I really enjoyed the first episode and was anxiously looking forward to the next. Unfortunately, the second installment did not deliver. It was pretty boring and uneventful. The most ridiculous was the older lady with the "boob job" who wanted Patrick to "examine" her. I didn't quite get the point of this. To make Robin jealous? To show that Patrick has changed from his womanizing days because he turns her down? Or just to be titillating (pardon the pun)? It seemd kind of silly.
Other missteps: Epiphany's son Stan tries to get the hospital workers to strike for better wages. The problem is Stan doesn't work there, what does he care? So he dresses up like an orderly and tries to inspire some kind of revolution. I don't get it. And Toussaint comparing him to a modern day Martin Luther King, Jr. Ummm, NO!! Stan's just a punk and hooking up with Kelly in the shower was just another attempt to be outrageous but without bringing anything to the table.
Mrs. Storch. I felt sorry for her in the first episode, but quickly lost any sympathy for her when they portrayed her as an old lady in heat panting after young Jason and commenting on how the hospital is full of "hot" men.
Cody should be locked up. He attacked Lainey in the parking lot and she gives him drugs. HELLO, doesn't GH have a psych ward? The patient snafu. Leo almost does a bypass on a patient who need an appendecomy. He catches it in time but is blasted by Dr. Ford, who also blasts Regina for a clerical error that almost cost the patient his life. OK, I get that Dr. Ford is a pompous ass, but he does have a point -someone is to blame for this. Imagine you were that patient and everyone involved is saying, "It's not my fault." And the total lack of respect Leo gives Ford is unrealistic. As the newest addition to the hospital staff, I don't think Leo would last very long giving that attitude to his superiors - acting like he owns the joint and is God's gift to medicine, who's actually doing the hospital a favor since he really wants to be a rock star. Sure, just don't give up your day job.
The Spinelli thing was kind of lame. He shows his gratitude to Stone Cold by creating a violent video game in Jason's image. Yeah, why not give Jason something he actually wants, like a video of his newborn kid.
The only things I liked about this episode was Maxie's staph infection. Although it was brief, it played into her history of heart problems. Hopefully, they delve more into that in future episodes.
All in all, this episode was pretty uneventful. Hopefully future episodes turn this show around.moreless
