Season One Episode Five – He Ain’t Heavy

This episode starts out at a church. A wedding scene shows a couple at the altar repeating their veils. When it’s time for the bride to say hers she passes out. Everyone panics and call for 911.

Amy is having a session with Gina, who wants to see how much more she remembers if Amy goes back to the scene of the accident. Gina wants Amy to go to the house she shared with Michael to see if it triggers anything. Amy asked Gina if she had any men in her life over the past eight years. Gina says not that she knew of.

Sonya is asking Jake why Amy hasn’t discovered that they had a relationship yet. Jake says he is not going to tell her. Sonya looks at him concerned. Why is she so concerned about that. Sonya is so jealous.

 Amy is shadowing Sonya for the day. Sonya is giving her the cold shoulder. Amy is trying to figure out what she did to Sonia. Jake tells Amy in the past she has told Sonya she shouldn’t be a doctor. Jake gives Amy a coffee and she asked him how he knew what she liked. Jake made-up an excuse. He wants to tell her but not sure how she will take the news. Besides, she is still in love with Micheal.

Kayla, who fell, is in the hospital, and Jake is trying to understand her condition. She confesses to taking Xanax for her wedding nerves. Tyler, the groom, is upset and believes Kayla’s use of drugs means she doesn’t want to marry him. Kayla insists she only took a few pills.

Amy enters the room where Sonya is treating a boy named Sam. Sam is in the hospital preparing for a stem cell transplant to help his older brother, Leo, who is sick. He has had several transplants before to support Leo’s health but is now facing complications from his current treatments. Their mother encourages Sam to stay focused so he can have the transplant, while Leo feels guilty about Sam’s suffering. The father believes Amy is judging their situation. Amy assures him she is not. Leo wants to talk to Sam alone to check on him, and Sam tells Leo he can handle it, but Leo doubts him and wants Sam to stop the treatments.

Flashback. Nora comes home to tell Michael she is pregnant. He tries to look surprised, but it seems he isn’t happy. He had mentioned he thought she couldn’t have children, and Nora says it’s a surprise for her too. Did Michael marry her thinking she couldn’t have kids? It feels like he doesn’t want more, especially after what happened to Danny. Anyway, Michael, you’re going to be a dad again. Get use to it.

Michael goes to Gina’s office to tell her Nora is having a baby boy and Nora wants him to tell Amy. He is asking Gina for advice. Gina tells him to let Amy know soon. Amy is trying to get over the fact that she is not still married to Michael and he has remarried. And a baby will really upset her. I bet Gina does not want this to set back Amy’s progress. She’s going to find out eventually. Might as well go ahead and tell her.

Jake comes to Gina’s door as Michael is leaving. Jake is there to ask Gina to do a psych consult on his patient, Kayla. Jake is worried Kayla may have some issues. Later, Gina gives Jake an update after talking to Kayla.

Richard is meeting Sam’s parents because Sonya asked him to. Sonya tells Amy that Sam is scared and they have different opinions. Amy checks on Leo and expresses concern for Sam. Sonya suggests they find a different donor. Sonya and Amy disagree again.

Jake plans to run more tests on Kayla, as Tyler also wants more tests. Jake suspects she has a lesion since her blood pressure won’t decrease, and he is unsure of what is wrong.

Parents are in the room to assure Sam that everything will be okay. Leo states he won’t do the transplant, and the parents believe Sonya influenced him. They want Sonya taken off the case. Amy suggests talking to them.

Kayla has an MRI, which shows she needs surgery but there are risks. Jake presents her with options and advises her to go through with the surgery. It feels like she has no choice, as her life is at stake. Kayla agrees to the surgery.

 Jake goes back to Gina’s office and tells her that he and Amy were seeing each other seriously. Jake tells Gina that they were together 5 months before the accident. Jake wants to tell Amy. Gina is concerned that Jake should wait.

Amy talks to the parents and wants to speak with Leo. Michael discusses with Sonya how she upset the parents and mentions Sam not doing the transplant. He tells her she should have considered another option, and it will be investigated. Amy informs Leo that his parents are trying to save him, causing Leo to go into shock. Despite a nurse telling her Leo signed a DNR, the parents yell at Amy to save him, so she continues, and Leo is stabilized.

Flashback. Michael is telling Nora. She’s not sure if he can do it again. The baby may not have his heart, Nora convinces Michael everything will be fine.

 Sonia comes to tell Amy that Leo has signed a DNR that night before. That this is his way of getting everyone to listen to him. The parents come to Amy and thank her for saving Leo, but Amy is instructed to go to see Michael. Gina is there. They convinced Amy she is on her last warning before they must let her go. The board members are not happy, including Richard. Parents decided not to go through with the transplant, they will look for another donor. Leo is happy and Sam is relieved.

 A wedding ceremony is done before the surgery. Jake comes to tell everyone that Kaley pulls through the surgery. This is another reason for them to celebrate and Tyler looks relieved.

Amy sees Sonya in the hallway and tells her she was sorry about saying Sonya should not be a doctor. Sonya smiles and thanks Amy. Richard comes up when Amy leaves and tells Sonya that if Amy gets out of the line again to tell him. Sonya agrees. Richard is so sneaky. And Sonya should be ashamed of herself.

