The Series Plot, Courtesy of NBC:
“Inspired by the oldest public hospital in America, this unique medical drama follows the brilliant and charming Dr. Max Goodwin, the institution’s newest medical director who sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care. How can he help? Well, the doctors and staff have heard this before.
Not taking ‘no’ for an answer, Dr. Goodwin must disrupt the status quo and prove he will stop at nothing to breathe new life into this understaffed, underfunded and underappreciated hospital — the only one in the world capable of treating Ebola patients, prisoners from Rikers and the President of the United States under one roof — and return it to the glory that put it on the map.”

The cast of season three includes Matt Czuchry as Dr. Conrad Hawkins, Emily VanCamp as Nicolette “Nic” Nevin, Bruce Greenwood as Dr. Randolph Bell, and Manish Dayal as Dr. Devon Pravesh. Shaunette Renee Wilson plays Dr. Mina Okafor, Malcolm-Jamal Warner is Dr. AJ Austin, Jane Leeves is Dr. Kitt Voss, and Glenn Morshower is Marshall Winthrop. Morris Chestnut joins the cast as Dr. Barrett Cain.
“Doll E. Wood” Plot – A renowned pediatric surgeon is called over to Chastain for an extremely difficult surgery on a newborn, but when she arrives, The Raptor and Devon realize she is not fit for surgery, resulting in a situation more complicated than they could have imagined.
Meanwhile, a Dolly Parton drag queen is admitted to the ER after collapsing on stage, leading Bell and Ezra to a potentially life-saving discovery. Also, Nic and Conrad suspect their patient may be the victim of sex trafficking and Nadine delivers some surprising news to Devon.
The Season 3 Plot, Courtesy of Fox:
Entering its third season, The Resident continues to rip back the curtain and reveal the truth of what really happens, both good and bad, in hospitals across the country. The provocative medical drama follows a group of doctors at Chastain Memorial Hospital, as they face personal and professional challenges on a daily basis while fighting for their patients.
In season three, Red Rock Mountain Medical has taken over, inserting its own doctors – including new neurosurgeon Dr. Barrett Cain – and nurses into the well-oiled machine that was once Chastain Memorial Hospital, and causing the doctors to fight harder than ever against the corrupting influence of money in healthcare. The hospital is being run like a profit-hungry corporation – reaping huge financial gains, while risking the lives of its patients.
Dr. Randolph Bell is well-aware of the dangerous deal he has made with Red Rock in order to get Chastain out of its financial crisis and, as a result, initially turns a blind eye to the new corporate mantra of profits over patients. It’s not long before Dr. Conrad Hawkins incurs Red Rock’s fury when he confronts the problems head-on, becoming a whistleblower. The good fight he leads could ultimately threaten everything he holds dear, including his ability to practice medicine.
The Justice League of young healthcare providers must unite to fight for and with him, with Nicolette “Nic” Nevins in the lead. Nic attempts to recover from a devastating personal loss by throwing herself into patient care and her work for the uninsured through her clinic.
Dr. Devon Pravesh will find himself rotating out of the ER and gaining experience and power of his own in new positions within the hospital, eventually moving up to a first-year resident. Dr. AJ Austin will continue to bond with his mentee, the exceptionally talented surgeon, Dr. Mina Okafor. She’ll be his support as he navigates a relationship with his complicated biological family, while striving to maintain one with the parents who raised him. Okafor will be faced with a potential new family dynamic of her own, when her best friend, Adaku, who carries the BRCA breast cancer gene, returns pregnant with no father in the picture.
Meanwhile, the power and ruthlessness of new neurosurgeon Dr. Cain takes the hospital by storm. He embodies all the evil that can result when doctors care more for the bottom line than for their patients. Dr. Kitt Voss is the first to realize that his charm hides a medical demon, but standing against him could have serious consequences for her future. Cain’s ability to generate millions for Chastain leaves him free to exact swift revenge on those who oppose him – and no one is off-limits.
