Saving Hope

Charlie (Michael Shanks) and Manny (Jared Joseph) treat two love birds who have been having an annual weekend-long love fest for years, despite the fact that she – Claudia (Laura Jean Chorestecki) – is married. Her husband arrives at the hospital and she is presented with a problem: she loves both men but in very different ways. Her husband is stable, steadfast, while her lover is passionate and exciting. Charlie talks to her Spirit and convinces her to be honest with her husband – maybe he can be both for her. Meanwhile, Charlie assigns Maggie (Julia Taylor Ross) to evaluate the interns, bringing out her nurturing nature and causing Billy (Greg Calderone) to ask Maggie to be his mentor. Dawn (Michelle Nolden) fights to bring out her nurturing side, on Zach’s (Benjamin Ayres) counsel, with the “kill them with kindness” approach to bidding to get back the Chief of Surgery position. Both Maggie and Dawn’s natural states are put at odds when they work together to treat a single dad who got a ninja star lodged in his neck, and deal with his worrywart young son who seems to be more of the adult in the relationship.
