When Kerry comes into work to find a Valentines party still going she starts getting people back to work. The ER is slow, and so are the doctors in discovering Dr. Carter and Lucy both stabbed and bleeding to death in one of the trauma rooms, after previously being stabbed by a psych patient, one episode earlier. The ER springs into action to save their fellow co-workers who have both lost a lot of blood. Even Greene and Corday are called to the ER from a date they are having with their parents. While both sustain serious injuries, only Carter survives. The ER starts to get back to normal as each attending takes a moment for themselves. Carter talks to Benton in the end to discover Lucy is dead, and that he will make a complete recovery. The ER staff one-by-one learns of Lucy's fate and realize they must continue one staff member less.
