It was in the third season, and as much as Dr. Benson drove John Carter, he drove Dr. Gant (a black intern) even more ("Did you check the box that you were black?"). Dr. Benson had really told him off and when Carter walked by, he saw Gant and asked him if he was okay. Gant said yes.
The next thing you know, they're bringing in a mess of a person who had jumped in front of the el train. It's all hands on deck and Dr. Benson is furious that Gant isn't there. Finally, he asks Carter to page him, and when he does, a beeper goes off on the patient. Carter looks at the number on the pager and realizes that it matches the ER. He says, "Sweet Jesus!" as they all realize that the patient is Gant - who obviously doesn't make it. That episode bothered me for a long time!
I loved Jeannie Boulet singing "Good Riddence" at Dr. Anspagh's son's funeral. Also, when Carol Hathaway goes to Seattle with the twins and reunites with Doug Ross.
Did anyone else notice that, as the woman who had just delivered twins was being rushed to surgery, the director alternated scenes of Carol Hathaway during her suicide attempt (first show)?

That scene when they paged Gant in the trauma room, and Carter realized who he was working on was so heart-wrenching. Carter really stood up to Benton later, pretty much said he was to blame.
I thought the name of the song Jeannie boulet sang was "Time of your Life?" I am terrible with song titles, so I may just have the wrong title. I always think of that episode when I hear the song.
The scene that got me the most out of 15 seasons was right after Carter was stabbed and fell to the floor. He managed to say "lucy?" With her lying there dying just out of arm's reach. Carter was brilliant in those few seconds.
I also loved the reunion between Carol and Doug. I was not spoiled about his appearance and remember squealing with joy when he turned around. PERFECT!
I didn't notice them using old scenes of Carol last night, but I did notice the similarities in how the bed was spun, the mom's hair on the stretcher, etc.
My gripes of last night:
-why bring Kem back if she was going to remain miserable. Carter has had enough heartbreak this season. At least he was smiling while surrounded by his friends in the bar.
-none of the nurses/small parts (paramedics like Doris) in the retrospective. They were a big part of the show also.
-why did we need Alexis Biedel for this episode? We had plenty of medical students who could have done her part.
-whatever happened to the heart transplant mom that Dr. Brenner had taken such an interest in?
My favorites of last night:
-the original opening credits and music came back. Love Benton in those credits.
-the look on Frank's face when he realized who Rachel was.
-loved seeing the original Reese at the Center opening.
-nothing blowing up or over the top. Just another day in County General.
-Lydia waking up Archie just like she woke up Mark in the pilot. I have missed her.
-the last line by Carter, "Are you coming Dr. Greene?" Dr. Mark Greene gets to check off the top thing on his list to do before he dies, fix Rachel.
Lastly, did anyone reccognize the bride who fought with her mom? Apparently, it was the same girl who Dr. Ross sent to the prom with an IV when she was having a gall bladder attack with strict instructions to the boyfriend (who she was marrying) to have her back by a certain time.
