The episode had a relatively weak storyline. The plot involving the man in the wheelchair would have been good if it hadn’t quickly devolved into just his relationship with his wife. The subplot with the implants didn’t interest me at all — I can’t stand people who keep getting surgeries and then complain about having the same facial expressions as Mickey Rourke.

A bit of a letdown. I added a third star solely for the excellent Dr. Park, who managed to stock the fridge with organs for practically every transplant department in no time. Seriously, who told that kid he was getting the liver of a seven-time murderer, and why? A child psychologist? The sentimental ending didn’t quite land for me either, so I’m giving this one 3*-.

This episode was much like the last one — standard fare without any added value to elevate it. I wasn’t thrilled with the introduction of the new character, Dr. Morgan Reznick, who fits the cliché of an arrogant, calculating bitch. Is this show really turning into a typical soap opera?

After two promising episodes, the series returned to its usual standard. Not terrible, but not great either. The focus was back on the relationships between the doctors, and I was once again reminded of how soap opera-like some of the characters feel.

The creators seamlessly continued the storyline from the previous episode. I have to commend them again for not turning the twelfth episode into an absolute tear-jerker. Despite the noticeable drop in humor, I still enjoyed it.

Both storylines had their moments, and I appreciate that the creators didn't overdo the emotional scenes with the conjoined twins. The road trip was funny from start to finish, so I’m giving it four stars.

Better than the previous episode, but I'm still annoyed by scenes that are completely detached from reality. The conversation with the janitor in the mop closet, for instance, was unrealistic — Shaun would more likely get a well-aimed punch rather than a life story in response to his questions. On the other hand, the VIP patient was very entertaining. Still, the show lacks that extra "something" to make it stand out from other medical dramas.

I just can’t connect with the storyline about the unfortunate African children. It just doesn’t resonate with me. The plot about the failing heart didn’t interest me, so I'm giving this episode two stars for the lost sample storyline.

I would’ve given an extra star if the Nazi had suffered a massive heart attack upon realizing he was being cared for by an Asian woman and an African American woman. It’s a shame Americans don't have the guts for edgier humor. That said, I appreciate how well the creators promoted apples — I love them too.

Significantly worse than the previous episode. The script tried to tug at my heartstrings again, but my cynical shell easily withstood the attempt. Glen's storyline was just endless emotional manipulation. However, I found it amusing that a surgical resident can spend the day in the basement or on the roof.
