The incoming patient fell three stories through a skylight. He's oozing and suffering and basically announcing to the world that falling through glass is bad, mmmkay? Chen and Carter work frantically as he yells for Weaver. She's not around. Luka was sent home. "Pratt?" Carter tries. Chen uneasily admits that he left because "he had an emergency again." Carter is righteously peeved.
Pratt bursts into his apartment and screams for his brother. Childish sobbing fills the apartment; Pratt finds Leon slumped against a dresser. "They kicked me, they stabbed me, they stepped on my head," Leon wails. "I'm dying, G!" The culprits are, evidently, the owners of the gun Pratt had earlier. We're to assume Pratt swiped it to get it away from Leon. "They wanted the gun! They wanted to kill me!" Leon blubbers. Pratt tries to calm him down, but Leon's way too worked up for reason. "They stabbed you? Where?" Pratt asks. "In the ass, G!" Leon cries. Yeah, right. If you were a bunch of bad-ass thugs, why would you be like, "Let's stab him...in his ASS! That's where the money is! It's in the ass!" Wouldn't you stab him somewhere more easily accessible? What is with asses this week? As Leon flails and shrieks and refuses to go to the hospital, Pratt tries to comfort him. "Okay, okay, okay," he repeats, his face beginning to quiver and his eyes tearing up. That last line was brilliantly acted by Mehki Phifer. His voice actually breaks, and it's immediately clear that Pratt both adores his brother, can't handle his brother, and fears for his brother. We fade to black figuring that, if we absolutely have to put up with Pratt, we should at least get to see more of Mekhi Phifer using his talents.
