This summary of spoilers is from the ER Exchange:
There is some information now on episode 13-19. “Family Business” has some interesting patients but there isn't too much information, and at this point, the beginning and end of the episode are not accounted for at all.
A man named Zakar crashes the florist truck he was driving as he arrives at the hospital. In the back of the vehicle are a young man and a little boy who must be unconscious. Zakar is okay but doesn’t speak any English. In order to communicate with him, Abby requests a Farsi translator. But Zakar can’t understand a word he says, and the translator informs Abby that Zakar does not speak Farsi, but he thinks it is Armenian.
Because Zakar cannot speak English and the two other victims are not conscious, at first they do not know his relationship to them. But when the 9-year-old Tomas wakes up, he tells Abby that his 25-year-old brother Julio has asthma. They were on the way to the drug store and suddenly Julio could not walk or talk. Zakar came by with his truck and drove them to the hospital, Tomas explained.
Julio is very sick and Gates and Pratt have a hard time intubating. Abby tells Tomas that Julio will have to stay in the hospital. Tomas wants to stay with him and has nowhere else to go, as Julio has been taking care of him since the mother died and they have no other family. Abby says he can hang out at the hospital for a while.
Zakar is thankful the boy is okay and wants to get in touch with his own brother Pasha. When Pasha arrives, they argue and Abby has to tell them to knock it off. Pasha is mad that Zakar totaled his van. He says without it, the business is screwed. But Pratt tells him Zakar saved someone’s life. Pasha is moved by his brother’s heroism, and they hug.
An old man, accompanied by a home aide, waits for his son who has had a heart attack. Luka treats the son, who seems to have taken on the family business. The son cares for the father, and when he leaves the house to quote on a job, he hires an aide. The son is dying and the father, frail himself, stays by his side. When the aide has to leave, Luka says he’ll look after the father. It seems the son passes away, but the father does not understand and tries to call his son at home. It is sad, and Luka takes him back to his room.
Sam helps treat a man with a dislocated kneecap that she pops in by herself without any anesthesia. Beforehand he complains that she “hasn’t done crap” for him and she realizes he is using some “role-playing” dialogue that we will apparently hear in the Teaser (though we do not know now what this refers to). She arranges for 5 days off work for him, and he says (jokingly I believe) that he has a self-defense seminar the next day and asks if she wants to fill in.
Gates’ dad Mike is there. He wants Mike to cook dinner and gives him money to buy the food. Mike is reluctant, but Gates reminds him that he used to like to cook at the firehouse, and Mike agrees to take the money and cook.
A water pipe burst in Exam 3 just where Abby was going to see a new patient. Ceiling tiles have fallen down and the floor is covered with water. A nurse tells her the patients are in the hall. That’s where she finds 5-year-old Rose, who who tells Abby she is “under the weather.” Her mother says she has had a cough and fever for a week. Abby thinks it is just a cold, but when she examines her, she sees it is pneumonia needs to be admitted. The mother said she knew it had to be something more.
Pratt is visited by Betina, a woman who appears in an earlier episode, and he makes some excuses for not calling or emailing. She consults on a patient and enlightens him about an eye disorder, and then Pratt asks her to dinner sometime. She is business-like, but says maybe.
Ray treats a man with heart palpitations. He crashes in the ER three times until Sam spots him playing with his EKG leads and realizes he is faking it. To teach him a lesson, Sam grabs the paddles and zaps him. He runs out yelling at her. Ray walks in on it and is horrified, but Sam says she only charged the paddles to 10 joules and demonstrates on Ray, who says it is not so bad.
Neela offer Ray some help with his patient and moves over to talk to Gates, which Ray notices. Neela tells Gates that Sarah is there and wants the HPV vaccine. Gates worries that she is having sex with boys, but Neela says she didn’t get that far with her. Gates turns Sarah down, and she says it is not fair.
Someone named Miranda shows up at the hospital with baby Joe and Abby heads right for them. We hear Abby ask Joe if he is okay and say that she missed him. That is all we have of that scene.
