Spoilers para el Episodio 11: Un contagio azota al Hope-Z, la plantilla casi muere... y el coma de Charlie se hace más intenso

He moved! Charlie moved!
Now, I don’t really know what that means in the long term, but it wasn’t a seizure and he didn’t get the crazy contagion virus that took over Hope-Z, which is even better news.
He did, however, have that crazy electromagnetic contraption near his brain for way longer than he was supposed to, and in his dream state, things got a little crazy.
His flashbacks were strange – he wasn’t doing his usual hanging out with the dead and near-dead folks in Hope-Z, but ended up outside the hospital, with blood on his forehead and then in the backseat or a car with his dead parents. Except he couldn’t talk to them. Weird!
And then at the very end of the episode, he realized he had been in the car when his parents were in an accident – and he saw them die.
Whoa.
Hope-Z on lockdown
While Charlie was having his crazy parallel world experience, Hope-Z was contaminated with some sort of crazy virus that was killing people left, right and centre. There have never been that many deaths on the show yet this season and what was even scarier was when Joel, Alex and Victor were put in quarantine.
At first, Victor just seemed paranoid, assuming he had the virus after reading all of the symptoms on his phone, but when his fever started creeping up, it was clear that he had been infected.
Not my favourite scrub nurse!!
And the worst part about it was that he had just gotten into a huge fight with his boyfriend, neurosurgeon Shahir Hamza.
It was touch and go for a while, with Alex and Joel taking care of him, and thankfully, he was one of the few lucky ones who made it through the contagion. Whew!
Love was also contagious it seems...
Even with the contagion shutting down the hospital, there was plenty of relationship drama in this episode. Nothing happened with Joel and Kinney (in fact, I don’t even think they were ever in the same room!). He was cold and prickly to Maggie, calling her “Lin,” and brushing her off at any chance.
And then, of course, good guy Gavin showed up at all the right moments and was ever-gallant and sensitive to Maggie’s stress. (And that scene of them spooning on the narrow hospital bed was so sweet!)
I wanted to cheer when Maggie finally called Joel a terrible boyfriend at the end of the episode.
“I can do so much better than you,” she tells him. And he can only agree.
We finally got a glimpse into the inner-workings of the Shahir-and-Victor relationship as the ever-awkward neurosurgeon refused to introduce his boyfriend of nearly two years to his mom, not because he’s ashamed Victor’s a guy, but because he’s a nurse.
Yikes – that’s harsh!
But after the contagion scare that almost killed Victor, the two of them seemed to find a new level of understanding. I love those two together!
Joel kisses Alex (!!)
Maggie and Gavin were pretty chaste, though pretty flirty, and Shahir finally told Victor he loved him, but the Joel and Alex relationship stuff was next level.
They were in quarantine, when Alex called Joel out on cheating on Maggie, revealing that he had also cheated on her years ago. “It’s your pattern,” she called him out. “You take something really beautiful and you screw it up.”
And then she revealed that he had broken her heart all those years ago.
I’ve never seen Joel look so stunned. But he recovered by planting a big one on Alex.
Not his best move, really…and it resulted in her slapping him across the face.
Thank goodness the episode ended on a positive note, with the lock down lifted on Hope-Z and Alex’s discovery that not only did Charlie escape the contagion, but also had moved.
So he moved…what happens next?
