5.06 - Doctor Robot

[ZionHarris]

Airs Sunday April 16

When Dr. Alex Reid (Erica Durance) gets a call that her alarm is going off, she arrives home to an unexpected surprise. Then, with one of the participants in her cancer trial with Dr. Maggie Lin (Julia Taylor Ross) not responding to medication, Alex and Maggie are forced to turn to Dr. Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks), the newly-appointed Chief of Surgery, for his opinion when they can’t agree on a method of treatment. Meanwhile, Dr. Zach Miller (Benjamin Ayres) is reluctantly transitioning the E.R. to an Urgent Care facility, until a patient who challenges societal conventions persuades Zach not to settle for second best.

So Charlie back to being Chief...he's said multiple times he didn't miss the position. Maybe after the breakup he just wants to focus on work.

Also teasing us with more Alex/Manny photos as well as Charlie and a mystery woman. How long are they going to drag this out before ChAlex is inevitably back together?

I really dont like the idea of another triangle and i seen pics of charlie on a date with another women why can they just get back together. Do you think that Charlie will do the paternity test?

[ZionHarris]

Charlie could just be talking with someone at the bar, don't know if it's a date.

If Alex hadn't agreed to put Luke in daycare, Charlie might have gone ahead with the test. But as long as Alex is letting him co-parent I don't see the need to do it.

Thats true. It is definatly interesting.

Regarding the woman Charlie is seen with in the pictures...after watching the trailer for 5.07 on the ION site,

SPOILER: Click to show

I think she is a lawyer or a board member. The pictures could just be of a business-related outing. But I still haven't seen the CTV preview.

[ZionHarris]

Teaser trailer is teasing alright. But I do see a hint of uncertainty/hesitation on Alex's face at the end...

[ZionHarris]

Wow, everything at Hope Zion going up in smoke! Really feel for Zach, hoping things somehow turn around and he can be convinced to stay.

Thinking Charlie changed his mind about being Chief because he no longer has to balance things with Alex as he said, and maybe also taking his own ghostly advice...going back to who he was before his own accident.

Don't think Dawn will go quietly though...

[Dr K Harris]

Unfortunately knew this was going to happen as Michael's daughter posted a vid of Michael in the office and his name on the door...

This was a good episode but I hope we have not said goodbye to Zach...glad that Charlie gave the idiot something to think about...

Very hard episode to watch being that I'm a Chalex fan.... I can't stand them apart. I know the idea is to get them all nicely back together in the end and the hospital back to itself and all of that, but I hate this sort of dramatic turn. They did this in Grey's Anatomy and I hated it there too... in that sense I am quite disappointed with the current direction the show is taking because I think SH is just so much better than GA and they shouldn't follow this line which has been done in so many hospital shows, it's boring and frustrating at the same time cause everybody knows where this will lead in the end.

On the brighter side, at least the new admin isn't totally brutal. He seems to genuinely believe in what he is doing... I like the non black and white characterization of this show. I also think that at least Many isn't devouring Alex.... he's actually being a gentleman... she on the other side seems to like him too much for my liking. I mean... she's supposed to love Charlie- she left him cause she thought she was bad for him, not because she didn't feel for him anymore... I can get Charlie - he was dumped... though again, he loves Alex so... sigh...

Get them back together again already.

I think Charlie and Alex's problem has always been lack of communication. Charlie didn't want to reveal his ghost ability, and when he walked away they didn't really talk and Alex started to get drawn to Joel. Now they haven't really talked since their fight and it's just been a bit of bickering each episode. They're pushing each other away...I think they need to lock them in a room together and get them to talk.
