List of episodes

The fourteenth season of the American fictional drama television series ER first aired on September 27, 2007 and concluded on May 15, 2008. The season consists of nineteen episodes. Twenty-two were initially ordered by NBC, but the season was shortened following the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, which began on November 5, 2007 and ended on February 12, 2008.

Plot

The series celebrates its 300th episode but due to the writers' strike this season runs three episodes shorter than normal. As a result, certain storylines were altered, including Gates' relationship with hospital chaplain Julia Dupree. With Kovač in Croatia, the focus shifts to Abby as she adapts to life as a single parent. Meanwhile, new ER chief Kevin Morretti continues to make his presence felt until he makes a swift exit, Pratt is angered when locum Dr. Wexler is appointed as Morretti's replacement, Sam and Gates start a relationship and Jeanie Boulet makes a return to the ER when her son is brought in.
