Summary: Due to a clerical error, a startled Abby discovers that her suicidal mother is due in court for a competency hearing and she rushes to testify that she should not be released -- but the older woman musters an alarmingly masterful display of sanity before the judge. Meanwhile, Dr. Weaver gives heartbreaking news to a sassy homeless woman who once hosted a children's show that Weaver viewed as a child. Dr. Benton steps in to help a junior high school teacher who was once his mentor and now suffers a cardiac arrest. A busy Benton also injures his hand while helping a fallen biker and learns that an injured Carla has checked into the ER with his young son Reese.
