I think this is between her and Luka, so he's got to be the one finding out...maybe finding her at Neela's when she doesn't come home.
I just don't want Neela to be the one who finds her like that, because even though now she is her best friend, she needs so sort things out with Luka. And I do think, even more now, with Moretti gone, that Luka is going to find out about the "sleep over" and assume that she actually cheated on him (although I strongly feel that she didn't).
Right now,all we can do is play a little game of "who's guessing right", because it all comes down to that.
I hope the next episode will give an important piece of the puzzle. I was going to say that maybe they'll drag it more until Christmas (and make 14x11 the Christmas episode) but I remembered 14x10 is the 300th. Or maybe they will, and after the big anniversary doom-style we'll have a resolution. And when I say big, I mean BIG! They better give me something to cry for or at least to feel for.
If they'll drag this more, I guess Luka's Santa bag from 12x10 is going to be full of booze this year and just this once abby's gonna use her compass to sniff her way to the liquor store.

I'll go for the poisoning herself option larue said. sounds more credible to me. luka isn't going to notice it until something important happens (poisoning herself would put him back on earth) because I think the guy's head will still be in croatia. he brought his brother with him and he is all happy that they're getting along again, he's also probably going to want to work in croatia...
luka will need a kick on the ass to react. loosing his wife one more time I'm sure will wake him up.

We know that she has already endangered Joe by driving with him when she was over the limit and then wandering around in the early hours with a small child in his pajamas. She didn't drive while intoxicated. The car accident was before the drinking began (as far as we know) and she took a taxi to the airport.

Except this time he won't lose her - he'll help save her if they go with the alcohol intoxication. I do think they'd have him be the one to find her and get her to the hospital. I think how it will play is that they both have made mistakes in the relationship and hurt the other one even though it wasn't the intent. I also agree Abby thinks she slept with Morretti - but I don't think that will turn out to be the case. I don't think they are crafting the character of Morretti to be the kind of man to take advantage of a married woman so drunk she does not know what she's doing. And I don't think Abby if she was in any condition to stop it would have sex with another man. I think they are clearly showing her to still be very much in love with Luka.

I think it makes sense that Neela might catch Abby drinking. We don't know that she's going to be passed out or anything, but she did lie to Neela about getting something from the apartment. But if Neela doesn't know Abby's an alcoholic (does she?) she might not think it's as big a deal as Luka might. Weird, yeah but maybe Abby tells her she and Luka had a fight (about the brother) so she didn't want to go home.
I guess it depends on how long they want to keep Abby's drinking story going.

The near accident is in Gravity. Driving with Joe when she is intoxicated is in Blackout. She realises that she can't focus and is unsteady, pulls over and hails a taxi.

I'm glad TPTB realized it would be a giant mistake to have Abby drive with the baby in the car. IMO, I don't think the audience would be too open minded or forgiving should she hurt Joe and/or Luka ... that's why I believe they'll have Abby wind up being in jeopardy to hit her bottom.

Abby doesn't have to actually drink to the point of her life being at risk I don't think. If she's slugging vodka by the mugful she'll be falling down drunk or passed out by the time Neela or Luka get to her, and I don't know about you, but if my SO - alcoholic or not - was sneaking off to glug neat spirits in their old apartment and had lied in order to do it I'd have some big alarm bells ringing. Granted, they might well do it for the drama of Luka getting a call to go to the ER where Abby is having charcoal poured down her throat or her stomach pumped but it's not really necessary.

No one said it was necessary ... it's purely speculation on my part.

How much longer can the audience stand it? At some point Luka has to notice, I think this is a set-up for him to do so. Whether her life is in jeopardy or not, I think she's going to be either arriving home obviously drunk, or not arriving home - either would be a wake-up call for Luka. It depends whether they are going for the DRAMA or not. However, I do think the full circle thing with Carol in the first season and Abby in the last season (if it is) is sort of an interesting idea. . . .

I didn't say anyone had said it was necessary, only saying that it isn't. I think it's not only unecessary but bordering on overkill. Which means they'll probably do just that.

I don't know think of the acting potential. Give Goran something to sink his teeth into. I actually think if they have to go big with this and apparently they do - this is the best possible go big - I don't want her to hurt anyone else - and we've been through the staff impairment hurts patient mill before.

I really hope they don't ruin abby and luka. they've spent the last 2 seasons building up this relationship y ruin it especially if this is ER final season. does anyone else think with moretti gone this opens the door for carter to come bck and finally be made chief of the ER, starting of as a medstudent in season 1 and then the final season bein made chief a complete turnaround. Personally i don't mind if he comes bck and is made chief as long as he doesn't mess with abby and luka cause if he does i'd rather they kill him off

In regards to the drinking an driving reference by me earlier, I was purely speculating on a future event. I have never seen so many references to driving and cars on this show before.
