So this week's episode was rather good, if not slightly controversial (well to some people anyway). It mainly focused again on the young transplant patient who featured in last week's episode. This week her condition deteriorated so much that it was a matter of life and death! As it turned out it just so happened that in the hospital was a young girl of the same age who was classed as 'brain dead' and who carried a donor card; low and behold the 'dead' girl was a match to the transplant patient. The controversy lay in the fact that whilst the mother of the dead girl initially gave her consent to the transplant she then changed her mind but Mo carried on with the operation regardless; that and the fact that the donor family met with the transplant family in the hospital which in real life would never happen!
Meanwhile, the Mary-Claire/Harry/Gemma 'love triangle' finally ran it's course (at least I hope it has!) Whilst the Harry/Mary-Claire scenes had a slight comedic touch to begin with - writing acronyms on patient notes, having a laugh at a patient who came in with a screwdriver in his chest - I did end up feeling rather sorry for Mary-Claire when, whilst Harry was in theatre operating on said screwdriver patient, she overheard him discussing her with the new anesthetist (more of him in next week's review) and Harry was rather scathing when he said that she wasn't the type of girl you'd take home to your mother. Ooops!!! The look of hurt on her face was enough to feel some compassion for the girl although it would have been nice if the writers had written it that Harry manned up and dumped her face to face, rather than not saying anything to her at all. I think this is meant to be the way Harry is, flitting from one girl to the next, not caring who he hurts, but somehow, I don't actually feel this is in Harry's character.
So that's basically my review of this week's episode, now let's see what you all think.......
