The season finale was full of destruction as a re-routed category 4 Hurricane suddenly hits the hospital broadside. Since there is only an interim medical director incapable of making decisions and all other department heads refuse Bloom's requests, Iggy takes charge with lots of spot-on help by Gladys. Individual dramas abound during the crisis, particularly one with Max and another with Lauren. Periodic crises are confronted and resolved in an interesting and satisfactory manner.
Meanwhile, Reynolds continues his mission to connect with his father (Insightfully and strongly played by James McDaniel). In fact, their scenes were easily the best in this episode.
It is after normal power is restored and everyone is safe that the script runs amok far more destructively than the hurricane. It seemed like a cheeky idea one misanthropic writer had over lunch and everyone else thought it was cool. Whatever the reasoning, the series' fans will remember and most will revile this episode not for its first 30+ minutes of crisis-themed entertainment but for the cop-outs and feeble explanations that follow.
