Plot
In the midst of being remodeled, for a more open, safe floorplan, the show's seventh season starts with Carter (Noah Wyle) completing his drug rehabilitation with the support of Abby (Maura Tierney), whose own life is in disarray after she is forced to drop out of medical school, her new romance with Kovač (Goran Visnjic) hits many pitfalls, and her bipolar-afflicted mother (Sally Field in an Emmy-winning turn) comes to stay. Tragedy ensues when Greene (Anthony Edwards) is diagnosed with terminal cancer, giving him only weeks to live. Not wanting to upset Corday (Alex Kingston) — who is caught up in a malpractice suit — he 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.
