Carter engages in competition with new surgical resident-in-training Dale Edson upon learning that residents will be evaluated and graded, with only the top ones advancing to second year. It doesn't help that Dale once had a relationship with Harper. Mark flirts with infomercial director Iris, and a hidden camera captures some private conversations. Benton faces the fallout from his altercation with Doug when surgeons begin dropping him from procedures. Shep begins exhibiting uncontrolled hostility, first to a patient being abusive with Carol, then a pedestrian. Susan and Chloe try to reach an agreement regarding Little Susie.moreless

And I did not even understand it ended...

6.1

"Fair"

By Parricida, Aug 30, 2007

Weird episode for me. When the end game, I was like - wow.. Have I really already watched it 45 minutes. It seemed to be slow but in the same time, the end got interesting.

I think mostly this one was to get some thing going. Benton finally mad ep his mind and decided to follow the call of his heart - do the right thing.

Green got the courage to think out of the box and see. And that video thing.. I think they can forever make fun of him and recording.

Also in Carter case, the fatal move was made. And I am sorry for him as he only wanted to care more about his patiences and I think she treated him quite badly. He did not deserve it.

And Carol - I think there will be some troubles ahead for her as she seems to see things about Shep she haven't seen so far.

Who else? Doug? What is going on with him? I think we will find out later.

Anyway, many new things and questions unanswered with chars. Much more to wait. Much more to see.moreless
