Cynthia is making many mistakes and they lead into promising moments. Plus things are going up...

9.4

"Superb"

By Parricida, Oct 26, 2007

Really good and promising episode. First the Cynthia's mistakes really made me laugh - all those little things she took wrong.. that note she read.. I was really thinking - poor Mark. He has so much to explain later and I am sad Carol did not get that note.

I also adored the case with little boy - really moving. All those doctors so excited and planning to write articles and publish.. noone thought about that little boy. What he was going trough and later - about father's feeling. People with ambitions and who are up for their own good - they just did not see what Benton did.

Beautiful episode.moreless

- Anna: Have you considered medical management? Treat the abscess with a course of Flagyl and Cipro before jumping into surgery? Carter: I'm willing to give a shot. Anna: No, no, no, wait. Are you just agreeing with me because you think that's what I want to hear or do you really believe that? Carter: What? Anna: I just don't want you agreeing with me just to please me. Carter: Believe me, I'm not. I've already considered several alternatives to surgery. Henry: You have? Carter: Shut up, Henry!

Carol: The staff will be thrilled. You know, you haven't been too high on the popularity list lately. Mark: Yeah, I've been kind of a jerk. Carol: Worse. Mark: Pain in the ass? Carol: Keep going. Mark: Total schmuck. Carol: Bingo.

This mistake was repeated in most of the Season 4 episodes and in all of the Season 6 episodes.
