S05.E02: Songbird

[Whimsy]

Quote

Doc and Cameron try to run the clinic together. Mel supports Ava through a personal dilemma. Jack confronts Charmaine. Brady seeks a second chance.

Original airdate 9/7/23

The annoying:

• Mel's face. The constant pouting and hmms when Jack isn't doing what she wants him to isn't cute.
• Mel and her one upmanship with Ava.
  • Ava -- won't be able to have kids if she has a hysterectomy. Mel makes it about her by informing Ava she's struggled with fertility issues. Not sure how being sick and having to have a hysterectomy is the same thing as having fertility issues Mel...
  • Ava -- I miss my mom at times like this. Mel I also lost my mother to cancer. I mean I get Mel was trying to show she understands Ava's pain, but it seems like another instance of Mel making it about her.
• Saint Mel.
  • Mel's such a saint that she forgives Charmaine and convinces Jack to forgive Charmaine too.
  • Not only that Mel makes Jack understand how he was leading Charmaine on.
• Charmaine is kind enough to inform the viewers that what Mel and Jack have is special. If you have to have a character point out how amazing your main couple is that isn't good. 
• Mel telling Preacher what a catch he is. I was thinking yep he is. Why didn't you show any interest in him? Instead, you went for Jack the guy with so many issues. However, I like Preacher so I'm glad he wasn't stuck with pouty Mel. 
• Brady is dumb. Scary boss lady told him in no uncertain terms not to mess up, so Brady decides I'll leave new guy who I didn't even want brought on board in charge while I play hooky.
• Hope enough said.

Ava bugs me. Maybe it's the hat.

Thank you, Charmaine! I wasn't sure.

Why did Brady not go to the police right away when the fentanyl lady approached him? Am I forgetting something? I know that later they threatened Brie by throwing a rock thru her door, but I don't remember any threat before that. Heck, just get Brie out of there and THEN go to the police. 

The moment Jeb said he'd take the shift, I waved my hand and said, "Buh-bye, Jeb."
