Kerry was all in favor of Abby going to med school and was disappointed when she didn't. Honestly, I think they're sort of carrying this over from an episode called "Calling Dr. Hathaway" when Carol was contemplating going to med school.
I'm going to have to do some looking, but I think Abby might be a second or third-year student now. They just don't really show her going to classes or anything...same for the other students.
Anyone notice that Kerry made a point of giving them cider instead of real champagne? Although they haven't really made a big deal about it, I think Abby's finally decided to take control of her drinking again. Good thing -- if she wants to get through med school.
Yep, picked up on the alcohol free 'champagne'. Comfused Neela though, can't blame her after for that grueling rotation. I think I'd be needing a drink....but Abby still played it cool. Made it sound like she didn't care for champagne. Always keep 'em guessing Abby. John would have been proud. It was also nice to see those two interact last night and in a more private way. You could tell they each wanted to say more but with things as they are, what they did say was best - keep it light and move on. I don't know though something tells me his g/f's pregnancy won't go well and/or the mom will die. Then Abby and John could still end up together in the end. Stranger things have happened.
Thanks Duck and Blizzard for clearing up my confusion on the timing of Abby's Med rotations. I do recall she wanted to go to med school a few years ago. And yes it does sound a lot like Hathaway's story. But in the end Carol knew being a good head nurse was where she was really needed. I actually applauded her for that decision. Just be happy where you're at and do the best job possible.

). It's going to be an intense episode, involving Abby and Neela working in the neonatal ICU. From what I've read of the script, we don't know who the parent is until the camera pans up to show her face after Abby delivers the baby. If you don't want to be surprised and want to know it is, highlight here: 
Some of it's just basic blah-blah-blah about what's going to happen in the next episode. But sometimes, they give you a real surprise.
I love ER... That is my favorite Show!!
