If Not Now

Two weeks after Christmas, Luka and Abby struggle with a decision about whether to keep the baby, which Luka wants but Abby is unsure she is ready to have. Abby treats three patients, each of whom triggers a flashback in which they discuss her fears, and what each of them wants. Luka discovers Neela has consulted with Dr. Coburn about Amanda, a pregnant, and very religious 15-year-old girl without first presenting to him. When Amanda's parents refuse an abortion, the two differ over her care and whether Luka is influenced by his Catholicism. Later, Abby discusses her pregnancy with Coburn, and makes an appointment to see her. Luka removes Neela from Amanda's case, before suggesting a termination option that Amanda can accept. Kerry takes a fall on the ice, injuring her hip, which may have to be replaced. Ray begs Kerry for time off to join his band in LA for a gig, but the band decides to move on without him. Clemente gets a visit from the two detectives looking for the missing Jodie, and later pays a quick visit to the drug lock-up for a little help. After her appointment, Luka finds Abby near the lake. He tells her they can still be together despite her choice, and she tells him she wants them to have the baby.