Sonoya Mizuno, Karl Glusman, and Jin Ha’s characters – Lily, Sergei, and Jamie – are engaged in a complicated love triangle in FX Network and Hulu’s limited series, Devs. During our roundtable interview at the New York Comic-Con, Glusman revealed something drastic happens early on to his character and that sets off a chain of events that play out over the eight-episode season of writer/director Alex Garland’s thought-provoking sci-fi drama.
“Lily’s looking for what happened to Sergei. At one point it’s clear that she needs help outside of the local authorities or the people at the company. She enlists the help of her ex-boyfriend to find her current boyfriend which creates a very awkward scene,” explained Glusman.
Jin Ha joked that maybe what they’re actually part of is a love tesseract. (Coincidentally, The Tesseract is the name of a novel by Alex Garland.) “We’re dealing with a difference of time and space sometimes,” teased Ha. “No, I think that’s absolutely right that it’s a love triangle. Also because even though he’s not physically present after the first episode, he is figuratively and thematically present the entire rest of the series because it’s in pursuit of finding out the truth behind Sergei’s disappearance that drives us. As the ex who’s begrudgingly…well, maybe not begrudgingly…but at first hesitant to help Lily, that’s an enormously heavy cloud that weighs on Jamie. For me, it’s like how much do I care about Lily more than the fact that I don’t care for Sergei – the man that’s taken over the role that I had emotionally?”
Asked how Alex Garland articulated the show’s bigger themes, Sonoya Mizuno replied, “The thing about Alex is he’s obviously incredibly smart, but he’s also so capable of explaining things really articulately which made it kind of easier for us to understand the complicated themes. But also, it’s in the writing. The themes maybe are high concept but it’s not like it’s really difficult to understand in the script because it’s so elegantly part of the story.”
“Also, at its core the piece is about relationships and loss and love,” offered Glusman. “Those are the things that I think most viewers will be able to attach themselves to, relate to. There’s still things I can’t wrap my head around while I was hanging around for seven months. But the relationships – that’s the stuff that affects me.”
Ha added, “I think the high concept themes or the subject matter is incredibly specific, is incredibly well researched and well written. I might be going out on a limb by saying this but ultimately it is the context in which stories about relationships takes place. I don’t think Alex is trying to necessarily teach the audience about this technology or this world of tech, it’s more just it is an incredibly thoroughly couched love story or a story about what motivates somebody or what fears people have. Just more human stories is couched very thoroughly in an incredibly complicated and almost esoteric universe of tech.”

Sonoya Mizuno previously starred in Alex Garland’s Ex Machina and Annihilation, and was happy to reunite with Garland for this ambitious miniseries. Discussing her character, Mizuno said she appreciated the fact Lily isn’t a typical protagonist. “She’s not sassy and badass…”
Both Glusman and Ha begged to differ with that assessment. “She’s pretty badass,” said Ha.
“I mean, she is but she’s not badass in the way that like she doesn’t wear a superhero cape,” explained Mizuno. “She’s brave and she’s resourceful. And, she’s reserved and very internal. We wanted it to feel like there’s kind of a mystery around her, which isn’t typical for a character like that because usually the audience is with them in their head the whole time. So, I was really excited to play something which felt different and felt like it was challenging what a female protagonist is.”
Ha admitted it took him a while to figure out his character, Jamie. “I had prepared as much as I could actually beforehand, before the start of rehearsals, before we started shooting. But frankly it was probably after the first quarter of shooting at which point I had this… I met with Alex one late night and we had had like an hour, hour and a half discussion about Jamie and how he fits into the world and the tone of the show. That conversation was kind of the first time I was like, ‘Oh, this is who this person is,’ because I had had an idea of the tone and the genre of this series without realizing that Alex had intentionally written Jamie as kind of a foil, emotionally.”
Glusman initially wasn’t sure what to make of Sergei. “I didn’t have much information and he was like some nerd on the page. But then I remember our chemistry read and then Alex told me a secret about my character that made it infinitely more exciting. I had no idea and I feel like I’m not allowed to say…”
Mizuno and Ha immediately agreed he couldn’t spill the beans on the particular little gem Alex Garland revealed that helped Glusman grasp Sergei.
