While moonlighting at a long-term care facility, Devon and Nic make a shocking discovery about a former patient who fell victim to Cain’s manipulative practices.

Meanwhile, after jumping into a new opportunity as a TV doctor, Bell is left without any surgeries and The Raptor brings him in to help on an important case.



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.

‘The Flash’ Season 6 Episode 14 Recap: “Death of the Speed Force”

The Flash Season 6 Episode 14

“Lately I’ve been sensing there is something wrong with the Speed Force,” says Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale) to Barry (Grant Gustin) on his return to Central City in season six episode 14 of The CW’s The Flash.

Episode 14 begins with an exciting scene of a helicopter crashing over Central City. Kid Flash returns to pick up the mantle and use his speedster powers to not only save the passengers and pilot but to dismantle the helicopter while it’s crashing so that the pieces harmlessly land on the ground. Welcome back, Kid Flash! The reunion happens, of course, at S.T.A.R. Labs where a party’s thrown for Wally by Team Flash.

In the Mirror Dimension, Eva (Efrat Dor) uses her meta powers so Iris (Candice Patton) can watch the party. Iris comments on how happy Wally looks and wishes she could be with all of them. Eva overdoes it with her powers and her hand starts to shake. Mirror Iris’ hands begin to shake as well and she spills champagne all over. At just that moment Cisco (Carlos Valdes) returns from his travels to chronicle and categorize all the new metas and changes since Crisis. Everyone welcomes him home with open arms and warm hugs, and the partying continues.

When the party finally breaks up, everyone heads out and Barry and Wally use their speed powers to clean up. Barry has a “hiccup” with his powers and trips and falls to the ground. Wally asks him about it and Barry claims it’s nothing.

Wally confesses he’s sensing something is wrong with the Speed Force and that’s the real reason he came home – to talk to him about it. He asks when was the last time Barry spoke to the Speed Force and Barry admits he can’t remember. He assures Wally nothing is wrong.

The same meta who attacked the helicopter attacks the woman passenger who was saved by Kid Flash and uses her powers to kill her by aging her up. Later, Barry and Joe (Jesse L. Martin) investigate the killing with the help of Cisco and discover this new meta has the same powers as The Turtle in season two. In fact, Cisco has her in his new metahuman enemies book already. Her name…are you ready?…is Turtle 2. (Not Cisco’s finest nickname work.)

At S.T.A.R. Labs, Cisco’s working on a device that should hopefully neutralize the Turtle’s powers when Nash (Tom Cavanagh) arrives and welcomes him home. Nash quickly begins asking Cisco if he saw anyone on his travels from any other Earths. Cisco, starting to get annoyed, says all the other Earths don’t exist so no he didn’t. Nash pushes the question and they get into a yelling match. Nash storms off, almost walking into Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) who asks if she can help him. He quickly grunts out no as he walks on.

Wally meets up with Mirror Iris and she reveals that last fall before Crisis Barry and the Speed Force had an incident. Kamilla (Victoria Park) snaps a photo of the siblings with a new camera Cisco brought back with him. Mirror Iris demands Kamilla delete the photo right away, lying and saying she shouldn’t be taking photos of the staff of The Citizen. Wally leaves to go confront Barry.

Wally finds Barry in his CSI office and asks what happened between him and the Speed Force before Crisis. Barry confesses he ended up attacking the Speed Force due to Bloodwork’s mind games and now the Speed Force doesn’t want to talk to him. As they’re talking, lightning begins happening all around them and everything turns green.

Barry and Wally are in the Speed Force which has taken the look of Joe’s old house. Barry goes into his room and finds his mother/the Speed Force (Michelle Harrison) lying on his bed looking dreadful. She reveals the Speed Force is dying because of what he did. Barry and Wally are quickly removed out of the Speed Force and back to Barry’s CSI office. Wally loses it and starts yelling at Barry saying it’s all his fault and now it’s too late to fix the Speed Force.

