If you look at the situation with the Raptor ,Trevor and the police officer and looked the fact and the fact only what you see is the car is pulled over,the tail light is out,Trevor is slightly agitated about being stop, the Raptor asks Trevor to chill, the officer then asked them to step out of the car,Trevor become more annoyed by the situation, AJ ask to chill again, Trevor steps toward the officer and the officer pulls his weapon, falls and is hit by a scooter that flees the scene. We understand the shows position on how they feel about what happened but if we were the police officer and we had someone in a position of exitement or on the verge of excitement wouldn't you ask them to step out of the car to guarantee your own safety? He does not know if they have a gun or any other means to hurt him if the situation escalates. All he know is there is two people against one and an altercation is a possibility in any and all situations. My question is would you risk your safety in a potential heated situation with two people you didn't know just to allow two stay in the vehicle? Probability would suggest that things would be alright but is it worth the risk? I don't see the problem here. AJ said this was a DWB but his tail light was out. He acknowledged that to be true. Hello, that is a good stop. I know ,I was stop for tail light once and it wasn't a DWW. The point of all the scenes with Trevor and AJ was he tend to react before he thinks and that take him down the wrong path. I think that point was proven. Had he stayed cool things could have different but we will never know. Isn't that the Raptors point to stay cool and not create problem where there is none? This took up to much of the episode. There was other things going on that were much more interesting. It was a detour for a detour sake. They did this just to stir the pot. Don't let these people provoke you. Be like AJ and rise above but unlike AJ you"ll have all the facts right. One more thing props for bringing Jessica Lucus to the show. Bam baby! I still wish mina.was on the show too. Writers episode 3 was the best. Write like that not like this episode. You better than that. Remember to write about people not causes. It will serve you well.

Now What?

Warning: Spoilers
The Resident lost a key castmember, they lost several between Seasons 4 and 5, and yet it seems poised to be just fine moving forward. Solid episode here, but dial back on the unnecessary political stuff.

Another great episode!
Chartreuse114 October 2021
Poor Conrad being a single dad, past husband and still trying to find out what led up to the cause of Nic's car accident and death! Bell's mentor gives Leela a hard time in the OR and AJ and Trevor get pulled over by a white cop who has a major accident forcing AJ to save his life. More episodes of this caliber, please!!! Love The Resident!

AJ and Trevor
alltvlover22 July 2022
It's frustrating to see another storyline with the black vs. Blue. I know it's there, but it is still hard to see. However, my rating is not because of the storyline. It is because I am enjoying the mentor role that AJ has created with Trevor. As an aspiring foster parent, I love seeing these kind of support systems being built. I'm excited to see how they develop the relation.

DWB Storyline
gkangchs21 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I applaud the writers for writing the Trevor/Raptor storyline, because I saw--as an audience member who admittedly doesn't come across cops that often, and when I do, as a young, Asian woman, it goes nothing like that-- that Trevor's behavior, as understandable as it is, wasn't justifiable and just adds a point to the cop's disgusting list of why Black people are more threatening in his eyes. It's never fair that the White cop's judgment of a young Black civilian was primarily based on the color of his skin, but Trevor made the situation MUCH worse. I got the sense that Raptor seems to have a lot more experience than Trevor does, so he knew the best way to come out unscathed was to appear non-threatening...which Trevor, naïve boy as he is, did not get.

Ignorant viewers want to give this episode just 1 star because they are blinded by their own lack of experience to such uncomfortable issues, and just don't see that there's a reason why these storylines are written in stuff they watch everyday: it ACTUALLY happens in real life, so what else would it take for you to see that? Turn off the TV as often as you want for the "liberal agenda" or whatever you think the message is, but it won't erase the damage that's constantly being done on the streets. This is why I respect shows like "Grey's Anatomy" and "The Resident". Just because it feels like a religious sermon or political lecture doesn't mean the message isn't important. Listen and learn. That's what Trevor did.

And here comes the racism....
insightpr-1730417 April 2024
I have absolutely loved this show for the first three seasons. So far in season 4, two of the 4 episodes are about racism. This episode makes it look like we are still living in the era of MLK. In this episode, one storyline has a lunatic white man in the ER who refuses to be treated my anyone who is brown or black. This is SO unrealistic, especially in a place with the demographic make up of Atlanta. The other storyline is about Austin and Mina on a road trip and they just happen to end up in a town that literally treats them like they would have been treated in the 1960s...refusing to serve them because they're black. I made it through the first 10 minutes.

This is so sad because this show actually draws attention to much of what is wrong with our healthcare system and I liked that. But if it's now going to become all about the evil white people, I'm DONE.

Sad but still one of the better episodes
Lillykin2 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
As many have said, Trevor was definitely at fault for the officer pulling out his gun and getting hit. He's an arrogant fool. Yes the officer profiled but two wrongs don't make a right.

I'm sad Emily Vancamp decided to leave. I think her reasoning was stupid and actors have to have some level of commitment. Actors should only leave when they're not effective. Why not kill her off when she was stabbed? They already knew she was leaving before the pregnancy storyline.

Anyway, at the end of all of Conrad's need to figure out a medical reason for the accident, Nic probably swerved to miss a deer.

I think the closure was good for Conrad to end the madness, which was not healthy for Gigi.

I'm officially done watching The Resident
lindstrom-5037424 October 2021
My first reaction when the police office got hit by the motorcycle was "that was Trevor's fault" and then I had to sit through the narrative of the show that the police officer was in the wrong! Every time the police stop ANYONE they don't know who it is and if that person is going to end up shooting them. If Trevor would have just kept his hands on the car it would have been straightened out in 5 minutes and they would have been on their way. I'm sick of Hollywood using their position to promote their politics. My solution is I will just stop watching any show that has a ridiculous story line like this did. Why doesn't anyone ever talk about the fact that a Black man in America is 1000% more likely to be killed by another Black man than to be killed by police? It's an epidemic nobody talks about and I'm sick of it. Why doesn't Hollywood do an episode about Black on Black gun violence?

Come on!
cyndorthalina13 October 2021
Seriously, the Trevor character was aggressive with the cop, if I were a cop & a black man was angrily talking (he looked like he was going to explode), and then turned to me, started to yell, refused to keep his hands on the vehicle, I'd pull my gun. The doctor told him to be calm, it was Trevor's fault. Where was that part of the story.

Shame
skycelqro8 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Is it a shame that a very good series suddenly includes a disastrous character, the abandoned son causes the policeman's accident due to his arrogant and arrogant attitude, and is he rewarded? I will never understand the bad habit of writers to praise the reckless, the rebellious who does not follow the rules... That young man should be in jail, in his first appearance he was cooking drugs and in this chapter he almost makes a policeman get killed, I like the series a lot, it's already bad that Nicolette leaves the cast, but if this resentful character is a constant in the series, I'll surely stop following her,
