S02:E11 - En Bloc

A young boy and his father have driven all the way from Winnipeg to Hope Zion to ask Alex to operate on the boy’s extremely advanced and highly malignant tumour. Alex is determined to help them, but the other surgeons are hesitant to perform such a dangerous and seemingly unrealistic operation. Alex is unwilling to give up, and rallies the troops to attempt the impossible. While Alex focuses on her surgery, Charlie is distracted by the spirit of Alex’s brother, Luke, who can’t move on until Alex lets go of Luke – and Charlie lets go of Alex. Meanwhile, Joel struggles with the many challenges of being Chief of Surgery – and between fighting with Shahir over a controversial Parkinson’s study, trying to keep the budget in check, and arguing with Alex over her dangerous surgery, he has his hands full.
