06 - Rock and a Hard Place

[ZionHarris]

Dr. Alex Reid (Erica Durance) finds out Dr. Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks) has been seeing the spirit of her patient, convicted murderer Tom Crenshaw (Travis Milne, ROOKIE BLUE), outside of the hospital, and despite her concerns she must rely on Charlie’s ability to help save another one of her patients. Urban explorer Nick Desmond (Shawn Roberts, Resident Evil: Afterlife) is admitted after a fall, and in danger of losing not just his leg, but also his life, Alex must rely on information she cannot explain, procured from Charlie’s ghostly communication with the patient’s spirit . In the E.R., when a gambler is admitted with a crudely amputated ear, Dr. Dana Kinney (Wendy Crewson) is thrilled at the opportunity to perform a unique surgery that would re-construct the organ on the patient’s forearm, but Dr. Cassie Williams (Kim Shaw, THE GOOD WIFE) is convinced he’ll just waste the chance at a new life. Meanwhile, the mentorship program works both ways when Dr. Maggie Lin (Julia Taylor Ross) instructs Dr. Dev Sekera (Dejan Loyola, THE TOMORROW PEOPLE) on the fine art of bedside manner, while Dev pushes Maggie to demand more from the senior surgical staff.

Not in the promo or description but there's a few stills with Zach and Dawn. Don't know if Dawn will tell him or anyone else what happened to her but it looks like she's already dealing with the after effects of her incident.

I've been wondering for a long time when Alex and/or Dawn was going to call Charlie into a surgery for his supernatural help. Just hoping that 'I need what's real' line doesn't come after he helps save the life of her patient. Would go toward my feeling that Alex just can't handle the ghost side of Charlie.

Zion, all I know is that Shaun Benson the actor who plays Lane appears to be in another 3 episodes according to imdb, including this one.

So, I don't know what's going to happen.

[ZionHarris]

He's on the board, so he may try and cause trouble for Dawn. I'd love to see the hospital (especially Charlie) stand up to him.

SPOILER: Click to show

In the Season 4 promo video, Dawn does stand up to him herself, saying something like 'You don't touch me again after what you did.' But if he's in more eps then the story must get carried out longer.

Just watched the season 4 trailer and you see the last scene between Dawn and Lane from last ep, albeit so briefly you don't know what's going on.

SPOILER: Click to show

Also see Dawn having a panic attack and its Zach who notices it. So its maybe Zach she ends up telling. According to imdb, Lane is in this episode as well as episodes 9 & 10 titled Shattered and Emotional Rescue respectively.

[ZionHarris]

Funny that he's listed in more episodes but the main cast is only listed through Beasts of Burden. IMDB only goes up to episode 410 so far so I suppose Lane could be in even more.

Both Dawn photos for this ep show her with Zach, so wondering the same thing. Will she tell him or just blame it on stress?

[ZionHarris]

ChAlex...not as pissed at Alex as I thought I might be, but there's going to be some bumps ahead for these two. I realize she has to keep things real in front of the med students and on the charts, and that's not possible most of the time when ghosts are involved. Charlie's done some nearly inexplicable things in the past and I'm sure that will continue. I just hope she can find other ways to support him if she's not joining in ghost doctoring.

Dawn...not sure what her best move is right now. Would love for Lane to be arrested and charged but maybe Dawn is worried what effect that will have on the hospital. Reminded me of Charlie last week having to hold off speaking her mind but then simply putting Lane in his place. We know he'll be back...wonder if he's going to go into stalker or blackmail mode.  Loved the Zach/Dawn scene, he can be really sweet when he wants to be.

Dana...gets the heartbreak of the week, sorry to hear her cancer is back. Hope she can fight it again but also that she doesn't wait until the last minute to tell her friends/coworkers...and Molly. Very interesting procedure.

Enjoyed all the newbies this week...but I guess we won't be seeing any more of Dr. Curtis. Yikes.

Shahir back next week as fill-in Chief

WOOOHHOOOO... is all I can say GO DAWN!! thank god they have got her being tough... yes she had a panic attack but that is normal after any trauma...

And then BANG! poor Dana! so not fair!

CTV have episode 7 up instead of this one. Bit of a mistake. So I'm watching it. Although Hola has stopped working for me.

[mellie]

Thought I had gone mad as what I watched using hola this morning didn't relate at all to this episode, glad it was next weeks, had started to worry about my sanity! Will promise to keep silent about next weeks

[ZionHarris]

It appears CTV has the correct episode up now.