To learn Glusman’s little secret, audiences will need to tune in and pay attention when Devs premieres on March 5, 2020 on Hulu.

“How about if we think of each bead as a memory of T.J. and we can share it with each other?” asks Ben (Josh Dallas) to his grieving daughter, Olive (Luna Blaise), as they get ready to share memories about T.J. (Garrett Wareing) and how much he meant to them in Manifest season two episode eight.
Episode eight begins with Ben experiencing a nightmare that places him back into the fire-ravaged nightclub where he hears T.J. but can’t get to him. Ben jolts awake in a cold sweat.
Later that morning, Ben’s colleague at the college, Simon White (Maury Ginsberg), pays his condolences about T.J. saying everyone at the college is grieving his death. Olive, who’s still devastated over T.J.’s death, says Simon is lying because the students and most of the instructors thought T.J. was strange since he was a Flight 828 survivor. Simon excuses himself and asks if he can use their bathroom while Ben and Grace (Athena Karkanis) try to comfort Olive.
Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) arrives and asks to speak with Ben in private, but Olive says if it’s news about T.J. she deserves to know. Michaela gives her T.J.’s bracelet which she got off a body too badly burned to be identified. Olive becomes hysterical and Ben, Grace, and Michaela try to comfort her.
A short while later, Simon holds a meeting of the Xers. He once again shares his opinion that passengers of 828 threaten their way of life. Jared (J.R. Ramirez) is in attendance and after the meeting he gives Simon a heads-up that some of the Xers might be interviewed about the nightclub fire. Simon thanks Jared for the warning and asks him to keep an eye on Billy who can be a bit of a hothead in the group.
Zeke (Matt Long) visits Dr. Saanvi Bahl (Parveen Kaur) and shows her the frostbite on his fingers isn’t healing. He’s afraid he’s going to freeze to death knowing he only has a few months left on his death date. Saanvi does some tests on Zeke and then reveals the test she did on herself and how it seemed to cure her of the callings.
Zeke wants to try the serum but Saanvi says she needs to do a workup on him first and run more tests.
At the precinct, Michaela’s partner Drea Mikami (Ellen Tamaki) tells her Jared was defending the Xers and she thinks he’s one of them. She suggests they tail him to get some answers.
Back at the Stone house, Ben confesses to Grace he’s afraid he has pushed Olive away. Grace warns him to just give her some space and time.
A little later Ben has a calling in which he hears chanting. He calls Michaela to tell her and learns she didn’t experience the same calling. He then fills Grace and Olive in on the calling. He suggests they go to the memorial site at the burned-out nightclub, but Olive says she’s not ready and doesn’t care about callings anymore since losing T.J.
Ben visits the makeshift memorial set up for the victims of the nightclub fire and experiences another chanting calling. He follows the noise and it leads him to a Zen Center that’s not far from the burned-out nightclub.

Jared heads to the bar where Billy (Carl Lundstedt) hangs out and lets him know he and Simon spoke. Simon suggests Billy needs to chill and not draw attention to the Xers. Billy gets upset Jared talked to Simon without him and tells him to watch it. Jared warns Billy his mouth is going to jam him up someday and walks off.
Billy’s sister, Tamara (Leah Gibson), runs after Jared after he leaves the bar and gives him a kiss. She makes excuses for Billy and wants to make sure they’re okay.
Michaela and Drea watch this go down from a car across the street. Michaela admits she’s a little upset to see Jared making out with someone else, but explains what’s really bothering her is that the bar’s not Jared’s kind of place to hang out. Drea decides she’ll go in and scope it out.
Drea lies to Tamara and says she’s looking to meet up with some guys. She then heads over to Billy and challenges him to a game of pool. Not long after Drea walks out and Billy follows while Michaela secretly takes photos of Billy and his friends.
Mission accomplished, Drea returns to the car and they head back to the precinct. Michaela and Drea run Billy’s photo through the database and find his rap sheet which includes vandalism and battery. Michaela’s surprised Jared is an Xer and that he stole her case files. Michaela calls the judge who let Zeke go and asks for a favor.
