Code Black Season 1 Episode 16 "Hail Mary" Review


Christa becomes insecure in her new relationship with Neal when his ex-girlfriend, Dr. Grace Adams, returns to Angels Memorial after spending a year volunteering in Haiti. Also, New York Giants Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. comes to the ER to convince his stubborn high school football coach, Pete Delaney, to have life-saving surgery.

This was a really great episode after all the drama that went on in the last episode, but there were a few points in the episode that got a little annoying. The main annoyance was Dr. Adams with how she just brought this poor dying girl into the ER and expected basically everyone to drop everything and help this little girl because she is their friend. I just feel like if the character had worked with them as long as they state that she would have known that that is not how their ER works and she might have tried something else. This is especially true with how Dr. Adams just assumed that Neal would fall right back into her arms and help after they had broken up around a year ago before she left. And with that, I'm confused what Neals actual position is in the hospital because his took the position to become a full surgeon to be able to help this little girl, but then you also saw him still running around and helping at the ER, so which is it. All the moments with Beckham Jr. and his coach were really sad, but they also felt a little awkward to me. I loved how Leanne went from a very professional head of the ER in how she dressed and acted and the beginning of this episode to have her put back on her scrubs by the end. I also really loved the scene where Malaya was freaking out over someone dying under her care and how it all seemed very similar to Angus in the first episode, but that being said I wish Angus might have been there to calm her down much like Malaya did in the first episode. But still it was a great moment to again show how capable Mike is in teaching and helping all of them. Overall this was a really great episode that was a fairly enjoyable watch.
