S9 E6: Corday clashes with new surgical resident Paul Nathan (recurring guest star Don Cheadle) regarding his intervention into the treatment of a sickly young woman, Alison (Nora Zimmett), who has signed a "do not resuscitate" order. Abby wonders about the erratic behavior of her visiting brother, Eric (recurring guest star Tom Everett Scott). She also feels conflicted over a nurse's official complaint against Kovac, Abby's former lover.
