In yesterday ’s sequence — “ In Case of Missed Communication ” — all the “ good ” people act so horrible and I hate them so much that it all comes full circle and I realise that I must be the slimy human being here . There ’s also about forty seconds of the trace , not one second of which is remotely integral to the plot .
As Mike walks out of the barren clinic grinning , an help read , “ Well , well , well , Scrooge found a grin , ” which intend it takes about ten seconds for this show to make me need to attack all its “ good ” grapheme with a bat . skinflint ! You call the bozo who volunteers his metre , has redeem I - don’t - know - how - many patients with his expertness , has personally paid to have the clinic ’s front wall rebuild , and has given out free surgeries and MRIs like lollipops . Scrooge . I depone , the only reason I would n’t go slasher on these hoi polloi is that Mike would save them , on his own dime bag , and the moment they popped back to life they ’d say something stunned and nasty to him again .
This episode rivet around a Thanksgiving dinner being hold at Clinica Sanando to honor the affectionately departed Anna Paul , that shiftless money - wasting screw - up who did n’t bother looking both ways before break away into the road . Meanwhile , Mike ’s personal helper Rita has a son , Leonard , who is plate ( softly wounded ) from Afghanistan . He ’s like a shot hit by a cable car . He ’s a sweet soldier who bed his mother , so I bonk the episode is going to make me detest him by the goal .
Thanksgiving at the clinic is reserve up by a dispossessed guy wire in respiratory suffering . They ’re so desperate to save him that they almost do n’t comment he has a “ Do Not Resuscitate ” trefoil alert bracelet . Then they marvel what to do , which , to me , seems obvious — contain get your hand make the squeezy - squeezy question and give the guy what he specifically requested .
Instead , they resolve to hire a private ambulance to take him to a hospital to be put on a breathing apparatus . All the hospitals are smarter than they are ( not surprising ) and reject to take him . So they do what they always do ; they call up Mike , act like complete assholes to him , and he comes to help them . He say them , reasonably reasonably , that he ca n’t do anything . When the affected role wakes up , they lie to him , telling him that they set up his alienated daughter and she want to talk to him . It ’s like they ’re trying to win Au laurel wreath for wildly irresponsible self - righteousness .
One of them , Zeke , prove himself the Michael Phelps of unethical behavior when he tracks the girl down , incur out that she ’s excited that her father made her female parent endure through extended cancer treatment when she was conk out , and lie to her , telling her that her father want to apologize . When the father and daughter satisfy , it conk about as well as can be ask . Zeke endanger them both until he can coerce handling on the father . In the end , they come up a way to process the guy so he ’ll live , and he reconciles with his girl , who suddenly forgives him .
Meanwhile , Leonard has a DNR that his female parent hid from both Mike and his father . This result in one fight , and then Mike heals him , and they ’re all a happy family .
So in summary : A Gifted Man made me need to murder the entire staff of a free clinic , bemock its dead film director , actively settle down for the lonely dying of a homeless human beings , and reflexively think that a bruise veteran was a bad somebody . Either this is the way people are brainwashed into get together craze , or I ’m just an awful human being . Happy Thanksgiving .
