When the writers wrote last nights episode did they even
watch an episode of Luca from past years?
I don't think Luca from his early seasons would have done that
with any woman.

Abby should really have held her tongue until she has had
a parent die. Of course Abby won't experience that since
she and mom aren't close. Until you've had a parent you
were close to die can you really understand what Luka went
through.
Yeah Abby may have had it rough at times but Luka loosing
his father will be one of the most devastating events in
his life. Abby can't really grasp that with her mom but
but the fact remains the death of Luka's parent will
devaste him and it may well be many years before
he is completly over it. Abby as a doctor should
have grasped that by now. (As a doctor she has
seen how many parents die and leave relatives
devastated?)

No it is not Lukas fault. Having a parent die is one of the
most devastating events in persons life.

Pretent the patient was never intubated?

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn' the chaplain in a hospital
supposed to be able to handle all religions?

So does this mean Luka is gone for good, Abby comes back from
rehab magically cured of alcoholism, she falls madly
in love with some other man, and somehow sheds
Luka?
(I have to wonder if the ending last night means that
Luka will want a divorce, the resulting divorce
forces Abby to check her self into rehab. Does she
ever really level with Luka about why? The whole thing
left me cold, like Abby kicked Luka in the teeth,
kneed him in the groin, and stabbed him the back. Abby
owed him more than what she gave.)
