homosexual companion, Curt Oberg  (HANK

injured when Michael backs the car into him. Chen administers to elderly
Mrs. Duffy (PEG PHILLIPS) patient with Parkinson's disease. Her primary
caregiver and exhausted daughter, Louise (DIANE BAKER), hopes Chen will
admit her mother, but Chen refuses. Later, Carter admits Louise for
medical tests after she falls--forcing Chen to order a bed for Mrs.
Duffy. Linsey thanks Corday for successfully getting Rollins to reveal
the location of the body of Linsey's murdered sister. Corday tricked
Rollins, and now he's being transferred to county jail. Speaking fluent
Spanish, Malucci helps Cleo treat two patients suffering the
after-effects of taking Mexican drugs, banned in the United States and
obtained through unlawful prescriptions. Malucci gathers evidence about
the illegal pharmacy. Hathaway returns to work after giving birth but
