A few things... it was SO nice to see Ray again. When he first joined the cast, I wasn't sure who annoying me more, Ray or Archie. I love em both now and was sad when he was written off after that horrific accident. I can say I have nearly been in Neela's position before and I DO NOT envy her. She needs to start being a little more assertive with people she um... wants to be involved with.
Dr Banfield... aka the new chief. What is her ISSUE? I know we'll find out eventually but she really annoys me going back and forth being a hard a$$ and then being kind. I can certainly tell you that if I've worked for years with a certain crew and somebody new comes in and thinks they can tell all of US how things are, they'd be thinking again. I wouldn't go for that. At the same time, if *I* were the new person joining a stable team, I'd ask THEM for guidance, not think I could call the shots without seeing how they operate! UGH!

I loved that episode. I knew it was Ray the moment Frank went over and told Neela she had to see that patient. I applauded and laughed!! I hope in the end she moves down to be with him, and I'm so glad he got his head straight about his disablity.
I'm so sad the season is ending, but so far I'm loving all the surprises we've had.

I always think people should go be with the ones they love, no matter what. I think too many people pass up things that would make them happy because they are scared, or they feel they have other responsibilities or obligations. That isn't good, I mean you only have one life! What is she thinking??

I have watched every episode since E.R. began coming on but it has gotten so depressing that i dread seeing it come on, but i still watch it because i know this is the last season. Neela needs to get comfortable with Neela and decide what she wants in a partner (besides the obvious)before she gets involved with anyone. It was good to see Ray (at least they didn't kill him off)but i surely miss all the older crew.

I don't find it depressing. The only depressing part for me is that it is ENDING!! I do agree about Neela. I don't know why she is having so much trouble. I thought Ray would be good for her but look what she does, she just constantly pushes him away and he's not one to sit there and feel sorry for himself.

I always thought Ray and Neela belonged together and it made me so mad when they were about to really kiss and were interrupted! Now, he's got a new girlfriend but I still have a feeling before the show goes off he's going to return and Neela's going to go with him. I hope so anyway!
We've learned what Dr. Banfield's issue was since you posted this. I hope they have her resolve her problems and act nicer before the end of the season, just so we can imagine the ER as being like a happy home as the show ends...lol!

Hehe. I NEVER would have answered a door buzzer or phone or whatever was going to interrupt a kiss. I'm selfish like that! Interrupt me LATER, not when I'm in the middle of something well deserved. 
I'd also likely make the interrupter feel bad by making a little comment lol.
I do feel bad for Dr. Banfield's situation, but that still doesn't make it okay for her to get on everybody like she does. In fact I'm not sure this is a good job for her, not just as chief but particularly at County, know what I mean? I was telling my husband that it is never okay for someone new to just stomp in somewhere and be a hardass - you have to EARN the right to act that way, and if you're new, you definitely have not earned anything. Everybody else will likely band together against you, I wouldn't accept someone new doing that wherever I worked, nor would I think I could just start somewhere and act that way!
