Heavy Fog resulted in a massive pile-up on tonight’s episode of “Code Black”. And it was that same fog that was playing havoc on all the doctors responding to the scene.

A small team had to be sent into the field by Angeles Memorial Hospital and for one of their own it was bringing up some unfortunate memories. Rorish had lost her own family in a car crash and to this day she is still deeply grieving. However, as a doctor, it was her job to offer up the best medical assistance she could provide.

So what that meant was she had to ignore it when a grieving hospice nurse seemed familiar when the patient had railed at her for killing her date. Yet the truth of the situation had been that the date died on the scene and that there was nothing the doctors could do that could save him. And that despite being a nurse herself, she hadn’t detected a pulse. It had simply been her imagination.

And again Rorish was told if not commanded to forget it when a small boy had asked the doctors to help his mom if they saw her. But after watching someone else grieve, Rorish just couldn’t do it again. So she broke rank out in the field and went looking for a woman that had already been black-tagged.

Black-tagged was saved for people that were considered too far gone to help and there was more than one person who had been written off. However Rorish hadn’t been the only to ignore protocol, Angus had also come across someone that wasn’t expected to make it and Mario had even said to black-tag Kenny. Kenny was after all buried up to his neck in cement that was quickly drying but Angus and Heather didn’t want to give up hope.

So they went on to supply Kenny with saline as a way to keep him alive until they could figure out how to get him out of the car. And while they were doing that, Mario ended up finding another person that he should have turned away from. Though luckily Mario’s newfound conscience finally made an appearance.

He saw a woman in a burning car and decided to action-man it. He got the door open and then carried out his patient even as her car was exploding. So after he realized he could do that, he went out and found a crowbar that could get Kenny out of cement-filled car.

And that’s how a team of three were able to save a man from the impossible.

Yet Christa was alone when she went looking for Lily. Lily was a young kid whose call had been transferred to the hospital and it had been Dr. Perello that had broken her own rule to answer the call. The good doctor normally doesn’t take direct calls from the field but she couldn’t turn down a child. And when she realized Lily was in danger, she had Christa go out to look for her.

Lily’s family had gotten injured when their call had gone off the road. But sadly Lily had been the only one that could still move so the kid didn’t want to leave her mother and brother behind. Not when the fog would have ensured she never be able to find them again.

Therefore it was Christa’s job to find them and after she did – she both lost her radio and injured herself after she took a tumble down a mountain. However she did find the family. So it had been Christa out there on her own treating a mother and son.

And that was a sore spot for her as well.

Christa had lost her own son after months of watching him waste away. So she didn’t want another mother to have to experience that same kind of pain. But in order to treat the teenager, she had to get Lily to help her put her arm back in its socket.

While back near the triage, Rorish and Hudson returned with Jason’s mother but their absence caused another patient to be deprived of oxygen. So Hudson finally admitted in the end that they made decision based on emotion rather than on numbers. And still a patient suffered.

And just as the doctors were beginning to question where Christa was, Mario also disappeared. So Heather went looking for him and was taken hostage as well when a crazed man demanded that they work on his wife that was already too far gone.

But because this was a finale, Pineda couldn’t get left out! So now her pregnant ex that she still very much cares about has a tumor on top of the leukemia.

THE END!
