Previously on The Resident Season 5 Episode 7, a new group of interns start their first day with Devon at Chastain. Kit and Bell try to convince Conrad to come back to Chastain. The Raptor’s mother ends up back in the ER. Leela and Padma deal with an unexpected visit from their parents.

On The Resident Season 5 Episode 8, Dr. Voss hired Dr. Desoto, an expert surgical coach, to come to the hospital to help improve Dr. Bell and Dr. Austin’s skills. Desoto sat the duo down and notated a video of their work, they felt it was textbook surgery. However. Desoto nitpicked things they took for granted and offered many optimizations.

Efficiency

Voss consoled Bell on Desoto’s advice. It got to him so he went to practice some of her techniques, and to his surprise, they were more efficient. Meanwhile, Austin wrote several rebuttals to Desoto’s recommendations yet she stifled his crusade to reconsider her advice.

Voss attempted to have a word with Desoto about Bell yet the conversation didn’t bode well as Desoto felt Bell would ask Voss to intervene. Desoto was adamant in her quest and stifled the CEO- even pointing out their relationship could complicate their work-life balance…

Dating Pool

Dr. Conrad Hawkins noticed the chatter of the women who thought he was attractive and wasn’t ready to date again. Dr. Billie Sutton encouraged him it’s been a few years and it’s okay for him to dabble back in the dating scene. She thought his daughter Gigi would appreciate it too. Conrad was appreciative of those words coming from Billie.

Teaching Old Dogs New Tricks

Suddenly, the ER received a trauma patient, Brent, who had a large piece of glass protruding from his stomach. Surprisingly, he felt fine but soon passed out as he had a rupture in this diaphragm.

Bell and Austin escorted Brent to surgery and Desoto joined to coach them. Bell used some of Desoto’s techniques to be more efficient. Austin took notice and he too started to use efficient tactics and felt refreshed.

Thereafter, Bell and Austin caught up with Desoto and thanked her for her coaching. She told them that she wouldn’t stay the full two-week tenure of coaching as they are well prepared. Ironically, Austin got a feel for new techniques and wanted to learn more from her- encouraging her to stay. She obliged his offer!

Broken Heart Syndrome

Dr. Sutton and Dr. Devon Pravesh worked a case of an elderly man, yet Devon yearned for data rather than the inconsistencies of the ER. Billie encouraged him to look into medical research.

Pravesh’s patient, Goerge, was stubborn and wanted to leave the hospital but Pravesh made a determination that he possibly could be suffering from early symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

Winston found Celeste had passed out and needed emergency help! They got the woman stable and Conrad came to speak with her. She confided with him (and Winston’s presence) how hard she has it tethered to George, taking care of him. She wished he would pass in his sleep to rid both their pains and struggles. Conrad gave her words of encouragement.

When Conrad got her test results back, Celeste had been suffering from broken heart syndrome. Billie thought the condition was a med school myth, yet Devon was well aware of its real existence. Her stress of caring for her husband was possibly killing her.

Conrad advised Celeste that she needed to recharge in order to be there for her husband. He recommended they hire a professional to care for him. George balked at the idea until Celeste stood up for herself and demanded he listens to the advice. George gave into the decision.

Moving Forward

After the case, Conrad encouraged Devon that it was never too late to go after his dreams. He took his proposal to Voss and wanted to shift to medical research for the hospital. She was on board with his decision!

Mariam had been caring for Gigi at the daycare and really bonded with the young girl. Conrad took notice of this and sought Billie’s approval and she said yes! So Conrad asked Mariam to join him and Gigi for the ice cream. Billie had a sad look of relief as they parted because Conrad could finally receive companionship beyond Nic…
