01.01 One Day

The whole keeping track of the stats is never going to work. It means I don't watch the episode as thoroughly as I could. This episode takes place 8 weeks later, and contains various mild reboots. Carol's fiance, mentioned in the pilot, has vanished whilst her involvment with Ross has changed from a vague dating past into a 2 year relationship (we find out in 1.03 that he was the one to finish it and his guilt over her suicide suggests that he did it recently enough to think that it may have a reason for her overdose).

Ross's student has also vanished, so there is only Carter. Combined with the fact there are only two residents (Benton and Susan), it seems very understaffed compared to later seasons.

We get our first look at the helicopter pad.

This is essentially another 'Day in the Life' episode, this time starting with Susan being woken from her sleep in one of the rooms. 01.02 starts with Benton waking and 01.04 starts with Carter. These early episodes are very big on how tired the doctors always are.
