Love is love. But it also comes in a variety of forms.
On Code Black #1.6, it seemed like nobody was seeing eye to eye. While Jesse and Leanne had a tiff over differing perceptions of a patient, Cole and Rollie continued to stew in their inability to communicate with one another. Meanwhile, nothing was easy for Malaya this shift.
The police shooting and Leanne's relationship with the police officer clearly dominated the story of "In Extremis." The case kept getting more complicated as more patients were rolled in - not just medically difficult, but ethically.
The reveal that the shooting was a result of Tom's bad personal decisions, and the lack of resolution left me cold. The highlight of this plot was the discord between Jesse and Leanne over Tom's behavior, which gave us something new to chew on.
While Leanne struggled to do what she knew was right, Malaya's conflict was deciding which course was more right. She stuck to her guns in the end, standing up to Guthrie. Her speech to Victor's father was pitch perfect, acknowledging his feelings while asking him to reconsider.
I really liked the introduction of Malaya's ex, and can't wait to see where this story goes. I'm dying to find out more about their breakup since it seems like they both regret one another, and am admittedly curious about how Carla ended up pregnant.
That's not the only relationship that I look forward to getting fleshed out in the future. I think we just saw the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the problems between the doctors Guthrie.
I started out loving Rollie, and I still think that the character is underutilized as a teacher, because he generally gives great advice. But it's a completely different story with his son. He really doesn't know how to relate to Cole, even at a pretty basic level.
Telling someone that they need to just get over their (pretty justifiable) feelings of resentment towards you is just plain dumb. Seriously, has that ever, in the history of mankind, worked? No.
Not that Cole is blameless. He's certainly not the easiest person to work with, even if he is easy on the eyes. I was surprised at how he gave orders to Jesse, if only because he's not some cocky intern. His only excuse is being new to the hospital; maybe that was the standard at his old gig.
Despite all of his brusqueness with his co-workers, he did find it in himself to complement Neal (even if it was a little backhanded) on his surgical techniques. His question does have me wondering if we'll see Neal starting a trauma surgery program in the future.
