ER - Series 8 Ep. 10 - I'll Be Home for Christmas

Synopsis

As Christmas nears, Benton endures bouts of rage and frustration when the custody trial for his son, Reese (recurring guest star MATTHEW WATKINS), reaches a critical stage. Benton must choose between his job and his child unless cranky Romano agrees to tailor Benton's work schedule. Benton finally quits County General, along with his girlfriend, Cleo, to work at a clinic that will allow him the hours necessary to care for Reese properly. Meanwhile, a busy Carter finds romance and receives some upsetting news from his father, Jack (recurring guest star MICHAEL GROSS), who is visiting for the holidays. Carter also ministers to a boy, Ben (LEE PERRI), whose fall from a tree causes great concern amongst his tight-knit family. A sobbing young mother, Paula Gamble (ANNE DUDEK), accidentally shoots her son. Abby curiously spies on Kovac's elusive French girlfriend, Nicole (recurring guest star JULIE DELPY), as she sneaks through the hospital.
