13x06 "Heart of the Matter"

[Andie]

Hey guys new Spoilers, but no Abby and Luka

From lynnskies at AEB Forum

From Dee Dee at ErForums-


Work dates: 9/7-9/18

Director: Andrew Bernstein

New recurring roles: Betina DeJesus, a radiologist who flirts with Pratt; and Dawn, a nurse from New Orleans who worked there during Hurricane Katrina (cue clumsy soapboxing by the writers...).

This week's depressing storylines: A husband/father dies in the ER after a car accident and his wife faints/"nearly dies" when she gets the news; a terminal cancer patient is involved in a motorcycle accident and his wife wants his diagnosis kept from him.

Offensive story of the week: a "sexually forward" fifteen year old constantly takes her clothes off, has an overinterest in sexual matters and has a propensity for sexually "inappropriate words and deeds". [The storyline attributes this behavior to Asperger's Syndrome, but it's really so the perv writer can get his jollies yet again. ]

Minor storyline: Morris has hired a makeup team for a segment he'll be on for the tv news.

The name makes me think of a song lyric...if I could just remember it.

The somg is "Heart of the Matter" by Don Henly (former lead singer of the Eagles)


I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
...People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us,
Doesn't keep me warm

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you, Baby
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down and hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you inside

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

I personally love this song, I wonder if the lyrics will lend any clues as to the story line.

What, no Luby??? Come on writers, throw us a bone!. (Ok, I understand that the first few epis are Luby centralized, but what can I say-I am an addict!)

[PiperxoxLeo]

No, that's not the song I am thinking off.

It goes something like 'we got to the heart of the matter...etc.' I just can't remember the next line!

They're all a bit jumbled and long, my apologies.

SchiffRosenfeldCrenshaw still about and being annoying, is annoyed at Neela, for having to clear up her mess. Neela knows she's in trouble, possibly after some surgery she does with Dubenko. Later there is a mass female gathering at Ike's, involving Haleh, Sam, Dawn (new nurse), Katey, Hope, Abby, Neela, Weaver. And they appear to be playing some game, or at least Sam says she would sleep with Pratt and shoot Morris... hmm... no more on that. Neela is described as out of it.

Jury finds in favour of Luka in the case. Ames comes to see Luka at work at some point. Abby and Luka were supposed to be watching a Dubrovnik mafia movie but he has work to finish up so Haleh suggests Abby joins this mysterious gathering at Ike's and Luka says he will pick her up. Baby news: he's not sleeping, and Abby is waiting on a call from her paediatrician.

Pratt has a new girlfriend called Betina. They appear to be on a date at his appartment and are kissing when Chaz knocks at the door (Pratt's brother). He's moving in with Pratt but there's some confusion over the day.

Not really much info on stories this week. The patient stories dominate - a man who has cancer but his wife doesn't tell him, they're going on a trip to Europe though. Another man dies in I think the same car accident. When his wife hears she faints, except it wasn't a faint, it was an MI, she crashes, they stop and then she comes back. There are bright lights and it seems she has a vision of her husband. There's also Josie who has no sense of boundaries, she's Gates' patient. Finally there's a weird guy who says he has something in his eye - he doesn't.

Here's a summar of the spoilers...

Morris is elected by a group not in authority to do some sort of tv appearance and brings in a pedicurist and makeup artist to help him prepare. Kerry finds out.

Luka’s story centers around two events: the juror’s decision is out and appears to be in his favor. But at the end of the evening, Mr. Ames shows up at the ER wanting to talk to Luka.

Meanwhile, Luka treats a man injured while riding his Harley. The MRI’s show a cancer, thought to be in remission, has metastasized in his brain. Rice’s wife agrees to tell him the bad news, but changes her mind. Luka is angry, saying Rice should be told the truth. Mrs. Rice argues that Rice should be allowed time without fearing the worst, and to take his vacations. Luka threatens to tell him the truth, but in the end, does not. He orders Mrs. Rice to not allow Rice to be in situations where someone else might be hurt.

The man who hit Rice is also injured. Abby treats him, Neela comes to consult, and Neela ends up in surgery for the man. Neela’s actions seem to get her in hot water with Crenshaw, and she ends up telling the wife the man died. The wife goes into cardiac arrest, and without a history suggesting an MI, Neela surmises it is “Broken Heart Syndrome.” The woman survives, saying she saw her husband and was able to say goodbye.

Meanwhile, Gates continues his flirting with Neela, and Ray’s jealousy is evident, event to Neela’s med student, Katiey (who recently came on to Ray).

Gates treats Josie for an injured ankle. She’s a special needs student who is found to be naked in her bed. The girl’s father at first dismisses her actions because of “her condition” and even more, is not worried that his 15-year old is not aware of birth control methods. But Gates convinces the father his daughter she needs to be protected as her illness prevents her from being able to say no.

Dawn is the new nurse from New Orleans and she gets to meet the ER staff and the various patients.

Kerry works on a man who has sand in his eye, and although there is nothing seriously wrong, the man insists on more tests. Finally, Sam in the one to kick him out.

Meanwhile, Pratt meets a radiologist who brings Rice’s x-rays to the ER. He flirts, she flirts back. At the end of the episode, after a meal at Pratt’s apartment that he’s cooked, as just about as things get steamy, Chaz, Pratt’s half-brother shows up. Turns out he’s moving in with Pratt, even though Pratt thought it would be on Friday, not tonight, Thursday.

And more meanwhile, Abby is waiting on a call from her pediatrician and asks Frank to page her if the call comes in. And early on, we learn that Luka is “worn out” because the baby is not sleeping. Towards the end, Luka begs off going home because of his workload, and Haleh apparently convinces Abby to go out with the girls.

Haleh, Chuny, Hope, Dawn, Katey, Weaver, Sam, Abby and Neel visit Ikes. Neela is drunk. Sam says she would shag Pratt and shoot Morris. The party seems to continue thereafter.

Awww, Joe's not sleeping....bless.
