Source-derived summary

The fourteenth season of the American fictional drama television series ER first aired on NBC on September 27, 2007, and concluded on May 15, 2008. It consists of 19 episodes. NBC and Warner Bros. Television had planned for the 14th season to be the series' last one and for former regular characters to appear in most episodes including the forecast series finale. Because of the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike and the months-long shutdown/ramp-up related to it, these plans were moved onto a 15th season in 2008–09.

Plot

The series celebrates its 300th episode but due to the writers' strike this season runs three episodes shorter than normal. As a result, certain storylines were altered, including Gates' relationship with hospital chaplain Julia Dupree. With Kovač in Croatia, the focus shifts to Abby as she adapts to life as a single parent. Meanwhile, new ER chief Kevin Moretti continues to make his presence felt until he makes a swift exit, Pratt is angered when locum Dr. Wexler is appointed as Moretti's replacement, Sam and Gates start a relationship and Jeanie Boulet makes a return to the ER when her son is brought in.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“ER season 14” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, season, television and series provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q463115. The first chronological checks are 2007 and 2008.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
