Season 13 of ER is producing some of the best episodes of ER I have ever seen. I just finished watching Heart Of The Matter, and I loved it. I can confidently say that it was the best episode so far in this season. It got me thinking about my favourite episodes through out the whole 12 years. So here is my top 10 if you are interested:
#10. Freefall (Season 10):
In this episode, a helicopter crashes on the ambulance bay of the ER, causing a major fiasco. Romano is killed after he is squashed by helicopter, and Susan worries for the safety of her ex-husband, Chuck. I always love ER episodes where there is a lot of action. I always think it brings out the talent in the actors more than a boring episode where nothing happens.
#9. Blizzard (Season 1):
When Chicago is hit with a blizzard, the ER experiences one of it's quietest days ever, allowing the stuff to actually have fun, this is until a 40 car pile up brings dozens of patients to the ER, causing pure chaos. One of the earlier episodes of ER, but in my opinion a classic.
#8. Love's Labor Lost (Season 1):
Mark realizes he missed a diagnosis on a pregnant woman when she seizes moments after leaving the ER. Greene, Lewis, Carter, and Chen work together to try to deliver Jodi O'Brien's child and save Jodi's life in a very difficult delivery. Peter grapples with his own demons in the wake of his mother's collapse. (From TV.COM)
#7. The Crossing (Season 7):
A train crash brings Luka and Carter out onto the scene, where Carter performs an amputation guided by Benton via phone. Bishop Stewart dies, but not before he grants Luka absolution. This episode was very moving, as we got to see flashbacks from Luka's past, and see how his family was killed. I cried buckets when the Bishop died.
#6. Rescue Me (Season 7):
In this episode, Mark discovers he has a brain tumour, and Abby's mother decides to stay in Chicago against Abby's wishes. An explosion nearly kills Abby, but Carter saves her life, and Corday discovers she is pregnant after also finding out she is being sued for Malpractice.
#5. 21 Guns (Season 12):
Sam's ex-husband Steve is brought into the ER after he is involved in a fight at the prison. He plans to escape, having several alliances at the hospital and prison. Luka becomes suspicious and is injected with "Veck" when he tries to stop them, Sam inturbates him but is forced to leave him as she must help the escape go to plan. On his way out Steve and the fake security guard start shooting, and Jerry is shot. A pregnant Abby collapses in a pool of blood, and all Luka can do is watch.
#4. Secrets And Lies (Season 8 ) :
Susan, Abby, Luka, Carter and Gallant are forced to go to an all day sexual harrassment seminar after going through a patients very private belongings. There they learn a lot about each other, including how they lost their virginity and who can do Hamlet better: Luka or Carter.
#3. Great Expectations (Season 6):
Carol goes into labour on the El train, and Luka helps her back to the ER. She delivers baby Tess in the ER, and when complications arrive, she is forced to have a C-Section to deliver baby Kate. Marvellous episode as Carol gives birth to her twin girls. This was also Abby's first episode, where we see her working as an OB nurse.
#2. On The Beach (Season 8 ):
Mark spends his remaining days in Hawaii with Rachel where he teaches her how to surf. Corday arrives with Ella, and after Mark has a seizure she wants to take him home. He refuses, and dies the next morning. The staff of the ER attends the very emotional funeral.
#1. Be Still My Heart (Season 6):
It's Valentines Day, Romano brings his dog in for surgery, Abby faces reality in the ER after one of her patients dies, and Luka and Carol tell two children that their parents have died. Lucy treats a young law student who may have schizophrenia. Carter keeps ignoring her, and at the end of the day finds Lucy has been stabbed by him, after being stabbed himself.
There you have it! I may do my favourite Will and Grace, or Greys Anatomy episodes next.
