One of, if not the most uncomfortable episodes of ER. It's just all a little overwhelming, it's too much. From the creepy baby daddy, teenage Plan B, to an actual dead baby. The hour needed some levity, and the graduation wasn't enough.

Trivia
The medical school graduation was filmed on the main USC campus with clear views of VKC and Doheny Library in the background.

Goofs
The plot line around Abby passing her boards is not quite accurate. A practicing physician is required to be licensed, which requires a set of exams during med school and residency; but a physician must not necessarily pass a board exam, which is a higher qualification in a specialty (though it is quite common for physicians to do so). It is certainly not necessary to pass boards to graduate medical school, since these exams would be taken towards the end of or after a residency program and specialty fellowships. Abby would take a licensure exam at the end of medical school which scores would help her attain a residency, but even this exam is not necessary simply to graduate.

Quotes
John Carter: Kem, they're gonna come down and take us to our new room soon. And when they come, they're gonna take the baby and we're never gonna see him again. I don't know what the right thing is to say. I don't know what the right thing to do is. It was an accident. It was nothing that you did wrong. It was nothing that we did wrong. It just happened. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, but we have to say goodbye to our son now. I have to help you to do that, and I don't know how to do that. Please, help me. Please.
