5.07 - Gutted

[ZionHarris]

Airs Sunday April 23

Following surgical complications with their cancer study patient, Dr. Alex Reid (Erica Durance) and Dr. Maggie Lin (Julia Taylor Ross) find themselves dealing with a tough, no-nonsense lawyer. Meanwhile, Dr. Zach Miller’s (Benjamin Ayres) emergency room has finally transitioned into an urgent care facility, with all serious trauma injuries being rerouted to other hospitals. But when a car crashes into the ambulance bay, Zach and his trauma team are ill-equipped to treat a man who’s been pinned between the car and a wall.

So the kicker is that the 'tough lawyer' on the case is Charlie's girl friend from last episode.

Wow, I had such low expectations for this one but now I'm so hyped about it! It was one of the best episodes.

An amazing Alex/Charlie moment when she tells him her mother is terminal.

An amazing Dawn/Zach moment at the end. I thought Zach was leaving but... YES!

I like how characters are never pure black and white and based on this ep I believe Thomas will redeem himself.

The moment in the OR with Dawn and Cassie .... yes...

This is why I love this show.

Only weird thing for me is how Alex's mom got creutzfeldt jakob- I thought one gets it from eating brains of animals with this disease (it's like mad cow)... horrible illness.

OK, just read that there is a spontaneous version of CJD... poor Martha, and poor poor Alex... talk about being cursed....

Really liked it too, feels like it could be a turning point with Charlie/Alex and the hospital.

Zach was awesome in his scene with Thomas, but I agree it was nice to get a bit of a story behind him. And then great to see Dawn ready to fight for Zach and the ER.

Not quite ready to forgive Alex for her recent behavior, but at least she owned up. I know she must have been very distracted (certainly feel for her situation) which is why she was impatient during the trial. Charlie to the rescue again...'You don't need anyone. You're enough.'

Well that was a lot better than other episodes... lots to digest...
