Observing: Royal Pain "Playing Doctor"




This week's episode of "Royal Pains" takes Hank on one of his best times as he finds the new him.

When a hot actor comes to the ER for a deep cut on his arm, Evan referred him to Hank. After watching how Hank treats the cut and asking him so many questions, he asked if he could follow Hank for observing for a role that he's doing.

Hank agreed and well, let's just say that a lot of the patients (mostly the women) were amazed to watch him. But later on Hank does learn a bit from the actor, that would be visiting his mother's grave for the first time in 25 years.

In the meantime, Evan hopes that people would be moved by his weekly video blog. As soon as he posted it, everyone very  much enjoyed it. But when Hank see it, they both understood why everyone was proud of him. He accidentally had his test results pop up on the page when the video is playing.

You know for a second there when hearing everyone telling Evan about the video, I thought it was that they saw Evan and Page going at it.

As for Divya, she's fighting for custody of her child after the online news and photos show how an unfit mother she is. When she visits a patient who ask for a blood test and gives her the sample. She literally told him that she can't take it and either that she can take the blood sample in person or she informs his refusal.

The patient agreed and was happy with the results. It was to help make a decision on whether or not he and this lady would get married. Apparently his father setting up an arrange marriage. That's where Divya helps him by telling him to stand up and refuse. Of course, he did and thanked her for it, by which she did the same thing to the father of her child on the phone.

At the end of this episode it was a real heartwarming moment when Hank finally got to visit his mother;s grave for the first time since she passed. He did tell that actor that she pushed him for so long that after she died he's still trying to get her approval.

It was a real brotherly moment right there.

I found this episode hilarious and well heart warming that came near the end. I loved how Hank deals with the actor following him around. There were some scenes that felt a bit predictable but the episode didn't suffer that bad from it.

I give this episode 8/10 it was good.

You can catch "Royal Pains Tuesday night at 10/9c on USA Network.
