Episode 6 begins with JD talking about work relationships, when he has a run in with Lily, and Dr. Parks. We then see Elliot’s new boyfriend Wes, and JD clearly has resentment towards him. A V.I.P named Mr. Walton gets admitted to the hospital, and Asher is appointed tasked with being the slop boy.
We then get a potential issue with Blake, as Elliot tells Sam to watch Blake, since his patients keep being readmitted to the hospital. After Walton is checked out of the hospital, it doesn’t take long before he is readmitted, which leads to Parks theory that his wife is trying to kill him for his money.
After Turk has a discussion with Wes, he tells Elliot that he checks out for her, but she still isn’t sure about pursuing. Later, Elliot asks Sam if she found anything about Blake, but she says that he was doing his job perfectly. Another one of his patients checks back in asking for a different doctor (who reveals that she did it because he’s handsome, and too embarrassed to tell him what her real problem was).
JD and Dr. Parks isolate Mr. Walton from his wife, and he starts to become stable once more. When JD and Dr. Parks talk with Ms. Walton, they figure out she was accidentally putting his medicines on the wrong spots of his body. Amara and Asher have a moment, a patient under Amara and Dashana is finally convinced to do a surgery by Turk. While hanging out with JD, Tod, Amara, and Dashana at a bar, Turk makes Amara and Dashana do small tasks for him to make up for messing up with the patient.
Still not something to look forward to much. While not as cringe as some of the earlier episodes of the season, it still isn’t really funny. Yeah, it’s surrealist humor, and that’s fine, nothing’s wrong with that humor, it’s just that this show still isn’t funny. The daydream sequence came back, and again, there’s just something about them that doesn’t sit well. The show still has problems with the pacing, where they jump from scene to scene too fast, and it’s still a bit jarring. Like said in a previous review, certain scenes feel like they’re in some kind of Tik Tok fast clip compilation, where it’s a quick 10-15 second scene, then it just jumps to the next scene that is equal or shorter in length (maybe slightly longer at max).
Rating: 6.5/10