Nash is about to go into Ralph’s office when he sees two red eyes in the distance that quickly race at him.

Barry uses Gideon to return to the Speed Force to see if he can save it from dying. He sees his mother again and he apologizes for attacking the Speed Force. She tells him that’s not why the Speed Force is dying. It’s because when he took Spectre’s power to become his full potential to help save the universe during Crisis it allowed a substance to enter the Speed Force and contaminated it. Barry apologizes and starts to cry, realizing he truly did kill the Speed Force. The Speed Force forgives him and confirms he did the right thing saving the universe.

Just before it dies, the Speed Force tells Barry choosing him was the best decision it ever made and that it loves him.

Wally visits his dad and explains what happened with the Speed Force. He again blames Barry and starts bad-mouthing him. Joe explains Barry will blame himself harder than he or anyone else ever could. Wally starts to regret what he said to Barry and Joe reminds him of how he was when he first met Joe, Iris, and Barry – that he was an angry, confused teenager who finally came into his own. Wally thanks Joe and goes to see Barry.

At S.T.A.R. Labs, Caitlin talks to Cisco about ignoring her and Nash. He admits that now he’s back, he feels like he’s back where he started. Caitlin tells him to go talk to Nash and she’ll take over creating Velocity 9 to stop Turtle 2.

Wally finds Barry and they apologize to each other and agree that Barry made the only call during Crisis that he could. Caitlin alerts them she’s located Turtle 2 and she’s right outside the CCPD.

Cisco visits Nash, starts to apologize, and asks him to help work on Velocity 9. He’s then immediately wary when he notices Nash has closed the door and is looking at him differently. “You’re not Nash,” says Cisco, just before Nash attacks him.

Nash tries to speed vibrate his hand to kill Cisco but can’t. Cisco realizes Eobard Thawne has taken over Nash but can’t use his powers while in Nash’s body. The two fight and Cisco headbutts Thawne while Thawne says he doesn’t need his powers to kill Cisco. Just as Thawne’s starting to win the fight, Cecile (Danielle Nicolet) tasers him and knocks him out. She was right next door at The Citizen and heard the fight.

Caitlin’s unable to wait for Cisco and gives Barry and Wally her concoction of the Velocity 9 to use against Turtle 2. The two speedsters team up and take her on just as she’s about to kill Joe using her time-slowing powers. The Flash is able to distract her and gives Joe the Velocity 9 to inject into her, which he does.

Later that night, Barry tells Mirror Iris about the death of the Speed Force. She says maybe it’s for the best and maybe he wasn’t meant to be The Flash forever. Cisco calls and says Barry needs to come to the pipeline to see something right away.

Wally heads out to leave on his next Peace Corps mission. Before he leaves, he asks Joe to keep an eye on Iris. Something about her seems off.

At S.T.A.R. Labs, Cisco and Barry confront Nash who’s now been taken over by Thawne and is locked up in the pipeline. Barry asks Thawne what he wants and Thawne replies, “What I always want, to kill you and I’m being patient. I can’t wait to slit your throat. When I do, when I get out…believe me, I will get out…I’m going to kill you, then I’m going to kill your family and then I’m going to kill your friends, starting with Nash.”

Barry assures Thawne he and his team will stop him, but Thawne says that in a few weeks Barry will be powerless because the Speed Force is dead. Barry’s surprised Thawne’s aware of that development. Thawne taunts Barry for trusting and believing in a pathetic force. “That’s why I built my own,” says the evil speedster. With an intense stare and evil tone, Thawne finishes with a threat. “I’m coming…I’m coming for you!”

A little later in the main cortex Barry brings Cisco and Caitlin up to speed about the Speed Force dying. Cisco and Caitlin suggest studying the Specter energy but Barry tells them he has a different plan. He points out that Thawne created the negative Speed Force so he wants to build an artificial Speed Force with their help.

