The seventh season of the American fictional drama television series ER first aired on October 12, 2000 and concluded on May 17, 2001. The seventh season consists of 22 episodes.

Plot

In the midst of being remodeled, for a more open, safe floorplan, the show's seventh season starts with John Carter (Noah Wyle) completing his drug rehabilitation and trying to be who he was before he got stabbed with the support of Abby Lockhart (Maura Tierney), whose own life is in disarray after she is forced to drop out of medical school, her new romance with Luka Kovač (Goran Visnjic) hits many pitfalls and she reaches a crossroads in her Nurse position at County, and her bipolar-afflicted mother (Sally Field in an Emmy-winning turn) comes to stay. Tragedy ensues when Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards) is diagnosed with terminal cancer, giving him only weeks to live. Kerry Weaver (Laura Innes) also has some issues of her own as she deals with her new lifestyle. Benton (Eriq La Salle) tries to find a new spot at County. Not wanting to upset Elizabeth Corday (Alex Kingston) — who is caught up in a malpractice suit — Mark keeps his illness a secret. After successful surgery, he proposes to her and she is heavily pregnant when they get married. This season also includes the 150th event episode in which a massive train wreck mobilizes the ER doctors and nurses to the scene.
