Elizabeth, Nathan, and Carter are still with Alison; Dr. Michael "Blink and You Miss Him" Gallant pokes his head through the door and summons Lizzie to Curtain Three. Nathan pipes up that he'd like to be responsible for following through Alison's evaluation for a heart and lung transplant. "Complete discharge summaries and review all ER charts for possible surgical consults," Elizabeth barks at him. "Can I go to the ball after that?" Nathan asks coolly. "There's an M&M at three. Don't be late," Elizabeth snaps, leaving in a dramatic whoosh of her own bitchery. Carter clears his throat and shoots a look of pity at Nathan. "She's a good teacher," he offers half-heartedly. "That's what they keep telling me," Nathan says dryly.

Jody is feeling better. Abby pretends to care. "Where's Eric?" Abby asks. Jody says he's outside having a smoke, which stuns Abby. "I keep telling him to quit," Jody says, speaking of her relationship's rich three-week history and all the texture therein. "Maybe he'll listen to his sister, especially since you're a nurse..." But Abby has caught sight of Luka "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em" Kovac , which gives her something better to do than talk to the schnozz queen over here -- seriously, Jody's endowed in that area -- and so she abruptly excuses herself to chase after Croatia's hottest son.

"I'm being sent to the principal's office because of you," Abby notes. Luka doesn't understand. "I don't know, you pissed off a bunch of nurses this time," she says. Comprehension still hasn't taken up residence in Luka's pretty, pretty head, so Abby adds that she thinks they find his attitude problematic. "I have a good attitude," Luka insists, trying to sound all bright and cheerful and even laughing at his own pathetic effort. Abby rolls her eyes. "I do," he lies through a smile. Erin interrupts, still panicking because she can't find Sarah. Abby brushes off Erin like pesky lint and trots outside to find Eric.
