One Can Only Hope

From Epnebelle:

"One Can Only Hope"
A disciplinary hearing is scheduled for Luka, after the nurses (minus Abby) sign a petition against him.
Elizabeth is still struggling to connect with her patients, and resistant to Nathan working as a surgeon.
Carter and Abby have a night out with Eric and his new girlfriend, whom Abby has concerns about.
Pratt tries to reassure a shaken Chen after a bad day.
Some sort of attitude thing (referring to how Luka upset all of the nurses).
He and Chuny also apparently have a fling prior to this. Don't get me started on that. I pray to god that somehow gets cut.
The petition is signed by only the female nurses (except, of course, Abby). No male nurses involved.
Luka will have slept with at least *three* (count 'em, three) different women by Episode Six.

From Bluebelly:
Haleh tells Abby that she has been a nurse for many years. She talks about how nurses really run this place. She mentions how nurses don't get enough credit and money for the work they do. Haleh mentions she has given up on being appreciated. However, she won't let any of the nurses be taken for granted.

From Ain't It Cool News:
ER
Some tidbits gleaned from a November sweeps episode titled “The Lottery.” * Did somebody say “Olaf the Troll”? The Illinois Powerball jackpot is up to $87 million, and admissions clerk Jerry will take to reselling lotto ducats to fellow County staffers.

* Now that John and Abby have officially coupled, sensitive widower Luka Kovac has apparently transformed into a rabid womanizer, and endures an ugly breakup with County’s second-hottest ER nurse, Chuny Marquez. Kovac’s behavior even sparks a petition signed by all the female ER nurses (save Abby).

* Abby’s brother Eric (Tom Everett Scott), like his mom, suffers from a mood disorder, and turns up in Chicago in love with a young woman he just met. (Eric also confides to Carter that Abby was famous at her Catholic school for wearing a Sex Pistols T-shirt over her jumper.)

* Corday expresses serious doubts about the surgical future of Parkinson’s-riddled middle-aged med student Paul Nathan (Don Cheadle). Nathan takes his concerns about Corday’s concerns to Romano.

* Nathan proves himself a hero again when he befriends a 26-year-old named Alison whose rare and painful genetic disorder causes her to sign a DNR.

* Corday will treat a 14-year-old who was apparently drugged and raped. The twist is the teen doesn’t appear to remember what happened to her, and the girl’s father doesn’t want Corday to let the kid in on the bad news. Mrs. Greene will also help a jumpy rookie cop with a nasty gash in her hand.

* Jing-Mei is jumpy too after she encounters a belligerent biker patient who calls her a “yellow bitch” and threatens to “come back and cut you up!” Pratt decides it’s his job to calm her down.

* Big Susie will deal with a elderly woman with noisy digestive issues, and send Abby’s brother out in search of lottery tickets.

Booty Bulletin - Update:

In Season Nine, Luka the Lothario has slept with at least five women by episode seven. Two of them appear to be married, with children. Meanwhile, NBC characterizes Luka's feelings for Abby as "brotherly affection," and uses the "L" word when discussing Carby.

From Donatella at weavered.com:
Carter, Abby Jody, and Eric are sitting at a table in a place that plays country music . People are dancing to the music. Carter and Abby are drinking sodas.
ERIC: Catholic school refugees, both of us. Abby was completely famous. She used to wear a Sex Pistols T-shirt over her jumper.
CARTER: (to Abby) I hope you kept that uniform.
ABBY: You were pretty bad yourself.