Jake is in the office eating cake when Amy comes in. He gives her some and she starts to talk about the cake she had at her wedding to Michael. Jake just smiles as she talks. Maybe it’s a good thing he did not tell Amy about the two of them. And I don’t think she would believe him anyway.

Flashback. Michael comes in the house and gives Nora flowers to apologize for the way he acted. Michael then says he’s there for her.

Michael goes to Amy’s apartment. When she opens the door tells her that Nora is having a baby. Amy asks how far along is she. Michael says she’s six months. Amy says that she had already known that and Michael says yes. Amy ask Micheal what did she say when he told her before. Michael said Amy said “good luck”. Then Amy is quiet, then again says it in a nicer way. “Good luck” Michael leaves and Amy closes he door. Michael turns around like he is headed back to Amy’s door, but he changes his mind and walks down the hall.

Michael is in a very hard place since he still has feelings for Amy. He also loves his wife, I think. I’m not sure now because Amy looks at him like it was eight years ago and I think he misses that. They say time heals all wounds but I’m not sure Michael ever got over Amy. I could be wrong but he looks sad all the time or just too serious. Amy is trying to move on too but without her memories, she doesn’t know what to do. Hopefully, she will start remembering things soon. Good episode.

Sonya tells Lena (Major Elliott) about her surgery results and the medications she will take. TJ enters Michael’s office and explains that Lena’s diagnosis is now clear. He mentions that Lena’s respiratory issues are due to the oxygen she was given for years and believes the doctors missed her condition.

Amy and Jake scan CeCe and find out she doesn’t have Alzheimer’s. Instead, her issues are from heart clots. CeCe is very happy. Richard smiles, although not genuinely, because Amy was correct.

Lena is on her way out and stops by to thank TJ for what he did on her behalf. Sonya comes up and thanks TJ for helping.

Michael reflects on his nightmare and Amy’s question about not checking Danny’s pulse. He asks Max for a favor to get into the museum after hours. Michael takes Amy to the museum and explains what happened. He breaks down in tears, and Amy comforts him.

Amy is going through a lot in the few days she had her accident. What I can say is that she is cool as a cucumber. She is not lashing out at anyone but seeing where she fits in.

Season One Episode One – If at First You Don’t Succeed . . .

I came across this show on Netflix after moving past it several times. I’m glad I decided to take a chance and watch it.

Amy Larson is Chief of Internal Medicine at Westside Hospital. Amy doesn’t seem to be the most liked person at the hospital but everyone says she is the best. Amy seems to be very strict and want her doctors to know how to treat patients. What’s wrong with that.

A new pregnant patient comes and suffering from a infections she thinks. Amy is called in by Dr. Jake Heller and Dr. Sonya Maitra is also there. Amy comes in to exam the patient who knows what is wrong with her. Amy tells the patient to let the doctors figure out what is wrong with her. The husband of the patient states that Amy has poor bedside manners. Amy continues to exam the patient and orders labs.

Amy sees Dr. Richard Milier in the hallway. Amy ask Richard about a patient that died in Richard’s care and questions him about the procedures he performed. Richard gets very defensive and Amy wants him to tell her what really happened. Richard does not say much and Amy says she ordered an autopsy report.

Amy comes across Dr. TJ Coleman at the nurses station and reprimands him for giving his patient and the family false hope when he knows that person is sick. TJ says he would go take care of it.

Back in the pregnant patient’s room, Jake and Sonya are checking her vitals and she goes into shock and has a seizure. Jake goes to tell Amy what happened and that she is stable now. Jake confirms that more test had been ordered and it would take an hour to get the results. Jake and Amy go to the parking deck and get into her car and start messing around. Jake gets a call that the labs are back and they leave the car. Before leaving Jake lets Amy know he loves her and she responds back at she loves him. Wow! I didn’t see that coming. They don’t look like they are good match at all.

Amy is still trying to figure out what is wrong with the pregnant patient. Amy goes to the nurses station to schedule more test but Nurse Julie is leaving and does not want to take the orders. Amy gets angry with her. Dr. Gina Walker comes in to save the situation and distracts Amy.

Down the hall comes Dr. Michael Hamda. Gina sees him and walks the other way leaving Amy to talk to him. Michael gets on Amy about all the bad customer surveys Amy has been getting and that she needs to do better. Amy says she doesn’t care about the surveys and that she is a good doctor. Michael tells Amy it matters and tells her to go home and get some rest.

Amy is in her car going home. It’s raining very hard as she is singing to music. Amy gets a text on her phone and gets distracted only for a few minutes. Amy looks back and sees is that she is about to hit a truck head on and swerves her car. Her car flips over and Amy hits her head on the window.

Amy goes into emergency surgery. When she wakes up, she didn’t remember she was in a car accident. Amy ask how her family is. Gina tells her they are fine. Amy thinks they were in the car with her, but Gina tells her she was in the car alone. Amy does not believe her and starts hyperventilating. She is given medicine to calm her down. Gina is concerned and takes Amy down to get an MRI. Gina is asking Amy questions and the answers are not from the current year. Gina then realizes Amy has a gap in her memory.

