Twenty-One Guns (ER)

Written by David Zabel and directed by Nelson McCormick, the episode originally aired on May 18, 2006 on NBC.

He stops off in the ER in the morning and all the staff give their love for him to pass on to Neela.

Anspaugh wants to know why Kerry hired Clemente in the first place after his troubled history and she defends her actions.

Their discussion is put on hold by a patient needing Abby and Kerry wanting to talk to Luka.

Luka notes that he wasn't chief when Clemente was hired and asks if he's getting blamed for not firing him sooner.

Meanwhile, it's Morris' last day in the ER before he leaves to work for a drug company and he's refusing to treat half of the patients that come in as he thinks he deserves special treatment.

He also is trying to keep a video diary to remind him of his time at County and is shoving a camera into people's faces and getting them to say complimentary things about him.

One of the patients Morris rejects is a little boy called Timmy who is dressed as a strawberry.

In the limo the soldier goes over the program of events including the full military honors that Michael will be given.

Sam is given the task of showing EMT trainee Mary around the ER and letting her perform minor procedures such as taking a BP.

She quickly becomes irritated by Mary's lack of knowledge as do the other staff, especially when she claims to know CPR and then performs it incorrectly.

Luka throws her out of the exam room then later sympathizes with Sam over her predicament which only gets worse when Steve and another prisoner are brought into the ER for injuries sustained while fighting.

Steve has ripped stitches from his appendectomy (see episode No Place To Hide).

She starts to treat his wound, not noticing Mary in the other room knocking out the officer looking after Rafe with a chloroform-soaked rag.

While Sam chats with Steve, Mary unlocks Rafe and the prisoner dresses up in the officer's clothes.

Neela remembers the good and bad times with Michael (see episodes The Student, Where There's Smoke, Two Ships and Split Decisions).

Afterwards at the wake Michael's father starts talking about the 'mind of a warrior' being constantly prepared for death.

She says that his father should have made him stay simply because he loved him, not sent him away for a false sense of duty.

Sam is treating Steve in the suture room when Mary walks and points a gun at the other guard.

They ask Abby if she is religious and when they guess she is not they call her brave for having a child in a bad world without believing in God.

At the admit area Luka hears that Steve has been brought in to the ER and that Sam is treating him.

Abby turns back to face Mary, pushing open the door several inches and asks if she meant to say "CT" just as Rafe raises a gun, positioning it to be directly in her face when she turns back to enter the room.

Defeated, Mary confirms she meant Kovac had gone to CT, just as Abby remembers she had last seen the sonosite in exam 3.

Just before they exit Morris stops them because some police officers have arrived looking for a patient that Sam treated.

Abby knows that there is something wrong and tells the police officers to call them back from the waiting room.

Rafe and Steve turn and, dragging Sam with them, exit to the ambulance bay where Mary has brought a van.

In the trauma room Morris, Ray and Abby work hard on Jerry, whose condition is slowly deteriorating.

Abby goes searching in the empty trauma room for a piece of equipment and again starts to feel dizzy.
