Welcome back to the Ride: The Night Shift "Recovery" & "Back at the Ranch"



"Recovery" (2/23/2015)


In the season premiere, TC has been suspended for his actions in the season finale, due to PTSD. To keep him busy, he's saving lives on his own time and we see him rescuing a kid who fell off a cliff.

He and another rescue worker try to get the kid up but when the kid stops breathing, TC has to do something then and there in mid air. Nothing but a something stuck in the throat and dislodging it would do.

Things have changed, Dr. Za is now in charged of the ER and not Jordan. Drew is going throw some relationship stuff with his boyfriend since last season and Michael is going through some post surgery ideal.

The season opener started off great. It felt like it even though this was the second season that it felt like a pilot for someone that hasn't seen the series. The new surgeon, Joey, seems to be interesting to watch. Plus Jordan's triangle relationship between TC and Scott makes interesting television there, I would believe.


"Back at the Ranch" (3/2/2015)


When TC is officially back from been suspended, he takes care of a woman who gets shot accidentally by her husband, who thought was an animal getting it their yard. Apparently, TC couldn't save her and takes it very hard.

I know TC is a rebel and that he thinks that he needs to save everyone that comes through those doors but he really needs to know that death somethings comes and he can't do everything to save them. Jordan tells him at least.

Meanwhile, after last week quieting being the boss and wanting to be a doctor, Michael returns and becomes a physician's assistant and well from Dr. Za and other employees, he gets some much needed treatment.

I really enjoyed Michael getting some treatment after treating others pretty badly when he was a boss.

Some of the stories this episode was pretty interesting and some cases that I couldn't understand until they figured out. Who knew that if someone drank antifreeze that beer could help or that when someone comes in with a separated shoulder pops it back in and then walks and has a head injury that's caused from concussion from playing sport.

I did enjoy the moments that TC and Joey had, I felt it was something that TC needs to listen to from someone that has been there and well has beaten the things TC has seen.  This episode had some good moments that were funny and serious.

Next week's episode will deal with one single moment that can go wrong and that wrongfulness starts a chain reaction. Hell's breaking lose in the ER.

You can catch The Night Shift Monday nights at 10/9c on NBC.
