Titled: “White Butterflies”
For instance, April and Ethan. What the hell was that? They spent the entire episode disagreeing about a patient, but when I saw him leaning in when they were talking up on the roof, I just stared at the TV in shock.
When did they become a possibility of a thing? Where was I? Granted, April backed away and nothing really happened – except a very awkward moment – but it still opened the door to something.
And in hindsight, the signs leading up to this were all there; I just hadn’t noticed them. They have been having an awful lot of scenes together, Ethan has been sort of mentoring her brother and they work well together.
But still, having them go from being a good team to potential romantic interests? It was a little bit of a stretch for me.
Of course, the case they had been dealing with was incredibly hard and tragic and heartbreaking, so they were both in a vulnerable, emotional state, so maybe we can chalk it up to that.
The patient they were treating had been in a car accident and had several fractures on his left side, plus a subdural hematoma.
The thing is, he had ALS, which was advancing rapidly, so by the time his fractures healed and he had the chance to go through rehab, he would be stuck in a wheelchair and not functioning on his own. So even though Dr Choi advised him to do the surgery to fix the bleed in his brain, he refused.
So April and Ethan argued the entire episode about this, because even though it was the patient’s choice to refuse medical treatment, going along with this was basically assisted suicide, because the patient would inevitably die.
So I understand why that moment on the roof might have happened. They were both vulnerable and still reeling from the patient’s death. It may turn out to be nothing, but I really don’t think it was.
