I used to enjoy this show, I think it was for the most part season 1 & 2, then it started going to shit, at least in my opinion. I am wanting to enjoy it, but it is missing what it originally had. I will continue to try and watch this season and see if it gets any better but I enjoy "The Resident" much more at least at this point.
Looks like Trakt.tv has the name of this episode reversed with S04E03. This episode is called "We're In This Together". I just informed Trakt.tv so it should get fixed.
I just loved Laurens answer to privilege (And they actually used it correctly for once - although I'm asking myself how someone who was able to afford medical school in the US and got a spot which you seemingly can only get if someone bribes a person for you can't afford an iPad - I don't know about US universities, but you can't get through the german ones if you don't have your own computer these days, so having to share digital books seems weird).
But in general:
Isn't it weird, that if you help family (in the figurative not the literal sense) you are giving them "an unfair advantage" but if you don't you're considered a stone-cold bitch/ass?
Regarding Max and Helen:
Can the Show be renamed and follow them?
Seems actually more interesting than the non-characters we'd be left with.
Lauren is interesting but the character can't hold the show on her own, I've skipped over most of Iggy's scenes from the start since they are boring, Floyd was unlikeable since he told Lauren that he couldn't be with her because she is white (which is just as disgusting as telling someone you can't be with them because they are black and your family will only accept white spouses).
They will need some really good stories for the new medical director if they want to keep the show relevant.

Boooring!!
I agree with most of what Marc's already said. But: Helen and Max are just boring. Sorry, but their appeal was the will they/won't they routine. Now that they're together, there isn't much left to tell about these characters.
What's missing is interesting medical riddles, handling patients which was once a strength of this show. But it all gets bogged down by Iggy's issues (which are the most boring of all), by Floyd's love triangle, by Lauren's relationship issues. And let's not mention all those manager-decisions... o no, we can't close down the ICU, we'll rather staff it with people who haven't worked in an ICU for a long time or not at all etc. That's negligent at best (especially since it doesn't solve the underlying issue of a lack of competent doctors for the ICU).
I still like this show, but some kind of upheavel is needed to make it interesting again.
