The Resident just keeps getting better and better!

Cain is in an accident and requires surgery, Chastain may be sold, Nic and Conrad wait for certainty on her pregnancy, and Mina and AJ continue their dl relationship. They really manage to compress an awful lot in an hour's time!

Cain provided a great villain for this show so I am not sure if this move made sense. Nevertheless, an episode with some desperately needed drama.

Better and worse at the same time

Good parts: there isn't any annoying political message in this episode.

That said, the episode stretches believability. Cain rescues a woman from a flaming car wreck, and then - on the same road - gets hit by a car, because he wasn't paying attention. This happens concurrently with a pending lawsuit.

The car didn't slow, didn't rubber neck to look at a Flaming Wreck; it just plowed right over the character we needed to take out.

When he is brought into the ER, he is conscious, and is given a quick exam by Conrad. Conrad declares: patient''s grip strength is 5 out of 5 and equal across bilateral (basically some medical mumbo jumbo for "he can close his hands."). Five seconds later, Cain gets a CAT scan, and his interior monologue decries his inability to touch his fingers. Massive continuity error that would have been fixed with a quick cut in the edit room.

Finally, Cain gets operated on, and there is a complication....because his interns decide to start without the Lead Surgeon.

The episode is a constant barrage of unbelievable disasters happening to the least likeable character on the show.

Other B plots happen, but they are somewhat dull by comparison.
