go back to Abby's apartment (looks like Neela is staying there). Neela has been drinking a lot, there are beer cans all over the place, she wants another and Gates tells her she doesn't need it. Seems that Gates punched somebody apparently in her defense while they were out.
Elliot is telling Sam that all she needs to do is fill out a rape report and say she shot him in self defense and she'll be OK. I hope it is Steve they are discussing. Sam is worried the police won't believe her but Eliot reassures her that it is the truth and so he knows the cops will believe it.
Gates and his partner bring in a guy who is wearing a tinfoil hat to get better reception while climbing the Tribune Tower, he fell. I kid you not. Weaver and Pratt are taking care of him. Gates sees Neela, calls her Mayday and gets a chilly response, Pratt and Weaver tell him what happened to Gallant and he is shocked and saddened about it.
At this point, Sam enters and Weaver hugs her, she tells Weaver she needs a rape exam. Elliot is with her.
Maggie appears to be keeping a notebook to keep track of what is going on with the baby. Abby is, of course, seemingly not happy about it. There's a scene where a resident is trying to insert a PICC line into the kid with Raab supervising and Maggie standing there asking questions with Abby whispering critique of his technique to Luka as it is being done. No pressure there, God help the poor resident.
Neela is meeting the new interns for orientation and who should turn up but Gates! This appears to be the next day after he took her home, she is embarrassed, he is glad he was there and was able to get her home safely.
Morris appears to be pitching a fancy new drug to the ICU staff and it is not going well. Looks like Pratt tries to rescue him but Morris doesn't seem to get what is happening.
Abby is angry at Maggie because somehow Raab gave Abby a 'lashing' and now she feels like an embarrassed teen. Maybe Raab overheard her yell at Maggie about something, I don't know.
Maggie and Abby go to a lactation seminar, while Luka stands at the crib and speaks to the baby in Croatian. He does call him 'Joe' and tells him that it doesn't matter that he came early, he is so glad he is there.
Abby has indeed had a hysterectomy.

Well sides are out for Graduation Day and Abby did indeed have a hysterectomy after the c-section. TPTB are going for maximum angst all the way around on this one.
In short, Abby is scared the baby is going to die, she tells Luka she wants them to live together and be a family but doesn't need a white dress and a ring to say I love you. Maggie is working her last nerve, Luka wants the chaplain to baptise Joe now. The line "the boy" was changed to "my boy" and they have a scene where Albright and Anspaugh are operating on the baby while Abby watches from the obs deck.
Looks like the head honchos at the hospital want someone's head to roll for the Clemente fiasco. They've chosen Kovac to be canned. Kerry is unhappy with this.
Morris asks Kerry for his job back, Gates is an intern and EMT, Neela gets drunk at Ike's. Sam shoots Steve apparently in self defense, Elliot brings Sam to the ER and she tells Kerry she needs a rape exam...it's angst for everyone.

As Weaver is doing the rape kit, Sam asks about everyone and Weaver fills her in on the sex of the baby and Jerry's status.
Abby has indeed had a hysterectomy and is impatient with the lactation consultant and Maggie as they try to help her use the breast pump, she wants them to leave her alone and let her do it by herself. Maggie assures Abby that she has used a pump and could help, but Abby tells her she has never had a cesarian, a hysterectomy and a preemie and she cannot help and tells her to leave. Maggie tries to say something but Abby cuts her off.
Outside, Maggie talks to Luka about her frustration and how much she wants to help. He makes excuses for Abby, she is afraid, things have been tough the past couple days, etc..... Maggie says Abby can't afford to be afraid right now and her behaviour is exactly what she always does when Maggie is around; she is annoyed by every single thing Maggie says or does. She tells Luka that Abby should be upset the day that Maggie doesn't care enough about her to come and try to help. At least other NICU moms seem to appreciate Maggie as she talks to them about their children.

From Storm at TEEX: Graduation Day
Weaver instructs Pratt on the attending role, noting that he has to figure out how to educate the residents without making the feel like crap. Later, Pratt gives instructions to some EMT’s, saying they cannot put in an "EJ" to an overdose patient. At the emergency site, Gates tells the other EMTs that he has permission from the ER to do the procedure. The other EMTs are surprised he got permission.
Meanwhile, it’s been a week and baby Joe is still intubated. Maggie is visiting, knitting while she sits next to the baby. The baby may have a heart murmur. Later, Luka stops in between patients in the ER; Maggie has been reading the baby stories; Abby is pacing. Much later, Abby and Luka talk. I think he must have talked marriage, but Abby must have declined, saying she doesn’t want to mess things up because they are really working; Luka says he’ll take love, and save marriage for later. Back in the NICU, however, after having the tube taken out, the baby takes a turn for the worse, and Maggie must demand that the NICU resident be called to the case. As Abby and Luka come into the NICU, Maggie tells them the tube is being put back in.
