    Storyline

    Edit
    A dock worker is seriously injured in an accident and loses his arm in the process. He is taken to an experimental hospital called Project Hope headed by a dedicated surgeon named Gabriel McCracken where his arm is reattached. The operation is a success, but a complication arises and he loses the use of his good arm. Now McCracken and his staff of cutting edge surgeons try to find a way to help the young man lead a better quality of life. —Brian Washington <Sargebri@att.net>

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This was not only the final episode of "Quincy M.E", it also served as a back-door pilot of a proposed series entitled "The Cutting Edge" with many of the characters that were in this episode. Also, Anita Gillette, who played Quincy's wife Dr. Emily Hannover, was to have become a regular on this series once "Quincy" went off the air.
    • Goofs
      Allen Fawcett is Kenny Kelso. I'd guess then Paul Rudd must be the doctor.

    Backdoor Pilot, Fans of Quincy Take It In The Backdoor
    I just watched this episode and I can't believe that this was the actual series finale. They couldn't do a proper episode where the characters say goodbye? Instead, Quincy appears on the scene, not even a coroner case, then just fades away as the episode goes on? Fans deserved better. Adding insult to injury, the series wasn't even picked up.
