Rorish was leaving the hospital and the board was worried about who would replace her on tonight’s episode of “Code Black”.
Apparently under Rorish’s direction, the Residency Program at Angeles Memorial was considered to be second to none. And so she had become integral to their pristine reputation. But now that she’s leaving – they had to ask themselves who could fill her shoes as well as she does. And the answer the Board had come up with had actually surprised Rorish.
They had told Rorish that they wanted Mike Leighton to take over. Mike’s father who was a board member had brought the idea up after Rorish had personally hired Mike as an attendee to fill her empty spot in the emergency room. So he was using the fact that Mike must have had Rorish’s approval if she thought he could replace her as an attending.
Although Mike himself didn’t see it that way. His father had told him about the upcoming board meeting where he was sure to be voted in to replace Rorish as the new director of the program and Mike had told him that he didn’t want to get a job solely because of his dad. He then went on to say that he wanted to make his own way in the world and he would leave (again) if his father continues to push him.
And so the topic had been dropped with Mike. But Angus had wanted to find out what his brother had talked about with their dad. So he kept pushing and pushing until Mike finally gave up the details. And, well, Neil ended up hearing the end of their conversation.
The same Neil who has been acting as second in command to Rorish for years now. Therefore, he like Mike believed he should have been considered as Rorish’s replacement rather than Mike. Who by the way was getting the job because of his last name.
Yet, the men couldn’t fight about it. At least not at the hospital where they had to deal with an organized crime detective and two scions of the same mafia family. The Pertosians were brothers but then they had a disagreement over how to handle the business and so they went their separate ways. Though they continue to do their best to kill each other.
And on one such incidence, one of those brother had gotten into a shoot-out with his nephew. So whatever rules there was before – those are now gone and its open warfare between the brothers if one of their sons die.
Though Manny who was son to one Petrosian and nephew to another hadn’t wanted things to end like that. He and his cousin Kiran had befriended each other despite their fathers and so he had asked the doctors if he could help in any way. And they told him he could.
Kiran Pertosian needed a liver transplant and Manny proved to have the right blood type. So he offered to become a living donor to his cousin and thereby save his cousin’s life. But his father had refused to give permission. He said he didn’t want to risk his own son for his nephew.
So Manny had come up with a story that his father could buy. He said that by saying Kiran’s life, his uncle would then be in their debt and they would be in a position of strength. And so Manny’s father had allowed to go ahead with the surgery.
And following that Mike officially turned down the director job. He said it should go to Neal and that Rorish had taught him to speak up for himself.
However, Rorish had seen Mike in action and so did Neal. And thus they both saw for themselves that Mike could do the job. Which was good because Neal wasn’t that sure of himself anymore after an incident with Christa.
Christa and Neal had a patient with schizophrenia. And the patient had been in a nasty accident so his wife told the doctors that her husband wouldn’t want to be resuscitated. In fact she said that her husband had told her over and over again that he didn’t want to continue like he was.
So the wife gave them the permission not to do anything and that hadn’t sat well with Christa. And, honestly, she later crossed the line when she tried to resuscitate the man regardless of his wishes. But had to be pulled away by Neal who if he was honest himself would have seen how bad Christa was at handling this particular case.
And so when all was said and done. Neal ended up telling Mike that he believed the other man would be perfect for the job.
Though, elsewhere in the hospital, Malaya’s stalker came back. Gordon had been a young man she had treated for an injured hand. Yet he became fascinated with her after that and began following her around. Therefore, he later came back to the hospital and pretended to have a severe stomach ache.
Only, Malaya did find something wrong with him. She said he had blood in his urine and that the hospital needed to run more tests. And he had used that an excuse to follow her around the hospital because he had allegedly been worried about his condition.
But Perello had caught Gordon being creepy and she had told him that as a patient he didn’t get to do whatever he wanted. So Gordon believed she had forcibly separated him from Malaya and he then followed Perello into the changing room. Where he attacked her.
And unfortunately Perello wasn’t found until Christa finally made into room at the end of her shift.
Mario and Heather had almost made it back in time to come to her aid but he let a little thing like jealousy ruin the casual thing they had going. And so they didn’t head there like they would have for some alone time.
And somehow Perello paid for it.
THE END!
