Shaun doesn't handle the news of Glassman's cancer well, which causes him to make a mistake with one of his patients.


  • Cliffhanger: The first season ends with Glassman and Shaun meeting Andrews, for Shaun to reveal the mistake he made during surgery.
  • Good Cop/Bad Cop: Jared and Alex do this to a friend of the Patient of the Week, to find out what happened to him.
  • Internal Reveal: Shaun's coworkers find out about Glassman's cancer.
  • Put on a Bus: This is Jessica Preston's last appearance on the series, and there is no explanation for her absence.
  • Tantrum Throwing: Glassman comes to his office to find dozens of books all over the place and Shaun writing notes on his dry-erase board and windows, extremely desperate to find any evidence that his cancer diagnosis may by incorrect. Overwhelmed, Glassman picks up a stack of books on his chair, throws them across the room, and yells at Shaun to stop.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Melendez makes one for Morgan, saying that with her behavior, one day she will make a mistake, and he hopes that she will have a friend to protect her when that day comes.
  • To Be Lawful or Good: In the end, Shaun must decide whether to tell Andrews the truth about making a mistake during surgery, or to omit the fact. He finally decides to tell the truth, even though he knows it can cause him to be fired and his mentor Glassman to resign. In turn, Glassman supports him in the decision.
