Tonight's Must-See

"ER," 9 p.m., NBC. In a previous episode, a hung-over Luka filled in at the hospital. He misdiagnosed a case, leaving a young patient with brain damage. He also caused a serious car accident. Now comes the aftermath. To avoid a lawsuit, Romano tells him not to admit it was his fault. Meanwhile, others have their problems: Weaver tries to keep her pregnancy a secret, Pratt brings a gun into the emergency room and Chen deals with students who overdosed on Ritalin.