Gina goes to tell Michael about Amy’s condition. Jake watches with concern, and Gina asks him to join the other staff for a meeting. Michael informs Richard that he has been chosen as Interim Chief. Richard suppresses his excitement in front of Michael, but we can tell he is thrilled. There’s something about Richard that makes me uneasy. What is he hiding?

Gina give Amy an update on her condition. and that she has lost eight years of her memory. Amy ask to see her family. Gina brings Michael in first. Amy looks at him with love and hugs him. Michael looks concerned. Amy senses something is wrong and Micheal tells her they have been divorced for four years. Then her daughter, Katie comes in. The last memory Amy has of Katie was when she was nine years old. Amy is amazed at how beautiful Katie is. Next, Amy ask for her son, Danny. They all look sad at Amy and tell her that Danny had died seven years ago. Amy is devastated. So Micheal was Amy’s husband and works at the same hospital as her. I bet that is interesting.

Michael calls a meeting with the staff to give them an update on Amy. Michael explains that Amy has lost eigth years of her life and will be recovering for a while. Michael announces that Richard will be the Interim Chief. Everyone is in shock, especially Jake. Jake knows that Amy will not remember the relationship they had. Maybe that’s a good thing. So far, I don’t like him for her.

Amy trying to deal with her memory lost tells Gina it may be better she does not remember because of everything she lost including Michael and Danny. Gina reminds her of the successes she had accomplished during those years. Amy ask Gina what happened to Danny. Gina says he as on a school trip and his heart gave out. Amy then ask Gina if that was why she is no longer with Michael. Gina says she needs to ask Michael who can give her the details.

Amy is moved to a patient room the same floor she worked on. Michael is hoping it will trigger her memory. Everyone stares as she passes them in the hallway.

Jake is taking the news hard. Sonya comes outside to check on him. Jake tells Sonya that he and Amy were together. Sonya is shocked and ask why he didn’t tell her. Jack says that no one knew because she is the chief.

Katie and Michael are sitting in the cafeteria. Katie is concerned about Amy and nervous to let her know she no longer lives the her mom. Michael is trying to calm Katie down and says they need to take it one day at a time.

A few of the nurses and doctors are behind the nurses station gossiping about Amy and making jokes. TJ comes in and says they need to be ashamed of themselves. They all look guilty. TJ walks away.

Amy is sad thinking about all the years she can’t remember. And she is grieving the lost of her son, Danny. She falls the the floor crying and Jake hears her. Jake comes in to help her to her bed. Jake is so hurt she cannot remember the relationship they had.

Richard goes to his new office, Amy’s office. Amy’s things are still in there. Richard calls his wife to let her know he made cheif and she sounds so excited for him and says he deserves it.

Jake is still trying to figure out what’s wrong with the pregnant patient, Phylicia. Dr Peter Douglas performed the procedure that Amy had just suggested before she had her accident. There are complications with the procedure because Phylicia’s blood pressure was dropping. Peter wants to stop but Jake tells him to keep going. Phylicia has a seizure and they have to stop the procedure. Peter then blames Jake for not wanting to stop. Sonya gets Phylicia stable again before leaving the room.

Michael comes to see Amy and tells her she should be resting. Amy is just guessing that Michael moved on and she just threw herself into her work. Amy then ask Michael what happened between them. Michael is not ready to talk about it yet.

Micheal is called in to go over what happened with Phylicia. Richard tries to blame Amy for ordering the test that almost killed her. Jake takes up for Amy. Peter comes in the room with the results of the test and it turns out Amy did the right thing ordering the test. Now they have to convince Phylicia to have the surgery she needs; but she refuses because of the earlier incident. Michael goes with Peter to talk to Phylicia and her husband. Phylicia has the surgery and it was a success.

TJ goes to see Amy. Amy is so happy to see him and ask if he works at the hospital now. TJ says he is an intern all because of her. Amy asks if she was rough on him and he smiles. TJ says he would not be where he is now if it wasn’t for her. Okay, there is some history there. Maybe she was his mentor before.

Gina come in Amy’s room and tries to have a pep talk with her. Amy talks to Gina about Michael. Gina tells Amy this is her chance to do things differently and that most people don’t get that chance. Gina seems like a good friend.

Sonya finds Jack and he is mad at her for reporting Amy about how she talked to Phylicia when she first came in. Sonya thinks she did the right thing. Amy is at the nurses station when Phylicia comes by. Phylicia asks what happened to Amy and she says she was in an accident. Phylicia thanks Amy for her help and that she is the reason she is still alive. Amy has no idea what Phylicia is talking about.

Amy goes back to her room to call Michael. She asked him if he can help her continue to be a doctor. Michael says he would try. Michael hangs up the phone looking sad. In walks a pregnant woman who must be his wife. I knew he was hiding something from Amy. He looked so guilty every time he was around Amy. Just tell her Michael. Might as well keep ripping the bandaids off.

This was a great episode and I’m pleased that is moving along at a good pace. Amy just wants her life back and will do everything she can to make that happen. I ain’t made at her. What are you thoughts? What do you think of the first episode?
