The Episode Review
Sadly, Asher was right, Perez is not ready to be in a relationship. He needs help and I hope that Allen will be there for him. He will need all the support he can find to get through this. Addiction is a disease and it is sad how this incident might affect Perez’s career as a doctor.
Lea and Shaun are excited to be parents, but their journey to being parents won’t be easy.
After learning about Lim’s engagement, I’m not sure this is a good idea. We will have to see what her answer will be after her surgery. What do you think?
