The costuming in this scene is very telling. Mark, Deb, Weaver, and Anspaugh are all dressed as doctors, lab-coats/equipment etc, and they all speak in terms of what he could lose in his job/career. Benton is dressed as a “civilian”, and is the one who follows him as he tries to leave, and is the one who taps into a baser level of human feeling, which is why Carter lashes out and hits him. But also why Carter accepts his help. Just a lovely detail in a very powerful scene.

The acting in this scene is phenomenal. You can see how uncomfortable Carter is when he realises what's about to happen. He knows there's no point in denying it, but he still doesn't want to admit it, because he's ashamed, and you can see it so clearly in his body language. Just the way when he shrugs, his arm hits the blinds, because that's how it is in real life, things don't go smooth for the sake of a dramatic movie scene. I also love how he fights the tears two times before he finally gives in and cries and shows his emotions. Before that he's just gone on autopilot, shoving the emotions away. All those little details is what makes the dramatic scenes of ER so good. You actually feel what the characters feel. Most other shows just try to make scenes like this as dramatic as possible with characters screaming and crying hysterically.

Even though this show was a drama, it felt like the characters were so real! To me this show was the best show that ever aired, and there will never be a better show than ER!

It took rewatching the show to realize that Benton and Carter were really the best characters to watch 2 phenomenal actors performing at a stellar rate. Benton really becomes more nurturing and kinder to Carter once he himself becomes a father. But always Carter was this little annoying brother to him, especially in the beginning, but eventually involves it evolves into a very deep brotherly love and bond The early season where Carter wants Benton to come to his family graduation,. Benton is too arrogant to even realize that Carter really wants him to come bcause he highly admires him as a friend. And then you see the evolution of their bond, when Carter gets stabbed in season. 6 Benton is going crazy to save him him running down the stairs still give me goosebumps, it's very adorable

I remember watching this episode back in 2010 when I was 15, this storyline was one of my favourites and Carter was my favourite character. I remember thinking how well they portrayed addiction, despite being 15 with no experience or thorough understanding of addiction, this scene was extremely powerful and it stuck with me. I'm now 27, and 12 years after first watching this scene here I am again, re-watching it, except this time with my own personal experience with addiction to painkillers. I didn't think it was possible for this scene to be even more powerful but watching it now with a deeper understanding of just how Carter feels, god this is one of my favourite scenes of all time in any TV series or movie. It will stay with me for the rest of my life.

His brother died at a very young age, his mother became very distant, his cousin had an overdose, he and Lucy get stabbed and she dies before he can apologize for his misjudgement, Mark Greene passes away, and then his son dies.

Carter is one of the lucky ones. An addict with people around him who care about him and who have the medical knowledge of how to deal with it. I didn't have that.

You see? You want me to roll up my sleeves?” Weaver: “Take off your watch.” Carter: “Uhhhh, you know?...” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Weaver once again has to play the bad cop -- it's one of the things she was best at.

I love weaver in this scene. Because you can see her affliction for him not following her rules. She who likes to be in control of everything. I also love that she stays in his way for him not tô leave. IF one thing she ever demonstrated was that she would not run away from a fight.

Benton and Carter the best bromance on ER

ER was so well written. Miss this series.

What stings even more than being in the same room as the patient that stabbed him and Lucy is that he’s going to Atlanta for 90 days, where Dennis Gant was from before moving to Chicago.

Yeah that story line was so sad. Poor Gant had no support and was in a super competitive and harsh environment with no one to back him up. Pressure like that must be horrendous. This is what I love about ER is the fact that they tackled so many uncomfortable topics, topics that are still having to be challenged now, let alone the 20 odd years ago.

After all these years I still haven’t found a show that comes close to ER…it was perfect

When Carter asked "Is he fired" if won't go to rehab and Dr. Green nodded Benton's reaction said it all. He knows Carter doesn't like being put in the corner and will fight to the end to get out from there

Benton’s response to Carter’s punch just demonstrated the powerful script and great characters of the series. Benton nurtured Carter from the very beginning. He even travelled with him on the plane. That punch hurt Cater more than Benton. Absolutely brilliant performances and TV series.

Benton thinks highly of Carter and this must have hurt him so bad to see his intern almost throw it all away.

Night flight to Atlanta. I remember the "old days" (before airplanes became like crammed sardine cans). It was great to fly at night. The peace and quiet of that interval in time. Once I was on a flight with less than 20 passengers. So fantastic to have the whole row to myself and all the attention.

Proud to say Eriq is from my home state of Connecticut.

Goodness grief, never realised this after all these years...very subtle nod

This was one of my favorite episodes in the whole series.

Anyone notice each of them had a unique role in the intervention? Greene: Served as the pitchman, and assured Carter they would do everything to help him when he came back from treatment. Anspaugh: Made it clear to Carter how serious the situation was, but that he was in a judgment-free zone. Weaver: Wanted Carter to see the physical effects of his drug use. Chen: Wanted Carter to know how his drug use was affecting his work and nearly killed a patient. Benton: The man who grabbed Carter’s hand before he fell off the cliff. Showed how much he cared about Carter by going to Atlanta with him.

The labcoat - symbolism of one's career. He starts to neatly fold it, but then casually throws it away...

Also I just noticed how he quickly stares at Benton as he's leaving. Is he showing off or desperately begging for help? Great show, great subtleties.

The friendship that Benton and Carter formed throughout the seasons was amazing to watch. He understood what he needed to say to Carter in order to get him to rehab. He was scared when Carter was stabbed and almost died. Out of anyone in the hospital (besides Cleo) he truly ended up caring for Carter.

Just watched this for the first time. The acting in this show always amazes me.

This was perfectly written: Carter brings up what all addicts bring up when it wasn't to a point beyond lost hope yet: he brings up that nothing has suffered from his job and performance so he therefore doesn't have a drug "problem" which is what they were all accusing him of. Its almost like he was saying/challenging them and saying "I may have a drug "dependency" right now... but it hasn't been a "problem"..." They like to throw the exact words and what they "technically" mean back at thise helping them

Having lost several classmates I went to school with because of addictions this is very still relevant storyline. it's amazing and it speaks to the power of the show and the writing and acting ability of the show that a show that started in 1994 ended in 2009 12 years later still has storylines that are relevant today. I don't know what that says about our society as a whole the fact that the storylines are still so relevant but the fact that they are speaks to the strength of the show and how it dealt with a real issues and actually accurately showed for the most part the human consequences of behavior.

A few scenes before this we got Mark and Kerry discussing Carter's addiction, and Kerry is about to cry. Kerri asking Mark, "How did we let this happen?" They were kinda like parents to him. Season 6 is my favorite season. Between all the new additions, Carter/Lucy/addiction storyline, Mark and his father reconnecting, Carol/Luka/Doug triangle. It's the season I've watched the most.

This is the best episode ever. I constituted tough love from so many people, that is to save the one (Carter). This is ER’s best storyline ever…The world needs more loving tough love.

When Carter broke, it was the fear, knowing that what Benton said, tho it was hard, was totally true.

At the beginning I did not like Dr. Benton but by the end he was a favorite.

I love this scene, so much! The emotions look so genuine, particularly between Carter and Benton by the van. These two had such a brilliant arc together!!

These are my favourite scenes in the entire series.

Benton displays the best doctor.. every med student should watch this scene

Probably one of the first….if not the first show to tackle what was still a fairly unheard of issue that was quietly creeping up all over the country. Groundbreaking
