The Night Shift: (S03E06) "Hot in the City"

Posted by Adam Baker on

Review:

In the second episode of the double feature deals with the heat and relationships in a way….
 
The heat is on and so are the relationships with some of the characters from Kenny and the nurse, TC and Sanders, Jordan and Sam and Scott and TC’s sister. 
 
TC and Topher take a female patient that seems to suffer from heat exhaustion. But when TC sees a rash on her chest and does some more test, the diagnoses jumps to meningitis. But when her breathing becomes more and more of an issue and with one point she was having a heart attack too. 
 
As Topher and TC gathered their thoughts, TC recheck her and found sink pealing on her hands and strawberry looking tongue and came up with the diagnose it as an infection in the heart and has to be operated on.
 
Jordan and Shannon had her hands full as they were on their off day and out at a wrestling match. Jordan meets Victor and talked to her about his cousin, one of the masked wrestlers. But when a fight goes too far things fly around and it got crazy. Victor saves Jordan but gets hurt. And one of the ring ladies got injured too.
As they get to the hospital, Jordan and Shannon takes care of Victor as Drew takes the female who flew onto a chair and can’t feel her legs.
 

Victor became the second biggest medical mystery of the episode as things keep getting worse for him. At one point he’s was coughing blood and had to be rushed to the OR. There they took out a tumor from his liver but he kept getting worse after. Paul, Scott and Jordan tried to figure it out before Victor dies until Jordan figure it out that it was parasites from the pork that he had eaten a lot of in Mexico.
On the other hand with Drew, he had the difficult case out of all. First he promises the girl that she’ll walk again (big mistake!). After trying one thing that didn’t turn out to work, they had to go into surgery. With no spinal cord specialist coming Drew was the only one who had worked on the spinal cord back in Afghanistan.
Scott was a bit worried but Topher trusts Drew to do it. After they go in, things became difficult from the back of the patient. Drew takes the risk to another level as he performed the surgery from her mouth. Yes, you heard me correct, from the patient’s mouth. HOLY CRAP!!
The kicker for this episode was that as soon as Jordan and Shannon get to the ER, the air conditioner shuts off on the hottest day of the year.  The episode ends at least someone figuring out that one is dating someone. And Scott opens up to TC about dating his sister, which look awkward!! Jordan seems to break up with Sam and taking the dating world slow and social too. Looks like TC and Jordan are on good terms, but I think they’ll be back.
I thought that it was really really good as in this one brought the heat. When I mean heat I mean the medical problems for the characters to solve. Challenging for the characters for Jordan and TC but also challenging for us too. I felt like each character brought in a great performance. I can’t name a single person. It had great balance of humor and drama.
