The word mask makes Amy think about Simone. Amy goes back to the hospital to look for Jake to tell him her theory. Jake says Grace refuses to talk to them. Somehow, they convince Grace to let Simone have the surgery. The surgery was a success and they wake for Simone to wake up.

Amy calls Katie and wants to apologize for anything she has said or done to her. Amy says she will always be there for her. To me, Katie seems like a brat. Now she could have reasons for acting this way and I guess we will found out later. Right now, she is not one of my favorite people.

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. Not all people would be that calm. Not sure I would be as calm as her. How are you feeling about the entire situation? Would you be calm?

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?

Anna states that if the students showed up late, the doors were always locked so they had to find a way to get in the building. Priya also ask Anna to look at the yearbook and show her pictures of her friends. She points out Rachel, Helen and Zoe.

Anna goes in the house behind Richard and looks around feeling uneasy. She’s asking all kinds of questions. Richard goes into another room. Anna starts looking around and comes across pictures on the wall. Anna sees pictures of Catherine. Then she looks closer and sees that it’s Lexy.

Could you imagine being trapped in a house knowing you need to found your way out of there. See, that’s why you do not get in cars with someone you don’t know very well. She better go in the run, hide, fight mode.

Anna says she got a call from Helen to meet her at the school that morning. Anna says when she gets there, she finds Helen dead. After speaking to Priya, Jack questions Anna and tells her not to leave. Does he really think Anna is going to listen to him.

Priya and Jack are looking around Helen’s office. They see Anna and Richard outside talking. Jack ask Priya if she got the report back on Richard. Priya says Richard was arrested for assault; he broke a woman’s jaw. Jack goes outside to look for Anna but she is gone. He ask Richard where Anna went and they have a heated conversation. Jack walks away. Probably for the best.

Anna had gone outside to call Jim, who wants her to get a good story to use so that she can get her anchor seat back. Anna goes to the mayors office and convinces him to have a town hall meeting that evening.

Jack and Priya get to the morgue . The forehead of the body had the word LIAR written out in staples. Jack and Priya are sure that the killer is the same person. They found the same bracelet in the mouth of the victim. Where are all these bracelets coming from.

Jack goes home and goes through Zoe’s dresser to see if she has the same bracelet as the victims. He finds it in her dresser as Zoe walks in asking Jack why he is going through her things. Zoe goes on the say that Rachel made them. Jack then gets a call from his boss that he has to attend the town hall meeting. Jack is not happy because he does not want anything leaked out from the investigation.

Anna is in her room when she gets a voicemail from the police station who leaves a message that they were checking up on Alice from the night before. Anna goes to see her Alice. Anna tells Alice that when the story she is doing is over, Alice will have to move to Atlanta with her. Alice is not happy about the conversation. Anna sternly tells Alice that she will have to get her some help.

Back at the station, Priya calls to get an update on the phone records for Rachel’s phone. She is told that Jack cancelled the request but Priya put in a new request. What is going on here. Did Jack not think she would not call to check on the request. He is getting sloppy.

The town hall meeting takes place and turns out to be a disaster. No one would listen to anyone and it became a big argument with everyone pushing each other. Anna gets this all on tape and Jim is happy with the results. This is what Anna needs to get her career started back up. Zoe runs into Anna after the meeting and accuses her of making it look like she had something to do with it. Anna tells her to go home because it was not safe out there. Zoe is scared and leaves.

Anna finally replies to the text that Jack had sent the day before. They agree to meet at a familiar location. When they get there, they have a heart to heart talk about why Anna left town. They end of having sex in Jack’s truck. Will this reunite them.

Lexy is on her way into town to meet with Clyde for an interview. At the end of the interview, Clyde puts out a 50,000 reward to find Rachel’s killer. Lexy is pleased with her accomplishment at getting ratings. Richard accuses her of trying to out shine Anna. Lexy tells him she can’t have what’s hers.

Priya looks through the yearbook she took from Helen’s office. She finds all kind of pictures of the group hanging out together. Then she notices that they were all wearing the same bracelet that was found on the victims.

I must say, Priya is doing more investigative work that Jack, who is so busy trying to cover his tracks. Priya may be the one to solve this investigation. I’m still not sure who the killer is. Maybe you have figured it out already.