The final scene of the episode shows Kamilla at The Citizen looking at the camera and finding the photo she took of Wally and Mirror Iris. It shows Mirror Iris as some sort of mirror entity. Mirror Iris surprises her and shoots Kamilla with the mirror gun.

The Flash Season 6 Episode 14 Review:

Emotional, intense, and moving, episode 14 titled “Death of the Speed Force” reveals the true fallout of what Barry and Spectre did during Crisis, saving the universe but destroying the Speed Force in the process. The episode also has an impressive opening action sequence with Kid Flash’s return saving the people on the helicopter and speed dismantling it.

There are many standout performances, but it’s Tom Cavanagh’s performance as Thawne – now in Nash’s body – that elevates the episode to the level of greatness that was the first season. The way he uses his voice and the looks he gives Barry and Cisco as he talks about killing everyone is truly chilling. It has always been the threat of Thawne (the show’s best villain) defeating and killing The Flash that has made the best storyline in the series.

With Wally, Joe, and Barry starting to notice Mirror Iris isn’t acting the way Iris would, it’s only a matter of time before they realize they have a dangerous stranger among them. Barry, Cisco, and Caitlin better work fast on creating the new Speed Force if they hope to stop Thawne from accomplishing his goal.

‘Manifest’ Season 2 Episode 9 Recap: “Airplane Bottles”

Manifest Season 2 Episode 9

“You know what happened to Flight 828?” asks Ben (Josh Dallas) to his son Cal (Jack Messina) after he’s had another calling in season two episode nine of NBC’s mystery drama, Manifest.

Episode nine begins with Cal dreaming of being on Flight 828 with his dad and Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh). He sees lightning out the window and a bright glowing white light. He whispers, “It’s all connected.”

Cal wakes from his dream breathing heavy and begins frantically looking around the house as a storm whips up outside.

Zeke (Matt Long) treats Michaela to a homemade breakfast in their apartment. They talk about maybe taking a year off and traveling if Dr. Saanvi Bahl (Parveen Kaur) is really able to create a cure for Zeke and save him from the death date.

Back at the Stone home, T.J. (Garrett Wareing) is staying over until he’s healed from the wounds he received during the nightclub fire. He and Olive (Luna Blaise) dig into the journal again trying to decipher its meaning. They’re committed to discovering more clues to surviving the death date.

Cal, meanwhile, struggles to try to build something he saw in his calling. He can’t quite remember what it was he saw and is getting more and more frustrated as the minutes pass by.

At the precinct, Michaela gets pulled into an Internal Affairs investigation regarding the information she gave Captain Bowers on Jared. Early on during the interview, it becomes clear the two detectives from Internal Affairs are trying to steer the investigation into Michaela and the nightclub fire instead of Jared. They ask questions about why she seems so determined to ruin the career of Jared – her former lover and partner – and how it appears she has a vendetta against him.

Realizing she’s the target of the investigation, Michaela asks for her union rep to be present.

Zeke shows up at Saanvi’s office to start treatment and he quickly realizes she’s wired and keeps repeating herself. After this goes on for a while, he tells her he thinks she’s in real trouble and asks if he can get a doctor to take a look at her. She initially says no but finally tells him she trusts her ex, Alex Bates (Sydney Morton). Zeke, seriously concerned about Saanvi’s mental health, Zeke heads to Alex’s office to seek help.

Back at the Stone home, the storm’s getting worse outside and Cal’s still struggling to build what he can’t quite remember from his calling. Ben offers to help and asks him to try hard to remember. Cal says it was like a spiderweb with a plane trapped in it.

T.J. and Olive continue to pour over the journal and figure out the author, Al-Zuras, thought the callings were a curse. They believed after fixing something a calling warned them about, something bad would happen to one of them. Al-Zuras and his men decided to set out to find a way to get rid of the callings.

