Pitt was once again surprised by the development of his story, both about the patients in this emergency room, as well as the doctors and staff who took care of them, and went all out to save them.
Plot summary
Dana’s attack had a big impact on all her ER colleagues, especially other nurses, triggering discussions about situations that were more common than they should be. McKay must deal with professional and personal tensions. Mohan and King reflect on what qualities can distinguish their work, Whitaker builds trust with one of his patients’ wife, while Javadi sees himself in a young patient under pressure from his father. Finally, the situation between Santos and Langdon surfaced, causing an unexpected reaction from Robby.
Ongoing cases
Although not yet resolved, the David Saunders case escalated, as McKay called police, who asked his mother before leaving the hospital. This leads Robbie to face the issue of a doctor making a decision without consulting him, and in addition to considering the happiness of the boy and mother, she should also consider the girl who might be at risk because of David. This made Robbie think, and although he was still upset with Cassie, he accepted her point of view.

New case
Robby invited McKay and Javadi to help with a young baseball player, and he was hit in the game. While treating him, the doctor realized that the boy’s father seemed to have high hopes for his son’s sports career, which led to Jawadi reflecting the same pressure she had on her mother. Additionally, McKay visited from his son while also having to deal with his ex, who arrived at the hospital and was injured. During her stay, Collins discovered that the man might still have feelings for her colleagues.
Meanwhile, Mohan and King are in charge of a player girl’s case, who arrives with an ICTUS and, in some complex situations, finally begins to recover. For her treatment, Dr. Mehta is an expert in conditions like the patient. He has the particularity of a medical joke every moment because he firmly believes that laughter can help everyone feel better. This makes King question whether she has her own skills, a “special sauce” that separates her work from other doctors. Mohan told her that she only needed to find it herself.
The worst case is young people with severe burns caused by gas tank explosions. Whitaker also found common ground with him and his pregnant wife, as they also came from a farm, which helped build trust. She invited him to visit them one day, although it might not be possible, as Langdon told his colleagues that he might not be able to survive despite the delicate procedures performed on the patient.

Highlights
In this episode, Dana is attacked by the patient and has a great resonance. Although she stands out from all her studies and is able to restore herself before the end of her hour, it highlights a major and unknown issue – violence against health care workers. All her colleagues share that in one way or another, they suffer from these conditions, which also leads to a shortage of nurses, considering that there are not enough safety conditions to work.
On the other hand, Santos’ concerns about Langdon’s possible malfeasance are finally real. Although there have been some clues that this story will be like this, the scenes of Robbie confrontation with one of his most prominent residents are still surprising. After his boss checked his locker, Langdon had no choice but to accept painkillers he had been stealing from his patients, which eventually led to his dismissal from the emergency.

Characters of the week
Michael Robby Robinavitch: In charge of the emergency room, it was obvious that Dr. Robbie would have the control of everything, but I was still surprised to find that he absolutely knew all the details and circumstances that were coming up in his transformation. He is also able to focus on every patient and colleague on the team.
Trinity Santos: Although this choice seems somewhat controversial, I think that despite the bad attitudes that have been around since Santos came to the emergency room (ER), she shows that she is a good observer, she really cares about her work and is determined to get into trouble. We can finally see that she has always been right. Whether she uses a hidden agenda and how this situation affects the rest of the team remains to be seen.
While the series continues to be filled with tense and emotional moments, it does not highlight important situations that we don’t always consider, but reflects reality. Such as the risk situation of a nurse and the personal and emotional problems the doctor experiences. We are getting closer to the end of the season, so the intensity of the story is expected to increase.
