This short recap is on the two episode season finale of The Night Shift. In this two-part episode, the night shifters not only deal with chaos in the ER but also in personal relationships and even dealing with a deadly sniper that's targeting the Night Shifters.
In the first episode, "Sunrise, Sunset" Topher and TC are over in Afghanistan trying to save and treat a friend that needs a new heart. The task of course is one hell of a dangerous missions, but TC does everything to get Topher's friend even if he has to treat him in the line of fire.
In the meantime, Paul and Krista have a bit of a competition between one another when a call comes in about an car accident and needed two doctors. Jake and Paul out there and when Paul sees a victim stuck in car that on fire. Paul goes to do what TC does and well causes his hand to get burned very badly. So badly that he was recommend to treating patients in and out.
Jordan, who's pregnant, dealing with a lot of stuff on this shift, one of them being that TC is over seas and the other a patient, who's a dropout to take care of her brother, who's also not happy with her. Taking care of this family really pushed her to help one another. But after treating her, Jordan talked with Scott who just settle with a father and son after a mistake from previous episode.
But than as Jordan and Scott talk, Jordan collapse and that's what brings us to the next episode.
In the episode "Darkest Before Dawn" we jump just a couple of minutes after previous episode. Topher and TC are back with Topher's friend and TC is on the edge to get to Jordan.
Jordan was not responsive but was breathing fine. Scott tells TC that she had a stroke and that it might be the cause from the pregnancy. TC and Scott does everything they could to save both Jordan and the baby.
Meanwhile, Topher and Scott try to get his friend up to transplant to get his new heart but there's an issue, he was spiking a 101 temperature. They try to find what's wrong with him and turns out that it was an bacteria or infection but it was his blood that needed plasma.
What Topher had done, has probably cause his marriage to go on the rocks. His wife comes tot he hospital and gives it to him that she's sick and tired of this crap. But later even though she's still mad, she picked him up and they drove to their daughter's recital.
The big story line was of the sniper, Jake and Gwen are in the line of fire of where the cops are at and soon they got the guy. The shooter was crazy enough to do crazy things. He even mention that there was a second shooter and there was when Jake and Gwen was treating him on scene.
Ragosa and Paul got to treat this outside patient that came in because she was pushed out from a shelter and that she's homeless that lived in her car. But from what we thought she was at the beginning, she turns out to be the shocking second sniper. She tired to take a stab at an officer in the ER but that was stopped by Ragosa. But as soon as Ragosa and Paul realized who she really was, they found her in a pool of blood on the floor, stabbed herself. She was saved.
But as for TC and Jordan, it took a turn for the worst. We got to see flashbacks of when, where and how they met, their first date and the break up. TC got a bit of dose of reality here and even pulled out the ring that he was going to purpose.
Scott had performed surgery on Jordan after a turn for the worst. Scott saved Jordan but not the baby. TC was a mess and broke down. Jordan did wake up and TC held Jordan and talked. Jordan mentions that she overheard him talking about purposing. And after that he pulls out the box and shows her, he ask her and she says.....
Well, we'll have to wait til season three to find out.
I thought that overall this season had a mixture of more relationship stories and medical stories. It was a more balanced out than the first season. I really enjoyed this season.
There were some great performances from Jill Flnt and others. Some really good guest stars from Trace Adkins and even the First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden.
I can't wait to see what season three will bring. Hopefully there will be a yes at the beginning of the scene of he season opener. This is literally one of the first medical drama that I've enjoyed since the days of ER and House. But I shouldn't leave out Royal Pains too.
