What’s going on with everybody at Bronx Common? Tonight’s episode of Sensible Minds faucets into the Halloween spirit and brings us one of many creepiest episodes but.
The episode kicks off with Charlie taking the group out to a haunted home as a kind of group constructing initiative. Ericka says she doesn’t like them due to the narrative that they indicate in relation to psychological well being. Truthfully, I by no means considered it like that however she has a degree. Most haunted homes have individuals who have “gone mad” or are locked in padded rooms – which is supposed to be scary, however like Ericka mentioned, it makes it more durable for folks to return and ask for assist.

Whereas coming into the haunted home, everybody received separated at one level and Ericka discovered herself in a room that resembled an elevator malfunctioning. That is in all probability the proper place for it to occur as a result of when she got here out wanting scared, Jacob didn’t actually put it collectively why she was scared. She nonetheless isn’t over the occasions that occurred at her outdated constructing.
Sam, a frequent flyer on the hospital, is again and Ericka, nicely, she simply can’t assist however need to be there for him. He’s hesitant at first however finally warms as much as her. As she’s speaking to him, she convinces him to remain for a 48-hour maintain simply so he may get the assistance that he wants. They take the elevator to the psych flooring and this scene rapidly turns into chaotic. Sam doesn’t do nicely in closed areas, he hears voices that inform him that he’s in peril (although he’s not) and this causes him to spiral. Alternatively, Ericka is introduced again to that day she was trapped within the elevator of her constructing after the collapse and he or she herself begins to spiral as nicely.

As soon as the entire ordeal was over, Jacob discovered her sitting in a nook. Sufficient was sufficient – she confided in Jacob about her concern for the reason that constructing collapse and the way she’s been self-medicating. She admits that she takes meds each day to get by way of the day and thinks she’s turning into an addict. In occasions like these, I really feel like everybody in Ericka’s place wants a Jacob of their lives. He tells her from a physician’s perspective, she ought to wean off the meds she’s taking, and as a buddy, she ought to get some assist.
I believed when she went to Carol, this was the beginning of her getting the assistance she wanted, however no this was for Sam. Ericka introduces Sam to Carol and I believe he could also be getting nearer to having a breakthrough. He’s letting Ericka and Carol assist him. I’m certain Carol is completely happy to assist Sam since meaning she wouldn’t must see that clown once more. Think about getting paged for a psych analysis and there’s a person dressed as a creepy clown – completely not!

Cyrus and his assistant Thomas was an attention-grabbing case. Cyrus got here in with no heartbeat, chilly to the contact with EMTs able to pronounce him lifeless. Jacob had them proceed compressions and heat him up due to course, a physique can’t be pronounced except it’s a heat physique. When Oliver is available in to advise, Cyrus wakes up. Yay! He’s alive, however how? He’s… for lack of higher terminology, on the market in relation to maintaining wholesome. He even transfuses Thomas’ blood to remain younger and wholesome.
When Oliver asks him why he’s doing all of this, Cyrus tells him that he was identified with breast most cancers, and when he was in remission he felt misplaced. With a second probability at life, he determined to stay it as wholesome as doable. What’s ironic is the way in which he went about being wholesome is what was responsible for him sick. Cyrus suffers one other seizure which makes Oliver order scans. They confirmed a mass, however solely a biopsy can decide what it’s precisely and also you guys, this man had a parasite in his mind from ingesting “fountain of youth” water.

What was actually trippy about this episode was the imaginative and prescient of a girl Oliver stored seeing. Each time he went to attempt to make sense of it, it’s like he would snap again to actuality and he or she’d be gone. The lady he’s seeing was from the time Oliver was a Junior Resident. This girl had a grade three tumor in her left frontal lobe and it wasn’t a matter of if however when she would die. The lady was decided to stay and Oliver labored together with her up till the top. He felt as if fairly than serving to her, he prolonged her loss of life. May this be why she’s haunting him? If that’s the case, why now? This isn’t even the creepy a part of this; when Charlie was on the brink of head out, he noticed the girl too! Coincidence? I believe not.
Oliver and Carol leaving in Halloween costumes introduced the most important smile on my face, however what actually offered it for me was Oliver carrying the Spock costume (enjoyable truth: Zachary Quinto, who performs Oliver Wolf, performed Spock in Star Trek)
The episode ends with Oliver again in confinement (a thriller now we have but to unravel), however this time he will get a customer– Charlie. Oliver seems to be lower than happy to see him and I must know what’s taking place.
Regardless of the creepiness, I totally loved tonight’s episode. Let me know your ideas beneath or join with me on X/Twitter @chenfordhugs