Shortly thereafter, Michaela returns to the bar and talks to Tamara about Jared. She warns her she should steer Jared clear of her kid brother if she really cares about him. Before she leaves, Michaela plants a bug in the bar. As soon as she leaves, Tamara calls someone.
Ben tells Olive the chanting led him to a Zen Center and she reveals T.J.’s mother was a Buddhist. Grace suggests the callings want Ben to carry Olive through her grief, so together father and daughter head back to the Zen Center.
In a very touching scene, Ben and Olive share memories of TJ. Olive recalls her first meeting with T.J. five and half years ago before he boarded Flight 828.
Saanvi goes to the park and sees her ex-lover Alex (Sydney Morton). She walks up to her, kisses her hard, and the two make out.
Back at the Zen Center, Ben hears the chanting again and follows it with Olive trailing right behind. It leads them to a staircase that descends into the cellar of the building. Once in the cellar, the chanting leads to an old steel door. Ben and Olive pry it open as the chanting increases in volume.
They find themselves in what Ben believes is an old prohibition tunnel. They continue on and the chanting, which had been getting louder, stops but now they both hear a faint voice begging for help. Ben and Olive call out and T.J.’s voice answers them. T.J. is alive!
Ben and Olive break through the crumbling wall to find a badly wounded T.J.
At the precinct, Michaela and Drea play the audio from the bar to the Captain. The audio clearly shows Billy threatening the passengers of 828. Michaela also tells the Captain about Jared’s friendship with Billy. The Captain assures Michaela she’ll handle it.
Once T.J.’s being treated at the hospital, he explains to Ben and Olive that Isaiah had ripped off his bracelet when they fought. The body Michaela found must have been Isaiah’s. Michaela arrives at the hospital after hearing the news on the police band and talks to Ben. Ben believes the callings are teaching them something.
Meanwhile at the precinct, the Captain meets with Jared in her office. She plays the audio for him and says, “You’ve got a problem.”
Alex visits Saanvi at her lab to break the news that what happened between them at the park was nice but she’s made her choice to stay with her husband and it can never happen again. Saanvi tells Alex she doesn’t know what she’s talking about and that she has no memory at all of what she did earlier today.
The last scene shows Michaela going home to her apartment. She tells Zeke that Jared betrayed her and without going into it she feels like maybe she deserves it. Zeke believes it’s because she has such a good heart. Michaela can tell something’s wrong with Zeke and she asks him what’s going on. He finally confesses about the frostbite but adds that Saanvi might have figured out a way to beat the death date.

Commenting on the big-screen adaptation, Branagh said, “Eoin Colfer created a landmark series of books and a totally original world of characters. We hope that fans familiar with this charismatic anti-hero, will also join a first-time cinema audience in enjoying a sea of surprises – cunning twists and turns in a typical Artemis Fowl style. His Irish adventures are breathless, exhilarating, energized escapades on a truly global scale. Inspired by his legendary cheekiness and wit, we’ve been privileged to introduce the myth from the page and hopefully create a new hero for the big screen. It’s been a real joy to be on that ride.”

The Plot:
Descended from a long line of criminal masterminds, 12-year-old genius Artemis Fowl finds himself in a battle of strength and cunning against a powerful, hidden race of fairies who may be behind his father’s disappearance.
Disney’s Artemis Fowl, based on the beloved book by Eoin Colfer, is a fantastical, spellbinding adventure that follows the journey of 12-year-old genius Artemis Fowl, a descendant of a long line of criminal masterminds, as he seeks to find his father who has mysteriously disappeared. With the help of his loyal protector Butler, Artemis sets out to find him, and in doing so uncovers an ancient, underground civilization—the amazingly advanced world of fairies.
Deducing that his father’s disappearance is somehow connected to the secretive, reclusive fairy world, cunning Artemis concocts a dangerous plan—so dangerous that he ultimately finds himself in a perilous war of wits with the all-powerful fairies.
