Due mostly to Holiday busyness and only a little to my supreme laziness there will not be full recaps for a few episodes, but please enjoy my bullet point thoughts on this episode of New Amsterdam in lieu of a full write up!

  • LOL let’s all take a moment to imagine Ryan Eggold with a panda tattoo
  • Lauren needs to take a serious break
  • Floyd does seem like the kind of guy who loves his birthday which is adorable
  • Yay! Dr. Kapoor is having coffee with his son!
    • GO TO HIS CHIP CEREMONY!
  • I love this cancer patient but I don’t love what his case is making Max think about his own cancer
  • Oh good an overbearing mother
    • Oh man…that is rough
    • HOW DID SHE SURVIVE?!
    • Sheesh…what a terrible pattern of behavior “The F Train disease”
  • I need more information about Dora
  • Looks like Amy and her mom both need therapy
  • Also looks like Lauren needs a legit night of sleep and about 100% less adderall
  • I love how long it took Max to realize he’s a bad patient
    • “Cancer changes everything and nothing at all”
  • Time for a fun game of which patient is Lauren going to end up killing?!
  • Does Evie not know that Lauren was sleeping with Floyd?
  • I would kill to be able to go to therapy and I hate that there’s such a stigma around it
  • OH man, don’t blame Max for this – he was vulnerable for the first time in his life
  • This billing chick is pretty great
  • PASS OUT LAUREN!
    • She needs a suspension like ASAP
  • Please tell me Floyd’s going to sing a power ballad
  • YAY! He came to the chip ceremony!
  • Something tells me Evie is on her way out of this relationship with Floyd now
  • Max is doing a clinical trial instead? I hope his gamble pays off like the Rabbi
