Synopsis

County General opens its doors once more for the eighth heart-pounding series of E.R. In this instalment, a torrential downpour hits Chicago leaving many casualties; Chen struggles to prove herself as the newly-appointed Chief Resident; Mark secretly battles with a brain tumour while Corday threatens to leave him over his unruly teenage daughter; and Weaver--having just come out as a lesbian--searches for her biological mother. The finale sees the patients stage a minor riot when the E.R. is quarantined to stop the spread of a deadly virus. With its multiple intersecting storylines, clever plot twists and realistic characters, E.R. remains one of the finest dramas ever to grace the small screen.
