Synopsis

The start of the fifth season marks the entrance of third-year medical student Lucy Knight. As she spends time learning the layout and staff of the ER, we learn of Dr. Anna Del Amico's departure. Carter is reminded of himself as he watches Knight learn and practise. The two eventually become at odds. Elizabeth Corday begins her surgical internship all over again in order to keep her job at the hospital, and ends her relationship with fellow surgeon Peter Benton. Benton also discovers his son's deafness. Kerry Weaver opts for a full-time chief resident post, but is defeated to an East Coast doctor, Amanda Lee. Dr. Lee soon develops a more-than-professional interest in Mark Greene. Greene does a paramedic ride-along, and Doug Ross has at last settled down with Charge Nurse Carol Hathaway. Whilst being on probation after performing a risky procedure during the fourth season, Ross breaks protocol again by informing a mother how to alter the medication given to her disabled son. She uses this information to kill her son, leaving Ross in an awkward position. He resigns and moves to Seattle.
After five seasons in ER, George Clooney departed to pursue a film career.
