16 - Torn and Frayed

[ZionHarris]

A stretched-thin Dr. Alex Reid (Erica Durance) teams up with Dr. Cassie Williams (Kim Shaw) when a young woman is admitted with abdominal bruising. When it becomes clear that her injuries might have been the result of domestic abuse, Alex and Cassie must overcome not only an increasingly domineering spouse, but an increasingly reluctant victim, to get their patient the help she needs. In the OR, a run-away pacemaker puts the life of a patient on the line and forces him to reconsider the new lease on life he’s adopted, while Dr. Dawn Bell (Michelle Nolden) also struggles to move on as she tries to get passed her broken relationship with Lane Berkley (Shaun Benson, DEFIANCE: THE LOST ONES) by painting her office. In the E.R., after a night to remember for all the wrong reasons, Nurse Jackson Wade (Joseph Pierre) seeks medical attention from Dr. Maggie Lin (Julia Taylor Ross) for a neurological symptom.

Episode directed by Erica Durance.

Bringing up a quote from an older interview with writer Patrick Tarr, who wrote this episode:

"While a lot of the big arcs of the season come to fruition in the final two episodes, there’s one very pivotal scene for two characters at the end of 416 that I felt very lucky to be able write."

Charlie/Alex? Dawn/Zach? Other?

What about Cassie Williams/Jeremy Bishop?

[ZionHarris]

Possible. He tried to nip things in the bud last week but you never know.

Very interesting ghost story, reminded me a bit of Scott from Season 1. Loved Charlie's 'Just filled in the blinks' line.

Shahir being Shahir. Liked Charlie's scene with him as well as his ones with Bishop. Kind of nice that Charlie has a buddy for once.

No surprise with Dawn and Zach, but still enjoying their scenes.

i was hoping that he'd wake up in the end

i know, that part was good....the i filled in the blanks

Charlie was in his coma for about 3 months, but he told Max it was almost a year. Mistake by the writers, an exaggeration by Charlie to help connect with Max, or a tiny sign of brain issues?

good points

I would put that down to for Charlie it probably felt like a year. Loved him in this episode, his compassion warms the heart. All the stories were great, just have one problem, still not a fan of Cassie, would rather see more of Maggie and the other 2 new doctors.

[karinsuezen]