At the precinct, Michaela’s union rep defends her from the two Internal Affairs detectives who seem determined to tie Michaela to the nightclub fire. Concurrently, Jared (J.R. Ramirez) speaks with Captain Bowers (Andrene Ward-Hammond). He’s worried about the investigation and how he could be implicated, but Bowers assures him she has his back.

Once more to the Stone home we go and there’s a lot going on. Olive asks about a Silver Dragon while T.J. has become convinced he shouldn’t have survived the fire and this latest calling could be because of him. Cal becomes more and more upset and frustrated over not being able to build what he can’t remember. Grace (Athena Karkanis) is feeling seasick and Ben is getting short-tempered. He warns everyone the storm’s getting to them and Olive, clearly puzzled, asks what he’s talking about. Ben and T.J. point to the big storm outside, but Olive proves to them it’s actually a sunny day.

Ben realizes the storm he, T.J., Grace, and Cal are seeing is a calling. Ben calls Michaela and leaves her a message asking if she’s experiencing the same calling.

Zeke’s able to convince Alex to check on Saanvi and she quickly figures out after doing a few tests that Saanvi’s dopamine level is off the charts. Alex gives Saanvi a shot that should help and that also puts her to sleep.

Meanwhile, Ben has T.J. and Olive continue deciphering the book. They discover Al-Zuras and his men started to go mad trying to get rid of the callings. Ben sees a flash of lightning in the dark sky and realizes his family is experiencing what Al-Zuras and his men went through.

Jared goes to see Simon White (Maury Ginsberg), upset about the Internal Affairs investigation. He claims he wouldn’t have given him and the Xers her files if he knew it was going to get him investigated. Simon tells him to relax, assuring him he has allies at the NYPD. Simon also tells Jared that passengers of Flight 828 can see the future and might even be able to manipulate it. “Michaela is a threat,” warns Simon.

It’s clear Internal Affairs is trying to tie Michaela to the nightclub fire, hinting that she might have caused it just so she could rush in and be a hero. Michaela strongly denies it and her union rep declares she’s being railroaded.

Michaela changes her mind and offers to answer all of Internal Affairs’ questions. Michaela indicates she’s willing to talk about everything Jared has done that’s not by the book. Her rep intervenes and says he wants the investigation to be moved downtown, hinting there are too many ears at this precinct. He also needs to give Jared, another detective he’s assigned to protect, a heads-up about the course the investigation has taken.

Back at the Stone house, Ben finally realizes what Cal’s trying to build; it’s the mast from the ship Al-Zuras and his men were on during the storm. As soon as they finish making it Ben, Cal, Grace, and T.J. experience another calling and find themselves on the ship. They look up in the stormy night sky and see flashes of lightning. They also discover the Silver Dragon in the sky referenced in the book is Flight 828. The calling ends and they find themselves back in the house with the sun now brightly shining outside.

Saanvi wakes up and apologizes to Alex for involving her in her work and for making her worry. She wants Alex to go back to her family. Alex tells Saanvi to take care of herself and to be safe.

At the precinct, Michaela and her union rep come out of the interrogation room and Jared recognizes the rep as an Xer member who’s friends with Simon. Bowers speaks to the two Internal Affairs detectives and learns the remainder of Michaela’s testimony will take place downtown. Jared realizes Michaela’s going to be killed en route to the neutral location. He intervenes and arrests Michaela on charges of arson, conspiracy to commit arson, and homicide. Michaela gets incredibly upset, yelling at Jared as he handcuffs her and takes her away.

Ben and T.J. talk and Ben has realized Al-Zuras was saying the only hope to survive is to follow the callings and that all other paths lead to disaster. Ben says Saanvi out loud as it dawns on him her search for a cure will put her in danger and could lead her to madness. T.J. and Ben also realize Saanvi is in the drawing of the crew onboard Al-Zuras’ boat.

Episode nine’s final scene is of Michaela swearing she’ll pay back Jared even if she has to tear down the entire precinct. Jared tells her to shut up as he puts her in a holding cell. As he locks the door he says, “I just saved your life!”
