I’ve liked the messy complication of Pierce’s patient so far (Piece should’ve immediately referred her out but to me, the fact that she didn’t makes her come off as sympathetic & real, rather than vindictive, which I appreciate) though the busted windows take things to slightly melodramatic place. I want to see some more nuance to the situation while showcasing out the fallout though.

Wolf was pretty cute with his multiple messages to Josh (and a brand new smartphone? Being rich certainly is convenient) but it seems Van and Ericka are over before they can really begin. And just as I started to like them. I also don’t look forward to the inevitable romance between Ericka and the jock. They have zero chemistry & the actor is extremely wooden; I usually don’t notice it mind subpar acting but here it sticks out a lot.  

The case was a bit dull but I felt for the patient’s predicament. I don’t even watch black and white films if I can help it. Seeing the world in monochrome (especially as an artist) would be miserable.

I don't like that actor either. I hope he and Ericka don't get together. Ugh.

I thought the story with the painter was interesting. I could be devastating for painter to become colorblind. I was hoping he'd find a way to paint using black & white, so that made me happy. I liked that actor, too.

I got a little confused. Last week I thought Pierce's patient knew the doctor was the wife of the man she had an affair with. But then during most of this ep I thought I was wrong. But with how it ended, it seems that she did know it all along.

I think she definitely knew because she said how she had looked her up and knew she didn't have the same last name as her husband. She was pretending not to know to mess with her, I guess. 

I thought the intern should have known not to tell a patient the doctor had been talking about her and helping track her down.

Confused. How did the glasses help him?

I could be wrong, but I think they filtered out the light wavelengths that he couldn't distinguish (colors, to focus on the ones that he could see, black and white).

He had said that sometimes he couldn't really see things, like when there are headlights. I didn't think it had to do with colors but with tones. (Saying that, I'm not sure that make sense.)

Definitely. That intern was really bugging me this ep.

I don't think they described exactly what the glasses did, but if the problem was glare from lilghts, polarized lenses help tremendously with that. Maybe the shades just filtered out the brightness? He seemed to see amazingly well in the dim light vs the daylight.

Thanks all for the insight.  Because I got that he still couldn’t see color with the glasses but these comments make sense.

For a moment I thought they might be these glasses for color blind people but those are for people with red-green color blindness, not those with complete color blindness like the artist in this episode.
