12 - Hearts of Glass

[ZionHarris]

When a donor heart becomes available, Dr. Alex Reid (Erica Durance) and Dr. Dawn Bell (Michelle Nolden) jump at the opportunity to provide the ailing Leila (Samantha Kaine) with her sorely needed replacement. Wanting the heart for himself, however, is the litigation‐happy Elliot Stout, who’s also on the transplant list. Ready to sue to get a heart, Elliot creates an ethical and legal dilemma for Hope Zion Hospital doctors with major repercussions. Dr. Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks) and Dr. Joel Goran (Daniel Gillies) meet a patient with exotic hardware implanted into his legs, only to discover that he’s risked his health by resorting to Medical Tourism in the hopes of lengthening his limbs. After falling asleep in surgery, Dr. Maggie Lin (Julia Taylor Ross) is having a hard time balancing studying for the boards and fulfilling her hospital duties. When a patient forces her to think outside the box, she enlists Dr. James Dey (Mac Fyfe) to get back on track. This episode of SAVING HOPE is directed by actor and director Jason Priestley (HAVEN, CALL ME FITZ) and guest stars Adamo Ruggiero (DEGRASSI: THE NEXT GENERATION).

So Charlie and Joel working together again. Wonder if that means Joel resolved his issue already. Also have to wonder how much tension there will be between the two if they know Alex is pregnant.

According to a clip on the CTV website,

SPOILER: Click to show

Joel is out on bail.

Hmm...Alex happy Joel and Charlie are working together, or is she giving one of them an I-know-something-you-don't smile?

[ZionHarris]

Major confusion and a bit of frustration over the baby storyline. Thought for sure Joel was the father after the way the last episode ended. Charlie was happy for Alex but you could definitely tell there was a bit of sadness/defeat too, as if he knew he couldn't be the father. But Alex isn't 100% sure, so Charlie and Joel have to be on pins and needles and the rest of the hospital is involved in a paternity pool. Grr

Also, Dr. Katz mentioned Alex was pretty far along. No numbers, so I don't know if she's several months already or just far along for her first check-up. If Alex isn't sure about the father then she and Charlie must have slept together during her recuperation...which I thought was highly improbable the way the writers set it up. That's the only way there could be any overlap, as Alex put it.

Glad to see Charlie and Joel not fighting or talking too much smack about each other, but not sure how long that will last. Thought Joel was great with his patient...maybe that's why he has a high rating. Also liked his pitch to Dawn.

Not much to say on the heart transplant case...I knew it was going to be the girl that told the lawyer her foster mom was getting the heart.

So the mom's ghost says she can't leave until she knows her daughter will be ok, then disappears after Dawn hugs her. Foreshadowing?

Way way way too little Charlie and ghosting in this episode. I expected to see him with the girl near the end, or throughout the episode dealing with Alex's pregnancy.

As I said to Saving Hope twitter account.... not really worrying as Erica is pregnant in real life!

Knew what was going to happen and I was with the girl on that... Hope he bloody dies! Doesn't matter what sort of life you have had acting like an arsehole is not on!

I thought that they were sleeping together before she kicked him out, so, I do want it to be Charlie's in the end....I really do.

the outcome of yesterday's show and the heart transplant made me want to throw something at my tv....I wanted that little girl or someone to march in there, and throw caution to the window, saying, so you got your way after all, now go and say sorry to the little girl, because you just killed her mom...

that would have been great.....instead of what we got

They were living together, but the writers made it seem like that was it, imo. Alex's demeanor and attitude toward Charlie at the end if Awakenings and the beginning of Stand By Me was lukewarm at best, as if she was simply tolerating him.

I don't know whose baby I want it to be. I thought it was interesting in the last episode that Alex seemed determined she was going to raise the baby on her own. Does she not want Joel/Charlie in the picture then? Either of them are going to fight like hell to be with her when they find out who's the father.

[Dr K Harris]

I think as most woman who are alone they just think about themselves and the baby. Although I did think cop-out when she doesn't want to know whose the father until the baby is born.... which means that we will have to wait until season 4... I suppose they have to keep viewers watching somehow...

I think you will find that Dawn will adopt her.... we know she can't have children and that would be a nice ending to that arc...

I thought that Leila (mom) would end up revealing that the daughter was the kid she gave up before the end.

Unlikely to happen in real life but not out of the ordinary in tv land.

[Dr K Harris]

I hope that the guy gets sued by the 'daughter' not sure what she can do but I so hope she does! I know in real life baddies don't get their comuppence but you do hope that in drama they do!
