Shaun and Claire must save a patient's life, but his fiancée and his family can't get along.


  • Bury Your Gays: The female patient who is married to a woman dies.
  • Love Is a Weakness: At the end of the episode, Shaun makes it clear to Glassman that he doesn't plan on loving anyone in his life, as people inevitably die and cause pain.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Claire's face says it all when she learns that she accidentally killed a patient.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Claire realizes a long while after a bus crash that one of the passengers has not been accounted for, and correctly guesses that she has been missed by paramedics and is still near the crash site. She finds her, takes her to hospital, operates on her... and she still dies. The angst comes from the fact that Claire may have also diminished her already meager chances of survival by forgetting one step of the procedure.
