Well, that was pretty intense. Too bad they thought it's a good idea to leave us hanging in the air for a month and a half.
Watching this in the middle of a global pandemic just made it more dramatic. I am really worried about Dr. LIM.
Insane episode! Can't wait for january!
Well fuck I almost wish I didn't see this episode, I feel triggered having to wait so long for the next one.
Great we have to wait till mid January for the next episode :-|
Best episode so far. I really enjoyed it.
Wow...that was an action packed and emotional episode!
So what we have here in this episode is lot of my "favorite" medical show tropes. Honestly I'm surprised they didn't sneak "the patient who knows what the doctor is really going though" in there. But we do have another one that's equally frustrating. The patient who questions medical advice from doctors.
Medciene: We have another doner
Patient: How many markers does he have?
M: 5/8
P: That's not good my father (who is locked down under quarantine) had more. I can't go though all this again.
Like bruh you're literally on deathbed. Who refuses to take the chance with a doner.
It's not a medical show without a big huge event and in this two parter it's an unknown viral airborne pathogen that initiates a quarantine. I can't wait to hear how they explain how this happened. But never fear we have Doctor Shawn Murphy the worlds worst doctor on the case. A doctor with no tact and no ability to not say exactly what is on his mind no matter if the information should be spoken in front of patients or not. This week on difficulties only Shawn will face it's "light bulbs". The man is paralyzed by a light bulb that is buzzing. I want to believe that there's something going on with the light bulb and Shawn is just hyper aware of it and it's going to be key to why people are getting sick but by the end of the episode. Nah. Just Shawn being Shawn.

Holy Molly! Who directed this episode? Quentin Tarantino feat George R. Martin? are you even kidding me?
However, I have to say that was the best episode in a while, probably the best episode in the whole series. So stressful and unnerving, yet amazing at the same time.
I love that the writers idea of a "Christmas" episode is literally killing everyone, putting others at risk, leaving others in the balance, hating absolute sweethearts andleaving us hanging until January. But, hey, Merry Christmas, everybody! Yeah, everybody is going to die.
I knew the episode was going to be stressful. I mean, it's entitled "Quarantine", what the hell are you expecting? But killing one patient after another like that made me think about the characters plot armor. But none of them used it. Poor Dr Lim. If she dies I'll take into consideration leaving the show. I've loved her since the first minute she appeared. I love her sassy attitude and how she puts everyone in their place. I don't believe for a second the writers would kill her off right after introducing her and Melendez. The on-off relationship could be interesting.
However, I do think one of the major characters is gonna bite the dust. My money is on Park. Something about him has been off lately.
I loved how this episode changed Morgan and I wonder (if she survives) how she's gonna use her empathy now. I loved seeing her with the ambulance guy.
Freedie Highmore is a treasure. I don't think he gets enough credit for the amazing job he does. I love how they showed that skipping lunch and the buzzing lights can drive him crazy. Autistic people are normally fixed to a particular schedule and if they miss it, well, that happens.
I was expecting some good news and then Dr Glassman had to day that the tumor is back. That news hit me like a tone of bricks.
The last 4 minutes. Shaun is unable to do anything, Glassman's tumor is back, poor Santa in the operating table, that poor guy without his donor, and Lim, I don't even know.
