17 - Twinned Lambs

[Dr K Harris]

Discuss the episode here.

Alex struggles to help an older woman who starts to believe the year is 1985. Meanwhile, Charlie and Joel are pitted against one another by two best friends with identical shoulder injuries.

Good on Charlie for standing up for himself.... ok maybe a punch in the mouth was not the greatest idea but hey it worked!..

And Alex's patient's story was brilliant! so love them for doing stories about the problems that gays have had in the past and are still having today... *heart*

Sigh...Joel and Charlie get along and work together just fine when Alex isn't involved. Of course Charlie was out of line in punching Joel but Joel had no right to tell Charlie to give Alex space or judge his relationship. As Priggy said it must have felt like a double blow for Charlie since he was so excited earlier in the episode.

I thought the build-up was really good, Charlie slowly going from shock/amazement to thinking about the situation then finally snapping. Let's face it, if you're team ChAlex you couldn't help cheer a bit at that moment

Poor Maggie...they left out dealing with her situation in the finale so we'll see what happens early in S3. And it was very quick but appreciated Dawn's rare display of sympathy.

They dealt with the miscarriage slightly in the next episode where Gavin is hitting the pillow... but I do hope they deal with it better this season.

Thing with Joel is that he was chasing after Alex during the 1st season whilst Charlie was in a coma. Charlie breaks up with her because he loves her, Joel tells him to give her some space because Joel wants to get with Alex.

See it was episdoes like this that to me show Joels true colours, even if Alex is stupid enough to go back with him he will cheat again and she will be upset again.. again, stick with Charlie Alex, this is what you need

Don't rewatch this episode too often, forgot how many funny little moments are worked in...many involving Charlie, Joel, and their patients.

Dawn seems to have come a long way since saying she refuses to share the OR with Alex in the beginning of the season. Although she can't help getting in Alex's head regarding Charlie/relationships.

Was Alex going to keep or break her date with Charlie? Her patient told her 'you can't help who you love' and I'm not sure Alex wasn't falling for Joel.

Even though her spirit is in love with Charlie in the beginning of S3, it takes her nearly the whole season to get those feelings back and I think that stemmed back to around this time, and it wasn't just post-traumatic.
